Transformation of the bestiary complex of the Old testament "Book of Jonah" in "A novel of London" by Miloš Crnjanski
Get PDFU radu se, sa posebnim osvrtom na "Knjigu proroka Jone", uspostavlјa bestijarijumski kompleks "Starog zaveta", te se kroz arhitekstualnu interakciju spomenute knjige i "Romana o Londonu" sagledavaju bestijske metamorfoze iz proročke knjige u roman Miloša Crnjanskog. Promišlјajući o figuri kita, kao dominantnom bestijarijumskom obeležju "Knjige proroka Jone" i "Romana o Londonu" Miloša Crnjanskog sagledana je promena izvorne prirode životinje kao literarnog simbola. Kit kao bestijarijumska figura romana predočava ukidanje metafizičkog i proročkog diskursa "Starog zaveta". U "Romanu o Londonu", bestijarijumska figura postaje dijabolički simbol, koji nadilazi pojedinca i zaroblјava ga u mrežu prozirnog zla. Promišlјajući o figuri kita u navedenim delima sagledaćemo preobražaj starozavetnog bestijarijumskog kompleksa u kontekstu romana Crnjanskog.In this paper, we examine the symbolic range of the bestiary figure of the whale. The diabolical cosmogony in "A Novel of London" and God's creation in the "First Book of Moses" are different in that God's creation is fulfilled through life's continuity, while the diabolical blocks the sphere of being through transparency and objectification. The figuration of the sky fish stands in contrast to Yahweh's absolute and the idea of life since diabolical wakefulness is rooted in it. The world of "A Novel of London" incorporates an animal, while its body stands as a closed form, created as a mere object in the sensory register of a human. Through the symbol of an animal, the diabolical potential of the novel is constantly being kept up to date. The Devil of transparency creates the illusion, namely, retells the orderliness of Yahweh's world, but with the tendency to keep its activities and presence secret. Diabolical personification, embodied through the appearance of the sky whale, participates in the play of hiding the vacancy of demonic inflow, which annuls the prophetic discourse of this bestiary figure. The whale cannot be a part of the chain that makes the vow since it is a diabolical "conversio". The animal in "A Novel of London" opens the horizon of vacancy and abyss that drags the characters into the fictional world of the novel. Neither is the pseudo-duplicate of the sky fish annihilated, nor is Ryepnin's death declared at the end of the novel.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
Serbian literature as a source for Holocaust research and understanding: the Serbian and Jewish narrative of suffering in Serbian literature
Get PDFOvaj rad će istraživati pre svega srpski narativ stradanja u Drugom svetskom ratu, oličen u literaturi Branka Ćopića. Ovaj narativ će biti promišlјan spram narativa književnosti o Holokaustu ili u vezi sa njim, prevashodno pisan od strane velikih srpskih i istovremeno jevrejskih pisaca: Danila Kiša, Aleksandra Tišme i Davida Albaharija. Opšti komparativni okvir će biti obogaćen određenim metodološkim pristupima karakterističnim za studije Holokausta. Rad će u zaklјučku predstaviti srpsku književnost kao izuzetno polјe za paralelno istraživanje i razumevanje zajedničkog stradanja u Drugom svetskom ratu, ali i za borbu protiv svakog procesa manipulisanja, poricanja ili dezinformisanja.This paper is an introduction to the study, in the form of an essay, about the Serbian narrative of suffering in the Second World War embodied in the work of Branko Ćopić. This narrative, with all its characteristics, is considered in comparison with similar narratives of the great Serbian-Jewish writers Danilo Kiš, Aleksandar Tišma, and David Albahari, about the Holocaust or in connection to it. The similarities and differences between these two narratives, and in connection to certain elements of the Holocaust studies, testify to the traumatic memories of collective persecution, but also to the intermingled narratives of suffering. We consider it necessary to revive the subject within the culture of remembering the victims of the Second World War, especially today in the time of denial, distortion, and manipulation of facts regarding the Holocaust. Unlike in some other European cultures, in Serbian culture, competitive victimhood is not as present. When Serbian writers write about the Holocaust, they write about everyone, because starvation, as well as resistance through anti-fascist struggle, was common. The Serbian and Jewish narratives of suffering within Serbian literature are extremely fertile ground for this analysis. Thus, Serbian literature becomes an open field for Holocaust research and a source of a better understanding of the literary narrative of suffering.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
Kapo - the title of the impossibility of existence between "we" and "they"
Get PDFU radu se ispituje način oblikovanja figure kapoa u srpskoj književnosti proučavanjem drame "Nebeski odred" Đorđa Lebovića i Aleksandra Obrenovića i romana "Kapo" Aleksandra Tišme. Analizom psihološke motivacije junaka i sagledavanjem njihovih postupaka dolazi do uočavanja sličnosti u načinu na koji je ličnost bila izmenjena životom u logoru. Proces dehumanizacije, karakterističan za logor, u njihovim slučajevima nije imao potpuni uspeh. Delimična očuvanost identiteta ove junake izdvaja u odnosu na druge pripadnike logora. Ovi junaci bivaju dvostruko izdvojeni od sredine kojoj pripadaju - svojim položajem, ali i doživlјajem sebe u sredini u kojoj su se našli. Na pola puta između pozicije nasilnika i pozicije žrtve, kapo postaje figura čije je postojanje nemoguće kroz pripadanje nekom, već samo u suprotnosti sa svima.The paper examines the way of shaping the figure of the kapo in Serbian literature by interpreting the drama "Heavenly squad" by George Lebović and Aleksandar Obrenović and the novel "Kapo" by Aleksandar Tišma. The analysis of the psychological motivation of the heroes and the observation of their actions leads to the observation of similarities in the way in which their personality was changed by life in the camp. The process of dehumanization, characteristic of the camp, did not achieve complete success in their cases. The partial preservation of the identity of these characters separates them from the other members of the camp. These characters are doubly separated from the environment to which they belong - by their position, but also by their experience of themselves in the environment in which they find themselves. Halfway between the position of the perpetrator and the position of the victim, the kapo becomes a figure whose existence is impossible through belonging to someone, but only in opposition to everyone
Remembrance of war days
Get PDF"Priču o ratnom putu mog deda ujaka Imre Šrajera, koga su svi u familiji zvali Baća, nisam čuo od njega, iako sam u Staroj Moravici provodio i leta i zime. Ta priča se u porodici mogla čuti jedino od moje majke Magde, i ponešto od Imreove druge žene Rozalije, koju su komšije zvale Rozi, a moja mati, kada se razgovor vodio na srpskom: Rozika. Mi unuci zvali smo je: Teta. Ta, u osnovi srpska imena: Baća i Teta, nadenuo im je moj otac, Živko, koji nije govorio mađarski. Od pre nekog vremena u familliji se stidljivo govorilo o tome da je Magda, svojevremeno, prevela Imreova sećanja iz rata sa mađarskog na srpski i da je napisala jedan relativno obiman propratni tekst, takođe na srpskom jeziku. Godinama sam tražio ta dva teksta i nisam mogao da ih nađem, iako su sve vreme bili kod mene. Jesam našao originalni tekst na mađarskom, ali ne i Magdin prevod...""I didn't hear the story about the war journey of my grandfather, uncle Imre Schreier, who everyone in the family called Baća, even though I spent summers and winters in Stara Moravica. That story could only be heard in the family from my mother Magda, and a little from Imre's second wife Rozalija, who the neighbours called Rozi, and my mother when the conversation was in Serbian - Rozika. Our grandchildren called her - Teta. Those, basically Serbian names - Baća and Teta, were given to them by my father, Živko, who did not speak Hungarian. Since some time ago, the family shyly talked about the fact that Magda, at one time, translated Imre's memories from the war from Hungarian into Serbian and that she wrote a relatively extensive accompanying text, also in Serbian. I looked for those two texts and couldn't find them, even though they were with me all the time. I did find the original text in Hungarian, but not Magda's translation..."Sećanje na Imru Šrajera koje je Slobodan Grozdanić uputio uredništvu "Politike" (str. 94-98).Memory of Imra Šrajer sent by Slobodan Grozdanić to the editors of "Politika" (pp. 94-98)
The foundation of Sephardic musical tradition in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the "World Music" scene
Get PDFJevrejska tradicija se ispolјava kroz različite muzičke forme, što je predmet proučavanja etnomuzikologije, ali je istovremeno i vezana za polјe kojim se bavi etnologija, budući da se odnosi na kulturu i njeno prenošenje. U tom smislu, ovaj rad se bavi kako svetovnim tako i duhovnim formama jevrejske sefardske muzike u Bosni i Hercegovini. Od dolaska Jevreja Sefarda na ovaj prostor u užem, odnosno Balkanskog poluostrva u širem smislu, krajem XV i početkom XVI veka, muzika njihove zajednice je oblikovana pod uticajem muzika Drugih, ali i obratno. Lokalno podneblјe, gradski oblici, orijentalna melodika, arapsko-špansko-jevrejski oblici, kao i kultura živlјenja, samo su neki od uticaja u tradicionalnoj (narodnoj) muzici sefardskih Jevreja na pomenutom prostoru. Kroz analizu navedenih oblika i stvaralaštva Flori Jagode, grupe Ladino i drugih izvođača novijeg datuma, smatramo da se može uspostaviti nit koja pokazuje kontinuitet muzičkih formi koje su našle svoje mesto i na savremenoj "World Music" sceni.The Jewish tradition is manifested through various musical forms, which is the subject of the study of ethnomusicology, but at the same time, it is related to the field that ethnology deals with, since it refers to culture and its transmission. In that sense, this paper will deal with both secular and spiritual forms of Jewish Sephardic music in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Since the arrival of the Sephardic Jews in this area in the narrower sense or the Balkan Peninsula in the broadest sense at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century, the music of their community has been shaped by the music of Others, and vice versa. The local province, urban forms, oriental melodies, Arabic-Spanish-Jewish forms, as well as the culture of living, are just some of the influences in the traditional (folk) music of Sephardic Jews in the mentioned area (Bosnia-Herzegovina). We believe a thread can be established that shows the continuity of musical forms that have found their place on the World Music scene, through the analysis of the mentioned forms and creativity of Flory Jagoda, Ladino ensemble, and other performers of recent date.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
Kamen spoticanja = Stumbling Stones, Stolpersteine
Get PDF"Bili su naši susjedi, prijatelji, suradnici, ljudi koji su činili naš život, ljudi s kojima smo stvarali našu svakodnevnicu i planirali našu budućnost. Danas, u Međimurju postavljamo dvadeset i osam kamena spoticanja, devet u gradu Prelogu, a devetnaest u gradu Čakovcu, u spomen na njihovo postojanje. Dan 2. rujna 2021. značajan je dan za Čakovec, za Međimurje i Hrvatsku, a posebno značajan dan za židovsku zajednicu. Kamen spoticanja postavljamo kao znak trajnog sjećanja na dvadeset i osam članova židovske zajednice Međimurja koji su ovdje mirno živjeli te bili istrgnuti iz svoje sredine. Odvedeni su i ubijeni u logorima smrti nacističke Njemačke, samo iz jednog razloga, jer su bili Židovi. Međimurje je ostalo siromašno za značajnu i uglednu zajednicu, židovsku. Ništa više nije kao što je bilo, ništa više neće biti kao što je moglo biti, a na nama je da pokušavamo, da se sjećamo i da ne zaboravimo" (iz uvodne reči Andreja Pala, predsjednika Židovske općine Čakovec)."They were our neighbours, friends, co-workers, people who made up our lives, people with whom we created our day-to-day life and planned our future. Today, we are laying twenty-eight stumbling stones in Medjimurje nine in Prelog and nineteen in Čakovec - to remember their existence. The date 2 September 2021 is an important day for Čakovec, Medjimurje and Croatia as well as a particularly important day for the Jewish community. We are laying down the stumbling stones as a sign of permanent remembrance of the twenty-eight members of the Jewish community of Medjimurje who lived here peacefully and were torn away from their homes. They were taken away and killed in the death camps of Nazi Germany for one reason alone - because they were Jews. Medjimurje was left poorer for a significant and reputable community, a Jewish community. Nothing is as it once was, nothing will be as it could have been, and it is for us to teach, to remember and not to forget" (from the foreword by President of the Jewish Community of Čakovec Aleksandar Pal).Tekst uporedo na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku (parallel text in Croatian and English)
Mrs. Rosenfeld's Jewish cook
No full textKošer kuhinja, odnosno način pripremanja jela i pića u skladu sa ritualnim propisima je večno važeća i stalno aktuelna jevrejska tema. Kuvar jevrejske žene gospođe Rozenfeld, objavljen je na mađarskom jeziku pre 1925. godine u izdanju Štamparije Minerva u Subotici. Prvo izdanje ima 372 stranice sa jednim dodatkom u kojem su popisane štamparske greške i date njihove ispravke. Pretpostavljeno drugo izdanje ima 377 stranica sa dodatkom od još devet stranica. U fondu Nacionalne biblioteke Sečenji (Országos Szechenyi Könyvtár) u Budimpešti, pod brojem 74.984, delo gospođe Rozenfeld Kuvar jevrejske žene predstavljen je trećim izdanjem iz 1938. godine. Ovo treće, prošireno izdanje, ima 377 stranica i 11 stranica dodatka. Reč je o izdanju Knjižarnice Šlezinger (Schlesinger) u Budimpešti, i u produkciji Štamparije knjiga Femeš (Femés), takođe iz Budimpešte. Na mađarskom jezičkom području, između dva svetska rata, po svemu sudeći vrlo popularni košer kuvar gospođe Rozenfeld je i preštampavan. Znamo, recimo, da je Izdavačka kuća Makabi ovu knjigu objavila u obimu od 363 stranica, 1993. godine, pod naslovom "Knjiga jevrejske žene: košer kuhinja". Istina, kao autor recepata navedena je supruga Hermana Rozenfelda, ali u katalogu Nacionalne biblioteke Sečenji stoji i ispravka (! Martonné).Mrs. Rosenfeld's Jewish Woman's Cookbook was published in Hungarian before 1925 by the Minerva Printing House in Subotica. The first edition has 372 pages. The supposed second edition has 377 pages with an addition of another nine pages. In the holdings of the Szechenyi National Library (Országos Szechenyi Könyvtár) in Budapest, under number 74,984, Mrs. Rosenfeld's work "Jewish Woman's Cookbook" is represented by the third edition from 1938. This third, expanded edition has 377 pages and 11 pages of supplements. It is a publication of the Schlesinger Library in Budapest, and produced by the Femés Book Printing House, also from Budapest. In the Hungarian-speaking area, between the two world wars, Mrs. Rosenfeld's very popular kosher cookbook was apparently also reprinted. We know that Maccabi Publishing House published this book in 363 pages in 1993 under the title "The Jewish Woman's Book: The Kosher Kitchen".

Anti-Semitism in modern conspiracy theories
Get PDFSamo nekoliko decenija nakon Holokausta, antisemitske ideje koje bi trebalo da su zakopane zajedno sa Trećim rajhom, ponovo postaju prisutne u "mainstream" političkom diskursu, naročito u drugoj polovini 2010-tih godina. U svojoj sadašnjoj formi, one se uglavnom "serviraju" u istom pakovanju sa mnoštvom drugih ksenofobičnih, islamofobičnih i rasističkih ideja koje propagira ekstremna desnica u Evropi i Americi. Ovaj metod se pogotovo pokazao efikasnim nakon izbijanja migrantske krize 2015. godine. Tada su ponovo vaskrsle teorije o navodnoj zaveri Jevreja, bankara i "globalističkih centara moći" koji teže da unište "belu Evropu" prisilnim naseljavanjem stanovništva iz država Trećeg sveta. Iako su ideje krajnje desnice sveprisutne na evropskoj i američkoj političkoj sceni od 1945. godine, tek sa pojavom interneta i pojačanim prisustvom najšire populacije na društvenim mrežama, stvorena je najefikasnija platforma za širenje lažnih vesti u dosadašnjoj istoriji. U narednim tekstovima ću pokušati da demistifikujem centralni narativ teorije o judeo-masonskoj zaveri, kojim se služila krajnja desnica radi dobijanja političkih poena i diskreditovanja protivnika od 19. veka do savremenih primera. Pokušaću da čitaocu približim korene modernog antisemitizma i rasizma, na koje se vezuju i druge teorije o "Velikoj zameni", "belom genocidu", "propasti Zapada", kao i ostale fabrikacije koje dovode populističke ekstreme u žižu popularnosti. Cilj je pokazati kako su sve ove teorije zasnovane na izvrtanju činjenica, poluinformacijama, lažima i eksploatisanju straha prosečnog građanina. Potrudiću se da približim široj javnosti politički i istorijski kontekst u kome je ova teorija nastala u 19. veku, ukazujući na kontinuitet sa savremenim antisemitskim teorijama. Osnovna hipoteza je da je ideja o postojanju "judeo-masonske zavere" konstruisana od strane konzervativnih političkih struja i pripadnika Monarhije i Starog režima u Francuskoj i korišćena u kontrarevolucionarne svrhe. Kroz aktivno propagiranje narativa o tome kako iza Francuske revolucije stoje Jevreji koji žele da unište hrišćansku Evropu, reakcionarne snage su pokušale da diskredituju revoluciju u očima javnosti i time obezbede legitimitet za sopstveno kontrarevolucionarno delovanje.Only a few decades after the Holocaust, anti-Semitic ideas that should have been buried with the Third Reich are again present in the "mainstream" political discourse, especially in the second half of the 2010s. In their current form, they are generally "served" in the same package as a host of other xenophobic, Islamophobic and racist ideas propagated by the extreme right in Europe and America. This method proved to be especially effective after the migrant crisis in 2015. Then the theories about the alleged conspiracy of Jews, bankers and "globalist power centres" that strive to destroy "white Europe" by forced settlement of the population from Third World countries were resurrected. Although far-right ideas have been ubiquitous on the European and American political scene since 1945, it was only with the advent of the Internet and the increased presence of the widest population on social networks that the most effective platform for spreading fake news in history was created.Publikacija je realizovana uz podršku Fondacije za otvoreno društvo Srbija
