Summary
Snežana Milojević: The Law of the Land
A narrative about a woman in the prose of Ivo Andrić
The Law of the Land Snežana Milojević is a dedicated, competent, readable monograph with an insight into Andrić's entire work. With this book, the author established her analytical competences by believing in Eco's thesis about the endless possibilities of interpreting a literary text. The law of the land testifies to the multidimensionality of the questionable creativity and its relevance.
Prof. dr Olivera Radulović
Despite focusing on corpus- and thematically limited research material, the author did not opt for a single methodological approach, but tried to choose the most appropriate analytical framework for each individual text, all with the aim of new, creative discoveries of the meaning potential of Andrić's works.
Prof. dr Davor Dukić
Taking the motif of women as an integrative element for the analysis of the selected corpus and moving in the space of the framework theme, with a sovereign command of theoretical literature and a good familiarity with the critical reception of Andrić's work, Snežana Milojević offers a special interpretive context with her monograph Law of the Land and shows how Andrić destabilized the idea of women in traditional society and culture with a subversive act.
