• Description:
  The paper is based on a comparative analysis of the novel Alkar by Dinko Šimunović and the novel Đuka Begović by Ivan Kozarac. The existing psychoanalytical analyses of Đuka Begović appear to be insufficient due to the assessment of Šima as an authoritarian father who forbids his son’s pleasure and ignoring the conflict regarding the same woman as reason for patricide. The offered Lacanian analysis of Alkar, on the other hand, fails to capture and explain all the competitive and duplicitous relationships that appear in the text. By expanding the theoreticalperspective by engaging René Girard’s mimetic model of desire, it is possible to capture all the mentioned elements. The unsuccessful initiation in Alkar results in the castration of the son, and in Đuka Begović, in patricide, which in both cases causes the sons’ self-expulsion from the social order. In Alkar, the solution is offered in the oral tradition, in the cyclic renewal of the myth, while in Đuka Begović the stabilization of the order is absent.;
  Rad se temelji na poredbenoj analizi pripovijesti Alkar Dinka Šimunovića i kratkog romana Đuka Begović Ivana Kozarca. Postojeće psihoanalitičke analize Đuke Begovića se pokazuju nedostatinima  jer automatski reproduciraju tezu o Šimi kao autoritarnom ocu koji zabranjuje sinu užitak te previđaju činjenicu da se njihov konflikt temelji na sukobu oko iste žene koji postaje uzrok patricidu. S druge strane, ponuđena lakanovska analiza Alkara ne uspijeva objasniti kompetitivne i dvojničke odnose koji se pojavljuju u tekstu. Proširenjem teorijske prespektive uključivanjem mimetičkog modela žudnje Renea Girarda omogućuje nam zahvaćanje navedenih elemenata. Neuspjela inicijacija u Alkaru rezultira kastracijom sina, a u Đuki Begoviću – patricidom, dok oboje uzrokuje sinovljev samoizgon iz društvenog poretka. U Alkaru izlaz se traži u usmenoj tradiciji, odnosno u cikličkoj obnovi mita, dok je u Đuki Begoviću odsutna bilo kakva naznaka stabilizacije poretka.
