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.

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.

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.

Kaplan Ivan Kretič in otroška pesmica v Cerknem leta 1937 ogrožata varnost italijanske države

Author(s): Boris Mlakar / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 1/2000

Based on archival documents, the most important being a preserved file in the fond of the Gorizia police office, the author, using the example of the parish priest Ivan Kretič in Cerkno, vividly presents a story illustrating the confrontations such as were typical in the 1930s between the Italian Fascist authorities and the Slovene clergy in the Primorska region. Kretič, by using the Slovene language and teaching his congregation national songs, which was seen by the Italian authorities as a deliberate attempt to hinder the Italianisation of the region, elicited a strong reaction from the entire Fascist ruling and repressive apparatus from Cerkno to Gorizia. Kretič managed to avoid punishment only by a hair's breadth. Yet because he continued with such and similar activities after he was transferred to the parish of Kojsko, he was sentenced to two years of confinement in southern Italy in 1939.

Author(s): Marija Stanonik / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 6-7/1984

Matija Valjavec can be considered one of the most important collectors of literary folklore in Slovenia and kaikavian Croatia. The rules of fieldwork which he followed could withstand, to a large extent, even contemporary professional critique. The purpose of this article is to present systematically Matija Valjavec's contribution to Slovenian and Croatian literary folkloristics. We should become aware of a task we still have in relation to Valjavec: to gather the folklore material which he published in various journals and other publications, and to republish it in a single volume in order to make his work more easily accessible to professionals, as well as to wider readership.

Medkulturnost v romanu Maje Haderlap Engel des Vergessens / Angel pozabe in strategija prevoda v slovenščino

Author(s): Silvija Borovnik / Language(s): Polish,Slovenian / Issue: 1/2016

The article analyses the intercultural elements in Maja Haderlap’s novel Angel of Oblivion (orig. 2011, transl. 2012). The novel, based on familial autobographical foundations and discussing the suffering of Carinthian Slovenenes during the Second World War, is unique also because the author, herself a Carinthian Slovene, wrote it in German. This fact was harshly criticized by Florjan Lipuš in his novel Enquiry for the Name (2013). He labeled Haderlap’s book release as linguistic heresy. The novel was translated into Slovene by Štefan Vevar. In this article, his innovative translation solutions, with which he stressed the role of the Slovenian language in Haderlap’s novel, are presented. In his translation, he managed to preserve the bilingual, intercultural and even Carinthian dialectal elements of which the novel comprises and which make this novel Slovene. It belongs to the work of the authors that are marked by a double, intercultural identity.

Author(s): Blanka Bošnjak / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 2/2018

Comparative analysis of the of the contemporary Slovene short prose awarded by the fable for the best short story collection, reveal some fundamental characteristics: the prevailing minimalism, from the perspective of the literary style, which is revealed through e.g. the dialogue discourse, mimetic speech with all linguistic specialties, short connections in communication between the characters and theming the subject’s identity crisis, interculturalism, intertwining of the rural and urban; the typology of the contemporary Slovene short prose is reaching new spheres (for example – Andrej Blatnik: Zakon želje, 2000).

O mestu in vlogi slovenske književnosti v nemško govorečem prostoru

Author(s): Silvija Borovnik / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 2/2019

Slovenian literature in Austria represents a case of multiculturality, but most of the time, biculturality and interculturality. The researchers claim that this type of literature belongs to Slovenian as well as to contemporary Austria nor German literature.

O političnem, vzgojnem in književnem delu Jožeta Pahorja

Author(s): Janko Liška / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 1-2/1972

Razpravo Iz boja slovenskega učiteljstva za neodvisnost (v letih 1926—1930) je Jože Pahor napisal leta 1960. Rokopis je ponudil s pismom z dne 2, maja 1962 Cankarjevi založbi. Ta mu je predlagala, da snov obdela obširneje, nakar je delo predložil Inštitutu za zgodovino delavskega gibanja. Tu je obležalo — iz nepotrebnih obzirov do avtorjevih sodobnikov. Vtem je umrl (1. septembra 1964). Na pobudo prof. Venčeslava Čopiča in podpisanega se je uredništvo Prispevkov za zgodovino delavskega gibanja odločilo za natis v tem letniku. Oba recenzenta sta opozorila na verodostojnost Pahorjevega prispevka in na njegov pomen za zgodovino slovenskega učiteljstva oziroma novejšo slovensko zgodovino sploh. [...]

O przekładzie tytułu (na przykładzie prozy słoweńskiej)

Author(s): Monika Gawlak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2015

The article concerns the issue of the interpreter’s freedom concerning the translations of the titles of prose works. The matter seems important not only because of the necessity of reserving the title’s essential functions (identification, information, pragmatic), and not only because of the need of the complex analysis of the original title — its working relationship, but also because of the ‘ambassadorial’ role of — this title in the secondary cultural space.

O sreći u savremenoj slovenačkoj poeziji

Author(s): Denis Poniž / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 264/1981

Parte prima - Ne znam da li je baš srećno odabran početak pisanja saopštenja o tome kako se sreća naselila (i kako se naseljava) u savremenoj slovenačkoj poeziji. I to ne samo zato što je slovenaoka poezija — zajedno sa slovenačkim kritičarima — zaokupljena turobnošću, žalošću i patetikom, što je postavljena na pijedestal ogranizma koji trpi i koji je ranjavan, čiji zadatak nije da otkriva radosti i uživanja ovog sveta, nego da govori o njegovoj prolaznosti i kraju. Ne znam, doduše, da li je poezija koja peva o sreći istovremeno i srećna poezija, ali su oni koji o sreći pevaju, uvek kada uopšte pevaju, svakako, srećni pesnici.
