The process of carnivalization in Milos Crnjanski’s Druga knjiga Seoba

Abstract

The goal of this work is to use a genre-poetical and literary-historical base to analyze a possibility of establishing a specific sub-genre core in Druga knjiga Seoba, which is created through a multi-centuries tradition of menippean satire and the carnivalization of literature on the one hand, and modernism on the other. The result of examining the genre tradition, or rather carnivalization and menippea, and literary-historical context, or rather modernism in this novel should be to detect the differences between traditional carnivalization in medieval and renaissance literature and one in the modern literature and to notice the innovations within the carnival as a motive and thematic base
