In postmodernism, the literary movement which Pekić's oeuvre belongs to in terms of poetic principles, intertextual dialogue is very active and dominant. We argue that Orwell's novel serves as a proto-text or an inspiration for Pekić in constructing his own narrative. This is particularly reflected in the conceptual organization of key elements of the narrative structure such as chronotope and characters. The dominant spatial structure taken over from Orwell is the Golden Country, a pasture where all important events in the novel take place. Similarly, the prominent temporal determinant, i.e. the year 1999, becomes a symbol just as it is the case with 1984. As regards the constructs of the plot, i.e. the characters, it is proposed that Pekić's Arno and the mole emerge as counterparts to Orwell's Winston and O'Brien. The chronotope of meeting, along with the resonant sentences "We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness" and "We shall meet when flowers bloom again", is a constant in both narrative structures. Regarding personality traits, Pekić's last man in the world, i.e. Arno, is well-matched with Winston, Orwell's last man. Both are modelled as aloof, lonely in their lives and ideas, and as individuals juxtaposed with the group. Furthermore, Pekić treats the motifs of love, history and rats similarly to the way Orwell does. Love fails to ensure the survival of humankind, historical facts are misrepresented, while the motif of rats metaphorically represents danger in both textsPrispevek preučuje medbesedilna razmerja med distopičnima romanoma - antropološko pripovedjo Borislava Pekića z naslovom 1999 in romanom 1984 Georgea Orwella. V postmodernizmu, literarnem gibanju, ki mu po svojih poetičnih načelih pripada Pekićevo delo, je medbesedilni dialog zelo dejaven in dominanten. Zagovarjamo tezo, da najde Pekić v Orwellovem romanu prototekst oziroma navdih za izgradnjo lastne pripovedi. To se še posebej odraža v konceptualni organizaciji ključnih elementov pripovedne strukture, kot so kronotop in literarni liki. Prevladujoča prostorska struktura, ki jo avtor povzema po Orwellu, je Zlata dežela, pašniki, kjer se odvijejo vsi pomembni dogodki v romanu. Leto 1999 postane kot pomembna časovna determinanta simbol, podobno kot se je zgodilo z letom 1984. Kar zadeva sestavne elemente zapleta, torej like, nastopata po nekaterih interpretacijah Pekićeva Arno in krt kot vzporednici Orwellovih Winstona in O'Briena. Kronotop srečanja, skupaj s sorodnima stavkoma "Srečala se bova tam, kjer ni teme" in "Srečala se bova, ko bodo zopet cvetele rože", je stalnica v obeh pripovednih strukturah. S svojimi osebnostnimi potezami se Arno, Pekićev zadnji človek na svetu, dobro prilega Winstonu, Orwellovemu zadnjemu človeku. Oba lika sta vzpostavljena kot vzvišena, osamljena v življenju in idejah in kot skupini protipostavljena posameznika. Poleg tega Pekić obravnava motive ljubezni, zgodovine in podgan podobno kot Orwell. Ljubezen človeštvu ne zmore zagotoviti preživetja, zgodovinska dejstva so potvorjena, metaforični podganji motiv pa v obeh besedilih predstavlja nevarnostTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
