The Evolution of the Communist Regime by the Restalinisation Performed by Leonid Brejnev

Les mecanismes politiques de la restalinisation brejnevienne. Aspects interieurs

Author(s): Sergiu Mișcoiu / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2003

If the general preoccupations concerning the communist era are, at least, for the most of them, trying to emphasise the diabolical aspects of this kind of regimes and become, more or less, some sort of crusades for democracy, we consider the task of politology and of contemporary history research to be different. It is for the political scientist to look deep into the realities, to consider the political system as a whole and to perceive and to clarify the main characteristics of it within the studied period of time. The following work is trying to identify the main features of a major historical change within the evolution of the communist regime by the restalinisation performed by Leonid Brejnev and to produce a schematic study of the mechanisms of this process

Ricoeur lecteur de Patočka

Ricoeur lecteur de Patočka

Author(s): Domenico Jervolino / Language(s): French / Issue: 7/2007

In this essay, Domenico Jervolino summarizes twenty years of Ricoeur’s reading of Patocka’s work, up to the Neapolitan conference of 1997. Nowhere is Ricoeur closer to Patočka 's a-subjective phenomenology. Both thinkers belong, together with authors like Merleau-Ponty and Levinas, to a third phase of the phenomenological movement, marked by the search for a new approach to the relation between human beings and world, beyond Husserl and Heidegger. In the search for this approach, Patočka strongly underlines the relation between body, temporality and sociality. Central to this new encounter of Patočka and Ricoeur is the discovery of an idea of inter-human community based on a a-subjective conception of existence.

Elements of Cinematic Poetics in Alfred Döblin's Early Work

Elementi filmske poetike u ranom djelu Alfreda Döblina

Author(s): Mirjana Stančić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 3/1991

Döblins Außerungen über seinen »Kinostil« geben Aufschluß über die in der Sekundärliteratur immer häufiger beachtete medienüberschreitende Orientierung seiner Ästhetik. Die an die Filmsprache gebundene Erzählung gipfelt im Roman "Berlin Alexanderplatz«, dem jedoeh im analytischen Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit Döblins frühe Erzählungen vorgezogen worden sind. Die Rekonstruktion der eigenartigen Filmsprache ist gleich falls an diese n Texten möglich, die der Dichter-Arzt Döblin zuweilen auch als wissensehaftliches Experimentierfeld benutzte. Sie fungierte dabei als eine unter den vielen asthetischen Innovationen des immerhin im Zeitalter des Kinos lebenden Autors. Die filmähnlichen Schreibstrategien weisen Döblin somit als zeitbewußten literarischen Experimentator aus.

The Meaning of Margins or: From Inside to the Outmost and Back Again

Das Geschichtsdrama nach dem Ende des Geschichtsdramas. Über einige Stücke Elfriede Jelineks

Das Geschichtsdrama nach dem Ende des Geschichtsdramas. Über einige Stücke Elfriede Jelineks

Author(s): Ingo Breuer / Language(s): German / Issue: 17/2008

Elfriede Jelineks Theaterstücke sind darauf angelegt, die bestehenden Grenzen von Drama und Theater auszuloten und zu sprengen – und damit auch die Grenzen des Geschichtsdramas. Die Gattungstheorie kann dem Problem nur gerecht werden, wenn sie die Stücke u.a. als semiotische Apparaturen zur Herstellung von ’historischen’ Bedeutungen begreift. Dann gilt nicht mehr nur eine Nachahmung vergangener Handlungen als ’historisch’, sondern alle Verweise auf Historizität, also auch Jelineks ideologiekritische, dekonstruktive Geschichtsstücke und Gedächtnisdramen.

The Accruement of Jiří Weils Novel "Mendelsohn auf dem Dach"/"Mendelsohn on the roof"

Zur Entstehung von Jiří Weils Roman "Mendelsohn auf dem Dach"

Author(s): Miroslav Kryl / Language(s): German / Issue: 11/2004

Keywords: Jiři Weil; Mendelssohn auf dem Dach; Terezin; Holocaust; Prague; censorship; Shoa; occupation; Czeckoslovakia; postwar Communism; post-1945 Jewish life;

The article discusses the life of the Czech writer and journalist Jiří Weil during the Nazi occupation, focusing on the genesis of his best-known novel “Mendelssohn on the roof”/„Mendelssohn auf dem Dach”. His book is a belletristic approach of the tragedy of the Czech Jews. The occupied Prague is very well described in the novel. Kryl analyses the motives in the book and places the novel in the context of other Weil´s works. Weil had a great deal of problems with getting his book published due to the post-1948 communist censorship. Finally his book, which was quite successful, was printed with some changes in 1960, after Weil´s death in 1959.

The European Union and the western Balkans

The European Union and the western Balkans

Author(s): Jens Becker / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2008

Keywords: europeanisation; modernisation agenda; globalisation; world society; US hegemony; common foreign and security policy; sovereignty and the nation state; EU integration; Stability Pact; fight against corruption; social progress.

This review article focuses on a wide canvas of issues relating to the EU’s engagement with western Balkans countries. Putting current policies into the perspective of the recent history of the western Balkans region, the author develops a number of theses about the nature of the EU’s engagement including among them the extension of the modernisation agenda and the difficulties that this is causing the EU’s own internal capacities. The author cites the destruction of Yugoslavia during the 90s, a process in which a European Community preoccupied with its own economic and monetary union appeared powerless to react, as being key in the problematic development of a foreign and security policy at the EU level, where the EU is still ‘between globalisation and fragmentation’. The author explores EU initiatives in the integration of western Balkans states, including the Stability Pact, and concludes that integration offers a difficult challenge to dreams of European unity in which the experience of the US in the application of its foreign policy offers a key lesson as to the likely weighting of the challenges that matter most of all to ordinary people.

The end of the World War II in Transylvania in the novel "Luntrea lui Caron" - "The boat of Charon" by Lucian Blaga

Das Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges in Siebenbürgen im Roman „Luntrea lui Caron“ – „Der Nachen des Charon“ von Lucian Blaga

Author(s): Friedrich Engelbert / Language(s): German / Issue: _/2013

Lucian Blaga (1895-1961) zählt zu den großen Persönlichkeiten des rumänischen Geisteslebens im 20. Jahrhundert. Er wirkte als herausragender Philosoph, Dichter, Dramatiker und Prosaautor. Seine Werke sind eng mit den Grundzügen seiner idealistischen Philosophie verwurzelt und wurden weltweit in über 20 Sprachen übersetzt. Hingegen ist Lucian Blaga zu seinen Lebzeiten als Erzähler kaum hervorgetreten. Der Roman „Luntrea lui Caron“, obschon in der Zeit von 1951-1953 in wesentlichen Teilen geschrieben und damit zur versteckt gehaltenen „Schreibtischliteratur“ zählend, erregte dennoch Aufsehen, als er nach der politischen Wende 1989/1990 in Rumänien veröffentlicht wurde. Blaga beschreibt in dem Roman, den der Literaturwissenschaftler Mircea Vasilescu einen „totalen Roman“ nennt, anhand einer Intellektuellenkarriere die Zeit von Anfang 1944 bis 1950, ohne sich allerdings auf aggressive gesellschaftspolitische Kritik im Sinne politischer Dissidenz einzulassen. Die Rezeption seines einzigen Romans fand naturgemäß nur in rumänischsprachigen Medien statt. Diese müssen aber mit bewirkt haben, dass die Universität in Hermannstadt im Jahre 1995, fünf Jahre nach der Dezemberrevolution in Rumänien, zum Centenarium Blagas den Namen Lucian-Blaga-Universität verliehen bekam.

LECTRA’S MYTH IN THEATRE REPRESENTATIONS

MITUL ELECTREI ÎN REPREZENTĂRI SCENICE

Author(s): Gabriela Chiciudean / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 7/2016

Keywords: Electra; myth; tragedy; theatre; Aeschylus; Sophocles; Euripides; Aurel Stroe; Lucian Pintilie;

In time, Electra’s myth inspired many authors, resulting in remarkable literary works, adapting the “story” according to the patterns or the spirit of age. Our paper is part of a larger study discussing several dramatic works, including Aeschylus’ Oresteia of, Sophocles’ Electra, Euripides’ Electra, Sartre’s The Flies, J. Giradoux’ Electra, Eugene O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra and Victor Eftimiu’s Atrizii. We analyse these works with their dramatic characteristics, as well as their content, what is taken from the old Electra’s myth and the elements of novelty brought in each particular case, especially the ones related to the fact that the 20th century dramatic works register a return to the ancient myths. The present paper refers to the staging and screening of the ancient myth, discussing Orestia and Orestia II directed by Vlad Mugur, Choeforele (The Libation Bearers) by Aurel Stroe, directed by Lucian Pintilie.

Microform writing scene: instruments, gestures, poetics

Schreibszenen des Kleinen: Instrumente, Gesten, Poetiken

Author(s): Zornitza Kazalarská / Language(s): German / Issue: 6/2017

Keywords: Notiz; Kleine Formen; Schreibszene; Handschrift; Spätsozialismus; notatka; małe formy; scena pisania; pismo odręczne; późny socjalizm

Im Zentrum des Beitrags steht die Verflechtung der kleinen Formen mit ihren Schreibszenen im Allgemeinen, und die Mitwirkung von Schreibinstrumenten, Beschreibstoffen und körperlichen Schreibgesten an literarischen Notierpraktiken im östlichen Europa im Konkreten. Das Augenmerk der Autorin richtet sich dementsprechend auf das Notizenmachen als prozessuale Schreibpraxis mit eigener Instrumentalität und Gestik. Zum einen interessiert sich die Autorin für die Blütezeit notierenden Schreibens in der alternativen Kultur der spätsozialistischen 1970/1980er Jahre und für die wesentlichen Momente seiner Vor- und Nachgeschichte. Zum anderen benennt sie einige poetologische Implikationen, die Notierpraktiken ins Spiel bringen und die sich aus selbst- und metareflexiven Schreibszenen in literarischen Texten herauskristallisieren: Intransivität, Beweglichkeit, Beiläufigkeit, Vorläufigkeit und Exzessivität. Für Texte, die die poetologischen Dimensionen des Manuskriptartigen und Handschriftlichen aufwerten, schlägt sie schließlich die Bezeichnung „Poetik der Vorbereitung“ vor. // Głównym tematem artykułu jest analiza mikroform pisarskich opartych na notatkowych rękopisach, uwzględniająca kontekst sceny pisania, w tym szczególnie fizyczność aktu pisania, udział instrumentów piśmiennych oraz materiałów (nośników) piśmienniczych i samego fizycznego aktu pisania – w kontekście podobnej praktyki zapisu notatek literackich w Europie Wschodniej. Autorka skupia się na sporządzaniu notatek jako proceduralnej praktyce pisania z własnym instrumentarium i gestami. Przedmiotem jej zainteresowania, z jednej strony, jest okres najintensywniejszego rozwoju takich mikroform kulturze w późnosocjalistycznych lat 70. i 80. XX wieku oraz kluczowe momenty prehistorii i posthistorii tematu. Z drugiej strony, bada ona pewne implikacje poetologiczne, które wprowadzają do gry praktyki notatek literackich niewidzialność, zręczność, przypadkowość, prowizoryczność i nadmierność. W przypadku tekstów, które podkreślają poetologiczne wymiary rękopisu i pisania odręcznego, autorka proponuje termin „poetyka przygot owania”.

Christian reminiscences? Water and death in the writing of Émile Verhaeren, Maurice Maeterlinck, and Jean Louvet

Eau et mort chez Émile Verhaeren, Maurice Maeterlinck et Jean Louvet : des réminiscences chrétiennes ?

Author(s): Vincent Radermecker / Language(s): French / Issue: 3/2018

Keywords: water; death; Christianity; religious; sea;

The Seven Princesses by Maurice Maeterlinck, Body white of men of the shade by Jean Louvet and Towards the sea by Émile Verhaeren match « water » and « death ». In a gradation towards more hope of defeating disappearance. These three authors disowned the Christianity which they knew when they were a child. An attentive reading of texts discovers in them however Christian recollections, more or less conscious, more or less assumed.

Claude Lanzmann's Shoah and My Generation in Alemania

Claude Lanzmanns Shoah und meine Generation in Alemania

Author(s): Stefan Gandler / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: Shoah (movie); Ideology in the Post-National Socialism; Claude Lanzmann; Destruction of the European Jews;

The movie Shoah from the intellectual, filmmaker, editor of «Les Temps Modernes» and former Résistance-fighter Claude Lanzmann, who recently passed away, presented for important parts of my generation in Germany a radical turning point. For the first time we had been able to conceive that the destruction of the European Jews took place almost in immediate geographic and historical neighborhood. In one shot it got clear to us –who understood ourselves as student activists with a critical posture towards capitalism and domination– that in reality we hadn't known nothing about the Shoah.

„Children will cope with the truth”– guilt and admission to guilt in the historical novel for children and teenagers Ich war dabei. Geschichten gegen das Vergessen by Gudrun Pausewang

„Die Wahrheit ist den Kindern zumutbar“ – Schuld und Bekenntnis in Gudrun Pausewangs geschichtserzählendem Kinderund Jugendbuch Ich war dabei Geschichten gegen das Vergessen

Author(s): Marijana Jeleč / Language(s): German / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: literature for children and teenagers; national socialism; indoctrination; admission to guilt

Abstract: The author of the article analyses the historical book for children and teenagers Ich war dabei. Geschichten gegen das Vergessen (2004) by Gudrun Pausewang and focuses on the problem of presenting history, recognizing and admitting guilt in the context of contemporary literature for children and teenagers. The author examines in what way and for what purpose the topic of national socialism and holocaust is introduced into the literature. She demonstrates that literature for children and teenagers can also be a genre that makes it possible to deal with national socialism and can contribute to the political education of children and youngsters. The stories subjected to analysis address traditional patterns of guilt suppression and show how children and teenagers approach the propagation of Nazi ideology. Pausewang points with her stories to the individual and collective importance of settling accounts with the past in books for children.

Die Dunklen by Ralph Isaura as an Example of Franz Liszt’s works reception in Pop Culture

Szkarłatna partytura Ralfa Isaua jako przykład recepcji twórczości Franza Liszta w literackiej kulturze popularnej

Author(s): Małgorzata Gamrat / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: Ralf Isau; Franz Liszt; Die Dunklen; Szkarłatna partytura; Music and Literature

This paper presents a novel Die Dunklen (2007) by Ralf Isau. I analyse the presence of Franz Liszt’s music in this work. Isau uses Liszt’s music to explain history and the aesthetics of music, and also the influence of music on human being (e.g. Plato, music rhetoric, programme music, and audio marketing). The most important part of this paper is the analysis of structure and narration in this novel in relationship with musical techniques and forms.

Veneration of the Theotokos reflected in the Hymn of the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Preacinstirea Născătoarei de Dumnezeu reflectată în imnografia Praznicului Adormirii Maicii Domnului

Author(s): Marius Emilian Făgădaru / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 02/2019

Keywords: Holy Mother of God; Virgin Mary; Assumption of Holy Mother of God; hymnography; liturgical life;

The doctrine about the Holy Virgin Mary forms a substantial and a very important chapter of Christian theology, which has been enriched, analyzed and synthesized, in different contexts, by some Theologians and specialists in Mariology. The figure of the Mother of God is presented in the entire life of the Church, although we are speaking about the internal or the external liturgical service. She has occupied a determinant place in the heart of the believers, in personal piety or godliness, even from her life and especially after Her Assumption. This article tries to analyze the elements of the hymnography from this feast of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, to demonstrate the significance of this Holy feast and also the importance of the person of Holy Mother of God in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Orthodox Church.

Nesthäkchens Backfischzeit by ELSE URY and the German Revolution of 1918/1919

Nesthäkchens Backfischzeit von ELSE URY und die deutsche Revolution von 1918/1919

Author(s): Angelika Schneider / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2019

The fifth volume of ELSE URY’S Nesthäkchen series, published around 1920, combines typical elements of the “Backfischroman” (teenage girl novel) with motifs of the German Revolution of 1918/1919 and creates a partially heterogenic and partially homogenic narrative. In this context the idea behind the entire series is presented and the way in which the series became part of the process of modernization and politicization of books for girls in the late Empire is discussed. The analysis shows how the text focuses on the revolution, class conflict, and debates on student councils from a bourgeois perspective, foregrounding them as the most important aspects of the “revolutionary novel for young girls”.
