Poetski putokazi u djelu Razgovor koga vile Ilirkinje imadoše u pramalitje godine 1841. fra Martina Nedića

Author(s): Mato Nedić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 43/2015

Premda je djelo Razgovor koga vile Ilirkinje imadoshe u pramalitje godine 1835. i koga priuzvishenoj, prisvitloj, krasnoj i plemenitoj gospodi, i svemu ostalomu prislavnomu i priglasnomu narodu ilirskom svakojake plemenite kriposti, osobito pako svoje starinstvo ljubechemu, za vikovicnju uspomenu krotkim i umiljatim sardcem Vila Bosanska prikaza objavljeno tiskom Ivana Nepomuka Prettnera u Karlovcu 1835. godine znatno poznatije, isti autor koji se potpisao kao Vila Bosanska napisao je i djelo Razgovor koga Vile Ilirkinje imadoše u Pramalitje Godine 1841. i koga Preuzvišenoj, Prisvitloj, Krasnoj i Plemenitoj Gospodi i svemu ostalomu Glasovitom, Sardačnom, i, Priprostranom Narodu Ilirskom Svakojake plemenite Kriposti, osobito pako svoje Starinstvo i Slogu ljubećemu, za vikovičnju uspomenu krotkim, i pobožnim sardcem njeki Pjesnik pod imenom Vila Bosanska prikazuje. To je djelo objavio Nikola Žic u Hrvatskome narodnom kalendaru Napredak za 1934. godinu.1 Da je oba djela napisao isti autor, potvrđeno je i u autorovoj fusnoti uz pjesmu Razgovor koga vile Ilirkinje imadoše u pramalitje godine 1841.: “U ‘Razgovoru’ koga Vile Ilirkinje imadoše u pramaliće g. 1835. ima upisana rič Apolo, pod kojim imenom razumije se Pjesnik, a sad u ovom ‘Razgovoru’ namisto Apolo evo stavljeno je Pjesnik.” Žic ne dvoji da je autor obaju djela prvi ilirac iz Bosne fra Martin Nedić (Tolisa, 1810–1895).

Priča kao samolegitimirajuća i samorefleksivna forma

Author(s): Larisa Softić-Gasal / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2015

The short story, as a new literary genre of Bosnian and Herzegovinian literature of the transitional period, has found its way to enter the market of recipients. The role of the reader as a member of a specific cultural group is very important when trying to define the short story. The reader is one of the participants of a contextual network that makes all literary works “open”, thus offering enormous possibilities of detailed reading, rereading and reflection. Previous attempts to define the short story depict it as a modern, contemporary and intensive prose form and a response to the internal raptures of modern recipients. Engaging readers in the process of creating has been achieved by the well-known Brechtian waking up to reality which breaks, to some extent, both the narrative and theatrical illusions. By comparing the so called open forms of stories/dramas, a particular pattern of linguistic behaviour of characters is observed that reflects their difficulties to articulate their feelings, to express them and to reveal them to themselves and to others. Most of the compared short stories/dramas of open forms are characterized by impaired communication between characters. Their statements barely follow one another or, in turn, come with hesitation and have the characteristics of intellectual disability. Zlatko Topčić’s stories Garib and Hasanaginica present the social problem of accepting the allegorical morality/mentality of male society, while promoting the characters as carriers of both the burden of otherness and their own immanent perspective of resistance. Games of signifiers (God, ownership, state) represent the power of the ideology of modern class society. Many short stories from the period of transition of Bosnian and Herzegovinian society are a valuable challenge to the reader’s sensibility to grasp the relativity of the perspective of all socially assumed standards of evaluation.

Trend distopijskog u suvremenoj Hrvatskoj Prozi

Author(s): Igor Gajin / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2015

In contemporary Croatian prose from 2010 to the present day, there has been an abundant series of novels with dystopian content that has introduced, so to speak, a new genre in the Croatian literary tradition, since in the diachrony of this national literature the dystopian themes have barely been represented. The paper intends to construe the cultural context of the cause of this phenomenon and point to the link in the structure of feelings formed by the processes of transition, globalization and neoliberal capitalism with the manifestation of the intensification of the dystopian genre as a motivated discursive manoeuvre by which social criticism is moved from the present “realistic prose” to “fantasy” imaginings of the future.

The Politics and Poetics of Suppression and “Memory Loss”

Author(s): Boris Škvorc / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2015

The article discusses the role of subculture in Croatia and wider South Slavic context during and after the transitional period from the hegemony of Yugoslav communist system to the national state and its new narratives. The introduction discusses the modalities of memory loss in regard to the Yugoslav system of values. It focuses on the situation in popular culture and the new media, arguing that the process of memory loss has been orchestrated by the new national hegemony in both the media and politics and in the subcultural environment of marginal groups. The emphasis is put on the discursive tactics that have contributed to this process in the public sphere. The second part of the article concentrates on the relationship between the private and the public spheres and pays special attention to the relation between spontaneous subcultural practices and orchestrated mass-cultural outlets that very often construct the sphere of popular cultural needs. It is argued that the modalities of re-constructing and re-directing the narrative as an ethical (ethnic and political) issue remain an important topic not only for a better understanding of popular culture’s hegemonic order but also for the modalities of survival of the narrative as a literary autonomous field.

Granice wewnątrz granic. Nowy regionalizm we współczesnej literaturze chorwackiej

Author(s): Anna Boguska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2016

The article is an attempt at a synthetic presentation of Croatian literature researchers’ reflection about regionalism in the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century. The author observes that there is a tendency to see Croatian literature as one that produces two different models of texts in terms of poetics and philosophy – the northern, which is “Central European,” and the southern, which is “Mediterranean.” She then examines the coherence of the “ideal types” delineated by researches according to the themes and literary devices utilised, based on two short stories from 2006, by writers one of whom is from the northern and the other – from the southern part of the country.

Apokrifna Pasija Ivana apostola (Passio Iohannis apostoli) u hrvatskoglagoljskom 1. Novljanskom brevijaru (1459)

Author(s): Vesna Badurina Stipčević / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 02/2024

Apocryphal and hagiographic works about the life and work of Christ’s youngest apostle, John, appeared very early on. The 2nd-century Greek Acts of John (Acta Iohannis) were the basis of many later adaptations and compilations in oriental languages and Latin, which, in turn, had a significant influence on the development and tradition of Johannine hagiography in Western Europe. Descriptions of the apostle’s life, martyrdom and death became part of the liturgical texts, including breviary lessons for his feast day. The temporale section of many Croatian Glagolitic breviaries from the 14th to the middle of the 16th century contain the text of the Passion of John the Apostle (Passio Iohannis apostoli), which is to be read on 27 December. The integral version of the Passion of John in the First Breviary of Novi Vinodolski (1459) contains six extensive readings, with textual parallels in Latin apocrypha about John the Apostle (Passio Iohannis BHL 4320, 4321; Virtutes Iohannis, BHL 4316). A textological analysis shows that the passion corresponds to Croatian Glagolitic breviaries of the southern, Zadar-Krbava group. The Passion of John the Apostle in the First Breviary of Novi Vinodolski holds a unique position among apocryphal apostolic texts of the Croatian Glagolitic tradition.

Empathy in Literature: Deconstruction of Narrative Empathy in Josip Novakovich’s April Fool’s Day

Author(s): Nina Sirković / Language(s): English Issue: 29/2024

The paper deals with the phenomenon of empathy as a means usedby writers, especially in character formation and establishing the relationshipwith the reader. Firstly, the concept of empathy is considered from apsychological point of view (definitions and types), and the term narrativeempathy is introduced. Then follows the analysis of techniques that JosipNovakovich uses to establish narrative empathy between the narrator and thereader regarding his character Ivan Dolinar from the novel April Fool's Day.The author uses explicit and implicit presentation of emotional cues totransfer emotions to the reader. Also, within the text, a two-way line offorming empathy is suggested: the reader is targeted both by the narrator’sside towards the character and by the relationship of the main character withother characters in the novel. The question of empathetic and ethical aspectsof a literary text is also raised, as well as the place of narrative empathy inestablishing a link between empathy and altruism in general.

O Srcu Zemlje Glorije Lujanović

Author(s): Ivan Dugandžić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 119-120/2024

Ova je knjiga izišla sada kada se možda nekomu ponovo sprema krvavi sud i čelično kupanje i kada već dvije godine u blagorodnom srcu svijeta koji nije ni Europa ni Azija, već jedna od Bosni na Zemlji, u blatu i ruševinama presuđuje slijepa ruka slučaja. To što nas podsjeća da se ništa nije promijenilo, što možda Lašva ne će poteći naopako i što smo stradali, a ruke su nam svezane da si barem uspravimo sputani duh, kao i sve na početku rečeno – to je vrijednost ove knjige. Ona nas osvješćuje onoga u čem i jučer i danas jesmo.

Izvješće o radu Društva hrvatskih književnika Herceg Bosne (od 10. Lipnja 2023. Do 22. Lipnja 2024.)

Author(s): Ivan Baković / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 119-120/2024

Izvješće je o izvršenju zadaća koje su proistekle iz odluka Skupštine, godišnjega plana Društva, o urađenim projektima i programima, nakladničkoj djelatnosti, prijemu u članstvo te planiranim aktivnostima. Društvo danas broji 160 članova. Imajući u vidu sve okolnosti u kojima Društvo djeluje, planirali smo, započinjali i dovršavali poslove, projekte i aktivnosti koje smo ocijenili da možemo ostvariti, trudeći se omogućiti perspektivu za stabilan rad i djelovanje Društva. U takvom ozračju smo radili i izvršavali zadaće i ostvarivali postavljene ciljeve relativno uspješno. Priroda našega djelovanja je takva po svom karakteru da zahtijeva svakodnevnu nazočnost i sustavan rad. Nastojali smo stalno biti na raspolaganju članovima i javnosti. Održali smo uspješno tzv. hladni pogon i, prema našoj ocjeni, u nekim segmentima napredovalo u radu. Od prošle izborne skupštine tijela Društva su se, prihvaćajući odgovornost, suočavala i dalje s nepovoljnim društvenim okolnostima, tako da osnovni problemi Društva nisu konačno riješeni.

Jedra puna „antiheroizma“. Poetika i politika putopisa „Besa: brodski dnevnik“ Jože Horvata

Author(s): Andrea Matošević / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 36/2024

The paper interprets aspects of Joža Horvat’s travelogue Besa: brodski dnevnik. Created as a series of articles published in Vjesnik u srijedu from 1965 to 1967, this travelogue is characterized by several specificities, i.e. the “anti-heroic” and “self-ironic” tone in which it was written. Also, the question of Otherness that arose in the logbook is articulated in a twofold manner. On the one hand, the Besa crew itself is sometimes interpreted as the “Other” since it comes from a socialist country, but at the same time socialist ideas serve as an interpretive framework in which the author places a series of relationships and situations he comes across.

PREBACIVANJE KODOVA U DRAMI GOSPODA GLEMBAJEVI -Analiza na razini riječi

Author(s): Nikolina Pandža / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2018

Jahrhundertlange Sprachkontakte zwischen der kroatischen und deutschen Sprache führten zur Entlehnung, beziehungsweise zur Übernahme deutscher Lehnwörter ins Kroatische. Neben der Entlehnung gibt es jedoch noch andere Aspekte der Sprachkontakte und einer von ihnen ist der Codewechsel. Da er als mögliche Folge der Zwei- oder Mehrsprachigkeit betrachtet wird, haben wir uns in dieser Arbeit für das Korpus des Dramas Gospoda Glembajevi von Miroslav Krleža entschieden. In dem Werk wird das Leben des Zagreber Großbürgertums Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gezeigt, das zum größten Teil in einem zweisprachigen, kroatisch-deutschen Umfeld aufwuchs. Die Analyse der im Werk verzeichneten Beispiele wird sowohl morphologische und semantische Eigenschaften, als auch soziolinguistische Motivationen der Entstehung des Codewechsels umfassen. Außerdem werden wir uns mit dem Begriff der Entlehnung und Interferenz befassen, einem dem Codewechsel ähnlichen Phänomen, sowie mit den Parallelen und Unterschiedenzwischen ihnen.

IDEOLOŠKI I STRUKTURALNI MODERNIZAM U KRLEŽINU POVRATKU FILIPA LATINOVICZA

Author(s): Denis Kuzmanović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1-2/2021

Krleža’s novel The Return of Filip Latinovicz represents a potent combination of ideological and structural modernism where through the character of the eponymous protagonist the chaos of the interbellum 20th century is reflected. Latinovicz as an artist represents a perfect prism through which existential anxieties, his own and those of people around him, are reflected. This prism reveals the alienation and fragmentation between people and their environment, with particlar emphasis on contrasts between rural and urban environment, between social classes, the deterioration of once unassailable moral values and power structures of the church and aristocracy. On the ruins of this society only turmoil flourishes, as the quest for happiness becomes even more elusive, where even its existence comes to be questioned. This disruption of moral values and communication between people is also reflected through experiments in form, such as the classic stream of consciousness, achronological plot and intertextuality. However, Krleža also brings certain refreshmnet into the multiple roles of the narrator, which goes from that of purely descriptive, to those of intimacy, argumentative, sarcastic, and other attitudes. Krleža’s modernism in this novel is effectively a kaleidoscope of personal and societal restlessness of a modern man, an existential war still raging on.

HRVATSKA KNJIŽEVNA HISTORIOGRAFIJA O STANKU VRAZU

Author(s): Andrea Sapunar Knežević / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2023

Next to Petar Preradović and Ivan Mažuranić, Croatian literary historiography considers Stanko Vraz to be one of the most prominent revival poets. The reviews of the older literary historiographers, Branko Drechsler Vodnik and Slavko Ježić, as well as contemporary ones, Ivo Frangeš, Miroslav Šicel and Dubravko Jelčić, present a witness on this point. The fact is that Vraz’s opus and life abundant in cultural work are still the subject of newer literary and scientific research. That is what some newer, contemporary literary and historical and theoretically renewed readings of the Vraz’s work, two hundred years after their emergence, testify. It is indeed an undoubtfull indicator of Vraz’s opus value.
