‘Posljednji nomad južnoslavenske književnosti’: Autorske figure Bekima Sejranovića
‘The Last Nomad of South Slav Literature’: Bekim Sejranović’s Authorial Figures

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on certain authorial figures or myths that appear in both paratextual elements and literary works of the writer Bekim Sejranović. These figures or myths, already established in Croatian literary criticism during the 20th century, are the bohemian, nomad or flâneur (associated with A. G. Matoš and Tin Ujević), and the author positioned in between (the paradigmatic example would be Ivo Andrić). Autofiction is an important characteristic of Sejranović’s literary corpus and can help perpetuate certain authorial myths and figures that surround the writer. The article analyzes the ways in which elements of authorial figures appear in paratextual elements but also in the literary text Dnevnik jednog nomada, which has a strong autofictional tone. On this example, the paper tries to present how certain authorial figures established in the 20th century function in contemporary context.
