Abstract

The paper Škorpion by Josip Kulundžić in the context of Croatian expressionism will present a dramatic text Škorpion in the context of Croatian expressionism. Along with the dramatic text Ponoć , it is considered to be Kulundžić’s most significant dramatic work in terms of aesthetics and quality. Škorpion witnesses a strong expressionist genre and stylistic dramatic determination, while on the other hand it continues to implement the author’s, also specific, expressionist poetic framework. An overview of the most important features and characteristics of Croatian expressionism, the origin and duration of expressionist poetics within the corpus of Croatian literature, and the fundamental characteristics and basic elements of Croatian dramatic expressionism will be presented. Expressionist poetics dominated Croatian literary creativity until the mid-twen-ties of the 20th century and remained present until the end of that decade and in that period Josip Kulundžić was the most fruitfull expressionistic writer. The paper will provide a brief overview of the poetic principles of dramatic writing of Josip Kulundžić as well as the most important principles of his second phase of expressionist production.
