IVO ANDRIĆ AND THE IDEOLOGICAL CODE IN THE NOVEL "THE SUN OF THIS DAY: A LETTER TO ANDRIĆ" BY VLADIMIR PIŠTALO

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to explore the ideological aspects in the novel The Sun of This Day: A Letter to Andrić by Vladimir Pištalo. Defining it as the work of the post- modern poetics modus characterized by critical self-awareness and the principle of engagement, the paper indicates the central points of the novel. From the perspective of Ivo Andrić’s literary topics, through the historical past, the paper also examines the plane of current events and the circumstances of the peoples in the Balkans during the 21st century. Starting from Pištalo’s interpretation of the national identities of Andrić’s literary heroes, through the question of „violent gratification” of colonial Bosnia and fascism arising from the consciousness of the petty-minded, the paper strives to point out the ideological codes that have been activated with the aim of af- fecting the current moment. Considering that the discourse of the novel is determined by the idea of every ideology as inadequate and disastrous, Pištalo’s ideological code, provided in the form of instructions for overcoming the state of general degradation of values, is found in art as the bearer of the principle of humanity.
