Abstract
This article is dedicated to Jelčić’s interpretations of Šegedin’s opus on one hand, and on the other to his efforts and activities on the promotion and popularization of Petar Šegedin’s literary work in a wider cultural public. The first part of the presentation will, therefore, be focused on Dubravko Jelčić’s studies and analyses of some of Šegedin’s novels, short prose, diaries or the author’s literary and publicist work in general, which he published in the form prefaces and afterwords to the editions of Šegedin’s works, in magazines and newspapers and, finally, in obituaries and memorial texts written after Šegedin’s death in 1998, which – considering the fact that the relationship between Jelčić, a literary historian, and Šegedin, a literary author, was not only scholarly-analytical but also friendly – assume somewhat more intimate nuances. The second part of the presentation will attempt to show and save from oblivion Jelčić’s work as one of the founders of The Days of Petar Šegedin, a scholarly-cultural event taking place biennially since 2005 in Korčula and Žrnovo, Šegedin’s place of birth, and in Orebić, where he was buried. In this context, Dubravko Jelčić will be remembered as the first chair of conferences on Šegedin’s life and work as well as the editor of the proceedings that followed them. It is primarily Jelčić’s expert knowledge of Šegedin’s opus and his motivation by their personal contact that contributed to the lasting and high quality of the event.
