“A HUMAN IS AN ANIMAL AND AN ANIMAL IS A HUMAN”: TRANSFORMATION FROM HUMAN TO ANIMAL IN SLOVENIAN BALLAD TRADITION

Author(s): Marjetka Golež Kaučić / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The most famous authors on topic of transformation from human to animal in the tradition of European literature were Publius Ovidius Naso (Metamorphoses) and Franz Kafka (Metamorphoses), both of whom conceptualized the parallel worlds of reality and mythology. In the Slovenian ballad tradition we can trace several mythological ballads with thematic transformations from human to animal and back, as well of animal brides and grooms. This paper focuses on the question of the parallel worlds of animal and human and about the fluid boundaries between them as represented in ballad stories. By analyzing a number of ballads and incorporating theoretical perspectives from folkloristics, psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology, critical animal studies and zoofolkloristics, I will uncover the purpose of mythological transformations and their imagery. The underlying question is whether these mythological stories represent a notional duality of human versus animal and nature versus culture, or to what degree the stories may transcend this conceptual juxtaposition.

Čefuři v soudobé slovinské literatuře: Fužinski bluz a Čefurji raus!

Author(s): Iveta Bůžková / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The coexistence of the majority Slovenian population and the immigrants from the southern states of the former Yugoslavia, who are derogatorily called chefurs (čefurji) in Slovenian, has long been a topic of discussion and, as such, has found its way into literature. The paper compares two major novels that revolve around this theme, Fužine Blues by Andrej Skubic and Southern Scum Go Home! by Goran Vojnović, and the differences and similarities in the way they approach this sensitive topic. In the introduction, the paper discusses theizbrisani, or the “erased”, which is a group of people heavily involved in the tensions between native Slovenians and chefurs. The main section of the paper presents and analyses the stereotypes around the chefurs and the Fužine housing estate in Ljubljana known for its strong presence of the chefur minority. The final part of the paper examines the unique language used in both novels.

The Experience of Exile And Home in Connection with the Self-Understanding of the Poet in the Poetry by Tomaž Šalamun

Author(s): Mateja Eniko / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

For the poetic creation of Tomaž Šalamun, one of the most important Slovenian modernist poets, the experience of staying abroad was crucial. This was his voluntary and conscious decision. Referring to Said, it was his choice to give force to his creativity. Šalamun’s necessity to go out of home borders is closely connected with his understanding of the role of the poet. In his poetry, exile is represented as experience that allows him to establish himself as a poet, gives him the power to create and to step out of the conventional frameworks. The motif of living abroad is presented in a tense relation to home (both in terms of intimacy and socio-political space). Starting from Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, the poet’s self-understanding of himself and his home is closely linked to the relationship with the other.

Koncept střední Evropy ve slovinské esejistice: příklad Draga Jančara

Author(s): Iveta Bůžková / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The idea of Central Europe is a phenomenon emerging across different social scientific fields. The discussions about Central Europe (re-)emerged in the 1980s when a number of Central European writers, including Slovenian, began to deal with this idea under the influence of Milan Kunderaʼs famous essay. Among the Slovenian writers and journalists, the issue of Central Europe was discussed mainly by Drago Jančar who belonged to the authors supporting the idea of a common cultural area of Central Europe. The paper analyses Jančarʼs essay work in the context of other selected Central European authors such as Milan Kundera, Adam Michnik, Győrgy Konrád or Danilo Kiš. While at the very beginning, Jančar (like other authors) is in favour of the Central European idea, with hindsight he perceives the debates and visions of Central Europe with a certain reserve and prevailing scepticism can be seen in his texts.

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish,Slovenian

The volume addresses important issues of Polish-Slovenian intercultural dialogue and its multifaceted nature. It has been divided into five parts, each dealing with a different type of relationship and often deepening and supplementing previous reflection on the subject. Some texts, moreover, uncover areas of Polish-Slovenian dialogue that are still completely unknown. The first part deals with direct Polish-Slovenian contacts, experiences that constitute a biographical feature and are related to various types of wanderings. The authors of the texts collected in the second part present intertextual relations in the sphere of themes and literary structures between Polish and Slovenian writers. In the next part, the authors' attention is focused on literary translations, which are an important manifestation of Polish-Slovenian and Slovenian-Polish intercultural dialogue and are an expression of the need to bring the two cultures closer together and to translate them through the medium of literature. The intercultural dialogue at the level of linguistic structures, content and expression, is described in the articles collected in the next part of the volume. The last part is devoted to the sphere of education, promotion of the language and culture of both countries, cooperation in the field of higher education or selected aspects of language policy in higher education in Poland and Slovenia. The volume Polish-Slovenian Intercultural Dialogue is the outcome of the first exclusively Slovenian academic conference in Poland and in the world devoted to cultural contacts between Poland and Slovenia.
