Romanticism's Longue Duree

- Keywords:May ’68; Romanticism; literary theory; structuralism; hermeneutics
- Summary/Abstract:The immediate purpose of this paper is to offer a brief reflection on 1968 as a nodal point in the appropriations and deployments of Romanticism, not least as a diagnostic tool. The article substantiates the case for the continuous after-life of Romanticism in the various guises of post-romanticism, a process which de-emphasizes the notion of period or indeed event, and constructs instead a complex discursive formation that re-negotiates past intellectual agendas and resources by framing them within a discursive longue durée. The article concentrates on the German scene of theory and the student protests during the second half of the 1960s. It traces the mediated links between them and demonstrates how this intellectual and political constellation is traversed by – repurposed and refashioned – Romantic discursive energies that are mobilized in order to make sense of, and respond to, the new developments. The groundwork and the hypotheses advanced in this article require a careful differentiation between two understandings (and projects) of “theory”. In the Conclusion, I discuss the impact of May ’68 on these two different theory projects.

- Keywords:Borges; Umberto Eco; The Name of the Rose
- Summary/Abstract:The paper discusses Umberto Eco’s idea to create the blind librarian Jorge of Burgos, a principal character in his novel “The Name of the Rose”, as a nod to the Jorge Luis Borges, who exercised major influence on the novel and the works of Eco in general. This artistic decision, qualified by the critique as an act of lèse-majesté, has provoked multiple commentaries. Here the case is examined in the light of the tension between the conscious indebtedness and the “anxiety of influence“ simultaneously experienced by Eco. The case is additionally contextualized in the framework defined by the Bulgarian reception of the two authors.

- Page Range:57-67
- No. of Pages:11
- Keywords:skaz; model theory; models; marked speech
- Summary/Abstract:The problem of skaz poses a challenge before literary theory, especially in that it requires a rethinking of the way in which a literary work can combine literary and non-literary elements. The present paper offers a reflection on the form skaz from the perspective of the literary theory of models. The main argument concerns the way in which the modelling of the literary field operated by this form (that is, modelling of what can be said in a literary work of art and in what manner) is simultaneously modelling of the reality outside the text. In skaz the questions of style are in an immediate way social and political questions. The literary theory of models sheds new light on the way in which, as Zaprian Kozludzhov has claimed, skaz is an intersection point between esthetics and ethics.

- Keywords:linguistic turn; historical turn; cultural turn; disciplinary boundaries
- Summary/Abstract:This paper tends to be an exposition of the understanding of the different effects of the different ‘turns’ (linguistic, cultural, historical). They may also look like non-interdisciplinary tendencies; this is also to be seen in their occasionally and often frequently inscribed intention to ultimately ensure that the application of the method projected towards the other discipline will render amorphous, erase and appropriate the boundaries of its specific subject. However, the silhouettes of the disciplinary boundaries are preserved also in the joint forcible effect of the different turns. They manifest their specificities indirectly – through the differences in their targets and the definition of the subjects and methods vis-a-vis which they develop their disciplinary resistances.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper attempts to create a new model of literary hermeneutics based on the basic principles of quantum mechanics: Heisenberg's un-certainty principle, principle of superposition, collapse of the wave function, principle of complementarity. Through the so-called „quantum hermeneutics“, the possibility of adequately explaining the mysterious nature of artistic reality is explored, as described in „The Double“ of Dostoevsky. In this work, the Russian writer discovers the „formula“, that he will later apply in his last great novels.

- Summary/Abstract:The text examines the possible effects of relevant time theories in the texts of Samuel Beckett. The focus is mostly on philosophers read or mentioned by Beckett: Augustine, Descartes, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Heidegger. Time is interpreted as external condition and as an internal characteristic, as well as their convergence. The article discusses time structure in Beckett's texts as a concentrate of his existential experience in a debate with imposed time theories. He does not fully solidify with any of them and builds his own systematically understanding of the temporal or chronotope in his art.

- Keywords:lake image; mythological imaginings of the lake; Romantic mythopoetics
- Summary/Abstract:The essay addresses the genesis and the basic evolutionary stages the artistic conceptualization of the image of the lake follows. The reflections I offer here stem from a wide-ranging study of different cultural and historical periods and national contexts. The diachronic plane of structural transformations is chartered from the lake’s earliest epistemological manifestations in the texts of Antiquity and the Bible to the Ro-mantic functionalization of the lake as an ontological and iconic sign of a holistic philosophical and aesthetic vision that connects into an intrinsic whole the world beyond with the natural world of perception. The mythological imaginings of the lake as an infernal topos were gradually replaced by new emerging worldviews reflecting the process of subjectivisation of nature -- both earthly and cosmic in the discourse of Romantic mythopoetics. In turn, this process was initially expressed though con-noting the lake with the idea of natural infiniteness and by associating it with larger aquatic spaces such as the sea and the ocean, but as a result of its melancholic resonances with the meditative auto-reflection of the Romantic subject the lake was structurally minimized and began to be identified with the inner space of the subjective world.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper discusses the significance of Georgi Sava Rakovski as inventor of a poetic-historical narrative that should present and explain in a synoptic and ultimate manner the core features of the Bulgarian cultural identity and the Bulgarian historical destiny. Four pivotal and interconnected elements of this narrative – ancientness, paganism, Balkan and folklore – are analysed in respect to their reception and reinterpretation in the seminal essay of Penčo Slavejkov “The folk-songs of the Bulgars” (1904).

- Page Range:182-197
- No. of Pages:16
- Keywords:20th century – sociocultural and political context; chronological approach; literary-historical narrative; literary histories; methodological principles
- Summary/Abstract:The text shall try to present a possible literary-historical reconstruction of the histories of Bulgarian literature published in the 20th century. It will trace how literary history was read and conceptualized through them in different sociocultural contexts. It will mark the mechanisms through which literary history build the canon of Bulgarian literature, insisting on its unique and unchangeable value. It will outline how differently authors in different periods sort and rearrange the authors and the works chronologically or hierarchically in a complex historical megatext. And how in different authors the megatext reveals – forgets; praises – denies some basic art and aesthetics signs and how they, through their dialogue and polemics, construct different models of national spiritual plot. That presupposes literary history as memory of the past as well as respecting knowledge, stored in documentary evidence and archive documents, but also as subjective author’s conceptions.In this sense, in the creation of the literary-historical narrative is important not only the aesthetical and sociopolitical context, but also the figure of the author who creates both literature and history. Literary histories as an author’s project or as collective academic experience, as a pretense for a fundamental conceptualization of processes in art or as fragmentary plots can be reminded and read as objective or manipulated narratives about a national literature. They can be interpreted in a unique cultural context where multiple creative and existential plots that meet, intersect, discuss and complement.

- Page Range:227-241
- No. of Pages:15
- Keywords:Peyo Yavorov; Michail Kremen; Lora Karavelova; Dora Konova-Grozeva
- Summary/Abstract:The paper follows a literary scandal kindled by the publication of the first volume of Michail Kremen’s “The Novel of Yavorov” in 1959. After considering the idiosyncrasy of the genre it goes on to differentiate five separate “novels” (five plot lines) inside it. The first one is “the novel of Kremen”, a kind of a bildungs narrative; the second portrays the ambivalent and dramatic presence of Peyo Yavorov; the third focuses on his tragic wife Lora Karavelova-Yavorova; the fourth highlights the never seen so far psychological drama of Totka (Dora) Konova-Grozeva; the fifth follows the reception of the book immediately after it was published. The paper is based on prolific research of archive documents and periodicals published in Bulgaria at the end of the 50’s and the beginning of the 60’s of XXth century.

- Keywords:genre; narrative model; reading and ideological models; women’s magazines; women in totalitarian socialism
- Summary/Abstract:The essay traces the changes that have occurred in the communicative attitudes of the magazine in the course of a decade. The reorientation of reading from the dominant genre of documentary reportage to the dominant expression entailed in the essay, as a form, is deeply connected with the transformation of the envisaged modelling of the exemplary “socialist woman“. The text outlines the symbolic potential with which the narrative models of the reportage woman and the essay woman are vested and seeks to elucidate the grounds for their delineation and difference. At the beginning of the period the reportage woman is the pre-announced, fully-realized (but future-oriented) presence, which recruits “facticity“ and “reality“ (the genre characteristics of the documentary reportage) from the database of the repertoire of ideological references. At the end of the period, the essay woman can rely solely on the genre fields of morality fable and caricature and even heroic chronicles prefer to recognize the “facts“ of the past and convey them to the readers through the figure of the essay woman.
