Abstract
The paper explores Asja Bakić’s short stories (collected in Mars and Sweetlust) as examples of highly politically charged xenofeminist speculative fiction, merging the regional feminist heritage with contemporary theoretical articulations. It undertakes a threefold approach to Bakić’s work, analysing its resistance to cultural stereotyping and its quest for political agency beyond the confines of the Balkans/Europe binary; its conceptual links to new materialisms, most prominent in Bakić’s non-anthropocentric approach to sexuality and technology; and its evaluation of a writer’s position in the literary field of contemporary capitalism, closely related to questions of writing, style and genre.
