Abstract
This paper examines the first poetry book by Tomislav Augustinčić,
a contemporary Croatian theoretician, poet, and
literary critic, entitled Ipak, zora (Still, Dawn). Analysis and
interpretation are focused on the (meta)reflexive lyrical subject
and body as the central thematic aspect of the book. The
first part of the paper opens a question of this poetry book as
a conceptual whole as well as its possible genre classifications,
and chooses the genre mode – “long poem” or narrative
poem – through which it is analysed and interpreted. In
the second part of the paper, the focus in on the issue of the
lyrical subject and/as a body, with an emphasis on time and
space, intimistic and erotic (love) thematic scope, and metadiscursive
relationships. In accordance with the theme of the
journal in which it is published, the work is methodologically
based on the contemporary stylistic reconceptualization
of poetry and poetic style regarding the category of lyrical
subject, poetic reflexivity, and imagery, as well as the metadiscursive
poetic relations (Tin Lemac). The paper presents
polydiscursiveness as a poetic and stylisticians constituent
of this poetry book.
