Pijadego) AB -   Since its publication in 1921, David S. Pijade’s Strast (The Passion)  has been classified as a naturalist novel, contrary to its themes: passion as subordinated to the fatalism of nature: Eros and Thanatos, the hedonistic experience of an ‚intense moment’, the theme of sacred lesbian love. The article indicates that this classification is a mistake stemming from the lack of the decadent movement in Serbia, either as a literary current, or a worldview. A new reading proposed in this article calls for a revision of persistent views about the shape of Serbian modernism in the early twentieth century.   VL - 2017 IS - Volume 12, Issue 3 PY - 2018 SN - 1897-3035 C1 - 2084-3933 SP - 223 EP - 233 DO - 10.4467/20843933ST.17.018.7584 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studia-litteraria-uic/article/pokonac-epidemie-czyli-o-dekadentyzmie-w-literaturze-serbskiej-na-przykladzie-powiesci-strast-davida-s-pijadego KW - Naturalism KW - Decadence KW - Eros and Thanatos KW - femme fatale KW - homoeroticism KW - Serbian literature of the early twentieth century.
