Sažetak
The topic of the long poem Jamerika: trip (2013) by Maša Kolanović is a family trip to America, a place previously known to the female narrator only through popular Western culture. This article analyses her interpretation of the binary opposition of East and West and the position of Croatia in that context. The narrator is aware that those two worlds are not completely separated, but intertwined by many relationships such as popular culture, wars and terrorism. The opposition of American abundance and poverty causes dramatic tensions in the text, which are supported by visual collages, comic strips and newspaper clips, but also by different types of intertextuality. The postmodern parodic turn of this long poem equates all ideologies as false and indicates that cultural and political oppositions are human constructs that are imposed on everyday life.
