(DOMOVINA TU JE, DOMOVINA GDE JE?)

(DOMOVINA TU JE, DOMOVINA GDE JE?)

Author(s): Attila Balasz / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 442/2006

Da sam jedna mala ruža ja… Ili ne: da sam nekakav pantomimičar, zatražio bih minimum pola sata ćutanja, mada prvi ja nisam siguran da bih izdržao. Znam, međutim, i to, da nisam u stanju da dam zadovoljavajući odgovor, lišen svakog opsenarstva, na pitanje domovina gde je? Radije ću se praviti da mi – kao i većini sapatnika – kakvu-takvu, prenosivu i preseljivu, domovinu predstavlja moj manjkavi jezik, pa ću i dometnuti koju. Pokušaću, dakle, da napabirčim nekoliko rastočenih reči, raspolućenih rečenica, u točak zapletenih, zakukuljenih misli. Svojevrsni naramak ugaraka. Ali, da nisam već prekardašio?

2084. Kraj svijeta

Author(s): Boualem Sansal / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 20/2015

Neka čitatelj ne misli da je ova priča istinita i da se služi nekom poznatom stvarnošću. Ne, stvarno, sve je izmišljeno, osobe, činjenice i ostalo, a dokaz je taj što se priča odvija u dalekoj budućnosti, u daleku svemiru koji ni po čemu ne sliči našem.

22 MILJE DO NADE: ALEKSIJEV PRIKAZ ŽIVOTA U REZERVATU I VAN NJEGA

22 MILJE DO NADE: ALEKSIJEV PRIKAZ ŽIVOTA U REZERVATU I VAN NJEGA

Author(s): Fahreta Fijuljanin,Adnan Hasanovic,Aldin Rastic / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 14/2015

The concept and structure of the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian greatly echoes the basic division of life-existence of good and evil, of white and black, thus framing a feeling of geographical division also. Alexie draws the maps using chronological access to certain events by sequencing them from bad to good, from the negative to the positive. Through the characters he has created in different environments, Alexie potrays a community, identity and people and deals with issues of racism, poverty and the need to preserve the tradition of the oppressed people for the purpose of personal and collective progress.

60/40

Author(s): Julian Barnes / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 453/2008

Bila je to ona nedelja kada se Hilari Klinton konačno povukla. Hrpa boca i čaša prekrivala je sto; i premda je glad bila utoljena, neka blaga društvena zavisnost i dalje je terala ruke da posegnu i zgrabe još jedan grozd, pokrenu odron sa litice od sira ili uzmu čokoladicu iz kutije. Razgovarali smo o Obaminim izgledima protiv Mekejna i da li je Hilari poslednjih nedelja pokazala da ima petlju ili je to bila puka samoobmana. Raspravljali smo, takođe, o tome da li se laburisti još uvek razlikuju od konzervativaca, da li su ulice Londona pogodne za autobuse sa harmonikom, kolika je verovatnoća da Alkaida izvrši napad za vreme Olimpijskih igara 2012, kao i o posledicama globalnog zagrevanja na englesko vinogradarstvo. Džoana, koja se nije oglašavala povodom poslednje dve teme, tada sa uzdahom reče: „Znate, baš bi mi prijala cigareta.“

A clean, well-lighted writing

Author(s): Irina Simanschi / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2017

Interpreting Hemingway’s works is mostly focused on the intermingling of the recurring themes, on the (in)explicable achievements of the troubled (fe)male characters, and yet it is the shaping of the discourse which stands for Hemingway’s hallmark. Reverting to the carefully planned withdrawal of strategic elements of the writing contributes to the complexity of the text, which to a great extent depends on the reader so as to be given hermeneutical value. The display of the clear language is nothing but a straightforward wrapping of internal progressive actions beneath the text, which both vertically and horizontally challenges the reader and the entire narrative act.

A Half-Formed Thing, a Fully Formed Style. Repetition in Eimear McBride’s A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing

A Half-Formed Thing, a Fully Formed Style. Repetition in Eimear McBride’s A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing

Author(s): Katarzyna Bazarnik / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

The article begins with addressing alleged similarities between Eimear McBride’s debut novel A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing and James Joyce’s works to suggest that they cannot be systematically sustained. Her much praised, experimental style relies on the opposite of Joycean richness. Limited vocabulary, jumbled word order, and lexical and phrasal repetitions are one of the most salient features of her style. McBride applies rhetorical variants of conduplicatio to create an emotionally powerful idiom to narrate an anti-Bildungsroman about a loving sister and her dying brother, her sexual abuse by an uncle and final suicide. So despite some thematic parallels, and linguistic experimentation, A Girl bears only superficial resemblance to the modernist master, which is additionally evidenced by stylometric findings.

A Interview with Marcin Dolecki

A Interview with Marcin Dolecki

Author(s): Joanna Ros,Marcin Dolecki / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

One of the Polish readers of Marcin Dolecki's quantitatively modest, but intellectually rich literary output, recognized that the story presented in his debut book Jeden z możliwych światów is like a philosophy lesson during extreme kayaking or jumping down a waterfall. The American version of the novel, Philosopher's Crystal: The Treacherous Terrain of Tassatarius, repeats this feat - when the whole world seems to flash before our eyes, our guide leads us through important considerations about the existence of the world and man.

A közjó Bessenyei György Tariménes útazása című regényében (1804)

A közjó Bessenyei György Tariménes útazása című regényében (1804)

Author(s): Márton Szilágyi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 04/2016

The study analyses the state-novel that was written by György Bessenyei (1746?–1811) in the last section of his life, and remained unpublished then. It chiefly explores the picture the novel draws about ideal government, and the way it imagines the working of parliament in the world of idealized kingship. This work, a late Hungarian adaptation of a genre that had been representative throughout the 18th century, uses its utopia-like structure to present political questions that were on the agenda in contemporary Hungary: the key motif is the state that creates harmony in both the agrarian world and among the various religious confessions. In the novel this ideal monarchy also proves its strength on the battlefield: it defeats the aggressive country in its neighborhood, governed tyrannically, and exports its own form of government into the political vacuum that evolves after the fall of tyranny. The novel ends in a rather mysterious way: the ideal state, governed by a beautiful and wise queen, proves inable to integrate the novel’s hero, a visitor coming as a guest from outside. Married in the meantime, this protagonist, instead of settling there, decides to return with his bride to the provincial house of his parents. Thus, the ideal state, while embodying the common good, cannot serve as the worthy framework of individual happiness even in a fictional novel.

A Lifetime Memory Quest: Identity, Places and Characters in John McGahern's Memoir

Author(s): Dana Radler / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2015

Childhood and youth emerge and re-emerge, time and again, as durable concerns and difficult intervals to reach adulthood, as John McGahern describes his experience in novels and short stories. In Memoir (2005), the writer adopts a more detached vision than in his earlier writings, yet he does not admit it to be a typical autobiography. How are conflicts shaped and reconverted by the passage of time? Where does imagination start and where do facts determine the narrative? Is Memoir a piece of fiction, a well-documented and rather neutrally-written volume, or something in between? This article aims at exploring the way in which the narrator’s identity is infused with difficult, tormenting memories of a distant past, while the writer undergoes a difficult process. To understand the process, the analysis relies on major cultural concepts: collective memory (Halbwachs), communicative memory (Assmann), remembering as remediation (Erll) and memory seen as migration (Glynn and Kleist).

A POSEBNO, MAČKE

A POSEBNO, MAČKE

Author(s): Doris Lesing / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 448/2007

Kuća se nalazila na brdu, pa bi sokolovi, orlovi, svakakve grabljivice koje su se spiralno kretale iznad šipražja koristeći vazdušne struje, često lebdele u nivou očiju, ponekad i ispod njega. Gledao bi odozgo u crna i braon krila koja su se presijavala na suncu, dva metra raširenih krila, nagnutih u stranu dok se ptica uspinje krivolinijskom putanjom. Dole, u poljima, mogao si nepomično da ležiš u brazdi, najbolje tamo gde je plug prodro duboko, pri zaokretu, pod slojem trave i lišća.

A Teaching Approach to William Faulkner’s Narrative Techniques

Author(s): Daniela Duralia / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2015

Faulkner’s way of writing has proven to be most often discouraging, a generating source of frustration, anxiety and even reluctance for many brilliant college students. Beyond the author’s deliberate effort to create confusion, there lie enormous reasons and substratum meaning. Had such readers possessed the necessary knowledge before starting reading his novels, they would not have gotten out of their depth. In response to such attitude, this research is meant to insure a thorough supportive guidance targeting students’ preparation as fully-fledged detectives and judges of Faulkner’s writing intentions.

ABDAGIĆEV ROMAN FENIKS KAO ENCIKLOPEDIJA BOŠNJAČKOG TRAGIZMA NA BALKANSKOM POLUOTOKU

ABDAGIĆEV ROMAN FENIKS KAO ENCIKLOPEDIJA BOŠNJAČKOG TRAGIZMA NA BALKANSKOM POLUOTOKU

Author(s): Kemal Džemic / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 13 (3)/2014

The subject of this paper is a review of Abdagic’s artistic transposition of the Bosniak tragic in the novel “Fenix” in very complex social and historical circumstances in the Balkans from the time Ottomans left until the second half of the 20th century. The writer published the first part of Fenix (Sacir’s life before the proclamation) in 1971 and then the other part Fenix (Sacir’s life and the proclamation)was published in 1972. Abdagic considered this novel his lifetime best piece of art, which it definitely is having in mind the aesthetic qualities and reach of this enormous Romanesque structure which was shaped by modern stream of consciousness with notable psychological, philosophical, aesthetic and intellectual discourse. It is easy to notice the influence of Dostoyevsky, Proust, Joyce, Selimovic whom he all read with pleasure as well as Freud’s Psychoanalysis. Fenix is based on historical grounds, but it certainly contends to being labeled as a historical novel. Literary theorists will find traces of stream of consciousness, subjective psychological novel, novel about artists in this piece of prose. Nevertheless, Fenix represents a real refreshment and revelation of modern novel in Sandzak-Bosniak literature of the 20th century. The writer follows the story of Bosniak people and Sacir as the hero in the Balkans through four tumultuous stages: * The weakening and the end of the Ottoman rule in the Balkans * Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, i.e. Yugoslavia * The Second World War and occupation * Postwar communist-socialist Yugoslav restoration.

Migration, a powerful force in societies, is among the topics of literature which is also a part of human life. One of the literary works mentioning migration is Fikrimin İnce Gülü, Adalet Ağaoğlu‟s second book. It is possible that the migration can be examined based person as "who go abroad", "turning back" and "survivor" in the text. In the light of text-based inspection method, historical and sociological approaches peopleoriented disclosed social, political, psychological and economic conflict is based on only the work, generalization is not done. The transforming family structure, continuity issue of relations with the dormitory, the hardships of the working conditions, discrepancies originated from culture, language, religion, alienation which leads to isolation and the problems in return are discourse in the process that based on people's expectations and disappointments. The characters that trapped between two different cultures, refuge on consumer goods, exhibit behaviours that lead to cultural degeneration to adapt to economic and social order of meta culture. The conflict and migration culture model will prevail in order to examine migration movements in Fikrimin İnce Gülü. In the context of this model, the conflicts of characters in the process of migration to Germany will reveal taking into consideration the difficulties and disagreements to be effective.

Adaptare și imitație în romanele

Adaptare și imitație în romanele "No Time Like the Present", de Nadine Gordimer și „Vremea Minunilor", de Cătălin Dorian Florescu

Author(s): Simina Timofte / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2018

In a series of lectures in 1994, Nadine Gordimer remarks the different status of Africa which is no longer at the edge of the empire, but on the contrary, in the center of it. In this respect, post-apartheid Africa has rebuilt its national identity on the background of global events that write universal history, offering citizens the chance to escape their country's constraints and bring important key elements in the globalization process.Thus, replacing apartheid themes in a new country is an extreme taskby the applicant. Some of the favourite subjects of the "old guard" are the following: the importance of multiculturalism in post-apartheid South Africa, the writer's status, vulgarisation of violence due to mass-media, reconciliation with a violent past and their economic and cultural implications, the fight against AIDS, sexual emancipation, globalization and loss of cultural and national identity, uprooting, migration and economic exile which replaced major pre-existing concerns about violence, racial and gender discrimination, the relationship between literature and politics, or the role of ethics in literature.The same situation can be applied to eastern countries. Even though they were not "postcolonial" in the classical sense of the term, applicable to the former British, French, Spanish, Portuguese or Dutch colonies, the "post-communist transition" through which they passed included the disarmament of a certain political and economic "occupation".People had to adapt to the new order, to the new reality, which was a complex process, a difficult one, that implied, many times, exile.Therefore, the purpose of my argument is to present what consequences can occur at the psychological level because of the attempt of adaptation of the characters to the new social and political order, by imitation, postcolonial and post-communist context. And here comes the question: does imitation facilitate adaptation? Although the logical answer would be yes, we will notice, by discussing the two texts, exactly the opposite.
