"Živanine cipele": patrijarhat, mizoginija, i nacionalizam u romanu Knjiga o Milutinu Danka Popovića

Author(s): Jasmina Radojičić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 19/2015

Through the lens of feminist critique and theory of literature, this paper will attempt to critically analyze the narrative strategies in the novel The Book about Milutin by Danko Popović which are directly related to the valorization of patriarchal values. By analyzing the way in which gender is presented from the perspective of the book’s two narrators, Milutin Ostojić and his wife Živana, this paper will try to show the relationship between the stereotypical depiction of the female identity in the novel and its importance in creating the desirable type of society. This analysis will then be linked with the remarkable success that the novel received after its publication and the fact that it is still perceived as one of the most important Serbian anti-war novels of the late 20th century. This work will have as its aim to highlight the importance of the revival and new examination of those strands in Serbian literary tradition that in practice actively and openly promoted the ideals of patriarchal society.

"КЛАВИЈАТУРА ПАМЋЕЊА" И ПРОСТОР "ГДЕ СВИХ ВРЕМЕНА РАЗЛИКЕ ЋУТЕ": ПОРОДИЧНА, ЛИЧНА, НАЦИОНАЛНА И КЊИЖЕВНА ИСТОРИЈА У ПОЕЗИЈИ И "МЕМОРОМАНУ" АЛЕКСАНДРА ПЕТРОВА

Author(s): Milica V. Ćuković / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 70/2019

The paper shows the shaping and the presence of the elements of family, personal, national, and literary history in Aleksandar Petrov’s poetry (especially in the collection Slovenska škola) and his novel Memoroman. For a hybrid genre, a genre bordering on a novel and memoir, Aleksandar Petrov’s Memoroman is characterized by the combining of fictional elements on one side and memories of real people and events on the other. This paper compared Aleksandar Petrov’s Memoroman to Miloš Crnjanski’s Itaka i komentari, as well as to Aleksandar Petrov’s poetry. The poem„Smoljni” by A. Petrov and the figure of the mother are connected to a chapter in Memoroman in which, through the description of the Institute for Noble Girls„Smoljni” and the description of the migrant destiny of A. Petrov’s mother, Irina Ip- olitovna Karatejev, this description is confronted with tsarist, bourgeois, communist, and Bolshevik Russia, in the same way the fatherly figure from poetry is associated with parts of Memoroman that point to the Mongol, Caucasian, and Asian origin ofA. Petrov. Beside the family history, the Memoroman exhibits elements of personal history, described through erotic and literary coming of age of the author/narrator/ meta-author, while elements of literary history in A. Petrov’s Memoroman analyzed in this paper are foremost related to figures of Miloš Crnjanski, Laza Kostić, Osip Mandelstam, and Marina Tsvetaeva, who are closely related to a specific sense of time which determined the composition of Memoroman as a „keyboards of memory” in prose.

"Сродници" на историјским раскрсницама

Author(s): Svetozar Koljević / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 151/2013

Svetlana Velmar-Janković’s essay collection Relatives (Srodnici) draws attention to the literary modeling of the battle between good and evil in human nature, analyzing a wide range of various storytellers and poets, including Sveti Sava, Stefan Prvovenčani, Janko Veselinović, Svetolik Ranković, Ivo Andrić, Živojin Pavlović, Jovan Dučić, Laza Kostić, Stanislav Vinaver, Momčilo Nastasijević, Tin Ujević and others. While discussing prose works, the author often devotes her attention to the observer’s angle, the “storyteller” or omniscient narrator, particularly stressing the importance of the internal monologue, where the artistic imagination sometimes transgresses the borders of the writer’s original idea, with bountiful results. In relation to poetic texts, the author points out the transformation of ordinary words, moving away from their literal, standard meaning and transposing natural occurrences into spiritual and cosmic space via a metaphorically complicated coupling. As a spiritual thinker, novelist and expert for reflexive prose in European literary history, Svetlana Velmar-Janković points out – with some occasional biblical notes in her messages – the dramatic echoes of great historical crossroads in individual human destinies, often including recollections of the contemporary world’s moral crisis.

(Ауто)полемички агон Бранка Миљковића

Author(s): Dragan Hamović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 172/2020

The paper deals with the polemical potential of Branko Miljković’s essays and critical reviews, bearing in mind the cultural and political setting of Tito’s Yugoslavia. Of primary interest are the rhetorics of hiding ideologically suspect ideas in autopoetically charged sections. We also intend to outline the subversive elements of the poems about the leader of the Yugoslav revolution and symbols thereof, considering the poet’s autopolemic poetics. From the present-day vantage point, it is easy to underrate the subversiveness of the “neosymbolists” on the tumultuous literary landscape of the time, a mere decade after the Second World War and the radical social upheaval that immediately followed it.Miljković takes up the programmatic development of neosymbolism, with noticeable polemic drive towards the nihilism of the surrealist doctrine (originally in the essay Poezija i oblik [Poetry and Shape], in which he takes up a clear position concerning the main literary camps of the time). The editor the third volume of the new edition of Miljković’s Collected Works (Eseji i kritike [Essays and Criticism], 2018), Snežana Milosavljević Milić, points out how in the subtext of the poet’s critical reviews and essays “one can trace the history of the poetic and ideological turmoil of the late 1950s Yugoslavia”, which is what we endeavoured to do in this paper. Insofar as one can speak of Miljković’s polemical strategy, in the milieu of limited polemics, the great mosaic essay Milosavljević Milić mentions represents an elaborate and fervent polemic of a bright poetic and critical mind wearing the façade determined by the circumstances and givens of the literary landscape of the late 1950s communist Yugoslavia.

(Велики) рат у светлу компаратистике

Author(s): Bojan Jović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 165/2018

This paper discusses the possibility of studying the complex phenomenon of the First World War from the perspective of the contemporary comparative (general) literature. The beginning of the research introduces an interdisciplinary approach to the large-scale, active and diverse participation of intellectuals, writers and artists in the first global conflict in human history, which had a profound impact on the European culture and creativity in the aesthetic-poetic, conceptual and ideological, and socio-political domain. A comparison of attitudes towards the war is given, in general thoughts and in the works of writers and artists at the beginning of the 20th century (Italian and Russian Futurists, German Expressionists), as well as at the outbreak of the actual conflict, with reactions ranging from an enthusiastic acceptance to a mere fulfilling of the civic duty to an open opposition, emigration or actual desertion. A two-way impact of the immediate war experience in the artistic practice is presented – on the one hand, at the poetic-aesthetic level, through the presentation of death, destruction and suffering, with parallels drawn between the reality of war and the artistic world shaped in the foundations of the European literature (Homer) or contemporary aesthetics (Futurism, Expressionism, Cubism), and on the other hand, some practical applications of the avant-garde aesthetics in warfare («cubist»-like camouflage patterns). Particular emphasis is placed on the contextual and formal features of the aesthetic and poetic treatment of the war, functionally associated with the state of the system of literature (genres and forms) and the expressive possibilities of the context (time, environment) including the diachronic analysis. The end of the paper stresses the impact of the Great War on the dynamics of artistic movements and the creation of conditions for a number of different artistic phenomena, during and after the end of hostilities: the anti-war response with a clear rejection of the assumptions of the bourgeois civilization, including logic and reason (Dadaism); after the changes in borders, the disappearance of old and the emergence of new states and the displacement of a large number of people, the emergence of strong centres of groups of international artists (Paris, «Russian Berlin»), or generational connectivity and public appearance of artists (the first generation of Serbian avant-garde).

(НЕ)ДЕЧЈА ПОЕЗИЈА МИЛОВАНА ДАНОЈЛИЋА

Author(s): Jelena P. Veljković Mekić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 53/2014

Through an analysis of structures of Milovan Danojlić´s poetic texts this paper aims to point out those specificities which enable the interchange of a poetic code equally among children and adult recipients. Danojlić achieves the aforementioned through topics which are not intended exclusively for children due to absence of a child lyrical subject, semantic complexity and ambiguity, thought stratification and complexity, life morals and play which is quite often two-layered. Human beings and the complexity of their lives, vice and virtue, as well as some other important issues regarding human existence were appealing to the poet and through his poetic expression he gave his answer which reveals the truth, refrains from illusions and refuses dissimulation. Thus, his patriotism is awakened, his world is not homogeneous and it is marked with differences and opposites, his man is far from ideal, childhood is not always cheerful and careless, and play is based on the principles of destruction, parody and irony. Danojlić´s poetry is an example of maturity of his poetic style which blurs the distinction between naïve poems and serious literature intended for adult readers.

A falu emlékezete – virtuális falvak, mikrovilágok és novellaalakzatok

Author(s): Gabriella Lódi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2016

The traditional literary representation of the village has completely changed in the contemporary literature. It is no longer the symbol of isolation, narrow-mindedness, of a non-informative medium, but that of the individuality and originality. The depiction of the local scenes from an ironic, parodistic aspect characterizes the writings of the younger generation. The documentation of the micro worlds and over-mythologization of the village-situations manoeuvre the texts. All stories are related, get written further and take a shape in a closed space of a micro community that already transforms its characters with undetermined identity and its discouraged readers into the virtual literary medium.

Absurdity and/or Reality : Grotesque and Tragicomic Realism in Balkan Spy (1983)

Author(s): Julija Pešić / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

This article explores the forms and functions of grotesque realism in the play Balkan Spy (1983) (Balkanski špijun) by Dušan Kovačević. The analysis is focused on the mechanisms of grotesque that the author uses in order to create a tragicomic version of reality, and on the effects of this aesthetic choice. The analytical approach to the dramatic text shows that Kovačević employs elements of both conventional and modern theatre. In other words, contemporary grotesque realism, caricature, irony, bitter/dry and subversive humour are the most dominant dramaturgical techniques that the author brings in order to create his characters as well as the absurd world caused by political paranoia.

Aforizam kao poslednji bedem odbrane, Sećanje na Iliju Markovića (1940–2016)

Author(s): Jovica Trkulja / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1-2/2017

Aforističar Ilija Marković preminuo je u petak 9. septembra 2016. godine. Pokojni Ilija se rodio 1940. u hercegovačkom selu Drijenjani. Posle rata njegova porodica se preselila u Vojvodinu. Živeo je, radio i stvarao u Novom Sadu. Relativno rano je ušao u književnost gde je stekao ugled jednog od najpoznatijih i najplodnijih aforističara. Opredelio se za formu aforizma koja predstavlja jedan od najkraćih umetničkih žanrova i koja je najviše odgovarala njegovom senzibilitetu. Tu formu je koristio za izražavanje misli iskazanih sažeto u nekoliko reči, ili ideja iskazanih kratkom rečenicom, na takav način da jednom kada se čuje teško se zaboravlja. [...]
