Spisateljstvo franjevaca Bosne Srebrene u književnoj historiografiji

Author(s): Dolores Grmača / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2012

The important role of franciscans from the province of Bosna Srebrena in the pre-19th century Croatian literature has regularly been recognised in literary historiography. Some of the facts that have been commonly stressed include, for instance, the claim that it was only through the activities of franciscan monks on the periphery of the powerful Ottoman Empire that Croatian literature existed in Bosnia in this period. Furthermore, their literary activities have generally been desribed as inspired by Catholic Revival, and hence as primarily religious and didactic. The most popular are said to have been different religious texts carrying “all traditional ‘baggage’ of medieval catholicism” (Krešimir Georgijević). Thus, on the one hand, literary historians insist on the pragmatic role and low aesthetic value of franciscan literature, but, on the other, emphasise the crucial role of franciscan literary activities in the 17th and 18th centuries, which paved the way for the establishment of modern Croatian standard language. It seems therefore paradoxical that franciscan popular literature, which participated in the key processes of standard language formation, has been completely marginalised in Croatian literary canon. This paper focuses on various strategies employed in defining the position of franciscan literature within this canon, which is as a rule located within the borders of cultural periphery. Uncovering the mechanisms of national canon formation should provide further insight into the process of positioning of popular literature and the socio-cultural context of literature in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, having developed no forms of high literature during the 17th and 18th centuries, existed only in its popular forms.

Red Zora and Her Gang (Die rote Zora und ihre Bande) and the Croatian Canon of Children’s Literature

Author(s): Ivana Odža / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2022

Red Zora and Her Gang1 (orig. Die rote Zora und ihre Bande) is a 1941 novel by the German-Swiss author Kurt Held (Kurt Kläber), inspired by the Croatian mentality and Croatian history. While it was enormously popular in Germany, the Croatian translation was issued only in 2017. In this paper, we analyse the hypothetical position of Red Zora within the Croatian canon of children’s literature established at the time the novel was written. Red Zora tends towards realism in shaping children’s reality based on unusual adventures in common with the most dominant of children’s novels so that it fits into the contemporary novelistic matrix, however with a distinctive detail – a girl as “gang leader” – which goes beyond the trends of Croatian children’s literature of the time. The paper considers the hypothetical question of the possible influence of the novel on the development of Croatian children’s literature regarding the construction of the female character.

Subwersywny potencjał śmiechu, czyli Ključ od velikih vrata Hinka Gottlieba

Author(s): Sabina Giergiel / Language(s): Polish Issue: 24/2023

This paper focuses on a short work of fiction written in the 1940s by the Croatian Jew, Hinko Gottlieb. The manuscript of the book was found in one of the Jerusalem archives and,about seventy years later was, prepared for publication in Croatia in 2021. Undermining the readers’ previous habits, the book uncharacteristically problematises the Holocaust. Gottlieb uses humour as his major aesthetic device to describe internment. the story may also be ascribed to the fantasy genre, or to speculative fiction to be more precise. The purpose of the thought experiment presented here is to examine (in prison conditions) the possibilities that the so-called space capacitor has to offer. Besides acknowledging the occurrence in the text of such categories as science fiction, grotesque and surrealism, the article endeavours to answer the question about their use in the story of the Holocaust.

“Mr Hitler,” Greta Garbo and the Jew Hidden in the Grass. The Literary Representation of the Holocaust in Ruth Tannenbaum by Miljenko Jergović

Author(s): Ewa Szperlik / Language(s): English Issue: 24/2023

This article is an attempt to provide an insight into the fate of the Jewish diaspora in Zagreb, a city marked by the spectre of the Second World War. The events in the diegetic world are based on the fictionalised, tragic life of a young Jewish actress Lea Deutsch (1927-1943), who was acclaimed a prodigy of the Zagreb theatre scene and was killed in Auschwitz. Miljenko Jergović undertook the difficult task of addressing Croatian antisemitism, the circumstances surrounding the creation of the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945), of which the darkest outcome was the Jasenovac concentration camp. The analysis of the work is part of a wide-ranging discussion on the acceptable ways to depict the Holocaust (language and form). The Croatian writer's novel highlights the topos of the eternally wandering Jew; he also dispels the myth about small promised lands in the history of Jews, who were scattered across Europe and had to face local exclusion, antisemitism and ghettoisation.

Tin Ujević (1891-1955) und die Avantgarde

Author(s): Marina Protrka Štimec / Language(s): German Issue: 32/2023

Tin Ujević, der wohl bedeutendste Dichter der klassischen Moderne in Kroatien, stand zu Lebzeiten und in der späteren Rezeption in einem spannungsvollen Verhältnis zur Avantgarde. Der poetologische Wandel und die Schwankungen beim Einsatz avantgardistischer Mittel führten i.d.R. zu dem Schluss, es ginge bei Ujević lediglich um Elemente, Phasen oder Teilaneignungen der Avantgarde. Betont wird im vorliegenden Beitrag hingegen der umfassende Charakter von Ujevićs Eingriff ins literarische Feld, sein revolutionärer Bruch im Verhältnis zu den Kategorien Mimesis, Subjektivität und Linearität – lesbar als implizite Antwort auf die theoretische Debatte über die Wiederholbarkeit der Avantgarde.

WHEN POETS TRANSLATE POETRY (VESNA PARUN’S TRANSLATION OF PENJO PENEV’S POETRY)

Author(s): Ana Vasung / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

The paper examines Vesna Parun’s translation work from an intercultural perspective, highlighting her role as a true intercultural translator who belonged to and connected Bulgarian and Croatian cultural spaces and literatures. Parun’s success in translating Penjo Penev’s works is attributed to her deep immersion in Bulgarian language and culture, as well as her poetic aptitude and mastery of poetic traditions. Parun’s translation skills were bolstered by her interpretative abilities, enabling her to understand both the original text’s context and its new reception context. Her familiarity with the socio-political and cultural milieu of the time, as an active participant, further enhanced her translations. The paper asserts that Parun adeptly navigated the various intra- and extra-linguistic elements influencing literature and its translation, solidifying her legacy as a masterful translator of poetry.

THE POETRY OF VESNA PARUN AND BLAGA DIMITROVA BETWEEN IDEALISM AND DOUBT

Author(s): Marijana Bijelić / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

Since there are some important similarities as well as meaningful differences between the poetic oeuvres of the selected authors, the paper provides a comparative and a contrastive analysis of selected poems by Vesna Parun and Blaga Dimitrova. It focuses on a relationship between idealism with “absolutist” tendencies, insistence on perfection and on the ideal as a way of coping with negativity. Lyrical subjects in the poems are conceived as completely open to the unending work of desire. The lyrical subject in the poems by Parun is much more sensual, while Dimitrova’s one shows a strong tendency toward reflectiveness and abstraction. Their idealism is usually articulated through traditional symbols, such as birds, stars and the idealised topoi of childhood and nature, with love being their obsessive theme. Such a constellation is a basis for duality of the lyrical subject placed between the ecstatic projections and a tragic decomposition. Self-transcendence through love is the main ideal (that) the lyrical subject hopes to achieve, whereas its other side is the uncompromising tragic self-destruction the subject chooses so as to preserve the ideal from its loss and from the threatening meaninglessness.

Author(s): Katya Zografova / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

The article features the Bulgarian trace in the works of the Croatian poet and her creative contacts with Bulgarian artists and literary figures in the 1960s.

THE SCRIPT OF LIFE: VESNA PARUN IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA (1962 – 1967)

Author(s): Ksenija Banović / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

The article features the Bulgarian period in the works of the great Croatian poet Vesna Parun, during which she befriended some of the most prominent artists and intellectuals in Bulgaria of that time. Bulgaria proved to be a major inspiration for the poet, but also a source of pain because of the harsh life trials she ended up facing. The period was very prolific for her. In Bulgaria she wrote not only her poetry collection The Wind of Thrace, but also magnificent essay and travelogue texts, while at the same time actively contributing to the translation of her poetry into Bulgarian. Her essays on Bulgarian poetry are particularly valuable insights of a talented and erudite artist, who sheds light not only on the poetic but also on the political processes in those years of ideological bans and creative freedom that was so hard to uphold.
