"[S]o frech dürfen schöne Frauen sonst kaum irgendwo sein". Zur Orgeluse-Episode in Wolframs von Eschenbach Parzival

Author(s): Ute Michailowitsch / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2007

„Hardly anywhere else beautiful women are allowed to be so impertinent“3. The Orgeluse episode in Wolframs von Eschenbach Parcival. The central character of this article is the ducess Orgeluse von Logroys of the mediaeval novel Parcival by Wolfram von Eschenbach. The analysis is primarily concerned with the conception of Orgeluse von Logroys (her aggressive language, her Minnedienst, her vengeful behaviour). On one hand the reasons for such an exceptional female character are considered, as well as her criticism on the Arthurian society (a society based on minne-relationships and the resulting conflicts), on the other hand the “emancipated” Orgeluse is regarded to be an example of a new female role in literary fiction and thereby gives an answer to violence implied in minne.

"A ccanciu ri Maria" e "l’Antologia" di Nino De Vita. Il caso di una scrittura “latitante” allo scoperto

Author(s): Paulina Malicka / Language(s): Italian Issue: 3/2017

The scope of the article is to highlight the importance of the latest poetry production of the Sicilian poet Nino De Vita, considered to be one of the most original among the narrative and lyric voices of dialectal poetry and of Italian literature. The present contribution focuses upon De Vita’s poem A ccanciu ri Maria published in 2015 which coincides with the publication of the poet’s bilingual Antologia, which has been considered a truly significant literary event. The publication covers more than thirty years of lyric and narrative production, marked by a continuous interweaving of life experience and clandestine writing.

"A ja zapisywałem siebie” – o Dzienniku Mieczysława Jastruna

Author(s): Joanna Kosturek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

The author of the sketch reads the Diary as a work behind the origin of which there is a sense of disappearance of life in the passing time, typical for Mieczysław Jastrun. In the context, the diary – filled, among others, with a register of small, everyday activities – seems to be a record through which Jastrun attempts to defy the nothingness and preserve his individual existence. The recording of everyday life is, however, not enough to fulfill this task on its own. Formulating remarks on Jastrun’s attempts to record his own existence and consciousness, the author references a text by Georges Gusdorf, in which the French philosopher discusses the goals and assumptions of autobiography, such as: creation of a coherent outline of one’s fortunes, interpretation and understanding of events and experiences of life, discovery of the truth of one’s own personality. Smuga światła [Streak of Light] is surely such a record. The uniqueness of individual consciousness is, however, expressed most fully in Jastrun’s metaphorical images, found not only in his poetry but also in the Diary and the Streak of Light. The author of the sketch, referencing and juxtaposing specific fragments of Jastrun’s poems, autobiography and diary, reads the meanings and connotations of one of these images – a beautiful woman entering a house – simultaneously showing the coherence of the subject’s imagination and sensitivity. Tracking of these distinctive images in the poet’s works and decyphering of their meanings resembles exploration of a “self” having a specific identity included in the texts. These images encompass an interpretation of the subject’s existence, express its distinctive metaphysical convictions, whereas their repeatability and permanency constitute the subject’s identity, preserving its existence in the volatile time.

"Ali", "Bez obzira" i "Uprkos" kao diskurzivni konektori

Author(s): Sanja Maričić,Milica Đurić / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 2/2011

Este artículo representa un intento del análisis gramatical y pragmático de los conectores adversativos empleados con mayor frecuencia: pero, sin embargo y no obstante basándose en la idea del significado restrictivo que expresan en le lengua española. En cuanto al análisis gramatical, se investigará la distinta forma semántica a la que estos conectores pertenecen. La mayoría de los conectores discursivos son adverbios o locuciones adverbiales (sin embargo, no obstante) pero hay entre ellos conjunciones (pero), preposiciones… El objetivo del análisis pragmático será el hecho que activan una serie de "instrucciones" en qué sentido ha de interpretarse el enunciado donde se encuentran.

"Altogether such a one as thyself”: Art and Religion in Robert Browning’s Dramatic Monologues

Author(s): Fabian Ivanovici / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2018

The present paper offers a comparative analysis of Robert Browning’s poems “Fra Lippo Lippi” and “Caliban upon Setebos,” wherein the main point of interest is the interplay between religion and art. I will investigate how religion is depicted and how it influences the artistic viewpoints espoused by the eponymous characters, emphasizing the role these two concepts play in shaping the speakers’ self-presentation and sense of identity. In the case of “Caliban upon Setebos,” I will also delve into Browning’s source of inspiration, Shakespeare’s The Tempest, so as to understand how Browning’s own character can be likened to, or contrasted with, the Renaissance playwright’s. Whereas Lippi the monk justifies his own penchant for naturalistic art through religion, Caliban takes to more rudimentary forms of art to assuage the fury of an unjust and wrathful deity. However, what seems to drive their definitions and redefinitions of artistic and religious discourse is an apparent lack of agency, which spurs them into rebelling against the limitations set upon them by external forces.

"And they all lived happily ever after": The Failure of a Happy Ending in The Piano (1993) and Barbe Bleue (2009)

Author(s): Yidan Hu / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2022

Jane Campion’s The Piano (1993) and Catherine Breillat’s Barbe Bleue (2009) are film adaptations of the tale Bluebeard, both of which have a seemingly bright closure — “and they all lived happily ever after”. “They”, as the female, are in the becoming process since “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” (de Beauvoir 1956: 273), which changes the nature of the film denouement. By looking at the female protagonists Ada McGrath in The Piano and Marie-Catherine in Barbe Bleue, this research aims to deal with how female “decisions” in attempting to accomplish themselves in the face of a crisis affect the understanding of the film’s ending. First, female characterisation and plot development are investigated with the construction of women’s feelings and perceptions at a given moment, influencing the subsequent outcomes. Second, the significance of narrative techniques is expounded with audience’s affective interaction with characters. The conclusion reached is that in both films, repressed female temperament allows women to make judgements and choices that predetermine the tragic core of the happy ending. The significance of this study is to draw attention to the plight of women in the undercurrent, to make it possible for the silent cries behind the beautiful fantasies to be heard.

"Anhelli" genezyjski

Author(s): Jacek Lyszczyna / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2009

Just like Mickiewicz's “Books of the Polish Nation and its Pilgrimage”, Słowacki's poem was usually interpreted as the one describing Great Emigration and addressed to Polish emigrants. These two works however present two different images of Polish emigration and two different political and historical diagnoses. First of all Słowacki rejects in “Anhelli” the possibility to interpret Polish fate and future in the context of „the Christ of Nations” idea, which is suggested in Mickiewicz's work. “Anhelli” was one of a very few pieces from Słowacki's earlier works that the poet approved in his mystic period. In the context of his mystic philosophy such clearly pessimistic vision of emigration as the one presented in “Anhelli”, becomes a necessary element in a chain of transformations that lead to the perfect future.

"Ani buni"

Author(s): Rodica Zafiu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 49/2001

The author observes the using of popular forms and grammar constructions in the literary language. The example Rodica Zafiu brings into attention here is the construction "a great deal of" as it is met in the form a great deal of years.

"Apologia obłąkanego" Piotra Czaadajewa

Author(s): Grzegorz Przebinda / Language(s): Polish Issue: II/1997

"Approximately"

Author(s): Rodica Zafiu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 11/2002

The article deals with the special position held by the adverb "cam"(about, approximately, almost, rather) in Romanian as a principal manner to express vagueness and impreciseness. Various nuances used in various word combinations give different meanings and contribute to the phrasal enrichment of the language.

"Astérix et Obélix" – un univers pragmatique

Author(s): Alexandra Cărămizaru / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2013

The article uses notions and concepts borrowed from Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis (i.e. speech act and ethos), combined with the actantial model developed by Greimas (1966). The author focuses on the essentially pragmatic dimension of the textual world created by Uderzo & Goscinny: the actions performed by Asterix and Obelix, the heroes of the famous comics bearing the same title, are based on their knowledge and understanding of the world they live in (dictionary and encyclopaedia), on their will to act (intention), but also on the fact that they can act (they have a mandate from their leader). This pragmatic dimension is inherent to the discourse allowing certain relationships to be established between individuals acting in specific contexts. By identifying the dominant speech acts, the author draws up the ethical profiles of the selected characters and the corresponding relations, more or les asymmetric (at the social and/or discursive level), generated by them.

"Atrakcyjność kobiety" w języku. Analiza materiału językowego w wybranych czasopismach dla kobiet

Author(s): Simona Mizerová / Language(s): Issue: 2/2014

The analysis of the chosen Polish magazines for women makes one reflect on one of the leading stereotypes typical of woman – to be attractive, fashionable and beautiful at every time and every age. We work on the presumption that the stereotypical image of a woman has an influence on the creation of a woman by the media, especially in individual articles of the analyzed magazines for women. Most of the authors create and describe the image of a woman with the aid of distinctive words concerning typical characterization of physical appearance and visual aspects of woman’s looks. Authors of particular pieces of writing use language constructions to show the woman as a beautiful, stylish and trendy person, they frequently use special words (not typical of the Polish standard), e.g sexy, seksy, trendy, megakobieca, supertrendy, superkobieca and the like. In the text we also refer to overusing the above-mentioned expressions. Next we present uncommon options and kinds of language used to show how we can perceive and describe the fashionable and luscious woman in the media world.

"auleta" und es bleibt alles beim Neuen! Zur Konstitution der polnischen Fachneologismen im Bereich der altgriechischen Musik.

Author(s): Grzegorz Pawłowski / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2015

Epistemic properties of a man constitute the base for change. So far little attention has been paid to those properties in semantics. Questions of epistemic factors, which influence the formation of specialised neologisms, have not been posed. The keynote of this article is the attempt to answer this question. To achieve this goal, I attempt to explain such expressions as ‚neo’, ‚epistemic’ and ‚specialised neologism’. Then I proceed with the presentation of the results of the analysis of an interview. The subject of the interview is the Polish neologism ‚auleta’, created by Maciej Kaziński during his work an the translation of John Landes’ Music in Ancient Greece and Rome.Epistemic properties of a man constitute the base for change.

"Auschwitz hin, Supermarkt her". Das musikalische Erschreiben der Gesellschaft der 1970er Jahre in Eckhard Henscheids "Die Mätresse des Bischofs"

Author(s): Martin Schneider / Language(s): German Issue: 26/2017

The article interprets Eckhard Henscheids novel "Die Mätresse des Bischofs", first published in 1978, as an attempt to use musical writing in order to transform the German society of the late Seventies. The novel creates a textual score, in which different manners of contemporary social speech are interlaced with the memory of National Socialism, war and the Holocaust. In this context, the article relates Henscheid’s so far undervalued novel to the writings of Thomas Bernhard and the musical philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno.

"AUTOBIOGRAFSKI UGOVOR" RATNOG PISMA S POTPISOM ALENKE MIRKOVIĆ I GROZDANE CVITAN

Author(s): Miranda Levanat-Peričić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2016

This paper deals with the relationship of the wartime literature and the autobiographical discourse in the fictional and non-fictional texts written by two contemporary Croatian authoresses, Alenka Mirković and Grozdana Cvitan. From the receptional point of view, when the autobiographical discourse connects with the wartime themes, the importance of the social status of the author is substituted by the socially important topics, and the question of “who has the right to the story of his own life” (Velčić 1991) turns into a question of “what is a socially relevant theme?” Prevalence of topics that are important to collective memory in wartime literature is almost self-explanatory; this kind of topic is selected by Alenka Mirković in her Vukovar war chronicle 97.6 Mhz. Glasom protiv topova. Mala ratna kronika ((11996, 22011). While the novel written by Alenka Mirković meets the reader’s expectations by offering “autobiographical contract” (Ph. Lejeune) in which the name on the cover guarantees the identity of the author and the narrator, in short stories written by Grozdana Cvitan, Psi rata i druge bestije (2007), a war reality becomes awider framework of literary (self)reflection with an absence of documentarity. Although in her war stories there is no classic autobiographical contract (since there is no correspondence between the name of the author and narrator), the character of the narrator who listens leaving the others to become the main protagonists, guarantees an authentic cover for mediation of autobiographical testimony.

"Az Istennek könyve közönséges nyelven". Tanulmányok a bibliafordításról

Author(s): István Lanstyák / Language(s): Hungarian

This monograph is one of the results of more than twenty years of research, especially in the field of translation studies (traductology), but also partly in the field of language problem management and problem management in general, which gives this work an interdisciplinary character. The individual chapters of the monograph are based primarily on research that has taken place in the last eight years (since 2013), in which the author addressed both theoretical issues of translation of the New Testament and empirical research, the source of which was older and newer translations of the New Testament into Hungarian language and their revisions. In one of the chapters, the author also used the results of his research in the field of language problem management and problem management in general. The main theoretical goal of the author's research was and is to contribute to the application of the relevance theory developed by Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson in the 1980s to the translation of the Bible into Hungarian, but also to revisions of existing translations. An important aspect of this research is considering the problems of translation (more precisely the problems of the translation process, but also those of the perception of translation) as a management of language problems, based on the language management theory developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Jiří Neustupný and Björn Jernudd. The most important practical goal of the research was and is to provide technical assistance to translators and other professionals involved in the revision of older translations (especially, but not exclusively) of the Bible through the analysis of the management process or various translation solutions, and also to help ensure that newer translations, as well as revisions of older ones, are detached from traditional approaches based on either the so-called formal, or the so-called dynamic (functional) equivalence and approach the translations or revisions from the perspective of the relevance theory, using also relevant knowledge from the field of language problem management and various theories of problem management. The monograph consists of four thematic blocks. In the first, the author synthesizes his research in the field of language problem management and applies it to translation in general, with special regard to translation of the Bible. The second block is devoted to various translation issues of a theoretical nature. In the third block, the author deals with the most important and most recognized translation of the Bible into Hungarian, the translation of Gáspár Károli from 1590 and its subsequent revisions until the most recent one, which was published in 2011. The last thematic block deals with the issue of different types of translations of the Bible into Hungarian intended for different groups of readers, as well as with strategies for achieving diversity in the process of revising existing translations. The monograph also contains a preface, a bibliography and other references. The target audience of the monograph is both translation experts––traductologists and translators (not only of the Bible), as well as other experts who participate in the revision of existing translations. In addition, the monograph can also serve as additional teaching material for students of bachelor's, master's and doctoral translation studies. As the monograph combines a theoretical approach and practical issues in language problem management that occur in the translation process and the perception of translation, it can contribute to the improvement of new translations and revisions of the Bible into the Hungarian language.
