In the 1990s Dubravka Ugrešić initiated her ever-continuing journey which may serve as a pretext to analyse the travels characteristic of the break of centuries, undertaken against the background of political transformations in Eastern Europe and the global changes of contemporary culture. The article attempts to outline the writer's emotions brought on by her "expulsion" (her emigration from Croatia), which she expresses in essays and complex novels that witness the postmodern exhaustion of the entitative character. The observations gathered show that the traditional framework of travel discourse is often too narrow to hold the multidimensional image of the dramatic escape, the particular expulsion, and the never-ending wandering.

Human body is the subject of pression exerted by the authority and the social order. Both, male and female bodies experience the violence in their everyday life, however female bodies are always related and subjected to the male bodies. They act as mothers, lovers or wives devoted to their men and family life. For the so-called “Yogoman” role of woman was always associated with the sex organs (frequently used smoked from the cunt meant “nothing”). However, we can find attempts to negate the described relation in the new Croatian prose, in novels and essays written by female authors. It is possible to change traditional cliché through parody of male protagonists and depriving them of typical attributes. Project of non-male-centric femininity is realized from early eighties in the prose and essays written by Slavenka Drakulić and Dubravka Ugrešić and Vedrana Rudan who started her literary career in the nineties.
