About
Jump to
Živana Antonijević or Blind Živana (she was probably born in the 1770s and died in Zemun in 1828) was Serbian storyteller, female gusle player (Serbian: guslar) and one of the most important sources for Serbian epic poetry recorded by Vuk Karadžić. Vuk would always distinguish between пјевачи ствараоци (pjevači stvaraoci) (to wit: singers composers) and пјевачи преносиоци (pjevači prenosioci) (singers who merely repeated what they had heard before). Živana Antonijević, along with three other female gusle players and composers, Jeca, Slepa Stepanija, and another unnamed woman, were in the creative category.
