How Krleza unmasks reality, or how "even moonlight can be an outlook on life"

U clanku tematiziram Krlezina demaskiranja mentaliteta, odnosno pogleda na svijet, i to preko figure faustovskoga Doktora iz romana Na rubu pameti (1938.), koji dakako kao autorov alter ego (jedan od njegovih alter ega) ne posjeduje pogled na svijet, jer za njega, ironijski, "i mjesecina moze biti pogled na svijet". Time je uspostavljena negativnokvalitativna atribucija mentaliteta (pogleda na svijet koji plazi/e "kao zmijurine po prasumama"), za razliku od autonomnoga predocavanja i iskustva zivota. Odnosno, Krlezinim odredenjem iz 1971. godine: "Mentaliteti su ti koji razdvajaju ljude i narode, a to nam dokazuju svi gradanski ratovi unutar jednog jedinstvenog jezicnog podrucja." U drugome dijelu rada kontrapunkt mentaliteta i autonomije promatram na dvama odabranim recentnim primjerima - jednom iz akcionisticke/alterglobalisticke prakse, a drugom sto se tice drzavnoga ceremonijala - povodom ulaska RH u EU.//This article deals with how Krleza unmasks mentality, or the outlook on life, through the character of the Faustian Doctor in his novel On the Edge of Reason (1938), who, as the author's alter ego (one of his alter egos) has no outlook on life of his own, because for him, ironically, "even the moonlight can be an outlook on life". This negates the attribution of mentality (an outlook on life which "slithers like serpents through the jungle"), which is in opposition to an autonomous way of representing and experiencing life. Or, to use Krleza's own words from 1971: "It is mentalities that divide people and nations, as seen from all the civil wars waged within a single united linguistic area". In the second part of the article, I analyze the opposition between mentality and autonomy on 2 recent examples - one from the actionist/alter-globalist practice, and the other being the state ceremony on the occasion of Croatia's accession to the European Union.
