FENOMENUL DE METAFORIZARE ÎN LIMBAJUL RELIGIOS ROMÂNESC

Author(s): Natalia Rotari / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2020

This article broaches the study of religious metaphorical language which, at the key of the Aristotelian idea, represents the connection between the irrational and the rational. One of the metaphorical terms is considered a basic code, usually being a word belonging to the lexical field of sacrality, another term means a sign from reality. The metaphorical equation is constituted on the principle of circular metaphorization, through which one metaphor starts from another.

ЛАВИРИНТ ОД КНИЖЕВНА ФИКЦИЈА И ЖИВОТНА СТВАРНОСТ

Author(s): Ranko Mladenoski,Boban Pereski / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 11/2021

The subject of this short review is the literary-theoretical and literary-critical analysis and interpretation of “Always with Me” by the literary debutant Nikolina Kostovska. It is a contemporary Macedonian novel published this year (2021) and within its structure the author leads us through a labyrinth of three interconnected stories that are presented in three narrative units of the novel: “Prologue”, “First Part” and “Second part”. This narrative labyrinth in the novel is realized with a postmodernist game in which the boundaries between fiction and faction are relativized through three narrative units in its content: fiction in fiction, fiction as literary reality and fiction as life reality. In this review, the stated specifics of the novel will be analyzed in details, which will show that “Always with Me” by Kostovska is a successful and significant novelistic achievement in Macedonian contemporary literature.

МАКЕДОНИЈА И МАКЕДОНЦИТЕ ВО НАРОДНИТЕ ПЕСНИ

Author(s): Marko Kitevski / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 77/2021

Macedonian folk poetry has served to immortalize many important moments in the history of the Macedonian nation. IT songs contain description of the main professions of agriculture and animal husbandry, the major labour processes, various crafts, immigration as an important societal factor in the past, folk mythology and beliefs, rituals, as well as family, romantic and many other relations. However, Macedonian folk poetry derives its greatest inspiration, even reverence, from the name of Macedonia. During the many centuries of enslavement, the Macedonian people have held to its name as its greatest, if not its only treasure, something they considered sacred, a name to identify with and even die for.

Вампирот како дериват на балканската естетика

Author(s): Nikolinka Nolevska / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 62/2013

Mythological idea of the vampire has gone through numerous modifications but its popularity continuously fades occupying time and space in history, means continuously reactualization in and with contemporary literature and culture. This mythical figure becomes a metaphorical representation of series of social and sociological, cultural, historical and psychological treatment of phenomena. Through these written lines we represent it as derivative of multidimensional and polyphonic Balkan aesthetics. Simultaneously, only we touch parts of threads of the rich philosophical discipline named Aesthetics and its networking in the fild of Art or vice versa, the art as distillate of aesthetics. So the figure of the vampire we are introducing as sublimate of series aesthetic categories, mostly through the prism of psychoanalyst and through the anthropological structures of the imaginary, comparing the same with the possible perceptions which posed constellations within the Balkan chronology.

ФЕНОМЕНОТ НА ЖИВОТНИТЕ ФАЗИ ВО ПОЕЗИЈАТА НА БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ

Author(s): Lusi Karanikolova-Chochorovska / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 12/2021

In this article we analyze the life stages in the poetry of Blaze Koneski, from the point of view of history and theory of mentality. Nine poems by Koneski are put to subspecialist analysis: "Life" and "Ars poetica" from the collection of poems "Old and new poems" (1979), then "Children", "Awakening", "Adults" and "Baby" by the book "Message" (1987), "Experiment" from the collection "Church" (1988), the poem "Life path" from the collection of poems "Seismograph" (1989) and the poem "New Year 1992" from the collection "Black aries" (1993). These are reflective poems with distinctly elegiac features and selected to show the poet's understanding of the phenomenon - life stages, i.e. age levels. In that sense, in the poems and through them will be treated the different periods of life (childhood, youth, adulthood and old age), chronologically, according to the history of the European mentality (antiquity, the Middle ages and the new century), as found in these poems, but also the thoughts and feelings of the emphasized lyrical subject according to this question. The purpose is to present a lesser known Koneski to the wider Macedonian readership, an adult, a little tired and melancholic, Koneski, who knows how to philosophize, poetically shape abstractions, to sound exhausted, to grieve and sick, to rejoice and value life...

БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ КАКО СЛИКАР

Author(s): Slavčo Koviloski / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 12/2021

In the paper we refer to Blazhe Koneski's interest in painting, in his first attempts to try in the world of art. We trace his connection with painting from the earliest years until his adulthood. We categorize his interest in painting in two groups: first, by following the frescoes in the monastery of St. Archangel Michael in Varos (Prilep), the portrayal of Lazar Lichenoski and the opening of the exhibition of Cane Sekuloski, and secondly, as an author who transforms nature, paintings and frescoes into literary works. Hence our perception of Koneski as a painter in literature.

BLAŽE KONESKI E DANTE ALIGHIERI – OMAGGIO AI POETI E ALLA POESIA

Author(s): Anastasija Gjurčinova / Language(s): Italian Issue: 12/2021

2021 marks two important centenaries: it is both 100 years from the birth of the Macedonian poet Blaže Koneski, and 700 years from the death of the father of the Italian language, Dante Alighieri. This paper compares the two authors, discussing their poetic ideas and their position in their respective cultures. The comparison is proposed from the point of view of the symbiosis of the role of poet and linguist in their important cultural contribution, of a national character, in particular in their commitment to the constitution of the literary language. Furthermore, both poets followed their "poetic intuition" in order to give a particular vitality to their linguistic conceptions. Finally, Koneski's poem entitled "Dante" is analysed, where the Macedonian author reflects some of his most intimate existential dilemmas in a creative dialogue with the great Italian poet.

ДВЕ ГОДИШНИНИ – ДВА СТОЖЕРНИ ВЕКА (КОН ДВАТА ГОЛЕМИ МАКЕДОНСКИ ЈУБИЛЕИ – 95 ГОДИНИ ОД СМРТТА НА КРСТЕ ПЕТКОВ МИСИРКОВ И 100 ГОДИНИ ОД РАЃАЊЕТО НА БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ)

Author(s): Ana Vitanova-Ringaceva / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 12/2021

There are years in the history of every nation that have written history, years of creation and years of significant historical returns. This year 2021 is marked by the two pivotal anniversaries for Macedonia and the Macedonian people, 95 years since the death of Krste Petkov Misirkov and 100 years since the birth of Blaze Koneski. For the Macedonian people, language and the country in general, the year 2021 is a year of returning to the two pivots, two strong pillars dug deep into the foundations of the Macedonian existence. When we write about the position of these two great linguists and codifiers of the Macedonian literary language, then the conclusion that without them we could not talk about the Macedonian cultural-linguistic continuity is inevitably confirmed. The work of Misirkov and Blaze Konesi is our strongest argument against all the imposed denials of our existence and cultural continuity, arguments that we inherited more than 100 years ago. The paradigm set by Misirkov received its extensive elaboration and practical demonstration in the codification of the Macedonian literary language, a logical act after the centuries-old process of language maturation.

АНАЛИЗА НА ПЕСНАТА „ТЕШКОТО“ ОД БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ

Author(s): Ivana Koteva,Mahmut Çelik / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 12/2021

Blaze Koneski is a prominent Macedonian poet, prose writer, essayist, philologist, literary historian, translator and one of the codifiers of the Macedonian literary language. Most of his poetic work is with patriotic motives, the songs are close to the people and through them he revives the history and tradition of the homeland. One such example is the anthological song "The Difficult". In it, through the traditional dance, the poet expresses his love for his homeland. The song begins with the trembling soul of the poet from the sounds of the dance that remind him of the difficult past of the homeland and its people. Then the dance continues calmly, but the cracking of the drum accelerates the rhythm of the dance, with young people joining it and turning the ground. Through the chain of slaves, Koneski represents the long-lasting bloody and dark slavery of the people. But the people are leading a rebellious dance that signifies freedom and a bright future.

ПРОЧКА ВО СЕМЕЈСТВОТО НА ТРАЈЧЕ (ЗБОР-ДВА ЗА РАСКАЗОТ „ПРОЧКА“ ОД БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ)

Author(s): Slavica Urumova-Markovska / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 12/2021

This paper analyzes the customs and beliefs associated with the great holiday of Forgiveness. It is obvious that forgiveness is a custom established under the influence of the church, while the carnivals are remnants of the pre-Christian spring parties that Koneski beautifully described in the autobiographical text "Forgiveness". The purpose of this paper is to get into the roots of this celebration in order to discover its essential importance for Koneski from all aspects; to penetrate the centuries-old cultural influences in order to understand the current cultural tradition of our people. Efforts are made to point out the importance of nurturing of tradition and celebration, as an expression of Koneski's cultural memory. This topic is equally important for Macedonian folklore and Macedonian literature.

БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ ВО НАСТАВАТА ПО ПРЕДМЕТОТ МАКЕДОНСКИ ЈАЗИК

Author(s): Marija Grkova-Beader / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 12/2021

The name Blaze Koneski finds an essential place in the textbooks on the subject of Macedonian language for primary and secondary education. In the year of 2021 a 100 years have passed since his birth, therefore, that same year was commemorated as a year in honor of Blaze Koneski. At the same time, 2021 has also been declared an International Year of Peace and Trust by the General Assembly of the United Nations where the Republic of Macedonia joins the celebration of the International Year with a special program that will be dedicated to the great Macedonian patron, Koneski. His birthday is also inscribed on the UNESCO List for celebrating significant anniversaries in the world during 2021. The program, which is part of the calendar of important international anniversaries, is joined by several institutions, ministries, associations in the country and abroad, including the National Bank and the Macedonian Post, which will aim to issue a gold coin and a postage stamp featuring the portrait of Koneski. This is where the inspiration and the idea to review the life and work of Koneski in the textbooks in primary and secondary education emerged from.

ОСВРТ КОН ПОСЛЕДНАТА ПОЕТСКА ЗБИРКА, „ЦРН ОВЕН“ ОД БЛАЖЕ КОНЕСКИ

Author(s): Bojana Samardzieva / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 12/2021

This paper is an overview of the last poetry collection of Blaze Koneski. It is about the poetic collection „Black Aries“, published only a few months before his death. Although he planned to stop writing, the influx of verses made him create his last piece. Koneski gives a symbolic title to his collection, trying from the beginning to present his view and express his feelings. The overall poetry of this collection is a set of intertwined emotions: sadness, loneliness, nostalgia, turmoil. He uses short, but well-thought words, which may seem poor, but they are with deep meaning. But also in his poetry, Koneski expresses his calmness and his anticipation of the end as death constantly lurks over his pen. He himself feels the end approaching, so he finalized one era, epoch, as it befits such a great poet.

МАКЕДОНСКАТА ДЕТСКА ЛИТЕРАТУРА ВО XIX ВЕК

Author(s): Valentina Mironska Hristovska / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 1/2021

The text will follow the appearance of the first children's works in the Macedonian literary XIX century. Their significance, despite the fact that they do not have high aesthetic values, is nevertheless great, because they responded to the needs of the time. Furthermore, they give us the opportunity to determine the continuity of development of Macedonian children's literature, which has primary importance for the mental, emotional and educational development of children. We note, especially in the last few years, that the interest for children's literature is great, both by authors and by publishers, who have started republishing works. This confirms the universality of children's literature, with its timeless themes and motives which are interesting, intriguing, attractive, fun, fulfilling their ultimate pedagogical function, directing the child towards better life principles. Up until the Enlightenment, there was no interest in the child, except for the solitary manifestations by John Locke, Jan Amas Komensky and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Areal interest in the child was shown in the time of Romanticism. Within the Macedonian cultural development there is an interest shown in children during the Enlightenment, at the beginning of the XIX century. The first books published in the vernacular were intended for adults, but at the same time provided directions for better upbringing of children. The first authors of children's works, among the series of their activities, were collectors of folk art who were also engaged in education. Authors of the so far discovered works for children are Partenija Zografski, Jordan Hadzi Konstantinov Dzinot, Grigor Prlichev, Evtim Sprostranov, Tomo Sminjanic Bradina, and we will also acknowledge Marko Cepenkov.

ЕВТИМИЦА ЈАНЧЕВА: АВТОРКА НА ПРВИОТ РЕГИСТРИРАН МАКЕДОНСКИ ЖЕНСКИ ПОЛЕМИЧКИ ТЕКСТ

Author(s): Slavčo Koviloski / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 2/2021

In this paper, we refer to a polemic from 1898 in which the teacher Evtimica Jancheva from the town of Voden took part. The polemic developed as a response to two texts in which the authors criticised women, especially teachers, for their attitude towards fashion and work. Jancheva's extensive text, published in the newspaper Novini, in the section Correspondence, defends the right of women to be teachers, to follow the latest fashion trends, etc. In this way, the article by Evtimica Jancheva is the first registered polemical writing in Macedonian literature, in which a woman had taken part, while Evtimca Jancheva is considered to be the first Macedonian woman to take part in a public polemic.

„ОТСЕКОГАШ МИСЛЕВ ДЕКА НЕМА ДА ПИШУВАМ КАКО ЖЕНА„ (Женското писмо во расказите Мирис на Оливера Николова и Варовник во прав на Оливера Ќорвезироска

Author(s): Elizabeta Bakovska / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 61/2013

The authentic thematic preoccupations and approach specific for women authors in the Macedonian prose (as women`s writing, defined by the Anglo-American feminist critics, such as Elaine Showalter, Sandra Gilbert, Susan Gubar, or Joanna Russ) can be illustrated by the analysis of two short stories: The Smell by Olivera Nikolova and The Limestone Powder by Olivera Kjorveziroska. The former, written in an unusual narrative approach of second person storytelling, is a mimesis of giving birth, a process depicting the exclusive female corporal experience. As such, it stretches the boundaries of the female body to a previously unknown degree of expansion and transformation, being followed by the narrative structure of the story. The latter is women`s writing which, again, mimetically follows the internal world of the female subject - it is a patchwork, sewn together by pieces of deep and subtle emotions on one hand, and mundane, everyday tasks of a housewife, made perfect by the long years of marital practice. The alienation between the spouses is metaphorically turned into a limestone, powdered to spice the everyday life and thus made to truly disappear.

ОНОМАТОПЕЈАТА ВО ЛИТЕРАТУРАТА ЗА МАЛИ ДЕЦА: АНГЛИСКО-МАКЕДОНСКИ СПОРЕДБИ

Author(s): Zvonko Taneski,Ana Lazarova-Nikovska / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 61/2013

In the Republic of Macedonia in recent years there has been an increase in the translations of foreign authors of literature for children. It is a literary genre which imposes a number of challenges for the translator, both from a linguistic, as well as from a cultural perspective. In this paper, we focus specifically on the popular nursery rhymes, as presented in the Anglo-Saxon literary tradition. Our linguistic analysis centres around exclamations and other onomatopoeic expressions, as largely used stylistic figures in the particular literary genre. In the paper, we offer a semantic typological classification of the exclamations used as well as translation strategies or their translation equivalents.

„МАЖОТ Е ГЛАВАТА, АМА ЖЕНАТА Е ВРАТОТ“ (или за некои аспекти на родовата анализа на македонската народна култура)

Author(s): Ana Martinoska / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 61/2013

Gender analysis of the Macedonian folk culture helped us to reveal the standard patterns and behaviour norms that men and women practice and experience in the frames of the traditional folk culture of the Macedonians and the other nations residing in Republic of Macedonia. The paper involves research on the relations between gender and patriarchate namely discusses the patriarchal model in Macedonian folk culture, as well as stereotypes of the woman and her identity in the folk tradition. Nonetheless the paper is trying to identify whether the patriarchate is the only one responsible for the discrimination of the woman and the undisputable domination of the man. In the attempt to present different approaches, the paper is dealing with the concessions from the patriarchal model and some cases of its non existence. In that context the paper reviews the relation between gender and Eros, through remarkable examples of folk creations with erotic content. The paper also deals with the issue of canonisation of the Macedonian female folk singing, where weíre emphasising the role of the talented female singers and narrators of the Macedonian folk creations as the first female authors in the Macedonian history of literature, i.e. the role of the woman as holder and transmitter of the Macedonian folk culture.
