Cultural aspects of the postwar itinerary

Abstract

This work is the analysis of the novel titled Stidovi i krivnje of the Bosnianherzegovinian writer Izet Perviz who accentuates most wonderfully the reflections of both war and postwar periods through the prism of cultural aspects. The narrative is realized on the observation of two female characters, Anđa and Elvira, and emphasis of the subtlety of female voice in the background story which elaborates the problematic criminal demagogy whilst questioning phalloscentric culture.
Parallelly, this novel is a very successful example of spiritual-cosmic imaginary within the itinerary discourse dimension. Literary critical but also cultural analysis challenges reinterpreting the categories such as identity, exile, home and homeland through criticism of ethnocentricism.
