collective memory

This research presents some ideas concerning the new aspects of the national spirit, the relation between person and people and also the potentialities at the figurative language within Pencho Slaveikov’s poem “Song of Blood”. The rewrite of the familiar, in literature and history as figures and events, goes beyond the usual insert to common discourse 142or ordinary remake. Pencho Slaveikov himself is a founder of discourse – with new problems and decisions, in the center of which stays a different idea of the Human. The sources of the renovation within “Song of Blood” lead to Plato’s metaphysical foundation of the world and Aris- totle’s concept of potential and they are included in the new spirit of the Individualism.
