Đurđević Miloš: Drugi pogled

Miloš Đurđević: Another view

Miloš Đurđević studiously and expertly deals with the poetic imaginary of contemporary Croatian literature, this time choosing a number of names that belong to voices beyond the dominant lyrical orientations. He approaches the selected poets at the same time as a refined connoisseur of their oeuvre, the relationship between the text and the media-mediated reality, and the task that poetry ultimately seeks to preserve in this age of technical visualization of the world as a pledge of true telling.

Đurđević insists on subjectivity, the imposition of the subject in literary analyses, that is, the analysis of the subject-language relationship that is the envelope of the subject's womb. He establishes that the subjectivity and characteristics of the lyrical subject are affirmed as constants in the lyrics on the edge of modernism as a mega-epoch, and that the true upheaval in poetry was not caused by the action of language, because a radical gesture always emerges from one's experience.

Always a measured exposition, as well as a vulnerability that he does not hesitate to show as a poet interested in the whole range of topics related to human experience - language, society, friendship, love, politics - dominate and in his literary essays. In them, Đurđević critically approaches the wide spectrum of contemporary domestic (post-Yugoslav) poetry and tries to analyze it, but also to find common denominators.

Ivan Sršen

"First of all, I sought to open up new readings of poetry as a tacit persuasion that in poetry it is possible to discern anew the, I would say too often mystified place of difference, its how and why. Because, it seems that this is simply still necessary for us not only because of a more complete understanding of the work of poetry - and the consequent and/or simultaneous surrender to its effects in the entire potential range from co-experiencing to participation - but also due to the possible indication of different, therefore always necessary approaches to the poetry that is written and published here... If it is taken into account that the field of production of critical and value judgments about literature and poetry is now further narrowed and dispersed, then the question arises as to how and where aesthetic tastes are generated and readers' reception expectations are constructed as consumers of those cultural products."
