Keywords: phraseme; phraseology; contrasting; phraseological structure; equivalent typology; phraseological equivalent
This paper deals with an analysis of phrasemes in Ivo Andrić's Omer-paša Latas. The first part of the paper gives the types of phraseological structures, where it is shown that the most frequent ones are "non-predicate verb phrasemes" that account for 52% of the total number of the phrasemes. The second part of the paper deals with the typology of phraseological equivalents in the aforementioned novel and their translations into German. The results show that the phrasemes, having in mind 98 found expressions, are frequent units in Andrić's body of work, and that they, some 77%, are translated as phrasemes into German as well.

Keywords: mask; carnival; persona; alienation; Vojnović; maškarate; grotesque; illusion; deformation
The present paper analyses Ivo Vojnović’s drama Maškarate ispod kuplja by intending to emphasize the importance of carnival masks considered as instruments of liberation of individuals from social conformism. The protagonists of Vojnović’s Maškarate show their non-conformist faces and experience freedom only in carnival season. The carnival is described as the allegory of surreal and phantasmagoric world displaying pseudo-realistic situations that represent the deformed face or, rather, the alter of the masked reality. Masks are, therefore, perceived as shields from the frustrating reality and external influences, whereas life under masks is understood as the perfect model of concealing internal weaknesses and insecurities. The enchanting carnival atmosphere enables the protagonists to openly show the suppressed personality and personal choices. The clear model of searching for the illusion of the truth and the truth of the illusion is also shown, notwithstanding the complicating conditions of the emotional world of the protagonist-symbol who creates false identity provoked and conditioned by external factors. The influence of the Italian grotesque theatre has been reported as well, whereas the similarities have been perceived in particular in the behavioral pattern of the protagonists and perception of time and place as metaphysical categories. The determination of the level of interdependence between the Croatian author and the Italian role models has also been possible. The comparison with the Italian literary contemporaries has been performed by examining the intertextual correspondences in particular related to the selection of the „carnivalesque” motives.

U članku se raspravlja o ekonomskim karakteristikama centralnobalkanske oblasti, od Sirmijuma i Raciarije na severu, do granice provincije Makedonije na jugu, u poznocarsko doba. Ova oblast nije činila celinu u administrativnom sistemu Rimske države IV-VI veka. Ulazila je u okvire većeg broja provincija: Savia, Dalmatia, Dacia Ripensis, Pannonia secunda, Moesia I, Dardania i Dacia Mediterranea. U ekonomskom pogledu ona se izdvajala kao agrarna oblast sa malo gradova. U ekonomici carstva imala je značaja kao zemlja carskih domena, velikih zemljišnih poseda i rudnika. Osim rudnog blaga, ekonomika ove oblasti je obezbeđivala snabdevanje upravnog aparata i vojske, često i one koja je privremeno stacionirana na Balkanu, u vreme mnogobrojnih, ponekad i dugotrajnih ratova na Dunavu. Carski domen je snabdevao Careve u vreme kada su se nalazili na Balkanu, bilo na prolazu iz jednog dela Carstva u drugi bilo u vreme ratova.

Keywords: gender; fame fatale; demonization; castration; cultural crisis; sacrificial revival; (meta)naration
From the standpoint of a feminist literary critic, the demonization of women in the form of a stereotype/archetype femme fatale is usually interpreted as a patriarchal ideological construction symbolizing male fear of female emancipation, connected with the periods of crisis of the patriarchal societal order. Unlike other feminist critics, in her work Soft Shed Kisses – Re-visioning of Famme Fatale in English Poetry of the 19th Century Malgorzata Luczynska-Holdys claims that the stereotypical character of femme fatale in literature is often used to criticize male point of view. This interpretation is the consequence of male voices in the texts analyzed by Luczynska-Holdys, which ascribe fatality to all women. This interpretation is based on the thesis that in the novel Anika’s Times it is possible to observe the process of demonization of women in the minds of central male characters, as well as in the stories produced by the patriarchal male-centered community. Therefore, the novel does not simply reproduce the patriarchal stereotypical construction of fatal women but it enables a certain level of its reflection and criticism.

Ivo Andrić i njegovo književno djelo neki su od živih problema postjugoslavenskih književnih historiografija i njihovih međusobnih odnosa. U bosanskohercegovačkom, a posebno bošnjačkom književnohistoriografskom slučaju u vezi s Andrićem najizrazitiji je prijepor pitanje koje je dobro poznato i u širem kontekstu – pitanje koje se u simplificiranoj perspektivi javlja kao problem Andrićeva odnosa prema Bosni i Bošnjacima. Radi se, međutim, o višestruko složenijem problemu reprezentacije Bosne, posebno bosanske povijesti, bosanskih muslimana, “muslimanskog Orijenta” i drugih sličnih i ovom bliskih pojava u Andrićevu književnom djelu, u vezi s kojim ni bosanskohercegovačka ni bošnjačka književna historiografija nisu niti mogu biti homogene. Zato je u konačnici nemoguće govoriti o nekoj jedinstvenoj, unisonoj bošnjačkoj, a pogotovo ne o jednoobraznoj bosanskohercegovačkoj recepciji Andrićeva književnog djela ili nekih njegovih aspekata u ovoj problemskoj perspektivi.

Ivo Andrić rodio se 9. listopada 1892. godine u Docu kod Travnika. Već s dvije godine umro mu je otac te ga je majka poslala kod očeve sestre u Višegrad. Njegov boravak u Višegradu ostavit će veliki utjecaj na njega, što doprinosi i pisanju romana o višegradskoj ćupriji. Nakon završene osnovne škole u Višegradu, godine 1903. odlazi u Sarajevo kod majke i uspisuje se u gimnaziju. Već za svojih srednjoškolskih dana počeo je pisati pjesme, a 1911. godine objavio je svoje prve književe radove u časopisu Bosanska Vila. Po završetku gimnazije, u razdoblju od 1912. do 1914. studirao je slavensku književnosti i povijest u Zagrebu, Beču, Krakovu i Grazu. Godine 1915. vraća se kod majke u Sarajevo, a kasnije ponovno odlazi u Zagreb. Do listopada 1919. živio je u Zagrebu gdje je s Nikom Bartulovićem i Vladimirom Čerinom 1918. godine pokrenuo časopis Književni jug. Nakon preseljenja u Beograd 1920. godine radio je u Ministarstvu vanjskih poslova Kraljevine SHS.

Jede kontrastive Untersuchung und somit auch kontrastive Untersuchung im Rahmen dieses Textes, stellt uns die Frage der Stufe der Übereinstimmung, bzw. der Unterschiede zwischen zwei Sprachen. (Die Untersuchung des Verbalaspektes zeigt uns morphologische und syntaktische Unterschiede zwischen zwei Sprachsystemen. In der serbokroatischen Sprache ist dar Verbalaspekt eksiplizit ausgedrückt, während im Deutschen die Perfektivität, bzw. dlie Imperfektivität einer Handlung erst aus einem kleinerem oder größerem Kontext (»aspektologischer Kontext«) hervorgeht, d. h. implizit. Aber immerhin dürfen sich diese Sprachmittel nicht mit dem Verbalaspekt der serbokroatischen Sprache identifizieren, sondern müssen dlie verschiedenen Aktionsarten im Deutschen zum Ausdruck bringen, denn das Deutsche kennt den Verbalaspekt weder als eine morphologische, noch als eitle syntaktische Kategorie. Der Verbalaspekt im Serbokroatischen hat andere Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten, als im Deutschen. Amer immerhin ist dies kein Grund, das wir von kleineren größeren stilistischen Werten einer oder anderen Sprache sprechein. Es besteht nichts in der Wirklichkeit, was nicht in der Sprache ausgedrückt werden kann; es gibt keine Wirklichkeit außerhalb der Sprache, noch gibt jes keine Sprache außerhalb der Wirklichkeit.

Keywords: narration; evil; intertextuality; 18th century Franciscan chronicles; Ivo Andrić; Josip Mlakić; history; Bosnia; friars; memory;
This paper analyzes intertextual relations between the 18th century Franciscan chronicles and the selected works of Ivo Andrić and Josip Mlakić, taking into consideration the theoretical concepts of narration and evil. Based on the selected 18th century Franciscan chronicles, the paper examines the connection between narration as memory and history as „magistra vitae.“ Consequently, narration is established as a source of knowledge, but also as the guardian of threatened identity. Furthermore, the analysis shows the importance of the 18th century chronical tradition within the works of Ivo Andrić, including the short stories of the so called „franjevački ciklus“ (The Franciscan Cycle) and his novels Travnička hronika (Bosnian Chronicle), Na Drini ćuprija (The Bridge on the Drina) and Prokleta avlija (Damned Yard). The structural logic of these works is dependent on the repetition of historical evil inscribed in Bosnia, which is in turn written-out through the the figure of the Bosnian Franciscan. Franciscans, thus shaped by Andrić, reveal the shift from politics to poetics and ultimately become symbols of narration and memory. Moreover, this symbol is later employed in Josip Mlakić’s works, particularly in the novel Tragom zmijske košuljice (Tracing the Snakeskin). The paper further shows how Mlakić’s novels rely on the same repetition of evil, but otherwise differ in the way narration is understood. His novel Kad magle stanu (When the Mists Have Stopped) thematizes the failure of narrating uniform identity and reveals new narratives that provide the basis on which the subject can independently (de)construct itself. The analysis of the novel Evanđelje po Barabi (The Gospel According to Barabbas) then emphasizes the performativity of unreliable narration which takes part in constructing the idea of the world and of evil. Finally, the complex nature of story and its equivalence to life governed by inexpressible evil is examined in the context of Mlakić’s novel Skica u ledu (A Sketch in Ice).

Keywords: Essence; Timaeus; Clacidius; Platonist terminology; Translation of Greek words; substantia; essentia;
Expressing ‘essence’ in the translation and commentary of Timaeus by Calcidius (4th c. p.D.) depends on Platonist terminology which is not completely stabilised. We will see how, in his translation, Calcidius translated Greek words as οὐσία or φύσις, but also how he used the word substantia whereas there was no expression of essence in the Greek text. The Latin commentator used both essentia and substantia, but the latter quite often. However, in doing so, he weakened the meaning of the word substantia. Lastly, Calcidius translated into Latin and used Greek no‑Platonist expressions with a very specific signification of ‘essence’.

Keywords: Ivo Tartaglia; Croatian Democratic party; Croat People's Progressive Party; Political scene in Dalmatia;
The period of activity of the Croatian Democratic Party, or as it would later be known, the Croat People’s Progressive Party, conforms with the transformation of the political scene in Dalmatia. The old National Party lost its importance, while the younger generation of politicians inaugurates the arrival of new political forces in Dalmatia. The younger generation grouped around the Croat People’s Progressive Party. This was the first political party that was active in Dalmatia as well as Civil Croatia, and to have sympathizers in Bosnia and Hercegovina. This article deals specifically with the part played by Ivo Tartaglia (1880-1949) in the Croat People’s Progressive Party.

The Incarnation of the Word of God between Niceism and Arianism in the IVth century. The incarnation of the Word is the main theme debated by St. Athanasius throughout his theological and dogmatic works. First, incarnation theology has an anti-pagan connotation, as pagans derided Christians’ faith in the incarnation of the divine Logos, and, on the other hand, the Alexandrian bishop developed the theme of the incarnation against the Arians who denied the divinity of the Son and promoted a “creationist” doctrine of Christ. Between niceism and arianism, the theology of the incarnation knew several forms of theological expression, starting from the Arians, followers of Arius, to the neo-Arians, reinvented by Aetius and Eunomius, passing through the theology of the Homeans, who claimed the resemblance of the Son to the Father, to it culminated in the Homoiousians, those who came closest to the dogma of the Nicene Creed and who would finally embrace Niceism. The Cappadocians use in their theology of the incarnation the intuitions and arguments of Athanasius to overcome any other doctrine that would oppose or contradict the Niceno homoousian dogma, the consubstantiality of the Son with the Father, namely, the Son is God like Father.

Keywords: Ivo Andrić; Boris Pasternak; Serbian novel of the 20th century; Russian novel of the 20th century; Winter;
In this paper is compared the presentation of a winter in Andrić’s novel “Omerpaša Latas” and Pasternak’s novel “Doctor Zhivago”. While Andrić wrote about the winter in only one chapter, “February in Sarajevo”, Pasternak devoted much more space to winter and the image of winter extends throughout the novel-epic and in the poems of the main character, Yury Zhivago, which Pasternak added at the end of his novel. In Andrić’s novel, winter is a negative climatic phenomenon and inhabitants of Sarajevo have a hard time living when they do not have firewood and feel constrained. In Pasternak’s novel, winter is more important than in Andrić’s novel. The blizzard has negative connotations and reminds the main character of his mother’s funeral. The blizzard symbolizes both social change and changes in human consciousness. That impact is basically devastating. And in Pasternak, winter changes the lives of his heroes. It is connected, as in Andrić’s novel, with poverty and hunger. On the other hand, Pasternak’s description of winter is more poetic than in Andrić’s novel. This is the first time that a picture of winter has been written in Andrić’s novel “Omerpaša Latas”, while many researchers, mostly Russian, have written about the same motif in Pasternak’s “Doctor Zhivago”.

The play of life by Salko Ćorkan which, both on paper and in space, takes up an existential, artistic and metaphysical notion, is comparable to the (seemingly circus-like) play of life by Eduard Sam. Both characters are carried away by their play where their feet would never take them. Play transforms, it crashes all fences, opens up spaces of freedom, it exalts, while life becomes light, skilful, respectable and meaningful. Ćorkan’s ascent and dance on the icy stone fence of the bridge, the great danger and the gaping abyss on the verge of which he found himself, almost on a wire, will mean victory over life which he was destined to live on Earth, a detachment from solid ground, a take-off by light and on a desired path along which one should travel in life. Ivo Andrić and Danilo Kiš, and their unusual, free-thinking characters living a life lacking respect (though worthy of the highest respect) tell us a story (perform a play) on the meaning of life – the master and his apprentice.

Keywords: Ivo Andrić; Zija Dizdarević; Zuko Džumhur; kasaba; town; novel; short story; travelogue;
This paper analyses the role of a town (often marked as kasaba in Bosnian-Herzegovinian culture) within the structure of Ivo Andrić’s novel The Bridge over the Drina, Zija Dizdarević’s several short stories and Zuko Džumhur’s travelogues. The town / kasaba, whose architecture is based on ancient and Mediterranean concepts, has a center and an edge. Center symbolizes sociality, while the edge, with a great number of public places, doesn`t have that meaning. Various meanings and functions of the town / kasaba are found in mentioned works of Ivo Andrić, Zija Dizdarević and Zuko Džumhur. Some of them are highly symbolical. The town / kasaba is the crucial element in the inner structure of those works, seen also as the place of historical and cultural remembrance. Seen through narrator’s eyes, town often symbolizes social backwardness, which is best known stereotype about town (kasaba).

One could say that Signs by the Roadside, book by Ivo Andrić (first time published in 1976, after he died (in 1975), in a pregnant, aphoristic style articulates his life philosophy. The English edition of this book was in 2015, by Sezam book, Belgrade. It expresses pregnant thoughts on man and his life, somewhat similar to Aurelius, and his book To Himself . However, his life philosophy not present, not only in Signs, but in many of his novels, expressed through life situations of his personalities, and their reflections upon their destinies.
