The paper examines the postwar concentration camp experience of the inmates
in postwar Yugoslavia as represented in the novel The nine circles of Hell, by the
Macedonian author Aleksandar Aleksiev. Through this novel, the paper aims at analyzing the Informbiro Period in Yugoslavia based on Hannah Arendt’s cog theory,
Giorgio Agamben’s concept of state of exception as well as on Foucault’s concept
of governmentality. The main objective of this analysis is to investigate the literary
representation of the subject-power relation as well as the personal responsibility of
men in the socio-political milieu
