| Note: | TITLE: In search of home: examples of autofiction in contemporary Bosnian-Herzegovinian prose / ABSTRACT: The thesis questions the relationship between the author's biography and the narrator's position in relation to the homeland, and is interested in the image of Bosnia and Herzegovina as reflected in selected works from contemporary prose production. The problem of mobility, which affects the perception of space, is at the forefront, while the narratives in the selected works by Lana Bastašić, Đurđica Čilić, Velibor Čolić and Aleksandar Hemon reveal traces of recent history, especially the war during the breakup of Yugoslavia, which left literary figures and narrators with trauma. The reading analyses the author's poetics in selected autofiction works and also discusses them in relation to the experience of emigration. / KEYWORDS: Bosnian-Herzegovinian literature, emigrant literature, exile, mobility, autofiction |
