Zlatan Tunjic

Zlatan Tunjic is a Lecturer at Martin Luther University's Department of Slavic Studies since October 2021. He completed his doctorate at the same institution, focusing on Bosnian-Herzegovinian women writers in interwar Yugoslavia. Previously, he worked at Sarajevo's Museum of Literature and Theatre Arts (2013-2018) and earned a Master's in Gender Studies at the University of Sarajevo, plus a graduate degree in Yugoslav languages/literature at the University of Tuzla.

• Doctorate: "Bosnian-Herzegovinian Women Writers in Interwar Yugoslavia: Literature, Resistance, and Public Engagement" (2018)
• Master's: "Construction of the Female Subject in the Songs of Lepa Brena et al." (2013)
• Graduate Thesis: "Deconstruction of the myth and the female subject in Dubravka Ugrešić's Baba Yaga Lays an Egg" (2010)

His research focuses on Literary Studies, Feminist Theory, and Cultural Studies, with particular emphasis on Yugoslav/post-Yugoslav literature, female authorship, gender dynamics, and cultural translation. His work explores how literature interacts with political resistance, ethnonational identity, and corporeal representation.

The 15 most recent publications (2013-2025) demonstrate consistent engagement with Yugoslav cultural memory, gender performativity, and feminist resistance strategies. Key publication venues include Routledge's Made in Yugoslavia series, CEU Press's feminist history collections, and regional journals like TREĆA and Zeničke sveske.
