Ликови историјских драма Матије Бана између националног, политичког и приватног живота и могућност за самообликовање

Author(s): Mirjana Bojanić Ćirković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 8/2013

This paper, through Greenblatt’s theory of self-fashioning and correlated with Foucault’s understanding of power and discourse, determines the identity of the characters of the historical dramas Marojica Kaboga and Knez Nikola Zrinjski by Matija Ban, and the possibility of their “slipping out” of their assigned roles. The identity of the characters of Ban’s historical dramas symbolized several levels: national, cultural, political and private. The invention of intent-mentioned historical drama allowed for discourse on power, and found space for self-fashioning heroes and their personal choice. The final part of the paper answers the question whether historical drama with such certain tendency can examine or expound about personal identity.

Monologism or Dialogism of Epic Voice: Hegelian and Functional Theories of Epic Genre

Author(s): Aleksandar Pavlović / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2013

This article advocates for the reconsideration of some of the most influential theoretical discussions on epic and its generic features, such as those offered by Hegel, Lukács and Bakhtin. The Hegelian approach to epic, it is argued, also informed later scholars, such as the Chadwicks or Bowra, to posit an evolutionary model that considers oral traditions without long poems as somewhat inferior to Ancient Greek or Vedic, and to require a more complex and advanced social and national framework as the prerequisite for the birth of such long epics as the true realisation and embodiment of epic genre. As I will argue further, these generic distinctions were mostly formulated on a rather small sample of Homeric epics, and the material collected from various oral traditions in more recent times clearly shows the limitations of the earlier theoretical models. I will therefore advocate for a more inclusive, functional generic definition that takes into consideration the specific context in which epic functions in a particular oral tradition. The last section of this paper offers some implications of the theoretical discussion on the Serbian oral epic tradition, in particular to implicitly Hegelian national-romantic attempts to unify short separate songs about Kosovo or Marko Kraljević into great Iliad-like epic poems.

Stories and restoring: narrative, techology and rituals of womanhood

Author(s): Vladislava Gordić Petković / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2012

Although the challenges women have had to face in their attempt to create and circulate their intimate and public histories are much older than computers and informational highways, this paper will mostly focus on the ways women’s testimonies are mediated through the fictional and existential frames enabled by technology. The identification of women’s social self in Jelena Lengold’s Baltimore, will be, as a process that lavishly uses computer mediated communication, compared with the social and cultural reconstruction of motherhood in David Albahari’s novel Bait, and to the bleak dystopian confession of betrayal within the borders of an alienated technology-enhanced society in “The Gospel According to A Thirsty Woman” by Mirjana Novaković. The three novels are based on different kinds of women’s narratives, mediated through technology.

О стилској вредности именичких деминутива у Андрићевим приповеткама

Author(s): Milica Stojanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 6/2012

This paper discusses the style value of diminutive nouns in Ivo Andrić’s short stories between 1925 and 1941. Andrić’s style is characterised by the absence of expressives, although one notices a number of diminutive nouns the writer commonly utilized in nominal function. While the use of some diminutives achieves a certain stylistic and poetic function — it also reveals subtext and more accurately represents the psychology of his characters, in particular the psychological conditions and characteristics of the main character. Furthermore, this paper indicates the reactions and actions of the characters and describes their interior.

Ivo Andrić i pacifizam

Author(s): Miran Todorović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 77-78/2020

Pacifizam, iako utjecajan u određenim povijesnim razdobljima, ostaje do danas nedovoljno istražen pojam u znanstvenim istraživanjima. Iako su zadnjih godina zabilježeni određeni pomaci u pozitivnom smjeru, još uvijek izgleda kao da je veliki potencijal ove teme ostao nezapažen praktički u svim područjima humanističkih i društvenih znanosti – od povijesti, sociologije, politologije, sve do kulturoloških studija i znanosti o književnosti. Jednostavna pretraga Hrvatske znanstvene bibliografije CROSBI pokazuje tek 11 radova vezanih uz pojam pacifizma u rasponu od 1990. do 2019. godine. Neprepoznatost njene vrijednosti je jedan mogući razlog neistraženosti te teme, a drugi bi razlog mogao biti njeno svjesno zanemarivanje zbog netočne pretpostavke da u njoj nema dovoljno materijala za istraživanje. Da to nije tako pokazale su studije izašle u 2015. godini koje pokazuju bogat, neki bi rekli i nedovoljno prepoznat, antiratni i mirovni angažman u Hrvatskoj i regiji za vrijeme prije, tijekom i neposredno nakon Domovinskog rata i rata u Bosni i Hercegovini. Također je vrlo poznata činjenica da su se brojni glazbenici, umjetnici i pisci u svojim djelima i nastupima strogo protivili ratu i isticali njegove posljedice. Svejedno, znanstvena istraživanja koja bi potvrdila te prakse su rijetkost i zato vrijedi spomenuti navedene studije iz 2015. godine: riječ je o knjizi Borile smo se za vazduh Bojana Bilića i zborniku radova Opiranje zlu u uredništvu Vesne Janković i Bojana Bilića. Ti su izvori važni iz razloga što ne samo da su prvi koji specifično istražuju pacifističke prakse (u smislu da im je to primarni cilj, a ne usputni podatak) na ovim geografskim prostorima, nego i zato što predstavljaju primjer internacionalne i znanstvene suradnje među mladim znanstvenicima, od kojih većina radi i djeluje u inozemstvu, što može biti jedna od mnogo poražavajućih činjenica današnjega stanja u društvu ako je razlog iseljavanja nemogućnost mladih perspektivnih ljudi da svoje potencijale iskoriste u svojim domicilnim zemljama. Internacionalni pristup se pokazao izrazito plodonosan za područje pacifizma koje i samo po svojim principima ne dozvoljava nikakva ograničenja ni usustavljivanja po ikakvim nacionalnim ili klasnim osnovama.

Кругови тумачења, аналитички путокази. Критика критичке прозе А. Б. Шимића

Author(s): Jovan Pejčić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 21/2020

Poetry can do without the authorial aside. Yet, this is true for all literary genres. What happens, though, with poets’ critical pieces when these pieces – structured in order to highlight, in general theoretical terms, either an aesthetic phenomenon or a cluster of generic artistic features – surpass the realm of self-reflective ambitions of the poets themselves? In that case, we talk about a versatile or prolific author. The multi-directional nature of that agency, its dialectical essence, implies a possibility of autonomous existence of critical forms of expressing stances and judgments, independently of poets’ personal poetic standards. It is A. B. Šimić’s oeuvre that presents a fertile ground for discussing this complex issue of literary onto-theory: the history of reception of integral, that is, a separate study and evaluation of his poetry/ critical prose, proves in valid terms both uncertainty and arbitrariness in anti-theoretical approaches up to date to critical pieces of artists (in Serbian poetry, Šimić’s counterparts in this respect are poets Laza Kostić, Momčilo Nastasijević, and Miodrag Pavlović). This study tendency demands another segment of general discursive practice of literary critics be clarified. It is a constant conflict between principal interpretative concepts, so-called leading/major literary paradigms. With regard to this, the cognitive-logical power and aesthetic-critical integrity of the interpreter of the aforementioned relations come forward. Consequently, this is fully visible in the way A. B. Šimić’s status of critical prose changes in the Yugoslav and, in particular Croatian, literature of the 20th century.

Кратке форме у Андрићевој прози

Author(s): Tijana R. Popović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 21/2020

Oral literature is a significant part of written literary tradition, particularly when it comes to writers such as Ivo Andrić who often tend to thematise the historical past and folk culture. In his opus, oral literature emerges throughout various forms and it has different artistic functions. In this paper, the focus is on short forms of oral literary tradition in his fiction. The emphasis is on concrete examples of short forms in his novels and short stories, such as catchphrases, sayings, proverbs, curses, spells, predictions, toasts, alongside the cursory review of both lyric and epic oral poetry. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the multifunctionality of different modes of oral literary heritage in Andrić's prose oeuvre.

Интертекстуалност у Доментијановом Житију Светога Саве

Author(s): Sara N. Nemat / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 21/2020

Intertextuality is considered to be a contemporary tendency in literature. However, based on the conducted research, it has been confirmed that intertextual connections are present in Serbian mediaeval literary works. This work attempts to illuminate Domentian's Life of Saint Sava in an intertextual manner. The main goals of the paper are: to point out the intertextual links in Domentian's Life of Saint Sava, to identify their sources and the manner of manifestation of citation, and to confirm the thesis of intertextuality as one of the poetic features of mediaeval literature. In this way, we have established a dialogic relationship between the old and the new, that is, between mediaeval and contemporary literature.

Bosnia, Neoliberal Capitalism, Conservative Consciousness, and Citizens' Naivety

Author(s): Senadin Lavić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The historical process has posed a challenging question about Bosnia's national identity today. It is quite obvious that since the end of the 19th century, the historical course of a nation has been reduced to a "religious group" in which it is possible to recognize regression and unconscious existence. This represents a trace of the Ottoman period of hegemony in Bosnia, when the identity of the people was determined by religious affiliation. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the end of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in Bosnia, left Bosniaks solely perceived and defined as Muslims. What looks like naivety and powerlessness during the 20th century, should in fact be seen as ignorance of, and non-reflexivity on, one's own existence. In the Yugoslav system, they were designated as Muslims - with the capital letter M. At the time, it was announced as the solution to the national question! The clash of unfinished ethnic-religious constructions of Bosniak identity and the process of globalization in the first decades of the 21st century, led to paradoxical and somewhat tragic self-experiences and attempts to develop national consciousness, based on a religious matrix that is the foundation of conservative consciousness. This moves the whole of human destinies in the wrong direction once again, and the importance of the national or civic identity and political philosophy of statism are undermined and blurred by non-reflexive voluntarism. It seems that citizens’ naivety and their lack of knowledge about themselves and their own state framework, have led to a disastrous anti-Bosnian mentality and the extinguishing of the Bosnian national civic identity.

Bosanskohercegovačka kazališna produkcija na Festivalu MESS sa naglaskom na djela južnoslavenskih autora

Author(s): Gabrijela Andrejaš / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian Issue: 14/2018

Internacionalni teatarski festival MESS je osnovan u Sarajevu 1960. godine. Osnovan je pod imenom Festival malih scena Jugoslavije, a nakon 1974. godine mijenja ime u Festival malih i eksperimentalnih scena Sarajevo od čega potječe skraćenica po kojoj je festival i danas prepoznatljiv. Publika je iz godine u godinu imala priliku gledati i razvijati vlastiti teatarski ukus u kome je posebno mjesto pripadalo teatarskim inovacijama i eksperimentima uz neprekidno nastojanje da Festival postane ogledalom cjelokupne kulturne slike Bosne I Hercegovine, u čemu su uspjeli. Na festivalu MESS, za 54 godine, odigrane su 62 predstave 50 autora u 14 različitih bosanskohercegovačkih produkcija. Najviše pozorišnih predstava sadržanih u istraživanju učešća bosanskohercegovačke pozorišne produkcije na festivalu MESS sa djelima južnoslavenskih autora odigrano je u produkciji Bosanskoga narodnog pozorišta Zenica (17 predstava) te Kamernog teatra 55 (13 predstava). Od ukupno 50 južnoslavenskih autora čija su djela izvodila bosanskohercegovačka pozorišta na festivalu MESS, najveći je broj bosanskohercegovačkih autora (24 autora). Igrano je 13 predstava srpskih autora, 7 predstava hrvatskih, 3 predstave slovenskih i jedna predstava makedonskog autora. Sudjelovanje na festivalu MESS postalo je stvar prestiža mnogih generacija teatarskih umjetnika. Za ovo istraživanje od posebnog značenja je sudjelovanje bosanskohercegovačkih teatarskih kuća koji su igrali komade južnoslavenskih autora.
