On the basis of her review of D.A.

A partire dalla recensione del libro di D.A. Norris sulla letteratura bellica serba nella seconda metà del Novecento, l'A. fa alcuni rilievi metodologici e pone la questione se gli scenari di morte che costituiscono il tema di fondo della letteratura in questione siano soltanto il portato di un tragico destino o non piuttosto il modo in cui il fantasma nazionale del popolo serbo organizza i dati dell'esperienza asservendoli a sé.

Abstract
On the basis of her review of D.A. Norris' book on Serbian war literature in the second half of the 20th century, the A. makes some fundamental remarks of methodology and raises the question whether death scenarios which form the underlying theme of the literature concerned are only the consequence of doom or, more likely, the way in which Serbian people's national fantasy elaborates data derived from its life experience, subjecting them to its particular point of view.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
