%0 Journal Article %T INNOCENCE OF THE COUNTRY IN THE SELECTED PLAYS OF IVAN VIDI£¿ AND LADA KA£¿TELAN %A Crnojevi£¿-Cari£¿ %A Dubravka %J - %D 2019 %X Sa£¿etak The paper focuses on the correlation between the phenomenon of the country and ¡®self¡¯, interpreted in different ways in the selected plays of Lada Ka£¿telan and Ivan Vidi£¿, relying upon theoreticians and philosophers who deal with £¿habitat£¿ (G. Bachelard), as well as with £¿home£¿, relationship between a personal and social system (N. Luhmann) and with the impression of £¿ours£¿ and £¿foreign£¿ (U. Bielefeld), £¿other£¿ and different (D. Caroll). In this respect arise the issues of ideal as defense from existential fear, and correlation of events and fiction (thanks to the idea of a £¿foreign£¿ it becomes clear how the £¿reality£¿ and fiction do not create opposition). Vidi£¿ and Ka£¿telan open the same subjects, approaching them in almost opposite ways. If we accept the thesis that a subject is split within himself, and therefore permanently aims at the £¿original£¿, £¿innocent state of the soul£¿ it is possible to notice how, in Ka£¿telan¡¯s plays we can identify a dominant process of subjectivization (attempt to persuade the co-speaker to exteriorize his carefully hidden £¿self£¿, and in Vidi£¿¡¯s works the process of objectivization (M. Bahtin). Objectivization is a monological position, thanks to which one tries to reduce his co-speaker to a pre-set structure of generally valid fact. Vidi£¿ writes precisely about the processes of objectivization. Through objectivization we try to speak of him or her, rather than with him, we try to see our co-speaker as an object of a future manipulation. However, paradoxically enough, this way Vidi£¿-the writer acts with the aim to open up that carefully hidden £¿self£¿ in his viewer, the Shadow, the £¿foreigner£¿ within himself %K Homeland %K habitat %K fiction %K subjectivization process %K objectivization process %K dialogism %K occupation of the unconscious %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=321875
