Title: Arhetip pusto ostrvo i 'postapokaliptična' fikcija - Put Kormaka Makartija
Authors: Bubanja, Nikola
Issue Date: 2009
Abstract: The paper proposes that the global popularity of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe has transmogrified it into a modern myth, an archetype of its kind. This archetype, it is shown, is a core element of the so called post-apocalyptic narratives. The work than investigates the the archetype's role in Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road and concludes that, by transcending the by and large conventional approaches of post-apocalyptic fiction McCarthy manages to reinvigorate the characteristic appeal of the archetype as well as to preserve the aesthetic integrity of his prose.
