AНДEРСEН HA РAЗМEЂИМA

Author(s): Ljubiša Rajić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2007

The complex personality of H. Ch. Andersen was a topic of numerous psychiatric and psychological discussions, even hasty conclusions about his texts on the basis of his life. Although he has successful other works, primarily travel-books, he is above all known as a writer of fairy-tales and short stories. Andersen drew his inspiration from various sources, most successfully transforming the models from oral literature, adapting them to the moral principles of his time, but without avoiding the tragic and the problem of evil. Although usually understood as a writer of fairy-tales for children, his texts were also intended for adults, and some of them could be essentially comprehended only by adults. In time, his work experienced various aspects of reception, translation, interpretation, elaboration and staging. Together with Kierkegaard, he became the most important older Danish writer, and the versions of his work have been already separated from him and have been treated as a public heritage similar to oral literature.

CBOJCTBA И ФУНКЦИЈE KOMEHTAPA У АНДЕРСЕНОВИМ ПРИЧАМА

Author(s): Snežana Šarančić Čutura / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2007

Comments of the author, narrator or a hero have a significant part in the stylization of Andersen’s narration. They are usually presented as remarks, explanations, sometimes as a proverbial or aphoristic roundup, and in their intonation they can be witty, ironic, with a satirical tone, but there are also those of the thoughtful philosophical tone. Their functionality is manifold: they influence dynamism, branching of the prose text, they appear as genre markers, in the function of the hero’s characterization, then as intrinsic ideas which could, but do not have to, support the basic intention of the story, thus significantly conditioning the total interpretation, as an aspect of non-tendentious education, as auto-poetic statements... In some cases, Andersen’s comments function as the formal, more independent units and then they are closer to an aphorism or a proverb, but they are mostly related to the context in which thy appear; still, in both aspects, they are specific „experiential conclusions” offered to the reader only as a possibility, as one possible attitude to the world, life and people.

ПОЧEТAК КAРИЈЕРЕ ХAРОЛДA ПИНТЕРA

Author(s): Jelica Tošić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2006

Harold Pinter got the Nobel Prize for literature in 2005. By this act, the world symbolically recognized his greatness. The beginning of his career, however, had not been easy. His first play The Birthday Party, staged first on 28th April 1958 in the Arts Theatre in Cambridge, was a failure. In London, it ran for a week only. The reason for that was the popularity of the so-called „well-made play”, the play with a good plot and middle-class characters which suited the taste and habits of the prevalent middle-class audience. Unlike the comfortable atmosphere that this kind of play provided, Pinter’s The Birthday Party was full of the Kafkaesque atmosphere of anxiety and threat, which could not appeal either to the same audience or the same critics. This paper shows the critics’ reactions to Pinter’s first play and their changed attitude some years later. From the unanimous rejection in the beginning, his plays came to be widely praised. The paper also shows Pinter’s attitudes to drama and theatre. They are important because plays are written to be performed and this is what makes playwriting different from other forms of creative writing.

ПРИПОВЕДНИ ПОСТУПЦИ У РОМАНИМА ЏОНA AПДAЈКA

Author(s): Biljana Dojčinović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2006

Теза дисертације Приповедни поступци у рома- нима Xona Апдајка je да су различите приповедне стратегије основа разноврсности романсијерског опуса овог америчког писца, као и да у њиховом разматрању треба применити комбинацију наратолошке и контекстуалне анализе. Досадашња критичка литература о Апдајковим романима много више је посвећена њиховој cадржини, те рад има циљ да, користећи и ранија читања, анализом поступка расветли неке од најзанимљивијих аспе- ката обраде материјала у овим романима.

ЖЕНСКИ ГЛAСОВИ У AМEРИЧКОЈ КЊИЖЕВНОСТИ

Author(s): Radojka M. Vukčević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2006

The paper problematizes the relationship between the author's personality and gender trying to find out if there are any specific reasons to ask for separate studying of female voices in the history of American literature. The historical approach is applied showing that there are many reasons for this as female voices in American literature have not been studied sufficiently enough so far thanks to ideological, historical, political and other circumstances. It is concluded that author's personality has nothing to do with gender whenever female voices succeed in resisting any recognition of gender and create masterpieces.

ГВИДО ТAРТAЉA И ИТAЛИЈAНСКA КЊИЖЕВНОСТ

Author(s): Željko R. Đurić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-2/2003

Gvido Tartalja was a writer, poet, translator, best known as an author of literary works for children. In the period between 1920 and 1930, he very actively observed trends in recent Italian literature, in a way relating his own literary career to them, too. Certainly, it should be mentioned that such interests also represented a part of his family tradition. He was one of those who in the post-war period, if not more comprehensively, then more promptly than others, did quite a lot in informing our literary public about the events and novelties in Italian literature. In addition to a significant number of various literary contributions, primarily translations and reviews, as well as to his original poetic work, we can also evaluate Gvido Tartalja’s attitude to Italian literature on the basis o f a certain amount of archive material which we were able to study by the courtesy of Mr. Ivo Tartalja. This research endeavour is dedicated to shedding light on these above-mentioned dimensions of Gvido Tartalja’s literary work.

HENRY LAWSON’S WOMANISH WAIL

Author(s): Tihana Klepač / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

The article describes the formulation of the Henry Lawson author function (Foucault) and its placement, through cultural discourse, at the centre of the Australian Myth as established by Kay Schaffer in her seminal study Women and the Bush. Building on this contention, Christopher Lee ascertains that public discourse in the past century has formulated Lawson as an object epitomising the values of this Myth. Through them, Lawson is positioned as the main empowering element of the local rubric, which demands the right of the local to articulate the local (Lee, 2004). Consequently, Lawson came to signify (white, colonial) Australia. Within this process of formulating his “author-function” Lawson’s stories were established as the paramount contribution to the construction of the Myth. However, since each piece of literature necessarily “gets away” from its author, points of divergence from the Myth in Lawson’s work are identified and described. It is our contention that Lawson’s greatness is revealed precisely in those points of departure from the Myth, which constitutes the most important aporia of Australian nationalism.

O twórczości humorystycznej na łamach prasy polsko-żydowskiej (rekonesans)

Author(s): Monika Szabłowska-Zaremba / Language(s): Polish Issue: 04/2017

The article looks at the presence of Jewish humour in Polish-language Jewish press in the years 1918-1939. The source materials were the following periodicals: Chwila, Dziennik Nowy, Dzienniczek dla Dzieci i Młodzieży, Ewa, Kurier Nowy, Lektura, Mały Przegląd, Nasz Przegląd, Nasza Opinia, Nowe Słowo, Nowy Dziennik, Nowy Głos, Okienko na Świat and Opinia. This selection includes both magazines addressed to grown-ups and to children because it was important to look at humour content targeted on various demographics. The analysis is divided by subjects (political or otherwise), and by forms of expression (e.g., jokes, anecdotes, cartoons). Special mention is due to translations of short pieces by Moshe Nadir (pen name of Yitzhok Rayz), Yosef Tunkler and Sholem Aleykhem. The last topic was a review of brief theoretical articles seeking to define Jewish humour (articles by Jakub Appenszlak, Jakub Rappaport or Gerszon Lewin).

MULTICULTURALISM, SPAȚIU FINAL ȘI POST ISTORIE. Reflecții asupra romanului Dinți Albi (Zadie Smith)

Author(s): Cristina IVAN / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 17/2014

The article offers some reflections upon the multiculturalist ideology in the British space, the identities created at the convergence between traditions and (micro)histories, and, especially, upon tendencies – which we are all whitnessing today – to create a new conceptual paradigm, beyond postmodernism, multiculturalism and post-history.The emerging aspects of the new paradigm are illustrated in a case study - the novel White Teeth by Zadie Smith – one of the most relevant literary productions at the dawns of the 21st century.

MAPEANDO AS VEREDAS DA MEMÓRIA: FICÇÃO AUTONARRATIVA E AUTOFICÇÃO NA LITERATURA BRASILEIRA

Author(s): Gabriel Borowski / Language(s): Portuguese Issue: 4/2017

The aim of this paper is to discuss two generic concepts based on the dialectics of approximation and distancing between the narrative subject and the empirical author. The first, autofiction, is a category already strongly present when it comes to theoretical reflection on the means of literary representation of the past, whereas the second, autonarrative fiction, is presented as a “project-term” which allows to acknowledge structural similarities between works written before the emergence of the autofictional paradigm. The point of arrival of this classificatory route is the novel Grande sertão: veredas by João Guimarães Rosa, which presents an implosive convergence of the two models.

Jadran između sna i jave

U znaku vjere u riječ: estetičke strategije Vladimira Nabokova u romanu U znaku nezakonito rođenih

Author(s): Vanja D. Vukićević Garić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 11/2014

This paper examines some of the fundamental assumptions of Vladimir Nabokov‘s poetics and aesthetics as articulated through his novel Bend Sinister, analysing particular narrative procedures that point towards his understanding of ontological relation between text and reality, as well as between the author, the narrator and the protagonist. Even though it can be recognised as a typical postmodernist work in many aspects, this novel also expresses a specific (anti)political statement of protest against all repressive systems which confine individual and creative freedom. Structured as the system ―Chinese boxes―, containing multiple narrative doublings and the recognisably Nabokovian game of mirrors, Bend Sinister foregrounds the question of authenticity of empirical reality, especially when that reality is historically absurd and psychologically brutal, interrogating it against the power of art to transform it and, by means of particular verbal devices, to surpass it. Comprising plenty of autobiographical material on the one hand, and a certain ―novel within the novel― on the other, Bend Sinister focuses on the complex relationship between the hero, Adam Krug, and his creator, underlining their similarity in understanding the art of literature. As this paper indicates, both of them experience writing as an existential activity necessary for survival and text as an ontologically powerful and recuperating form of reality. Aestheticization of empirical experience, which is the basis of Nabokov‘s as well as Krug‘s literary activity, has been explained in this work through doubling of the narrating instances, which occurs at many levels and on both sides of textual borders.

Prevođenje elemenata indijanske kulture u romanu Devojčica sa ostrva duhova Luiz Erdrič

Author(s): Jovana M. Petrović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 7/2017

Translators face a difficult challenge when it comes to translating literary works that can be viewed as translations. Multicultural literature is such in its nature – it includes literary texts that originate from two different cultures and are written in two different languages simultaneously. Writers of multicultural literature are either immigrants or indigenous people that have been colonized, and are considered to be ethnic minorities in the dominant society. These writers usually write in the dominant language, but also include words, phrases and entire sentences in their mother tongues for the purpose of portraying a unique cultural heritage. These encoded messages represent a challenge for the readers, but also for translators who don't speak the language but somehow have to translate the cultural nuances into the target languages. These issues permeate Native American literary productions. Louise Erdrich in The Birchbark House, written in English, portrays the culture, customs and beliefs of her people, the Ojibwe, by using words and phrases from the Ojibwe language. This paper analyzes the translation of The Birchbark House into Serbian by Aleksandra Grubor. The paper focuses specifically on the strategies the translator uses to translate the words and phrases from the Ojibwe language into Serbian, but also the strategies she uses to translate the words and phrases given in English that are culturally marked by the Ojibwe heritage.

Majāz ῾aqlī “intellectual trope” and the description of wine in a poem by abū dhu᾿ayb al-hudhalī

Author(s): Ali Ahmad Hussein / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

An important rhetorical figure has been called the majāz ῾aqlī (lit. “intellectual trope”) by some classical rhetoricians, mainly by ῾Abd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī (d. 471/1078). Despite its importance, which will be clarified below, the intellectual trope has been ignored in modern research in comparison to other rhetorical figures such as the metaphor and simile which are frequently in the spotlight. In this paper, I will analyse the notion of the majāz ῾aqlī as used by ῾Abd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī who was the first rhetorician to deal with this figure of speech in detail; then I will discuss its semantic aspects in classical Arabic poetry as manifested in an episode on wine composed by Abū Dhu᾿ayb al- Hudhalī (d. 28/649).
