ИСТОРИЈА VS МЕМОРИЈА: деконструирана документарност или плурализирана вистина
HISTORY VS MEMORY

Summary/Abstract: Deconstructive approach to history and memory in this essay reveals the dialog relation between the objective character of historic materials and imaginary character of fictional discourse in the works of four south-slavonian writers: Danilo Kiš, Milorad Paviü, Slavko Janevski and Venko Andonovski. When admitting the similarities between the historic and literary description of reality, or more precisely, between the memory and identity, author of this essay understood very clearly that writing is actually narration of the past, conceptual editing of the events through the language, interchangeable recording of historic, cultural and literature codes and citations, that the text is, in a way, cryptogram which at the same time reveals and hides something, it plays with the potential meanings, with nominations and reservations. And this does not only imply talks of the Others, but also reaction of the silence. This is actually, where everything begins: understanding and lack of understanding between the nations and cultures that provoke own Memory, thus writing the world History.
