Subject of this research is literary creation of Ivana Vanja Raduš (Vinkovci, 1906 – Zagreb, 1975), a prominent Croatian sculptor and a visual artist. His literary work has remained mostly in manuscripts, so it is considered to be a blind spot of Croatian literary corpus. This thesis will be based on researching of public-procurable collections and manuscripts, provided from Fond Radauš which is found in State Archives in Vukovar of Archives Collecting Center Vinkovci. The main goal of research is to position this literary creation by corpus and poetics. This will be achieved by comparing period typologies of Croatian 20th Century literature. This thesis analyzes basic poetic-poetry determinants of literary opus, exuding their spiritual etymons – history, violence and inheritance, and establishes their contact with postmodern way of thinking, especially on instances of history deconstruction, utopianism, anti-utopianism and apocalyptic and archeomythical layering of text. Set thesis about opus positioning is proved by comparing poetry of 1960s and 1970s. Radauš’s literary opus classifies as transitional between ontological and gnosiological matrix, and as well as adherent to ontological matrix. Thesis on Radauš’s proto-postmodernist poetry is proved by corroboration of basic determinants of postmodern and postmodernist poetry. Analysis is performed on the weakness of lyrical subject and on non-centered characteristic of it, skepticism in ideologies, lack of trust in great narrations, intertextuality, intermediality, contact with semiotic poetry and luddism, visuality and graphism of verses. Finally, Radauš’s poetry is positioned as affiliated to Slavonian part of Croatian literature corpus and more closer, to literature of Šokci. This statement is verified by the use of the basic Panonian denotations of texts and dialects.
