Abstract

The subject of the paper is the analysis of specific genre features and (con)textual circumstances of the literary polemics between Ujević - Drainac - Ujević, conducted in the interwar period, mainly in the daily newspaper Pravda. Taking into account all the complexity of the case of this polemic (seriality, multiple intentionality; explicit and implicit poetics of serial polemics; the status of actors and audience; the circumstances of the daily newspaper and the Belgrade poetic bohemian circle, as well as Drainac’s overall poetics), we come to the conclusion of the multiple conditioned functionality of literary polemics, to which the specifics of the actor, topic and style contribute proportionately, but also the publication itself, whose choice, in the case of the serial polemic of the “ready” Drainac and the no less ready Ujević, is indicated by practical reasons and the desire for publicity.
