This study of contemporary literature from the former Yugoslavia (Post-Yugoslavia) follows the ways in which the feminist writing of gender, body, sexuality, and social and cultural hierarchies brings to light the past of socialist Yugoslavia, its cultural and literary itineraries and its dissolution in the Yugoslav wars. The analysis also focuses on the particularities of different feminist writings, together with their picturing of possible futures. The title of the book suggests an attempt to interpret post-Yugoslav literature as feminist writing, but also a process of conceptualizing a post-Yugoslav literary field, in this study represented by contemporary fiction from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.

Tijana Matijevic (PhD), is independent researcher currently teaching post-Yugoslav literature, culture, and languages at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena and the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. Her research focuses on the feminist writing and the continuities between the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav literatures.

»Ein Buch voller detaillierter Beschreibungen und Analysen, welche von hoher Relevanz für den Umgang Post-Jugoslawiens mit der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft sind. Eine aufschlussreiche Lektüre für Menschen, denen es nicht um leichte und vorgefertigte Antworten geht.« Jasen Philipps, www.kritisch-lesen.de, 13.04.2021
