When you are marking a decade of your journal’s existence, there is every reason to celebrate. At the very beginning of 2020, it looked as though the entire year would unfold in the atmosphere of celebration – in February, the project Knjiženstvo won a significant award, the “Anđelka Milić” prize, and there was a plan to organize in May a round-table discussion about Zofka Kveder and Julka Chlapec Đorđević, with an accompanying exhibition of posters from the project.

The main goal of the research presented in the paper is the unveiling of the relations between forming the topic, characters and motives in the apocrypha Hagiography and Feats of Job the Righteous and in the book of the Old Testament The Book of Job; the particularities of those relations and their mutual impacts. In the paper, there is a successiveness between the hermeneutic-interpretative, deductive and comparative methods, where the comparative method is the cardinal one. Special attention is dedicated to the way in which the genre orientation affects the topic and motives, as well as the way in which the text of the apocrypha bases its legitimacy. The main conclusions are based on the difference in modelling of the commonplaces in writing, as well as the presence of the a priori characterization of characters in the text of the hagiography and the individualization of the characters in the biblical text.

The paper examines the angelological-poetic relations in the poetry of Vasko Popa, Branko Miljković and Vojislav Karanović. Beginning with the medial posi- tion between the poet and the poem, the angel, with the poet‘s intervention, becomes an active principle in discovering the poem as such. He simultaneously exists in the space of the poem itself, as well as in the space of its realization in language, and its role is doubly translational: it translates the poet into the space of poetry and brings poetry closer to the poet. The given process flows through the original approximation and depiction of the poet and the angelic being / body, and it ends in the creation of a poem, which is, in its characteristics, close to the angelological complex.

Samoubojstvom okončani kratki život Branka Miljkovića kao da je pjesnika učinio zauvijek mladim i dao mu svojstva mitske osobnosti. Smrt u dvadeset i sedmoj godini zaokružila je opus koji je inače imao težine i razloga za dugo trajanje, a kao torzo i nužno fragmentarna cjelina još je zadobio i značenje izazova za čitateljsko dopunjavanje, vrijednost nacrta za interpretativno dograđivanje. S obzirom da je Miljković učestalo pjevao upravo o smrti i svoje riječi ispisivao u odnosu prema ništavilu, njegov rani kraj doživljuje se izričito predviđen pjesništvom, a pjesnikovo tijelo kao da je time zadobilo na uvjerljivosti, istinitosti, sudbonosnosti.

Antigone by Dominik Smole is a literary text which gave rise to a question of the possibility of reconciliation in Slovenia. I understand reconciliation as the process of easing the social tension, the main consequence of which is the re-establishment of connections within a community or between individuals. The same question arises in relation to Cassandra by Boris A. Novak, although his play focuses on a different, personal aspect of reconciliation. Literary Darwinism and neurocognitive literary studies open up a theoretical possibility to understand individual and collective confrontation with difficulties in establishing and maintaining interpersonal relations, social cohesion, and the role of an individual in a community. It is on these theoretical foundations that I set up a literary Darwinian model of analysis for both plays, which I employ analyzing the bases of both heroines’ actions. On the other hand, by applying the proposed analytical model, we can better understand which cognitive mechanisms are at the bottom of the similarities between Antigone and Cassandra and why there are indelible differences and tensions between them.

This paper discusses Rousseau’s approach to the relationship between literature and economy. Since there was no literature or economy in the contemporary sense in the pre-revolutionary France of the 18th century, the links between the literary and the economic were less concealed. These fields were not strictly distinguished but made up a tight knot. Drawing upon the dialectical approach, I read Rousseau’s questioning of the literary-economic node on several levels: i.) the economic conditions of the literary practices in the context of French absolutism; ii.) the economic contents in literary works; iii.) the overlapping of the literary with economic forms, and iv.) the economy of literature that incites courage and calls for a change of the socio-economic reality.

Romanticism is not just a passive observer of the formation of the commodity-based society. There is a deep discomfort in romanticism about the tendency of an independent economic domain. This orientation can be followed in the case of such phenomena as money, measure, fiction, vitalism, or nature. These issues are now involved in the transformed context of economization, and there is a deep disturbance on this occasion in romanticism that appears to be a paradigmatic case of crisis-ridden subjectivity. Based on this, we can discuss the involvement of romanticism in relation to the phenomenon we designate the commodity-loop that includes the set of objective and subjective determinations related to the commodification. Some interpreters state that the novel of the 19th century (and romanticism, as well) “naturalized” the economy. The „naturalization“, however, here does not imply the connection to nature, but transforming the economy into a “natural fact” in the sense of an ideological normalization. The term “facts” comes together with the modern economy. “Naturalization” is actually a process that separates modern man from “nature”, that is, this term does not imply the inexhaustible creativity of nature. We believe that the position of literature and romanticism is much more ambivalent in relation to this figure: the mentioned commodity loop contains different responses of the emerging modern subjectivity in relation to objective determinations. Literature in romanticism stands in profound ambivalence: it cannot be indifferent to an autonomized economy but is far from being a pure reflection of it. We argue that romanticism, in fact, denaturalizes the commodity-mediated economy and reveals the historical determinateness of capitalism.

This essay analyzes how the process of financial quantification of linguistic labor affected the development of the social form of literature in capitalist societies. My methodological framework is cultural materialism, through which the classical communication model of literature is reinterpreted in accordance with the objective relations which make it possible. It proceeds from the intersection of language and money as universal equivalents, the emergence of linguistic labor power, through the commodification of language, formation of use and exchange values in the said context, and the formation of literary discourse. Along these lines, I attempt to show how the modern understanding of literature emerges at the beginning of the 19th century opposing the institutions of private linguistic property, as a specific form of labor which is not labor, which thus cannot be subsumed under capital, and whose concrete articulation aims to have a universal reach, in spite of the fact that its products necessarily become commodities in order to reach the public. Literature, therefore, up until the middle of the 20th century, understands itself as a strategy of resistance to the capitalist mode of production that simultaneously cannot sustain itself without its institutional mediation. Finally, this essay aims to show how the given process was crucial in the articulation of linguistic forms of modern literature, as well as the autonomous norms for its evaluation, which we know by the name of aesthetic value.

In the essay the author analyses the problematics of genocide based on correspondence between Filip David and Mirko Kovač Kiedy kwitnie zło. Książka listow 1992–1995 (When evil flourishes. A book of letters 1992–1995) to later juxtapose it with studies on Shoah. She ponders the generational perspective of people whose lives were tarnished by the Nazi-Germany occupation (Filip David – born 1940, Mirko Kovač – born 1938). The article most of all aims at reconstructing the stances of the two authors of letters and showing genocide as a realm of incessant discussion, vague affects, unsystematized knowledge. The author undertakes an attempt to reconstruct only some of the topics and contexts accompanying the issues discussed in David’s and Kovač’s letters, particularly: the soul-searing descriptions of the Bosnian War of 1992–1995. She shows that the language facet of violence proves to be a challenge to reflecting on literature in the correspondence between the two intellectuals. When faced with the disintegration of hitherto social order in the former Yugoslavia, the nationalist discourse, as social studies and research on genocide suggest, prepares the ground for activation of violent behaviours, justifies them, and plays a key role in fomenting the genocidal repression. As a result of the said processes, the authorities create and reinforce nations’ cultural self-images, tighten the control over ethnic purity of collective identity, instigate conflicts between neighbours based on “the blood and soil myth,” cherry-pick the xenophobic discourse of the past, and force through with ethnical interpretations of culture.

Павловићева посвећеност кутурно-друштвеним и митско-историјским фазама у развоју људске цивилизације непрестано се прелива са есејистичког на песнички рад, и обрнуто, те се ове праксе код њега тешко могу одвојено посматрати. Укупна Павловићева есејистика садржи у себи више проблемских сегмената, али они нису оделити простори већ саставни делови једне целовитије књижевне и културне мисли која се деценијама код овог аутора конзистентно објављивала, у чему се препознаје тесна повезаност његове есејистике са песничким опусом (касније и романсијерским), што је довело до обликовања једног вишег степена стваралачке кохеренције. Циљ овог рада јесте да, упоредним сагледавањем есејистичких и песничких текстова, укаже на заокупљеност културолошким и антрополошким феноменима у опусу Миодрага Павловића, посебно феноменом жртвеног обреда.
