Abstract
According to Boris A. Novak (2016), haiku has become one of the most popular poetic forms in the world (45). The article elucidates the initial reception and later development of this micro-poetic form in the former Yugoslav republics, particularly in Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia. Analyzing some representative poems, with particular attention to understatement as one of the vital aesthetic features of haiku, the article demonstrates that it responds to local socio-political and cultural realities and has the potential to make a distinctive contribution to contemporary public life and interpersonal relations.
Boris A. Novak(2016)认为,俳句已经成为世界上最流行的诗歌形式之一(45)。本文阐明了这种微诗形式在前南斯拉夫各共和国,特别是在斯洛文尼亚、塞尔维亚和克罗地亚的最初接受和后来的发展。文章分析了一些具有代表性的俳句诗歌,并特别注意轻描淡写作为俳句的重要美学特征之一,论证了俳句对当地社会政治和文化现实的回应,并有可能对当代公共生活和人际关系做出独特的贡献。
