Summary/Abstract: The academic forum “Literature of the Recent Past (1944-1989)”, organized by the Faculty of Philology at the South West University, combined the efforts of literary theorists of several generations to reflect on that part of Bulgaria’s recent past which has already turned into history. However, this history has not been completed yet in a comprehensive and objective manner. The aim of the forum was to create the proper discourse in which the history of literary theory writing will be attributed a multifaceted pluralistic ring. The project was a part of the attempt to reveal the Bulgarian literary history not only from the point of view “the history of generals”, but from the perspective of cultural identity manifestations on a national scale.

We are obliged to express its topical meanings as well.

- Keywords:Gencho Stoev; Socialist realism; literary history.
- Summary/Abstract:The article deals with the idea of the visible and invisible stairs and steps in literary texts, the ascents and descents (both literal and figurative) along the ladders of the structures and literary borders. During the years of socialism the stairs were a trivially used symbol of going up, conquering heights, an uninterrupted ascent to the highest possible political step – that of communism. Consequently, this also meant the coming of the end of history because beyond this highest level there could not be any other. In the article, this idea is revealed against the background of Flying Heroes and Wayside Dwellings in the collection of Gencho Stoev’s works “Like a swallow”.

- Keywords:April poetry; Zen; Modernity; contra-modernity; dialectic; naturally/infantile politically.
- Summary/Abstract:The article, part from a more signicant study, examines Ivan Tsanev's poetry from the second half of 1960's and the beginning of 70's, as a central space in the Bulgarian lyric tradition of 20th century where various traditions meet and interfuse and through this synthesis would be fertilizing the young poetry of 80's. Accent is put on the dialectical way in which the poetry of Ivan Tsanev shows both of the modern poetic of the so-called 'April poetry' and a philosophical counter modernism through a natural and infantile mentality. Within the framework of this synthesis there is a well -grounded thesis that names Iv. Tsanev is a precursor of the Zen-consciousness in the Bulgarian poetry.

- No. of Pages:13
- Keywords:shock-worker; utopia; building poetry; communism.
- Summary/Abstract:The key role of the construction worker in the building of the sacred communism in Bulgaria is a leading motif in the most of Penio Penev’s poetry works. Proletarian poet most often glorifies the importance of the new man, the man-constructor and his labour efforts, speaking on behalf of the nation in poems such as "His Majesty the Man", "Corpus 206", "Building Spring" and etc. In the majority of Penio Penev`s poetry, he presents the shock-worker as a basic constructive element of the Bulgarian communism’s utopian dream. Penev is generational related to the historical period from the late 40s and early 50s of the Twentieth century, in which he formed himself as a mature creative person. His short poetic life is a series of rise and fall, as it happens with his attitude towards life in general. However, the topic of the construction concentrated on the image of the worker as an engine of a new technical time is a key one and accompanies the author till the very end of his life, which coincides with the loss of relevance of this type of themes in the Bulgarian poetry of the early 60s of the Twentieth century.

- Summary/Abstract:The present paper studies the way in which in the late 50 's and 60 's of the 20th century in Bulgarian poetry constructs a model of "verse-spring bird-poet". The operation of this model in Bulgarian poetry is analysed by different interpretations. As a result, we arrive at the conclusion that the one part of the creators appears to be directly involved in the formation and establishment of the official canon in fiction, and another remains in the marginal field of the formal literary space.

- Summary/Abstract:This article suggests an attempt for analysis of the famous literary work by Ilia Volen. Its aim is the interpretation of the inner state and psychology of the main character – the former priest Nikolay Nazarov, - that is tragically split between humility and theomachy. His own inner contradictions and his relationships with relatives (his wife Johna, their son Stephan) and especially with God are also studied. Stephan’s death appears to be a crucial moment in the development of the plot because it becomes a reason for change of Nazarov’s view about life and radical transformation of his attitude towards the religion.

- Page Range:131-137
- No. of Pages:7
- Keywords:Socialism; autobiography; intellectual; power; politics of the self; public; private.
- Summary/Abstract:The text focuses on the politics of self-fashioning and the strategies for constructing of the autobiographical self in memoir literature, written by Bogomil Raynov, key figure in Bulgarian intellectual life during the socialist period. Raynov creates a character, who influences the establishment of tendencies, the opinions of some specific political figures and some concrete forms of party politics from a position, set in a complex relation to the official “seat” of power, thus having not really ideological, yet still authoritative place in the formation of the aesthetics and politics of the period. The analysis attempts to show that the reflexive self-fashioning of the intellectual in a situation of a repressive regime, done in the context of an always selective life-narrative, relies on diverse strategies for legitimizing of an image of life, in which the integrity of the subject is impossible.

- Summary/Abstract:The article studies the poet Ivan Metodiev’s magazine, named Nava as an essential conceptual attempt to understand the world, time and poetry from a point of view which was new to Bulgarian literature – on the borderline between Eastern and natural philosophy and Wittgenstein’s analytic philosophy. Apart from the relation with the eastern forms, these short fragments are rooted in the ancient cultural traditions in Bulgaria. This philosophy of history has its own cosmogony and bears a great deal of positivism.

- Summary/Abstract:The article focuses on the question of the possibility of speaking about feminine postmodernism in Bulgarian literature. “Is there a feminine postmodernist poetry?” The answer to this question could partially solve the broader literary-historical problem of the possibilities of women poets (how? since when? at last) to make avant-garde within Bulgarian literature. The feminine poetry from the early 1990s is somehow situated in a place where modernity, postmodernism and innovation meet.

- Language:Bulgarian

- Page Range:166-177
- No. of Pages:12
- Keywords:Stefan Tsanev; the political reality; a parody of the theater of power.
- Summary/Abstract:The play “The trial against the Bogomils” by Stefan Tsanev went out in a typewritten form in 1969 and has not been on Bulgarian stage at the time. The reason is that the party circles at that time perceive the text as an allegory of the political reality of the 60’s in Bulgaria and in the prototypes of the characters they see the authority – `The first` (Todor Zhivkov) and the `Princess` (Lyudmila Zhivkova). In reality, the play turns out not as a ‘hystorical tragedy’, as its author represents it, but rather as a parody of the theater of power. The playwright achieves this effect by means of pictures, revealing the theatricality of the different forms of social life (‘the theatre’ of the court, of history, of the royal institution). The ideology of the Bogomil religious (and the alongside passed parallel with the communism) is strongly and sarcastically diminished by the elements of commedia dell ’arte, burlesque and commedia fool, used in the play.

- Page Range:178-192
- No. of Pages:15
- Keywords:camp poetry; prison; literature; repressed authors; freedom; struggle; survival; socialism.
- Summary/Abstract:This article presents the struggle for spiritual survival in the book of poetry “Cry from the Prison” of the poet Joseph Petrov created in captivity during the writer's stay in the Belene concentration camp. Writing camp poetry is not only a protest against violence and acts of dehumanization, but also a process of purification and recovery from the suffered humiliation. The text focuses on the power of the speech, which on one hand causes the imprisonment of the artist, but on the other hand relieves his suffering. Poetry is a kind of self-communication which combines the memories, the imaginary world of the character and the surrounding reality through which the author overcomes the boundaries of the "spiritual" prison. In this sense, the very act of creation is an attempt to preserve his spirit and identity and serves a specific verbal revenge over the torturers. Popularization of the Bulgarian camp poetry will help for a better understanding of the socialist period.

- Summary/Abstract:The article explores the film adaptation process of Bohumil Hrabal’s worldly praised novella Closely Watched Trains. It aims at providing an adequate and sufficient set of approaches to exploring a particular film adaptation from a contemporary point of view. The text explores the possibilities of the socialistic historical reality, the art cinema, the auteur theory of the director’s camera-pen, and the adaptation theories in analysing the Oscar awarded film by Jiří Menzel created with the screenplay partnership of the renowned underground literary author Bohumil Hrabal. Main concerns of the study are: proposing a set of methods and approaches to analysis in the current film case study; elaborating on the notions of perceiving Closely Watched Trains as a Czechoslovak New Wave product, an auteuristic project, and a cult movie; and further expanding on the critically acknowledged idea of the distinctive screen co-authorship between Bohumil Hrabal and Jiří Menzel.
