“Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted”. Vladimir Bartol’s Novel “Alamut” – Belated Entry in the Modern Balkan Context

Author(s): Malamir Spasov / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2015

“Alamut” (1938) is a novel by Vladimir Bartol (1903 – 1967) – Slovene author from Trieste. It has been defined as both “marginal literature” and “brilliantly written work”. However, only in the 1980s and 1990s Bartol’s novel became the most internationally successful and bestselling work of Slovene literature, partly due to its strangely contemporary relevance. And yet there has been surprisingly little comparison between “one of the most original works of Slovene literature” and the modernistic literary creativity of contemporaries of Bartol’s generation elsewhere in Southeast Europe – for instance authors such as Bulgarian Boris Shivachev, Romanians Camil Petrescu, Anton Holban and Mircea Eliade, and even Serbian Miloš Crnjanski. Regrettably, “Alamut” is not translated in Bulgarian or Romanian yet. Apart from the fact that it is a gap which needs to be filled, such a juxtaposing seems to be quite alluring, loquacious and valuable. This study represents an attempt to commence similar comparison and to initiate a broader discussion between both extremities of the Balkans.

čuješ li me? I tri drame

Author(s): Petra Pogorevc / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1-2/2018

Izdavanje koje nove knjige za mene je predstavljalo centralni događaj na slovenskoj književnoj sceni u prošloj godini - na to pitanje ne mogu odgovoriti u jednini. Bila su to objave dvije knjige, koje nose potpis iste autorice, dramatičarke Simone Semenič. Definitivno najboljoj, najhrabrijoj i najizrazitijoj savremenoj slovenačkoj dramskoj spisateljici je u proteklom desetljeću uspio spektakularan proboj sa scenske margine u glavne pozorišne institucije, više djela joj je uprizoreno, također, u inozemstvu - no, ipak je tek s izlaskom te dvije edicije dobila prve knjige svojih drama. Zbog toga što je svojim pisanjem i drugim zalaganjem za razvoj savremenog dramskog teksta zaista temeljito prodrmala savremenu slovensku dramu, za meneje izdavanje njenih knjiga književni vrhunac 2017. godine.

ZNAČILNOSTI KRAJŠE PROZE SLOVENSKIH KNJIŽEVNICA

Author(s): Silvija Borovnik / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 2/2014

This article is an overview of the characteristics of the short prose of Slovenian female writers from its beginnings to modernity. It indicates that even among the pioneers of this group (many of whom discussed various taboo subjects of Slovenian social and family life) there was a woman who rebelled against tradition. This tradition is still in place today. Furthermore, an overview will be provided of the most distinctive female authors of the 20th century, and of their short prose. The first Slovenian female writers were frequently characterized as “fellow travelers” with their male colleagues in important literary directions. Nowadays, previous and current female writers are recognized, and share new literary historical findings and interpretations such as this article.

Župančičeva Kovaška in gibanje preporodovcev

Author(s): Ivan Vogrič / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 1/2010

The author emphasises the influence that Oton Župančič had on the members of the Preporodovci movement, a national radical group named after the newspaper called Preporod (Renaissance). This movement was active before World War I, especially among pupils and students. The author especially focuses on the poem Kovaška (The Blacksmiths' Song), published for the first time 100 years ago and chosen as a motto of the aforementioned group in the Preporod newspaper. It is interesting that the influence of this poem can also be felt in the symbolism connected to this movement and in the names for its key members ("kovači" and "kladivarji"). The author also establishes that the Kovaška poem is an example of socially conscious literature, similarly as certain other Župančič's poems from that period.

ИНОСТРАНЦЫ В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ СЛОВЕНСКОЙ ЛИТЕРАТУРЕ И ИММИГРАЦИОННАЯ ПРОБЛЕМА ЗАПАДНЫХ СТРАН ЕС

Author(s): Anetta Buras-Marciniak / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2014

A new and different world, hitherto unknown, has begun to emerge in many districts of certain European cities, in a tendency that dismays and often shocks their native populations. Immigrants living on the outskirts of the secities, and pushed to the margins of society, create their own states within states, where integration processes are non-existent. This paper deals with the problems of national identity and analyzes the emergence of invisible/visible ghettos and borders on the basis of contemporary Slovenian and European literature.

Словенский язык и словенская национальная, региональная и локальная идентичность

Author(s): Danila Zuljan Kumar / Language(s): Russian / Issue: -/2014

Language constitutes an important part of identity; therefore, a definite relationship can be established between the stages of development of the national language and forms of identity. The formation and development of the Slovenian national language, starting in the late seventeenth century, during the period of National Awakening, and of Slovenian national identity can be divided into six stages or periods, all of which saw the social functions of the Slovenian language change. In the 1990’s, emphasis on Slovenian national identity reached its peak, at the same time that the effects of globalization became noticeable in Slovenia, increasing the attention of the Slovenians to their regional and local particularities and the diversity of their local dialects. The article focuses on the different forms of national, local and regional identities that have emerged during this period in Slovenia.

Эминрантология. Научно-исследовательский вклад польской русистики

Author(s): Izabela Kowalska-Paszt / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 150/2015

Based on the literary and cultural material, the article discusses two functions played by the term of emigrantology as a legacy of three waves of Russian emigration in the 20th century. The term was introduced by Lucjan Suchanek to the research space of Slavic emigration. It has systematized the area of intellectual and scientific self-reflection (including literary studies, historiography, philosophy and theology, and cultural studies), which developed in the community of Russian emigration. Additionally, the term provides modelling of the need for interdisciplinary and in the nearest future trans-disciplinary studies on the complex cultural phenomenon of Slavic emigrations. In this particular context, the article presents major research directions and achievements of Russian studies in Poland.
