The Anatomy of a Paradox

Anatomija jednog paradoksa

Author(s): Enes Duraković / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 1/2009

Keywords: Ivo Andrić; methodological incoherence; literary history; paradox; Ivan Lovrenovic; orientalism; ideological approach; reception; positivism

Ivan Lovrenovic’s essay, which won the „Midhat Begic“ Award for the best essay in 2008, is a pretentious attempt of the author to reevaluate the understanding of Andric’s work and to reexamine the significance of the work in literary history. In the process, Lovrenovic places a special emphasis on the critic texts on Andric, which reveal and explain his ideological positions. However, Lovrenovic’s essay is, in essence, inferior to the very critics of Andric’s work he mentions and is, at the same time, methodologically inadequate in relation to Andric’s work: Lovrenovic combines in his essay the methods which are incompatible, even contradictory, so it is seen throughout the text that the author is unaware of his own methodological contradictions – he creates a methodological galimatias by demonstrating methodological inconsistency and research incompetence and immaturity. In an attempt to reveal the so-called paradox in understanding of Andric’s literary opus, Lovrenovic wrote an essay which is a paradox on its own, thus standing out as an example of methodological incompetence in understanding and valorization of a literary work.

The World We Live In: Children of the storm

Author(s): Tassula Zissaki-Healey / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2004

It is a little known fact that many of the houses and buildings left empty following the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans in the 1940s were later occupied by refugees fleeing the Greek Civil War. Back then the socialist state of Czechoslovakia took in thousands of Greek partisans and their families following the defeat of the communists in that country's bloody civil conflagration at the end of the 1940s. Most were to remain here until an amnesty was granted in the 1970s and thousands still live here today. The Chairwoman of the Greek Community in Prague, Tassula Zissaki-Healey, provides us with a fascinating overview of the experiences of these Greeks living in the Czech lands

Similarities and Differences between European Countries Taking in Consideration Socio-Economic Factors

Similarities and Differences between European Countries Taking in Consideration Socio-Economic Factors

Author(s): Ioana Simina Sas,Lucia Ţiplea,Anuța Buiga / Language(s): English / Issue: 1-2/2007

Keywords: cluster; factor analysis; HDI; EU- 27; EFTA

In this study we classified the 27 EU members and other countries, such as Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland ( the last three are EFTA – European Free Trade Association- members) using data from European Union Labour Force Survey ( EU- LFS), a demographic study made in 2005 by Eurostat. At that time Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania were official candidates at the EU. The variables taken to account refers to population classified by gender and age, active and inactive, rates and labour field, level of education and usual hours worked per week. Because the variables were too many, 86, we tried to minimize that number using principal component analysis (PCA). The classification of those states is based on the six factors resulted of PCA, which explains adequate the studied phenomenon. Using Cluster Analysis each country would be a member of the fifth groups and the states would be similar in each group taking in consideration all the factors, but the groups would differ significantly.

City As A Frame Of Homeland Identity

After analyzing cultural policies of several Serbian cities, the author concludes that most of them have no clear idea of importance of city identity for their further urban development.

The covers of camphor

Korice od kamfora

Author(s): Renata Jambrešić Kirin / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 04+06/2013

Prohladnog korizmenog dana, kad prvi turisti kreću u osvajanje motovunskog brda, drvodjelja nam pripovijeda o predživotu svojih rukotvorina. O močvarnoj duši slavonskog hrasta i alpskoj čistoći slovenskih lipa, o crnom tržištu prvoklasnih planjki i izvozu sirovina kao tužnoj hrvatskoj sudbini. Uzima u ruke drvorez s crkvom i gradskim krovovima, u kojem budući kupci s Baltika ili Sredozemlja jednako prepoznaju svoj dom, te pokazuje udubljenje u dnu prizora, korito rječice. Ovo je trag metka koji se zabio u srčiku mlade lipe i rastao zajedno s njom idućih osamdeset godina. Njegov šiljasti vrh dokazuje da je riječ o metku iz Prvog a ne Drugoga svjetskog rata; prodavač drva iz okolice Postojne dobro ih razlikuje. Ubiti stablo lakim oružjem nije lako.

BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO COGNITIVE SCIENCE

BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO COGNITIVE SCIENCE

Author(s): Tom Froese / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: AUTOPOIESIS; COGNITIVE SCIENCE; ENACTIVISM; MIND; PHENOMENOLOGY

In this article I take an unusual starting point from which to argue for a unified cognitive science, namely a position defined by what is sometimes called the ‘life-mind continuity thesis’. Accordingly, rather than taking a widely accepted starting point for granted and using it in order to propose answers to some well defined questions, I must first establish that the idea of life-mind continuity can amount to a proper starting point at all. To begin with, I therefore assess the conceptual tools which are available to construct a theory of mind on this basis. By drawing on insights from a variety of disciplines, especially from a combination of existential phenomenology and organism-centered biology, I argue that mind can indeed be conceived as rooted in life, but only if we accept at the same time that social interaction plays a constitutive role for our cognitive capacities.

NEW ORIENTATIONS IN DEFINING THE CONTENT OF ISLAMIC THEOLOGY SCHOOLING

NOVE ORIJENTACIJE U DEFINIRANJU SADRŽAJA NASTAVE ISLAMSKE VJERONAUKE

Author(s): Edina Vejo / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 01/2003

This paper treats the field of religion teaching curriculum assuming that stronger changes in the content would make a step forward to a more fruitful and better curriculum. The proposal for changes is directed toward introducing content which would be more familiar and important for religion students of a certain age, as well as towards connecting everyday student experience with Qur’an message. Arguments for such an approach are based on contemporary achievements in pedagogy and psychology related to the youth and on Islamic quality of cognition which originates from human emotionality and intuitiveness. We consider this approach as a way of integration of religion into young people lives, where the faith in Allah Almighty becomes an element of their identity. Methodical implementation is designed through the Bloom’s taxonomy of teaching sensitivity, which presents gradual and elaborated instruction in which pedagogically and psychologically educated teacher of Islamic teaching can lead students of religion enabling their everyday experience to become a space of their encounter with Qur’an and Sunnah. Positive reflection of this would mean changes in religion teaching curriculum both in primary and secondary school. The changes would be expressed through observing anthropological opening of such a curriculum. Starting from student’s personality this would lead a student to Qur’an and Sunnah. In such a perspective upbringing in Islam means directing of young people to understand themselves and their everyday life until Islam becomes a key for interpreting of their existence.

THE MOST FREQUENT MEANINGS OF NOUN PHRASES WITH SIMPLE OR DERIVED PREMODIFYING ADJECTIVES

THE MOST FREQUENT MEANINGS OF NOUN PHRASES WITH SIMPLE OR DERIVED PREMODIFYING ADJECTIVES

Author(s): Maja M. Žarković / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2014

Keywords: adjectives; simple premodifying adjectives; derived premodifying adjectives; semantic relation

Contemporary linguistic practice usually compares the frequency of premodifying adjectives and premodifying nouns and concludes that premodifying adjectives are in most cases more frequent. Premodifying adjectives are also known as being efficient mechanisms for bringing additional information into the phrase structure. The aim of this paper is to show the most frequent meanings of noun phrases containing simple or derived premodifying adjectives, and also to present what sort of information is added to noun phrases when they have adjectives as premodifers. Using analytic and descriptive methods, we analysed examples taken from the newspaper register and concluded that premodifying adjectives, simple or derived, brought typical, adjective specific information into the phrase structure. Their ability to leave little or no space for misinterpretation of the phrase meaning while bringing additional information makes them so frequent in English.

Great War Legacies in Serbian Culture

Great War Legacies in Serbian Culture

Author(s): Jelena Milojković-Đurić / Language(s): English / Issue: 46/2015

Keywords: Great War; Serbia; Austria-Hungary; Ottoman Empire; Ivo Andrić; Miloš Crnjanski; Ivan Mestrović; Ljubomir Micić; Arsenije III Čarnojević (Crnojević); 1690; Great Serb Migration;

In the aftermath of the Great War, Ivo Andrić published a number of poems, essays and short stories describing the hard-won victorious outcome as transient to the dire reality of the inordinate loss of human lives and suffering. Yet, personal ex¬periences, although perceived as ephemeral, helped to define the historical discourse capturing man’s resolve to persist in his chosen mission. Over time, Serbian literature and fine arts sustained an unfinished dialogue of the past and the present, merging the individual voices with the collective voices to construct the national narrative. The young writer Miloš Crnjanski observed the sights of destruction and despair that seemed to pale in new literary works pertaining to the war. His novel A Diary about Čarnojević was closely related to his own perilous wartime journey as a conscript in the Austrian army. The vastness of Pannonian plains and Galician woods must have invoked a comparison of sorts with another historic chapter recorded in the collective consciousness of his nation: the Great Migration of Serbs led by Patriarch Arsenije III Čarnojević (Crnojević) in 1690. The very title of the novel contained a powerful reference to the migration, and its illustrious historic leader which has not been dis¬cussed or explored before.

PERENNIAL REBREANU, AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR OF THE COMPARATIVE APPROACH TO TRADITIONAL EUROPEAN REALISTIC PROSE

PERENNIAL REBREANU, AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR OF THE COMPARATIVE APPROACH TO TRADITIONAL EUROPEAN REALISTIC PROSE

Author(s): Suzana Carmen Cismas / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 23/2020

Keywords: Rebreanu; realistic prose; comparative approach;

The issue of modernity in any realistic writer’s prose has almost always been a focal point of exegesis. In all the novelists inspired from village themes, be they Blasco Ibáñez, Hardy, Reymont, Verga or Rebreanu, literary criticism of certain epochs has tried to identify contemporaneity in ways more or less far-fetched. Such interpretations, eager to highlight actuality at any cost, inevitably distorted the deep meanings of the books, overshadowing their focus on perennial truths. Eventually, by a hilarious paradox, the artist forcibly became our contemporary more than the man of his time he really was. Hence the investigation of this topic deserves more zeal and attention than it has been given so far, just to mitigate such exaggerations. The artists who sought inspiration and harvested themes from rural traditions worldwide are of similar value and grand stature, but, unfortunately, in the global heritage of masterpieces, Rebreanu still has not become widely known, as he deserves to, because his work has not been sufficiently translated and analyzed abroad.
