POSTMODERNISM AND CROATIAN LITERATURE

Krešimir Nemec

Sažetak

The Croatian literary production of the eighties bears the stamp of a typically
postmodernist phenomenon characterized by and explosion of literary forms, an integration of the most diverse styles, and their peaceful coexistence. The boundaries between high and trivial literature have been erased, the hierarchy of genres abolished, and a lively dialogue with the tradition established. The common denominator of this period is precisely the lack of any common denominator.
The literary production is strongly marked by an absolute dispersion of styles and poetics, by a multiplication of differences. There is no longer a single dominant literary paradigm; it has been replaced by a great variety of heterogeneous
literary processes, all reflecting the authors’ desire to assert themselves within the framework of different conventions and models. Instead of typically modernist aesthetic categories like »new« and »original«, eclecticism, intertextu- ality, imitation, etc. prevail. Feyerabend’s slogan anything goes applies to contemporary
Croatian literature too.
