Jevrejstvo iz perspektive deteta u romanu "Semper idem" Đorđa Lebovića

Abstract

Rad je zasnovan na tumačenju dečje percepcije sveta odraslih u Lebovićevom romanu "Semper idem", a naročito sudbine Jevreja u Somboru. Ispripovedan u prvom licu roman sužava vidokrug na lični doživlјaj, stvara utisak neposrednosti. Zbog toga je neophodno utvrditi dimenzije pripovedača i otud proisteklu upotrebu tuđeg govora. U radu se naročita pažnja posvećuje specifičnom odnosu prema jevrejstvu u srpskom i jugoslovenskom društvu pre Drugog svetskog rata.

The paper is based on the interpretation of a child's perspective of the adult world in the novel "Semper Idem" by Đorđe Lebović, and especially the faith of the Jewish people in Sombor, a small multicultural community. The constant observer of the adult world observes the existential questions in strong dramatic fragments with a stream of multitudinous thoughts and feelings characteristic of memories. The novel told in the first person allows for a certain narrowing of the general worldview to personal experience, and creates an impression of the directness of narration. Thus, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the narrator (in relation to other characters, the addressee and themselves) and the concurring use of heteroglossia in different forms. The autobiographical chronicles of growing up and the accompanying authentic style are characterized by the repetition syndrome ("semper idem") which indicates the continuity and timelessness of primitivism, hate, and wantonness, which gives birth to crime. The paper particularly highlights the specific relations towards the Jews, Jewish personhood, and Jewish identity in the Serbian and Yugoslav society before World War II.
