The paper represents an attempt to overview the dynamics of the development of ideas about the Albanians and Serbian-Albanian relations in Serbian textbooks since the 1880s to the 1980s. The subjects of analysis were history and geography textbooks for both elementary and high school. Several topics were taken into consideration: Slovenian migrations to Balkans, Stara Srbija, First Balkan war, Second World War and The Resolution of the Communist Information Bureau (Informbiro). The paper shows that the data framed by these topics was insufficient for students to build up clear reflections based on a critique of the presentation of neighbors and to understand the relations between the two countries. The contents of the textbooks were in the function of the ruling political discourse, and the topics which surpassed their areas of interest were not considered valuable. For this reason contents which would enable better understanding of the other side, its contexts and their circumstances, were put aside. The paper thus points to the multiple questions which were elaborated incompletely, or were thematically neglected. This leads to a conclusion that the ignorance about the “other” has been “accumulated” over the generations, which presents itself as the fertile ground for embedded prejudices and all forms of manipulation.

This article focuses on the way the most important events during the war in Kosovo (1998-1999) are presented in the primary and high history textbooks in Kosovo. The article aims to analyse the presentation of the political/military groups of Kosovo Albanians during the war, their political goals, the meetings, agreements, and collaboration of the political and military representatives of the Albanians with their Serb counterparts, and the war crimes committed by both sides. The article is divided in four parts: the peaceful and the military factions; war crimes, the Rambouillet Conference; and the NATO intervention. The primary and high history textbooks of Kosovo and Serbia, published by the Libri Shkollorpublishing house (Prishtina), and by Zavod za udžbenike (Belgrade), approved by the respective ministries of education, serve as the primary source for this article. In addition to that, works by foreign scholars, who have analysed the events in Kosovo in this period are taken into consideration with their respective arguments.

This paper discusses the reasons why Gibran Khalil Gibran’s book “The Prophet” has become a world literary phenomenon with more than 9,000,000 copies sold in America, as well as the influence of Al Mustafa’s messages on counterculture formation and New-Age movements in America in the 1960s. Although the work has not been well received by the academic community in America and was not highly rated by literary critics, because of its simple style, the short form of poetic essays and the symbolism used make the Prophet’s messages easily reach the heart of the American youth seeking the way to the spiritual without being obliged to obey the dogmas of organized religions.This paper discusses the reasons why Gibran Khalil Gibran’s book “The Prophet” has become a world literary phenomenon with more than 9,000,000 copies sold in America, as well as the influence of Al Mustafa’s messages on counterculture formation and New-Age movements in America in the 1960s.

The article explores the formative period of the Czech underground in the mid 1970s as portrayed by a lesser known book Mařenická kniha by Pavel Zajíček. It presents its distinct point of view of the whole process and draws basic comparison with other influential ways in which underground’s semiotic space was being described.The article explores the formative period of the Czech underground in the mid 1970s as portrayed by a lesser known book Mařenická kniha by Pavel Zajíček.

The article presents the results of a study carried out within the project “The Post-1989 Democratic Transition – Interpretations of Historical Change, Social Experience and Cultural Memory in Contemporary Bulgarian Literature,” financed by the National Science Fund, Ministry of Education and Science. The study focuses on two films: Gori, gori, ogunche (Burn, Burn Fire) (1994), screenplay by Malina Tomova, directed by Rumyana Petkova, and Radiogramofon (Radiogram) (2017), written and directed by Ruzie Hasanova. The subject of the paper is the reflection within Bulgarian society during the so-called “Time of Transition” of one of the most traumatic period of Bulgarian history – the changing of the Bulgarian Muslims’ Turkish or Arabic names which the communist government initiated and enforced, at times using violence, during the 1960s and 1970s. The concept of the modern Bulgarian nation shared after 1989 was characterized by the same heavy nationalistic leanings which had been created and sustained by the totalitarian regime in the previous historical period. Some of them shaped the social representations after the collapse of the Communist regime. Using the two movies under consideration, the article looks at some of the main aspects of the changes in Bulgarian society – the collective images, the attitudes towards history, and the problems of group identities in the new social, political, economic and historical period. Along with mass media content analysis, the study is based on numerous interviews with local people. The chosen methodology aims to reveal and discuss the sites of trauma in the collective memories.

Slezský region je v obecném povědomí spjat především s Petrem Bezručem, který se narodil v Opavě, jeho otec Antonín Vašek je však rodákem z Háje ve Slezsku. Zde se také 23. června 1891 narodil Vladislav Vančura: dnes tu má pomník a sídlí zde Spolek Vladislava Vančury, mezi jehož aktivity patří již třicet let pořádání kulturního festivalu nazvaného Rozmarné léto. Vančura ve svém rodišti, kde jeho otec Václav Vojtěch Vančura pracoval jako hospodářský správce cukrovaru, žil jen krátce. Dětství strávil hlavně v Davli u Prahy a v Praze, v níž také vystudoval gymnázium.

Versed dictionaries in the Ottoman literary tradition are smaller dictionaries, typically containing several hundred words of one language interpreted with semantic matches in another language. The words are arranged according to the metrical feet of Arabic metrics and principles of rhyming in a specific poetic form. The most numerous are those featuring lexicons of two or all three languages of Ottoman culture: Arabic, Persian and Turkish. Words are listed in a sequence so that those that are mutually interpreted in terms of meaning stand next to each other and only one meaning is given. The lexical material is divided into several units, or longer stanzas, each in a different poetic meter, with varying poetic forms.. They are intended for learning by heart with the aim of acquiring the basic lexicon of a second language and for getting to know the metrics and characteristics of poetry. The originality of versed dictionaries lies in the author’s choice of vocabulary and the poetic skill of composing verses with words from different languages. They represented basic literature at a lower level of language learning. They were used in both public and private education throughout the Ottoman period. The paper provides an overview of the tradition of writing versed dictionaries in the Ottoman period. It refers to Uskufi’s 17th-century Turkish-Bosnian verse dictionary Makbûl-i ʿÂrif as part of that tradition. The structure of versed dictionaries is described as their common characteristic exemplified by verses from various dictionaries, including Uskufi’s Turkish-Bosnian dictionary.

Narrative sequence is the basic configural element (speech type) of the travelogue, on the basis of which its spatial and temporal arrangement is organized. The temporal arrangement of travel narration depends on the travel writer’s awareness of time and their subjective experience of time while writing about the journey. The writer, as a storyteller, has the freedom to choose a perspective, i.e. time point of view, to narrate the travel story to others. In this context, the question of intentionality in choosing verb forms to express travelogue temporality is important for stylistics. Regarding this question verb forms were studied as stylistic indicators of experiential, dynamic, rhythmic, and interdiscursive effects. These stylistic features make the travelogue genre specific and distinguishable from other genres with which it simultaneously exists. In doing so, it starts from the position that the issue of synonymy is very important in stylistic research. Since the subject of this paper is grammatical synonymy in the field of narrative temporality, the paper uses the concept of analogous time and mode, which in the system of stylistic / rhetorical figures means the expression of the same temporal relations in different verb tenses and modes. The research corpus is an anthological selection of 20th-century travelogues from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Romanian literature from Voivodina and education among the Romanian minority play a vital role in preserving the cultural and linguistic identity of the community. Literature captures the history, traditions, and values of Romanians in this area, maintaining a deep connection to their roots. Romanian schools in Voivodina actively promote Romanian literature by integrating it into the educational process through various methods. School celebrations and recitations are key moments where primary and secondary school students develop their expressive skills and learn to appreciate the cultural and literary values of their community. Additionally, textbooks are essential tools in this effort, including Romanian literary texts that contribute to the formation of students' linguistic and cultural identity. By incorporating these works into the curricula, a school keeps the literary tradition alive and ensure the transmission of Romanian cultural values to new generations. In this paper, we aim to conduct a detailed analysis of the educational plans and curricula developed by Romanian language teachers for students in Voivodina, as published on the Ministry of Education's website. We will examine how Romanian literature from Voivodina is included in school textbooks, focusing on an axiological analysis of the selected texts proposed in the curriculum. We will also propose criteria for selecting literary texts by Voivodina's writers to promote a more consistent presence of canonical Romanian literature in school textbooks in this region. Therefore, this paper will help improve educational content and enhance the cultural identity of Romanian students in Voivodina.

This article explores the paratexts created by Czech literary critics and translators during the socialist totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia for Peter Handke’s texts. It analyzes the impact of communist censorship on shaping the form and content of these paratexts and examines the strategies used by authors to present Handke’s work within the prevailing political context. Despite the challenges, some authors of paratexts sought to convey the complexity and significance of Handke’s work to the Czechoslovak readership. The article highlights the varied interpretations of Handke, ranging from being viewed as a representative of an undesirable literary trend in the 1970s to a deconstructor of manipulative narratives in the 1980s and beyond.

Nasilje nad ženama složeni je transhistorijski i transkulturni fenomen prisutan u različitim oblicima patrijarhalnih kultura, odnosno patrijarhata kao društvenog poretka koji se kontinuirano razvijao u skoro svim povijesnim epohama. U agonalnom patrijarhalnom društvu nasilje nad ženama bilo je (a u mnogim društvima još je uvijek) transparentno i široko rasprostranjeno, duboko ukorijenjeno u kolektivnoj svijesti i normalizirano unutar rodnih odnosa. Stoga je ovaj vid nasilja, kao strukturalni i politički fenomen, uvjetovan kako ekonomskim tako i kulturnim faktorima.
