Milica Pasula

Milica Pasula serves as Associate Professor at the Department of German Studies, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, where she has advanced from Teaching Associate (2007) through Assistant Professor ranks (2009, 2014) to her current position since 2019. Her career demonstrates deep institutional commitment and scholarly progression within Serbian-German philological studies.

Her academic credentials include:

• Diploma in German Studies, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad (2007)
• Master's degree in German Studies (2009), thesis: "Das Kindesmörderin-Motiv in der Sturm-und-Drang-Lyrik"
• Doctorate in Philological Sciences (2014), dissertation: "Analysis and Interpretation of the Novel 'Grethen' by Rut Berger"

Professor Pasula's research centers on 18th-19th century German literature with emphasis on Sturm und Drang and Romanticism, extending to contemporary German novels. Her methodological framework integrates literary theory—particularly genre theory and narratology—with cross-cultural analysis. A distinctive thread throughout her work examines Serbian reception and translation of German literary works, revealing complex cultural transfer mechanisms. She also contributes to linguistic scholarship through contrastive phraseology studies between German and Serbian.

Her publication trajectory demonstrates consistent evolution from historical literary analysis toward contemporary interdisciplinary approaches. Recent works increasingly focus on Serbian translations of German classics (Kleist, Goethe) while maintaining rigorous engagement with narratological structures. The 2024 publications indicate active expansion into academic murder mystery genres and postcolonial literary analysis, reflecting both continuity with her German literary expertise and innovative methodological diversification.
