The Discourse of Difference is a theoretical work by literary scholar, essayist, and politician Zlatko Kramarić. In this study, the author continues his in-depth research into contemporary Croatian literature and cultural history, emphasizing concepts of otherness, regionalism, identity, and aesthetic specificities within literary texts. Kramarić approaches the literary material through contemporary theoretical methodologies, analytically dissecting the ways in which cultural and social differences are shaped and communicated within the text. The central part of the work is dedicated to the analysis of regional literary identities, with a particular focus on the Slavonian literary and cultural sphere as well as the broader Central European context. The author re-examines canonical values, the role of tradition, and the relationship between the center and the periphery, demonstrating how a specific "discourse of difference" is constructed through narrative strategies. By integrating literary theory, cultural studies, and historical context, Kramarić offers a multi-layered and intellectually stimulating insight into the dynamics of literary creation. The book represents a valuable contribution to Croatian literary scholarship and is essential reading for the study of regional identities and contemporary theoretical approaches to the text.
