Използване на поетични текстове в съвременните учебни системи по испански език

Author(s): Veneta Sirakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

After abolishing the grammar-translation method in foreign language teaching, the use of poetry in Spanish language textbooks is considerably restricted. Despite the efforts of modern Spanish academics to rehabilitate it theoretically as a valuable didactic tool in the acquisition of principal language skills, the authors of recent Spanish language textbooks (for speakers of other languages) continue to accord it a secondary function, to apply it as illustrative material or to totally ignore it. The present article sets the aim of demonstrating the main tendencies in using poetic texts in Spanish language teaching on the basis of a comparative analysis of a considerable corpus of textbooks, published and edited after 2000.

Битието на спомена ридание и спомена утеха в стихотворенията „Елегия“ от Димитър Бояджиев и „Аз искам да те помня все така“ от Димчо Дебелянов

Author(s): Stefka Karaivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2016

The paper explicates a comparative interpretative reading of D. Boyadjiev’s poem “Elegy”, as well as D. Debelyanov’s poem “I Want to Remember You Like That”. The art imagery of the poetic text is considered through the prism of memory as a specific being, as a sign reality, embodying the act of consciousness, which considers that the found Meaning is always contradictory and immanent when connected to experience and realization of Love.

Осмисляне на фолклорната песен в началното училище

Author(s): Rumyana Yoveva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2016

The paper offers a framework for better understanding of the folklore song in primary school. Its nature is informal. The teacher has the right to model and re-model the methods discussed and to ignore/adapt some of them in regard to the audience involved. The project is based on the fact that a given piece of certain education content and its understanding is compulsory affiliated to the type of the text and genre identification (myth or folklore or a literary one). The methods discussed involve revealing of the characteristics that are part of the folklore culture and the expression of which is the song itself. The genre of the song motivates the problems in its understanding and the examples show the way they function.

Особености на българската преводна книжнина в османския контекст на XIX век

Author(s): Nadezhda Alexandrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 103/2018

This article presents a comparative study on two levels. The theoretical one is inspired by the concept of “entangled histories” that operates on a supranational level for making cross-cultural parallels. The second level presents a case study of the reception of the French novel Les janissaires by Alphonse Royer in five languages – Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian, Karamanli, and Armenian, which took place in the Ottoman context from the 1840s to the 1870s. The goal of the study is to illustrate how under the same political reign the cultural transfer enabled a circulation of notions and an appropriation of new civilizational practices between different communities that later incorporated those notions in their nationalist discourses.

A Piece of Fedora Cake: The Male-Centric Imagination of Jerzy Andrzejewski and the Scholarly Reconnaissance

Author(s): Wojciech Śmieja / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

In this article Śmieja suggests that Jerzy Andrzejewski’s male-centred imagination is rooted in the writer’s homoerotic desire. By imagining relationships between men that take place outside of the Oedipal model, Andrzejewski’s works threaten both the social order and the coherence of the subject himself. In order to stabilize his male-centred vision on a textual level, Śmieja argues, Andrzejewski draws on the model developed by Witold Gombrowicz, while on a biographical level it is Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński who fulfils this stabilizing function.

Excessive Masculinity: Boxer Narratives in Holocaust Literature

Author(s): Paweł Wolski / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

This article examines boxer narratives in Polish and international Holocaust literature in order to reveal the function of masculinity within the ontology of sports. Wolski uses the example of Roger Repplinger’s Leg dich, Zigeuner, a double biography of the German footballer Otto (“Tull”) Harder, member of the Waffen-SS, Wachmann and later com¬mander at the German concentration camps, and German Sinto boxer Johann “Rukeli” Trollmann, who faced discrimination on ethnic grounds and was later killed in one of the camps. The biographies of these two individuals show a marked difference in the way in which masculinity functioned within Nazi ideology. In the case of Harder, masculinity is an immanent category, while Trollmann’s masculinity appears as contingent. The boxer’s strategy of avoiding direct confrontation in the ring was perceived as “unmanly,” leading to his exclusion from the community of men.

Poetry and the Ritual: Poems for Bolesław Bierut’s 60th Birthday

The Author as a Brand

Author(s): Dominik Antonik / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

The article deals with contemporary autofiction on the example of Michał Witkowski’s works, which allows to describe the change in literature’s functioning on the field of culture and social communication. Witkowski’s work, marketing practices and public activity are presented here as elements of transmedia space of self-creation, which can be navigated. The author claims that literature is reified and plays an important role in an intense media landscape where, according to Lash and Lury, it becomes a material element of reality. This leads to a conclusion that each meeting with thus understood literature is an experience of the intensity of an author as a virtual identity, quality or brand which come into existence through the writer’ s actual activities.

Publishing Circulation Systems versus the Book Market in Today’s Poland

Author(s): Marcin Rychlewski / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

A proposed description of today’s publishing movement in Poland, drawn using primarily the distribution key. A ‘main’ popular/commercial circulation is discerned along with three lesser-reach profiled circulations’. Following Przemysław Czapliński, the former is called a ‘book-trail’ [Polish, książkostrada] and identified with the dominant chains such as EMPiK.’Profiled circulations’ (i.e. scientific, religious and literary) are compared to local roads from any of which you can enter the publishing ‘highway’ as well. The closer the distribution centre, the larger the heterogeneity and dispersion of what is inside there – and, the other way round: the closer the peripheries, the stronger the uniformity and specialisation of offer. It is also proposed that former ‘vertical’ metaphors with which socio-literary phenomena have been described, be replaced by ‘horizontal’ ones. The ‘high-artistic’ and ‘popular’ circulations do not form an expressive opposition today; neither does the system of ‘main circulation’ vs. ‘profiled circulations’. Moreover, in the author’s s opinion, the notion of ‘literary circulations’ has become problematic in itself – and ought to be replaced by ‘publishing circulations’. Only in the latter’ s content should participation of literature in the book market as a whole be investigated.

Sociological Contexts of Liberature

Author(s): Katarzyna Bazarnik / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

This article analyses the situation of liberature in the field of literary production. It presents a historical outline of the phenomenon, starting with Zenon Fajfer’s proposal of a new literary genre. Bazarnik then contextualizes liberature with the sociological turn in bibliography, which demonstrated that “strong” authors striving to maintain their autonomy in the literary field paid attention to the semantically charged, intentionally shaped bibliographic code of their books. Finally, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s mechanisms of consecration as well as modern sociolinguistic and rhetorical theories of genre, she describes liberature as a new form of literary communication that can be conceptualised in terms of genre understood as the horizon of expectations.

“Degenerate” Forum of Małgorzata Musierowicz’s Fans as an Interactive Interpretative Machine: a Case Study

Author(s): Olga Dawidowicz-Chymkowska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

The aim of the article is to show the rules governing literary interpretation within the Internet forum. The author concentrates in particular on these conditions which enable the co-existence in the discussion at least two different types of discourses on literature, one of which is based on confessing the subjective reading experience and the other on the effort to negotiate a common interpretation within a scope of acceptable readings. The interaction on the forum has been shown as a trigger for some effective interpretative mechanisms leafing to ways of framing discussed texts in an interesting way. The author has also highlighted the risk of interpretative abuses characteristic of the forum discussions and described it as anethical problem.
