MITINIAI VAIZDINIAI KRISTIJONO DONELAIČIO METUOSE: PAUKŠČIAI

Author(s): Dainius Razauskas / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2014

The article deals with the traditional (folkloric, mythological) images of birds in Kristijonas Donelaitis’ The Seasons, mainly in the first part, “Spring Joys”. The article consists of three sections: the first deals with lines 1.107 108 and 142–144 of The Seasons, which refer to the folkloric imitation of nightingales; second — lines 1.111 114 and 127–130 (taking into account 1.80–84 and 98–104), where the nightingale is compared to sparrows, while the singing nightingale is an equivalent to the būrai (Krizas) worshiping God; third — lines 1.155–201, where Donelaitis describes the election of the “bird king”. All of these topics are folkloric, and the latter two have direct links with mythology.

KRISTIJONO DONELAIČIO TEMA JOHANNESO BOBROWSKIO ROMANE LIETUVIŠKI FORTEPIJONAI IR HEINZO-JÜRGENO ZIERKE’S NOVELĖSE

Author(s): Aurelija Mykolaitytė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2014

The article deals with the reception of Donelaitis in the German literature written in the second half of 20th century. There is the focus on two authors of this time: Johannes Bobrowski and Hans-Jürgen Zierke. The novel “Lithuanian Claviers” reflects Donelaitis’ time and parallel the Nazis’ time recognising the same situation: on the one hand, hostility between different national groups, on the other hand, trying to create the atmosphere of confidence. The writer suggests that it is possible only to creative people, artists in words and music. Such person was Kristijonas Donelaitis whose life shows for nowadays people how to behave in critical situations. Bobrowski tries to revive the memory of Donelaitis who was able to defend his community and behave in his difficult time as real Christian. Zierke demonstrates other way of developing the Donelaitis’ theme. The writer describes relationship between the priest and his parishioners. There is also an emphasis on relationship with his friend, who is a priest, and wife Ana Regina. The strategy of narration is based on reconstructing the spirit of time and portraying Donelaitis. This writer went into details of Donelaitis’ life, his writings mode reminds about the historical fiction. Thus both authors reflect Donelaitis’ theme but in very different ways.

VLADISLAVO SIROKOMLĖS POEMA MARGIRIS: ARCHETIPINIAI POETINĖS STRUKTŪROS BRUOŽAI

Author(s): Dalia Čiočytė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2014

The article investigates the poem Margiris (1855) by Vladislavas Sirokomle, a poet of Lithuania who wrote in Polish. Margiris interprets the heroic fight with Teutonic knights in Lithuania’s history: according to historiographical data, in 1336, in Pilenai, Lithuanians chose a collective suicide instead of slavery. The poem combines several archetypical narratives: the historical one of Pilenai, the mythological folk narrative about a dying snake-king, and the narrative of the biblical sacrifice. Sirokomle modifies the mythological and the biblical narratives so that the historical enemy of Lithuania acquires demonic features while the historical sacrifice of Pilenai is given the metaphysical dimension and forms an allusion of the Christian sacrifice. Sirokomle’s poem has strongly influensed the poetic imagination of Maironis, the main Lithuanian Romanticist.

PASAULIO KŪRIMAS KAI KURIŲ ŠIUOLAIKINIŲ LIETUVIŲ IR LENKŲ POETŲ KŪRYBOJE: NUO SOCREALIZMO IKI DABARTIES

Author(s): Audinga Peluritytė-Tikuišienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2014

During the decades of the first independence, Lithuanian poetry has followed the European tradition of modernism.The best Lithuanian poetry represented authentic European modernism, its stylistic diversity and individualism. Nevertheless, the Soviet reality limited Lithuanian literature to a particularly hermetic world that protractedly ignored the experience of European art; it exalted socialist realism and its collectiveness, as well as impersonality. Lithuanian social-realist poetry has essentially encroached on the historical memory of town and culture as well as Christian metaphysics. Without metaphysics, contemporary Lithuanian poetry has faced the physical and utopian time line of Communism, propagated by the dogmas of socialist realism. Talented Lithuanian poets didn’t consider that such a possibility can be creative.During the Soviet era Lithuanian literature had been looking for its ontological identity in the prehistory of Baltic culture, international mythology of the earth ethos and the non-historical space of the Orient, which during the decades of the second independence were anchored already as a tradition of Lithuanian poetry.

Kulturelle und historische Vorstellungen werden in dem Artikel über die Interpretation des litauischen Staatswappens, dem Vytis, verdeutlicht. Die Wahrnehmung der eigenen Identität in dieser Zeit wird am Beispiel struktueller Veränderungen in der Lyrik vorgeführt.

EPISTOLINĖ „DRAMATURGIJA“: SOFIJOS ČIURLIONIENĖS LAIŠKAI DUKRAI

Author(s): Neringa Klišienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2015

Les documents épistolaires de Sofija Čiurlionienė Kymantaitė qui témoignent de sa vie littéraire et sociale la révèlent comme une représentante très particulière de ce genre. Dans le présent article, on se concentre sur la nature dramaturgique et ludique des lettres de Čiurlionienė. Ce caractère est surtout saillant dans sa correspondance intime adressée à ses proches, et notamment à sa fille Danutė. La communication par lettres est créée selon un modèle spécifique de «jeu » théâtral (le principe du dialogue théâtral, l’instance du metteur en scène, les circonstances de la «double énonciation») qui dévoile la relation hétérogène entre mère et fille (JeTu; Je-(Elle)-Tu). Dans le présent article, on analyse les stratégies d’écriture de lettres qui varient en fonction des rôles assumés au sein de la famille. La stratégie choisie assure une relation réciproque entre mère et fille.

CANTI POPOLARI LITUANI: THE FIRST COLLECTION OF LITHUANIAN FOLK POETRY IN ITALIAN

Author(s): Novella di Nuncio / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2014

The essay starts by analyzing an editorial project, the series Poesia popolare indoeuropea (Indo-European Folk Poetry), realized in Italy in 1930 under the guidance of the expert of Slavic Studies Ettore Lo Gatto. The series aimed at a vast audience, with the objective to inform and sensitize the society to ancient and folk literatures of the Indo-European area, a theme not so popular and almost unknown at that time, but also not easy to study, considering the historical period was closed to international cultures. Unfortunately, it was a short experience: the volumes composing the series were just three. The second one, Canti popolari lituani (Lithuanian Folk Songs) by Giuseppe Morici, is the first collection of Lithuanian dainos translated into Italian. This study places a special emphasis on Morici’s work, analyzing its contents and, through its example, reflecting on the issue of translation.

Wolfenbüttelio postilė (1573) kaip seniausia lietuviška Antikos, Viduramžių ir Renesanso autorių antologija

Author(s): Jolanta Gelumbeckaitė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 3/2009

The manuscript of the Sermon Book of Wolfenbüttel (1573) is the oldest known Lithuanian handwritten book (299 fol. 2°) and one of the largest and most important texts in the early modern history of Lithuanian. Furthermore it is a significant document of Lithuanian church and cultural history. This sermon book, consisting of sermons for an entire liturgic year, testifies the spreading of Reformation ideas and writings in the Lithuanian language area. The sermons were collected from at least ten sermon books, namely from the Postillae of Nicolaus Hemmingius, Antonius Corvinus, Johannes Spangenberg, Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, Johannes Brenz, Leonhard Culmann, Arsatius Seehofer, Jodocus Willichius and Daniel Greser. Methodologically the translation is typical for the 16th century. Literally translated excerpts are followed by originally written parts, or translations from other sources are included. The Lithuanian translation is selective and paradigmatic. In many cases an (anonymous) translator takes the Latin text as a pattern according to which he creates his own sermon,or he writes an original sermon in which he includes some translated chapters. The translation is often supplemented with numerous quotations. This article deals only with part of them, in particular with those from classical authors as well as with explicit Latin citations.

“And I Tiresias have foresuffered all ...” – more than allusions to ovid in T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land?

Author(s): Dirk Weidmann / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2009

The purpose of this article is to examine the role of Teiresi's character in the epic poem of T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land. In order to answer this question, it is first of all important to review the literary ideas of T. S. Eliot; Secondly, it is necessary to discover and examine the parallels between Teiresio's depiction of Ovidius's Metamorphoses and the character of the narrator in The Waste Land. Elliot's text contains many indirect references that make it possible to perceive the function of this character as the author's medium. Moreover, the good knowledge of all previous literary traditions and especially of the features that were attributed to mythical Teiriiis is an essential prerequisite for an adequate understanding of the author's position in the poem.

Tapatybės išgyvenimas: Julijono Lindės-Dobilo Blūdo analizė

Author(s): Giedrė Šmitienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 6/2006

The model of the exchangeable identity is widely spread out in the academic discourse as well as in the common thought. On the contrary this paper deals with the passive identity as the sameness that functions in the corporeality of senses or acts. The passive identity anchored in a flesh in question here is treated as a generator of the declared identity. The following considerations in the paper are based on the novel Blûdas by Julijonas Lindë-Dobilas. The considerations begin with the identity set from the outside; then they cross over to specific experiential fields in which the own incorporated identity is recognized and elucidated for self awareness. The novel Blûdas is interpreted as the text where the national self-consciousness unfolds.

Moteriškoji tapatybė Onos Pleirytės-Puidienės-Vaidilutės kultūrinėje laikysenoje ir kūryboje

Author(s): Ramunė Bleizgienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 6/2006

This paper analyses and discusses the problem of a feminine identity, as presented in the early works and the cultural position of Ona Pleirytë-Puidienë-Vaidilutë. The paper investigates the earliest writings of Vaidilutë, “Kada rauda siela” and her diary, where she wrote about her relationship with M. K. Èiurlionis. Woman presented here is active, mobile and searching for the purpose of life. The specific female experience, however, is not explicated. Man (brother, friend) is her traveling partner who helps her to search for the Truth. In her diary, man becomes the leader in their relationship and has the biggest influence on her, as she develops her identity as a writer. The reason for this change can be the change of the place where the relationship between woman and man conspire. The equal link is in the mythical place, but when it takes place in a concrete social situation, man always is a leader; he is the one showing the way to a woman. The list of the independent Lithuanians made by historian of culture V. Kavolis, which consists of more than thirty people, includes only two women. The paper states that the gender proportions in the list reinforces the idea that women were excluded from the history of culture twice; the first time, when they did not have the equal opportunity to participate in the official social life and the second time, when the cultural history itself was recorded.

Tautinė tapatybė lietuvių biografijose (Jonas Basanavičius, Jonas Šliūpas, Vincas Kudirka)

Author(s): Vaidas Šeferis / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 5/2006

The article deals with the autobiographic and biographic texts of three most important authorities of the Lithuanian national revival at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century: Jonas Basanavičius, Jonas Šliūpas and Vincas Kudirka. The goal of the analysis is to capture significant moments in the evolution of the national Lithuanian identity becoming a part of the personal identity by Basanavičius, Šliūpas and Kudirka and also to compare their autobiographic self-images with those provided by later biographical texts. The article shows not only that Basanavičius, Šliūpas and Kudirka represent very different forms of the national self-consciousness, but also that there are large differences between autobiographical and biographical interpretations of the national identity.

Pažvelgus į Mikalojaus Daukšos Katekizmo (1595) ir jo lenkiškojo originalo tekstų neatitikimus

Author(s): Jūratė Pajėdienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 11/2018

The article discusses the inconsistencies between the first Lithuanian Catholic book, Mikalojus Daukša’s Catechism (DK, 1595), and its Polish original, and the reasons that caused these inconsistencies. From the perspective of the text’s origin, DK consists of two works of a different type and different authorship: KATHECHISMAS and Trumpas Budas Paſiſákimo. When comparing the Lithuanian texts of the books comprising this so called ‘convolute’ and the Polish original, it is not difficult to notice that DK (in particular its first part, Kathechismas) contains a number of insertions that do not appear in the Polish original. The analytic comparison between the texts and their originals enables us to describe Daukša as an author who was highly concerned with the logic, order and sound of the discourse. The entirety of the inconsistencies shows the translator’s efforts to render as understandable and coherent a text to the reader as possible and reveals the translator’s careful attention to the wording of theological propositions. The situation of coincidences and inconsistencies between the Decalogue presented in Kathechismas and the model of the Polish original is especially interesting. After the wording of the Decalogue presented in DK, which differs from the Polish original in lexical details or entire phrases, is compared with the Decalogue presented in the catechisms by Mažvydas (1547) and Vilentas (1579), an auxiliary role of those sources reveals in Daukša’s choice of the Decalogue’s sentence structure, certain phrases or individual lexical units.

Lietuvių literatūros vertimai į italų kalbą: dešimtmečio apžvalga (2008–2018)

Author(s): Adriano Cerri / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 11/2018

The article presents an overview of translations from Lithuanian into Italian during the last decade (2008–2018). All translations of Lithuanian works into Italian that are known to the author are reviewed by genre: prose, poetry, essay and theatre. The analysis reveals that poetry is the most translated genre, but several significant novels and essays were also published during the period under review. In the analysis, the terminus post quem is 2007, when Lithuania was an honorary guest of the Turin Book Fair. The aim of this review is not only to update data on Lithuanian literature in Italy, but also to discuss its current situation. The statistics show a positive trend, i.e. there is a steady increase in the number of translated works: over the last five years, the number of translations has almost doubled compared to 2005–2008. However, the constant increase in the number of translations rather than in the number of translators shows that such results were not achieved through external events, but by the work of several dedicated, tireless translators. Keywords: Lithuanian literature, translations

Путешествие “турка” Синдбада: к проблеме выявления источников в арабографичных славяноязычных рукописях литовских татар

Author(s): Galina Miškinienė / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2019

This article talks about the problem of determining the source of Lithuanian Tatar manuscripts written in Slavic using Arabic characters. Among the sources used by manuscript writers, there should be a clear distinction between Muslim and non-Muslim sources. Surah (chapter) of the Quran, separate Aja (verse), Hadiths, texts about the life of the prophets from different books and prayers were one of the main sources of Arabic insertions. Tora, The Bible, and the Psalms of David are the most popular non-Muslim sources. The goal of our research is to determine the source of The Journey of Turk Sindbad text from the Poltorzicki manuscript (1830). In this article is presented a thorough description of the text. The researcher tells general assumptions regarding the used source, describes the phonetic, lexical, grammatical, graphic, and orthographic peculiarities of the text.

Herderio koncepto Humanität raiška Daukanto veikale BUDĄ Senowęs-Lëtuwiû Kalnienû ĩr Ƶámajtiû (1845)

Author(s): Roma Bončkutë / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 108/2021

Simonas Daukantas (1793–1864) was the first Lithuanian national historian to find a correspondence to Johann Gottfried Herder’s term humanity. In his work Buda Senowes Lëtuwiû Kalnienû and Ƶámajtiû (The Character of the Lithuanian Highlanders and Samogitians of the Old Times, 1845), Daukantas used the word žmonystė (humanity). First, the article discusses Daukantas’ acquaintance with Herder’s works. It is stated that Daukantas, like Herder, lived in Riga. According to Daukantas’ notebooks, in which he evaluated Herder’s texts, Daukantas noted nieodbicie trzeba czytać, called die meisterhaften Arbeiten. Daukantas emphasized that humanity is directly related to human freedom, which determines creativity and elevates the nation to a higher degree of civilization. The wars with the Teutonic Order not only changed the Lithuanian way. Unable to conquer the Lithuanians, the Teutons spread false information in Europe about Lithuania. Daukantas emphasizes that the meaning of human and national life – to participate in the lives of others; when it becomes impossible, life is degraded.
