O przekładzie tytułu (na przykładzie prozy słoweńskiej)

Author(s): Monika Gawlak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

The article concerns the issue of the interpreter’s freedom concerning the translations of the titles of prose works. The matter seems important not only because of the necessity of reserving the title’s essential functions (identification, information, pragmatic), and not only because of the need of the complex analysis of the original title — its working relationship, but also because of the ‘ambassadorial’ role of — this title in the secondary cultural space.

Susret stare priče i nove kulture: hrvatski prijevodi Martina Krpana

Author(s): Darja Mazi-Leskovar / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2017

This article explores four Croatian translations of the Slovenian historical tale Martin Krpan z Vrha (1858) by Fran Levstik. It focuses on personal and geographical names, and analyses selected aspects of paratextuality in order to determine some of the specific features of the target texts and to uncover the possible reason for the relatively high number of retranslations published between 1949 and 1986. In the first section, literary translation is presented in the light of cultural textualisation, intertextuality and translation strategies. In the second section, a comparative-contrastive analysis is applied to the obtained data and the explored aspects of the target texts. The study also shows that the translations reveal the complexity of this picturebook that can address a double readership and the fluctuating gap between the source and target cultures.

Prešernovi soneti in pesniška samorefleksija

Author(s): Marko Juvan / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 1-4/2000

France Prešeren made the sonnet fashionable in Slovenian literature as a representative poetic form and at the same time he revived it as a storehouse of cultural functions the influence of which could be felt up to postmodernism. Prešeren armed with the aesthetic postulate of the Schlegel brothers considered the sonnet a poetical form capable of cultivating the Slovenian poetical language and in this way raising it to the canons of classical and modern literature. In the time of Romanticism poetics belonged to the fundamental values and therefore became an integral part in discussions concerning the questions of poetic creation. Prešeren wrote a lot of poems whose main topic is self-reflexion, eg. his sonnets with the most important one in them: The Wreath of Sonnets. Prešeren in these sonnets grouped the contexts, goals, structures and situations pointing out their critical reception, highlighting his own modern Petrarcism. He gave reasons for his choice of style, topic and language, showed the difference between pragmatic and poetic manifestation, revealed the common roots of his personal life and his poems (making a clearcut difference between the biographical and poetical ego) mythicized his own poetic and national mission. Finally we outline the developing stages of Prešeren’s autoreflexive sonnets connected with him in an intertextual way in the time of modernism and postmodernism.

Poetic Self-Reflection in the Poetry of Milan Jesih

Author(s): Mateja Eniko / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

Poetic self-reflection or metapoetry comprises autothematic reflections on poetry and the poet as a creator. It plays an important role in understanding the personal poetics and the role of poetic discourse in the broader social discourse. Through metapoetic reflections poets themselves give meaning to poetic creation, they self-substantiate their place in the literary system and self-induct poetry as a specific social system in a wider context. But metapoetry is not merely a discussion of everything related to poetic creation; as a formal aesthetic category it may also have an aesthetic effect of disillusion. In the opus of Milan Jesih the metamorphosis of autothematic images reveal the poet's personal views and compliance with the coexisting spiritual and literary directions. Poetic self-reflection thematizes guidelines of modernist poetics, and it forms a postmodern consciousness by questioning the relationship between the reality and fiction in the second part of Jesih’s creative path.

Heterotopija i istina književnosti u romanu „Jugoslavija moja dežela” Gorana Vojnovića

Author(s): Rok Bozovičar / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 14/2016

This article aims to question the relation between literature, space and its (potential) truth. Through the analysis of theory of fiction (Pavel, Doležel, Blanchot), its social, material effect, and especially through foucauldian perspective of literature as heterotopia, the article tries to conceptualise and to posit a place of literature in a wider social space. For this reason the main question is not how literary space is created, but instead where is the place of literature as heterotopia, and how Goran Vojnović’s novel Jugoslavija moja dežela is placed in social space. The importance of place of literature in a wider social sphere lies in its in-betweeness: it is at the same time a part of social reality and running from it – the other space (heterotopia). Therefore, the literary discourse should be understood as a material force that can create a potential space for the other (or other space), which in reality does not have its place or is marginalised, even suppressed. From this perspective we conclude that this is literature’s institutional role and its truth.

Drama. Savremena slovenska drama između intime i društvene kritike (priredila: Mateja Pezdirc Bartol)

Author(s): Mateja Pezdirc Bartol / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1-2/2019

Savremena slovenska drama nije zaokružena i jedinstvena pojava sa očiglednim karakteristikama, već splet različitih tematskih, motivskih i idejnih elemenata, jezičkih varijanti, žanrovskih modela i dramaturških istraživanja, zato možemo u nastavku njene elemente označiti samo u obrisima, koji ne mogu sadržati sve varijante njenih poetika. Najprije, pak, pogledajmo ko su dramatičari i dramatičarke koji stvaraju u vremenu od osamostaljenja Slovenije 1991. pa do danas, te kakav je njihov društveni status i položaj unutar slovenskih pozorišta.

IVAN KUKULJEVIĆ SAKCINSKI U SLOVENSKOJ PRIJEVODNOJ KNJIŽEVNOJ KULTURI SREDINOM 19. STOLJEĆA: JURAN I SOFIJA ILI TURCI KOD SISKA I OBLIKOVANJE SLOVENSKOGA NACIONALNOG IDENTITETA

Author(s): Urška Perenič / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1-2/2019

In 1850, Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski’s Illyrian-Croatian plays Juran i Sofija ili Turci kod Siska (Juran and Sofija, or the Turks at Sisak, 1839) and Stjepko Šubić ili Bela IV. u Horvatskoj (Štepan Šubic, or Bela IV in Croatia, 1841) were published in Slovene translation in the book Dve igri za slovensko glediše (Two Plays for the Slovene Theatre). First, the paper considers the plays in a wider context of contemporary Slovene-language drama of the same period, and then in a somewhat narrower context of dramatic works in the Slovene language in (South) Slavic literature, wherein the discussion takes into account the position of these two plays in the developing system of genres of translated drama, since these two works occupy a distinctive place because they representing model heroic plays. Special emphasis is placed on the first play, which is not only Kukuljević’s most well-known work, but was, generally speaking, better received in the Slovene context. This can be explained in a number of ways: 1) due to to specific socio-political conditions (the translation into Slovene is from the period of Bach’s s absolutism marked by increased German pressure on the Slovene and Croatian territory); 2) due to obvious social relevance of the Turkish topic (in the Battle at Sisak the Slovenes and Croatians behave heroically, independently and cooperatively); and 3) due to the play’s specific features, in particular its dramatic personae, setting, and Slavic character (in the play, Toma Erdödy, Juran and Andrej Turjaški act in accordance with Slavic reciprocity, and the setting of the play is Slavic). These features, in turn, enabled identification with the characters and promoted national emancipation. The genre of the heroic play filled the gap in the Slovene literature, which Fran Levstik anticipated in his 1858 Slovene literary programme, which is also the first Slovene programme of this type.

Predicting Slovene Text Complexity Using Readability Measures

Author(s): Tadej Škvorc,Simon Krek,Senja Pollak,Špela Arhar Holdt,Marko Robnik-Šikonja / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The majority of existing readability measures are designed for English texts. We aim to adapt and test the readability measures on Slovene. We test ten well-known readability formulas and eight additional readability criteria on five types of texts: children’s magazines, general magazines, daily newspapers, technical magazines, and transcriptions of national assembly sessions. As these groups of texts target different audiences, we assume that the differences in writing styles should be reflected in their readability scores. Our analysis shows which readability measures perform well on this task and which fail to distinguish between the groups.

Књижевно-дарвинистичко поређење Антигоне Доминика Смолеа и Касандре Бориса А. Новака

Author(s): Igor Žunkovič / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 170/2020

Antigone by Dominik Smole is a literary text which gave rise to a question of the possibility of reconciliation in Slovenia. I understand reconciliation as the process of easing the social tension, the main consequence of which is the re-establishment of connections within a community or between individuals. The same question arises in relation to Cassandra by Boris A. Novak, although his play focuses on a different, personal aspect of reconciliation. Literary Darwinism and neurocognitive literary studies open up a theoretical possibility to understand individual and collective confrontation with difficulties in establishing and maintaining interpersonal relations, social cohesion, and the role of an individual in a community. It is on these theoretical foundations that I set up a literary Darwinian model of analysis for both plays, which I employ analyzing the bases of both heroines’ actions. On the other hand, by applying the proposed analytical model, we can better understand which cognitive mechanisms are at the bottom of the similarities between Antigone and Cassandra and why there are indelible differences and tensions between them.

KVANTITATIVNA ZNANOST O KNJIŽEVNOSTI I INTERPRETACIJA

Author(s): Miran Hladnik / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 3-4/2020

The analysis of the author’s own past research has shown that digital tools do not have a significant role in contributing to new interpretations of the Slovene literary canon. However, when shifting the subject of interpretation from a single work to authorial opera, genre corpora, literary period or the entire national literature, it becomes clear how quantitative methods, stimulated by digitalisation of the cultural past, literary databases and digital tools play a vital role. Interpretations that consider the richness of data, generated by digital culture, are more trustworthy than the former ones. The price we pay for that is the refusal of clear encyclopaedic definitions and descriptions. Literary past, observed through the digital humanities’ perspective has a fuzzy development because the central phaenomena gradually fade in the multitude of rival or peripheral phenomena. Slovene literature is not represented by prominent authors and their famous works any more, it does not comply with dictation of the great national myth, i.e., the construction of the nation from the spirit of literature. Rather, it is considered as a random fact, a matter of serendipity. It is represented as the entire literary production on the Slovene territory, in Slovene as well as other languages. Due to special circumstances, it is different from the neighbouring literatures and it triggers new, nation-specific definitions of literary phenomena. New interpretations of Slovene literature are not only indebted to the use of digital tools, but also to the consequence of changes within the literary system itself. In its beginnings, Slovene literature was dedicated to the constitution and emancipation of the nation, while now it also legitimately fulfils other human needs and functions: cultural recreation, women and social minorities’ emancipation and mobilisation, escapism, self-reflection, self-therapy, testing of the alternative models of social behaviour, etc.

LJUBAV, GRAD I RAT. ANALIZA MIKROSTRUKTURE (CLOSE READING) NA PRIMJERU RATNIH ROMANA DRAGE JANČARA

Author(s): Peter Scherber / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 3-4/2020

The paper focuses on the micro-structural analysis, i.e., close-reading, of the selected literary texts. Close-reading is the opposite of distant reading that generally connotes analysis of a much larger corpus. Close-reading is an acceptable strategy for textual interpretation. This strategy includes, at first glance, some banal issues, such as the relationship between historically documented events and their literary (fictional) presentations, spatial data (in this case Maribor and its topography), and temporal data (linear or recursive). Furthermore, this procedure enables identification of a given genre, for example a cycle or some kind of a supra-text (in this case a novelistic trilogy). The analysis will show how the fundamental paradox embedded in Maribor, its Slovene-German past, is reflected in Jančar’s novels. Special emphasis is placed on processes, motifs, images, characters, events and even micro-texts present in Jančar’s short prose that later reappear in his novels in a new context. Jančar’s text that are studied are Severni sij (Northern Lights, 1984), To noč sem jo videl (I Saw Her That Night, 2010) and In ljubezen tudi (And Love Itself, 2017).
