From Post-Yugoslavia to the Female Continent. A Feminist Reading of Post-Yugoslav Literature

This text is a review of Tijana Matijevic's book, entitled From Post-Yugoslavia to the Female Continent. A Feminist Reading of Post-Yugoslav Literature (2020). I situate the book primarily in the field of post-Yugoslav studies, but I also point out how it corresponds to recent developments in certain related fields, such as memory studies. I show how the author makes a creative framework for the study of post-Yugoslav literature by bringing together the concept of ecriture feminine, writings about Yugoslavia's past and the war, and the Yugoslav (neo-) avant-gardist heritage.
