IVAN CVITKOVIĆ KAO SOCIOLOG RELIGIJE: ŠEST NEZAOBILAZNIH KNJIGA

Author(s): Ružica Cacanoska,Dragan M. Todorović / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

U sociologiji religije klasična religioznost određuje se kao jedinstvo religiozne svesti i religioznog ponašanja i udruživanja. Uz deklarisanje u religijskim terminima, neophodno je i na propisan način obavljati obrede i redovno prelaziti prag hrama (Blagojević 2005: 63). Odbacuje se subjektivna religioznost bez crkvenosti, budući da većina verskih struktura zahteva pravovernost iskazanu i kroz svakodnevno praktično potvrđivanje verničkog statusa (Đorđević – Todorović 2001: 157).

ЗАМЕТКИ О ЛЕКСИКЕ НАРОДНОЙ МИФОЛОГИИ В “СЛОВАРЕ БОСНИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКАˮ

Author(s): Anna Plotinkova / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The article deals with the mythological vocabulary associated with folk beliefs and folklore of the peoples in South Slavic countries (the designation of mental denotations – mermaid, vampire, wolfman, dragon, witch, etc.) in the central part of South Slavia. The distribution of such vocabulary on ethnolinguistic maps is studied in comparison with its presentation in the “Dictionary of the Bosnian Language” (2010). Conclusions are drawn that the “Dictionary of the Bosnian Language” reflects the processes of gradual loss of the folk mythological vocabulary of a number of originally inherent meanings. Folklore vocabulary begins to be used in slang and vernacular speech. New meanings arise that are associated with the zoological sphere, which occurs on the basis of previously known contexts from the field of “lower” mythology and folk views on nature. The “Dictionary of the Bosnian Language” as a full-scale lexicographic work in the presented word usage, word combinations and phraseological turns reflects a number of characteristics of the mythological characters themselves, known from ethnographic literature and field ethnolinguistic records that had been done by the author.

IDEÁLNA CESTA NEVESTY VE STREDOVEKU

Author(s): Patrik Pastrnak / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

One of the most important events in the life of a medieval woman was the journey of a bride. As a part of the nuptials this journey consisted of numerous ceremonies and rites. Along with thisjourney a woman was transferred from childhood to adulthood, from the authority of her father to the authority of her husband. Thus, it was not only the journey in a geographical point of view, but in a symbolical one as well. Despite the fact that virtually every medieval highborn woman set out on this journey, only one normative source concerning an ideal version of the journey is preserved. It is De institutione vivendi by Neapolitan nobleman Diomede Carafa and it was written as a wedding gift for Beatrix of Aragon and Matthias Corvinus in 1476. De institutione contains the genre aspects of a mirror for the queen and an guide for the journey. This unusual part – guide for the journey could have be added by an initiave of addressee, queen Beatrix, or more likely it was an invention of the author himself. Apart from advice on how to travel, how to take care of servants and household etc., Carafa recommends the young queen to seize this way as a chance. The chance to prepare herself for her future life and to visit special places and persons during the journey in order to get a personal prestige which will be vital to her fate. Beatrix is supposed to visit devotional places, important persons (pope, cardinals, her elder sister Eleonora, duchess of Ferrara). As a preparation for her future life she should gain every valuable information by which she would achieve the grace of her husband and mother-in-law – the information about how to govern one‘s household, how to learn the language of her new kingdom. An ideal journey of the bride, at least according to Diomede Carafa, is a well spent preparation for the future life and the role of queen. It is a time of maturation which may facilitate the process of transition.
