Dvostruko putovanje Vladana Borojevića: Jugoslavija, moja domovina Gorana Vojnovića

Author(s): Dejan Durić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2020

In the novel Yugoslavia, My Homeland by Goran Vojnović, the protagonist reveals that his father, whom he thought was dead, is actually alive and accused of war crimes committed in Croatia during the war of the 1990s. Therefore, he embarks on a search that is taking place in the states of the former Yugoslavia. The protagonist of the novel summarizes the identity issues characteristic of former Yugoslav space, but also outlines the basic features and problems of the transitional society. Individual drama is a stimulus for considering the concept of post-Yugoslav identity because the protagonist performs two searches at the same time: for the father and for the personal story. The paper examines the relationship between space and memory through the prism of the conception of post-Yugoslav identity.

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.

Encoding Textual Variants of the Early Modern Slovenian Poetic Texts in TEI

Author(s): Nina Ditmajer,Matija Ogrin,Tomaž Erjavec / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The paper deals with the problem of encoding the verses and textual variants in the critical edition of Foglar’s Manuscript, a Styrian Baroque hymn book from the mid-eighteenth century. We first show the diplomatic transcript of the verse in selected problematic cases, after which we present the method applied to produce a critical apparatus for approaching textual variants. The base text, i.e. Foglar’s Manuscript, is compared with versions in eight other manuscripts and prints from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Variants are encoded with XML elements according to the TEI Guidelines as units of the critical apparatus. We highlight some examples of the detailed encoding of rhymes, feet, verse replacements, and textual variants on the spelling, vocabulary and lexical levels of the language. To conclude, we present a number of possibilities for the online display of the electronic diplomatic transcript. The need for the adaptability of these tools to the Slovenian literary tradition is evident.

ESEJ O POEZIJI EDVARDA KOCBEKA

Poezija Edvarda Kocbeka (1904-1981) omeđena je dvema godinama: to su 1934, kad je objavljena njegova pesnička zbirka Zemlja i 1977, kada su, u okviru Sabranih pesama, osim zbirke Pentagram, u kojoj su sakupljeni većim delom partizanski, ali i neposredno posle NOB nastali tekstovi, objavljene i zbirke Nevesta u crnom i Žeravica.

First as Creon, then as Chorus: Slavoj Žižek’s Antigone

Author(s): Matic Kocijančič / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The article critically evaluates The Three Lives of Antigone, Slavoj Žižek’s first dramatic work. Žižek’s polemical rewriting of Sophocles’ tragedy is examined in the broader perspective of Žižek’s philosophy and other Antigones: those of Sophocles, Jean Anouilh, Bertolt Brecht and Dominik Smole. Slavoj Žižek has interpreted Sophocles’ Antigone in numerous philosophical works. In his earlier treatises, he mainly gave a cautious summary of Hegel’s, Heidegger’s and Lacan’s theses on Antigone; lately, however, Žižek’s attitude to Sophocles’ Antigone has grown decidedly negative. The main point in Žižek’s critique of Sophocles’ tragedy is that his Antigone is not an appropriate symbol of genuine social revolt. Based on this conviction, Žižek contrived his own version of Antigone with an alternative ending in which the choir carries out a revolution and condemns Antigone to death. It is argued in the article that Žižek’s dramatic project fails to convince. It is essentially a superficial apology for political violence, which can ultimately only be understood as a veiled defence of the political status quo.

From Minor Literature to Neoliberal Noir: The Detective Novels of Sergej Verc

Author(s): Primož Mlačnik / Language(s): English Issue: 43/2022

In this article, we analyze the politics of representation in the detective tetralogy (1991- 2009) of the late Slovenian and Triestinian writer Sergej Verč. Addressing several aspects of Verč’s primary literary semiotic device of schizophrenia, we trace a simultaneous literary and chronological shift from minor literature to neoliberal noir. We expose the fundamental representational ambiguity by analyzing the detective triad (murder-victim-criminal), the fetishization of detective clues, the erotization of detection, and the underlying binary oppositions. Verč’s detective novels critique the Slovenian capitalist transition but also reproduce culturally conservative representations of gender, sexuality, and family.

GOOD INTENTIONS: OTHERING LGBTQ LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE SLOVENIAN LITERARY SYSTEM

Author(s): Andrej Zavrl / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The article looks at the position of LGBTQ literature for children and young adults in the Slovenian literary system. In particular, it attempts to demonstrate that LGBTQ texts are often written, understood and didacticized with (implicit)reference to difference, empathy, acceptance and otherness. It analyses literary and critical texts with a focus on the apparently well-meaning processes of othering found at the levels of plot, character, writers’ didactic interference, critical reception and publishing. These processes influence how the members of the in-group perceive the members of the out-group (both of whom can be readers and writers) and how each see themselves. Not only do they reflect, but they also help shape reality and impact on the ways individuals are treated in society. Therefore, the criteria of literariness, though essential, are not absolute, and all agents in the children’s and young adultliterary system should take account of the human/children’s right to inclusion.

Hedwig von Radics-Kaltenbrunner. Porträt einer verkannten deutschsprachigen Autorin aus Krain

Author(s): Tanja Žigon / Language(s): German Issue: 6/2011

U radu se predstavlja i opisuje životni i stvaralački put obrazovane i načitane Bečlijke Hedvig pl. Radiks-Kaltenbruner (1845-1919), koja se 1876. godine preselila sa porodicom u Ljubljanu, a istovremeno predstavlja i pokušaj da se rehabilituje ova ,,prećutana” i zaboravljena autorka. Iako je Hedvig pl. RadiksKaltenbruner bila aktivna na brojnim područjima javnog života i dostizala zavidne uspehe, ipak su joj, kako slovenačka tako i nemačko-austrijska književna i kulturna istorija, uskratile značajno mesto u kulturnom i društvenom životu koje joj pripada. Rasprava potvrđuje tezu da je, u drugoj polovini 19. i početkom 20. veka u Ljubljani, Hedvig pl. Radiks-Kaltenbruner stvarala i radila kao posrednik između nemačke i slovenačke kulture, i da je u Kranjsku donela brojne nove ideje koje je tu i ostvarila (osnovala je j avnu biblioteku, bila jedan od osnivača ljubljanske Narodne i studentske kuhinje), a pored toga su i njeni publicistički tekstovi, objavljeni u poznatijim nemačkim novinama i časopisima tog vremena, bili posebno analizirani i komentarisani.

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.

HLAPČEVSTVO

Author(s): Tine Hribar / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 30-31/1999

Lahko bi rekli: kakršen gospodar, takšen hlapec. Toda Cankarjevi Hlapci ne govorijo o hlapcih v realnem, temveč v moralnem pomenu. Gre predvsem za hlapčevstvo; a v času, ko smo na Slovenskem imeli hlapce še tudi zares: po kmetijah, gostilnah in podobno.

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.

Imagini ale concentraționismului de front în opera lui Vasili Grossman („Viață și destin”) și Boris Pahor („Necropola”). Literatura ca istorie și memorie

Author(s): Cristian Chirca / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2020

History and literature complement each other. In other words, a historical text has a literary dimension, and a literary text has a historical dimension. History tells about the past, but does not decipher its internal mechanisms. Literature, on the other hand, helps us understand how behaviors and identities are formed. History shows us the mistakes of the past, but does not give us enough elements to avoid repeating them. This is what literature does, and the works of Grossman and Pahor, representatives of two cultures - Russian and Slovenian - are an argument in this regard. These two authors present us with an image of war and one of the greatest horrors of the twentieth century, the concentration camp.

IMAGOLOGIA DI FRONTIERA: IL CASO DI TRIESTE

Author(s): Jadranka Cergol / Language(s): Serbian,Italian Issue: 30/2020

L’articolo si propone di delineare lo stato degli studi imagologici di frontiera analizzando due sistemi letterari che nascono e si sviluppano nello stesso luogo, ma in due lingue diverse: la letteratura italiana e quella slovena in una città che è l’emblema dell’incontro tra le due etnie, cioè Trieste. Dopo un’introduttiva riflessione metodologica sulle letterature comparate e sul metodo imagologico, verranno presi in considerazione soprattutto quegli autori triestini lungo tutto l’arco del 20° secolo che riflettono nelle loro opere letterarie l’incontro con il vicino, concittadino nella stessa città, ma di lingua e cultura diversa. Saranno messe in risalto alcune considerazioni di tipo storico-letterario che rispecchiano l’ambiente multiculturale di Trieste e il dialogo tra le sue due identità.

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.
