Чуда светог Саве у предањима, легендама и легендарним причама

Author(s): Dejan Ilić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 169/2019

In the forthcoming work on a certain corpus of legends, stories, and legendary stories, various aspects of the thematic-motive complex of miracles that are attributed to St. Sava or being into direct connection with him are analyzed. The forms of miracles, the ways of their manifestation, and the subjects, objects, and function of miracles are pointed out. Miracles are considered through a primarily Christian-evangelical perspective in connection with the polystadial folklore character of Saint Sava, the genre qualities and sensibility of the man of folklore culture, his understanding of sin, justice, and virtue. Since the miracle in traditional culture is perceived as the influence of the other side on the other side, as a phenomenon of transcendence, and to be believed in, in this work it is not related to fiction. The relationship of miracles with the chronotope, its role in cosmization, and the organization of the world are examined. The story itself is considered as a miracle and the significance of the story and miracles for the collective.

Светле слике Драгутина Илића

Author(s): Aleksandra Kuzmić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 169/2019

The paper explores the key characteristics and the reception of glorious images [svetla slika] in the work of Dragutin Ilić, who found the material for this type of a text mostly in the New Testament legends and Serbian history in the period of the struggle for the liberation from the Ottoman rule in the early 19th century. It also aims to establish a relationship between the image [slika – a short form of narrative fiction used in Serbian Realism] as an inter-genre used by the Serbian authors of the second half of the 19th century (including Dragutin Ilić) and the glorious image. In Ilić’s works, the term glorious image entails a carefully selected topic and a clearly presented message. The first part of the research focuses on glorious images in the early days of Christianity, while the second part explores glorious images from the Serbian struggle for the “Holy Cross” (i.e. the anti-Ottoman liberation struggle). Ilić published these works both in periodicals and as books in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This analysis of glorious images and the insights stemming from it are placed in the frameworks of literary history, literary theory and comparative studies. The main common denominator of this genre in Ilić’s works, it has emerged, is ideological: his glorious images offer the reader a model of life rooted in faith, suffering and sacrifice and governed by elevated ethical and Christian principles and traditionally valued virtues. Fully aware of its importance and meaning, Ilić cautiously approaches the demanding religious and literary subject matter, which he uses as the starting point for creating his New Testament glorious images, which occasionally results in psychologically unconvincing characters or compositional incoherence or an overemphasized moral of the story – or all three at the same time. Ilić’s distinctive humor and irony, typical of many of his works, are completely absent from his glorious images from the early days of Christianity. The in-depth psychological characterization of some literary characters (such as Herodias, Yair, Judas) gives these works of narrative fiction a special quality. The contemporary critics were divided in their evaluation of Ilić’s glorious images (Marko Car and Pavle Lagarić, for instance). This part of Ilić’s oeuvre offers a wealth of material and lends itself to various research approaches: from a comparative exploration of similarly conceived texts in European literature (Selma Lagerlöf, Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy) to an analysis of intertextuality, auto-images and hetero-images to the mechanics of fantastical elements.

Mise-en-abyme der Rezeption. Zu den Frühkritiken des Chasarischen Wörterbuchs auf Deutsch

Author(s): Milica Mustur / Language(s): German Issue: 169/2019

With an implicit view on issues of theoretical importance, the paper analyzes the earliest phase in the reception of the Dictionary of the Khazars by Milorad Pavić in the German-speaking area. The research focuses on reports about the novel and its author in the German print media published before the publication of the German translation of the work, with a view to the later development of reception within the newspaper, daily criticism. A detailed review of the content of this early reception phase shows that even then, before the publication of the Dictionary of the Khazars in German, almost all critical judgments about the novel were formulated, as well as the image of the writer's personal and authorial profile. The paper ends with a question about the value of these conclusions for understanding the general mechanisms of literary reception, ie. for possible generalizations in the domain of reception aesthetics.

Српска књижевност у Румунији током протеклих четврт века

Author(s): Octavia Nedelcu / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2018

Over time, the Serbian (Yugoslav) ‒ Romanian cultural, literary and linguistic relations and the issues related to the Serbian minority in Romania have always risen the interest of the scientific community, of researchers involved in Slavic studies and literary historians from both sides of the border, which developed in volumes, studies, articles, lectures held at numerous national and international symposia and conferences. However, when it comes to the Serbian language literature in our country, the scope of these researches is noticeably restrained, although there are certain reference works, most of which are limited to introductory studies, anthologies' prefaces or postfaces and writers' lexicons. Speaking about the Serbian literature in Romania in the past quarter century, one can hardly see any. And this is the very topic of our paper. The most thorough analysis and value judgment of the literary creation of the Serbian minority in our country after the Second World War was provided by Vojislava Stoianovich, the author of an anthology of poetry and prose in Serbo-Croatian, Trajanje "Endurance" (Vojislava Stojanović, 1986). This is the first book ever published in the neighboring country ‒ in Yugoslavia at that time, in 1986. It was meant to be the first step of a synthetic retrospective analysis of these literary phenomena, along with other cultural aspects presented such as: education, cultural-artistic movement, mass-media, editorial activity, literary papers, literature circles, linguistic issues. Our research aims at a critical radiography of the literary works of the Serbian writers in Romania in the last quarter century. We intend to analyze the literary (con/in)fluences coming from both the Romanian and the Serbian literature, their cultural and literary positioning as compared to the country of origin, the immediate contacts occasioned by various cultural and literary activities, the place they have in the Serbian literature, the way they are perceived in Serbia and Romania and, last but not least, the continuity due to the young writers, many of them having studied in Serbia.

Imaginea Rusiei în romanul lui Miloš Crnjanski, „Migrațiile”

Author(s): Camelia Dinu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2019

This study of Tsernianski’s masterful twentieth-century historical novel Migrationsfollows two paths: i) a literary analysis of the overarching plot, individual narrative episodes,thematics, as well as the cast of characters in order to bring into relief not only Tsernianski’s superb narrative skill but also the texture of the social fresco he paints; and ii) an examination of the desire to emigrate to Russia which was alive in the Serbian imagination in the eighteenth century and most vividly in the consciousness of the novel’s main character, Vuk Isakovic. This study identifies and systematizes references to Russia with respect both to the fictional world and imagination of the main character and to the historical reality motivating the novel’s action.

Милош Црњански и Душан Васиљев између агоније и екстазе

Author(s): Octavia Nedelcu / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2019

Value judgments when it comes to two writers and their works can never be complete and accurate, but Miloš Crnjanski (1893-1977) and Dušan Vasiljev (1900-1924) share many similarities in creative, spiritual, biographical and even geographic terms. Despite their different destinies and distinctive critical appraisals, the similarities in their lyrics mainly stem from the fact that the two poets published their work in one of the most significant and complex moments in the development of the Serbian poetry, when a series of foreign and domestic literary trends came forward under the name of Expressionism, namely Modernism. We therefore tried to demonstrate in our paper that, in the case of Vasiljev, epigonism was out of question, although Crnjansky was an idol and a permanent source of inspiration to him, because his poetry was indeed personal, which was useless to prove.

ПЈЕСНИК КОГА СЕ СЕЛО ОДРЕКЛО

Author(s): Boško Lomović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3-4/2020

„Све ће то, мила моја, / прекрити рузмарин, сњегови и шаш“ – гласе најчувенији стихови домаћег рок-енд-рола. Они су дио пјесме Мајевички ноктурно коју је, средином осамдесетих прошлог вијека, Драго Куђић посветио, како је сам изјавио, једној дјевојци са Мајевице. Прва строфа гласи: „Све ће то, мила моја, / Прекрити снегови бели / И тебе и мене / И живот нам цели“. Узео их је, без питања, Горан Бреговић, као и стихове из друге Драгове пјесме Све ће то, мила моја: „И љубав / И рат / Све ћемо ми то, мила моја, / Преболети / И опет се волети / И све ћемо / О, мила моја, / Заборавити / И остарити...“.

Другости y роману Kaп шпанске крви Милоша Црњанског

Author(s): Ana Stević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 170/2020

The paper presents an imagological reading of an insufficiently studied classic of Serbian literature, the novel A Drop of Spanish Blood, in relation to the theory of the Apollonian and Dionysian principles elaborated in Camille Paglia’s Sexual Personae. The analysis of the archetypal and intertextual background of the text, as well as the images of Spain and Germany and their representatives – characters – elucidates the nature and function of the stereotypes which they carry within the novelistic expression of Miloš Crnjanski.

L’enfant terrible српске књижевности или велики скандализатор: рецепција дела Миодрага Булатовића у Француској

Author(s): Milivoj Srebro / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 170/2020

Personnalité hors pair, écrivain à l’esprit frondeur et à l’imagination effrénée, Miodrag Bulatović (1930-1991) fut, déjà de son vivant, l’un des écrivains serbes les plus traduits en France : ses six livres y ont été publiés entre 1963 et 1985. Comme jadis en ex-Yougoslavie, « l’enfant terrible » de la littérature serbe avait en France également ses adeptes et ses contradicteurs, suscitant souvent des réactions animées et contradictoires : l’enthousiasme, qui a surtout accompagné ses premiers livres, les critiques sporadiques mais aussi, plus tard, les commentaires négatifs parfois très virulents.Tout en suivant d’une manière chronologique la réception des œuvres de Bulatović en France durant plus de cinquante ans – depuis la parution du Coq rouge en 1963 jusqu’à sa réédition en 2015 – l’auteur de cette étude s’applique à analyser les spécificités de cette réception, sa dynamique mais aussi les différents facteurs qui ont conditionné un accueil atypique de cet écrivain par la critique française. L’analyse démontre ainsi, entre autres, que les réactions d’animosité que Bulatović aura suscitées sont en partie la conséquence directe de l’amalgame qui a été fait entre son œuvre littéraire et sa personnalité « politiquement incorrecte ». Cependant, la conclusion qu’offre cette étude va au-delà de cet amalgame et souligne que l’accueil de l’inclassable romancier du Monténégro dans l’Hexagone soulève en réalité le problème fondamental de la réception de la littérature serbe en France : une certaine difficulté de compréhension entre deux modèles culturels, l’un fondé, métaphoriquement parlant, sur « l’esprit cartésien », l’autre façonné par « le tempérament slave ».

Емпатијско-етички модел читања y настави књижевности

Author(s): Snežana Božić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 170/2020

The focus of this paper is the explication of the empathic-ethical model of reading, developed on the basis of the theory of narrative empathy by Suzanne Keen, the psychological studies on connection of empathy and moral development by Martin Hoffman and the ethical criticism by Marta Nussbaum. This approach, based on a broader field of affective narratology and psychology of fiction (postulated in the works by Patrick C. Hogan, James Phelan, Keith Oatley, etc.), explores the narrative techniques leading to more effective empathic impact of a literary text, linking it to the reinforcement of the reader’s moral values, altruistic behavior and pro-social behavior. In this paper, we determined the links with the basic methodical-methodological principles of the modern methods of teaching literature, where the theory of narrative empathy and empathic-ethical reading may be important in establishing the teaching strategies for motivating students to read and interpret works of literature, and they are also strongly aligned with fulfilling the character-building educational goals. The presented insights on narrative empathy, empathic imagination and ethical criticism, introduced in the methodical context, are also evidence of existing but insufficiently utilized methodical potential of the modern interdisciplinary cognitive-narratological studies. As an integral part of the expertise-based teaching methodology, various theoretical concepts in studying narrativity and particularly the relationship between the emotions and the narrative may enrich the methodology with innovative approaches to works of literature, more inspiring both for the teacher and the students. In the final chapter of this paper, the methodological potentials of empathic-ethical model of reading were discussed on the examples of novels included in the school literature courses: A. Nanetti, My grandfather was a cherry tree and A. Cruz, The books that devoured my father.

ТВОРБЕНО-СТИЛСКА АНАЛИЗА КОМПОЗИТНИХ ИНДИВИДУАЛИЗАМА У РОМАНУ СИТНИЧАРНИЦА „КОД СРЕЋНЕ РУКЕ” Г. ПЕТРОВИЋА

Author(s): Strahinja R. Stepanov,Milan S. Ajdžanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2020

The paper deals with stylistic analysis of compounds excerpted from Sitničarnica „Kod srećne ruke“, a novel by renowned Serbian author G. Petrović. The analysis has shown that the nouns in question are rather frequent in the corpus (294) despite the restrictive criteria authors used for forming their corpus. However, the authors focused on 31 compounds in total, each of which bear author’s individual peculiarity and can be considered stylistically marked.
