Анотація

The latest trends in contemporary Serbian prose are discussed in the article on the basis of the anthologies of the so-called "young authors" (a temporary label, which is usually used when a new generation of writers enters the literary scene, and it is not associated with specific poetics, but it strives to revise the existing poetics). Generation poetics in contemporary Serbian literature has rarely been the subject of a special study, and it is especially topical for investigating of the Serbian prose of the early 21^st century, which is still waiting for a theoretical, historical and literary interpretation. In this paper, the anthologies of Serbian "young prose" published in the 2000s are treated as landmarks of generation poetics which correlates with the context of previous generations of Serbian literature.

Keywords: literary generation, poetics, postpostmodernism, Serbian literature, 21^st -century literature.
