Mimicry Games, or The Creation of the Literary Canon as Art: Fictitious Anthologies in (Post)Modern Bulgarian Literature

Mimicry Games, or The Creation of the Literary Canon as Art: Fictitious Anthologies in (Post)Modern Bulgarian Literature

Author(s): Henrike Schmidt / Language(s): English / Issue: 5/2013

I assume that the astounding popularity of the otherwise somewhat ‘dry’ meta-genre of the anthology in Bulgarian literature is due to the specific dynamics of the creation of a literary canon. The lack – real or imagined – of a national literary heritage, a consequence of centuries of foreign, ‘Ottoman’, ‘Western’ or ‘Soviet’ domination, led to a characteristic instability of the Bulgarian canon. As a consequence, discussions on its (im-)possibilities flared up regularly in the literary community and ‘foreign’ models were imported in order to ‘fill the gaps’ (see Gesemann, 1989; K’osev, 1998; Lauer, 1989; Tihanov, 1998: 150). The macro-genre of the anthology (and the chrestomathy) as collections of model texts is at the same time effect and agent of such canonization processes; these anthologies reflect an established canon and help to shape and reproduce it (Trendafilov, 1998)...

The Materials of Ivan Kachulev in the Musical-Folklore Archives of the Institute of Art Studies – BAS

Материали на Иван Качулев в Музикалнофолклорния архив на Института за изкуствознание – БАН

Author(s): Margarita Popova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2006

This text introduces an exhibit that was prepared as part of the Jubilee Academic Session dedicated to Ivan Kachulev (which took place on February 16, 2006). In the appendices are shown: a reference guide of existing archive materials (appendix 1); a list of archival materials published by Ivan Kachulev himself (appendix 2); a list of villages and regions in which Ivan Kachulev recorded musical folklore (appendix 3); the migration of populations reflected in his work (appendix 4); a list of his field expeditions, organized by year (appendix 5); a catalogue of Ivan Kachulev’s archival materials, organized by village (appendix 6); an inventory of Ivan Kachulev’s field notes (appendix 7). Kachulev’s archival materials are presented in the form of copies of manuscripts organized under nine different headings, which reveal not only his fieldwork methodology, but also his subsequent processing of the musical examples and their accompanying notes. Thus, for example, one can trace the path of a field musical transcription and the solidification of the text in the field notebook through its various re-transcriptions until it reaches its single “official” archival form: a musical notation with a typed text. Some of Ivan Kachulev’s fieldwork treasures are presented, including different variants of one and the same song, as well as examples of sung folklore from Bulgarian immigrants from Banat and Asia Minor. Additionally, there are numerous instrumental melodies and their accompanying notes, which include information about informants, master instrument makers, drawings and diagrams, as well as field reports.

Kill the Wanderer. The Secret Archives of the Bulgarian State Security Services reveal the truth about Georgy Markov - murdered in London by a poisoned umbrella

Kill the Wanderer. The Secret Archives of the Bulgarian State Security Services reveal the truth about Georgy Markov - murdered in London by a poisoned umbrella

Author(s): Hristo Hristov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian

Keywords: investigative journalism;investigative reporting;documentary;Bulgarian Politics,

“Kill the Wanderer” is a documentary investigation into one of the most emblematic crimes of the Cold War – the murder of the Bulgarian dissident writer, Georgi Markov, in London in 1978. Throughout the whole world this case acquired infamy as the “Bulgarian umbrella” murder. The assassination became an emblematic example of “wet operations” involving the secret services of the former Eastern Bloc. It recently became the subject of commentary in the media throughout the world after the death of the former Russian intelligence officer from the Federal Security Service and political émigré, Alexander Litvinenko at the end of 2006 in London, due to many of the similarities between the two cases. Although 29 years have passed since the murder and Scotland Yard still has not discovered the perpetrator, the leading opinion in the West is that the murder of the Bulgarian dissident was carried out by the Bulgarian Security Services on the orders of the then head of state in Bulgaria, Todor Zhivkov, with the assistance of the KGB. “Kill the Wanderer” for the first time calls upon specific archive materials to confirm this thesis. Hristo Hristov (1967) is one of the best investigative journalists in Bulgaria and has researched the crimes of the communist regime. He has published documentary books on the murders in the communist camps in Bulgaria (1944–1962) and on the kidnapping of the Bulgarian émigré, Boris Arsov by the Bulgarian State Security Services from Denmark in 1974. Work on the “Kill the Wanderer” took him six years (1999–2005) and as a court reporter he has reported on the Markov murder case since 1991. His book is based on a number of documents hitherto unknown, many of which are from the secret archives of the former State Security Services.

„Salvation Armani“: gej senzibilitet između visoke mode i svakodnevnih odevnih praksi

Author(s): Ildiko Erdei,Nebojša Savić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 4/2015

Keywords: clothing; fashion; everyday fashion; consumption; gay

The paper considers the link between gay people and the fashion world, their role and and relationship to clothing in different fashion registries, as pointed out by Jennifer Craik, in high and in everyday fashion. Based on secondary literature the paper will outline current problematizations of the relationship between gays and high fashion, as well as their importance for the history of high, elite, designer fashion. In the second part of the paper, based on empirical research on the behavior of gay people in Belgrade fashion-wise, the discourses and practices of everyday fashion within the gay population of the capital of Serbia are presented, with a focus on three aspects of dressing practices: consumption of fashionable clothing and accessories with a focus on shopping, evaluation and hierarchization of branded clothing and the skill of combining them which respondents believe represents the key to their unique styles.

Localization of the Balkan Homeland of the Tukantsi Bulgarians from Bessarabia and Tavria according to Written Sources and Sourecs from the Folklore

Локализиране на балканската прародина на българите туканци от Бесарабия и Таврия според писмени и фолклорни източници

Author(s): Alexander I. Ganchev,Vladimir Milchev,Alexander A. Prigarin / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: tukantsi; Sarnena Sredna Gora; Budjak; ethnography; folklore

The problem of the origin of tukantsi, the first Bulgarian settlers in Budjak remains already for a long time a controversial question. The article, which is the result of a complex research of the authors, demonstrates that the inhabitants of the valleys between Stara planina and Sredna Gora called Karadza Dag (Sarnena Sredna Gora) are the earliest Bulgarian immigrants in Southern Bessarabia in modern times. The article is based on different sources: acts and statistics from the archival collections of modern Ukraine and Moldova and materials from field studies accomplished by the authors in the period between 2012 and 2014, in Budjak and Sredna gora (photo documents, oral and written narratives). The updated statistical documents, together with the narratives, the folklore, graphic and other types of sources not only allow to confirm the hypothesis of the South Bulgarian origin of the tukantsi from the region of Karadza Dag, but also reflect the direct continuity, the direct genetic link between Budjak and the Balkans during the nineteenth century.

NEOLOGISMS IN MODERN MEDICAL DISCOURSE

НЕОЛОГИЗМИТЕ В СЪВРЕМЕННИЯ МЕДИЦИНСКИ ДИСКУРС

Author(s): Nadezhda Nikolova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: neologisms; lexical innovation; medical discourse

Modern medical discourse reflects the dynamic changes into the Bulgarian speech fortunes. The global world directly reflected in the finest layer of medical terminology international neologiya, and also nominating new concepts and processes. Medical terminology is a layer of lexical fund with its specific features. In the modern stage development medical terms are widely colloquially used in the literary language, in healthcare, in medical practice. New technologies and dynamic economic processes are a prerequisite for the development of linguistic processes and events. Lexical innovation is a constant process, which evolve and enriches the language. Modern medical terminology over the past two decades is constantly filled with many new lexical resources as a result of the development of medical science. These are words and complex terms or phrases which are approved in a specific professional field. At the beginning of the XXI century English managed to become the dominant means of communication between people worldwide. This fact contributes to the entry of words with English origin in medical discourse. At this stage the medical neologiya is an open system of lexical-semantic relationships. Based on the structure of terms, the following basic terminology types are: single words-terms (ednoleksemes) and terms - phrases (polileksemes). In recent years as a result of which the speech is enriched with synonymous funds for communication purposes, there has been active using of new medical neologisms in modern medical discourse.

Keywords: CSD Report; Center for the Study of Democracy; CSD; Extortion; racketeering; EU: vulnerability; factor

Extortion racketeering has been long pointed out as the defining activity of organised crime. Although in recent years this crime has not been among the top listed organised crime threats in the strategic EU policy documents, it still remains ever present in European countries. The seriousness of the phenomenon has been recognised at the EU level and the crime has been listed in a number of EU legal acts in the field of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The report Extortion racketeering in the EU: vulnerability factors analyses extortion racketeering forms and practices in six EU member states. The analysis disentangles the risk and the vulnerability factors for enterprises in two business sectors – agriculture and hospitality – as well as in the Chinese communities. Drawing on the results of the analysis, the report suggests new policies for tackling extortion racketeering in the EU. This report has been produced with the joint efforts of the Center for the Study of Democracy, Instituto de Ciencias Forenses y de la Seguridad – Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Transcrime – Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano and Vitosha Research and with the support of Guardia Civil in Spain.

CSD-Report 11 - Corruption, Trafficking and Institutional Reform

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The present report summarizes researches and discussions conducted by members of the expert group within the framework of the Bulgarian anti-corruption initiative Coalition 2000 established in 1997. The report is dedicated to one of the most serious problems of the Bulgarian transition towards market economy, stable democratic institutions and legal state. The exploding growth of trans-border crime during the last 12 years has led to the emergence of criminal infrastructure, developed and maintained by criminal groups and semi-legal "power groups," which have appeared in the mentioned period. The trans-border crime in Bulgaria is a part of the new network of international organized crime, which was established after the end of the Cold War and which is closely connected to the regional channels of smuggling and trafficking. Smuggling (including drug smuggling) and trafficking are in particular the main sources of income for organized crime in the country.

№028: Ukraine’s First Year in the Energy Community: Restart Needed

№028: Ukraine’s First Year in the Energy Community: Restart Needed

Author(s): Igor Lyubashenko / Language(s): English

Keywords: Eastern Europe; energetics; Energy; Eurasian Union; Europe; Ukraine

Ukraine’s membership in the Energy Community has recently come under intense scrutiny because of apparent disconnect between the expectations of the Ukrainian authorities on the one side, and of the organisation’s representatives on the other. The paper points to the possible reasons for this disturbing divergence, highlighting in particular the difficulties in reforming the Ukrainian energy sector. Some of the delays in meeting the legal obligations resulting from the membership in the Community can be attributed to the ongoing negotiations with Russia over the prices of imported natural gas. Although Ukraine’s long-term, strategic interests in the area of natural gas transit and electricity production could help bridge the differences with the Energy Community, there is no room for complacency on either side. The author argues that progress towards Ukraine’s further integration with the EU in the energy field is not a foregone conclusion, and a rethinking of both the pace and the instruments of cooperation is urgently needed.

The paper discusses in detail "the affairs" which,apart from the enormous damage and losses suffered by therevolutionary deed, taught the revolutionaries to be morecautious and on the alert. The fact should be kept in mindthat most of these "affairs" were organized by the Serb andGreek propagandas which literally betrayed the active peoplefighting for the Bulgarian cultural and national liberation tothe Turkish authorities.

SHUMEN CITIZENS IN BELGIAN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (END OF XIX - EARLY XX CENTURY)

ШУМЕНЦИ В БЕЛГИЙСКИ УЧЕБНИ ЗАВЕДЕНИЯ (КРАЯ НА ХІХ – НАЧАЛОТО НА ХХ ВЕКА)

Author(s): Rositsa Angelova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: Shumen; Belgium; university; youth; education

The historical narrative depicts young people of Shumen who were educated in Belgian schools in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They studied in today's cities of Brussels, Liege, Ghent, Gembloux and Antwerp. In the period from 1879 to 1912, 39 young people born in Shumen studied in Belgian schools. Among them were the girls Hristina Velichkova and Elena Vitanova. Several of them studied at two or more universities. For example, Stefan Kurtev studied at the New and Old Universities in Brussels, as well as in Ghent, Boris L. Velev studied in Liege and Brussels. A significant number of these people later worked in various spheres of life – as military, officials, bankers, directors of institutions. Irrespective of the fact that some of them hadn’t graduated from the respective institutions, they returned to their homeland with a good knowledge of European languages and familiarity with the achievements of the Western European civilization. Their large number, as well as the specialties chosen by them, are a vivid testimony to the aspiration of the young people of Shumen to receive better education and to contribute to the modernization of the Third Bulgarian State and their native Shumen.

HEROES ON PEDESTALS AND “HEROINES OF OUR TIME” AT THE WOMAN FIGHTER PARK. CONFLICTING FORMS OF COMMEMORATION AND VISIBILITY IN SKOPJE

ХЕРОИ НА ПИЕДЕСТАЛИ И „ХЕРОИНИ НА НАШЕТО ВРЕМЕ“ ВО ПАРКОТ „ЖЕНА БОРЕЦ“ КОНФЛИКТНИ ФОРМИ НА КОМЕМОРАЦИЈА И ВИДЛИВОСТ ВО СКОПЈЕ

Keywords: Скопје 2014; јавен простор; споменици; активизам; феминизам; парк „Жена борец“; сликање; уметност; сеќавање

Во текот на последната декада проектот за урбана преродба Скопје 2014 наметна значителни промени во центарот на градот и значително го реконструира културното наследство. Овој проект го утврди, односно го зајакна родовиот концепт на националниот идентитет според кој од жените се бара да обезбедат размножување на нацијата и да бидат мајки на нацијата. Овој текст се фокусира на преговарањето помеѓу официјалното и неофицијалното наследство, сеќавањето и видливоста во последните десет години во Скопје. Текстот ги следи женските и ЛГБТКИА-активисти додека се здружуваат во спротивставувањето на официјалните, алтернативните или субверзивните артефакти на наследството, како и на јавните простори на кои им се припишува неинклузивно значење. За да го направи тоа, текстот ги носи читателите низ јавните простори на Скопје, почнувајќи од северниот брег на Вардар и понатаму до паркот „Жена борец“, во кој, и покрај името што го носи, во моментов има скулптури што ги слават главно машките херои. Во продолжение, текстот ги носи читателите во една посебна дневна соба украсена со портрети на современи хероини. Токму тука и со одредени дополнувања од авторитарното монументално сликарство, текстот ја препознава моќта на сликањето да воодушеви, да обележи и да прослави и во исто време ни открива дека галериското сликарство може да ги протне своите нишки во јавниот простор. Текстот на крајот се враќа во паркот во придружба на двоен портрет со цел да ги истражи практиките на уметниците и активистите во однос на социјалистичките споменици. На крајот се придружува на првата Парада на гордоста во Скопје, која ја следат погледите на мажествените скулптури во паркот.

Lamar in Literary Contexts between the Two World Wars

Ламар в литературните контексти между двете световни войни

Author(s): Tsvetan Rakiovsky / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2023

Keywords: symbolism; expressionism; intertextuality; literary periodicals

The research subject of the study is the poet Lalio Marinov, who is known by his creative pseudonym Lamar. Attention is focused on his presence in the Bulgarian literary process between the two world wars. Lamar's path in the already formed aesthetic trends of post-war Symbolism and Expressionism is examined. Attention is paid to the traces that imaginism and anarcho-communism leave in his poetry. The more prominent intertextual relationships that took shape in the 1920s are traced. More important are those relations between Lamar, on the one hand, and Geo Milev, Dimitar Hadjiliev, Yassen Valkovski, Ivan Perfanov, on the other. It comments on the changes in imagery and poetic expression that accompanied Lamar and his books, as well as his publications in literary periodicals in the years between the two wars.
