ВЪПРОСЪТ ЗА БИТИЕТО НА МУЗИКАТА
This article attempts to approach three problems: 1) What does it mean that a work of music exists? 2) How does the experiencing of a musical artwork come into being? 3) Why does the world of a musical artwork remain ineffable? As to the problem of question 1), the solution the author proposes is that any musical artwork possesses an intermittent existence, devoid of the sort of permanence one finds in works of other arts. The problem referred to by question 2) concerns the conditions of possibility to intellectually experience a musical artwork; here an answer is sought by connecting time-consciousness and intentionality, phenomenologically interpreted. The problem referred to by question 3), regarding musicalitas ineffabilis, is addressed here as related to a certain primacy (both ontological and aesthetic) of the yet unfinished becoming over the now finished being

This essay attempts to outline the authentic existential phenomenology of the forest, and specifically, the existential meaning and feeling related to hornbeam and oak trees, in Haytov’s famous work Hornbeam Leaves. The article argues that in this book, Haytov`s insightful descriptions of trees, of the hornbeam and the oak, the pine and the creeping pine, the beech and the hazel, etc., deploy an amazing existential phenomenology of the Bulgarian forest, which amounts to no less than a genuine phenomenology of the Bulgarian soul.

The article sets itself a twofold aim – on the one hand, to present Süskind’s novel Das Parfum as an allegory of the Enlightenment, and on the other, to outline an aesthetic approach that would restore the rights of the so-called “lower” senses (e.g., smell and touch) in cultural distinction. In addition, it will be argued that Süskind’s novel playfully refers to the tradition of early German Romanticism, especially with reference to authors like Heinrich von Kleist and E. T. A. Hoffmann. Finally, perfume will be recognized here as a metaphor that represents the possibility to provide appropriate expression of the modern aesthetic worldview.

Debates held at gatherings to discuss the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina all too often involve abstract theoretical reflection, without taking into consideration the reasons the country is stuck in an impasse from which it can neither move ahead nor go back. Real understanding and an objective and informed view of contemporary reality in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be attained only by reference to the facts, which history has marked with its bloody seal. Bosnia and Herzegovina can be discussed only out of the depths of its experience, by sharing the horrors of its tragedy.

This essay considers aspects of how COVID-19 inflects debate about the trenchancy of the humanities. It does so through reference to Jacques Derrida’s ‘The University Without Condition’, which invokes the ‘New Humanities’. In counterpoint, reference is made also to Ali Smith’s Summer (2020), the last novel in the Seasonal Quartet, set in the real-time present. The essay proceeds through thirty discrete sections keyed to the style of a journal, offering commentary and inevitably interim reflection on the ‘X Humanities’ and their current plausibility, as well as on the representability and critique of the contemporaneous in fiction, theory and beyond.

The article discusses a collection of essays by Grzegorz Jankowicz entitled Blizny [Scars]. Jankowicz’s attainments are what constitutes the main focus for the author of the article – not only those relating to literary criticism, but also the untypical ones that belong to the sphere of “literary activism.” In the text, there is conducted a close analysis of the essayist’s self‑presentation considered in a context of the societal games of prestige and significance. Furthermore, a more general situation in the intellectual domain known as literary essayistic writing is outlined. Apart from the foregoing, the author ponders the issue of an emergence of the literary form in question, namely, the collection of texts – once dispersed and written in various circumstances, prompted by variegated impulses, and then consolidated, ordered to achieve a convincing monographic effect.
