Abstract

Ovajse rad bavi konstrukcijom Srednje Europe kakva se javlja u djelima Czesława Miłosza.
U radu se prikazuje način na koji on kao srednjoeuropski pisac gradi vlastitu ideju o
Srednjoj Europi. U tom se kontekstu iznosi pregled ideja i politika koje su tijekom povijesti
dovele do izdvajanja tog prostora u kontekstu odnosa prema Drugome, fokusirajući se
prvenstveno na razdoblje od prosvjetiteljstva do druge polovice 20. stoljeća. Nadalje,
ponudit će pregled ideja koje su o Srednjoj Europi stvarali njezini pisci u razdoblju druge
polovice 20. stoljeća. Analizirajući te ideje izdvojit će se glavne karakteristike putem kojih
je regija označena. S obzirom na to da se u kontekstu rasprave 80 – ih godina prošlog
stoljeća kao jedno od bitnih elemenata u raspravi o Srednjoj Europi istaknulo pitanje
njezinog postkolonijalnog statusa te su takav stav često promovirali neki od njezinih pisaca,
uključujući Czesława Miłosza, potrebno je izdvojene elemente koji su do tada označavali
Srednju Europu razmotriti u kontekstu postkolonijalne teorije i odnosa prema Drugome. U
konačnici ponudit će se analiza dvaju proznih djela Czesława Miłosza – Rodbinska Europa
i Zasužnjeni um. Na temelju tih djela izdvojit će se elementi koji se mogu smjestit unutar
navedenog teorijskog okvira te na temelju kojih će se prikazati Miłoszeva ideja o Srednjoj
Europi.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with the construction of Central Europe that is present in the works of
Czesław Miłosz. The paper willshow how he constructs his idea of Central Europe. In order
to do so, it will provide the overview of different ideas and politics that have throughout
history shaped and separated this space in the context of Otherness, focusing mainly on the
period between the age of enlightenment and the first half of the 20th century. Also, the
paper will provide the overview of ideas of Central Europe constructed by its writers inthe
second half of the 20th century. By analysing their ideas we will point out the main
characteristics that mark the region. Considering that the discussion on Central Europe
during the 1980s pointed out the possibility of central European postcolonial status, that
was also advocated by some of its writers, including Czesław Miłosz, it is necessary to
consider the characteristics that marked the region in the context of postcolonial theory and
in relation to the Other. Finally, we will analyse two works written by Czesław Miłosz –
The Captive Mind and Native Realm. This analysis will help us to highlight those elements
that can be considered in the context of the aforementioned theoretical framework and also
it will help us to show Miłosz's idea of Central Europe.
