„Думи“ и „слово“ в латинската християнска литература на IV–V в

Author(s): Rosen Milanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The greatest and most important works of Latin Christian literature date back to IV–V cc. These works are a result of the specific Christian conception of man and the world. In the present paper I explore the attitude of the Christian writers towards the world and its words, towards the verbal communication and the ancient non-Christian literature. The genres and kinds of the Christian literature, as well as its subjects, are also considered. Тhe highest, eternal meaning of the Christian sermon is explained.

„Радост – ти дете от рая ... “ – етос и патос на един популярен текст. Шилеровата поетика в съвременния европейски контекст

Author(s): Ralitsa Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The focus of the present paper is the EU Directive for accelerated integration of Europe-related topics in the educational process with the aim of building a unified European identity as a prerequisite for the success of Intra-European integration. The counterarguments about this initiative are presented by pointing out ways of its modification in the context of the ‘Doing European’ concept, alternative to European identity. The paper introduces modern literary works in German whose topic is the critical and ironic view of the European identity and the European values system, and which raise the issue of their reconsideration in contemporary European context – the Austrian writer Ulrike Längle’s short story ‘Freude schöner Götterfunken’: a banal reading of Schiller’s aesthetics based on the idea of personal freedom and the inviolability of human dignity, and the German author Ulrike Draesner’s ‘Europa’ depicting the European continent as a jig-saw puzzle whose pieces can be randomly moved and rearranged

Едно литературно приятелство през океана

Author(s): Francisco Javier Juez Galvez / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

Bulgarian writers who settled in Argentina in the 1920s formed friendly and literary connections which continued cross the Оcean. Such is the case of the well-known author Boris Shivachev (1902-1932), “the first Bulgarian Hispanist”, and Stoyan Danev (1901–1981), a far less known publicist in Bulgarian and Spanish and author of stories in Spanish. There is much less information about the latter and his relations with Shivachev than, for example, about Shivachev and Samuil Strezov (1901-1984). By publishing and studying an unknown letter from Danev to Shivachev – from 1928 – and a dedication by Danev from 1931, we prove the regularity of correspondence between the two old friends and the fact that they informed each other about their literary undertakings and life vicissitudes.

Да разказваш историята в сегашно време (За глаголното време в евангелските разкази)

Author(s): Pavlin Sabev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

It is a well-known fact that the evangelists (excluding Luke) prefer the Present tense for their stories. Is there any particular grammatical code behind the account of the past which occurs in the Present tense (the Gospels were written at least two to three decades after the events they describe), as most theologians today think? The analyzed examples show the lack of such a code and the influence of oral Semitic speech.

Гръцките книги в библиотеката на Емануил Васкидович

Author(s): Dora Savova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

Studying and deciphering the Greek books in Emmanuel’s Vaskidovich’s library motivate us to rebuild its content. Sorting the titles based on their subject matter and analysing them as prime examples of the European Enlightement thought allows us to appreciate this fascinating library which contains the most important works of the European Enlightement and Ancient Greece. The teaching aids for the study of geography, history, philosophy, grammar and vocabulary that belonged to this important teacher of the Revival demonstrate the high level of education that he was able to give the future generations of Bulgarians, some of whom were the leading figures of the post-liberation period in Bulgaria.

Д-р Кръстев като автор на книги

Author(s): Plamen Antov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The article examines chronologically all books by the literary critic, aesthetician, philosopher, and editor-inchief of the Misаl Magazine (1892–1907) which was extremely important for the early Bulgarian Modernism. It also analyzes the compositional and structural strategies of those books and, consequently, makes important observations on the mechanisms through which their literary-critical, theoretical and conceptual-historical messages were formulated.

Ляво поколение, дясно поколение. Иван Мешеков и Ернст Юнгер (Предварителни бележки)

Author(s): Vladimir Sabourin / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

This article is an introduction to the comparison between the constituting of the “left-wing generation” of the Bulgarian literary critic Ivan Meshekov (1891–1970) and the “right-wing generation” of the German writer Ernst Jünger (1895–1998) in the frontline experience of World War I. Both authors are emblematic figures of the leftwing and the right-wing intellectual spheres respectively, being, at the same time, black sheep in their own political camp. In the well-grounded existential and conceptual temerity of decisions which led them to a categorical generational binding of the aesthetical with the political, Ivan Meshekov and Ernst Jünger are shown to be brothers in arms in a decesionistic situation of the “lost generation” which seeks and finds itself (or finds death) on the battlefields of World War I.

Проекции на еретизма в „Легенда за Сибин“ на Емилиян Станев

Author(s): Venelin Grudkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The article aims to establish the importance of a number of heretical and orthodox texts for Emilian Stanev’s novel The Legend of Sibin, Prince of Preslav. The observations lead to the conclusion that the sources and facts are not used verbatim but are subjected to the author’s idea of seeking the answer to the question “What kind of people are we?”

Време-пространствени ориентири в стихосбирката „Смяна на нощната стража“ от Георги Рупчев

Author(s): Trayana Lateva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The present paper focuses on the second book of poetry by the Bulgarian poet Georgi Rupchev – Change of the Night Guard (1986), and more specifically – on the perception of time and space which construct Rupchev’s poetic world. The text attempts to distinguish between the various manifestations of time and space in order to differentiate a common model of their poetic usage. The analysis also touches on their nature (how specific or abstract they are), their role in the poems, their connection with other themes and motifs in the poet’s work as well as their importance for the composition of the book.

Varia: Старобългарският превод на Псевдозлатоустовото „Слово за Усекновение на Йоан Кръстител“ (BHG 859)

Author(s): Hristina Davidkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The article proposes an analysis of three copies of the Pseudo-Chrysostomian Homily on the Beheading of St.John the Baptist. The textological, lexical and grammatical characteristics of Slavonic copies under examination,when compared with the Greek text, support the opinion that the homily was translated during the Old-Bulgarian period, in eastern Bulgaria, in the 10th century. The observations on the translation methods testify to its high quality and that the free choice of correlates established at some places often makes the text more accessible to the Slavic audience.

Българският концепт ДОМ на славянски асоциативен фон

Author(s): Maria Ilieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

The new research paradigms in linguistics, such as ethno-psycholinguistics, make it possible to analyze in a new way some basic concepts in the linguistic consciousness of a person. The DOM (HOME) concept is discussed on the basis of comparable associative data from three Slavic languages – Bulgarian, Russian and Polish, in order to search for their common areas, and to outline the ethno-specific segment in the Bulgarian notion. We have come to the following conclusions: dynamism in the conceptualization of HOME in recent decades; predominantly abstract conceptualization; close connection between МАЙКА, ЖЕНА (MOTHER, WOMAN) and DOM (HOME) in Bulgarian linguistic consciousness. Lexicographic solutions are offered.

Молитвите за всяка потреба в зографските требници от ХV – XVIII век

Author(s): Hristina Toncheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

The article presents data about the inheritors of the Old Bulgarian Prayers for Every Occasion which are known to scholars thanks to the Glagolitic Euchologium Sinaiticum from the 10th century. They were discovered in the manuscript prayer- and divine service books kept in the Zograf library on Mount Athos. The respective euchological texts are described in the manuscripts in chronological order by century; they are identified in accordance with their Glagolitic prototypes and their Greek parallels are given.

Дидактически измерения на междукултурната литература

Author(s): Mina Hubenova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2020

Intercultural literary studies in the field of literary scholarship represent a research perspective with a specific theoretical and methodological profile, which is based on two prerequisites: 1) cultural differences can be important in the study and perception of literature, and 2) literature and its reception can reveal these relative differences. In this way culture is interpreted as a category of differentiation, but also as a productive source of exchange, contact, dissemination and integration. Intercultural literary research focuses on specific issues concerning the creation and perception of the literary text, as well as the didactic and methodological aspects of acquiring intercultural competence through it. Literary texts lead, on one hand, to enrichment, curiosity and excitement in students, and, on the other, to the diversification of methodological techniques in foreign language teaching. Literary texts can motivate students and foster their personal development through new methods that not only encourage them to speak, but also inform them about the culturally specific point of view, through the content of the text.

Ролята на синхронията в изучаването на националните книжовноезикови истории на територията на Slavia Orthodoxa

Author(s): Milena Obretenova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The article examines the role of the synchronous approach as a basic prerequisite for refined falsifiability in the study of the histories of the national literary languages on the territory of the Slavia Orthodoxa cultural-linguistic community. Its possible role in the study of literary-linguistic history as a component of the historical approach to language in the context of the theory and methodology of Imre Lakatos’ research programs is also analyzed

Функционална субституция на средните гласните [e–ɛ] и на широката гласна [e] в устната практика на френския и българския език

Author(s): Veska Kirilova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The present study examines the manifestation of some functional substitution processes occurring with the French vowels [e], [ɛ] and with the Bulgarian vowel [e] in the oral practice of the French and Bulgarian languages. The aim of the research is not only to describe the observed processes, but also to establish the substitutes of the vowels under discussion, the phonetic factors determining the substitution course and the pronunciation tendency it leads to in both languages.

Вислава Шимборска и ut pictura poesis

Author(s): Weronika Szwedek / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

Wisława Szymborska is considered an artist in whose poetry the ekphrasis plays a key role. Szymborska wrote numerous works that fall into this context as a genre linking literature and the fine arts, and representing a literary description of a painting. Among Shimborska’s favorite artists are Vermeer, Rubens, Bruegel and Hiroshige Utagawa.
