WARS ARE TEMPORARILY FORGOTTEN: SPACES OF LONG MEMORY IN FARUK ŠEHIĆ’S POETRY COLLECTION MY RIVERS

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show how the real spaces of history and war are transformed into symbolic ones by means of artistic media in the poetry collection My Rivers by Faruk Šehić. In spatial and temporal dynamics, Faruk Šehić questions the topic of wars of the 20th century - from the First and Second World War to the war in the period from 1992 to 1995 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the poetic feeling of the world, woven into the songs of the narrative form, the lyrical subject speaks with the voice of an individual who is aware of the layers of historical experience, identifying with the figures of the lost generation and spatially fixating on three geographical points, the European rivers - Loire, Spree and Drina.
