Kišobran patrijarha Pavla. Kritika palanačkog uma

Author(s): Mirko Đorđević / Language(s): Serbian

Znamo da honorar od svojih knjiga ostavlja Crkvi, da je stari budilnik zaveštao unuku, ali ne znamo još kome je zaveštao svoj stari kišobran. Godinama smo ga viđali na ulicama sa tim starinskim kišobranom. Budilnik je njega budio za jutrenje, ali nije uspevao da probudi sabraću arhijereje. I sada na sahrani, ko sve nije bio pod kišobranom njegovim – i ko sve godinama pod njim stajao nije. Naravno, ne pod onim starim, već pod onim koji se podrazumeva za ono vlasti što je imao među sabraćom arhijerejima u Sinodu i Saboru. I tu je sva muka njegova, možda i udes njegove misije tokom dvadesetak godina na čelu SPC. Došla je sada da potraži utehu nad odrom i sama “kosovka đevojka” B. Plavšić, koja je sa ratovođama Karadžićem i Mladićem dobar deo Bosne zasejala grobovima. U mučnim godinama raspada države – sa zločinima koji su užasnuli svet – pokojni patrijarh se nije baš snalazio. Izgovarao je opomene, ne da nije, ali sabraća arhijereji, barem dobar deo među njima, nisu krili svoje ratne ciljeve. Ne, ne Isusu mira i pravde, već balkanskom bogu Marsu do crne zemlje su se klanjali. I druge su vodili, i sve nas, do ambisa iz kojeg još izašli nismo. I skoro nećemo.

Druga obala. Ogledi o zlu kulture i kulturi iskupljenja

Author(s): Slobodan Beljanski / Language(s): Serbian

Zašto se danas u Srbiji okleva sa otvaranjem tajnih policijskih dosijea iz vremena komunizma i, uopšte, zašto vlast voli da radi u tajnosti? Zašto se u našoj zemlji ne praktikuje lustracija? Zašto političari u Srbiji s podozrenjem gledaju one koji se zalažu za ljudska prava i civilno društvo? Zašto se izbegava rasprava o političkoj odgovornosti za ubistvo Zorana Đinđića? Zašto je kod nas pravna kultura zamrla? Ovo su neka od pitanja kojima se bavi autor ove knjige. Međutim, za rešenjima ovih problema Beljanski ne traga samo u okviru pravne literature, nego ide jednim zaobilaznim, krivudavim i “sporim” putem. To je put koji nudi filozofija prava i politička filozofija, gde Beljanski pronalazi putokaze za čoveka dostojnu orijentaciju u javnom životu, etičke repere u traganju za “drugom obalom”.

Talog. Ogledi o prednostima slobode

Author(s): Vladimir Gligorov / Language(s): English,Serbian

Pred vama su tekstovi koje je Vladimir Gligorov napisao za Peščanik, Blic, NIN, Helsinšku povelju, Ekonomist, Politiku, Danas, časopis Banka i Cord Magazine. Tekstovi su nastali između dva septembra, 2006. i 2010. godine. Na kraju knjige je izbor od devet eseja prevedenih na odličan British engleski, ljubaznošću The Bosnian Institute iz Londona i našeg prevodioca Ivice Pavlovića iz Novoga Sada. Naslov knjige je preuzet iz teksta Talog, napisanog u aprilu 2009, u kojem se analizira koliko rasizma i mržnje prema Albancima staje u jednu rečenicu Dobrice Ćosića.Ovo je knjiga sa poukom. Ona dokazuje da su ekonomija i politika povezane. Da društvo obilja naseljavaju slobodni ljudi. Najzabavniji deo su citati kojima autor počinje neke od tekstova. Tajno središte knjige je u eseju Identitet. Učite i uživajte: It is the thought, the smile, and the sound of the piano that matter.

The 630 species of cavernicolous animals, published until 2015, are listed with their localities and notes on their biology. The caves of some animals are briefly described, and some observations have been made of the zoogeography of this fauna. The Greek fauna is compared with the cave faunas of neighboring countries. The bibliography contains more than 300 titles of works regarding the Greek fauna inhabiting the caves. This fauna is very different from the fauna of neighboring countries. During the author's field surveys (since 1968) he has found several new species such as Speleodentorcula, Telsonius, Titanophyllum, Thassoblaniulus, Alistratia, Maroniela, Jason and others.

Konferencja Przeglądowa Traktatu o nierozprzestrzenianiu broni jądrowej (NPT) w 2015 roku: nowy kompromis lub ryzyko erozji

Author(s): Jacek Durkalec,Artur Kacprzyk,Marcin Andrzej Piotrowski / Language(s): Polish

Traktat o nierozprzestrzenianiu broni jądrowej (Non-Proliferation Treaty – NPT) został podpisany w 1968 r. i wszedł w życie w 1970 r. Pierwotnie miał obowiązywać 25 lat, ale Konferencja Przeglądowa i Przedłużająca w 1995 r. (NPT Review and Extension Conference) nadała mu charakter bezterminowy. Traktat jest niemal uniwersalny. Jego stronami jest 190 państw, a poza nim pozostają jedynie Indie, Izrael, Pakistan, Korea Północna i Sudan Południowy. Depozytariuszami traktatu są Stany Zjednoczone, Rosja i Wielka Brytania. NPT opiera się na trzech głównych filarach: nieproliferacji (art. I, II), rozbrojeniu (art. VI) i pokojowym wykorzystaniu energii jądrowej (art. IV). U jego źródła leży tzw. wielki kompromis (grand bargain) między pięcioma państwami nuklearnymi (USA, Rosja, Wielka Brytania, Francja, Chiny) a nienuklearnymi. Państwa nienuklearne zrzekły się prawa do posiadania broni jądrowej, a w zamian otrzymały pomoc w cywilnym wykorzystaniu energii jądrowej oraz zobowiązanie państw nuklearnych do działań na rzecz nuklearnego rozbrojenia. Nad tym, by państwa nienuklearne przestrzegały swych zobowiązań, czuwać ma Międzynarodowa Agencja Energii Atomowej (MAEA).

Neispričana povijest

Život s njima

Author(s): Nenad Popović / Language(s): Croatian

A book of essays Living with Them is the anatomy of the last Yugoslav decade, and the first three decades of Croatian reality. As an autonomous observer, and an analyst of cultural and ideological patterns, Nenad Popović creates a sketch for the typology of Croatian intellectuals, artists and politicians’ public personae. He creates sketches of mindsets that harbour religious fundamentalism, Yugonostalgia, or partake in the phenomena of mass culture. As in his previous books and public interventions, Popović is a pessimistic chronicler of his time, and his essays are qualified testimonies of a disjointed, crazy time in which Croatia and Europe are looking for themselves - spiritually, politically and economically. This book is a kind of Popović’s “private encyclopaedia” of Croatia. Although the author sees only caricatures and dramas of the big Croatian self-deception and its continuous blindness, from the late communism until this day, we can still discern his invitation to take a mirror in our hands. Publisher, translator, and writer Nenad Popović was born in Zagreb in 1950. He attended colleges in Zagreb and Bonn, and Freiburg with the scholarship Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst. He graduated in German Language and Literature and South Slavic Languages and Literature from the Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. In 1980. he became an editor, and afterwards the head editor of the publishing house Graphical Institute of Croatia. In 1990. he co-founded the publishing house Durieux, one of the first independent private publishing houses in Croatia, where he worked as the head editor until 2013. In 1999. he participated in founding of the literary Group 99. In 2002 he became one of founders of the Croatian Writers’ Society, becoming its vice-president afterwards. Since 1978, he has occasionally written for newspapers, magazines and radio, and since 1985 for the media of German speaking countries (Manuskripte, Literatur und Kritik, Kulturaustausch, Frankfurter Rundschau, Die Zeit, Weltwoche, et al.). For theatre he translated such authors as Sternheim, Bruckner, Bernhard, Fassbinder among others. He also translated books by Erwin Piscator, Kazimir Malevič, Boris Kelemen, Benn Meyer-Wehlack, Tilla Durieux and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. During Bosnian wars, he translated articles by Bosnian writers (Karahasan, Lovrenović, Filipović, Jergović) for German newspapers and magazines. He published books A World in Shadow (2008), A Treatise on Population (2014), Diary from the City of P. (2017), and Living with Them (2021). For his work he received many awards and accolades: Premio '92 per il lavoro letterario from the Italian Cultural Institute in Zagreb (1992), The Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding (1999), and, with Freimut Duve, Bruno Kreisky Award (1999). He was also awarded the Hermann Kesten Medal by the German PEN Centre in 2000. The same year he became an honorary citizen of Sarajevo. He is a member of the following organisations: Croatian PEN Centre, Cap Anamur - German Emergency Doctors, Cologne; Journalisten helfen Journalisten, München; International Forum Bosnia, Sarajevo; Association of Literary Translators of Croatia. He lives in Pula.

New Normal Beyond The Pandemic: Pandemiyle Birlikte Yerelden Küresele Yabancılaşmayı Yeniden

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish,English

The Covid-19 crisis, with all the horrors it has caused, has offered humanity an opportunity to reflect on itself and evaluate its point, even if it is delayed. In a very short time, we found ourselves worried about whether we could reach the objects we needed, whether we would lose our jobs or keep our freedom.Alienation is described as withdrawing or separation of a person or a person’s affections from an object or position of former attachment: alienation viewed as a sense of detachment from the values of one’s society, family, and even from one’s own feelings from the values of one’s society and family (S. L. Halleck). Different forms of alienation, such as cultural alienation, professional alienation, and religious alienation, are among the current issues. It is obvious that we need to define different forms of alienation along with the pandemic.I believe this book will not be the first nor the last research book published on the Covid-19 pandemic. Our aim is to leave a resource on the subject for the next generation of researchers. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the book and hope it will be beneficial for the academic community.

“Göç ve sanat ilişkisinin kökleri çok eski dönemlere uzanmaktadır. Ancak bu ilişkiyi ortaya koyan araştırma ve incelemelerin yeterli düzeyde olmaması, bu ilişkinin akademik anlamda tartışılmasını geciktirmiştir.

Doğal olarak bu çalışmanın, kapsamıyla alanyazında boşluk doldurması ve yeni çalışmalara öncülük etmesi beklenmektedir.”“Bu yapıtta, bir tanesi göç anlatılarını çözümleme yöntembilimi çalışması olmak üzere, sinema, görsel iletişim, yerleştirme, seramik, tasarım gibi değişik sanat alanlarından olan, birbirinden ilginç sekiz özgün çalışma yer almaktadır.”

Print Media and Civil-Military Relations in Greece and Turkey

Author(s): Duygu Ozturk / Language(s): English

The media in Greece and Turkey have played a crucial role in the political communication in their countries. Along with their main functions of monitoring the policies of the government on behalf of the public and providing news, the media in these two countries also served as key actors producing meanings through interpretative journalism. This study analyzes how Greek and Turkish newspapers’ columnists interpreted and framed military takeovers in their countries after the takeovers had happened. Refuting arguments in the literature asserting that Greek columnists kept their silence during the military regime due to censorship, while there was strong and open support in Turkey among newspaper columnists for the 12 September coup and the subsequent rule, this study argues that the situations in both countries were much more complex than these studies have claimed. It shows that important similarities existed between Greek and Turkish officers’ approach to the media in their countries during their respective periods of rule. In addition, Greek and Turkish columnists shared both similarities and differences in their framings and interpretations of the military’s takeover in their countries and the subsequent interregna.

Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture and Arts

Author(s): / Language(s): English

“Shades of Violence: Multidisciplinary Reflections on Violence in Literature, Culture, and Arts” explores the tapestry of violence across diverse forms of artistic expression, expertly edited by Sümeyra Buran, Mahinur Akşehir, Neslihan Köroğlu, and Barış Ağır. From the gripping introduction to the thought-provoking chapters contributed by an array of scholars, this collection navigates the multifaceted dimensions of violence. Muhsin Yanar’s exploration of Don DeLillo’s work calls for a posthumanist stance against violence, while Begüm Tuğlu Atamer questions the justification of violence in Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus.” The anthology expands its reach, examining slow violence in John Burnside’s “Glister” (Derya Biderci Dinç), portraying environmental violence in Bilge Karasu’s “Hurt Me Not” (Özlem Akyol), and unraveling psychological violence in Kate Chopin’s stories (Senem Üstün Kaya). Contributors delve into theatre violence (Gamze Şentürk Tatar), indigenous struggles against violence in Cheran, Mexico (Kristy L. Masten), Robert Browning’s “Porphyria’s Lover” (Derya Oruç) and the complex interplay of power in Anthony Burgess’s “A Clockwork Orange” (Şebnem Düzgün). The anthology also explores the contested space of the Black queer body (Taylor Ajowele Duckett), Nietzschean aggression (Yunus Tuncel), and various forms of violence in Giovanni Verga’s short stories (Simone Pettine). “Shades of Violence” emerges as an indispensable exploration of violence’s nuanced manifestations, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding through its diverse and insightful perspectives.

Druidism, Tengrism, Taaraism: Current Reactivations of Ancient Spiritualities and Religions, From Identity to Politics

Author(s): / Language(s): English

“In this book, we have named the phenomena neoreligion and reactivation. Neoreligion does not mean a change inside institutionalised religion, it does not correspond to some kind of dogmatic creative crisis, which would bring established religious groups to claim to create something new while only dusting out ancient components of their religion. It is not to confuse, either, with some kind of religious nostalgia, a desire to return to the origins or foundations of a religion. Such a dynamic can be observed with the born-again phenomena – obvious in the spheres of monotheistic religions – that is individual religious revivalism of people who are often searching for a supposedly original orthodoxy.Neoreligion, on the contrary, is the phenomenon where, outside existing religions, new religions are created, but not from nothing: they are reactivated in a new form. They take their roots – or at least claim to do so – in traditional or ancient beliefs and adopt some of the imagined traditional behaviours. The movement, therefore, is one of transformation, since it is a takeover of the old. But this change does not simply follow the logic of the old: there is also a dimension of novelty, of creation.This volume is dedicated to studying these phenomena: describing and analysing their various appearances, uncovering their logic and dynamics, shedding light on the motivations of followers, and discussing their consequences.”
