Auto-stereotypes and Hetero-stereotypes in Slovene and Italian Poetry About Trieste From the First Half of the 20th Century

Author(s): Ana Toroš / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

This article brings to light the socio-political conditions in the Triestine region, at the end of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century. These conditions influenced the formation of stereotypical, regionally coloured perceptions of Slovenes and Italians in the Slovene and Italian poetry about Trieste from the first half of the 20th century, which were specific to the Triestine area or rather the wider region around Trieste, where the Slovene and Italian communities cohabited. This article also points out that these stereotypes are constructs. The Italian Triestine literature most frequently depicted the Italians (native culture) before the First World War, in accordance to the needs of the non-literary irredentist disposition. In this light, it depicted them as the inheritors of the Roman culture, wherein it highlights their combativeness and burning desire to “free” Trieste from its Austro-Hungarian prison. An increase in auto-stereotypes among the Slovene poetry is noticeable after the First World War and is most likely a consequence of the socio-political changes in Trieste. The Slovene Triestine literature depicted the Slovenes (native culture) after the First World War as “slaves” and simultaneously as the determined defenders of their land, who are also fully aware of their powerlessness against the immoral aggressor and cruel master (Italian hetero-stereotype) and so often call upon the help of imaginary forces (mythical heroes and personified nature in the Trieste region) and God. The Italian Triestine literature mostly depicted the Slovenes before the First World War as an inferior people, often referred to by the word “ščavi”. After the First World War, the Slovenes are depicted merely as the residents of the former Austro-Hungarian Trieste, meaning they were part of the narrative surrounding Trieste, only in when the narrative was set before the First World War. In this case, pre-war Slovene stereotypes appear, also depicted as part of the literary myth of the “Habsburg” Trieste, namely as the folkloric characters from the surrounding countryside.

Drama. Savremena slovenska drama između intime i društvene kritike (priredila: Mateja Pezdirc Bartol)

Author(s): Mateja Pezdirc Bartol / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 1-2/2019

Savremena slovenska drama nije zaokružena i jedinstvena pojava sa očiglednim karakteristikama, već splet različitih tematskih, motivskih i idejnih elemenata, jezičkih varijanti, žanrovskih modela i dramaturških istraživanja, zato možemo u nastavku njene elemente označiti samo u obrisima, koji ne mogu sadržati sve varijante njenih poetika. Najprije, pak, pogledajmo ko su dramatičari i dramatičarke koji stvaraju u vremenu od osamostaljenja Slovenije 1991. pa do danas, te kakav je njihov društveni status i položaj unutar slovenskih pozorišta.

Edvard Kocbek

Egy szlovén keresztényszocialista vizionárius

Author(s): György Lukács B. / Language(s): Hungarian / Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this study is to examine the political career of Edvard Kocbek (1904–1981), the internationally recognised Slovene writer, poet, Christian Socialist thinker and politician. Kocbek became well known in 1937, after publishing a long article about the Spanish Civil War, in which he raised his voice against the fact that the main Slovenian party and the Church leadership supported Francisco Franco. In World War II he and his Christian Socialists cooperated with the communists in the Liberation Front and Kocbek has received high ranking positions after the war, but as a Christian, he had no place in the new regime and was forced to resigne. After a decade, he could publish his literary works again. In the afternoon of his life, he raised a particularly unpleasant question for the regime regarding the massacres committed by the Yugoslav Communists after World War II, which was a taboo subject till then.

Edvard Kocbek ili hipoteka dvostruke (ne)vjere

Author(s): Zdravko Zima / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 21/2016

O Edvardu Kocbeku, velikom slovenskom pjesniku i ratniku u različitim značenjima te riječi, nije uputno svjedočiti kao o disidentu. Ne zato što se u jednom času distancirao od oficijelnih stajališta stanovite organizacije ili grupe, u njegovu slučaju katoličke crkve i komunističke partije, nego zato što je cijeli njegov vijek, a samim tim njegov intelektualni i revolucionarni put bio i ostao izvan kanona.

Heterotopija i istina književnosti u romanu „Jugoslavija moja dežela” Gorana Vojnovića

Author(s): Rok Bozovičar / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 14/2016

This article aims to question the relation between literature, space and its (potential) truth. Through the analysis of theory of fiction (Pavel, Doležel, Blanchot), its social, material effect, and especially through foucauldian perspective of literature as heterotopia, the article tries to conceptualise and to posit a place of literature in a wider social space. For this reason the main question is not how literary space is created, but instead where is the place of literature as heterotopia, and how Goran Vojnović’s novel Jugoslavija moja dežela is placed in social space. The importance of place of literature in a wider social sphere lies in its in-betweeness: it is at the same time a part of social reality and running from it – the other space (heterotopia). Therefore, the literary discourse should be understood as a material force that can create a potential space for the other (or other space), which in reality does not have its place or is marginalised, even suppressed. From this perspective we conclude that this is literature’s institutional role and its truth.

Identitáskonstrukciók három délszláv regényben.

(Ivo Andrić: Omer pasa, Milorad Pavić: Kazar Szótár, Jože Hradil: Képek arc nélkül)

Author(s): Zsuzsa Tapodi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: III/2016

Ivo Andrić gives a diverse religious and ethnic tableau, but the change of identity in his work does not become a problem set, the religious and language shift is motivated by the advancement in the hierarchy of power, while in Pavić’s novel the problem of identity is dominated by a labyrinthine nature and opacity, harmony proves to be lost forever. In Hradil’s novel problematizing gets the upper hand. However, it is the Slovenian author who succeeds to show the most humane behaviour, leading to true reconciliation.

IVAN KUKULJEVIĆ SAKCINSKI U SLOVENSKOJ PRIJEVODNOJ KNJIŽEVNOJ KULTURI SREDINOM 19. STOLJEĆA: JURAN I SOFIJA ILI TURCI KOD SISKA I OBLIKOVANJE SLOVENSKOGA NACIONALNOG IDENTITETA

Author(s): Urška Perenič / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1-2/2019

In 1850, Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski’s Illyrian-Croatian plays Juran i Sofija ili Turci kod Siska (Juran and Sofija, or the Turks at Sisak, 1839) and Stjepko Šubić ili Bela IV. u Horvatskoj (Štepan Šubic, or Bela IV in Croatia, 1841) were published in Slovene translation in the book Dve igri za slovensko glediše (Two Plays for the Slovene Theatre). First, the paper considers the plays in a wider context of contemporary Slovene-language drama of the same period, and then in a somewhat narrower context of dramatic works in the Slovene language in (South) Slavic literature, wherein the discussion takes into account the position of these two plays in the developing system of genres of translated drama, since these two works occupy a distinctive place because they representing model heroic plays. Special emphasis is placed on the first play, which is not only Kukuljević’s most well-known work, but was, generally speaking, better received in the Slovene context. This can be explained in a number of ways: 1) due to to specific socio-political conditions (the translation into Slovene is from the period of Bach’s s absolutism marked by increased German pressure on the Slovene and Croatian territory); 2) due to obvious social relevance of the Turkish topic (in the Battle at Sisak the Slovenes and Croatians behave heroically, independently and cooperatively); and 3) due to the play’s specific features, in particular its dramatic personae, setting, and Slavic character (in the play, Toma Erdödy, Juran and Andrej Turjaški act in accordance with Slavic reciprocity, and the setting of the play is Slavic). These features, in turn, enabled identification with the characters and promoted national emancipation. The genre of the heroic play filled the gap in the Slovene literature, which Fran Levstik anticipated in his 1858 Slovene literary programme, which is also the first Slovene programme of this type.
