ON PROBLEM AND DISCOURSE ASPECTS OF MIODRAG PAVLOVIĆ'S FOAM DIARY

Abstract

Within Pavlović's essayistic opus, Foam Diary differs somewhat from other works. Although problematically and discursively diverse, genre-layered and more fragmentary than any of his other books, it is still understood today as part of the consistent development of Pavlović's reflection on literature. At the time of publication, it probably seemed unusual, outlandish, and even provocative, but today we certainly accept this book and its thematization of poetry, imagination, erotic and mythical-anthropological foundations of literature as another signal of coherence in the context of Pavlović's poetry and thinking.
