Abstract
In this essay I analyze the structuring the sensible in the canonical book of poetry Lyric of Ithaca by Milos Crnjanski. The approach is interdisciplinary and based upon the conceptions developed by the sensory history, psychoanalytical theory of Jacques Lacan, and philosophy of Jacques Rancière. The essay focuses on the staged split with the dominant regime of the sensible, in the experiences of love and sexuality, urban spaces, and war, in whose place Crnjanski’s poetry attempts to establish alternative modes of interaction with the world, which can be recognized as the “Sumatraist” regime of the sensible. Consequently, sensory reality will be interpreted as a space of contention between different poetics and ideologies, which will further the understanding of Crnjanski’s poetry, as well as modernism in Slavic literatures in general. National language is an important part of the spiritual culture of every nation. And its units, such as phraseologisms, have long been a powerful means of knowing life, they truly reflect the thoughts, aspirations and hopes of the people, contribute to the cultivation of aesthetic tastes and ideals. It is they who have absorbed all the vital wisdom of the Belarussian and Ukrainian peoples, have been able to reflect their worldview in the smallest detail and are still widely used both in speech and in literature.
