СЛИКА СРПСКОПРАВОСЛАВНОГ САРАЈЕВА У ПРОЗИ МАЊЕ ПОЗНАТИХ ПРИПОВЈЕДАЧА НА РАЗМЕЂИ 19. И 20. ВИЈЕКА

Abstract

The paper deals with the image of the Serbian Orthodox community in the late Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Sarajevo, given through the narrative work of lesser-known authors of the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century: Stevo Kaluđerčić, Mita Živković, Novak Simić. Since most of these authors also wrote historiographical texts about Sarajevo (which we will also refer to), and their fiction is based on the poetic principles of realism and is intended primarily for a local and regional audience, we introduced the hypothesis that the horizon of expectations at the time had to impose a high mimetic referentiality of the work. Therefore, through this work, we will try to prove the real relevance of the literary images of the city and its Serbian community, with the hope that such a modest contribution would shed the light on the still insufficiently researched cultural history of the Sarajevo Serbs.
