This essay analyzes postwar drama in Bosnia, highlighting themes of social realism and antifascism.
This essay analyze postwar decade (1945-1955) drama in Bosnia and Herzegovina focusing on Bosniak playwrights of the period. It is possible to identify three creative mainstreams, namely, first that denunciate hypocrisy, decadence and alienation of prewar royal authority and people in Kingdom of Yugoslavia, second that glorify antifascist resistance and combat of Tito's partisans and third that describes transformation of contemporary Yugoslav society from conservative into progressive and future oriented country. All these mainstreams had the same dramatic form of socialrealistic drama or agitovka with already defined types and characters, reminding very much to medieval morality. Main authors writing during this decade are Rasim Filipovic, Hamza Humo and Skender Kulenovic. Their main plays are analyzed, except Skender Kulenovic's that are the subject of other essay.
