About Jasna Horvat on Croatian literature portal
Jasna Horvat is a Croatian writer, theorist of culture and an full professor at the Faculty of Economy in Osijek, the winner of the Josip Juraj Strossmayer Award from the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences for 2011...
Jasna Horvat is a Croatian writer, cultural theorist and an assistant professor at the Faculty of Economy in Osijek, the winner of the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences Award for 2011. Jasna Horvat lives and works in Osijek, the town where she was born in 1966. Her scientific profession is concentrated in the field of quantitative methods in economics and she works as the full-time professor at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek.
For almost the entire decade that she has been on the literary scene, Jasna Horvat’s texts have been preoccupied with stories about Croatian cultural heritage and it's recognition outside its national boundaries. This is so when she writes for both children and for adults. Lastly, this is also the case when she appears as a scientist and a university professor, who has successfully stepped out of her basic profession of economist, and continues to do so, into the area of humanistic sciences.
Her literary work as a whole can be characterized as a far-reaching and far-sighted project of discovering, preserving and affirmation of Croatian heritage through the stories of its mythology, folk tales, the beginnings of literacy, national and homeland history incorporated into the context of the European and world history, science, art in all of its forms, architecture – therefore, all the objects which form the foundations of a culture.
„Through variously directed interdisciplinary and intermediary strategies, the four conceptual novels by the author Horvat are recognized as complex literary and scientific hypertexts, untypical novel-projects, with peculiar cybernetic codes of their organization and internal functioning. As such, they represent a phenomenon which is a staple in deliberating on the contemporary novel of the post-material Internet age and its hypothetical future.” (Kos-Lajtman: Literary and scientific hypertext of Jasna Horvat)
“In the novels of Croatian contemporary writer Jasna Horvat – Az (2009), Bizarij (2009), Auron (2011), Vilikon (2012) – we recognize Oulipian perspective, and the novelist’s modifications of the same. This is primarily seen in the fact that the four listed novels are hybrids (a sort of novels-projects), with iconic conceptualization, thus clearly building and expanding Oulip’s fundamental criteria. Beside these iconic concepts, in these novels we have under scrutiny some distinctive literary permutations and similar procedures (mostly generated from mathematics), as we compare them with similar Oulipian discourses. Compatibility of basic intentions between the French literary group, established in 1960 and the discourse of this contemporary author is seen as a phenomenon of conscious upgrade in similar settings of conceptual approach to literary text based primarily on mathematical principles. This is why the novels of Jasna Horvat, currently an isolated phenomenon in the context of Croatian narrative literature, are identified as carriers and moderators of post-Oulipian approach.“
(Kos-Lajtman, Buljubašić: Novels of Jasna Horvat as post-oulipian narratives)
Jasna Horvat started to write her first children's book in the nineteen nineties, while she was collaborating with Children's Theater named "Branko Mihaljević" located in Osijek.
As the result of that collaboration a book of two texts in a dramatized manner was published:"The Lost Fairy" ("Izgubljena Vila", published in Croatia by Matica hrvatska 2002).
After that followed "Gemfeather's Sayings" ("Alemperkina kazivanja"), published in Croatia by Ljevak, 2005). In 2008 co-authored with Irena Vrkljan "A Letter in the Letter" was published in Croatia by Ljevak as well.
During the year 2001 the children's magazine "Smib" publishes her interpretation of fairies, mythological creatures of pre-Christian pantheon.
Osijek Children's Theater "Branko Mihaljević" had been staging twice theatrical plays based on her dramatizations: "On the Sun's Pathway"(in the season 1999/2000) and "Follow in Svevid's Footsteps"(in the season 2003/2004).
Jasna Horvat lives and works in Osijek, the town where she was born in 1966. Her profession is in the field of quantitative methods in economics and she works as the full-time professor at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek.
