СЛОВЕНСТВО У РАНОЈ ПОЕЗИЈИ РАСТКА ПЕТРОВИЋА
In the paper Slavdom in early poetry of Rastko Petrović we are analyzing the role and the significance of the elements of slavdom, Slavic mythology and paganism, as well as Petrovićs vision of Slavic pantheon in early poetry from 1919 to 1924. The main object of our criticism is revealing connection between the idea of slavdom and the idea of vitality which regards the vibe of life, the possibility of restitution and transformation, as key subjects of the R. Petrovićs’ poetics, as well as the way of how the idea of slavdom is being diversified in his poetry. The methods of mythologization are being scrutinized on the levels of semantics, structure and stylistics. It is deduced that Petrović as a poet, through mythical symbols of death and rebirth, is returning to traditional art, considered as original expressive power, to achieve and create bonds with the myth and to revitalize magical capability of language.
