‘‘Миф жертвоприношения’’ в текстах русской и болгарской литератур

Author(s): Emine Inanır / Language(s): Russian Issue: 38/2018

This article is devoted to the study of the "myth of sacrifice" in a wide historical, cultural and mythological discourse, on the actual linguistic material of the texts of the Russian historical novel and Bulgarian literature of the 19th century. This approach provides an opportunity to identify the points of contact and intersection of the mythopoetics of individual national literary models in the context of the historical contact of cultures. Within the framework of precisely these parameters, we came to the consideration of the Russian historical novellas ’’About the grandeur of the reigning great city of Moscow, which will be conceived first’’ (XVII c.) and ’’Tales of the murder of Daniel Suzdal and the beginning of Moscow’’ (XVII c.), ’’The Tale of Tver’’ (XVII century) and the poem ’’The Source of the Belonogaya’’ (XIX c.), the founder of the Bulgarian realistic poetry Petko Slaveikov in the context of intertextual relations. The focus of our study also includes some definitions, which in our opinion are important from the point of view of the genealogy of "sacrifice" and "zamurovyvaniya" in the construction of a new city or new buildings. In the course of the work it was established that, because of the stratification of the semantic meanings of "sacrifice", "immolation" in the cultural-historical diachronic plan, the texts containing the above motives function in different contexts and cause different reflections inherent in each separate cultural. Within this framework, it was also established that "sacrifice" and "immolation" in the construction of a new city or new buildings is a rooted strategy of mythological thinking "in the spiritual mentality of both Russian and South Slavic peoples.

“I travel myself” – nomadic motives originating from the Balkans

Author(s): Darina Felonova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The article examines the special role of the journey - spiritual and physical, in three novels by immigrant authors from the Balkans: Paris-Athens by Vassilis Alexakis, Hotel Europe by Dumitru Tsepeneag and Murder in Byzantium by Julia Kristeva. Represented is the idea that, by leaving his motherland, the immigrant could never attach himself the same way to any place and be fully accepted in the new community. Thus, his constant movement appears as a peculiar reaction to this specific ‘uprooting’ and becomes a way of life and thinking – i.e. a modern ‘nomadism’.

“Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted”. Vladimir Bartol’s Novel “Alamut” – Belated Entry in the Modern Balkan Context

Author(s): Malamir Spasov / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

“Alamut” (1938) is a novel by Vladimir Bartol (1903 – 1967) – Slovene author from Trieste. It has been defined as both “marginal literature” and “brilliantly written work”. However, only in the 1980s and 1990s Bartol’s novel became the most internationally successful and bestselling work of Slovene literature, partly due to its strangely contemporary relevance. And yet there has been surprisingly little comparison between “one of the most original works of Slovene literature” and the modernistic literary creativity of contemporaries of Bartol’s generation elsewhere in Southeast Europe – for instance authors such as Bulgarian Boris Shivachev, Romanians Camil Petrescu, Anton Holban and Mircea Eliade, and even Serbian Miloš Crnjanski. Regrettably, “Alamut” is not translated in Bulgarian or Romanian yet. Apart from the fact that it is a gap which needs to be filled, such a juxtaposing seems to be quite alluring, loquacious and valuable. This study represents an attempt to commence similar comparison and to initiate a broader discussion between both extremities of the Balkans.

„Българските“ романи на Илия Троянов, Димитър Динев и Сибиле Левичаров – посредници на културната памет в дебата за близкото минало на България

Author(s): Snezhana Boycheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 19/2019

The book market in Bulgaria has been deluged with memoirs, memories, autobiographies and stories about the communist regime ever since 1989. A great number of the authors belong to the so called “nomenclature”, whose stories of the recent past fill the collective memory of a great part of the society, and this in practice makes this memory blocked by the usurped versions of the past because the narrative strategy in this case involves a focused selection or avoidance of the facts through euphemisms. On the other hand, the memories of the victims of communist regime are available – much less in number and in certain cases demonizing the system. Among the memories of the “executioners” and the memories of the victims abides the silence of “the little people” with their personal memories and individual stories of socialism, based on biographical data about the individual and the private path of socialization. Ilija Trojanow’s The world is big and salvation lurks around the corner, Dimiter Dineff’s Angel languages and Sybille Levitscharoff’s Apostoloff are novels, attempting to articulate this type of memories. Of special interest, in literary and oral personal stories, are the intersections between the "great history" of ideologies and the private versions of the experience in the individual stories. They provide information about the degree to which the public space has penetrated into the personal sphere, the everyday life of ordinary people, families, schools, the relationship between parents and children. They also show in what ways the narrative about the communist past nowadays influences the individual memory and the shared collective memory in the direction of idealizing, demonizing or marginalizing the past.

Translation into Russian language by R. Jinzifov ) from the point of view of the problem of literary reciprocity in Slavic literature. The generic features of the work are analyzed, which offers support for the idea of a common cultural mythological heritage of the Slavic peoples, in particular Bulgarian and Russian.

„Дъждовните“ визии в поезията на Атанас Далчев

Author(s): Stefka Karaivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2019

This article aims to interpret in a comparative aspect five Dalchev’s poetry, in which the leading image is the rain. The aim is to clarify the presence of “rainyness” as a poetic figure that defines the parameters of being as meaning, and which characterizes Atanas-Dalche‘s artistic reasoning and self-reliance. Interesting is the ambiguous sign that embodies the image of “rain” – death and birth, light and darkness, anxiety and consolation, poetically expressed with philosophical depth and awareness. It turns out that the rain is a “black mirror” in which the self-assimilation and self-acceptance of the human in the illusory search of the truth for the Other as availability and absence is carried out.

„Методика на езикознанието“ от Ст. Чакъров и М. Господинов в контекста на ранната методическа литература за обучение по роден език

Author(s): Ivan Cholakov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2015

This paper presents a publication, unexplored so far, which has an important place in the early methodical literature on the problems of language learning. The Methodology of Linguistics (1906, 1907) in two volumes by St. Chakarov and M. Gospodinov is a continuation of the Herbartian pedagogical and didactic concept that entered in our country as early the 1880s through the translation reception of Stjepan Basariček and for several decades it had dominant impact on the formation of methodical thought in the country. In this sense the Methodology under review is a milestone in the foundation of the methods of teaching Bulgarian language as a system of theoretical and practical-and-applied views, a major part of which are still relevant from the standpoint of modern scientifi c thought

ІНТЕРМЕДІАЛЬНІ ВИМІРИ ПРОЗИ ПАВЕЛА ВЕЖИНОВА

Author(s): Olena SAIKOVSKA / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1/2019

The article is dedicated to the problem of intermediality in the works of the Bulgarian writer of the second half of the twentieth century Pavel Vezhinov. The phenomenon of intermediality as a form of transgression outlines the integrating nature in the development of the contemporary arts and is challenging for literature. The aim of the article is to examine the variations of the interaction of verbal and visual (painting, coloristic and architectural models), verbal and audio (music that exists in the novel, and music that is a result of inspiration) and verbal and synthetic (cinema and theater) kinds of art. The object of the research are the texts written by Pavel Vezhinov - "The Blue Butterflies", "Barrier", "Night with the White Horses". The study reveals a terminology system that is used to analyze the phenomenon of intermediality, points out the works of the researchers and literary schools which develop the theoretical and practical approaches to intermediality. The analysis of the descriptions of visual arts enables the studying of picture-ekphrasis - the description and existence of the picture as a literary image, urboekphrasis – the city as the hero of the work, oikoekphrasis – a description of buildings as architectural artifacts. Musical ekphrasis is considered as a musical image existing in the text, but needs another participant / participants to voice it. It is revealed at several levels: the heroes are creators of music; music is a kind of accompaniment to their lives; Vezhinov's works are an inspiration for writing other musical pieces. To sum up, the variants of ekphrasis (picture-ekphrasis, urboekphrasis, oikoekphrasis, musical ekphrasis) and the interaction of verbal and audio, verbal and visual, verbal and synthetic arts in the works of Pavel Vezhinov prove to be very fruitful for the investigation of intermediality.

ЯВОРОВ И ТЕАТЪРЪТ РАЗШИРЯВАНЕ НА КУЛТУРНО-ИСТОРИЧЕСКОТО МУ НАСЛЕДСТВО – ДРАМАТУРГИЯ, ПРЕВОДИ, ТЕАТРАЛНА ДЕЙНОСТ

Author(s): Miroslava Kortenska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

This report is based on research of the dramaturgical, theatrical and critical work of P. K. Yavorov which has certainly broadened the real boundaries of his cultural and historic heritage that he left to Bulgaria, Europe and the world. The survey is based on elaborating a theatrical chronicle of each day of Yavorov’s life, as well as reading of protocols of the National Theatre in Sofia written by Yavorov himself. In 1908 Yavorov became an artistic secretary, director and translator at the National Theatre. After 1910 he dedicated himself to dramaturgy and wrote his drama masterpieces At the Foot of the Vitosha Mountain and When Thunder Strikes How the Echo Fades Away. The scientific analysis of his works and the documents has expanded the volume of Yavorov’s heritage, outlining his more valuable contribution to the new Bulgarian culture and adding to Yavorov’s eternal poetic heritage his contribution as a theatrical worker – a playwright, director, translator, theatre critic as well. Thus, Yavorov appeared as a builder of the important cultural institution in Bulgaria after the Liberation – the National Theatre. This research is a convincing evidence of his cultural and historic heritage and contribution not only to Bulgaria and its culture but to the European and world ones
