Poetičko iskustvo i William Shakespeare

Author(s): Shahab Khan Yar / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 69-70/2018

Pjesnici ne stvaraju jezike, nego jezici stvaraju pjesnike. Potka svih jezika je nepismenost. Književnost je sjajna nepismenost. Govorimo o jeziku kao načinu kojim se ljudi izražavaju, a književnost je najviši stupanj ljudskog izražavanja. Kada je Mahabharata stvorena od fonda riječi kojim u prosjeku raspolaže dijete, stvorena je legenda i određeni jezik postao je primjer izražavanja za ostatak čovječanstva. Popularna poezija, zapravo isključivo popularna poezija nosi sjeme najbolje moguće poezije. To je jedini razlog zašto su u svakom jeziku na svijetu najduže opstale narodne pjesme i usmena književnost koja se prenosila s jedne generacije na drugu.

Zavodljivi jezici – Krležina Saloma i vajldovski esteticizam

Author(s): Igor Medić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1-2/2017

The paper avoids interpreting Krleža’s play Salome (Saloma) through the usual lens of Krleža’s memoirs Bygone Days (Davni dani), or the author’s numerous claims about the meaning of the text. Instead, in the author’s ever-changing formulation of the final meaning of the text, the interpretation recognizes the same procedures that are used by Salome for seducing and manipulating men surrounding her in the play. Salome is a supreme orator in the play, always conscious of her use of language, of the repercussions of her speech and of the textuality of the world she inhabits. The paper suggests that a method for analysing the language of the play can be found in the discursive mechanisms of Oscar Wilde’s renowned play Salomé, as a prime example of the decadent use of language, although Wilde’s influence on Krleža’s play has mostly been disputed. The paper argues that the influence of Wilde’s aestheticism is not visible in the adoption of typical motifs, characters or plot, but in the autonomous and self-reflective language play in Krleža’s text.

ИСПИТИВАЊЕ РАЗЛИКА ИЗМЕЂУ ПЕСАМА У ПРОЗИ И КРАТКИХ ПРИЧА: ШТА КВАНТИТАТИВНО- КОРПУСНИ ПРИСТУП МОЖЕ ДА ПОНУДИ ИЗУЧАВАЊУ КЊИЖЕВНОСТИ

Author(s): Filip Nenadić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2016

Poems in prose are one of the genres that formed modern literature since symbolism by steady demolition of normative poetics. Poem in prose is a diffuse genre which shares common characteristics with several other genres, such as short stories, parables, or anecdotes, as well as showing high variability in characteristics within the genre. In an attempt to outline the traits of poems in prose, we compared them with traits possessed by short stories.

РИФAТEРОВО СХВAТAЊE ПОEЗИЈE

Author(s): Kornelije D. Kvas / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2006

The work of Michael Riffaterre has been crucial in the growth and change of literary studies. Professor Riffaterre, born and educated in France, came to the USA after World War II, and completed a Ph.D. thesis at Columbia University (1957). Before long, he became an essential gobetween: the key interlocutor between European formalism and American New Criticism, and the main proponent of French structuralism in the USA. His Essais de stylistique structurale (1971), challenging Jakobsonian poetics and Spitzerian stylistics, as well as literary history and New Criticism, cleared the way for reader-oriented theories. Riffaterre’s Semiotics of Poetry (1978) and its companion volume La Production du texte (1979) soon established firmly, including many concepts such as matrix, hypogram, descriptive system, expansion and conversion, syllepsis, to name but a few. With “La syllepse intertextuelle” (1979), intertextuality was introduced at the centre of literary interpretation.

ВAМПИР У КЊИЖЕВНОСТИ XX BEKA

Author(s): Marija Šarović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2008

The topic of this paper is the motive of vampire in the comparative analysis of several works (authors): Pekic’s sotie Kako upokojiti vampira (How to Quiet a Vampire), Matheson’s short novel I am Legend, Sergej Lukyanenko’s novel Night Watch and Boris Vian’s short story Drencula. The goal of the paper is to point to the less frequently studied aspects of the motive, with the stress on the ideological and subversive moments in the selected works, as well as to underline the problem of trivial literature in the works with the vampire motive.

ЛИРСКИ ЕЛЕМЕНТ БАЛАДЕ

Author(s): Srđan Bogosavljević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-3/2005

Овај рад критички анализира различита поимања „епског” , „драмског” , а посебно „лирског” у теоријима баладе на немачком говорном подручју. Он показује да се у њима удео „лирског” своди или на присуство формалних елемената као што су рима и рефрен, или на употребу средстава која стварају угођај, или на манифестације говорног става такозваног „лирског Ј а ” , у чијем је „доживљајном пољу” наводно укотвљена баладна радња. Злоупотреба конструкта званог „лирско Ј а ” , с једне стране, и произвољно омеђење „лирског простора” баладе, с друге стране, нису страни чак ни теоријама које инсистирају на доследном категоријалном одређењу тог жанра.

Un nouveau regard sur la trahison de Judas au XIIe siècle: Li Romanz de Dieu et de sa Mere d’Herman de Valenciennes

Author(s): Hélène Averseng / Language(s): French Issue: 21/2018

As far as we know, Li Romanz de Dieu et de sa Mere, written in the 12th century by Herman de Valenciennes, is the first abridged version of the Old French Bible. We believe that it is worth giving particular attention to the way Judas is represented here. Not only a biblical figure is interestingly turned into a literary figure, but new ideas on the fate of the character expressed in the text reveal a significant change in the interpretation of the biblical episode. Herman de Valenciennes builds Judas’ betrayal of Jesus on ambiguity that is entailed by hesitating on the demonization of the character, but also by the evolution and the hybridization of the literary devices. Judas’ treason, his repentance and suicide appear in a new light, which means reinterpreting the Scriptures and reviving the exegetical tradition.

Рецепција романа "Покоравање" Мишела Уелбека: невидљивост побеђеног универзитета

Author(s): Željko Milanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 161/2017

The reception of the novel Submission by Michel Houellebecq began even before its publication and was further stimulated by the terror attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine. Following this macabre event, it naturally pervaded from European into Serbian mass media. The media’s perception of the novel was then seamlessly perpetuated in the critical reviews. The majority of these reviews of Houellebecq’s novel focus on the bond between politics and religion, seeing that this interaction is – due to its controversy – an inexhaustible source of interest for mass media. Yet, in his visions of the near future, Houellebecq foretells a further entrenchment of the existing system rather than its radical negation or transformation,as pointed out throughout the novel, by the author himself.

Lumina care devorează lumea. Eseu despre orbire

Author(s): Helena Corogoda / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 20/2017

The metaphor of light inaugurated the discourse on human knowledge and understanding in Ancient Greece. On the other hand, the sacred books of Kabbalistic tradition contain, besides regular black letters, the white spaces between them and, of course, the whole reality. As a matter of fact, the whole reality is absorbed by Torah. The light emitted by white letters puts the Hassid reader, turned into a Hassid dreamer, in the possession of an understanding of the ultimate reality. But how can one compare oranges and apples? Light operates as the principle of a special kind of hermeneutics. The assertion is also accurate if it is translated in context of Saramago’s Blindness. The object of understanding is still reality, although not the same kind as the one above, which is reached with the help of dreams induced by reading. The reality here is discovered through a bright blindness which acts as the embodiment of a phenomenological mechanism, namely the husserlian eidetic reduction.The meaning of reality can also be gained from the vantage point of heideggerian phenomenology, as understanding one’s own being, in a world sharedwith others. Reality might differ, but light is, in any of these circumstances, a means of understanding.

Marcel Béalu: Fantastiqueur des fantasmes et réaliste du rêve

Author(s): Denis Moreau / Language(s): French Issue: 20/2017

The aim of the present work is to consider the articulation between dream and re- ality in the surrealist and phantasmagoric stories of Marcel Béalu. The process of representation, in the literary works of Marcel Béalu, is illustrative of a decon- struction of oppositions that reflects its problematic nature through the use of fantastic motifs, bold metaphors and neologisms. This poetic practice explores the border between reality and dream and, by doing so, induces a dynamics of trans- formation and deformation that textually dramatizes the narrator’s psyche, through an accumulation of inexplicable scenes, symbolic places, allegorical figures, tempo- ral paradoxes and narrative distortions. The combination between realist represen- tation and fanciful imagery creates a form of dreamlike mimesis, with fantastic and miraculous elements. The transgression of boundaries can be here considered a tool for conveying meaning, and a way of expressing the complex mechanisms of psychological life and dream activity through poetical language.

Електробиблиотека: од електрификације до ремедија(лиза)ције авангардних часописа

Author(s): Bojan Jović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 163/2017

The paper starts from the analysis of the specific status of avant-garde journals,similar in character to small journals, to highlight the most important problems /difficulties of studying avant-garde periodicals. It points at the views of El Lissitzky expressed in the 1923 manifesto “Topography of the typography”, formulating the need to overcome the printed surface and postulating the term “electro-library”. It then describes and analyzes the assumptions and features of the most important Internet libraries of avant-garde magazines, including examples from Serbian and regional domains. El Lissitzky's ideas are linked to remediation theory, to point out the need for the “second digital remediation” which would transform the physical characteristics, appearance and content of avant-garde magazines into true digital objects.

L’«espace balsamique» dans le roman Paul et Virginie de Bernardin de Saint-Pierre

Author(s): Petruța Spânu / Language(s): French Issue: 14/2014

A new sensitivity appears in the eighteenth century, which pushes the elites, maddened by the urban miasma, to seek a purer atmosphere in the parks or the mountains near lakes or the sea, even in the utopias that sometimes gather all. In the novel Paul et Virginie (1788) by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, the Parisian metropolis and the tropical island are opposed not only as morality (corruption vs vertu), but also as space (malodorous vs “balsamic”).

Arome şi simbol în universul poetic minulescian. O analiză textual-discursivă

Author(s): Mihaela Munteanu Siserman / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 14/2014

The approach proposed through the textual-discursive analysis of some samples selected from Ion Minulescu’s poetic universe (especially the Romanţe [Romances] series) aims at highlighting elements expressed in the world of signs, which conveys different cultural connotations (the study achieves a short history of perfume and the influence of perfume houses on Romanian poetic space: for instance, the line from a poem by Minulescu “Here is why I love Rosine”, which refers directly to the French perfume house Guerlain). The devices employed to express different textual networks (as they are defined in the model of iceberg texts) – networks that may be of an intonational-melodious kind (identified on the level of rhythm, refrain, and so on) or of an intertextual one (realised by means of direct citation or indirect allusions) – overlap and/or blend with the synesthetic effects in which various sensations (olfactory, colourful, and aural) “communicate” on the affective level and contribute to the construction of meaning.

Alternative Canons in Popular Literature

Author(s): Péter H. Nagy,József Keserű / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2018

The starting point of the study is the conflict between classical (academic) and alternative canon. Some prominent texts of speculative fiction can notably stage this conflict (as a possible textual strategy) by confronting us with the experience that mainstream literature and popular registers are inseparable. The reading of these texts can prove that the aesthetical canon is not equivalent to cultural elitism. In contemporary literature, some works of speculative fiction – works of science fiction and fantasy in particular – support this idea. The study – by reading of David Gemmell’s Troy Series and Dan Simmons’s Hyperion Cantos – exemplifies that the principle of innovation does not necessarily destruct the existing canon, but it integrates itself into the canon while rearranging it. The works of Gemmell and Simmons employ such poetical and rhetorical techniques that are able to modify the system of expectations created by the evoked genres (mythological fantasy and new space opera) and also lead us to reconsider the classical literary canon. They both indicate that the artificially created cultural hierarchy can be set in motion by rereading the works of popular literature.

Literary Cartographies of Timişoara

Author(s): Teodora-Ecaterina Dancău / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Reading the text has been a form of reading the city¸ said Richard Lehan in his study, The City in Literature. An Intellectual and Cultural History. The literature written in the last hundred years in Timișoara reveals various literary cartographies of this marginocentric cultural node of Central Europe. Its history reveals its multicultural dimension: Timișoara and the Banat region came successively under the Turkish (1552-1718), Austrian (1718-1778), Hungarian (1778-1849), Austrian (1849-1867) and Dual Monarchy control ( 1867-1919), before becoming part of Romania in 1919. Under these historical circumstances, several cultural directions interplayed in this area, creating a sort of melting pot in which the concept of identity redefined itself by following the rules of intercultural communication. Several writers who were born here or who came to see and to live in this city after 1919 reveal other sides of it by mapping its reality in very subjective perspectives which complete the historical view.

Re-Shaping Identities in Don Delillo’s Falling Man

Author(s): Carmen Dominte / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

As a trauma novel, Don DeLillo’s Falling Man deals with the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, revealing the effects that such an event had not only on people who were directly affected, but also on the nation itself. Exposed to a dreadful tragedy, most of the characters become victims whose experiences of time, self and the world were disrupted. The personal and collective consciousness was painfully injured causing an emotional anguish that led to great changes in the community’s sense of identity. The present paper intends to illustrate the iconic relationship between traumatic memory and narrative memory as a basis for the re-enactment, repetition and symbolization to become substitutes for a “frozen” identity in the intention of restoring the traumatized self and to function as psychological and literary strategies.

Psychoanalytische und Interkulturelle Aspekte in Virginia Woolfs Orlando

Author(s): Roxana Ilie / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2016

In meiner Arbeit werde ich Virginia Woolfs Gebrauch der freudschen und jungschen Psychoanalyse und Psychopathologie analysieren, um auf die Abgründe des menschlichen Verstands Licht zu werfen. Weil sie sowohl Carl Gustav Jungs Archetypen anwendet, als auch das Motiv des Traums in ihrem Werk verarbeitet, schafft Woolf die geeignete Umwelt für die Lebensentwicklung ihrer Figuren. Das Motiv der Androgynie steht im Mittelpunkt in Orlando, was zur Trübung der Hauptfigur beiträgt. Das Vorhandensein eines Mandala rahmt das ganze Dasein von Orlando ein, und der Kontakt mit verschiedenen Kulturen hebt umso mehr seine Geisteswirrung und - störungen hervor.In der fortdauernden gegenwärtigen internationalen territorialen Mobilität mit dem Fremdenstatus wirksam und richtig umzugehen ist mit der Zeit ein wichtiger Aspekt der Weltgesellschaft geworden. Ausgesehen davon, ob man sich als Dritter, als Fremder in einer neuen unbekannten Kultur befindet, oder ob man die Rolle des Einheimischen, des kulturellen Reiseführers und Vermittlers für Individuen mit einer anderen Staatsangehörigkeit übernimmt, prägen interkulturelle Erfahrungen die Ich-Identität eines Einzelnen entweder positiv oder negativ. Die Bedeutung der Übernahme einer wirkungsvollen interkulturellen Verhaltensweise und der Beseitigung der Kenntnislosigkeit mit Bezug auf den Dialog zwischen den Kulturen verlangen eine kulturorientierte Anschneidungsweise der zwischenmenschlichen Kommunikation außerhalb der Grenzen des eigenen Kulturkreises.

The Tumultuous Transition from Modernism to Postmodernism. Fictional Representations

Author(s): Felix Nicolau / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Lucky Jim, 1954, by Kingsley Amis, is considered by everyone an extremely funny academic novel; a novel of the genre. A third millennium close reading may uncover, however, side-meanings at the time of publication which, in the meantime, have become central meanings. The humoristic ingredient of the novel has dwindled dramatically, whereas the underestimated conflict between modernist rituals and postmodernist reactions has spiralled upwards.

Métamorphoses fantastiques. Des êtres aquatiques de Maurice Carême et d’Anne Richter

Author(s): Renata Bizek-Tatara / Language(s): French Issue: 3/2018

This article focuses on the aquatic element in two fantastic Belgian texts: Médua by Maurice Carême and La Grande pitié de la famille Zintram by Anne Richter, to study different functions: first, the aquatic space evokes the geography of mist and rain of Flanders, mythical land where everything can happen and around which floats an aura of mystery. The role of this location is twofold : it creates both the effect of reality and the fantastic effect. Water also has a diegetic function. Tainted with negative value, it has a negative influence on the characters: it triggers or promotes their metamorphosis and their decay.
