Summary/Abstract: The goal of this paper is to use a genre-poetical and literary-historical base to analyze а possibility of establishing a specific sub-genre core in The Journal of Čarnojević, which is founded on a multicentenial tradition of Menippean satire and the carnivalized literature on one hand, and modernism on the other. The result of examining the genre tradition, or rather carnivalization and Menippea, and literaryhistorical context, or rather modernism in this work, should be the definition of a “new” sub-genre, based directly on these two premises (genre and periodization). From the thematic-motif and semantic contexts in this novel, one can delineate the crucial question of identity (hero, society, the work itself), so that this new genre sub-group of carnivalized modernistic literature, represented by the aforementioned work, can be characterized as carnival-identity literature, or rather, as will be shown in this work, a kind of carnivalization of identity.
