Author(s): Paulina Stoycheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 99/2014

The main problem of this paper is to comment on different origins of genre ideas in the period of Bulgarian national revival. Fundamental object for observation are titles and subtitles of fiction translated into Bulgarian in the 19th century. The article takes into account Gerard Genette’s theoretical model and approves of understanding that titles and subtitles are constructions. It is paid attention to different types of titles, which are representative of the period, as well as to their structural elements and functions too. The titles and subtitles including genre nominations are of a special interest for this article. They are treated as an indication about genre understandings of the time. The main conclusions, made after the classification and researching the titles of different kind of translated novels and stories are formulated in the end of this text.

Кормчията на Осмостена, или за стиха на Румен Леонидов в централния цикъл от стихосбирката му „Сляпа неделя“

Author(s): Lyudmil Dimitrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 99/2014

The central cycle of the Rumen Leonidov’s poetry book „The Blind Sunday“ (Сляпа неделя, 2011) called „The Remissions“ is special for its metric system. All ten poems are written mainly in trochee octosyllabic metrical unit, typical of Macedonian (and some other South Slavic) Folk Songs but an exception within Leonidov’s poetry opus. In this article, we are trying to explain why the author did choose just this metrical unit and to reveal the consequences of his choice. We conclude that the author’s choice was semantically motivated and that the tragic impact of his poems from The Remissions originates from their particular rhythm.

Събитие и всекидневие

Author(s): Nadezhda Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 99/2014

The article focuses on the problem of the event and everyday life in short stories from the 30-ies of XX century. The main points are: the road, the accident, the holiday and the art. The analysis of the literary works of Konstantin Konstantinov, Chavdar Mutafov, Dimitar Shishmanov, Emilian Stanev, Pavel Vezhinov and others authors reveals that the event is interiorized; that this is a reflexive type of event. Therefore, the article concentrate on the different strategies of the man to overcome the emptiness of the everyday life and it shows that the only strategy that is successful, although in a paradoxical way, appears in the form of art.

Пътуващият човек. Среща на времената и пространствата в поезията на Иван Теофилов

Author(s): Yanitsa Radeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 99/2014

This article discusses the poetry of Ivan Teofilov through the figure of the traveling man. The analysis is focused on the concepts of time and space and the ways they are mastered and manifested through various means of movement. The image and the idea of the train, the bus, the dreams and the pedestrian are closely examined, along with those of the airplane, the imagination, the ship, etc. The author analyzes in a separate group the various inanimate and abstract objects which in certain cases in Teofilov’s poetry demonstrate “tendencies“ and “skills“ to move. Treatments of similar themes and topics by other authors are also discussed.

Смъртта и времето

Author(s): Nadezhda Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 98/2013

In the research the human experience with death is presented as an attempt to understand the otherness to which our empirical access is denied. After a brief introduction to the issue of the nature of life and death in many writings on natural philosophy from the interwar period, an emphasis is put on the intertextual parallels between poetic works of Nicola Furnadzhiev, Asen Raztsvetnikov, Atanas Dalchev, Dimitar Panteleev and others from the 20s of the twentieth century. Unlike the scientific texts in which meanings are said to be definitive, in poetry we can read that any attempt to give a final and true meaning of death, of the otherness is unsuccessful. This unsuccessful attempt we see as presented in two images in the works – that of the wind and the rain.

Na tropie literatury bułgarskiej w Polsce w 2015 roku

Author(s): Dorota Gołek-Sepetliewa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

The article comments on translations of Bulgarian literature in Poland in 2015, basing its findings on literary analyses for the purpose of presenting preferences in the readers’ market in terms of genre forms, conventions, styles, and subject matter. In the abovementioned year, translations (by Hanna Karpińska) of the following works were published: Kalin Terziyski’s collection of short stories “Is there anybody to love you?”, Zachary Karabashliev’s road novel “18% gray”, and Georgi Tenev’s crime drama “The Evil Prince”. The writers created texts for a wide array of readers, based on the realistic convention, simplified stylistics, and topics that relate to readers’ everyday experiences. The problems of contemporary life (that of the individual, society, or politics) touched upon in such works elicit strong emotional reactions from readers.

ЧЕСТВАНЕТО НА СМЪРТТА И КИНЕМАТОГРАФИ- ЧИЯ ПОДХОД НА ИВАН ДАВИДКОВ В ПОВЕСТТА „ДАЛЕЧНИТЕ БРОДОВЕ”

Author(s): Galina Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 50/2013

The research emphasizes on the conceptual structure of the short story „ Distant fords“ by Ivan Davidkov, where classic flashback is transformed. By means of ever cinematic approach, the memory of the childhood is restored on the principle of the mosaic, where each frame-fragment is a visual touch in the whole history of the past. Plot is not fragmented at all, it is even quite comprehensive in terms of happening, conceptual explication as all individual fragments are assembled by gradation into one another, provoked by sensory or external association. The narrative line „a secondary narrative story weaven into the main one“ affects both personal stories of the narrator and of many other people.

ВОЛЯ ЗА ПРАКТИКА: КУЛТУРНОТО ИНЖЕНЕРСТВО НА Д-Р КРЪСТЕВ

Author(s): Milena Kirova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2017

Kristo Kotev Kristev, popular under the idiomatic signification “Dr. Kristev”, is well known as a critic and the person who inspired the historical Misal programme. Less is known of his social views, and even less of his practical activity as a man of alert political awareness. The paper sets in focus an aspect of Dr. Kristev’s social behavior, which has been little researched thus far. It represents the specific attitude of Dr. Kristev to some of his friends and writers close to the Misal literary journal, and searches through the mechanics of his influence aiming to turn these writers in the direction Dr. Kristev himself thought it “correct” for the development of the Bulgarian literature. The research is firmly based on documentary material: diaries, memoires and letters of people close to Dr. Kristev.

Сюжетният тип „падане на царство” и образът на „последния цар” в български и сръбски културен контекст

Author(s): Cvetelina Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 157/2015

У тексту се разматра сижејни тип „пад царства“ и лик „последњег цара“ код Срба и Бугара, кроз призму средњовековне владарске идеологије и историјско- апокрифне књижевности, с једне стране, и начин на који се одражавају у епици, народним песмама и усменим предањима, с друге стране. Главни нагласак стављен је на идеју светости и њену интерпретацију семантички бременитих мотива какав је сакрална кефалофорија. Расправља се о начелима канонизације у средњовековној бугарској и српској држави са становишта односа између владара (цара, краља), свеца и покровитеља, и својеврсног диоскурског модела власти и њихових фолклорних и митских паралела. Компаративно су анализовани начини обликовања лика „последњег цара“ (цар Иван Шишман и кнез Лазар) и херојско-мученички акценти у њима. Они су постављени у различите социокултурне и историјске контексте, упоредо с њиховом употребом у периоду националне изградње у 19. веку и специфичним „измишљањем (националног / историјског сећања“.

Об одной незнакомой болгарской катене на Псалтырь в списке ХІV века

Author(s): Svetlina Nikolova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 6/2016

The texts of the oldest Slavonic translation of the Psalter are among the most thoroughly studied texts of Cyril‘s and Methodius‘ translations in all their different forms. The history of these texts has already been clarified in many respects. However, we observe the fact that research and publications are usually based on a very narrow range of manuscripts, the largest part of which were discovered and put into scientific circulation already in the 19th century. Very rarely, new data appear on the manuscript tradition until the 14th century, the studies do not even use manuscripts known for a long time. This observation applies mostly to the commented texts. This article introduces for the first time into scientific circulation the text of a so far unknown catena to the Psalter, foundin a Bulgarian manuscript from the 14th century, and makes a first attempt to determine its place and importance in the development of the Psalter text among the Slavs.

The Sovietization of Bulgarian Literature and the “Bulgarization” of Socialist Realism

Author(s): Plamen Doynov / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2015

The aim of the study is to show and analyse the phases and forms of enforcing/functioning of socialist realism as a dominant political and aesthetic doctrine and an institutionalised system in the literature of Bulgaria. Justification is provided for the use of concepts and historical--theoretical constructs, such as “socialist realism,” “domestication of socialist realism” etc., which make possible the emergence of a new history of literature from the times of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. The chronicles of Bulgarian socialist realism between 1948 and 1956 describe a few characteristics of the “method” in the context of the totalitarian People’s Republic, which are a direct repercussion of the practices of sovietisation applied with slight Bulgarian adaptations. The domestication of socialist realism – increasingly noticeable after 1956 – presents a limitation to the allowed freedoms of writing and publishing through authoritative discourses, accompanied by procedures which shorten the distance between the different positions in the literary field. The Bulgarian experience of socialist realist literary production brings into relief a specific model, that warrants the definition home-made socialist realism.

Прекрасният нов свят в романа „Клонинги” на Весела Люцканова

Author(s): Elena Borisova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 01/2017

The present paper follows the empirical and rational ways of human knowledge and their adequacy, through the characters in the science fiction novel "Clones" by Vesela Lyutskanova. We focus on several issues: How does human knowledge function? Are we willing to ignore humanity for the sake of science? The double’s (clone’s) materialization is made possible through technology and becomes a scientific means to expand its knowledge of the surrounding world. The knowledge accumulated by characters in the novels affirms their individuality, despite their unnatural “creation” and existence.

The narrative and the body and the narrative of the body

Author(s): Irena Dimova / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

This article seeks to identify the sort of bridging between the concepts of the body, the second body and the other body. The comparative analysis of Emiliya Dvoryanova’s novel and Milorad Pavić’s novel is centred around a few main thematic axes, like these about the body as a part of the body – space – time triad, about the eye, resp. the process of seeing, and about the hand, as continuing the seeing, and about the extreme conditions of fear and ecstasy. An emphasis is put on the process of composing the texts, on Dvoryanova’s pantextualism and of the process of incorporation of sub- texts mirroring each other (mise en abyme ) in Pavic’s novel.
