Rotunda, švabachas, fraktûra, antikva ir kursyvas lietuviškuose XVI amþiaus spaudiniuose

Author(s): Ona Aleknavičienė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 07/2005

The article covers the development and delineates the main stages of the black-letter or gothic types in printed Lithuanian texts of the sixteenth century in East Prussia (Lithuania Minor) and in Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Lithuania Major). Three kinds of the gothic types were used in Lithuanian prints of the sixteenth century in East Prussia: Rotunda, Schwabacher, and Fraktur. Hans Weinreich used Rotunda in his print shop for the first two Lithuanian printed books: Martynas Maþvydas' Catechism (1547) and Hymn of St. Ambrose (1549); still the major typeface used for both books was Schwabacher. We can find Rotunda in Lithuanian, Polish, and Old Prussian early sixteenth century prints; however, from the middle of the sixteenth century it begins to disappear from the Königsberg printers' books. The first Lithuanian text to contain a Fraktur typeface was Maþvydas' The Form of Christening (1559) from Johann Daubmann printshop. Still the main text of the book was set in Schwabacher (like in the other important book by Maþvydas - Christian Hymns, Part 1, 1566); Fraktur along with the Latin Antiqua typeface were used only for certain emphasizing.

Rytietybiu redagavimas Jono Jaknavičiaus Ewangelie polskie y litewskie 1674 metu leidime

Author(s): Milda Luèinskienë / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 03/2001

Die 1647 in Vilnius verlegten Ewangelie polskie y litewskie von Jonas Jaknavièius gelten als die älteste bis jetzt erhaltene Ausgabe dieser Evangelien. Die Ausgabe vom Jahre 1674 (JE74), so wie diejenige vom Jahre 1647 (JE47), stützt sich auf eine ostlitauische Mundart. Aus einem Vergleich der beiden Ausgaben geht hervor, daß der Text der Ausgabe JE74 gründlich und zielbewußt bearbeitet worden ist. Man beobachtet das Bestreben, die in JE47 verwendeten ostlitauischen Wörter durch allgemein übliche zu ersetzen (vgl. etwa pateisiai ´ uþ tiesà, suversti ´ ataduoti, dangtis ´ stogas, iðkuopti ´ iðkandaþyti), von einigen nebeneinander auftretenden Synonymen nur die westliche Variante stehenzulassen (vgl. ðakelë (aba ataþala) ´ ðakelë, pjûmenis (pjûklë, pjûtis) ´ pjûtis, pasavintinë (aba sukalbëtoji pana) ´ sukalbëtoji pana.

SCENINĖS KOSTO OSTRAUSKO NUORODOS, ARBA TEATRINIŲ KONVENCIJŲ LAUŽYMAS

Author(s): Neringa Klišienė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 1/2014

Cet article concerne la problématique des didascalies et de leur rôle, qui a été jusqu’ici très peu, voire pas du tout analysée dans la critique dramaturgique lituanienne. L’analyse est fondée sur les textes dra principe de collage, l’auteur donne plus de poids aux didascalies. Les couches textuelles différentes insérées dans les didascalies, telles que des citations, des notes bibliographiques, des commentaires, dévoilent l’originalité de la stratégie que choisit K. Ostrauskas pour créer son texte dramatique, où les didascalies dépassent le cadre d’un simple « texte de service ». La présence d’auteur qu’on n’essaie pas de dissimuler (voire qu’on manifeste expressément parfois) aide à créer une relation de tension, de provocation ou même d’opposition avec le texte énoncé (le dia maturgiques de K. Ostrauskas. En rejetant le cadre d’un seul genre et d’une seule composition, en abandonnant le registre soutenu et rhétorique, en remplaçant un enchaînement cohérent d’événements par unl ogue). Les didascalies de K. Ostrauskas sont destinées aussi bien à la visualisation sur scène du texte dramatique qu’à la lecture, car elles gardent des signes de théâtralité qu’il est difficile de transférer sur scène. Elles revèlent une stratégie spécifique de création de signification qui est inséparablement liée à la polémique dialectique entre le texte et la scène. En élargissant les fonctions des didascalies, le dramaturge met en question l’idée propre au théâtre traditionnel selon laquelle les didascalies ont pour rôle essentiel de servir la mimesis théâtrale.

Senuju Lietuvos knygu antraštës

Author(s): Eglë Patiejûnienë / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 03/2001

Der Begriff "Titel" wird sogar von Literaturtheoretikern häufig axiomatisch verwendet; in den zugänglichsten litauischen, polnischen und englischen Lexiken sind keine entsprechenden Definitionen zu finden. Fachleute der Bücherkunde und Bibliographen widmen dem Buchtitel mehr Aufmerksamkeit, der Titel wird von ihnen jedoch oft mit dem Titelblatt identifiziert oder als ein bestimmtes Kennzeichen verstanden, das bei der Identifizierung eines Schritftstückes helfen soll. Die in unseren Zeiten gewöhnliche Zusammenstellungsweise der Titel, wobei der Name des Autors, Titel des Schriftstücks, Ort der Ausgabe, Verlag und Datum der Ausgabe nacheinander aufgeführt werden, gibt keinen Anlaß zur wissenschaftlichen Analyse. Diese Tradition ist jedoch verhältnißmäßig neu: Sie ist im 3. Viertel des 18. Jh. entstanden.

Septyneri emigranto metai: Arkadijus Buchovas Kaune

Author(s): Marius Vyšniauskas / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 16/2016

Buchov reveals the diversity of Imperial/Soviet Russian politics and rival activities. Moreover, not only he helps to understand changing roles of Russian, Lithuanian, and Western Europe states but also presents general structure of culture, socialization and politics in the first decade of the 20th century. The aim of this article is to analyse the life and works of A. Buchov, his work experience in the period of the first Republic of Lithuania, and take a look into the environment he matured and the ideas he expressed. In addition, to reveal close contacts with Lithuanian politics, press, and family of L. Gira. Editorial office of “Echo” named “Spy nest” and problematic political reactions of A. Buchov are analysed as well.

Siedemnastowieczna Litwa w najnowszej prozie litewskiej. O powieści „Silva rerum” Kristiny Sabaliauskaitė

Author(s): Anna Szawerna-Dyrszka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2 (10)/2017

The novel „Silva rerum” has become a bestseller in Lithuania, although it seems that – as a work contesting the Lithuanian national myth – it did not stand a chance to gain such popularity. It was issued for the first time in 2008 and several re-editions have been released so far. The story of the noble family of Narwojsz, presented in „Silva rerum” covering the years 1659–1667, turned out to be extremely attractive not only for the Lithuanian reader. The novel has become a bestseller also in Latvia and Estonia. In Poland, it did not get such a large publicity, however – perfectly translated into Polish by Izabela Korybut-Daszkiewicz and published in 2015 – it gained great attention of readers and critics. The author of the article wonders what features decided about the reading success of „Silva rerum”. She analyzes the baroque stylization of the novel, in which, on many levels, the excess meets with asceticism. She looks at the phenomenon of micro-history, which consequently pushes the “great history” to the background (which is unprecedented in the tradition of the Lithuanian historical novel). She shows how Kristina Sabaliauskaitė transforms the authentic space of Vilnius, capturing the specific genius loci of this city and masterfully combining fiction with geographical and historical reality.

Slika šest bolesti suvremenog duha

Author(s): Constantin Noica / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 22/2017

Osim somatskih bolesti, koje su prepoznate vjekovima, kao i onih psihičkih, koje su prepoznate tekjedvajedno stoljeće, sigurnoje da postoje i bolesti višeg reda, da kažemo - bolesti duha. Nikakvom neurozom ne možemo objasniti Propovjednikovo beznađe, osjećaj izgnanstva na zemlji ili otuđenja, metafizičku dosadu kao ni osjećaj praznine ili apsurdnosti, hipertrofiju ega kao ni odbijanje svega ili isprazno kontriranje, kao što se nikakvom psihozom ne može objasniti gospodarski ni politički furor, apstraktnu umjetnost, demonsku stranu tehnologije kao ni onu ekstremnog formalizma u kulturi, što danas dovodi do dominacije isprazne egzaktnosti.

Small Literature as a Problem. Could It Be Solved?

Author(s): Dalia Satkauskytė / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

The article discusses the status and functioning of so-called small literatures, including Lithuanian literature, in the global system of world literature. Referring to Franco Moretti and Pascale Casanova’s interpretation of world literature system as based on the principle of inequality, the author discusses the conception of belonging to small literatures as a destiny and interprets the onecentric world literary system as hegemonic. Being dominated by grand literatures, small literatures have very restricted possibilities of gravitation towards the center of world literature. In that theoretical context, the article considers the following issues: is it possible and how is it possible to avoid the destiny of small literatures staying in the periphery of world literature, what role in this situation plays the writer himself, what depends on the culture and research politics, could literary scholars play the role of mediators and what could be the alternatives for onecentered world literary system.

Sofijos Kymantaitės-Čiurlionienės pastangos XX a. pradžioje įtvirtinti moters vertę ir savivertę

Author(s): Nida Gaidauskienė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 1/2018

This article examines the ways in which the self-awareness of a feminine identity, the perceived value of women and the self-esteem of a particular author have been evolving from 1904 to the end of the First World War; the author in question is Sofija Kymantaitė-Čiurlionienė (1886–1958), Lithuanian publicist, writer and educator. During her studies at the Jagiellonian University of Kraków in 1904–1907 (and in Adrian Baraniecki’s High Courses for Women), she decisively chose to study the humanities and became one of the first modern Lithuanian women engaged in literature, literary criticism and the politics of education. This article presents the context of the women’s emancipation movement that at beginning of the 20th century in Kraków, where the increasing possibilities of education for young women had become increasingly available. Right after her return to Lithuania in 1907, Kymantaitė took part in the Lithuanian Women’s Congress in Kaunas and became involved in the preparatory work on the regulations of the Lithuanian Women’s Society. In her collection of articles Lietuvoje: kritikos žvilgsnis į Lietuvos inteligentiją (“In Lithuania: A Critical Look at the Lithuanian Intelligentsia,” 1910), besides a wide scope of issues that were considered, Kymantaitė-Čiurlionienė discussed the issue of the relationship between well-educated men and women and questioned the equal value of women in the nascent modern Lithuanian society. In 1910, Čiurlionienė wrote a dramatic dialogue Ateities moteris (“Woman of the Future”, 1910), which highlights the idea that the equality between man and woman rests on shared human values. The dialogue foregrounds the spiritual faithfulness of the woman to the man she had chosen – faithfulness that is upheld despite the distance that greatly separates them, contradictory to the thought that women are incapable of creating ties of friendship with men, as expressed by one of Nietzsche’s literary characters. The main character of Ateities moteris – Johanna – reveals herself as a rebel only when she confronts the antagonist’s patriarchal worldview and his commanding affirmation of women’s lower position and the determinism of biological needs. References to Otto Weininger’s study Geschlecht und Charakter (Sex and Character, 1903), as well as a quote that evokes misogynistic sentiments from Nietzsche’s Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883), appear in the dramatic dialogue, provoking a polemic with these authors' positions. The dialogue indicates the writer’s interest in the theories of gender struggle. The text reflects Čiurlionienė’s involvement in the preparation of the statute of the Lithuanian Women’s Society as well as the influence of liberal feminist ideas that she had encountered while still in Kraków. Following the Romantic authors’ attempts to reveal female heroism, Čiurlionienė strived to create a distinctive interpretation of the end-of-the-19th-century “Lithuanian Jeanne d’Arc” in her psychological sketch (novelette) Joana Vaidilaitė (1914–1918). Johanna’s worldview is undoubtedly more akin to the ideas of early modernism, whereas Joana Vaidilaitė’s sedentary lifestyle is determined by the young woman’s realia of the 19th-century countryside, and later by her treatment in a psychiatric hospital. The sketch suggests the reality of the protagonist’s mystical motherhood, which others treat as a manifestation of madness. The novelette has never been published. Had Joana Vaidilaitė been published during the first years of Lithuania’s independence, there could have been an opportunity to enrich the history of Lithuanian literature with original efforts to give a sense to motherhood, with the Romantic treatment of madness as a form of clairvoyance and the modernist interpretation of the sea as a fluctuating womb. To conclude, starting with the formulation of the statute of the Lithuanian Women’s Society in 1910, Kymantaitė-Čiurlionienė’s attempts to express liberal feminist ideas in literary fiction become more noticeable; in these writings, the author refuses to think of motherhood as a manifestation of the impersonal nature's force (which relates to the views of the misogynists), and she cherishes the idea that conscious motherhood is equated to the creation of an individual capable of enriching cultural resources in the future.

Stanislovo Moravskio lietuvių kalba: 1850-1852

Author(s): Giedrius Subačius / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 07/2005

Stanislovas Moravskis (Stanisùaw Morawski, 1802-1853) was the well-known author of Vilnius' memoirs (Several Years from My Young Days in Vilnius, 1818-1825). He wrote predominantly in Polish, but in the rough draft of his "Pieúni" ("Songs"), ca. 1850-1852 (preserved in the Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius: f. 165 - 404) Moravskis wrote some Lithuanian texts, phrases, and words (151 Lith. words with a total of 269 occurrences). Moravskis was curious about the meaning and the form of the Lith. words Anksti, Dobiùas and its derivative dobieùelis, Palidnikas, Ratiela. He knew well how to use the velar (nonpalatal) consonant [l] before the e type vocalism (Ùeki 'lëkë; flew'), etc. It might seem that Moravskis had mastered certain characteristics of the Lithuanian language better than a novice. On the other hand, Moravskis was unable to hear the exact phonetics of the words anam, eþeraitis, mergelë, nabagëlis, nedëlia, nematau, Nemunas, penki, subata; he could not identify exactly the ending -o (gen. sg. and praes. 3); he did not clearly differentiate between the diphthong [ie] and the vowels [ë], [e], or between the diphthong [uo] and the vowel [o] (he wrote ); he did not perceive precisely the unstressed diphthong [au] (sometimes he wrote it as ) and there are some inaccuracies in his translations from Lithuanian into Polish. These characteristics of Moravskis's texts could suggest the opposite view that Moravskis was far from being a specialist in Lithuanian.

Stodamas į aukštąją mokyklą…

Author(s): Donatas Sauka / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 1/2017

Donatas Sauka (1929–2015), a professor of Lithuanian Literature at Vilnius University, worked at the Department of Lithuanian Literature from 1956 to 1993, teaching courses in Lithuanian literature and folklore to several generations of students. These different generations of students were equally impressed by the professor’s erudition, his uncompromising attitude and the perfectionism that he demanded of himself and others; also surprising were his endless curiosity and sincere interest in every new phenomenon that he had encountered or person that he had met. In conversations, essay and publicity articles, Donatas Sauka expressed himself as an insightful, precise yet also sensitive critic of society. D. Sauka wrote his fundamental study Lietuvių tautos savitumas ir vertė (The Peculiarity and Value of the Lithuanian Nation, 1970), a textbook for schools of higher education Lietuvių tautosaka (Lithuanian Folklore, 1987, with a second, extended edition published in 2008) and the monographs Žemaitės stebuklas (The Miracle of Žemaitė, 1998) and Jurgis Savickis – XX a. literatūros šifras (Jurgis Savickis: A Cipher of the 20th c. Literature, 1994). During the Lithuanian National Revival, Professor Sauka published an essay book titled Noriu suprasti (I Wish to Understand, 1991), while his culturological study Fausto amžiaus epilogas (An Epilogue of Faust’s Age, 1998) earned him the Award of National Culture and Art. After the professor’s passing, an intellectual, biographical manuscript was discovered in his personal archive, written during the last decade of the 20th century – a work born out of a need to pay his debts to his own time. This publication is dedicated to reminiscing on the period of his studies at Vilnius University as well as the postgraduate studies he undertook during 1948–1956. Some fragments of the manuscript and the respective comments were prepared for publishing by Saulė Matulevičienė.

For more than a half-century (its first issue was published in 1956), Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philologia has run continuously, acquiring national and international prestige. Its fields of interest – literary and linguistic research, together with ethnology, poetics, etc. – have attracted many contributors, the great majority of them from Romania and Europe.

The publication’s thematic diversity attracted appreciation from many academic environments: European (especially Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia), American and, recently, Japanese and Korean, which has lead to an increase in the number of external partners in charge of coordinating thematic issues.

Studia Universitatis is presently enjoying higher visibility in the academic circles thanks to the quality of the published material and the activity of the review committee (both domestic and foreign) who evaluate the contributions from authors and coordinators of thematic issues.

After the CNCSIS evaluation in 2005 all issues were published entirely in foreign languages, mainly in English, French and German, but also in Spanish, Italian, Norwegian and Japanese.

The editorial board have included personalities representative for the new fields of research towards which the publication is expanding. The editorial team, as well as the ISI reviewers, believe that linguistic diversity acts as a guarantee for global visibility for Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philologia.

Taking Back Europe in Valdas Papievis’s Novels

Author(s): Aušra Jurgutienė / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

The Novels of Contemporary Lithuanian Writer Valdas Papievis Eiti (To Go) and Odilė, arba oro uostų vienatvė (Odile, or the Solitude of Airports) – are two of the most successful variants of Lithuanian literature elicited by globalisation and the end of the Cold War. Not only because after the fall of the Iron Curtain that divided the West and the East and the declaration of Lithuania’s independence the author now lives and writes in Paris, but also due to the fact that his novels written in Lithuanian and describing contemporary Paris and Provence create topical and artistically mature narratives about the newest transformations of the European identity into an intermediate state. The article discusses the author’s uniquely romanticized tradition of existen tialism and emphasises the moments of Lithuanian and French communication that establish the three main motifs of an individual’s migration: home / to go / solitude, refining their existential and aesthetic meanings. The novels remind the reader that the forgotten natural and cosmic dimension of a human life is of no less importance than the social, historical and national environment determining it. The novels erase the ancient boundaries between the Eastern and Western European stereotypes; therefore, their French and Lithuanian origins are not noticeably in conflict, rather they merge into a common European memory, marked by sadness and disquietude.

Tapatybės išgyvenimas: Julijono Lindės-Dobilo Blūdo analizė

Author(s): Giedrė Šmitienė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 6/2006

The model of the exchangeable identity is widely spread out in the academic discourse as well as in the common thought. On the contrary this paper deals with the passive identity as the sameness that functions in the corporeality of senses or acts. The passive identity anchored in a flesh in question here is treated as a generator of the declared identity. The following considerations in the paper are based on the novel Blûdas by Julijonas Lindë-Dobilas. The considerations begin with the identity set from the outside; then they cross over to specific experiential fields in which the own incorporated identity is recognized and elucidated for self awareness. The novel Blûdas is interpreted as the text where the national self-consciousness unfolds.

Tapatybės virsmo istorija: Vaižganto Pragiedruliai ir 1918–1920 m. konfliktas dėl Vilniaus

Author(s): Mindaugas Kvietkauskas / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 5/2006

This article deals with the problem of representation of the Lithuanian national identity in the novel Pragiedruliai (Bright Spaces) by Juozas Tumas-Vaižgantas (1869–1933). The classical novel, which was planned to become an epos of the Lithuanian national revival, was published in three parts during 1918–1920 in Vilnius, at the height of political and military conflict between Lithuania and Poland over the possession of this multinational city. The author himself was one of the main Lithuanian combatants in the field of nationalist ideology and press as he edited the main Lithuanian dailies (Lietuvos Aidas, Nepriklausomoji Lietuva) in Vilnius in that period. In his numerous press articles, Vaižgantas discussed Lithuanian identity as a phenomenon born from the local spirit of nature, formed by the primeval forces of biosphere, and organically evolving into the modern state of national consciousness. By suggesting this model of “organically modern” and “naturally democratic” Lithuanian identity, Vaižgantas was creating an antithesis against the image of Lithuanians as uncivilized barbarians propagated by the Polish nationalist side. However, the novel Pragiedruliai reveals much more diverse and complicated process of conversion of the “natural” or “pantheist” Lithuanian consciousness into the modern national selfimage. While trying to elaborate the symbolic literary narrative of this identity transformation, Vaižgantas included intertextual references to Pan Tadeusz, a 19th century Polish epos about the Lithuanian Grand Duchy noblemen by Adam Mickiewicz, as well as symbols indicating the intricate link between the Lithuanian identity and the cultural history of the Grand Duchy. The original opening chapters of Vaduvų kraštas (The Land of Vaduvos), the second volume of the novel, presented an acute criticism of the Lithuanian “natural” consciousness from the perspective modern cultural liberalism. Thus the clear construction of identity used by Vaižgantas in his political rhetoric becomes complicated and in some cases is even undermined in the polysemantic literary texture of his novel.

Tarmės įtaka Mariaus Katiliškio raštų kalbai

Author(s): Janina Švambarytė-Valužienė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 76/2017

The article describes linguistic views of writer Marius Katiliškis (real name is Albinas Vaitkus, born on 15 September 1914 in Gruzdžiai, Šiauliai district; died on 17 December 1980 in Lemont, a suburb of Chicago), who comes from Northern Lithuania, Žagarė district, discusses the lexis of Šiauliai sub-dialect of the Western Aukštaitian used in Katiliškis’ works and dialect speech patterns that the writer is known for. The article is compiled with reference to the material of the manuscript of the Glossary of Marius Katiliškis Works (abbreviated as KtŽ), compiled by the author of the article. KtŽ lexis is compiled from the novels Miškais ateina ruduo (1969), Užuovėja (1990), Išėjusiems negrįžti (1990) and a collection of short stories Seno kareivio sugrįžimas (2003). Katiliškis had a good command of Žagarė speech: he had heard quite a few stories told in it, collected and noted individual words, their forms and language expressions. Dialect lexis abundant in Katiliškis’ writings indicates that the writer acted as a dialect user, i.e., created words, formed collocations not included into any dictionaries, used various nuances of word meaning. Words used or created by Katiliškis are affective, noticed by the reader as new, emotional, finally interesting in the way of phonic and semantic meaning. In Katiliškis’ writings the story is relayed by using simple and extended sentences or thoughts that are divided into short sentence components. It seems that the writer wishes to halt the reader for a moment and to emphasise every collocation or phrase. Usually, this kind of fragmented sentence also conceals an emotion expression. Katiliškis’ writings, as indicated in the article, are written in local dialect, i.e., dialect language used in 20th century. Up till this day, the development of standard language requires a more in-debt study by linguists focused on various areas of research, and Katiliškis’ writings are texts on which such an investigation should be grounded.

Tautinė tapatybė lietuvių biografijose (Jonas Basanavičius, Jonas Šliūpas, Vincas Kudirka)

Author(s): Vaidas Šeferis / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 5/2006

The article deals with the autobiographic and biographic texts of three most important authorities of the Lithuanian national revival at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century: Jonas Basanavičius, Jonas Šliūpas and Vincas Kudirka. The goal of the analysis is to capture significant moments in the evolution of the national Lithuanian identity becoming a part of the personal identity by Basanavičius, Šliūpas and Kudirka and also to compare their autobiographic self-images with those provided by later biographical texts. The article shows not only that Basanavičius, Šliūpas and Kudirka represent very different forms of the national self-consciousness, but also that there are large differences between autobiographical and biographical interpretations of the national identity.

Tautiškosios religinės tapatybės svarstymai literatūros teologijos aspektu

Author(s): Dalia Čiočytė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 5/2006

The article sets to explore the theoretical principles of literary theology which is employed to discuss and interpret the works by Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas – the classic writer of Lithuanian literature. It is assumed that several Putinas’ works represent different forms of Lithuanian religious identity: traditional Western Christianity and modern individualism. The latter is being interpreted in the context of the deistic notion of God. A hypothesis is being made that some strong emphases on such aspects of Lithuanian Christianity as the fear of God may have been influenced by the emergence of the deistic and atheistic concepts of the Deity.

Teksto adresato vaidmuo lietuvių egzodo poezijoje

Author(s): Karolina Bagdonė / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 69/2018

The role of the reader as a textual model, the impact of the text on the reader, and the correlation of the two are not sufficiently studied in the Lithuanian 20th century exodus poetry. Studies often focus on the empirical role of the reader with an emphasis on the reader’s reactions, on images or themes, leaving aside the reflection of the act of reading. The study of the reader model in the context of exodus poetry is complicated due to a purified, “unornamented”, airtight, and un-communicative poetic language. This language is used to tell the fate of a literature in exile (‘a literature without a reader’). This article focuses on the conditions of literary communication, structural elements of the texts, studies of poetic language, and uses them to reconstruct the reader model, which appears in the texts of Liūnė Sutema (Zinaida Nagytė-Katiliškienė). The analysis of the interaction of a poetic text and the reader reveals the commonality of literary creation and our nature. And the attempt to evaluate questions about reading the texts is parallel to the reflexion of all human experience.
