During my stay in Vienna I will be working on my new novel (working title: Smola) dealing with the subject of the position of contemporary intellectual human beings in the circumstances of new ideologies, identities, belonging and consciousness in virtual worlds of the new media. Furthermore how semiotics and cryptography affect people in the new cyberspace of existence, how love became a political category as well as what are the specifics of these subjects in cities (Vienna, Belgrade) that represent a chronotope of cultures where different heritages permeate.
I will be able to learn about the ongoing subjects that writers are using, the reasons for picking such, techniques they are using in writing, as well as problems they are facing in selecting the subjects and publishing materials. Also I will be in the position to see in which way Austrian literature is developing, what its potentials are, and who the important contemporary authors producing at this moment are. I expect to meet Austrian writers, to get deeper into the Austrian literature-scene and to have good talks with colleagues.
