Postokolonialna teorija obravnava veliko pomembnih tematik, vprašanje identitete
pa je ob dihotomiji moči/znanja in ob narativnih strategijah reprezentacije
ključno. Analiza literarnega besedila omogoča prepoznavanje ideoloških sprememb
v javnem diskurzu in posameznikovi zavesti, ki temelji na subjektovem jezikovnem
vedenju. Postkolonialni pristop omogoča analizo izgradnje identitete in
transformacije ter presečišče med govorečim subjektom in njegovimi različnimi
identitetami. V tem kontekstu se poezija Jurija Andruhoviča izkaže kot zanimiv
predmet obravnave. Oblikovanje subjekta in transformacijske strategije je mogoče
preveriti s pomočjo ključnega koncepta pokrajine in dislokacije. Transformacija
je prisotna v kontekstu generacijske paradigme. Poezija temelji na generaciji iz
osemdesetih let 20. stoletja in ponuja tematsko razširitev na poezijo generacije
iz devetdesetih let, usmerjena pa je v podvajanje in širjenje tematskih vsebin.
Postcolonial theory deals with many important issues and the question of identity
is a key one along with the power / knowledge dichotomy and the narrative strategies
of representation. The analysis of literary text allows to identify ideological
transformations in public discourse and individual consciousness which is based
on subject’s linguistic behavior. The postcolonial approach allows to analyze
identity construction and transformation as well as the intersection between the
speaking subject and its different identities. In this context, the poetry of Yurii
Andrukhovych is an interesting object for reflection. Subject construction and
transformation strategies can be examined through the landscape and dislocation
key concept. This transformation is vivid in the context of generational paradigm.
Based on the transition from the 1980s generation, this poetry provides subject
expansion to the 1990s generation poetry, and is oriented towards the doubling
and multiplying of subject.
