AUTOINTERTEXTUALITY IN «PAVIĆ’S PRODUCTIONS»

Reception of Pavić’s work is conducted per déjà vu principle – it is not just that the heroes, situations and motives travel from one text to another, but also fragments or entire stories can be found within the structure of larger works, all the while going through certain transformations (name changes with characters, shortening or downsizing of primary fragments, weaving them with leitmotifs etc.). Connections of “one’s own” and “one’s own” in creative opus of Milorad Pavić is shown through examples of self-citation and auto-allusions between Pavić’s poetry, prose and dramas is presented in this paper. Such autointertextuality confirms the functioning of literary reality of Pavić’s productions as conceptual entirety, so that actualisation of explicit and implicit connections between works widens the intertextual semantic field of writingreading, i.e. the intertext.
