Sažetak
The emotional body has so far been the subject of research in psychology, medicine, and cultural studies. The paper will investigate the emotional body on the example of a morally-ethically and emotionally complex case of textually represented trauma of a raped woman in the Homeland War in the wartime monodrama Slike Marijine [Marija’s Pictures] (1996) by Lydia Scheuermann Hodak. The emotional body will be explored using postmodernist narrative strategies as a literary-theoretical emotional concept. The methodological matrix of the work will be the theory of the emotional body by Martín-Moruno and Pichel (2019). According to the aforesaid authors, the emotional body will be explored as a result of the configuration of matter in which emotions are the driving force and the result of performativity. Due to the genocidal policy or wartime rape of women in Croatia from 1990 to 1995, Marija’s traumatized emotional body will be classified as painful, hysterical, and political, with the aim of resisting masculine discursive and social practice.
