o:34217 Игра историје и сећања у филмским текстовима Душана Ковачевића The interplay of history and remembrance Dušan Kovacević’s screenplays sr Summary This paper revolves around the analysis of the relationship between history and remembrance in movies based on screenplays by Dušan Kovačević, whose narratives (when arranged carefully) form a chronology of events in our region – from the Great War, World War II and the wars fought in the 1990’s to the events of October 5th 2000. The great tetralogy (St. George Kills the Dragon, Who’s Singing Over There?, Underground and The Professional) and the discreet trilogy (Balkan Spy, The Gathering Place and The Tragic Burlesque) precisely outline the historical timeline of Yugoslavia, from its inception to its disappearance, while the linear historical time is constantly co-present with and written into the circular mythical time. Statements on the nation and its subversion as a binding and interceding concept of history and remembrance, as well as on the characters and events happening in the infinite mythical present are precisely stated in the various features (related primarily to the genre and, to a lesser degree, to style) of the thematically consistent opus. The tense relationship between the violent history and remembrance becomes a rich historical memory marked with political and ideological criticism, subversion and commentary, as well as with the hypertrophied characters that remain together in the sphere of the (origin) myth and its time.
