Abstract

Rad analizira intertekstualne relacije franjevačkih kronika 18. stoljeća s odabranim tekstovima Ive Andrića i Josipa Mlakića u teoretskom okviru pojmova pripovijedanja i zla. U okviru Ljetopisa fra Nikole Lašvanina, Ljetopisa kreševskoga samostana fra Marijana Bogdanovića te Ljetopisa sutješkoga samostan fra Bone Benića razmatra se koncept bilježenja i pamćenja povijesti kao „učiteljice života“. Stoga će se pripovijedanje očitovati kao izvor spoznaje, ali i kao čuvar ugroženog identiteta. Analiza nadalje pokazuje važnost ljetopisne tradicije u tzv. „franjevačkom ciklusu“ te romanima Travnička hronika, Na Drini ćuprija i Prokleta avlija Ive Andrića. Odnosno Andrićeva će djela preuzeti koncept ponovljivosti povijesnog zla koje se upisuje u prostor Bosne, a ispisuje u liku fratra. Andrićevi fratri svjedoče odmak od politike do poetike, odnosno postaju prije svega simbolima pripovijedanja i pamćenja koji se zatim prenose i u Mlakićevim tekstovima kao što je slučaj u romanu Tragom zmijske košuljice. Interpretacija nadalje pokazuje kako Mlakićevi romani zadržavaju koncept ponovljivosti zla, ali donose odmake u konceptima pripovijedanja. Kad magle stanu posvjedočit će propast priče o homogenom identitetu i pojavu novih priča na temelju kojih se subjekt samostalno (de)konstruira. Nadalje analiza romana Evanđelje po Barabi ističe ideju performativnosti nepouzdane priče koja sudjeluje u konstrukciji svijeta i zla. Nakraju se razmatra složenost same priče i njezine ekvivalentnosti sa životom kojim upravlja neiskazivo zlo na temelju romana Skica u ledu.

Abstract (english)

This paper analyzes intertextual relations between the 18th century Franciscan chronicles and
the selected works of Ivo Andrić and Josip Mlakić, taking into consideration the theoretical
concepts of narration and evil. Based on the selected 18th century Franciscan chronicles, the
paper examines the connection between narration as memory and history as “magistra vitae.”
Consequently, narration is established as a source of knowledge, but also as the guardian of
threatened identity. Furthermore, the analysis shows the importance of the 18th century
chronical tradition within the works of Ivo Andrić, including the short stories of the so called
„franjevački ciklus“ (The Franciscan Cycle) and his novels Travnička hronika (Bosnian
Chronicle), Na Drini ćuprija (The Bridge on the Drina) and Prokleta avlija (Damned Yard).
The structural logic of these works is dependent on the repetition of historical evil inscribed in
Bosnia, which is in turn written-out through the the figure of the Bosnian Franciscan.
Franciscans, thus shaped by Andrić, reveal the shift from politics to poetics and ultimately
become symbols of narration and memory. Moreover, this symbol is later employed in Josip
Mlakić's works, particularly in the novel Tragom zmijske košuljice (Tracing the Snakeskin).
The paper further shows how Mlakić's novels rely on the same repetition of evil, but
otherwise differ in the way narration is understood. His novel Kad magle stanu (When the
Mists Have Stopped) thematizes the failure of narrating uniform identity and reveals new
narratives that provide the basis on which the subject can independently (de)construct itself.
The analysis of the novel Evanđelje po Barabi (The Gospel According to Barabbas) then
emphasizes the performativity of unreliable narration which takes part in constructing the idea
of the world and of evil. Finally, the complex nature of story and its equivalence to life
governed by inexpressible evil is examined in the context of Mlakić's novel Skica u ledu (A
Sketch in Ice).
