Petra POŽGAJ: O NEKAKVIM NEDOZRELIM DJEVOJKAMA I NJIHOVIM SUDBINAMA38ON SOME IMMATURE GIRLS AND THEIR DESTINIES: NARRATING GIRLHOOD IN JOSIP BARKOVIĆ’S NOVEL ALMAAbstractPetra POŽGAJVrbik X. 2HR – 10 000 [email protected] engaging the debates on feminist postclassical narratology and by approaching liter-ary representations of girls as one of the sites of the production of girlhood, understood as a category independent of concrete discursive articulations and not as a reflection of a stable biological or social category, this paper focuses on the analysis of Josip Bark-ović’s Alma and aims to contribute to discussions on the relationship between gender and narration. Specifically, it argues that gender must not be considered in isolation or, in other words, that ignoring the broader socio-cultural context while discussing novels about Yugoslav girls would mean ignoring the significance of Yugoslav socialism and attributing a feminist impulse to Barković’s novel. A brief discussion of the theo-retical and socio-cultural context allows for the analysis of Barković’s novel focused on the narrative fashioning of girlhood and the figure of the girl in order to show that a consideration of the context of the novel and its further existence in the cultural field provides a twofold advantage. On the one hand, it broadens the understanding of the actual cultural representations of the figure of youth with their incredibly important role in the Yugoslav socialist society while taking into account the category of gender. On the other hand, it expands the understanding of the socio-cultural context in which that figure is produced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stupajući u dijalog s poljem feminističke postklasične naratologije i pristupajući književnim reprezentacijama djevojaka kao jednome od mjesta proizvodnje djevojaštva, koje se shvaća kao kategorija koja ne postoji neovisno o konkretnim diskurzivnim artikulacijama, a ne kao odraz postojane biološke ili društvene kategorije, ovim radom, koji je posvećen analizi romana Alma Josipa Barkovića, nastojimo pridonijeti raspravi o odnosu roda i pripovijedanja te pokazati kako se problem roda ne smije promatrati u izolaciji, odnosno kako bi zanemariti širi društveno-kulturni kontekst pri razmatranju jugoslavenskoga djevojačkog romana značilo zanemariti značaj jugoslavenskoga socijalističkog konteksta i Barkovićevu romanu olako pripisati feministički impuls. Kraća rasprava o teorijskome i društveno-kulturnome kontekstu s kojim ovaj rad stupa u dijalog uzima se kao poticaj za analizu romana koja se usredotočuje na pripovjedno oblikovanje djevojaštva i figure djevojke kako bi se pokazalo da, uzmemo li u obzir kontekst u kojemu taj roman nastaje i njegov daljnji život u kulturnome polju, stječemo dvojaku prednost: dok s jedne strane možemo obogatiti svoje čitanje konkretnih kulturnih reprezentacija figure omladine koja je toliko važna u jugoslavenskome socijalističkom društvu uzimajući u obzir kategoriju roda, s druge strane možemo proširiti svoje razumijevanje društveno-kulturnoga konteksta u kojemu se ta figura proizvodi.
