Stih za djecu i stih za odrasle Branka Stevanovića – tanatološki, intertekstualni i metodički aspekti
Verse for Children and Verse for Adults by Branko Stevanović: Thanatological, Intertextual, and Didactic Aspects

Summary/Abstract: Through a comparative analysis of Branko Stevanović's poems for children and adults, this paper examines the ways the poetic text is shaped and how it can be received by readers. Two common features of Stevanović's work for children and his work for adults are the subject of this analysis: the presence of the thematic complex of death and the creative transformation of intertextual relations. It is precisely at these levels of the poetic text that one can observe how the author perceives his implicit reader and what strategies he uses in the writing process to adapt his work to them. One of the main insights to emerge from the analyses is that the thematisation of death is more complex in poetry for adults, while in poetry for children the call for critical reception of intertextual connections is more pronounced. These insights have the potential to serve as methodological material for studying the work of Branko Stevanović in an educational context.
