The implementation of all major renovations in Serbian literature, beginning with the medieval time (at the time of Nemanjić), up to those taking place at the end of the XX century (in postmodernity), was a kind of struggle against the existing cultural patterns. This struggle represented a kind of dispute and, although it sometimes possessed an idea of certain continuity of generations, in certain periods this dispute became “militant” and was prone to a total rejection of all previous and extraneous phenomena. The main idea of this work is better illustrated by the fact that literature cannot concentrate on winning battles, in other words, all victories in literature are more of a functional character (as the nature of the language of art), thus, in the current context, we place the term “war” between quotation marks.
