Bilježnica ili Kvaderna senjskog kaptola iz 17. stoljeća

Author(s): Mile Bogović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2019

In the Bishop’s archive in Senj there is a handwritten book of the income of the Senj Chapter from the 17th century. It is written in Glagolitic italic and Latin scripts. In the book can be followed the social and ecclesiastical conditions in this diocesan town at the time when the Senj-Modruš bishop lived in the free part of the Modruš diocese, and the Senj diocese belonged to one (Senj)parish which was governed by the Chapter. At the end of the same century, Senj as a diocesan centre would grow in importance because the bishop returned to it, and his jurisdiction would extend over the wider area which was liberated from the Turks.

Poetika Ivanjske noći Josipa Cvrtile u svjetlu književnopovijesne, književnokritičke i književnoteorijske literature

Author(s): Vladimira Rezo / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 02/2023

As a consequence of the forcing of realist writers in children’s literature which he was not, and as a result of his absence from Croatia, the targeted concealment of his name and works due to the Christian spirit that permeated them, as well as due to his voluntary vow of silence in emigration, Josip Cvrtila is not in the focus of modern readers. The analysis of the author’s literary debut, the collection Ivanjska noć [Midsummer Night] (1922), shows Cvrtila as an anticipator of several postmodernist processes. In the realistic fairy-tale matrix, the author mixes major literary forms, genres (poetry and prose) and prose subgenres (fairy tales, fables, legends, and short stories), plays with the laws of genres, is self-referential in places, introduces real recipients into the fabric of the story (two little neighbours, Ivo and Ančica), and sometimes recounts the circumstances of the reception of certain stories (their oral presentations that preceded the version in the collection) and reveals the sources of other stories. This genre and subgenre hybrid flirts with intertextuality, brings metatextuality into focus, and announces the insatiable need of new poetics to expose the narrative process.

Božidar Violić – kazališni erudit među postgavelijancima

Author(s): Ana Lederer / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 135-136/2024

Sljedbenici umjetničkog, pedagoškog i teorijskog naslijeđa Branka Gavelle, nakon njegove smrti 1962. afirmiraju se kao redateljska generacija postgavelijanaca (Vladimir Habunek, Mladen Škiljan, Kosta Spaić, Dino Radojević, Georgij Paro i Božidar Violić, a četvorica među njima ističu kratkotrajno deklarativno zajedništvo poznato pod pojmom redateljskog kartela (Spaić, Radojević, Paro i Violić). Među njima se pak izdvajaju Paro i Violić, govoreći i pišući potonjih desetljeća u različitim prigodama i kontekstima o Gavellinoj redateljskoj i pedagoškoj metodi rada te utjecajima na vlastiti redateljski pristup, naposljetku ih zaokruživši u nizu svojih nezaobilaznih teatroloških knjiga o kazalištu. U radu se pokazuje kako su one ključne za rekonstrukciju njihovih redateljskih poetika utemeljenih u Gavellinoj Akademiji dramske umjetnosti, ali Violićeve knjige Lica i sjene i Isprika izdvojeno se analiziraju između ostaloga i s obzirom na njegovu iscrpnu analizu Gavellina redateljskog načina rada u praksi.

The author comments her personal acquaintances and friendships with Bulgarian artists and intellectuals, her literary translations and her attitude to the dissident culture in the 1960’s of the 20th century.

Епистоларният архив на Весна Парун в България и неговите хоризонти

Author(s): Katya Zografova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 31/2023

The article explores the correspondence of the Croatian poetess with her friends in Bulgaria – distinguished artists and intellectuals with whom she built relationships in the 1960’s years of the 20th century during her so-called ‘Bulgarian period’ that marked her life and creative path. The biggest part of her preserved epistolary archive comprises her letters addressed to Vely Chaushev and Radoy Ralin. The letters written by Vesna Parun are an authentic source revealing her psychological portrait, her fateful obsession with literature – quite different from the typical human rhythm. The intimate correspondence constructs a solid, multi-colorful and multi-layered image of the poetess – so impressive as well as her work warmly acclaimed in the whole world.

Ex Ponto – tri putopisne razglednice Vesne Parun

Author(s): Sanja Knežević / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 31/2023

In the work “Ex Ponto – three travel postcards of Vesna Parun”, three travelogue postcards of Vesna Parun are interpreted in which she discusses her stay in Bulgaria. These are the travelogues „More bez sunčevih zalazaka”, „Djevojčica i vjetar” and „Probuđeni bakrorez” published in the book of selected Works of Vesna Parun „Nedovršeni mozaik” in 1990. In the paper, these travelogues are defined as travel postcards (Duda, 1996) and the dominant thematic-motive sequence as well as the stylistic procedures of each travelogue are interpreted separately. The travelogues are also contextualized in Parun’s prose discourse with regard to their mosaic composition and lyrical-reflexive determinants.

България в пътеписите на Весна Парун

Author(s): Antoaneta Balcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 31/2023

The article sheds light on Vesna Parun’s meetings with Bulgaria, reflected in her travelogues. Her works are seen as a cultural text that accompanies her entire life and opens up new possibilities for interpreting her attitude towards “otherness”, personal and community self-representations. The poet’s journey is interpreted as a mental construction in which the dialogue about borders and identities, about overcoming time and space, about its physical and metaphysical dimension, about escape and return are intertwined. The fruit of her deep self-reflection and philosophical insights, her contact with Bulgarian topos, artists, historical and cultural realities is perceived as an ontological route, which is the basis for creative inspiration and a condition for spiritual resurrection.

Paratekst u zbirci Vesne Parun „Bubnjevi umjesto srca”

Author(s): Мirko Čurić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 31/2023

Vesna Parun is an author with a strong awareness of the importance of paratext, which includes, among others, the title, cover, author’s name, epigraphs, annotations, dedications, reviews, interviews, prefaces, afterwords, different types of notes... This paper is an introduction to studying the role of paratext in her poetry book “Bubnjevi umjesto srca” (DHK, Zagreb 2003). In particular, the research focused on the titles of songs and chapters in the collection, notes, comments and epigraphs. It is proven that Vesna Parun is an author who systematically uses the pragmatic functions of the paratext, which forms an inseparable whole with the body of the text.

Slikovita refleksija u pjesničkoj zbirci „Vjetar Trakije” Vesne Parun

Author(s): Tin Lemac / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 31/2023

Vesna Parun’s collection of poems The Wind of Thrace was published in 1964. It is related to the Bulgarian part of Parunica’s civil and creative biography. It abounds in longer poems and miniatures united by Parunica’s poetics of Mediterraneanism and symbolism. As one of the stylistic markers in poems, we have singled out an imagenary reflextion that shapes parts, and sometimes entire songs. She is one of the bearers of poetic discourse, its content and style. In this paper, we will analyze reflextion as a statement that as such is not represented in traditional theories of literature, but is derived from philosophy (Cassirer) and partial literary theory analyzes (Freidenberg, Stamać). Her imagenary performance rests on imagenary syntax and semantics, and her meaning is grounded in the mental representation of the subject world in the poem. We divide it by subject fields and content, and analyze it with literary stylistic procedures.

Метафизически съответствия в поетическата книга на Весна Парун „Вятърът на Тракия“

Author(s): Liudmila Mindova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 31/2023

The text is an academic reading of the ‘Bulgarian book of poetry’ written by the poetess Vesna Parun who, in the 1960’s of the 20th century, linked her road of life and oeuvre to Bulgaria in which she sojourned almost a decade. Similarly to the poets of her generation, Parun took profound interest in metaphysic topics and succeeded in original way to combine Catholic, East-Orthodox, Bogomil, Islamic, Thracian and even socialist symbolism in her poetry. “Wind of Thracia” was an impressive expression of this poetic essence in her lyric poetry and drew the attention because the above-mentioned work outlined the analogues between the two homelands of Vesna Parun – Croatia and Bulgaria – where she made long lasting friendships and discovered many sources of inspiration.

The Mousetrap of Language: The Mechanism of Anamorphosis in the Works of Edgar Allan Poe and Antun Gustav Matoš

Author(s): Andrea Milanko,Ana Tomljenović / Language(s): English Issue: 25/2023

Rethinking conditions of revolutionary potential of literature, with special regard to ways literature incessantly has re-examined otherness in language, in this paper we have chosen to focus on specific mechanism of illusion-making, i.e. anamorphosis taken both as a technique and a theme. Since one of the most famous elaboration of anamorphosis in literature is to be found in Poe’s stories, it is worthwhile to examine how Poe’s game of hide and seek with depth and surface is reflected in his devoted Croatian reader and interpreter A.G. Matos. In a comparative analysis of Poe’s and Matos’s stories, we will elaborate on how a procedure of naming and a procedure of signifying are revealed to be mere effects of anamorphosis in Matos’s short story “Miš” (The Mouse). Since it is an embodiment of a figure designating schism and split, the rodent from the title of Matos’s short story reveals the other side of thinking, which is no other than the other within.

ETIKA SRCA I SIMBOLIKA U PRIČAMA IVANE BRLIĆ-MAŽURANIĆ

Author(s): Emina Berbić Kolar,Marija Rašić,Ljubica Nedić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2024

This paper analyzes the prose fairy tales by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, specifically focusing on “Šuma Striborova” (Stribor's Forest), "Kako je Potjeh tražio Istinu" (How Potjeh Sought the Truth) and "Sunce djever i Neva Nevičica" (Sun the Groomsman and Neva Nevičica), in terms of their ethical dimensions and symbolism. These prose fairy tales are part of the collection of stories titled "Šuma Striborova," a mandatory reading for sixth-grade students in primary schools across the Republic of Croatia. Students read the assigned work independently. Therefore, this research investigates the extent to which students at Matija Gubec, Magadenovac Elementary School and students Facculty of Educatin comprehend the symbols and narrative ethics of Brlić-Mažuranić, which, within the framework of the contemporary narrative of the 21st century, poses a challenge for students to grasp. The value systems conveyed through these tales serve as a catalyst for devising innovative tools that facilitate the transmission of story content and messages to future generations.

LINGVOSTILISTIČKI POSTUPCI U PORTRETIRANJU LIKOVA ROMANA “PROKLETA AVLIJA” IVE ANDRIĆA

Author(s): Sanja Merzić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 4/2024

The novel "The Damned Yard" depicts life in the Constantinople prison of the same name. Yard is not just any kind of prison, but a space where the writer shows the psychological characterization of the characters: Karađoz, Haim, Ćamil, friar Peter, Zaim and other, secondary characters. We see it as a place of complete alienation from the outside world, in which each prisoner is placed in a precisely defined space and confronted with thoughts about life and being in the yard, which is sometimes interrupted by another character. On one such fabric, Andrić portrays psychological processes of prisoners, especially their way of thinking and reasoning, and their emotional states. The research concluded that when portraying characters, Andrić uses the values of spoken language, stylistic figures such as antithesis, cumulation, epithet, hyperbole and synatresm, and at the level of syntax, parenthetical expressions, and universal statements. It was noticed that Andrić also uses the mentioned figures during the depiction of conditions in the Yard, which inevitably affect the fate of the prisoners.
