"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.

"Slovenski" i "hrvatski" kao zamjenjivi nazivi za jezik hrvatske književnosti

Author(s): Radoslav Katičić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 4/1988

In this paper a documentation is presented on the basis of which is shown that from the beginnings of the Croatian branch of the СупПо-Methodian tradition its language is accordingly called "slovenski". Later in the Middle Ages this name became interchangeable with "hrvatski". This was transferred to the literature whose language was based on the vernacular. With certain variations in space and time this interchangeability remained in vigour until the end of the 18th century. It determines one particular literary body in the Slavic complex: the Croatian Literature and its language.

(Dis)Regarding History: Slavenka Drakulić’s and Dubravka Ugrešić’s Female Voices from Croatia

Author(s): Vlatka Velčić / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

My essay will explore two female writers from Croatia, Slavenka Drakulić and Dubravka Ugrešić, in the light of the context outlined above. Both women represent rare female voices that were present in Croatian (and the former Yugoslavian) public life before the 1990s. They both continued to publish through the Civil Wars and their aftermath. My essay will specifically focus on the two most recent novels of these authors, Drakulić’s “S.: A Novel about the Balkans” and Ugrešić’s “The Museum o f Unconditional Surrender”, which reveal two different strategies in the fictionalization of female voices. Drakulić’s “S.”, about a Bosnian woman who gives birth as a result of rape, focuses on and attempts to recreate a ‘testimonio of a ‘real life’ victim. In her autobiographical, experimental novel, The Museum of Unconditional Surrender, Ugrešić manages not only to preserve the complexity of the women’s perspectives but also incorporates a meta-narrative of the postcolonial condition of exile.

(Ne)sretan kraj

Author(s): Ivana Pintarić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 3/2018

Tog je dana Tanatos, bog smrti, pratitelj mrtvih duša u podzemlje, k tome zgođušan momak s bradom i mačem u ruci, pred ogledalom vježbao strog izraz lica. To mu je dio imidža, kao i crna krila na leđima koja je bio dao raščešljati i namazati voskom prije odrađivanja još jednog posla. Nedavno je Tanatos izbacio leptira, jednog od svojih zaštitnih znakova, iz svog autfita. Umjesto toga radije je nosio baklju. Jednostavno je izgledalo muževnije. Tanatos je bio po naravi pesimist, njemu je baklja bila uvijek napola ugašena. Ipak, tog dana pred ogledalom odlučio je malo se opustiti, ne biti uvijek tako krut. Pokušao se čak i nasmiješiti. Tako, i bi dobro. [...]

5 Books From Croatia

Frequency: irregular and other / Country: Croatia

The project 5 Books from Croatia is part of a new push to promote Croatian literature in a more methodical and transparent way. ‘Small’ literatures have always been less visible in the English-speaking world, trailing behind translations from German, French and Spanish. To date, English editions of Croatian authors have been the result of individual endeavours and the passion of a small number of translators and publishers with a special interest in translated literature.

But while ‘big’ languages have a tradition of systematically promoting books, such as the leading publications 10 Books from Holland and New Books in German, Croatian literature is still terra incognita to most publishers, editors and the broad reading public. This is hardly surprising because well-translated, representative excerpts from the best Croatian titles are neither cheap nor easy to come by.

That is why we have decided to launch 5 Books from Croatia – a publication with a clear editorial conception that once per year will present four contemporary authors and one classic, a ‘forgotten gem’. The aim of the booklet is to highlight Croatian authors whose works radiate features of the country’s culture and literature but at the same time possess a timeless and universal human quality. Sizeable excerpts (around 5,000 words each) give a vivid impression of the rich and exciting climate in Croatian literature today.

Each of the four modern, prize-winning authors brings stylistic and genre-specific innovations to the treatment of classical themes such as wars and other historical turning points, or the relationship of the individual and society.

0 Zdravko Zima A čiji sam to ja Uobičajena je pretpostavka, ili predrasuda, da pisac svoju karijeru počinje stihovima da bi se kasnije, u »ozbiljnijim« godinama, priklonio i drugim žanrovima. Kako se Tahir Mujičić nikada nije uozbiljio, barem ne na način koji propisuju pedagoški gnjavatori, tako je i njegov put bio drukčiji, o čemu dovoljno svjedoči njegova biografija i njegova bibliografija.

Author(s): Iva Rosanda Žigo,Ivan Krznarić / Language(s): English / Issue: 14-15/2019

The authors present one of the ways that dramatic creativity is encouraged and promoted in the Republic of Croatia, namely the competition for the Marin Držić Award, which was introduced by the Croatian Ministry of Culture in 1991. The authors are particularly interested in the manner and extent to which women, that is, authors and playwrights, are represented in the arena of contemporary trends in national theatrical and dramatic creativity.
