Formy powrotu (do pisania). Powiedzmy… Alejandro Zambra

Author(s): Arkadiusz Żychliński / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article starts with the striking observation that the writing of Alejandro Zambra, a distinctive contemporary Chilean writer of the middle generation, can be treated both as a string of intriguing experiments sounding various ways of (a personal going back to) writing, and as a convenient frame of reference to discuss the notion of the progress in literature. Accordingly, a comprehensive analysis of Zambra’s literary work intertwines with questions concerning the spectrum of literary innovations, the conditions of the possibility of producing new narrative dispositives, the limitations of formal inventiveness, and the regulative function of the cognitive value added.

Pohádkové příběhy v české literatuře pro děti a mládež (1990–2010)

Author(s): Milena Šubrtová / Language(s): English,Czech Publication Year: 0

It is not possible to describe the position and the form of fairy tale in the Czech literature for children and youth of the past two decades without returning to transformations of the Czech literary scene immediately after 1989. The 1990s in the Czech literature for children and youth were a turbulent period influenced by social changes brought about byde–monopolization and fragmentation of publishing activities and also by the chance of open confrontation with the international book production featuring top as well as trivial and utilitarian works. The new national production of that period remained in the shadow of edition returns to the time–tested books from the golden collection of the Czech literature and also returns to the banned authors of the previous period. Quantitatively, catchy translations prevailed on the book market.

Author(s): Jitka Zítková / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The chapter Ozvuky čtvrtkovské poetiky v pohádkách Emila Šalounaa Jaromíra Kincla [Resonance of Čtvrtek’s poetics in fairy tales by Emil Šaloun and Jaromír Kincl] deals with distinct motif and language features of their texts. She analyzes similarities and differences in their work – having a lot of common features – where we do not find only similar heroes but also books that stand outside the “Čtvrtekian” tradition of modern fairy tale due to their distinctive updating character and situational comicality.

Autorské pohádkové knihy Petra Nikla a Františka Skály

Author(s): Martin Reissner / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The experimental Czech fairy tale includes some books by the artist, theatre author, musician and writer, Petr Nikl. Despite the fact that in the recent years the literary quality of his texts has not increased he still remains an important figure in the area of the modern original fairy tale. Similarly, the fairy tales by the painter, graphic, conceptual artist and writer, František Skála, are aimed at readers and fans of his multi-media works as a whole. In comparison with Nikl he fascinates readers with his ability to find and emphasize aesthetic qualities in ordinary and banal connections, stories and artifacts while originally dealing with the natural environment at the formal (artistic) as well as the story-telling (literary) level. Both the writers are dealt with by Martin Reissner in the chapter Autorské pohádkové knihy Petra Nikla a Františka Skály [Original fairy talebooks by Petr Nikl and František Skála].

Жабокът и девиците

Author(s): Valeri Stefanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The main goal of the text is to offer a reading of Patrick Susskind’s novel Perfume through the philosophy of George Bataille and to show how the erotic experience is constructed into the text. This could help to give an answer to the question of how the power, body strength and authority are presented as a solid and unbreakable connection into the plot with the eroticism and the problem of the death.

Писатели мигранти

Author(s): Amelia Licheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

How do contemporary writers that we associate with the migrant wave in modern world literature write about the other? Why do they emphasize on the exotic? Do they believe in the possible encounter of cultures? These are only some of the questions this text attempts to answer, working on texts of authors as Sandra Cisneiros, Jhumpa Lahiri, Ornella Vorspi and Mohsin Hamid.

Новата класика на "Двойник" на Ф. М. Достоевски: Машини, поети и насекоми

Author(s): Maya Gorcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

In the monography “After the end of classics” Rakyovsky argues that Dostoevsky’s Double (“Dvoynik”) and Mandelstam’s Egyptian stamp (“Egipetskaya marka”) discard traditional narrative and put forward the paradigms of splintering, madness, terror. The article highlights the new anthropology in Dostoevsky’s works by the figures of machines, poets and insects (vermin, bug). As an alternative of the poet, Dostoevsky’s plots put in play the figures of (male) novel writing and (female) book editing and managing. All together with the tragic, the author elaborates the category of comic absurd in the margins of folly, nonsense and object.

The Rogue and the Hooligan: Two Cultural Patterns in Dialogue

Author(s): Adina Ciugureanu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The present paper aims at discussing the two cultural types, the rogue and the hooligan, not only as representative of a certain historical time, but also, and especially, as figures defining a specific typology in mainstream and popular literature. The so-called “loveable” rogue, a low-class character who impresses the reader through his selfless quest for an ideal in the seventeenth-, eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century picaresque novel is resurrected in the twentieth century in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, Iris Murdoch’s Under the Net, among others, while becoming an “anti-rogue”, I argue, in Lucky Jim and Hurry on Down. Meanwhile, the hooligan (from the Irish “hooley” or “hoolihan”), an unruly, anti-social young man, born in the late nineteenth-century England, becomes both the destructive person in popular sports and the alter-ego for the wondering Jew in fictional texts, such as Mihail Sebastian’s How I Became a Hooligan and Norman Manea’s The Hooligan’s Return. The talk is intended to find ways in which dialogism functions with the various types of rogue and hooligan and to discuss the hooligan type as a possible replacement for the rogue in recent exilic literature.

Usmena književnost u povijestima hrvatske književnosti

Author(s): Nikola Sunara / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Oral literature exists as long as humankind. Through history, that kind of literature was known as folk, anonymous, folklore, traditional, peasant (during the reign of Croatian Peasant Party). Oral literature is the tradition of written literature. In the past, oral literature was often given more attention than the written, and sometimes it was neglected. A great interest in folk literature emerged in the Renaissance period. Michel de Montaigne was enthusiastic about folk poetry and since his time term folk literature has been in use. The oral literature has reached its peak of popularity during the Romanticism. Approach to the oral literature in Croatian histories of literature is fourfold. Some literary historians barely mention it in their histories. Others speak of it peripherally when dealing with, for example, Petar Hektorović, Ivan Gundulić, Andrija Kačić Miošić, and many others. Some literary historians write about both oral (folk) and written literature in their histories of literature. The final approach is by those authors who have written histories of oral (folk) literature. Some literary historians have written histories of oral literature. Maja Bošković-Stulli in collaboration with Divna Zečević dedicated the first book of 1978 edition Povijest hrvatske književnosti: u sedam knjiga to the oral literature. In that history, the authors wrote about folk literature alongside the oral. In 1990 Tvrtko Čubelić published a monograph Povijest i historija usmene narodne književnosti. Marko Dragić published Poetika i povijest hrvatske usmene književnosti in 2008 and Stipe Botica published Povijest hrvatske usmene književnosti in 2013.

Les traducteurs dans la littérature québécoise

Author(s): Jean Delisle / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

Nombreux sont les écrivains d’expression française au Canada qui ont trouvé dans la pratique de la traduction un moyen de subsistance connexe à l’écriture originale. "Nos écrivains, constate Pierre Baillargeon, exercent tous un métier parallèle; ils sont avocats, médecins, traducteurs, prêtres" (Baillargeon 1944, 53). Dans Les médisances de Claude Perrin, il écrit: "Manger ou ne pas manger, là est la question. Je soutenais que, pour l’écrivain, il y a toujours de la vache enragée, le petit emploi [...]" Baillargeon 1973, 118). À ses yeux, le métier de traducteur était un petit emploi. Les écrivains québécois ne sont pas différents des autres, cependant. Chateaubriand, par exemple, a pu assurer sa subsistance à Londres grâce à des travaux de traduction. Émile Littré a travaillé comme traducteur au National, un grand journal libéral où il traduisait des articles de la presse allemande ou anglaise. Ce sont deux exemples parmi tant d’autres

Poznámky ke komparativní poetice

Author(s): Zdeněk Hrbata / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Starting with a reflection on one part of Cervantes’ novel (Part I, Chapter 18 – Don Quixote describes what he sees: imaginary knights and their coats-of-arms or armours), this paper traces the possibilities of interrelationship between different kinds of arts as they appear in historical poetics and aesthetics. It mentions main tendencies in interdisciplinary and semiotics (intersemiotics) studies from the 18th century to the contemporary period. Besides the intermediality or transmediality, e.g. their projects of semiotics macromodes, we propose as a considerable and constant possibility for comparative poetics (and according to Jan Mukařovský) the comparison of themes considered, in the words of Gérard Genette, as generic essences.

Киркегор и Достоевски - Pro et Contra

Author(s): Nikolay Neychev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The work deals with the elucidation of the temporal problems (the questions of Chronos, Kairos and Eternity) in the worldview concepts of Kierkegaard and Dosto evsky. The text argues that the two authors are of the same mind only with regard to the detrimental effect of prophanic time (chronos) on human existence. But they are full antagonists on the issue of how the kairotic moment transforms meaningless time into the fullness of Divine Eternity. According to Kierkegaard, this is only possible through a vague revelation of man's inner subjectivity, while for Dostoev sky this is impossible to achieve without the act of divine incarnation, that is, with out the visible iconic presence of the Divine Person.

"С елените и дунавските лебеди": история и колективна психика

Author(s): Xavier Galmiche / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Released in 1817 and 1818, the Manuscripts of Zelená Hora and Hradec Králové in Bohemia are part of the literary mystifications whose vogue spread across Europe from the end of the eighteenth century. They remain until today the most often pre sented among the Czech literary corpus: this exceptional reception extends for over a hundred and fifty years. Among the philologists and scholars who first devoted texts of modest but decisive scope to them, the French poet and Romantic thinker Edgar Quinet brings a comparative perspective in his article “From the Epic of the Bohemi ans” (1831). This essay proposes to read this early chapter of the French reception of modern Czech literature as an example of historiography based on analogy and empa thy. It is indeed possible to understand these early analyses in the context of the “pre history” of French comparative literature, philosophically influenced by Vico, Herder and the French Ideologues and initiated by Claude Fauriel, but also in a subjective understanding of the history in which Quinet includes his own experience of the Napo leonic wars: an individual and collective psychoanalysis?

Of Words and Water

Author(s): David Jenkins / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

To honor Professor Cholakova on the occasion of her 60th birthday, I am happy to contribute this study of some fifteen pages, which I call “Of Words and Water.” This essay touches on many of the areas suggested in the invitation for the Fest schrift: aesthetic, psychological, philosophical, and spiritual problems and their provisional mythopoetic solutions, in exemplary poems by two French symbolist poets – “Invitation to the Voyage” by Charles Baudelaire and “The Drunken Boat” by Arthur Rimbaud – and “The Idea of Order at Key West” by Wallace Stevens, and refers the understanding of archetype, as developed by Carl Gustav Jung and Northrop Frye, to comments by the poets themselves, and to other scholarly insights. The “academic excursus” is introduced by a personal and general introduction.
