文摘The paper is actually a literary research on (re)constructing cultural image of post-yugoslavian society, formed through literary sources, i.e., poetry.

The poetry of mentioned authors is used as a provisory example in order to indicate that post-war period (as well as postmodern time) changes the perception of identity, from nationally and politically oriented structure to individual and subversive, conventions-free comprehension of Oneself.
