Moralni svedok: savremena poetika memoara

Abstract

Monografija "Moralni svedok: savremena poetika memoara" motivisana je najpre praksom pisanja i "čitanja" ovog žanra koja je, od sredine dvadesetog veka do naše savremenosti, pokazala najmanje dve klјučne promene u imanentnoj poetici memoarske proze koje nisu obuhvaćene rečničkim definicijama: prva se tiče izmene u samom sadržaju jer se od memoara bivših zaroblјenika nacističkih logora javlјa proza koja je i u pogledu kognitivnih parametara, i u domenu sva tri tipa intencija - autorske, čitaočeve, samog teksta - prevazišla postojeće "okvire"; drugu promenu uočavamo od pojave proze Kristijane F. (Felšerinov) koja ocrtava nov tip memoariste - bivšeg zavisnika i težište pripovedanja u još većoj meri prenosi sa događaja na "doživlјaj". Oba tipa memoarske proze imaju genezu, dugu tradiciju i permanentnu aktuelnost…

The monograph "Moral witness: contemporary poetics of memoirs" is primarily motivated by the practice of writing and "reading" of this genre, which, from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, has shown at least two key changes in the immanent poetics of memoir prose that are not covered by dictionary definitions: the first concerns changes in the content itself, because the memoirs of former prisoners of Nazi camps produced prose that, both in terms of cognitive parameters and in the domain of all three types of intentions - the author's, the reader's, the text itself - overcame the existing "frames"; another change can be observed from the appearance of the prose of Christiana F. (Felsherinov), who outlines a new type of memoirist - a former addict and shifts the focus of the narration to an even greater extent from the event to the "experience". Both types of memoir prose have a genesis, a long tradition, and permanent relevance...
