Women’s Writing in Contemporary South Slavic Poetry

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on women’s poetic work in the South Slavic literatures during the first decades of the 21st century. Its object of observation and comparison is the female lyrical discourse in the countries of the Slavic South, with an emphasis on Bulgarian, Croatian, and Serbian women’s poetry. The starting point of the research lies in the established notions of women’s writing in a South Slavic context. The aim of the study is to compare the main tendencies in women’s poetic writing and to discuss the shared or nationally specific features of contemporary women’s poetry in accordance with the cultural contexts in which it emerges. Contemporary women’s poetry is analyzed through the lens of distinct poetic models based on the construction of the female subject, specific problematics, thematic range, and other factors. The poetic phenomena are examined in two directions: in relation to those from the late 20th century and in a synchronic perspective. The study also pays special attention to the question of the possible formation of a female poetic canon. In this regard, the anthology production from the turn of the century and the first decades of the 21st century is also analyzed.
