(Re)constructing Balkan Identities through Popular Music

(Re)konstrukcija balkanskih identiteta kroz popularnu glazbu

Author(s): Marin Cvitanović / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 4/2009

Keywords: Balkan; identity; geography of music; balkanization; turbo-folk

The paper deals with the reproduction of stereotypes about the Balkans in the popular music of ex-Yugoslavia. During the last two decades, over a hundred songs in the Serbian and Croatian languages have been released, specifically mentioning the term Balkan and using it as a metaphor – to evoke and explain the atmosphere of war, poverty, conflict and passion, beauty, love and pride. Based on the analysis of these texts and the frequency of appearance of the themes and motifs, four distinct discourses can be identified: 1. the Balkans as an area of wars and conflicts, 2. the Balkans as an area of joy, passion and fatalism, 3. the primitive and aggressive “male” Balkans vs. the beautiful, proud and resistant “female” Balkans, and 4. the Balkans as Europe’s “Other”. The results show that, despite the inherent fluidity and the unclearness of the very definition of the Balkans and its spatial coverage (and therefore the possibility of distancing oneself from it), mostly negative stereotypes about the Balkans are being reproduced. They are not questioned in that process, but accepted and affirmed as a part of one’s own identity.

Structural and semantic features of the phrases in the inscriptions on tombstones

Strukturna i semantička obilježja frazema natpisa stećaka

Author(s): Mehmed Kardaš,Alisa Mahmutović / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 41/2014

Keywords: bosansko i humsko mramorje; srednjovjekovna pismenost; frazemi; tekst; epitaf; lapidarni žanr; koncept makrokanoničnosti; intertekstualnost.

Predmet ovog istraživanja su frazemi natpisa stećaka. Iako postoji mnogo značajnih i vrijednih radova koji se bave jezikom ovih natpisa, još uvijek nema onih kojih se bave praktičnim i teorijskim aspektima frazeologije u ovom tipu teksta. Teorijsko polazište u istraživanju bit će, prije svega, dosadašnja historijska literatura, s obzirom na to da je bosansko i humsko mramorje važan dio kulturnog naslijeđa, a zatim i postojeća frazeološka literatura, kao i literatura iz oblasti lingvistike teksta, jer se funkcija frazema analizira u kontekstu njihove pozicije u tekstu natpisa. Drugim riječima, ovdje se polazi od natpisa kao teksta, a frazem se istražuje sa aspekta njegove pozicije u strukturi teksta, njegove funkcije i značenja. I to je glavni cilj istraživanja. Građa je ekscerpirana iz zbornika Marka Vege. U njima je identifi kovano trinaest frazema različitih strukturnih karakteristika i različitog porijekla. Jedni su uvedeni mehanizmom intertekstualnosti – premještanjem iz drugog teksta i konteksta, a drugi su, moguće, nastali frazeologizacijom slobodnih veza riječi.

The Celebration of a Violent Past: About Some Local Sources of the Recent War in Bosnia-Herzegovina

The Celebration of a Violent Past: About Some Local Sources of the Recent War in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Author(s): Mart Bax / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2000

Keywords: political anthropology; Bosnia-Herzegovina; the immediate vicinity of mass graves; former Yugoslavia

Bosnia-Herzegovina is the site of a striking number of World War II monuments erected on or in the immediate vicinity of mass graves. These memorials are bones of contention and generate violent inter--ethnic animosity. This article gives an extensive description of the trials and tribulations of one of these war monuments and the Serb and Croat communities involved. It addresses an aspect of ethnic cleansing that has hitherto been the focus of very little research, i.e. the destruction of mass graves. It is hypothesized that mass graves and the related commemorative ceremonies constitute a key to understanding the stagnating ethnic identification and the recent revival of war violence in rural Bosnia-Herzegovina. The article advocates a more systematic inquiry into the local sources of the war in this part of the former Yugoslavia.

Jesus Christ in the 20th Century Literature

Isus Krist u književnosti XX. stoljeća

Author(s): Željko Ivanković / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 15/2011

Književnost tako počinje otvarati prostor nekoj novoj “kristologiji”. Književnost na neki način otvara prostore u novo, budući da je dogmatska (religijska) ortodoksija sterilizirala teološku misao, osobito u katoličkom varijetetu kršćanstva. (Da o pravoslavlju ovdje i ne govorimo!) Treba li podsjećati da je za to vrijeme protestantska teološka misao već daleko iskoračila u prostore novoga čitanja Biblije, novog razumijevanja kršćanstva i njegove institucionalne strukturiranosti

Croatian Literature in BH in Relation to the Totality of Croatian Literature and Totality of (Possible) BH Literature

Hrvatska književnost u BiH prema cjelini hrvatske književnosti i cjelini (moguće) bh. književnosti

Author(s): Željko Ivanković / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 14/2010

Stvar se (re)integracije hrvatske književnosti, kako rekosmo, počela postupno mijenjati s tzv. prvim demokratskim izborima, odnosno s početkom raspada i definitivnim povijesnim nestankom Jugoslavije. Dakle i s definitivnom razgradnjom, dezintegracijom bosanskohercegovačke književnosti, ma što to danas, naknadno odčitavano, značilo. Ne želim vjerovati kako je prvo (integracija hrvatske književnosti) bilo moguće tek naporedo s drugim (dezintegracija bh. književnosti), jer ovdje ne važi ona metafora “dok jednom ne smrkne, drugom ne svane”, budući da ta dva procesa nisu nužno uvjetovana

HERZEGOVINIAN DUOLOGY BY IVAN SOPTA

SOPTINA HERCEGOVAČKA DUOLOGIJA

Author(s): Mirna Brkić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 10/2010

Keywords: Sopta; The Days of Misery and Hunger; The Unquiet Peace; World War I; Herzegovina; authentic testimony

The paper deals with the two novels of the Herzegovinian duology by Ivan Sopta – The Days of Misery and Hunger (1937) and The Unquiet Peace (1940). The novels string the events in an out-of-the-way, poor village of Sopta’s native Herzegovina during and after World War I. Presenting the tribulations and the final downfall of several Herzegovinian families, Sopta realistically conjured up all the life misery of the then Herzegovina in which life had always been an eternal struggle both with earthly and heavenly forces for bare existence, for a place under the sun, and for a crumb of freedom. The characters of Sopta’s both novels are in a state of mind of restless peace, and there is no deliverance and no happy end for them. These novels written in a realistic manner, interwoven with oral literature as well, also function as an authentic testimony about one of the most difficult periods of the recent Croatian, Herzegovinian history, speaking sincerely and bluntly about the struggle for survival.

SOME DETERMINANTS OF THE PERCEPTION OF WORK–FAMILY CONFLICT: A DYADIC APPROACH

SOME DETERMINANTS OF THE PERCEPTION OF WORK–FAMILY CONFLICT: A DYADIC APPROACH

Author(s): Ana Šimunić,Maja Pandža,Ljiljana Gregov / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: work–family conflict; gender role attitudes; striving for achievement; social support; quality of family functioning

The general aim of this study was to examine the contribution of perceived social support from family, the quality of family function-ing, attitudes about marital roles, and striving for achievement to the perceived conflict between work and family roles by using a dyadic approach. Namely, the interaction of spouses’ perceptions was taken into account (actor and partner effects) in predicting work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts. This study was con-ducted on a sample of 176 employed married couples in the ter-ritory of central and western Herzegovina and central Dalmatia. Self-assessment questionnaires were used. In women, social support from family was a significant predictor for both examined types of work–family conflicts, and partner effects were greater than actor effects, especially for family-to-work conflict. Both part-ners’ striving for achievement was a positive predictor of family-to-work conflict in women, while there was only a contribution of the actor striving for achievement to both types of work–family conflict in men. In men, the only partner effect was obtained in the relationship between social support from family and family-to-work conflict. In general, the results indicated that the assess-ments of male spouses were more related to their wife’s work–family conflict than vice versa, and that these variables were more related to family-to-work conflict than to work-to-family conflict.

INCIPITS READINGS FROM THE MATTHEW'S GOSPEL IN THE CROAT GLAGOLITIC BREVIARIES

INCIPITY ČTENÍ Z MATOUŠOVA EVANGELIA V CHORVATSKOHLAHOLSKÝCH BREVIÁŘÍCH

Author(s): Petra Stankovska / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 14/2014

Keywords: Matthew's Gospel; Old Church Slavonic translation; breviary

This paper analyzes the text of Matthew's Gospel as it is present in Croatian glagolitic medieval breviaries in form of incipits of Gospel readings. Whole readings are contained in the Missal. The Gospel text from Croatian glagolitic breviaries and missals are of the same primary textological source, so that while looking for the original slavic text we have to study them together. Based on a comparison with the oldest Old Church Slavonic translation of the Gospel (by the Aleksejev´s edition) we conclude that the Old Church Slavonic translation, very likely in it´s Preslav redaction, was used during the process of making up the Croat glagolitic liturgical books - missal and breviary.

POETICS OF TRAVELING IN ANTUN GUSTAV MATOŠ’S LITERARY OEUVRE

POETIKA PUTOVANJA U DJELU ANTUNA GUSTAVA MATOŠA

Author(s): Saša D. Šmulja / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian / Issue: 25/2018

Keywords: Antun Gustav Matoš; travelogue; feuilleton; imagology; flâneur; freedom;

This paper deals with the fact that Matoš spent nearly half of his creative life in exile, in numerous, often anxious encounters with the new life conditions in foreign countries and cultures, encounters with nuances of “different” in literatures and cultures from which Matoš derived his knowledge and experience. Regarding the fact that Matoš often wrote observing and percieving the other with the eyes of an “eternal stranger”, emigrant and newcomer, flâneur and traveler, we decided to apply the imagological approach to the aspects of Matoš’s interaction with French, Italian and Serbian cultures, respectively. We were determined to conduct this research from the perspective of comparative imagology, dealing with the delicate “consequences” of the Matoš’s life abroad, primarily in the context of aforementioned cultures that determined him artistically and intellectually.

The Demographic Features of the Bjelovar–Bilogora County in the Period Between Censuses 1991–2001 – the Consequences of the War

Demografska obilježja Bjelovarsko-bilogorske županije u međupopisnom razdoblju 1991. - 2001. godine nastala kao posljedica ratnih zbivanja

Author(s): Marin Sabolović,Goran Vuković / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 8/2014

Keywords: Homeland War; demographic features; census; Bjelovar–Bilogora County;

The last census in the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia was conducted mid 1991, and the “critical moment” of establishing the state took place on 31st March 1991. The results of this census demonstrate the pre-war demographic features present within the transitional administrative and territorial division, which was confirmed by the later introduced, and partly changed, county organisation of the Republic of Croatia (in 1992). The period between censuses was marked by the aggression on the Republic of Croatia and the occupation of a part of its territory. The result thereof was a changed population structure, which became evident in the 2001 census data; this was the first post-war census conducted in Croatia. Further demographic oscillations occurred as a result of the operations by which – in the wider territory of north-western Croatia – the temporarily occupied parts thereof, primarily the Bilogora area, were liberated; due to the non-efficient international peacekeeping forces, preconditions for the continuance of the liberation of the occupied territory, which were realised in the 1995 operations, had been created. The objective of this paper is to present – based on the cartographic presentations drafted by using the Geographic Information System, as well as by the means of the cartographic visualisation methods and the statistical data analysis methods based on two censuses – the special arrangement and the interdependence between the demographic features of the population in the Bjelovar–Bilogora County and the Great-Serbian aggression together with the effects thereof on the demographic situation following the end of the Homeland War.

Working memory in different stages of menstrual cycle

Radno pamćenje u različitim fazama menstrualnog ciklusa

Author(s): Ana Vujica,Maida Koso-Drljević,Ratko Đokić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 5/2019

Keywords: menstrual cycle; estrogen; working memory;

Aim of the study was testing whether natural fluctuations of estrogen levels during regular menstrual cycle haves dissociative effects at verbal and spatial measures of working memory (WM). Specifically, it was tested whether, in comparison to menstrual phase which is characterized by low levels of estrogen, heightened levels of estrogen during late follicular phase facilitates performance at verbal and inhibits performance at spatial WM span task. 31 female psychology student participated in the study. Within two-way repeated measures analysis of variance, the only effect on WM span that approached conventional level of significance was interaction between menstrual phase and type of WM span task (p = .06). Compared to the menstrual phase, (assumed) higher levels of estrogen during the late follicular phase improved the scores at verbal and lowered the scores at spatial WM span task; both of these two effects were small (in terms of Cohen’s d) and insignificant. The results are discussed within the context of the executive attention concept of WM.

Metric characteristics of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale among adolescents

Metrijske karakteristike Rosenbergove skale samopoštovanja kod mlađih i starijih adolescenata

Author(s): Đenita Tuce,Nina Hadžiahmetović,Jadranka Kolenović-Đapo,Indira Fako / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 5/2019

Keywords: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale; metric characteristics; confirmatory models;

The aim of the research was to assess reliability and validity of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) on samples of younger and older adolescents. Participants were 389 students (211 university students and 178 primary school students). The average age of students and primary school students was 22.16 (SD=1.36) and 12.39 (SD= .95), respectively. Principal component analysis singled out two factors that accounted for 61 % (students) and 48 % (school students) of the global self-esteem variance. A predetermined one-factor solution explained 50 % (students) and 34 % (schools students) of the global self-esteem variance. Cronbach's alpha was .88 and .77 in the student and the primary school sample, respectively. The global self-esteem model on primary school students had the best fit, after 11 year olds were left out (χ2(27)= .979, p= .494; GFI= .964; RMR= .047; RMSEA= .000). The RSES criterion validity was tested based on correlations with parental acceptance-rejection, friendship quality, and peer attachment (students), and on correlations with the Big Five traits (school students). Convergent validity with the Coopersmith self-esteem inventory was also tested on younger adolescent sample. The results show that RSES has good metric characteristics and it can be applied as the global self-esteem measure in further research.

INSIGHT INTO STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF TEACHING: CASE OF ECONOMIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

INSIGHT INTO STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF TEACHING: CASE OF ECONOMIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Author(s): Andrea Arbula Blecich,Vinko Zaninović / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: student evaluation of teaching; ordinal logistic regression; economic higher education institution;

The aim of this paper is to analyse students’ perceptions of teaching from three different perspectives: students’ interest, teacher and course assessment. We use ordinal logistic model to quantify the effects of grade, pass rate and class size on results of evaluation of undergraduate and graduate courses held during the summer and winter semesters in the academic year 2016/2017. The data were collected using a standardised online questionnaire. Research results indicate that on the observed economic HEI, both teacher and course assessment is positively and significantly affected by student’s achieved grade, and by class size. Moreover, we find large and significant difference between students’ interest in study programmes delivered in Croatian and those delivered in English. Students enrolled in English study programme value pass rate over grade, as opposed to students enrolled in Croatian study programme. We attribute this to the different motivation of students, that is, students enrolled in English programme are more prone to participation in student mobility programmes.

Should Monsters, Mutants, and Ghosts Vote? Monstrous Croatian Lyric and the Principle of Democratic Equality).

Trebaju li čudovišta, mutanti i utvare glasati? Monstruozna hrvatska lirika i načelo demokratske jednakosti

Author(s): Tvrtko Vuković / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 17/2019

Keywords: Croatian Lyric; performativity; monstrosity; humanity; democracy

The paper starts from the assumption that Croatian modern lyric, from Matoš to Maleš, is haunted by various monsters, phantoms and mutants, and possessed by ghosts. Phantasmal hair speaks, the body changed by illness acquires autonomy, bird-men, space-twins and angels inhabit the humanized world, the dead seek eternity, the turtle measures itʼs own existence in relation to space and time, and Jesus-fish according to the degree of its own evolutionary transformation, while language cyborgs and hybrid beings are born. The lyric about monsters is itself a monstrous discourse. In this discourse human existence is necessarily contaminated by the abhuman and the parahuman, language includes its own mutations, and the encounter with meaning depends on the ultimate deformation, hybridization and disappearance of meaning. Thus, in the very center of our humanity, in the artistic form that determines the measure of the humanity of our community, questions about what is humane and inhumane, how to determine the boundary between them, and is not the general understanding of humanity always-already determined by oneʼs own inhuman or a-human are raised. Looking at a series of lyric texts, the paper will analyze these relationships and subsequently show their possible political and legal effects. I will refer to theoreticians who read the lyric as a linguistic event and performative type of utterance (J. Culler, P. de Man, B. Johnson, and others) and to thinkers who, to say it simply, perceive the ideas of equality, law and justice as phantasmal, mutated, scandalous or monstrous democracy (G. Agamben, J. Rancière, J. Derrida, J-L. Nancy and others).

Keywords: politics; Croats; segregation; forgery; Croatian scientific workers; Mile Lasić; Bosnia and Herzegovina;

The holders of political functions that affirm and implement, from the perspective of contemporary European values and flows, socially unacceptable ideas, the alleged factual and social justification of ideologies, i.e. their own legitimacy, draw from affirmative speeches and confirm the correctness of the established theses from supposed academic authorities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the data that the supposed authorities in the areas of political systems and social development construct as reality or as valid arguments, and their deconstruction through a comparative analysis of the statements made in relation to empirically verifiable facts and the internationally recognized certified experts from relevant authorities

Association of Fathers' Satisfaction and Perception of Family with Participation in Family Life and Prosocial Behavior of Adolescents

Povezanost očeva zadovoljstva i percepcije obitelji sa sudjelovanjem u obiteljskom životu i prosocijalnim ponašanjem adolescenata

Author(s): Marina Merkaš / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: fathers; adolescents; family; prosocial behavior; family functioning;

The purpose of the paper was to examine whether the father's family experience transfers to the behavior of the adolescent in the family and then to the socially desirable behaviors of the adolescent. The aim of the paper was to examine how the father's experience of family functioning and family satisfaction directly and indirectly, through adolescent participation in family life, contribute to the prosocial behavior of adolescents. The sample consisted of 178 children and their fathers who participated in the two-wave study. Children evaluated their prosocial behavior and participation in family life in the second wave, and fathers assessed family functioning and family satisfaction in the first wave. The results showed that the father's positive perception of family functioning and higher satisfaction with family life are associated with more prosocial behavior and greater participation in family life among adolescents. The father's positive family experience contributes to a higher level of adolescent participation in family life, which then contributes to the more prosocial behavior of adolescents. The results confirm the existence of a significant and indirect contribution of the family to adolescent behavior as well as the transfer of emotions and behaviors in the family and other systems.
