„Птици пеят" или за един лирически модел в българската поезия от края на 50-те и през 60-те г. на XX век

Author(s): Gergina Krasteva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The present paper studies the way in which in the late 50 's and 60 's of the 20th century in Bulgarian poetry constructs a model of "verse-spring bird-poet". The operation of this model in Bulgarian poetry is analysed by different interpretations. As a result, we arrive at the conclusion that the one part of the creators appears to be directly involved in the formation and establishment of the official canon in fiction, and another remains in the marginal field of the formal literary space.

Ever since mythical days identity has been designed through the “Other one” prism, and consequently, these Dorovski couple verses, show the phenomena of their personal identity as well as the possibility of its double poetic consideration both in their own language, and in the language of the „Other one”. Hence the 17 poems of Dagmar Dorovska and the 16 poems of Ivan Dorovski have both a Czech and a Macedonian version, and thus become available / readable for both the Macedonian and the Czech reader. The 33 poems from “The town, the Water, the People” represent a poetic picture of their deepest insights, confessions never told to their very end, confessions wanted to be uttered but not, sometimes simply because it was not the right time, pictures that draw a possible first person plural selfportrait, creating a hyperbolic „WE” through the strong power of the dichotomy nature – culture.

"Niezwykły klejnot wiary", czyli o duchowej bliskości pietyzmu i oświecenia. Na przykładzie poezji religijnej Hansa Adolpha Brorsona (1694–1764)

Author(s): Krystyna Szelągowska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This paper tries to present Pietism as a current and set of ideas linked to the Enlightenment, as a culture focused on individualism and “subjectification”, as well as on the need to dismantle the old authorities and hierarchies.

Имена собственные в поэтических переводах Виктора Ворошильского

Author(s): Anna Bednarczyk / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The aim of this research is to expose Wiktor Voroshilsky’s translation strategy, especially the translation methods and techniques he uses as the author of the Polish versions of Russian poems. Theorists of translation quite often pay attention to the problem of translation of proper names, exploring different contexts related to this issue. Bazyli Tichoniuk wrote about the translation of names within Polish and Russian at the time, while for other languages we can mention works by Ewa Teodorowicz-Hellman, Anna Szcześniak, Elżbieta Skibińska, Anna Majkiewicz, and Krzysztof Hejwowski. This article attempts to indicate a specific translator’s approach to translating proper names. The material under study consists of 25 poems selected from 211 works translated by Voroshilsky. The main selection criterion was the saturation of the poem with elements of interest to the authors, as well as their diversity. This determined the research method, which focused on analysing the repeatability and variety of translation techniques. Finally, we concluded that Voroshilsky employed different methods of translation, often guided by the function performed by the proper names in the text. We also paid attention to his objective to bring the text closer to the target audience and on the creativity of the translator.

NOMEN EST OMEN: FUNKCIJE VLASTITIH IMENA I TOPONIMA U SARAJLIĆEVOJ POEZIJI

Author(s): Marina Katnić-Bakaršić / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Iako se može reći da nema sustavnog istraživanja Sarajlićevog stila, književni kritičari uočili su karakteristične stilske postupke u poeziji ovoga pjesnika (npr. Martinović 1984/85, Vučković 1998). U opće stilske odrednice tako spadaju specifična ritmičnost i melodičnost stiha, uvjetovana različitim postupcima poetske sintakse, zatim elegičnost, sentimentalnost, odnosno pojačana emotivnost; ovome se može dodati i svojevrsna retoričnost, te narativnost koja, paradoksalno, ne dokida liričnost stihova. Svakako ne treba zaboraviti ni duhovitost, ponekad i aforističnost, te sklonost ka završetku pjesme u nagloj i snažnoj poanti. Na planu stilskih figura frekventne su figure ponavljanja – anafora, anadiploza, te općenito paralelizmi, što sve dolazi u funkciji stvaranja prepoznatljive ritmičke strukture, ali ima i mnemoničku funkciju, jer je poznato Sarajlićevo uvjerenje kako poezija treba biti zapamtljiva.

SARAJLIĆ I ISTORIJA

Author(s): Marko Vešović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Malo je bilo pjesnika, na našem jeziku, koji su toliko predano i strasno branili dostojanstvo života kao dobra po sebi i za sebe, unatoč svekolikim prljavštinama i užasima kojima savremeni svijet kuša da to dostojanstvo sroza, a taj život da obezvrijedi. Sarajlić je dosljedno odbijao da prihvati stvar koja je u književnosti dvadesetog vijeka gotovo bila obavezna: gotovo svako ko život nije smatrao besmislenim, žalosnim i nedostojnim življenja rizikovao je da ga ne uzmu posve ozbiljno kao pisca. Pogotovo su takvi bili oni koji, kako Sarajlić reče, “u dvadesetoj, kad počnu da pišu svoje antipjesme i antidrame, ni jedan neće propustiti da pljune po životu”. Tom “pljuvanju po životu”, koje je nerijetko išlo podruku sa punom finansijskom obezbijeđenošću, suprotstavljao se, na brojne i različite načine, takoreći svaki stih Sarajlićev.

Metafikční strategie nedůvěry polské básnické generace 68 ve vybraných filmech krzysztofa kieślowského

Author(s): Michael Alexa / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The article summarizes the current research state of the key filiation of the Polish poetry Generation 68 and early films by Krzysztof Kieślowski, which is defining against “the undepicted world” (Julian Kornhauser a Adam Zagajewski) or “the fight against fake representation of language” (Slavoj Žižek), as described by Marek Haltof, a film scientist, in his work. In this respect, Haltof’s monograph draws on the literary-critical collection called “Świat nie przedstawiony” (1974) by Kornhauser and Zagajewski which is recognized as a program manifesto for Generation 68. He sees the filiation with Kieślowski’s films as various manifestations of one cultural tendency in 1968–1975 and thus he is limited to early documentary films. The aim of the paper is to broaden Haltof’s concept by the conclusions of the second key work characterizing Generation 68, which is the study by Stanisław Barańczak called “Nieufni i zadufani” (1971) and describe the metafictional strategy of the distrust of language as a significant feature of Kieślowski’s film work in all its periods as well as genres, that is both documentary and fiction films from 1968 to 1994.

Одеският литературен кръг от 40-те години на ХІХ век и след това (Д. Чинтулов, В. Друмев, Св. Миларов)

Author(s): Nikolay Aretov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

A group of Bulgarian high-school students in Odessa (Nayden Gerov, Dobri Chintulov, et al.) made their first steps in literature and thus initiated the new Bulgarian poetry in the 1840s. Other men of letter studied here in the following decades; this town had a specific presence in Vasil Drumev’s novel Student and Benefactors; from here Svetoslav Milarov send long articles to the newspaper Pravo (Law) in Istanbul. Later, during the government of Stefan Stambolov, a new emigrant group was formed for a short period in this town on the shore of the Black Sea; Ivan Vazov participated in it, and here he started writing his famous novel Under the Yoke. This paper draws attention to the way how Bulgarians in Odesa saw this town, to what extent they were interested in Ukrainian culture, and how this interest developed over time.

Author(s): Elena Getova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper charters in detail and provides numerous examples regarding the development of several thematic fields that are usually deemed peripheral to the poetry of the Bulgarian 19th century. One of them is connected to conceptions of time, era, and chronological period. Since Revival period poets often focalise their own currency, this analysis pays particular attention to the poetic transformations in revealing their awareness of the present moment and its thematic variations.

„Wśród kominów Łodzi” Marii Przedborskiej – wiersze społecznie zaangażowane

Author(s): Krystyna Pietrych / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article recalls Maria Przedborska, a unique figure for the Łódź intelligentsia and workers in the interwar period. First, her professional and social activity, resulting from her role as a labor inspector in factories in Łódź, was presented, and then her journalistic and poetic works were presented. Through both her professional and journalistic activities, the Przedborska inspector tried to change existing social relations, thus fighting to improve the fate of Łódź workers. Przedborska, the poet, set herself the same task in the cycle of poems Among the chimneys of Łódź, published in "Głos Poranny" in the years 1932–1936. The poems that make up this cycle, drawing direct inspiration from the observations that Przedborska made during her inspector's activity, provide numerous testimonies of the life and work of women workers in Łódź textile factories. They show the most destructive aspects of the functioning of large-scale factories during the Great Depression of the 1930s: excessive work, accidents with machines, layoffs, unemployment, diseases, hunger, poverty, prostitution. In her poetry, Przedborska shows a large-industrial city undergoing radical political and social changes, which are the result of accelerated industrialization, which were not accompanied by extensive modernization changes. Przedborska's works do not only have a documentary function, they are equally important in showing solidarity with the workers, appealing to a sense of social sensitivity and defending those who were most affected by the negative aspects of the modernization processes.

The New Oral Tradition: Spoken Word Poetry as a Platform for Civic Engagement in the Digital Era

Author(s): Grace Yoon / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

With the advent of social media and the digital landscape, mainstream activism is a distinguishing feature of young Americans today, referred to as millennials and Generation Z, i.e., those born between 1980 and 2012. However, this perspective overlooks the depth and authenticity of social involvement among these younger individuals, particularly through their embrace of literature and art—particularly spoken word poetry. Spoken word, rooted in oral tradition and championed by previous generations for its social impact, is finding renewed vigor among youth as a genuine means of articulating their societal concerns. This paper will examine the usage of spoken word poetry by contemporary Americans as a means of civic and political engagement. This exploration is contextualized through a modern lens, where digital platforms are amplifying voices traditionally marginalized in mainstream narratives, allowing spoken word poetry to evolve beyond its historical confines into a dynamic form of expression. This study extends the discussion to contemporary poets such as Amanda Gorman, Danez Smith, and Donald Glover who have harnessed the art form to address society’s most pressing issues. This analysis underscores the genre's burgeoning role within popular culture, evidenced by its integration into the music and public personas of artists who have traditionally not been associated with spoken word, thereby marking its reentry into the popular consciousness. At its core, the revival of spoken word among the youth, fueled by social media and digital platforms, represents a recent renovation to an old art form at different levels of pop culture. It is a testament to the enduring power of the spoken word to inspire, challenge, and mobilize. By embracing this tradition, today's generation is not merely participating in an act of revival but is actively redefining civic engagement and artistic expression.
