Abstract

The paper identifies the basic models of the fictional worlds of Ilija Vukićevic’s stories with elements of fantastic. The methodological premise is taken from the model postulated by Marie-Laure Ryan. This research is the basis for analy- sis and a new approach to the provocative topic of the restrictiveness of poetics in the epoch of realism towards fantastic content. The starting points in the research are the semantics of the fictional, modal systems, real and non-real relations, types of relations, the real world of the text, alternative possible worlds. We will present the applicative possibilities of previously postulated theoretical overviews through analysis of several texts belonging to opus of Ilija Vukicevic: “The story of the village Vraci and Sima Stupica”, “How Nastas nalbantin sought and found happiness”, “Pixie”, “Cursed beauty”, “Tzar Goran”, “The fearsome dream”, “A healing stick”, “The devil and a girl”, “Heart”.
