Abstract

Rad preispituje koliko važnu ulogu ima urbani prostora, grad u konstrukciji identiteta likova interkulturalnih pisaca. Kao predložak za analizu su korišteni raniji romani, intervjui i eseji autora Aleksandra Hemona i Davida Albaharija. Od romana su korišteni: Čovjek bez prošlosti, Mamac, Svetski putnik i Snežni čovek. U prvom djelu rada izloženi su koncepti interkulturnog i interkulturlanog u književnosti, problematika identifikacije kod interkulturalnih autora i pojam prostora u književnosti. Radi konteksta uključene su i kratke biografije autora. Naglasak je u radu stavljen na interakciju likova s prostorom grada te su analizirani pristupi formaciji njihovog identiteta kroz tekst romana. Oba autora drugačije pristupaju formaciji identiteta pa samim time i konstrukciji likova u odnosu na urbani prostor. Primjećuje se kako u Albaharijevim radovima odsutnost prostora i naglasak na unutarnjem imaju veću ulogu pri konstrukciji likova, a Hemonovim radovima prostor eksplicitno utječe na formiranje identiteta.

Abstract (english)

The paper examines the importance of urban space (the city) is in construction of the identity of the characters in the works of intercultural writers. Earlier novels, interviews and essays by Alexander Hemon and David Albahari were used for the analysis. Specifically, the novels used were: Nowhere Man, Bait, Snow Man and Globetrotter. In the first part of the paper, the concepts of intercultural literature, identification issues regarding intercultural authors and the concept of space in literature are presented. For the context, short biographies of the author are included. The emphasis in this work was placed on the interaction of the characters with the city space and what is analyzed are the approaches to the formation of their identity through the text of the novel. Both authors have different approaches to identity formation, which is evident in their construction of characters in relation to urban space. It is noted that in Albahari's works, the absence of space and the emphasis on the inner lives of his characters has a greater role in the design of characters, and in contrast, in Hemon's works space explicitly influences the formation of identity.
