From Post-Yugoslavia to the Female Continent

The book shows how the feminist reading of literature can help locate two chimeric sites: Post-Yugoslavia and a female continent.
This study of contemporary literature from the former Yugoslavia (Post-Yugoslavia) follows the ways in which the feminist writing of gender, body, sexuality, and social and cultural hierarchies brings to light the past of socialist Yugoslavia, its cultural and literary itineraries and its dissolution in the Yugoslav wars. The analysis also focuses on the particularities of different feminist writings, together with their picturing of possible futures. The title of the book suggests an attempt to interpret post-Yugoslav literature as feminist writing, but also a process of conceptualizing a post-Yugoslav literary field, in this study represented by contemporary fiction from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.
Tijana Matijevic (PhD), is independent researcher currently teaching post-Yugoslav literature, culture, and languages at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena and the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. Her research focuses on the feminist writing and the continuities between the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav literatures.
»A book full of detailed descriptions and analyses that are highly relevant to how post-Yugoslavia deals with the future. An insightful read for people who are not interested in easy and ready-made answers.«
