Two examples of gender-construct in Balkan literature : Kostastas Tachtsis, Dragoslav MihajlovićSlapšak, SvetlanaTwo male authors, in two different contexts, imagined their female protagonists: Kostas Tachtsis, a prolific Greek author and himself a homosexual, wrote a novel on a woman's endurance in the ... challenging and dangerous Greek political urban context over a period of some 50 years, under the title 'Third Wreath' ("The Third Wedding Wreath", 1962); Serbian author Dragoslav Mihajlović, a former pro-soviet sympathizer and political prisoner on 'Goli Otok', at the half-yaz point to his present-day nationalism, wrote the novel 'Petria's Wreath'(1975), in which a rural female protagonist is a suffering icon-beaten, ill, poor, abandoned, widowed, a metaphor for collective, people's suffering. In both cases, a feminine persona is supposed to deconstruct, construct, or destabilize the ruling/serving female prototype. In both inventions a shadow-male is inscribed into the proposed female model. In both cases, the female protagonist serves as a screen for criticism of the correspondent local male-dominant model. Both authors voice a kind of (male) de-centered gender position, or, put more simply, an endagered sexuality: a sexually instable voyeur, a homosexual, a traumatized/tortured former prisoner. Women's criticism of Balkan men's attitudes does not correspond fully with this: in women's writing a men are usually accused of selfishness, inclination to war and violence, and power-struggle. The quest for similiar de-centered gender presentation could revive the debate on gender of the author, somehow lost in the late 70s.Source: Narodna umjetnost : hrvatski časopis za etnologiju i folkloristiku = Croatian journal of ethnology and folklore research. - ISSN 0547-2504 (40, 1, 2003, str. 81-98)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2003Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 876429
