"... I owo". Humor i humory Tadeusza Różewicza

Author(s): Zbigniew Solski / Language(s): / Issue: 19/2015

Farewell volume by Czeslaw Milosz was entitled ‘It’. Because of the importance of the text, some re-viewers compared the text with the epilogue to ‘The Tempest’ by William Shakespeare. Tadeusz Rożewicz published a parody of Miłosz’s text entitled ‘This and That’. By adding ‘… and that’, he produced an effect resembling the puncturing of the bubble of illusion. The goal of this and similar polemics by Różewicz was not to arouse uncontrollable laughter, but recall a smile. Smile is always associated with the form and serves to maintain the continuity of culture. In intertextual games, the poet uses dif-ferent styles. The fact that he often reached for ludic and farcical conventions does not diminish the sophistication of his media. In the process of ridicule, the poet always kept the authenticity and naturalness. What is the kind of humor by Różewicz? We should rather talk about the many shades of his humor.

"Emptiness" in Croatian Contemporary Poetry

Author(s): Krešimir Bagic / Language(s): English / Issue: 1-2/1998

While there do appear some anthological classifications, Croatian contemporary poetry is almost without any critical analysis, a systematic elaboration both of contributions and impulses, and insight into dominant interpretations. Himself a poet (Between Two Strong Smokes, 1989), critic and essayist, Kresimir Bagic, who has recently defended his doctoral thesis on the typology of MatoS's and Krleza's polemics, introduces a scientific methodicalness in his lyric creation (Living Languages, 1994), but also a meticulous understanding of image and impression. His comprehensive study concerning the phenomenon ofemptiness in Croatian contemporary poetry connects, from an unusual point of view, deductions of scattered poetics and generation jumps.

"Hová nem ér a ráció". Havasi Attila költészetének nyomában

Author(s): József Lapis / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 01/2010

The author analyses the work of contemporary Hungarian poet Attila Havasi, whose best verses are capable of operating with surprising shifts in perspective and inducing the experience of the Freudian "Unheimlich", in the aftermath of which it is impossible to continue our tranquile mundane existence. However, this is result is not arrived at by rational discourse, argument or logic, but through highly figurative speech, absurd imagery and playful sonic effects.

"Mind the Gap". Impersonaalsusest ja personaalsusest fs-i luules (teiste eesti luuletajate kontekstis)

Author(s): Aare Pilv / Language(s): Estonian / Issue: 10/2007

The works of Estonian poet fs is analysed in personality perspective, discussing his pen name as well as the intonational style of his poetry. The pseudonym fs is a signature of poetical utterances, which does not exactly function either as a personal name or a role name, being rather a signal of a name's place. Thus the pen name designates a half impersonal degree of subjectivity rather than a subject aspiring to a specific personality. Something similar is conveyed by the intonation and manner of utterance of fs's poetry – on the one hand it is clear and objective, not tending to the impersonality of dreams or language games, but on the other hand his poetic expression lacks a clearly individual style, "timbre" or specific tone. The language of fs's utterances is one of a neutral "man in the street", with personality hardly marked at all. All this harmonizes with the essential motives of his poetry, such as, for example, a split within the author, i.e. an existential split between the machine/animal in a person and his human self-awareness, as well as a split between a poet's desire for authenticity and the semiosis engendered by the cultural context. The poetry of fs somehow positions itself beyond the opposition of authenticity and cultural role-play, while fs managing it without the help of any mystical usage makes him quite unique in Estonian poetry. The article analyses the development of fs's poetry, comparing it, among else, with the changes observable in the works of J. Viiding, and localizing it in the landscape of the poetry by the younger generation of modern Estonian poets.

"Wolność albo śmierć". Prolegomena do badań nad twórczością czeczeńskiego barda Timura Mucurajewa

Author(s): Kamila Paczek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 157/2017

The underground bard and active participant of the First Chechen War has become a legend and symbol of the Chechen struggle for independence and freedom. Despite strong anti-Russian and Islamic message Mutsu¬raev’s songs are popular not only among independence-oriented Chechens but also among Russian youth. Most of Mutsuraev’s works are patriotic war-songs glorifying national effort to defend Chechnya against Russian aggressors. The artist celebrates Chechen national symbols, myths and ethos. Mutsurayev’s songs are particular in¬teresting subject of study in context of postcolonial theory.

"Я вернулся в мой город…": Неизвестныйвариант стихотворения О. Э. Мандельштама

Author(s): Marina Salman,Anna Dolinina / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2015

This is the first publication of a previously unknown version of Osip Mandel’shtam’s poem “Ia vernulsia v moi gorod, znakomyi do slez...” (1930, 1932), which survived in the archive of the famous Russian scholar Arkady Dolinin (1883–1968) (currently located in the Manuscript Division of the National Library of Russia). It has come to us in the spisok (copy) made by an unknown person, who almost certainly met Mandel’shtam in the period between late December 1930 and early January 1931. Although the name of the copyist cannot be established, the text as such is remarkable in the way it differs from the final version.

(Samo)spoznaja u odnosu spram Drugoga i strana kultura kao izvor vlastita identiteta: pjesnik Zdravko Malić

Author(s): Tea Rogic Musa / Language(s): Polish,Slovenian / Issue: 1/2016

This paper deals primarily with the poetry of Zdravko Malić, one of the most prominent Croatian Polonists of the 20th century, founder of Croatian Polonistics as institutionalized philological discipline, and the author of a comprehensive and far‑reachingliterary‑historic and translator’s body of work. Along with his literary‑scientificwork and work as a translator, as a poet Malić wrote a rather small but, in the composition of the whole of his interests, an indicative poetic contribution, which mirrors his research topics and the depth of their perception. As a Polonist, he covered his own poetic practice with a web of intertextual and citation points that helped him to refer to a foreign culture, Polish, as the starting point of his erudition. As a prolegomenon to the insight into his poetic collection, we will give a brief overview of Malić’s body of work and his activities, which supplements his biography as a Polonist.
