'МИТОТ – АПСОЛУТНА ВИСТИНИТА ПРИКАЗНА' И 'СОВРЕМЕНИОТ МИТ – ИЛУЗИЈА': МОЖНИ ИЗЛЕЗИ ПРИ ПОТРАГАТА ПО КОРЕНОТ НА ПОТЕКЛОТО И СМИСЛАТА НА ПРОДОЛЖУВАЊЕТО (преку драмата Словенски ковчег од Венко Андоновски)
'MYTH - ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY' AND 'MODERN MYTH - ILLUSION': POSSIBLE OUTCOMES IN THE SEARCH FOR THE ROOT OF ORIGIN AND THE MEANING OF CONTINUATION (THROUGH THE PLAY SLOVENSKI KOVCHEG BY VENKO ANDONOVSKI)

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we focused on the dramatic text Slovenski kovcheg by Venko Andonovski (1996), where the plot takes place in 1993; a time of transition, a time when the issue of identity is problematized, using insights from postcolonial theory, imagology and identity studies. We researched the relationship between Macedonian contemporary drama, myth and identity, and we discovered the functioning of myth in the search for the root of origin. In the paper of searching for the root of origin, two ideas opposed each other as possible solutions: the idea of the mythical past (myth - absolute truth) and the contemporary idea of an externally imposed identity argumentation, in accordance with the current socio-political conditions (myth - illusion). We also examined the consequences and effects on identity of the opposition of these two ideas in the search for the roots of origin, as well as the relationship identity - myth - search for the roots of origin. The paper answered the question of whether the search for one's own root of origin is a tragic process and confirmed the thesis that the opposition of the two ideas: represents a process of unexpected tragedy as a way out - in the search for the root of origin.
