No full textCULTURAL MEMORY IN VELIKA SKITIJA BY MIODRAG PAVLOVIĆ
No full textThis paper analyses Velika skitija (1969), the collection of poems by Miodrag Pavlović, using the theory of cultural memory of Jan Assmann (2007), an egyptologist, cultural theorist and religious scholar. Velika skitija covers a number of topics important for the establishment of a culture of memory: the relationship between the individual and the collective, speech and writing, history and myth, history and memory, the transition of memory into history and vice versa, as well as the poetic link between poetry and ritual. Of particular importance for the analysis is the relationship of Velika skitija with the Middle Ages, as analyzed by Marko Radulović (2017; 2020). Starting from these features, which have been observed in the literature related to Pavlović’s work –especially the chosen collection of poems – the collection is illuminated in the context of the culture of memory. The ultimate goal of this analysis is to contribute to the understanding of the ways of addressing the metaphysical void and the role of memory in the constitution of the poet’s voice and the entire collection of poems. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the individual and history, which is considered using the categories of communicative and cultural memory. The analysis showed that within the collection some features of the culture of memory are thematized, while it is fully realized in the process of reception. This paradigm helped us to encompass the simultaneous constructivist passage through history and the search for the transcendence of Velika skitija in a comprehensive and mildly deconstructivist manner.Овај рад анализира Велику скитију (1969), збирку песама Миодрага Павловића, помоћу теорије културног сећања Јана Асмана (Jan Assmann 2007), египтолога, теоретичара културе и проучаваоца религије. У овој збирци сустиче се низ карактеристика битних за успостављање културе сећања: однос индивидуе и колектива, говора и писма, историје и мита, историје и сећања, прелазак сећања у историју (и обратно), као и поетичка спона песништва и обреда. За анализу је нарочито битан однос Велике скитије са средњовековљем, како га је анализирао Марко Радуловић (2017, 2020). Ова перспектива омогућава да се на још један начин сагледа како збирка адресира метафизичку празнину и да се сагледа улога сећања у конституисању лирских субјеката. Нарочита пажња посвећена је односу индивидуе и историје, размотреном помоћу категорија комуникативног и културног сећања. Полазећи од одлика које су у литератури уочене поводом Павловићевог стваралаштва – и нарочито Велике скитије – анализа је показала да се унутар збирке тематизују неке одлике културе сећања, а да се она у пуном облику остварује у процесу рецепције. Ова парадигма помогла је да обухватимо истовремени конструктивистички прилаз историји и потрагу за трансцендентношћу Велике скитије на целовит начин
THE CULTIC AND HYMNOGRAPHIC FIGURE OF SAINT SIMEON IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSLATED SLAVIC LITERATURE
No full textFocusing on the conceptual elements of the first Serbian national cult that are general and shared with culturally related civilizations, this paper aims to examine the contribution of the common heritage to its genesis, offering an overview of the most significant connections and outlining a direction for their future interpretation. The first section will be dedicated to general considerations regarding the relationship between 13th-century Serbian hymnography and translated, particularly biblical, literature. The following part will explore the connections between the cult of Saint Simeon and the cults of saints who are ideologically and thematically close to him. The central chapter will discuss the relationship between Saint Simeon and Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki within the broader context of the Slavic reception of the cult of this Byzantine saint. The concluding section of the paper will offer a comparative analysis of Saint Sava’s Service to Saint Simeon in light of the Service to Saint Simeon Stylites, drawing on earlier scholarship. The goal of the study is to shed light on the cult of Saint Simeon within a broader cultural framework beyond the Serbian context, which is especially important in affirming the participation of Serbian culture and literature in the shared spiritual life of the Orthodox oikoumene – thereby suggesting that the value of its original contributions is indeed universal.Усредсређујући се на оно што је у идејном садржају првог српског националног култа опште и заједничко с цивилизацијски блиским културама, сагледаћемо удео заједничког наслеђа у његовој генези, с циљем да дамо преглед најзначајнијих веза и оцртамо правац њиховог будућег тумачења. Стога ће први одељак излагања бити посвећен неколиким општим раматрањима односа српске химнографије XIII века према преводној, нарочито библијској књижевности. Затим ћемо сагледати везе између култа Светог Симеона и светих који су му, према идејним садржинама и поукама култова, блиски. У средишњем поглављу реч ће бити о везама између Светог Симеона и Димитрија Солунског у контексту шире словенске рецепције култа византијског свеца. У закључном поглављу рада ћемо, с ослонцем на претходна истраживања, компаративно сагледати Савину Службу Светом Симеону у светлу Службе Светом Симеону Столпнику. Циљ рада је да осветли Симеонов култ у културном контексту ширем од српског, што је нарочито значајно са становишта потврде учешћа српске културе и књижевности у заједничком духовном животу православне васељене – што имплицира и да је вредност њених оригиналних доприноса универзална
BARVE V SLOVENSKI IN HRVAŠKI FRAZEOLOGIJI
No full textThe paper investigates phraseological units in the field of chromatic colours in Slovenian and Croatian. The analysis includes Slovenian and Croatian phrasemes and proverbs containing one of the five chromatic colours that can be traced as components of phraseological units in both languages, namely red, blue, green, yellow and pink. On the basis of the affinities and historical contacts between the two languages, we have assumed that the phraseological units and the meanings with which these colours appear in them are mostly similar in the two languages.Prispevek raziskuje frazeološke enote s področja kromatičnih barv v slovenskem in hrvaškem jeziku. V analizo smo vključili slovenske in hrvaške frazeme in pregovore, ki vsebujejo eno od petih kromatičnih barv, ki jih lahko zasledimo kot sestavino frazeoloških enot v obeh jezikih, in sicer so to rdeča, modra, zelena, rumena in rožnata. Na podlagi sorodnosti in zgodovinskih stikov med jezikoma smo predpostavili, da so frazeološke enote ter pomeni, s katerimi se omenjene barve v njih pojavljajo, v obeh jezikih večinoma podobni.
 
LEGAL OR PROCEDURAL “GAME” BETWEEN THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EU (CJEU) AND THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS (ECTHR) IN THE PROTECTION OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS?
Get PDFIn its practice so far, the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) has two keysources of inspiration regarding the protection of fundamental rights: the firstsource is the constitutional traditions of the EU Member States, while the secondone is the international agreements that protect human rights and freedoms, signedby the Member States of the Union. Although it is a question of two intertwinedand interdependent sources, the CJEU still very often considers them separately ona case-by-case basis. In the legal argumentation, it is a fact that the EU MemberStates remain obliged to respect not only EU law, but also the UN human rightsconventions, to take care of the application of the law of the Council of Europe, andin certain cases, the international customary law. There are strong arguments insupport of this position in EU law as well. Therefore, the position of the EU isrepresented as a key factor in the respect of human rights and freedoms that directlyderive from the UN Charter and from other UN conventions for the protection ofhuman rights. In order to protect human rights from parallel multifacetedness thatcan lead to negative implications, the EU institutions, predominantly through theCJEU, cooperate with the competent institutions of the Council of Europe and theUN and, on a formal or informal level, accept the already established standards inthe promotion and protection of human rights. In the paper, the emphasis of theanalysis will be on explaining the phenomenology of this legal and/or proceduralgame that takes place at the institutional level with special reference to the principleof primacy and legitimacy. The basic hypothesis of the paper is that Europe hascomplex system of fundamental rights protection. It is a truly “crowded house”. Citizens and legal practitioners are confronted with different binding texts to beapplied sometimes simultaneously, using different standards, structures,terminology and qualifications. These are domestic law, including in most cases thenational constitution’s fundamental rights, the European Convention on HumanRights and its protocols as well as EU law, in particular the EU Charter ofFundamental Rights. On the other hand, the EU Charter for fundamental rights andthe general principles of Union law are the primary fundamental rights instrumentswhen assessing EU law and national measures within the scope of application ofEU law. In practice, there is an active dialogue and a high degree of consensusamong European and highest national constitutional and supreme courts onprotection of human rights
CHRISTIANITY AND SECULARIZATION FOLLOWING THE IDEAS OF ŽELJKO MARDEŠIĆ
Get PDFFollowing the interpretation of the famous Croatian sociologist Željko Mardešić (JakovJukić), this paper analyzes secularization in the context of contemporary sociology of religion.Considering various social, cultural, and religious changes, the presented secularization processis the origin of the sudden and unexpected flourishing of various forms of new religiosity and thealarming appearance of relics of the past, i.e., the increasingly present fundamentalism and integralismin major religions. According to Željko Mardešić, the secularization process consists ofthree levels and includes society, the Church, and – most deeply – the individual person. The individualfinds themselves in a strange gap. On the one hand, secularization swallows up and annulsthe sacred, while, on the other hand, the individual produces the sacred, which is not a substitutefor traditional religion, but something completely new and opposed. Željko Mardešić sees the futureof Christianity following in the footsteps of the Second Vatican Council, which seeks the effortof sincere questioning its state on the part of Christianity; to choose either political religiosity orauthentic religiosity with no political security. It is important to note that Christianity, deprived ofits many worldly roles, in the new secularization context is encouraged to focus on ritual celebrationand spiritual immersion to creatively transform society and cultural life. In this context, thereemerges an increasingly acceptable interpretation according to which, using Željko Mardešić’swords, secularization is seen as a happy event for historical Christianity, because it draws Christianitya little closer to the original evangelical truth and a more authentic living of the goodness ofits members. This event manifests in rejecting the collectivist and ideological vision of Christianityand advocates accepting the light of goodness rather than one’s own group, supporting freedomand the free human in a group defined by the community of people who believe in the person andteachings of Jesus Christ

ПРЕТСТАВУВАЊЕТО НА РОДОТ И КЛАСАТА ВО РОМАНОТ МАРТА ОД ЕЛИЗА ОЖЕШКОВА
Get PDFDrawing on key analytical concepts from feminist narratology, particularly those introduced by Susan Lanser, as well as Nancy Armstrong’s critique of the realist novel, this paper examines the interplay between narrative structure and the feminist aspirations of Eliza Orzeszkowa’s 19th century novel Marta. Situating the novel within the broader socio-political context of 19th century Poland, the study explores how Marta both critiques and reflects the patriarchal and economic conditions shaping women’s lives during this period. Through close reading as its primary method, the analysis demonstrates how, in the pursuit of its thematic objectives, the text engages with, subverts – or is constrained by – the limitations inherent in the realist narrative form.Служејќи се со некои од централните аналитички поими во феминистичката наратологија, воведени од С. Лансер, како и критиката на реалистичниот роман на Н. Армстронг, во оваа студија ја толкуваме врската помеѓу наративната структура и феминистичките аспирации на деветнаесетвековниот роман Марта од Елиза Ожешкова. Анализата има за цел да покаже како, во релизацијата на својот тематски зафат, текстот се справува со – или подлегнува на – ограничувањата на реалистичната наративна форма
PERFORMANCE-RELATED PAY AND PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL IN CROATIAN CIVIL SERVICE: LEGAL REGULATION AND POSSIBLE OUTCOMES
Get PDFIn 2024, important changes to the legal regulation of human potentialmanagement in Croatian civil service occurred. Specifically, the new Civil ServantsAct was enacted, replacing the previous Act in force for almost 20 years. Parallelly,the new Law on Salaries in the Civil Service and Public Services was enacted,introducing performance-related pay in Croatian civil and public service. The paperaims to analyse the new regulations regulating civil service, including the bylaws,and discuss possible outcomes. Methodologically, the paper relies on the legalanalysis of the existing regulations, but empirical data from the survey conductedin December 2023 among civil servants are also presented. These data show thatcivil servants in Croatia want the introduction of PRP, but challenges such as thelimitation to the number of civil servants receiving the highest performanceappraisal grades, the lack of training on the new performance appraisal system andthe lack of the developmental usage of performance appraisal, can jeopardise theoutcomes of the reform
