THE BALKANS Sanjin KODRIĆ Department of Literatures of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina University of Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina “EAST AND WEST – HEART AND MIND”: THE MUSLIM ORIENT AND THE EUROPEAN OCCIDENT IN BOSNIAK LITERATURE AT THE END OF THE 19TH AND THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY Abstract: The paper presents a comprehensive but still concise view of the phenomenon of interrelation between the Muslim Orient and the Eu- ropean West in modern Bosniak literature, i .e . in Bosniak literary practice from the late 19th century onwards, up to the present moment . The Mus- lim Orient and the European West encounter directly in Bosniak literature especially after 1878, which is the year that is therefore the dividing line between the so-called older and modern Bosniak literature . This encounter left a deep mark in modern Bosniak literature, but also in the culture of Bosniaks and Bosnia-Herzegovina in general, crucially modelling more or less all fundamental processes in modern Bosniak literary practice, and particularly the processes of cultural memory in terms of both memory of literature and memory in literature, as well as literature as a form of collec- tive memory . This innovative view of the Bosniak literary past is realized from different methodological and theoretical perspectives, starting from classical literary and cultural history as well as interliterary and intercul- tural history of literature, through cultural poetics or post-colonial studies, to imagology and cultural memory studies, etc . Keywords: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bosniak literature, Muslim Orient, Muslim Slavic people . 14 SANJIN KODRIĆ 1 . As an autochthonous Muslim Slavic people, Bosniaks nowadays have been positioned in a rather specific way between the Muslim Orient and the European Occident, which is, naturally, evident in the diverse areas of their culture . Although the absolute and apodictic judgements always hap- pen to be ungrateful, the most frequent and best known self-reflective con- ception in this sense is the image of Bosniaks as the people at crossroads, but also serving as a bridge between East and West . Both such conceptions bear a positive and negative emotional character . They are often perceived as a particular comparative advantage, but, at the same time, also as particularly unlucky circumstances . In both cases, literature participated to the greatest extent in the representations of both such aspects of the Bosniak destiny . It refers, therefore, in such a sense, to specific literary representations with im- portant consequences in a domain that lies clearly outside literature . This current image of the Bosniaks about themselves has, however, had a long and complex history, which had shaped it, but it could also be traced and followed in a literary history, within both the oral and written literature . And such issues have been almost altogether left out from the focus of interest of previous literary-historical and cultural-historical research activities, notwithstanding their unquestionable importance1 . In the oral literature of Bosniaks, the understanding of the Muslim Orient and the European Oc- cident has been mostly accomplished on the margins of epic interest for the meeting between a Muslim hero (“ghazi”) with an “infidel-enemy”, or “cruel villain” and “non-believer” or (Byronic) “Giaour”, where, in the oral literature, the Muslim Orient and the European Occident, generally, do not ar- ticulate themselves as peculiar representational
