Intertekstualne veze: franjevački ljetopisi – Andrić – suvremeni hrvatski pripovjedači
Intertextual connections: Franciscan chronicles – Andric – Croatian contemporary narrators

Summary/Abstract: This paper contains seven independent scientifi c researches and two workshops linked to a mutual literary corpus (the 18th century Franciscan chronicles and the opus of contemporary narrators), as well as the key theoretical concepts that have marked the last decades in humanities and social sciences. These include cultural memory phenomenon, different strategies on remembering and forming of the individual and collective identity. In the introduction the theoretical foundations of the research have been laid down by presenting what is it that includes intertextuality, cultural memory, memory and history, as well as presenting the 18th century Franciscan chronicles with which contemporary narrators, starting with Ivo Andric, establish intertextual connections. The second part focuses on the ways Bosnian Franciscan are shaped in the works of Ivo Andric. It is primarily based on the Franciscan chronicles and follows the strategy of creating „figures of memory“ – the friars function as the guardians of memory and time. They accumulate memories, write them down and keep them away from oblivion. It is also a method to fight the „evil“ around us. The relationship between history and fiction is investigated in the third part of the paper on the example of Andric’s Travnička hronika (The Chronicles of Travnik), a model example of subjecting the documentary material to fantasy and to the performative power of the text. The text takes a role of a keeper, but also maker, of memories – a cornerstone in shaping the identity of a community.
