(ЗЛО)УПОТРЕБА НА ПОЕЗИЈАТА: ПОЛИТИЧКИТЕ ПАРТИИ И КОНЕСКИ

Author(s): Loreta Georgievska-Jakovleva / Language(s): Macedonian / Issue: 72/2018

The starting point of this paper is the impression that Blazhe Koneski’s poetry, in one way or another, has been mentioned often by the members or fans of the political parties in Macedonia. This condition imposes the question: Why is Blazhe Koneski the author that has been constantly (ab)used in political campaigns? Identifying the reasons by looking into his authority, his broad significance and the tendency his poetry to be brought closer to the people, I ask the question: What is so wrong in the use of someone’s poetry so that it becomes abused? By analyzing three separate cases including the requirement of one of the protesters, as reported in the newspaper Republika, the former mayor of the Centre municipality to read Koneski in the campaign-related videos of two parties SDSM and VMRO-DPMNE, we can conclude that the poems “Marko’s Monastery” and “Church” were used for political parties’ reasons on the basis of shallow and incorrect interpretation, while the poems “Teshkoto” and “Prayer require a complex process of transformation where the symbolic meaning has been replaced with communication. All three cases distort the idea and the message by the author and represent examples of the (ab)use of and manipulation with poetry.

Funkcija dokumenta u suvremenom makedonskom romanu(Na primjerima iz romana S. Janevskog)

Author(s): Zlatko Kramaric / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 296/1983

Prije nego što pokušamo odrediti funkcije dokumenata u suvremenom makedonskom romanu, dužni smo odgovoriti na pitanje: što je roman? Već sam naslov naše rasprave implicira sva ona poimanja koja smatraju da je roman jedini žanr u nastanku, odnosno da je riječ o žanru koji ne podliježe »kanonizaciji«.1 Roman je žanr koji neprestano pomjera svoje žanrovske granice »prema nebeletrističkoj prozi (memoarskoj literaturi, putopisu, dijalogu, satiri, istoriografiji, dnevnicima, pismima), a romaneskni govor postojano je upućen prema različitim savremenim govornim slojevima, odnosno, postoji u više jezičkih ravni,2 u ’razngglasju’ karakterističnom za žive jezičke procese. Otud je jezik ovog žanra, zapravo, ’sistem je zik a ’, i od početka podrazumeva mogućnost literarnog korišćenja raznorodnih neliterarnih oblika: dijalekatski govor, stilova epistolarnih i dnevničkih, dokumentarističkih, naučnih, filozofsko-esejističkih« (Lj. Jeremić, 1978, 84), a da i pored toga zadrži status načelno promjenjivog i nestabilnog, a i relativno rano u svojoj povijesti svjesnog sebe kao izuzetnog u ovom smislu.

Kazalište kao stjecište kolektivne i privatne traume u Erigonu Jordana Plevneša

Author(s): Ivica Bakovic / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 16/2016

The text problematizes the concept of national history and trauma in the play Erigon, written by the contemporary Macedonian playwright Jordan Plevneš. The starting point of the analysis are some peculiarities of Plevneš’s poetics and of the theatrical conceptions of Antonin Artaud that are central to Erigon as well as the problem of the representation (and performance) of history in drama and theatre. In Erigon one can recognize the critique of eurocentrism and the European centres of power along with their influence on the formation of political and historical processes in Macedonia and the Balkans in general. The main question concerns the societal role of political theatre and its power.

Makedonska književna produkcija u 2017. godini

Author(s): Elizabeta Bakovska / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 1-2/2018

Već nekoliko godina makedonska književnost (i makedonska kultura uopće) suočava se sa fenomenom pojave sve više stvaralaca, a sve manje uživalaca. U slučaju književnosti, povećani broj izdavača, dostupnost izdavačkog procesa, ali i društvene mreže kao alternativna platforma na kojoj se plasiraju književna djela doveli su do stalne ponude naslova. U makedonskom slučaju, ova bujica je još veća jer postojano pada na glave malobrojne publike — što zbog generalno malog broja govornika i čitalaca makedonskog jezika, što zbog još ograničenijih čitateljskih poriva te (potencijalne) publike. Ove 2017. godine ta se publika isto tako suočila i sa svojevrsnom amuptacijom izvjesnog broja medija koji su se godinama nadovezivali na kulturnu produkciju popularnim pregledima i kritikom, dajući tako publici neke smjernice ili, što je još važnije, dajući joj prostor u kojem se mogao pročitati i vidjeti ne samo kulturni proizvod nego i malo dublje kritičko razmišljanje o njemu.

Przekłady literatury macedońskiej na język polski i polskiej na język macedoński za 2015 rok

Author(s): Zofia Dembowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016

The purpose of this article is to comment on Polish‑Macedonian and Macedonian‑Polish translations published in 2015. The main aim was the synthesis of the literature translated (5 works overall) and to reflect upon what types of challenges the translator faced and how successful the result of the work was. The second objective was an evaluation on what the pattern of the choices was and to analyse the purposes of choosing these particular positions from the vast literature resources of both countries. The main conclusion is that even though the literatures examined are not popular, new translations are regularly published and the choice is either literature that is modern and popular, or classical.

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL DISCOURSE IN AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY MARKO CEPENKOV

Author(s): Jovanka Denkova / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

This paper explores the question of autobiographical discourse in the work "Аutobiography" by Marko Cepenkov. Firstly, we will determine the basic theoretical settings according to which a text can be said to be autobiographical or it contains autobiographical elements. Then, we will specifically indicate the presence of the explicit and implicit techniques or elements in certain works that are used by the author in addition to which his work can be called an "autobiographical text". Even though his theoretical model will be used, in the same time the inconsistencies in this model will be indicated as well as its modification in the literary works of autobiographical discourse. In that context, the "Autobiography" by Marko Cepenkov will be reviewed, in which, joining the private and the socially-public, depicted through the whole relevant Balkan situation in that time, he created a specific autobiographical – biographical discourse of memoirs. In that manner, the uncertain theoretical status of autobiography will be confirmed, the previous definition of autobiography as "dogmatic" will be unmasked and a notion that autobiography cannot be seen isolated from the other genres will be created, i.e. the existence of hybrid genres will be confirmed.

The European Topos in the New Macedonian Novel

Author(s): Katica Kulavkova / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

The European topos in the new Macedonian novel is accepted as a home. Young Macedonian authors consider Europe their home. The fact that they live outside the European Union, or outside the European West, which has for a long time been considered the implicit cultural centre of the world, does not make them less European. Originally born in Macedonia, a cultural centre of the distant past that used to consider Western Europe a periphery, writers such as Goce Smilevski and Olivera Kjorveziroska materialize in their works the ‘Western European topos’ in a seemingly sidelong, but none the less essential manner. They draw attention to the dark side of Western culture and the suppressed content that official historiography tends to conceal. They remind us that Europe’s spiritual being knows no boundaries and that literature transcends institutional, conceptual, and ethical frontiers. Liberated from European stigma (fallacious moral, repressed memory, colonial traumas), these Macedonian authors reveal certain parts of the European Shadow (the collective unconscious, the historical archives full of shameful bits). No civilization is without its dark facets. That is the law of Light. That is how Europe is, composed of West and East, but also of North and South. It is liminal and intercultural. In its process of assimilating, it becomes assimilated. The interpretation focuses on novels by Goce Smilevski (Razgovor so Spinoza / Conversation with Spinoza, 2002; Sestrata na Sigmund Frojd / Sigmund Freud’s Sister, 2007/2010, Vrakanjetо na zborovite / The Return of the Words, 2015) and by Olivera Kjorveziroska (Zakluchenoto telo na Lu / Lou’s Locked Body, 2005).

БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ – ЗЕМЈАТА И ЉУБОВТА (1948) – ЗА КОЛЕКТИВНИОТ МЕНТАЛИТЕТ И НАЦИОНАЛНОТО СЕБЕСОЗНАНИЕ

Author(s): Lusi Karanikolova-Chochorovska / Language(s): Macedonian / Issue: 72/2018

This year the collection of poems Land And Love (1948) marks 70 years since the first publication for the Macedonian cultural and scientific public. It represents the dominant patriotic position addressing specific themes in 13 poems. Specifically, the themes of the poems are related to the homeland and the concept of patriotism. Regardless of the way of expressing it, we might share nothing new regarding the early poetry of the giant of the Macedonian culture of the 20th century – Blazhe Koneski. The feeling is equal to the impression when someone is about to „interpret“ Koneski, even though every repeated approach to his poetry is exiting again. It is always challenging and it is never hard. This paper tries to approach the collective (read: national, Macedonian) mentality in the 13 poems, in the collection Land And Love, as it is in its edition from 1981. The analysis does not emphasize the treatment of the homeland theme, because that is something familiar to the reader since the early school years. Our effort is reduced to review of at least one verse of each poem in this collection where the Macedonian national mentality is „visible“. We do not strive for greater ambition than to show (of course, we do not have to prove) that the national mentality is present, i.e. omnipresent and that Land And Love is just an echo, a reaction of the poet’s high national self-cognition.

БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ – ПОЕТ НА НЕМИРНО ВРЕМЕ

Author(s): Maja Jakimovska-Tošic / Language(s): Macedonian / Issue: 72/2018

Since the occasion of 70 years since the publication of the poem "The Earth and the Love" by the prominent Macedonian poet and writer Blaze Koneski, in this text we want to emphasize that his poems refer to the awareness and the feeling of the unity of poetry and life. The basis of the poetic message of Koneski is characterized by: depth, lyricism, intimacy, confession, thoughtfulness .We emphasize that Koneski's poetry is close to us, to our concepts of life, they come from our everyday lives and our tradition. In the text we confirm the position that his poetic work is assessed as complex in its details and simple in its entirety by the Macedonian critical science.

БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ – СТОЛБ НА МАКЕДОНСКАТА НАЦИОНАЛНА ЛИНГВАКУЛТУРА И ВО ГЛОБАЛИЗАЦИСКАТА ДОБА – втор дел

Author(s): Sveto Toevski / Language(s): Macedonian / Issue: 70/2018

In the era of globalization, Blazhe Koneski is not only the name that divides the ages, but also the backbone of the Macedonian collective linguaculture. However, his work should not be read as a kind of a „linguistic gospel“”, but more as a „linguistic message“ to the present and future Mace-donian generations that will need to take good care of their own mother tongue, in order to love, respect, and behave actively and creatively with it. The famous English philosopher and linguist of Austrian origins Ludwig Wittgenstein once said: „The limits of my language are the limits of my world“. Koneski’s message is that every Macedonian needs to contribute as much as possible to the expanding of the boundaries of their own language, thereby expanding the boundaries of their world. The development of the Macedonian linguaculture as an open, self-isolated universe of linguistic and cultural practices, is the direction in which to act.

БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ МЕЃУ КУЛТУРНИТЕ СВЕТЦИ НА ЕВРОПА

The text is a questionnaire prepared for the international scientific project National Poets and Cultural Saints of Europe, held by the Slovenian and Icelandic academies of sciences and arts in 2016. Our answer on this questionnaire is that Blaze Koneski is the Macedonian poet who can be considered as national cultural saint of Europe because of his great opus with strong national feelings interconnected with universal values; also because of his role in the codification of standard Macedonian, and all of his activism as a professor, academy member, Slavic linguist, and historian.
