РЪКОПИСНИТЕ ПРЕПИСИ НА ПСАЛТИРА ОТ БИБЛИОТЕКАТА НА ЗОГРАФСКИЯ МАНАСТИР (Предварителни методологически бележки)

Author(s): Andrey Bobev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article deals with some of the theoretical problems, related to the future catalogue description of the manuscripts of Zograf monastery on Mount Athos. Taking the Psalter manuscripts as a starting point, the author discusses terminological and analytical issues of the cataloguing. The second part of the text puts up specific problems, concerning three of the library’s “jewels”. Ms. 59, the so-called Psalter of Radomir, still hides unsolved liturgical calendar puzzles. Ms. 79, the Psalter of Avram Dimitrievich, one of the few Bulgarian manuscripts with chrysography, is notable not only for this fact, but also because its illumination forms a secondary semiotic system, revealing liturgical and theological topics. In addition, Ms. 104 contains fragments from a Psalter, that might be connected with the period of church flourishing in Moldavia under the rule of prince Stephen the Great, Ștefan cel Mare, or even with the prince himself.

КЪМ ВЪПРОСА ЗА ЛЕКСИКОГРАФСКИТЕ ОПИТИ НА БАНАТСКИТЕ БЪЛГАРИ

Author(s): Marinela Mladenova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The aim of the paper is to present some not popular or unknown attempts to systemize and interpret part of the vocabulary of the Banat Bulgarian literary language. This archaic Bulgarian dialect was codified as literary microlanguage because of historical circumstances. In 1896 the first and the only Bulgarian-Hungarian thematic dictionary was published - Kis magyar-bolgar szotar bolgar nepiskolai tanulok szamara"– Manen madžarsći-balgarsći rečnić zarad balgarsći narudniškulsći škulare. It was designed for the Bulgarian pupils in the primary classes of the Hungarian schools; today this dictionary is a precious source about the condition and the vocabulary of the dialect. The emphasis in the paper is placed on the attempts after 1990 in the vocabulary sections of the newspaper „Naša glas“, in the prefaces of the issues of Banat popular fairy tales (Banatsći balgarsći prikazći) in the addendum to the book Banatsćija balgarsći dialekt i pismenus, part of the vocabulary of the present and archaic strata of the dialect to be collected and presented.

БЪЛГАРО-УНГАРСКИ КУЛТУРНИ ВЗАИМООТНОШЕНИЯ

Author(s): Monika Farkash Barathi / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to present the Bulgarian-Hungarian cultural relations throughout the centuries. To study the historical roots of the Bulgarian-Hungarian relations, we have to look to the distant past – to the ages before the foundation of the Bulgarian and Hungarian states when the two nations lived side by side and in good neighbourly relations for a very long time. This is reflected in the two nations’ legends and folk art, and also in certain linguistic facts. Important milestones in the history of the Bulgarian- Hungarian relations are John Hunyadi’s military campaigns and the Battle of Varna, the cultural activity of the Kossuth Emigration, as well as the migration of Bulgarian gardeners to Hungary.

Собственные имена в русских анекдотах

Author(s): Zhiting Chen / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

In this article we analyze some personal names in Russian anecdotes from the point of view of linguoculturology, applying methods of this relatively new linguistic discipline. The theory of anthropocentric language is key in modern linguistics from the end of the XX century, while the linguoculturology is the product of the anthropocentric paradigm in modern linguistics. Precedent personal names in modern anecdotes show, who is “the hero and anti-hero of contemporary times”. These names reflect part of the mentality of Russian speaker. The accumulation of background knowledge we need for understanding the comic effect of anecdotes as well as the ability to tell a joke –this is a part of a successful intercultural communication

Grimms Volksmärchen "Katze und Maus in Gesellschaft" tiefenpsychologisch gedeutet

Author(s): Tomasz Małyszek / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

This article is an interpretation of the text of the Grimms’ "Cat and Mouse in Partnership" from the collection "Fairy Tales". The interpretation is based on Carl Gustav Jung’s theory of psychological types. The article shows that the figures of cat and mouse represent different types of humans: the extroverted and introverted types, divided into subtypes. The interpretation shows a harmonious relationship between Jakob Grimm’s theory of the metonymic transfer of drive and instinct in fairy tales and the inevitable triumph of instinct over socialisation.

Interkulturelle Erkundungen am Beispiel eines Märchens aus Burma

Author(s): Rosemarie Tüpker / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

Is it possible for a fairy tale from a foreign culture to provide emotional access to this culture for those who listen to the tale without bias and prior information? Or, putting it another way: is it possible for a fairy tale to become an ambassador of its country of origin and to inspire an intercultural debate in foreign places? The research presented here explores this question using a fairy tale from Burma, which was read to small groups and then described by the audience. It demonstrates how such an intensive engagement with a fairy tale can bring one’s own and the foreign into exchange with each other in a new format. As a result, it becomes clear that there can be no Archimedean point for such an intercultural experience objectifying the whole. It is not an interpretation of the fairy tale and its social origins that is the result of such an exploration; rather, it is all about the process of an intercultural engagement: a highly (inter)subjective process, a creation rather than a receiving recreation.

Wenn Frauen die Hosen anhaben – Märchen-Frauen in Männerkleidern

Author(s): Sabine Lutkat / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

This article focuses on the motif of women in men’s clothes and explores the folk-tale types that include this motif, for example ATU 881, ATU 882, ATU 883A, ATU 884 and ATU 888. The analysis of this motif in various traditional folk tales reveals that contrary to general belief heroines in fairy tales can be very active, can do men’s chores and, disguised as men, behave differently than role clichés would suggest. Even when they are tested to determine their true sex they behave in a “manly” way. And, interestingly enough, in some tales they are much more capable than all the male characters in the story.

(Un)gestillte Sehnsucht. Liebeswelten in Sophie Tieck-Bernhardis Märchensammlung "Wunderbilder und Träume in elf Märchen"

Author(s): Renata Dampc-Jarosz / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

Drawing on the Romantic conception of love, formulated in a new way by Friedrich Schlegel in his novel Lucinde, and based on Niklas Luhmann’s contemporary theory of love, the article analyses three fairy tales by Sophie Tieck-Bernhardi from the collection "Wunderbilder und Träume in elf Märchen" (1802), showing the diversity of the depiction of this feeling, its social plane and its relation to the prevailing discourses, especially in men’s literature. The fairy-tale worlds show love relationships in which both sexes play an equal role and complement each other, but also those in which love remains dependent on social convention. The proposed codes of love are variable, but they are united by the need for freedom and self-determination.

Individuum vs. Gesellschaft – Schattenlosigkeit als Anlass zur Fremdstigmatisierung in Adelbert von Chamissos "Peter Schlehmils wundersame Geschichte"

Author(s): Andrey Kotin / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

In this article, the confrontation between the individual and society is discussed on the basis of "Peter Schlemihl’s Wondrous Story" by Adelbert von Chamisso (1781–1838), a German poet and novelist of the late Romantic era. This dramatic conflict is presented through the symbolic prism of a vendable shadow, the sale of which results not only in the protagonist losing his social status, but even his very belonging to the human race. Such a reading is found to be coherent with the common psychoanalytic interpretation of Chamisso’s text.

J.R.R. Tolkiens "On Fairy-Stories": Wozu ist ein Märchen überhaupt gut?

Author(s): Lubomír Sůva / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

This paper discusses the essay "On Fairy-Stories" (presented 1939, first published 1947) by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892–1973). Tolkien poses fundamental questions about the character, origin and especially about the use of fairy tales, or, in a more specific way, about the character, origin and use of human fantasy, which in his view is responsible for fairy-tale production. Tolkien identifies human fantasy as a rational and cognitive activity, which fulfils a specific function: to provide re-creation as well as consolation for the fantasy-producing or fantasy-consuming individual; of all literary genres he considers fairy tale, as a type of literature where fantasy plays a dominant role, to be most suitable for fulfilling these functions. From these positions, Tolkien argues with other fairy-tale conceptions, understandings and theories and defends the fairy tale from narrowing and abusive definitions and interpretations. The present paper summarises, outlines and comments on Tolkien’s most important thoughts and show his ideas as embedded in the Romantic movement, corresponding in various ways to the works and thoughts of the Brothers Grimm (Jacob 1785–1863, Wilhelm 1786–1859). In this manner it provides additional evidence supporting Tolkien’s observations, advocating for the positive influence of fantasy and fantastic literature on the humanity of the present age.

„Das seltsame Königsmärchen…“. Zur Bedeutung des Märchen-Narrativs im Roman "Sehnsucht ins Reich" von Willibald Köhler

Author(s): Nina Nowara-Matusik / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The subject of this article is the novel "Sehnsucht ins Reich" (1933) by Willibald Köhler, which is interpreted in terms of the meaning that the fairy tale plays in it. The analysis focuses on the question of Upper Silesian identity, illustrated by “The Strange King’s Tale…” It shows that the writer creates in the novel a vague identity that does not lend itself to national categorisation.

Als sich Covid-19 in die Märchenwelt einschlich… Zur Rezeption der Grimmschen Motive in "Corona-Märchen" von Izabella Czarnecka

Author(s): Dorota Sadowska / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

In this article I analyse Koronabajki [Coronatales], juxtaposing them with their prototypes from the fairy-tale collection of the Brothers Grimm. I try to answer the questions of what elements of fairy-tale plot patterns the author kept in her works, which ones she omitted, and, in connection with this, what functions attributed to classical fairy tales – therapeutic, ludic, etc. – can be attributed to these short literary forms and what significance this has for readers.

Author(s): Katarzyna Grzywka-Kolago / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct the image of Germans and of folk-tale characters’ German attributes from the perspective of comparative imagology via the analysis of folk tales collected by Oskar Kolberg. Building on the theoretical framework proposed by Holger M. Klein, this study discusses the historical and cultural background of Kolberg’s collection, examines the significance of the Kolberg family’s German roots, wonders about the intended addressee of the ethnographer’s publications, and investigates the contents of folk tales which feature the motif of the German and German attributes of folk-tale characters.

„Edle Räuber“ in georgischer Volksdichtung und Literatur

Author(s): Elene Gogiashvili / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

In the European and Caucasian traditional folk narratives, there are different types of romanticised bandits. This phenomenon occurs in many societies and is described in various forms in oral tradition: epics, songs, folk tales, and anecdotes. The images of the robbers are part of a mythology of heroic lawlessness. Historical and fictional figures of robbers have been heroised and established as “social bandits” and repeatedly referred to with the term “noble robber.” In Georgian folk tales, realistic tales and anecdotes, the theme of robbers has been interpreted differently. The international fairy-tale motifs in Georgian folklore joined the national repertoire. There is a difference between fictional and non-fictional robbers in Georgian folklore. In folk tales, fairy tales and realistic tales, the fictional image of the robber is antagonistic in nature. In contrast to the folk tales, the historical robbers appear in other genres of folk narratives as outlaws whom the state regards as criminals, but in peasant society, they are considered heroes, avengers and fighters for justice and even leaders of liberation.
