Teka 9 — tekstovi/kritika
A literary journal exploring free and metrical verse, Mallarmé’s poetics and Eliot’s criticism, alongside poetry, prose and reviews of contemporary literature.
Published in summer 1975, issue nine of Teka brings together literary theory, criticism and contemporary writing. Questions of poetic language, verse and interpretation connect contributions by Croatian and other Yugoslav authors with translations of influential European writers.
Pavao Pavličić examines free and metrical verse in modern Croatian poetry, while Stéphane Mallarmé is represented by Crisis in Verse. Branko Aleksić contributes Sveti Gral, and Miroslav Beker considers Eliot’s criticism in a new context. Further theoretical contributions include Nikola Milićević on verse, Branimir Donat on identity and Dalibor Cvitan on the aesthetics of inspiration and creation.
The issue also features poetry by Zvonimir Mrkonjić, prose by Tonko Maroević and contributions by Vesna Parun, Nada Pintarić, Ljubomir Stefanović and others. Reviews range across literature and the arts, addressing subjects from Croatian literary history and world civilisations to Apollinaire, Bulgakov, Barthes and Derrida.
Teka 9 offers a record of literary debate in the mid-1970s, particularly the interaction between modern poetry, critical methods and emerging theoretical interests. It will appeal to literary scholars and collectors of Croatian cultural journals.
