The Burlesque Deconstruction of Epic-patriarchal Stereotypes on the Fate of Power and the Heroical Identity in Derviš Sušić’s Drama “Teferič”

Elmir Spahić

Abstract


In the drama Teferič, as a result of the use of the genre elements of burlesque and the ideological startingpoints of Marxist humanism, Derviš Sušić deconstructs the rooted epic-patriarchal stereotypes of thefate of power as a timeless repressive force that survives due to the subservient consciousness of the oppressed classes. At the same time, according to the Marxist odium towards the class foundations of feudal chivalry, the author demystifies the epic heroic identity, bringing an end to the deepisation of Bosniak hero Đerzelez (started by Andric), who has been deprived of all attributes of honor and morals in this drama.
