„Mozak koji je izbačen iz lobanje”: Peščanik Danila Kiša kao auto/patografija o zalutalom racionalizmu

Abstract

The central place of Danilo Kis’s novel Hourglass, which is a kind of an illness/disease narrative (ecriture patografique), is occupied by the human condition as an animal rationale. It was one of the subjects raised by many intellectuals, including Edmund Husserl, whose name does not appear here accidentally. Phenomenology was a strong intellectual impetus for the authors of the new French novel. Although in his statements Kis resolutely distanced himself from any connections with him, emphasizing the documentary, auto/biographical character of his work, in this article I point to the existent (albeit unintended) connections between Kis’s novel and the literary views of his French colleagues.
