Résumé anglais The Subversive Usage of History in Ivo Andrić's Works The purpose of this paper is to reveal an aspect of Ivo Andrić's works which has been very little studied so far: the subversive potential of his novelistic philosophy. Having in mind the problematic ideological context people from ex-Yugoslavia have been living in since the latest conflict, it seemed important to me to take Andrić's works out of the different temptations of political instrumentalization and reconsider his aesthetic and ideological contribution in the light of modem literature theory. Although the spatiotemporal framework of his novels has been clearly identified (Bosnia during the Ottoman period), 'historical novel' as a traditional literary category has been proved definitely inappropriate for demonstrating the original feature of his artistic creation. By mixing some elements of factual history with popular legends and mythic tales, Andrić pushes back the frontiers of the novelistic genre and ventures into unexplored regions of the search of identity. Thus, Andrić does not try to restitute Bosnia as it was during the Ottoman period but as it could be perceived and understood by people searching for their own history.
