Magijski realizam i Danilo Kiš
Magical Realism and Danilo Kiš

Summary/Abstract: The fundamental characteristic of magical realism is its duality, which enables alternative representations of history. The key features of the explication of magical realism as a narrative way and as artistic media is its potential to adapt to different “cultural sites” and different cultural directions. In the approach to Kiš’s art, besides the famous discussions on magical realism in postmodern and postcolonial fiction, we turn to consideration of the conditions that have led the authors, by writing in the style of magical realism, to seek the recovery of traumatic memories related to the specific historical events of violence such as the Holocaust.
