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

Author(s): Jasmina Radojicic / 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.

"Сродници" на историјским раскрсницама

Author(s): Svetozar Koljevic / 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.

(НЕ)ДЕЧЈА ПОЕЗИЈА МИЛОВАНА ДАНОЈЛИЋА

Author(s): Jelena P. Veljkovic Mekic / 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.

This work is an important moment of Ignjatović’s life-work and also in the history of the Serbian novel.

O njemu naša čitalačka publika ne zna gotovo ništa."

AZ „ÁTTEVŐK” FELELŐSSÉGE (ARANY JÁNOS ÉS JOVAN JOVANOVIĆ ZMAJ FORDÍTÓI DIALÓGUSÁNAK IDŐSZERŰSÉGE)

Author(s): Hargita Horváth Futó,Éva Hózsa,Erzsébet Csányi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2017

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of János Arany's birth, the translator concept and practice of the 19th century again merit special attention. The purpose of the paper is rereading Jovan Jovanović Zmaj's Toldi-translation. Zmaj was one of the keystones of the era's Serbian-Hungarian literary and cultural contacts. He translated Toldi in 1857, Toldi's Evening in 1870 and Toldi's Lovein 1896 into Serbian. The Serbian translation of the epic work Toldi appeared in the first place in 1858 in the Medaković press in Novi Sad. The second edition of the translation appeared in 1910 being supplemented with Toldi's Love (Toldijina ljubav) and Toldi's Evening (Toldijina starost) in the edition of the Serbian Matica, and this text already reflects the new orthographic norm, the archaic Serbian writing style of the first edition being transcribed. The two stanzas of the prologue were left out from Zmaj's translation, however in the Serbian Matica edition it can be already read, and the notable introduction (translation in the translation) can be considered even as a guest text, namely this text is the translation of Blagoje Brančić living and learning for a while in Budapest. Zmaj in his first edition of text translation preserves the Péter Ilosvai Selymes mottos, but on Hungarian, he does not translate them. In the 1910 edition, the Hungarian recipient first confronts with the problem of deficiency, namely with the full absence of Ilosvai's motto. The translator theory and practice of the 21st century open new perspectives for Arany's Toldi trilogy, as well as the interpretation of its Serbian translation. Both Zmaj and Arany emphasize the practical aspect of translation; do not treat translation as a theoretical problem. Both of them are poets, virtuosi of the language. About Zmaj's Toldi translation can be noted that he considers the foreign text as "starting point" of his own poem. The introduction of the study focuses on the translator concept of János Arany's age, later emphasizes some comparative literature phases, and finally, in connection with the target text, raises the problem of the boundaries and cultural aspects of translatability. The research is mostly aimed at the first fragment of the Toldi trilogy, though has a glimpse on rendering the whole trilogy as well.

AВAНГAРДНИ POMAH БЕЗ РОМAНA

Author(s): Predrag Ž. Petrovic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2007

Starting from the positions of the novel in the Serbian literature from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the paper analyses the activities related to the establishment of a specific novel genre/sub-genre — the short novel in the period of avant-garde (1920s). The notion avant-garde novel is primarily related to the prose achievements of those authors who belonged to specific avant-garde movements or whose narrative strategies and poetic standpoints directly originated from the avant- garde poetics or were related to it. As the key ones, the paper singles out the issues of determination of the length of the short novel and its structural features, like experimental form (merging of genres, narration, composition, montage, intertextuality), awareness of its literary quality and lyrical nature. Between the short story and the traditional, longer novel, whose conventions were disputed and rejected, the short novel became an ideal avant-garde prose form for the study and development of new narrative techniques and expression of auto-poetic opinions. By its morphological diversity, the short novel of the 1920s significantly influenced the extension and complexity of the expressive possibilities of the novel in the Serbian literature from the previous century.

AУТОБИОГРAФСКИ ИСКАЗ У СРПСКОМ И ФРAНЦУСКОМ НAДРЕAЛИЗМУ

Author(s): Jelena Novakovic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3/2008

Ce travail examine les aspects de l’ecriture de soi dans le surrealisme en se referant aux textes des representants des deux groupes surrealistes qui se sont developpes parallelement, du groupe surrealiste de Paris (Andre Breton, Louis Aragon) et du groupe surrealiste de Belgrade (Marko Ristic, Dušan Matic), et qui sont marques par une volonte commune de rejeter la „litterature”, consideree comme l’expression du conformisme bourgeois, au profit de la „poesie” qui s’identifie a la vie meme et qui trouve son expression dans un discours autobiographique ou les limites entre la fiction et la realite s’abolissent.

Balkan History: No Longer European, Not Only Ottoman, and Not Yet National - A Case Study on the Historical Novel

Author(s): Albena Hranova / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2007

In the final chapter of Imagining the Balkans (1997), while advancing arguments on the concept of the Balkans as an Ottoman legacy, Maria Todorova writes: “Turning to the Ottoman legacy as perception, it has been and is being shaped by generations of historians, poets, writers, journalists and other intellectuals.” In the Bulgarian edition (1999), Todorova adds a paragraph with names of writers to which she was referring – Ivo Andric, Dimitar Talev, Dobrica Cosic, Nikos Kazandzakis, and Anton Donchev. Especially the Bulgarian figures lead us to the role of the historical novel in shaping this legacy. [...]

Bard za sva vremena? (Pjesničko djelo Alekse Šantića i njegova poetika i politika kulture)

Author(s): Sanjin Kodric / Language(s): Bosnian / Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the role and position of Aleksa Šantić’s poetic oeuvre in the literary canon of both Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Serbian literatures in Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as Serbian literature as a whole and Yugoslav literature. Special attention was paid to the early reception of Šantić’s poetic work, while emphasizing the discrepancy between local and broader understanding of the character and value of the author’s poetic oeuvre. In this way, the paper points to the complex process of canonization of the poetic work of A. Šantić, but also the possibility of its understanding today, particularly in terms of respecting poetics and politics of culture of the author’s time.

Between Destiny and Reality: Prophetic and Messianic Ideological Constructions in Serbian Literature During the Ottoman Period

Author(s): Pawel Dziadul / Language(s): English / Issue: 53/2016

This paper deals with prophetic and messianic ideological constructions found in Serbian literature of the Ottoman period. Prophetic accounts developed in two connected directions among the Serbs in this period. On the one hand, old Byzantine-Slavonic prophetic narratives (for example the Revelation of Pseudo-Methodius, the apocryphal Visions of Daniel, the Oracles of Leo the Wise) were copied and actualized according to the politico-historical context. On the other, new anti-Ottoman and anti-Islamic prophetic accounts were created. Serbian and South-Slavonic prophetic notions were mostly concentrated on the impending doom of the Ottoman Empire and the legendary emperor of the “last times”, who was supposed to vanquish the Ottomans. Moreover, the Serbs tried to understand the new historical context of the Ottoman period and perceive it through the theological prism. Therefore they started creating a suitable messianic perspective of their destiny with the help of old, well-known ideas from the Nemanjić period (for example the idea of “new Israel”). Both prophetic and messianic ideological constructions seemed to be consoling ideas, which were created to highlight the memory of the magnificent past in the dramatic period of the Ottoman conquest and domination.

Bilješke jednog pisca kao autopoetički, memoarski i putopisni tekst Sima Matavulja

Author(s): Ljiljana Pajovic Dujovic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 15/2017

The principle of the organisation of A Writer's Notes, which were published in the period from 1898 to 1903, involves the chronological arrangement of events and characters from different backgrounds that affected the shaping of Matavulj as a writer. Through his life and literary work, he was connected to many places: from Šibenik and Krupa, through Islam, Herceg Novi and Cetinje to Paris. Simo Matavulj (1852-1908) was a nomad and a Levantine, traveller and a bohemian, and thus this book whose main topoi are roads, square and cafés, confirmed, was so unusual for the 19th century Serbian literature, but were typical of realist literary epoch. He had a tendency to discover discrepancies between issues in a way that umasked the world he lived in, but often himself as well. He gladly concentrated on a point of view that made possible a humorous, ironic, parody-based or satirical subversion of issues and human characteristics. Writing about places and their influences, he discovered portraits of different people (of Count Ilija Jankovic from Dalmatia, the Duke of Medun from Montenegro, Spiro Poznanovic originally from Herceg Novi, etc.) as an optimal form which succeeded in synthesising the analytical as well as artistic demands and pretensions of A Writer's Notes.
