»Rekonsi«: prevodi Kosovelovih konsov in Chestermanove prevajalske strategije

»Rekonsi«: prevodi Kosovelovih konsov in Chestermanove prevajalske strategije

Author(s): Robert Grošelj / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 1/2021

The article deals with the analysis of Italian and Croatian translations of constructivist poems (the “conses”) by Srečko Kosovel, one of the most important Slovene poets. The translations of selected Kosovel’s constructivist poems are analysed by using Andrew Chesterman’s translation strategies. The analysis shows that, for the most part, in Croatian and Italian translations the literal translation strategy prevails, with Italian translations including more frequently other translation possibilities. In general, both translators have strived to preserve the multifaceted aspects of Kosovel’s constructivist poems by adopting a predominantly foreignising translation approach.

The archaic strata of the linguistic image of the world (on the basis of Slovenian and Slovak magic formulae)

Author(s): Mária Zsilák / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2013

It is the theoretical background of the linguistic image of the world that serves as a base to the author to present Slovenian and Slovak magic formulae as the archaic strata of the language. She has chosen texts of the same type from the scope of Slovenian and Slovak peasants’ way of healing. The Slovak texts were collected by the author at the end of the 20th century, while the Slovenian texts which were set down earlier are quoted from Vinko Möderndorfer’s work. Apart from the common Central European attitude, the author also points out the unique, national, and linguistic features, all reflected by the linguistic image of the world.

The Covid Pandemic and the Slovenian Poetry

Author(s): Marcello Potocco / Language(s): English Issue: 23/2022

To my knowledge, my poem chosen as an introduction to this contribution was the first »Covid« poem published in any Slovenian literary media. It was issued on August 14, 2020, half a year after the beginning of the crisis in Italy in the literary e-zine LUD Literatura (Potocco 2021). The poem assumes the point-of-view of an Italian resident describing the lockdown, but not opposing it. Instead, the main idea is hidden in the last four verses: the poem questions the possibility of humanism; by putting Darwinism, hedonism and freedom in the context of social media, it questions the validity of the ideological base of these beliefs when shared over these media, and this doubt is implicitly extended to the whole debate over Covid during the first few months of the pandemic. Putting aside that it was first published in an e-zine, I have to point out that it is due to this main idea that the lyrical narrator in the poem does not assume what I shall later describe as »the Slovenian perspective«. Thus the poem can be hardly seen as a representative of the mainstream Slovenian poetry. But it can be taken as a reference – actually as a contrast – to the mainstream Slovenian Covid poetry.

The Experience of Exile And Home in Connection with the Self-Understanding of the Poet in the Poetry by Tomaž Šalamun

The Experience of Exile And Home in Connection with the Self-Understanding of the Poet in the Poetry by Tomaž Šalamun

Author(s): Mateja Eniko / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

For the poetic creation of Tomaž Šalamun, one of the most important Slovenian modernist poets, the experience of staying abroad was crucial. This was his voluntary and conscious decision. Referring to Said, it was his choice to give force to his creativity. Šalamun’s necessity to go out of home borders is closely connected with his understanding of the role of the poet. In his poetry, exile is represented as experience that allows him to establish himself as a poet, gives him the power to create and to step out of the conventional frameworks. The motif of living abroad is presented in a tense relation to home (both in terms of intimacy and socio-political space). Starting from Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, the poet’s self-understanding of himself and his home is closely linked to the relationship with the other.

The Image of Bulgarians in the Poem Cycle Rapsodije bolgarskega goslarja by Anton Aškerc: The Imagological Perspective

Author(s): Alenka Koron / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

After a brief presentation of imagology as a field of contemporary comparative literature, the paper critically analyses the image of Bulgarians in the poem cycle Rapsodije bolgarskega goslarja (1902) by Slovenian poet Anton Aškerc (1856–1912). This cycle of thirteen poems deals with the liberation struggle of the Bulgarians from the Turks. The Bulgarian translations of the poems received a relatively extensive reception, which was not true of the original version in Slovenia. The present paper attempts to demonstrate the origin and function of the image of Bulgarians as representatives of a foreign nation or as the Other in the intercultural transfer of Aškerc’s cycle. From an imagological perspective, it sheds light on the social and cultural processes in which the poet’s image of the Foreign was formed.Keywords: image, drawing, text, manuscript, creative process

The New Women from the Margins

Author(s): Katja Mihurko Poniž,Viola Parente-Čapková / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The New Woman makes an appearance in the texts of both male and female fin de siècle writers, although unsurprisingly she was more often an important focus for women writers. And although women writers from the margins of Europe faced many challenges that were similar to those of their contemporaries in English speaking countries, they were also simultaneously confronted with local and contextually specific issues. In this article, we tackle the specificities of the literary New Women in Slovenian and Finnish literature, and in particular, the texts of Zofka Kveder (1878–1926) and L. Onerva (1882–1972). Both women writers sought ways of engaging with questions of female identity in societies obsessed with cultural nationalism, and which saw woman primarily in terms of her role as wife and mother. Both L. Onerva and Kveder foregrounded the New Woman, depicting her as wanting to live her life on her own terms, even if this coincided with a painful awareness of the difficulty of such an enterprise. Both writers suggested that the New Woman’s personal ambivalences and inhibitions were often felt more acutely than any external force. L. Onerva and Kveder enriched Finnish and Slovenian literature with bold new themes and depictions, adding their own provocative ideas about love, sexuality, and emancipation to those being expressed by other better known New Woman writers, including Ellen Key.

The Odysseus Motive in the Selected Works of the Slovene Poet Peter Semolič

The Odysseus Motive in the Selected Works of the Slovene Poet Peter Semolič

Author(s): Urša Prša / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2014

Classical mythology which is found in diverse kinds of art, particularly in fine art, sculpture, music, dance, theatre and literature, has inspired the European space for centuries. Here it is interpreted and transformed in different ways. Motifs of the antiquity have influenced and inspired Slovene literature, which accepted, rejected, or moulded them according to its current stage of development. Special attention will be paid to the time from the Romantic period on, when the characters of antiquity did not serve only the aesthetic purpose but also became metaphors of modern subjectivity. Odysseus motif appears most often on lyrics of the 20th century. The Odysseus motif can be denoted as a world literary phenomenon, as there is a wide array of literary works where this character appears in different forms and interpretations. He usually has different connotations which are mostly related to his character and his adventurous nature. He can be a cunning, intelligent person, a lover, a big patriot, an eternal traveler, etc. The main purpose of the paper is the observation of Odysseus' character. We wonder whether Odysseus is really the character from Homer's poem The Odyssey, or the motif occurs only as an allegory or a metaphor. Further on, an important question occurs in regard to the purpose with which the author uses this character, what his role is, how the author interprets the character, and whether there is an eventual transformation to be found. The selected representative Slovene poet is Peter Semolič, who also depicted the Odysseus motif in his poems. He is placed amongst modern poets and this paper shows how the Odysseus motif is represented and transformed, because Semolič is a rather unknown author at this point of view.

The Portrayal of Mountains in Nineteenth-Century Slovenian Poetry

Author(s): Marijan Dović / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Since the Age of Enlightenment, mountains have gradually changed from a predominantly geological category to an aesthetic one. The new, essentially spiritualized and aestheticized experience of the mountain landscape has found increasing appeal in both the visual arts (especially painting) and literature (especially poetry). Moreover, in the course of the long nineteenth century, mountains often became an object of nationalist appropriation. Such a development was also characteristic of Slovenian culture. This article deals with early Slovenian poetry and its relationship to mountains. It shows that Baron Sigmund Zois and the poet Valentin Vodnik already recognized the national and poetic potential of Mount Triglav with Lake Bohinj and Savica Falls. Their ideas found an echo in the Slovenian poetry of the period before 1848, but it was the great Romantic poet France Prešeren that added a historical-mythological layer to them in his Baptism on the Savica (1836). A brief overview demonstrates that Slovenian poetry from Valentin Vodnik to Simon Gregorčič manifestly contributed to making the mountains a sacred and mythical national place.

The Други светски рат и савремени словеначки роман

The Други светски рат и савремени словеначки роман

Author(s): Matevž Kos / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 169/2019

The article deals with the image of the Second World War in three contemporary Slovenian novels placing them in the context of the contemporary Slovenian fiction production, where the topic of the Second World War has been increasingly present over the last decade: Drago Jančar’s I Saw Her That Night, Maruša Krese’s That I am Afraid?, and Maja Haderlap’s The Angel of Oblivion. In analyzing them, the paper highlights their similarities and differences underlining the potentials of the novel about WWII in general. Moreover, the paper outlines the development phases of the Slovenian novel after 1990, pointing out that WWII was not an appealing theme for the poetics of postmodernism which characterized Slovenian fiction in the second half of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. The author argues that the war – which in the Slovenian and Yugoslav context in the period 1941–1945 was inseparably connected to the issues of the revolution, anti-revolution, civil war, collaboration, and the communists coming to power – reveals itself to be productive and inspiring for the contemporary novel. Namely, this topic not only offers a broad historical and thematic field but at the same time demands a sharp ethical reflection, as does any literary representation of the ground-breaking historical events.

Trieste, périphérie slave Une question de minorité à travers la slovénitude de Boris Pahor

Trieste, périphérie slave Une question de minorité à travers la slovénitude de Boris Pahor

Author(s): Igor Fiatti / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2017

Torn by ideological and identity stresses (existential ruptures in posse et in esse), Trieste has lived the European tensions looking for an impossible balance between the Austro-Hungarian cosmopolitanism and the affirmation of national cultures. With an application of the centre/margin paradigm, we intend to consider the role of the peripheral literature of this city – namely, the role of the literature of its ethnic minorities, especially the literary production of the Slovene minority. The work of Boris Pahor will help us to particularize the subject of this essay, which aims to grasp the "differential fact" expressing the singularity of the comparative approach.

Truth and lie in literature: Slovene writers sued for slander

Truth and lie in literature: Slovene writers sued for slander

Author(s): Aleksander Bjelčevič / Language(s): English Issue: 29/2017

In 1999 novelist Breda Smolnikar was sued for defamation in her novel Ko setam gori olistajo breze (When the Birches Up There Are Greening) by certain family Nakrst. Smolnikar received broad public support. In public defence different arguments were in play, the most frequent were trying to prove that the novel does not speak about the family Nakrst because (a) all literature is fiction and all literary characters are fictional beings; (b) similarity between literary character and a real person is always a coincidence; (c) all literature is a possible world and refers to people’s counterparts which are connected to real people only by transworld identity relation. In the article I try to show that these arguments are false: (a, b) literature sometimes refers to real people and thus the question whether a certain character is fictitious or real is an empirical question and not a question of poetic principle, can in the case of Smolnikar be resolved empirically (she published all judicia ldocumentation with detailed descriptions of the family Nakrst); c) the possible world argument is contradictory because it blends two opposite interpretations of possible worlds (the Transworld identity interpretation and the Counterpart interpretation). Dealing with these arguments I define fiction as follows: a) literary work becomes work of fiction when it contains at least one fictional being; b) Fictional being is a non-existent being which is intentionally created as such; c) whether or not a character is fictional is on author to decide (not the reader). In B.Smolnikar’s case the similarities between characters and the portrayed family are so numerous that no coincidence is possible. In the year 2007 Slovene Constitutional Court decided that the defamation was not deliberate and Smolnikar was declared innocent.

What is the Rationale of Periodization?

Author(s): Imre Szíjártó,István Molnár / Language(s): English Issue: 1-3/2003

Literary evolution in Hungary and Poland has had very much in common since the very beginning up to the present, but the division into epochs within each national literature has always been considerably different. Political changes played an important part in distinguishing various epochs of Hungarian literary history in the scholarship. Certain scholars combine the historical periods with literary movements or with spiritual movements. In Polish and Slovenian periodization literary movements dominate. The term Enlightenment and Positivism are also current. The latter corresponds to Realism and Naturalism in Hungarian and Slovenian criticism. The period between 1918-1939 does not have a common name in Hungary and Poland, whereas it is referred to as Expressionism and Social Realism in Slovenia. The comparative periodization of literatures in East-Central Europe can make literary scholars’ views more exact in cases when opinions differ in stating time limits for different periods. Such a comparison may contribute to a more thorough understanding of the “phase delays” that may have occured between these literatures.

Wina bez prawa. Struktura nowej iluzji

Wina bez prawa. Struktura nowej iluzji

Author(s): Andrzej Leder / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (7)/2015

Basing his argumentation on Freud’s essay “Civilisation and Its Discontents”, the author poses a question about the essence of suffering which appears when the Law of the Father is suspended and no longer protects against the death drive. The author formulates a thesis that in the contemporary social space, abandoned by the Law of the Father, it is disciplinary practices that play a key regulative role, pretending to form the relations based on the law. These practices transform the drive energy of Thanatos, which then finds its embodiment in the everyday lifelessness of bureaucracy, the coolness of rules and the excess hidden beneath them. The answer to this situation is Eros, which drives people to community – yet not so much in the form of a family as of an infinite and noneconomic continuum of local games of love and death.

Z JANKOM GLAZERJEM NAPOTI IZGNANSTVA

Author(s): Tjaša Markežič / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 1/2020

The German occupation of a part of Slovenian territory in April 1941 meant a breaking point in the lives of many people. Among the victims there were also Slovene authors. First, the Nazis established migration headquarters in Maribor and subordinate agencies to organise deportations; later, they established assembly camps in different places in Lower Styria. In Maribor they reorganised a part of the barracks in Melje into a camp. They were brought to different locations in Serbia, some also in Croatia.

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.
