In the article is considered the problem for the place of literary criticism, history and theory in literary studies.

For this purpose is given a meaning to the anthological and critical thinking of Pencho Slaveykov in ‘On the Isle of the Blessed’ and in the essay of Dimcho Debelyanov ‘About an old song’, poses the problem for dedication to the art.

Itinéraires européens dans la géographie littéraire bulgare : Sofia – Paris

Author(s): Margarita Serafimova / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2017

At the beginning of the 20th century, Paris was the home of art, the intellectual capital of Europe, and the scene of the art of living. Among the many foreign artists and writers, Bulgarians formed an important colony. For these young artists who landed in the French capital, it was synonymous with celebration and freedom. The attractiveness of Paris, its cosmopolitanism, and the special place the City of Light occupied in Bulgarian imagination played the role of a catalyst for their creative talent. Their wanderings served as a bridge between the East and the West of a Europe, which had always been both united and torn between its centres and peripheries. Fascinated, dazzled, hypnotised by the brilliance of Paris as well as by its decay, Bulgarian writers lived the quest for identity – literary, existential, human – whose meanderings have been examined in this article.

Ève nouvelle. Observations sur le roman européen moderne de l’entre-deux-guerres

Author(s): Aglika Popova / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2017

Within the scope of this article, examples from Bulgarian and Romanian literature, which are representative of Balkan literatures, have been used as the subject of a comparative study alongside examples from French literature. The thematic framework of the Biblical creation myth, and in particular the figure of Eve, allow for the identification of common perspectives. Ever since the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, humankind has been following the preordained path of mortality. However, the Biblical narrative does not end with the fall of man. The Savior's birth atones for the first woman’s sin of disobedience, and the Virgin Mary becomes the New Eve, mother of the living. Modern representations of Eve require a change of scene as the common sacred time setting is reversed to actual reality, where the character building is done through the issue of assurance of salvation. The New Eve takes on the characteristics of a fugitive and a murderess. Based on the cited body of works by Tchavdar Moutafov, Anna Kamenova, Liviu Rebreanu, and Mircea Eliade, this is the point where we begin to single out the contemporary messages of the European novel. The French writers who have been selected as object of comparison are François Mauriac and Jean Giraudoux.

Читателят екран. Постмодерната знаковост в разказа „Царамбука“ от Йордан Радичков

Author(s): Ivan Velchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

The short story “Carambuka”, written by Radichkov, exemplifies the notion of text as a complex construction, in which are included paratext, intertext, author and reader. Postmodern effort to estimate critically the relationship between language and reality, this literary work appraises prescribed models of reading and writing. In a deconstructivist manner it outlines and dismantles a series of oppositions, restores forgotten ways of sensemaking. As an example of the open work conception Radichkov’s “Carambuka” makes a reader as an open structure that brings text to life.

Author(s): Tatyana Ichevska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 01/2017

In the very center of the attention in the present text is the view point, presented by Georgi Stamatov, about the war (as) a disease, that somehow infects the generic blood and causes the destruction of a given family and nationality. Meanwhile an attempt the so called dialogue between “Little Sodom” and “Insanity” by G. Raychev, to be decoded will be done. In the both texts the main motive is the action of returning back home.And when “Insanity” is based on the refusal to come back home, “The Little Sodom”by Stamatov makes its longing and turning into reality the main topic of the story.

Българската история и липсващият литературен разказ за нея

Author(s): Dora Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 01/2017

According the famous researcher Boyan Nichev, the typological relief of the Bulgarian novel can be placed on three historic 'summits, 'as it were: the April Uprising, the September Uprising and the Ninth of September. Each of these highest points of historical activity of the masses leads of the rise of the novel. These highest points produce national masterpieces of their time, which have today become classics, but they are part of a long road toward approval in the Bulgarian literary canon. But outside the literary canon remain topics and events that prose does not tackle, and thus they fail to become a peak of our national history for different reasons. These are the focus of my text – an attempt to find “the new big story” of Bulgarian literature looking in Refugees by Vesela Lyahova.

„Септември ще бъде...” онлайн, или дигиталните преображения на „хартиения” текст

Author(s): Ivan Velchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 01/2017

Iser’s conception of the implied reader allows us to understand more about reading opportunities, provided by technology since – by defining the reader as a disposition resulting from networks of text meanings – this notion allows their integration in the textures of the Net afterwards. As a conjunction of culture and technology, digitized text actually poses problem of bringing these together, of the cultural consequences of the encounter between digital and print culture. It is difficult to say whether this encounter refutes big postmodern myths, or proves them right, but this answer will undoubtedly affect the destiny of the text.

Българистичните четения в Сегед – празник за българистиката

Author(s): Elena Krejchova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 01/2017

ОТНОШЕНИЕТО ЦЕНТЪР – ПЕРИФЕРИЯ/ЕВРОПЕЙСКИ ЗАПАД – ЕВРОПЕЙСКИ (ЮГО)ИЗТОК КАТО МОТИВ В ПРОЗАТА НА АВТОРИ-МИГРАНТИ ОТ БАЛКАНИТЕ

Author(s): Darina Felonova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

The paper analyses the writing of three authors who emigrated from the Balkans and settled in France in 1960s and 1970s. – Vassilis Alexakis (of Greek descent), Dumitru Tsepeneag (of Romanian descent) and Julia Kristeva (of Bulgarian descent). It aims to present the intermediate position of these immigrant authors in Western European environment in regard to the constituent components of their new identity – an intermediate position that allows them to examine the processes simultaneously from the “outside” and the “inside” and to generate bidirectional interpretations and literary images. The issues are further compounded by the inherent “crossroad” and “transitory” geopolitical characteristics of the Balkans, often thought of as a border region between the East and the West. From this point of view, the immigrant authors from the Balkan region appear to have a very complex existence, in which two kinds of duality intertwine – the one imposed by migration, and the other imposed by the “marginalization” and “uncertainty” of the Balkans when it comes to their European status. Because of these peculiarities, the three writers construct in their novels a variety of models for imagining the “native” and the “foreign”, the centre (European West) and the periphery (European Southeast), and the Other.
