Autobiografia P. Paulína Bajana OFM (1721–1792)

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 03+04/2016

KAČIC, L. – ZAVARSKÝ, S. (Eds.): The Autobiography of P. Paulinus Bajan OFM (1721–1792), Slavica Slovaca, 51, 2016, No. 3 (supplementum), pp. 3 – 93 (Bratislava). The Franciscan preacher, organ player, and composer P. Paulinus Bajan OFM (1721–1792) was a prominent figure of Slovakia’s culture in the eighteenth century. Bajan’s Latin autobiography provides a vivid picture of the vicissitudes of his life, beginning with his childhood and taking us through the adventures of his education, his entrance into the Fransciscan Order, and his years as a musician and long-time preacher in Skalica, his hometown. Bajan’s autobiography is written in a fresh and sprightly style. The Latin he used was obviously very close to the colloquial form of the language spoken in his contemporary Slovakia. This critical edition, accompanied by a Slovak translation, is intended to become a basis for further philological, historical, and literary research.

K formovaniu modernej poľskej slovakistiky

Author(s): Zuzana Obertová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2020

The paper describes the beginnings of research on Slovak literature in Poland from the late 19th century to the year 1939. It presents the research by slavists Józef Gołąbek and Jan Magiera, who had their comparative articles published in Polish and Slovak periodicals, J. Magiera wrote a concise, synthesizing work titled Literatura czeska i słowacka (Czech and Slovak Literature, 1929). The paper deals carefully with the work by Władysław Bobek, who carried out research on Slovak literature in the 1930s most intensively. He continued on the previous positivist comparative research (Mickiewicz w literaturze słowackiej/Mickiewicz in Slovak literature, 1931), he mapped analogies between Polish and Slovak literatures written in the period of Romanticism, he outlined the issues of translation between the two related languages. He analyzed Slovak literature written in the periods of Baroque, Neoclassicism and Romanticism and also commented on methodological issues of historical classification. He presented his own synthesis of Slovak literary history (Prehľadné dejiny slovenskej literatúry/General History of Slovak Literature, 1938). The works of all the three literary scientists form the basis of literary comparative science, translatology and literary history as parts of Slovak studies in Poland.

Kategória citovosti a jej tematicko-motivický repertoár v debute Pavla Vilikovského

Author(s): Vladimíra Mravcová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2020

The goal of the paper is to trace motifs and themes found in Pavel Vilikovský´s debut book titled Citová výchova v marci (Sentimental Education in March, 1965) that relate to the category of sensibility. The introduction outlines literary historical conceptualizations of the self and sensibility: sentimentalism, Rousseauesque self, sentimental attitude to the world in the sense as formulated by F. Schiller, sentimental natural line (V. Svatoň). They represent the starting point of the interpretative part where they, as historically unlimited tendencies of literary production, are updated and modified under the influence of modernist poetics and worldview in the context of the 1960s. The subject of the interpretation is thus a reflective process of self-realization. It takes place on the level of body as a sensitive matter, by returning to the elementary, along with searching for authenticity of experience, which is gradually verified through the concept of Romantic illusion: the theme of human self-deception based on the predefined patterns contributes to disillusioned reassessment of sentimental education. The reflection of this shift is linked to modernist elimination of fake sentiment in sensibility (e.g. influence of the Hemingway style in the short story titled Tvoj prvý ston/Your First Moan). The given framework helps show the value hierarchy of emotions and the problem of the ethical conflict between freedom and responsibility for the others.

Opis a performancia ako základné modality reprezentácií v pamäťových naratívoch (na príklade textov Alty Vášovej)

Author(s): Zora Prušková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2021

The subject of the paper is to observe a coincidence between description and performance in autobiographic narratives. As an example, this phenomenon is traced in autobiographic writings by the Slovak prose writer Alta Vášová (1939), produced between the years 1995 and 2019. Her prose works Úlety/Flights of Fancy, Ostrovy nepamäti/Islands of Non-memory, Sfarbenia/Colorations, Menoslov/Name List, Dolety a Odlety/Ranges and Departures feature a strange type of memoir writing, which points to a certain general semiotic property of autobiographic memoir narration. From the semiotic, referential and stylistic points of view, this type of writing is part of latent discussion on the nature of creative work with a literary text at the level of basic stylistic and composition techniques of epic: description, narration and performative perspective of narrative representations. The paper is an attempt at presenting their mutual coincidence, inseparability and poetological scaling in Alta Vášová´s memoir writing. It also raises the question of performative and descriptive modality of recollecting (as a substitute of culture and history) in memoir writing.

Mravnosť ako atribút utvárania duchovnosti v tvorbe Jozefa Gregora Tajovského (na príklade poviedky „Hlucháň“, 1919)

Author(s): Lívia Barnišinová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2021

The paper analyzes presence of spirituality in a so-called legionary short story by Jozef Gregor Tajovský (1874 – 1940) “Hlucháň”/“The Muffled” from the collection of proses Na vojne (At War, 1919). The interpretation is based on the thoerem that Marcela Mikulová formulated about the main character as a modern-day saint and Ivica Hajdučeková´s thesis about the prayer as a „spiritualem“ reaching as far as the implicit level of the literary text and labelling the main character with the attribute „apostolizing“. Using „vertical“ characteristics, Tajovský depicted the central character of the short story as a spiritually strong person, for whom belief in God is an essential attribute of living, thinking and doing. As religiosity and spirituality were in harmony in his life, being religious became the fundamental categorical imperative. Dynamics of love and courage to spread the word of God shifted him from the periphery to the centre of the situation, which made him an example to follow. In line with this, he developed the attributes of the apostole prototype, who was due to his personal dialogue with God elevated to the character of „homo religiosus“. Tajovský used the contrastive principle of the high and low as an active ingredient, which affected the inner level of the text. The outcome was a paradox which became the writer´s tool for penetrating deeper into the inner worlds of the characters.

Poézia Andreja Sládkoviča v hudobnej tvorbe slovenských skladateľov

Author(s): Kristína Gotthardtová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2021

The poetry of Andrej Sládkovič (1820 – 1872) has become a strong source of inspiration for several Slovak musical composers. Their motivation, choice of poems and compositional approaches varied in time. In the 19th century, adaptations of Sládkovič’s shorter poems for a cappella choirs were popular (J. L. Bella, A. H. Krčméry, M. Francisci). The ideas of national emancipation formed the background for these. In the 20th century, greater variance in compositional approaches can be observed. However, these were based on a smaller number of the poems. The article analyses concretisations of various musical genres from the musical adaptation (of the long poem Marína) for an a cappella choir (Andrej Očenáš, 1957) and vocal-instrumental oratorio (Cyril a Metod – Constantine and Methodius, Tibor Andrašovan, 1987) through musical theatre and scenic music to multimedia composition. It takes a closer look at three adaptations of Detvan and describes the different authorial handlings of the poem. While Viliam Figuš-Bystrý’s opera (premiered 1928) illustrates the musical thinking of the late 19th century on a representative genre, the further two point to the use of progressive compositional techniques of the second half of the 20th century and represent utility music (Bartolomej Urbanec, 1963; Tadeáš Salva, 1975).

Ako sa (ne)dělá Stodola? (k inscenáciám dvoch hier Ivana Stodolu)

Author(s): Eva Kyselová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 02/2010

The dramatics of Ivan Stodola shaped and formed Slovak professional theatre. His texts provided one of the key dramaturgical bases in the process of formation of contemporary Slovak drama staging and he was actually the first to write plays systematically in the period of early professionalization of Slovak theatre. On the Czech stages, the situation was different. Humble staging tradition and not always successful interpretations indicate differences not only in dramaturgical issues but also in the issues of different tastes of spectators but, ultimately, significant differences between two independent theatre cultures. Two of Stodola’s plays were quite a success on the Czech stages; Tea at Mr. Senator’s and Jožko Púčik and his career. Both plays have attracted attention until recently –Tea at Mr. Senator was premiered at the Estates Theatre in Prague on 18th March 2010 (Czech premiere was at Švanda Theatre in Prague in 1934). Dramaturgical selection of this play was to bring the audience a lighter and witty comedy that would point to a parallel with the current state of the society and send the actual message before the upcoming elections. On the 15th April 2010, Slovak section of the Prague Theatre in Dlouhá Street performed a stage reading of the play Jožko Púčik and his career. The young director Brano Holiček (coincidentally great-grandnephew of Ivan Stodola) strongly adapted the text because he realized that the text itself without any major modification and interpretation would be just boring replay. The directorial and-dramaturgical input is essential;“ a satire on false humanism“ was staged as the theatre within the theatre. The author of this study analyzes both productions and notes that efforts that aimed to bring new life into the Stodola’s satire have remained unfulfilled.

A vajdasági tér és a szlovák irodalom

Author(s): Marína Šimáková Speváková / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2015

Vojvodinian motifs in minority literatures were considered on the one hand to be expressions of locality; on the other hand there are works which substantiate the reality of existence of Vojvodina and incorporate it into the universal semantic space. By combining the methodological approach of the Slovak and Brno school of comparatistics, we have the opportunity to asses from a wider perspective the importance of traditionalist and antitraditionalist texts, and in particular, literary works on the border zone of various genres. Space, which emerges in these works, does not denote only the framework of the existence of the literary artefact but also the fact of being a part of it.

Slovenská literatúra vo vydaniach Družstevnej práce

Author(s): Monika Kapráliková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 52/2020

The paper is devoted to the Slovak production of the Czech publishing house Družstevní práce (DP) and evaluates its importance in promoting the Slovak book and strengthening Czech-Slovak cooperation in the interwar period. Against the chronological background of published Slovak titles and on the basis of archival sources and period journalism, it presents its publishing strategies, its communication with authors and artists, and also the successes and problems DP encountered in purveying Slovak books. It outlines the beginnings of Slovak production and the later orientation towards the Slovak social novel and the collaboration with Ladislav Nádaši-Jégé, Milo Urban, Peter Jilemnický, Fraňo Kráľ, Zuzka Zguriška and Emil Boleslav Lukáč. It shows how thoroughly DP approached the publishing of Slovak publications, be it in terms of its cooperation with Slovak artists, its consistent preservation of the Slovak language, its selection of paper, or the printing and proofreading at the Bratislava printing house. At the same time, the paper maps how DP managed to promote Slovak books and authors abroad by means of its good contacts.

Leopold Mazáč – muž v pozadí

Author(s): Karol Csiba / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 52/2020

The paper focuses on selected journalistic texts, offering a demonstration of several period-specific ways of reflecting on and evaluating certain aspects of the publishing activities of Leopold Mazáč. It pays attention to an aspect of his collaboration with the editor and poet Ján Smrek and touches upon various reactions to the publication of the anthologies Zborník mladej slovenskej literatúry (An Anthology of Early Slovak Literature, 1924) and Slovenská prítomnosť literárna a umelecká (The Slovak Literary and Artistic Presence, 1931). The beginnings of the publication of the journal Elán are also mentioned. The paper is a reminder of an interwar personality who was openly involved in but also in the background of the post-revolutionary socio-cultural development in Slovakia.

Funkcia intratextuálnych a intertextuálnych väzieb v poetologickom systéme debutu Ivany Dobrakovovej Prvá smrť v rodine

Author(s): Marcel Forgáč / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 5/2021

The article analyses the function of intra- and intertextual references in Ivana Dobrakovová’s first book Prvá smrť v rodine (First death in the family, 2009), taking the principle of disintegration as the basic principle of Dobrakovová’s writing. As a result of author’s intratextual work, the texts transgress the genre of short story and foreground the monoperspectival narrative consciousness. This in turn leads to a pronounced relativisation of the position of the narrative category of character and to situationally constituted narrative forms as related to the “theme-problem” horizon of the work. Intertextual work, on the other hand, contaminates the monoperspectival narrative consciousness and in this way disqualifies it. The principle of disintegration leads to an accentuation of the presence of the implied author which in turn makes the text seem more autobiographical. The figure of the implied author (which can never be identified with the empirical writer) is aesthetically productive: although it is fully governed by the poetics of the text, it also allows the readers to evoke the empirical author. The poetics thus creates conditions for ambivalence – the analysed texts can be read both as fiction and as autobiography.

Romantická predstava o angažovaní sa žien v národnom hnutí a príklad Johany Lehockej

Author(s): Ľubica Schmarcová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 6/2021

Based on the analysis of two period newspaper articles published in 1846, the contribution provides a glimpse into the shaping of the position of women in society during Romanticism with a special accent on women’s involvement in the national movement. The Protestant priest Štefan Václav Homola (1820 – 1881) published an article addressing girls’ and women’s education in Slovak entitled Ústavy pre vychovávanie dievčat [Institutions for girls’ education]. His text triggered a response from Johana Miloslava Lehocká (1810 – 1849), a published poet and wife of a Protestant priest from Liptovský Trnovec. Period intellectuals aimed at “awakening” the women and elevating them from the low “matter” to the higher level of national “spirit,” but they were primarily concerned with the interests of the national movement, not with women’s education. J. Lehocká accentuated the necessity of educating women and the need for professional training of Slovak women teachers. In her article, Lehocká – in line with period understanding of the function of the woman in society – interpreted the role of women in the Romantic national project as a duty. At the same time, however, she described various limitations that impeded women from self-realization.
