"Aukso amžiaus" pabaiga: Antano Baranausko versija

Author(s): Paulius Subacius / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 2(27)/2002

The works of the poet Antanas Baranauskas represent a shift from the cyclic interpretation of time, which belongs to the paradigm of natural and mythical consciousness, towards the linear historical time. This observation, which has already been discussed in the articles of the same author, here is developed in two aspects. On the one hand, it shows that the historical conceptualization of experience in Baranauskas' poetry is sanctioned by the figure of God. On the other hand, it raises the hypothesis that the linearity coming into force can be considered as the factor bringing about the Christianization of the Lithuanian consciousness. The mental reform introduced by Baranauskas is analyzed in the broad context of the paradigmatic alternatives of the perception of time that is characteristic of the European civilization.

"Nebibliografinë" Jono Bretkûno Postilë (1591): Vlado Daumanto egzempliorius

Author(s): Ona Aleknaviciene / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 06/2004

In this article I describe the copy of Jonas Bretkûnas' Postilla (1591), which is kept in the Kaunas Art Gallery of Mykolas Žilinskas (this is a division of the National Art Museum of Mikalojus Konstantinas Èiurlionis), in the section of Archival Documents and Photographs (call number: Tkr. 148). Until 1944 the copy was kept in the private collection of Vladas Daumantas. For a certain period after World War Two it was unknown to scholars. The copy was included neither in the Lithuanian Bibliography (Lietuvos TSR bibliografija, 1969; LB I), nor in the supplement volume (Papildymai, 1990; LBP). This is the tenth copy of Bretkûnas' Postilla kept in Lithuania. Daumantas' copy is not defective, but is in good condition. There are, however, certain errors of pagination. Certain circumstances attest that this copy was the property of Vladas Daumantas: (1) an inscription in purple pencil on the title page "VDaumantas" (cf. Fig. 1); (2) an inscription "VDaumanto kolekcija" in the accession book of the Art Museum of Mikalojus Konstantinas Èiurlionis; (3) a description of the Postilla in the manuscripts by Petras Jakðtas (a contemporary of Daumantas; they both were members of the 27 Book Lovers Society).

A lív költészet nyomában

Author(s): Péter Pomozi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 05/2017

This short study evokes a Baltic Finnic language that is now almost extinct, i.e. Livonian. After offering basic information on the medieval Livonian language area and the former dialectal distribution, the article focuses upon the linguistic heritage of the Salaca Livonian groups, who once lived along the seabanks of the Riga gulf and the Salaca and Svētupe rivers. The Livonians’ history does not end with their ancestors’ death. Curland Livonian has been revitalised, a standard grammar, vocabulary and spelling have been developed. This language is spoken in many places and on many forums, e.g. at summer courses and universities. Two remarkable volumes of poetry, containing the poems of Ķempi Kārl, were also published recently. The second part of the study is dedicated to the lyrical world of Ķempi Kārl, who experiments in his work with the poetical infinity of Salaca Livonian.

Algirdo Landsbergio „Graikijos Vėjas“: Naratyvo ypatumai ir mito intertekstas

Author(s): Laimute Adomaviciene / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 32 (37)/2017

The article analyses novella “Graikijos Vėjas” (1956) of the exile prose writer, playwright, literary and theatre critic Algirdas Landsbergis (1924–2004) by applying the narratological analysis and the theory of transtextuality. The article is based on Gérard Genette’s classical narratology and the theory of transtextuality and Irina Melnikova’s theory of intermediality. It is an innovative approach since it has not been applied for the selected text so far. The analysis of novella’s narrative, space and time (order, duration, frequency) and narrative mode has shown that there exists the relation between time and space in the text. Temporal succession of events (one extended day) is described by providing the story of earlier events in a chronological order. The narrative is twofold: on the one hand, it consists of the fixed internal focalisation, on the other hand of zero focalisation. The analysis of transtextual relation between the own and others’ texts has revealed the significance of the context of the Greek culture. The writer uses the heritage of European mythology creatively: he transforms the classical myth of Theseus by ironizing the plot, reminding the love story of Theseus and making a parody of heroes’ former features (strength, bravery, noble ambitions and actions).

Balys Sruoga ir Jurgis Baltrušaitis: vienos paradigmos ieškojimas, arba Simbolistų būties rūpestis katastrofos akivaizdoje

Author(s): Rita Tutlyte / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 2/2016

The article focuses on indirect and complicated connections of Balys Sruoga’s personal attitudes and his works with the main philosophic trend of the 20th century, namely the idea of individual’s unconditioned value and issues of rebellion, anxiety, as well as temporality and purport of life, elaborated by modernist art movements (Symbolism, Impressionism and Neo-romanticism) and highlighted by Existentialism. It searches not for Sruoga’s reply to philosophical postulates or paraphrases of an important thesis, but rather for author’s authentic attitude within the context of this paradigm. Research is focused on the significance of Jurgis Baltrušaitis, a Lithuanian diplomat and poet, as well as Russian symbolist, for Sruoga. It also highlights the role of the Teacher of the younger generation, assumed by Sruoga during the Nazi occupation. In doing so, the following works are analysed: early poetry, novel, Dievų miškas (The Forest of the Gods), and drama, Pajūrio kurortas (The Resort at the Seaside). The theoretical approach to the above mentioned texts consists of the history of the 20th century ideas, the context of modern literature and trends in philosophy, Enterbter Geist (The Disinherited Mind) by Erich Heller that offered a look at the 19th century and the continuity of its thinking traditions in the 20th century, as well as the concept of the literary field proposed by Dominique Maingueneau.

Balys Sruoga kaip personažas: keli Ričardo Gavelio tekstai kultūros atminties požiūriu

Author(s): Loreta Macianskaite / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 2/2016

The article analyzes Balys Sruoga’s (1896-1947), the author of memoirs Dievų miškas (The Forest of the Gods), personal and creative reception during Soviet period; more precisely his biography’s literary reinterpretation in which the writer himself acts as a character. This new theme in Lithuanian literary science is analyzed using formerly unknown archival material, two literary scripts written by Ričardas Gavelis in 1981, which adapted The Forest of the Gods. The other material is yet another text by Gavelis, a very significant novel, Vilnius Poker (1989), in which one of the characters, professor Bolius, shares some similarities with real Balys Sruoga. The analysis of Gavelis’s texts highlights three different Sruoga’s biography cultural roles: holy fool, martyr and the victim of history. The article associates these three roles to the alteration of consciousness from classical humanism towards post-humanist nihilism, which correlates with the dichotomy of Gulag’s image as perceived by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Varlam Shalamov. In Soviet times, The Forest of the Gods functioned as the Aesopian language shield enabling authors to speak about Soviet camps. In the 1980s, the text was too dangerous to make it into a film. In the 21st century, Sruoga’s tragic fate and his book’s value have not diminished in Lithuanian culture. However, there is a need to actualize other writer’s personal and creative aspects which still hide in the shadow of cultural memory.

Bûdvardžiu su priesaga -iškas(-a) posesyvinës reikšmës statusas senuosiuose raštuose

Author(s): Saulius Ambrazas / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 04/2002

Most Old Lithuanian texts of the 16th-17th centuries are translations. Their syntax and lexicon were under the heavy influence of the originals. A similar problem with regard to the influence of the originals sometimes occurs in investigations of word formation too. In Old Lithuanian texts adjectives with the suffix -iðkas(-a) usually have a possessive meaning and are encountered side by side with the adnominal genitive, cf. the example from Ewangelie Polskie y Litewskie (1647) by Jonas Jaknavièius: Iey ieºmes (abä iemiá=ºkus) dayktus µaki=ºan iumus / a teãiau ne tikite / kaypog iey µakiãia iumus dungiákus tikieµite 17120-26. Such usage is not characteristic of modern Lithuanian where derivatives of this type usually denote resemblance. Therefore Pranas Skardþius (1943) and some other investigators were inclined to see the influence of the Slavonic languages in the possessive usage of adjectives with the suffixe -iðkas(-a) in Old Lithuanian texts.

Changing the Modes of National Representation: Anthologies of Lithuanian Poetry for Foreign Readers (1978–2013)

Author(s): Gintare Bernotiene / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

This article examines how Lithuanian poetry was represented for foreign readers in 15 anthologies published from 1978 to 2013 in Lithuania and abroad. The object of investigation is not a huge corpus of authors representing the official canon but the cultural, historical, political, and aesthetic aspects of Lithuanian poetry revealed in the prefaces of the anthologies. The 35 year-long process of anthologisation reveals the changing modes of national representation: the trajectory from the unknown, closed or even censored Lithuanian literature (which was oppressed by social realism and divided in two parts – exodus and Soviet Lithuanian literature) to a united picture of national literature and later to the crumbling mosaic of its parts (representing particularities grouped by gender, generations, subjects, grouping and so on). During the Soviet period the more precise translation process of Lithuanian poetry for foreign readers became possible in 70s. Till the end of the 20th century the main goal of compilers of anthologies as well as authors of prefaces was to represent national literary history beginning with the 18th century and its origins in folk culture, and highlight the historical circumstances of delayed development of national literature. From the beginning of the 21st century the care about national literature’s representation turns into a commercial project orientated towards international text circulation. According to global conditions the political resistance clearly expressed in poetic writings which was so important for the compilers of the 20th-century anthologies has transformed into the political-economic literary battlefield (the battle for publishing, translations, resistance against the dominant literary tendencies, establishment of individuality) marking a radically different political resistance.

Cочинения старообрядцев-беспоповцев в Речи Посполитой в XVIII в

Author(s): Nadezhda Morozova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 58 (2)/2013

The article deals with the evaluation of creative works by priestless Old Believers residing in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century. The study gives a special emphasis to the two main issues, i.e. 1) creative work of Feodosiy Vasilyev and his son Evstrat Feodosiyev (Feodosiyevich) and 2) the texts on activities of the Feodoseevtsy Council meetings that took place in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the first half through the middle of the 18th century. The evaluation of the original creative work of priestless Old Believers of the Polish– Lithuanian Commonwealth specified in the article enables to conclude about the gradual expansion of the territories in which settlements of Old Believers appeared and the residents of which would be involved in active polemic and literary activities. The second third of the 18th century is characterized by the highest intellectual activity that would primarily be attributed to the inhabitants of the Sebezh lands.

Daugybingumo formos šiuolaikiniame Lietuvos teatre: postmoderni reprezentacija ar modernios tradicijos tęsinys?

Author(s): Jurgita Staniškyte / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 2/2011

The article examines new forms of representation in the contemporary Lithuanian theatre as well as their correlation with the modern representation. One of the themes of analysis is different character of the relations with the past in a modern and postmodern artistic framework. Quite often the creators of the post-soviet Lithuanian theatre use pre-existing cultural templates – myths, narratives, frames of traditional historiography, together with different texts and forms from the history of the theatre, and thus produce the effect of continuation rather than a radical break with the tradition.The article focuses on the theatrical strategies that open up to the postmodern notion of plurality: intertextual representation, intersemiosis, citation, pastiche, rewriting, deconstruction. With the help of three different case studies the article demonstrates, what kind of aesthetic forms the principle of plurality acquires in Lithuanian theatre; how the past (tradition, canon, history)reappears in these performances and how their perception differs from the modern tradition.

Dėl vietovardžio Nemajuai istorijos ir kilmės

Author(s): Jonas Palionis / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 12/2010

Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird der aus Südlitauen bekannte Ortsname Nemajūnai unter historischen und etymologischen Aspekten diskutiert. Neben der Bezeichnung Nemajūnai werden für diesen Ort in der Literatur auch die Bezeichnungen Žvirždai und Dautartiškės genannt. Allerdings deuten die Angaben aus den in der St. Jacobi Kirche in Punia (Kreis Alytus) aufbewahrten Tauf- und Trauungsverzeichnissen darauf hin, dass für den Ort Nemajūnai offenbar niemals die Bezeichnungen Žvirždai bzw. Dautartiškės üblich waren. Der Ortsname Nemajūnai ist wahrscheinlich anthroponymischen Ursprungs und lässt sich auf eine hypothetische Namensform *Nemajus zurückführen.

DIDYSIS PASAKOJIMAS SOVIETMEČIU: KELI PANORAMINIAI PROBLEMOS ŠTRICHAI

Author(s): Audinga Pelurityte-Tikuišiene / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 57 (1)/2015

This article deals with development of Lithuanian art of early socialist realism. The key issues of the article are following: what is the position of the Grand Narrative which was formed by mature modernism in narration of Lithuanian art of the then? The article refers to the concept of crisis of mature modernity and grand narratives. This concept has been formulated in Lyotardʼs book The Postmodern Condition (1979). The article expands this concept by sociological interpretations of Antony Giddens and historical philosophical interpretations of Wolfgang Welsch. Also the discourse of alternative modernism has been included in the discussion with artefacts of socialist realism which to the problem of the Grand Narrative renders importants arguments of fake history and altered character. The art of socialist realismʼ period has been considered against a background of concepts of modernism and alternative modernism as well as that of the tendencies of depersonalization, personification, collectivism and nationality. The narratives of the fine arts (sculpture, painting) have been evaluated from the point of view of literary narratives.

DIE STILLE MODERNE IN DER LITAUISCHEN LITERATUR (1962–1982)

Author(s): Rita Tutlyte / Language(s): German / Issue: 56 (1)/2014

Der vorliegende Beitrag entstand auf der Grundlage einer Vorlesung am Institut für Baltistik der Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald. Das Ziel war es, fremdsprachige Hörer mit den Eigenheiten der sogenannten litauischen stille Moderne bekannt zu machen. Zunächst wird auf politische und kulturelle Spannungen dieser Periode eingegangen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird dabei auf die Weltanschauung einer ganzen Generation sowie auf das Paradigma ihres kollektiven Gedächtnisses in der symbiotischen Verflechtung von Geschichte und Mythos gerichtet. Kulturelle und historische Vorstellungen werden in dem Artikel über die Interpretation des litauischen Staatswappens, dem Vytis, verdeutlicht. Die Wahrnehmung der eigenen Identität in dieser Zeit wird am Beispiel struktueller Veränderungen in der Lyrik vorgeführt.

DISTOPIJOS ELEMENTŲ RAIŠKA MODERNIOJOJE LIETUVIŲ PROZOJE

Author(s): Lina Buividaviciute / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 28(33)A/2015

The theoretical problems and practical analysis of utopia and its subgenre dystopia are widely known in the global cultural discourse. Nevertheless, these analyses still remains almost terra incognita in the studies of Lithuanian prose. The aim of this article is to analyse and compare the ambivalent elements in these novels: Vilniaus pokeris (Vilnius Poker) by R. Gavelis, Užkeiktas miestas (The Town under the Spell) by R. Lankauskas, and Anapus rytojaus (Beyond Tomorrow) by J. Jankus. This article is based on the hermeneutical methodology and the context of existentialism. The theoretical part of the article “Dystopian World” describes the main sources, features, and polemical issues of genre. The first practical part “The Social-Historical Subordinated Dystopia in Lithuanian Literature” analyses the concrete historical and cultural features of the dystopian genre. The features of ontological-existential dystopia are described in the second practical part of the paper.

Dominikas Cezarijus Chodzka - Simono Daukanto kolega

Author(s): Reda Griškaite / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 05/2003

Dominikas Cezarijus Chodzka (Dominik Cezary Chodêko, 1796-1863) was a literary activist, translator, educator, and a member of Vilnius Archeological Commission. Most of his life Chodzka spent in Vilnius, Lithuania. This article was inspired by the discovery of Chodzka's manuscript Krótka Wiadomoúã o dwóch Rækopismach zawierajàcych róýne Akta i Przywileje z Archiwum krolewieckiego oraz z miejsc innych zebrane dla rozjaúnienia dziejow Litwy, Ýmudzi i Rusi posùuýyã mogàce (A Short Note on Two Manuscripts that Contain various Acts and Privileges Originating from the Karaliauèius [Königsberg] Archive and Other Locations, which Might Serve to Explain the History of Lithuania, of Lithuanian Lowlands [Samogitia], and of Russia. It is kept in the Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, Vilnius, call number f. 18 - 50). This text (dated January 11[23], 1862) was addressed and dedicated to the Vilnius Archeological Commission. Analysis has revealed that the documents (or at least one of them - Collection of Lithuanian Lowland Acts [Privileges]) described in Chodzka's manuscript are directly linked to the wellknown historian Simonas Daukantas (1793-1864). This circumstance enabled me not only consider Chodzka's relation to Daukantas, but also Daukantas' relation to the Vilnius Archeological Commission and broadly speaking "Daukantas" ties with the Vilnius elite itself. I have also described Chodzka's biography in detail since activity of this literary figure is still little researched.

Du Jurgio Ambraziejaus Pabrëžos rankrašèiai: Kninga turinti savëj kozonius ir Rekolekcijos dvasiškos

Author(s): Giedrius Subacius / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 03/2001

This article is about the history of two manuscripts by the Lithuanian Franciscan Father Jurgis Ambraziejus Pabrëþa (1771-1849): (1) Kninga Tóræti sawiey Kozonius ónt nekóriu Nedielys Dyinu yr ónt ùabay daug Szwæcziu, 1822 [PaKTSK] (The Book Containing Sermons for Certain Weekdays and for Numerous Holidays) and (2) REKÓLEKCYJYS DWASYSZKAS I tris dyinas PADALITAS, 1846 [PaRD] (Religious Retreats Divided into Three Days). Both manuscripts have recently dropped out of view. In 1940 the Soviet government attempted to destroy the library of the Kretinga (Lithuania) Franciscan monastery where numerous manuscripts of Pabrëþa were kept. The Franciscan Brother Mykolas Tamoðiûnas (and the priest Petras Ruðkys?) secretly saved some books and documents.

Emilijos Beniovskytės-Vrublevskienės (Emilia z Beniowskich Wróblewska, 1830-10-05–1886-12-23) dienoraščiai (1850-08-05–1886-09)

Author(s): Reda Griškaite / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 14/2012

Emilia Wróblewska (or Emilia z Beniowskich Wróblewska) is known mostly as the mother of the famous Vilnius (Rus. Вильна, Pol. Wilno) lawyer and political activist Tadeusz Stanisław Wróblewski (1858–1925). Her name and that of her husband Eustachy Wróblewski (1826–1891) – are immortalized in the name of the library which they founded in Vilnius in 1912, viz. the Eustachy and Emilia Wróblewski Library (originally “Biblioteka im. Eustachego i Emilii Wróblewskich w Wilnie”; now – the Wróblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences; abbreviated here as – LMAVB ). Therefore this woman is usually mentioned only in publications devoted to the library or to her son Tadeusz Stanisław Wróblewski, and more recently to her son Augustyn Wróblewski (1866 – after 1913) in biographical sketches or biographies. Rather more rarely is Wróblewska named as the daughter of Bartłomiej Beniowski (~1800–1867), a participant in the 1830–1831 insurrection or a person with close ties to her husband’s nephew and ward Eustachy Wróblewski, one of the leaders of the 1863–1864 uprising and later with Walery Wróblewski (1836–1908) a general of the Paris Commune.
