Features of the essayistic work of Walter Benjamin
Get PDFRad se bavi karakteristikama i dominantnim aspektima esejističkog stvaralaštva nemačkog mislioca jevrejskog porekla, Valtera Benjamina. Težište rada je na Benjaminovom specifičnom mikrofilološkom čulu, poliperspektivizmu i fragmentarnosti, vanrednom odnosu prema minornim pojavama i naizgled trivijalnim pojedinostima, obdarenošću za detalј, opservaciji i promišlјanju, kao i jasnosti i preciznosti misli koja ponire dubinski u suštinu posmatranog fenomena. Za takvu vrstu pregleda neophodno je bilo prethodno steći uvid u široki spektar Benjaminovih tematski i formalno raznovrsnih tekstova, koji se kreću u rasponu od visokorefleksivnih priloga o istoriji lјudskog progresa, mestu umetnika i statusu umetnosti naspram izazova kapitala i tehnologije, manifestacije duha epohe i čovekovog delovanja u istorijskom kontekstu, preko književnoteorijskih i analitičkih studija, do autobiografskih sećanja, dnevničkih beleženja, teza, crtica i aforističkih zapisa.In this paper, we deal with the characteristics and dominant aspects of the essayistic work of the German thinker of Jewish origin, Walter Benjamin. The focus of the paper is on Benjamin's specific microphilological sense, polyperspectivism and fragmentation, extraordinary attitude towards minor phenomena, treatment of seemingly trivial things, giftedness for detail, observation, and reflection, as well as clarity and precision of thought that sinks deep into the essence. For this type of review, it was previously necessary to gain insight into a wide range of Benjamin's thematically and formally diverse texts, ranging from highly reflective contributions on the history of human progress, the place of the artist and the status of art versus the challenges of capital and technology in the historical context, through literary theories and analytical studies and theses, to autobiographical memories and diary and aphoristic entries. While Benjamin's essays are reminiscent of narrative records, the manifested experience is entrusted to the abstraction and transcendence of its subject, which can occasionally be discontinuous, jumpy and digressive, elliptical, theological-mystical, and metaphorical, where Benjamin, like an intellectual flaneur, in his permanent emergence, moves unhindered in the direction of the lucidity of his thought, which celebrates the triumph of the gaze penetrating the phantasmagoria of the things.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
“Arguably Jewish” - Franz Kafka's jewishness
Get PDFU radu se analizira i predstavlјa složenost jevrejstva Franca Kafke, uz cilј da se osvetli kulturološki, politički i teritorijalni kontekst Praga uoči Prvog svetskog rata. Bavićemo se, dakle, Kafkinim ličnim osećanjem jevrejstva, a ne analizom njegovih dela iz perspektive judaizma. Uronjenost u judaističku tradiciju (misticizam, kabalu, cionizam) izazivala je kod ovog autora na smenu pozitivne i negativne reflekse. Pored uvida Benjamina, Deleza i Gatarija, posebno skrećemo pažnju na tekst Džudit Batler iz 2011. godine "Ko poseduje Kafku?", koji problematizuje Kafkinu nacionalnu i kulturnu pripadnost. Zanimlјiv i relevantan izbor Kafkinih misli o jevrejstvu iz njegovih dnevnika, pisama i priča, pokazaće delikatnu poziciju neprestanog kolebanja između jevrejstva, cionizma i latentnog ateizma.This paper's aim is to analyze and present the complexity of the Jewishness of Franz Kafka, paying special attention to the cultural, political, and territorial background and context of Prague, Czech Republic, in the years prior to the outbreak of the Great War. The main topic will therefore be Kafka's personal and subjective feelings of Jewishness and not the analysis of his work from the perspective of Judaism. Kafka's engrossment in the Judaic tradition (mysticism, Kabbalah, Zionism) and their identification with it resulted in both positive and negative reflexes. Apart from the notable insights by Benjamin, as well as poststructuralist theories put forward by Deleuze and Guattari, we especially emphasize the article by Judith Butler from 2011, "Who Owns Kafka?" which problematizes Kafka's national and cultural affiliations. An interesting and relevant selection of Kafka's own thoughts on Jewishness, collected from his diaries, letters, and short stories, shows the delicate position of the never-ending oscillation and ambivalence between being Jewish, Zionism, and latent atheism.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
From a distance - Sylvia Plath, Holocaust poems and the question of "non-victim" identification
Get PDFJedna od najupečatlјivijih metafora u poetici kontroverzne američke pesnikinje Silvije Plat predstavlјa njenu identifikaciju sa nacističkim progonom Jevreja u Drugom svetskom ratu. Poznata je tendencija kritike da Platovu posmatra kao pesnikinju koja u slikama o Holokaustu govori o sopstvenom stradanju u svetu patrijarhalno orijentisane dominantne kulture. Rad nastoji da uspostavi balans između čitanja Platove kao jednog od najuticajnijih glasova konfesionalne poetike XX veka i njenog statusa autorke koja je u stanju da internalizuje lični bol u onaj kolektivni, da svoje ja stavi u službu kolektivne svesti, svesti stradanja Jevreja u Holokaustu. U kontekstu psihološko-feminističkog i istorijskog pristupa, rad naglašava važnost preispitivanja postojećih i otvaranja novih perspektiva u odnosu onog individualnog i kolektivnog, empatijskog i univerzalnog u lјudskoj prirodi.One of the most striking metaphors in the poetics of the controversial American poet Sylvia Plath represents her identification with the Nazi persecution of Jews in World War II. There is a well-known tendency of criticism to see Plath as a poet who speaks about her own suffering in the world of a patriarchally oriented dominant culture in her pictures about the Holocaust. The work tries to establish a balance between reading Plath as one of the most influential voices of confessional poetics of the 20th century and her status as an author who is able to internalize personal pain into the collective one, to put herself at the service of the collective consciousness, the consciousness of the suffering of the Jews in the Holocaust. In the context of the psychological-feminist and historical approach, the work emphasizes the importance of reviewing existing and opening new perspectives on the relationship between individual and collective, empathic and universal in human nature.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije

Jews in Kotor: traces of archival sites from the 15th to the 20th century
Get PDF"...Najveće migracije jevrejskog naroda na Mediteranu, s kraja srednjeg vijeka, obuhvatile su i crnogorsko primorje. Veoma značajna karika u tim migracijama je posredstvo Hercegovaca i njihovih karavana koji su sefardske Jevreje, izgnanike sa Peloponeza, na konjima prevozili najčešće od Dubrovnika pa do Soluna. Stoga nije upitno da su se Jevreji, nakon progona iz Španije 1492. godine, privremeno ili stalno naseljavali u gradovima koji danas zahvataju crnogorsko primorje, kao npr. Herceg Novom i Risnu...""... The largest migrations of the Jewish people in the Mediterranean, from the end of the Middle Ages, included the Montenegrin coast. A very important link in these migrations is the mediation of the Herzegovinians and their caravans, which transported Sephardic Jews, exiles from the Peloponnese, on horseback, most often from Dubrovnik to Thessaloniki. Therefore, it is not questionable that the Jews, after the persecution from Spain in 1492, temporarily or permanently settled in the cities that today cover the Montenegrin coast, such as Herceg Novi and Risan ...

Jerusalem in the religious epic "History of the Last Destruction of the Holy City of Jerusalem" by Vikentije Rakić
Get PDFNaše istraživanje obuhvata poetske slike Jerusalima u religioznom epu "Istorija o poslednjem razoreniju svetago grada Jerusalima" (1804) Vikentija Rakića. Književno-istorijskom i analitičkom metodom ustanovili smo stepen udela judeo-hrišćanskih ideja o gradu Jerusalimu u srpskoj književnosti predromantizma: budući da se perspektiva epskog subjekta postepeno sužava, od geografske panorame grada ka Hramu, očituju se strukturni čionici jevrejskog koncepta grada-hrama. Kada je posredi poetički identitet Rakićevog speva, zaklјučujemo da pomenuti religiozni ep ne nastaje na tragu srpske srednjovekovne pokloničke prakse, osobito zbog direktne intertekstualizacije istorijskog dela "Judejski rat" Josifa Flavija. Rakić se pojedinim aspektima tumačenja događaja delovanjem Božijeg promisla približava piscima srednjovekovnog doba, ali egzotičnim ukusom za predele Bliskog Istoka (Jerusalima), simbolikom brojeva i boja, te rimovanim desetercima, peva sasvim u duhu srpskog predromantizma - stilskog pravca epohe prosvećenosti.Our research includes poetic images of Jerusalem in the religious epic "History of the Last Destruction of the Holy City of Jerusalem" (1804) by Vikentije Rakić. Applying the literary-historical and analytical method, we have established the degree of Judeo-Christian ideas about the city of Jerusalem in the Serbian literature of pre-romanticism: since the perspective of the epic subject gradually narrows, from the geographical panorama of the city to the Temple, the structural figures of the Jewish concept of the city - the temple, are manifested. When it comes to the poetic identity of Rakić's song, we conclude that the mentioned religious epic does not originate on the trail of Serbian medieval pilgrimage practice, especially due to the direct intertextualization of the historical work The Jewish War by Josephus Flavius. Rakić approaches medieval writers, but thanks to his exotic taste for the Middle East (Jerusalem), the symbolism of numbers and colours, and rhyming pentameters, he sings in the spirit of Serbian pre-romanticism - the stylistic direction of the Enlightenment.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
That "sly effect of biography": short story "The stateless one" by Danilo Kiš
Get PDFU istraživačkom fokusu ovoga rada nalazi se nezavršena pripovetka "Apatrid" Danila Kiša, sagledana u kontekstu poetike zbirke Enciklopedija mrtvih, čiji je nesuđeni deo, kao i u kontekstu piščeve težnje da predstavi tipični portret srednjoevropskog pisca/ intelektualca, koji negde u genima nosi "bolest uznemirujuće različitosti" - "opasnu krvnu grupu", što će odrediti i njegovu ahasversku sudbinu. Taj portret, čija se geneza može pratiti od Kišovih prvih pesama, a građenje i brušenje u njegovom beletrističkom i esejističkom opusu sve do poslednjih tekstova i eksplicitnih izjava u intervjuima, u priči "Apatrid" otkriva se kao simbioza inspirisana biografijom nekoliko stvarnih ličnosti: Edena fon Horvata, koji je poslužio kao prototip za junaka Egona fon Nemeta, ali i samoga Kiša, te Adija, Kestlera, Kafke, Broha, Muzila, Kundere, Konrada...The research focus of this paper is the unfinished short story "The Stateless One" by Danilo Kiš, viewed both in the context of the poetics of the collection "The Encyclopedia of the Dead" and the writer's aim to present a typical portrayal of a Central European writer/intellectual, who carries somewhere in his genes "the disease of disturbing diversity" - that "dangerous blood type", which will determine his Ahasuerian destiny. As far as the legendary Ahasuerus is concerned (who is a product of Christianity), the emphasis is put on his sin, while Kiš's Ahasuerus, a stateless man who becomes a Jew only when the others see a Jew in him, represents a paradigm of victimhood of the 20th century, by means of which the author confirms the ethical position of Hourglass ("It is better to be among the persecuted ones than among the persecutors") and continues to bring to life "one sunken world" of the Central European Jews between two world wars. That world and the Central European portrayal, whose genesis can be traced back to Kiš's first poems ("Biography"), and the formation and development in his belletristic and essayistic opus, all the way to his last texts and explicit statements in interviews, is revealed in the short story "The Stateless One", as a symbiosis inspired by the biographies of several real persons: Odon von Horvath, who served as a prototype for the hero Egon von Nemeth, but also Ady, Kiš himself, Kestler, Kafka, Broch, Musil, Kundera, Konrad etc.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
"They speak through their absence, through what never will be": on the presence of absence in Albahari's novels "Cink" and "Mamac"
Get PDFRad nastoji da ispita temelјe krhotina na kojima David Albahari upisuje modernističku fragmentarnost u diskurse romana "Cink" i "Mamac". Baveći se principom prisutnog odsustva, odnosno figurama oca i majke, rad nastoji da pokaže kako se priča kreira od neprisutnosti koju ne poriče, već od nje zavisi. Cilј rada je da, uz rekreiranje porodične priče, pokaže doseg modernističkih valenci u pukotinama nedovršene priče, koju autor najpre želi da zaokruži. Figura oca i figura majke izvršili su nužan uticaj na pripovedačev odnos prema samoj priči, te se želi pokazati u kojoj meri postoji međuzavistan odnos između neprisutnog, primarnog važnog i aktuelnog, koje je za diskurs romana od manje važnosti. Način na koji pripovedač predstavlјa roditelјe jeste način na koji se modernistički diskontinuitet i protivurečni subjekt upisuju kao osnove romana 20. veka.The paper aims to explore the modernist fragmentariness of the discourses which form the basis of Albahari's novels "Cink" and "Mamac". Focusing on the principle of the presence of absence, through the figures of the father and mother, the paper aims to show how the story is created from the non-presence, which is not denied but relied upon. By recreating the family narrative, the aim is to demonstrate the range of modernist valences in the cracks of the unfinished story, which the author desires to complete. The father figure and the mother figure perform a necessary influence on the author's relationship with the story, which is why we shall demonstrate to what an extent there is an interdependent relationship between the non-present, the primarily important, and the actual, which is of lesser importance for the discourse of the novels. The manner in which the narrator presents the parents is the manner in which the modernist discontinuity and the contradictory subject integrate themselves into the basis of the novel of the 20th century.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
Traces of death in the novel "Project Lazarus" by Alexander Hemon
Get PDFRad se zasniva na konstituisanju i semantičkom raslojavanju motiva smrti u romanu Aleksandra Hemona "Projekat Lazarus". Uspostavlјa se društveno-kulturološki status Jevreja s početka 20. veka. U romanu se prepliću dva narativna toka: prvi tematizuje jevrejske imigrante početkom 20. veka, dok je tema drugog narativnog toka nastajanje prvog, odnosno Vladimir Brik, sto godina kasnije nastoji da istraži i zabeleži smrt Lazarusa služeći se tzv. mapiranjem, odnosno ponovnim posećivanjem mesta gde je Lazarus boravio. Stradanje i poetički svet romana "Projekat Lazarus" prepoznaju se u neprestanom dodelјivanju značenja dok je, zapravo, to svet uvek odgođenog značenja. Smrt Jevreja koji strada pod neočekivanim i još uvek neobjašnjenim okolnostima ostvaruje semantički potencijal kroz konstantno poigravanje centra i margine, hijerarhije i razlike, znaka i označenog, vere i sumnje, stabilnog i odgođenog. U romanu su prepoznate tendencije istoričnosti, identitet označen i prepoznat u smrti (kao mrtav) područje je bujanja semantičkog značenja/označavanja.The paper is based on the constitution and semantic stratification of the motifs of death in Alexander Hemon's novel "Project Lazarus". The novel intertwines two narrative currents: the first one deals with Jewish immigrants at the beginning of the 20th century, while the theme of the second narrative is the emergence of the first, that is, Vladimir Brick, who a hundred years later tries to investigate and record the death of Lazarus using so-called mapping, that is, by revisiting the places where Lazarus resided. The intention is to discover the truth about the murder of the Jew, but in the end, it remains variable, arbitrary, and relative. The meaning of death, that is, the meaning of the murder of Lazarus Averbuch, was explored with the help of Saussure's distinction between the sign and the signified, although the signified was in a Derridean sense postponed and constantly supplemented with new meanings. The novel is a world of always delayed meaning, in which truth is incomprehensible. The death of a Jew who dies under unexpected circumstances is transformed into an assassination attempt. The victim thus becomes a murderer, and all the arguments that contribute to that are based on the social-ideological-ethical-religious context. Identity marked and recognized in death (as dead) is an area of flourishing semantic meaning/signification. The paper also deals with the establishment of the Lyotard schism, from which it will follow that the Jewish side had suffered injustice that cannot be proven. The semantic potential is realized through the play of centre and margin, hierarchy and difference, sign and signified, guilt and innocence, truth and lies, faith and doubt, stable and delayed.Izdavanje ovog zbornika podržalo je Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije
