The Language Reform of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić and the National Question Among the Serbs
No full textFrom the very beginning, the philological activity of Vuk Karadžić was focused on issues associated with the national affirmation of the Serbs. Karadžićʼs main task was related to the sphere of linguistics and it had to do with the reform of the literary (standard) language. In this context, he had to address two key issues: the designing of a writing system that would be adjusted to the phonetic system of the folk language and the selection of the dialect basis for the literary language. Conforming to the spirit of the times in which he lived, in his pursuit of the Serbs national identity, Vuk Karadžić primarily relied on linguistic criteria, considering other criteria, such as religion, less important. Karadžićʼs approach to the issue of Serb language distribution did not remain without followers in contemporary studies
Fiction as testimony: The First World War in modern fiction (Miloš Crnjanski, Ivo Andrić and Rastko Petrović)
No full textУ раду се разматрају књижевнотеоријске импликације приказивања Првог светског рата у фикционалној прози европског и српског модернизма. Како проучавање књижевности посвећене Првом светском рату отвара више тема које по својој природи захтевају интердисциплинарни приступ, увиди из новије културне историје Првог светског рата, студије памћења, сведочења и трауме, као и теорије фикције, жанра и приповедања, употребљени су да би се указало на повезаност између различитих појава које су обележиле европску културну историју после 1918. године...This thesis seeks to reconsider some implications - mainly those that hold a particular interest for literary theory - of the representation of World War I in European and Serbian modernist fiction. Given that any study of World War I literature opens itself to a variety of topics which, by their very nature, require an interdisciplinary approach, insights derived from the New Cultural History of the First World War, Memory, Testimony and Trauma Studies, as well as theories of fiction, genre and narrative, are summoned up in order to emphasize the connection between some distinct, though interrelated, features of post-1918 European cultural history. Various phenomena emerging during the interwar period, such as the appearance of the war veteran as a “moral witness”, the flourishing of war literature, and the advent of postwar modernism, are situated in their context and considered synchronically. This contextualization has a double aim. On the one hand, it invites us to consider the specificity of the modernist representation of World War I, as opposed to other contemporary modes of literary representation, some of which were modern, some traditional. For the purpose of contrast, the war novels of Henri Barbusse, Roland Dorgelès, and Erich Maria Remarque are frequently singled out and analyzed in this context. On the other hand, its aim is to trace the beginnings of a significant transformation, occurring towards the end of the Twenties, within the relationship between the fictional literary genres (mainly the novel) and the nonfictional ones (testimonies, autobiographies, and memoirs). This transformation would in many respects turn out to be hallmark of the second half of the 20th century. The insights derived from this preliminary survey are then tested by analyzing the representation of World War I in the narrative fiction and critical prose of three modernist authors - Miloš Crnjanski, Ivo Andric and Rastko Petrovic. Focusing on Crnjanski’s novel The Journal of Charoevich and his short stories, the early prose of Ivo Andric and The Bridge Over Drina, as well as the successive versions of Petrovic’s novel the Sixth Day, this analysis seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the attitudes towards literature, history and the First World War which these authors shared with one another and with other prominent modernists
Gender, literature and modernity in periodicals from the early 20th century: Žena/The Woman (1911-1914) and The Freewoman ; Гендер, литература и современность в периодике начала ХХ века: «Женщина» («Žena», 1911–1914) и «Фривумен» («The Freewoman»,1911–1912)
No full textU ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji analizirana su dva časopisa s početka dvadesetog veka – The Freewoman (1911-1912) i Žena (1911-1914). Časopis The Freewoman, čiji je podnaslov prvo bio „nedeljni feministički pregled“ („A Weekly Feminist Review“), a potom „nedeljni humanistički pregled“ („A Weekly Humanist Review“), pokrenut je 1911. godine u Londonu i izlazio je jedanput nedeljno. Časopis je pokrenula i uređivala Dora Marsden (1882-1960), u jednom periodu zajedno sa Meri Gotrop (Mary Gawthrope, 1881-1973), nakon što su obe napustile Žensku društvenu i političku uniju (The Women’s Social and Political Union), militantnu sifražetsku organizaciju koja se zalagala da žene dobiju pravo glasa. Časopis Žena, čiji je podnaslov najpre bio „mesečni časopis za žene“, a potom „časopis za pouku i zabavu“, pokrenut je 1911. godine u Novom Sadu. Izlazio je jedanput mesečno u periodu 1911-1914. Prestao je da izlazi po izbijanju Prvog svetskog rata; obnovljen je 1918. godine i izlazio je do kraja 1921. godine. Časopis je pokrenula i uređivala Milica Tomić (1859-1944), ćerka Svetozara Miletića i žena Jaše Tomića, istaknutih srpskih političara. U središtu analize bila je veza između roda, književnosti (ovaj termin shvaćen je široko te uključuje članke i eseje iz brojnih oblasti, kao i književnu kritiku) i modernosti. Cilj analize bio je da se ispita složeni odnos između roda (pre svega, reprezentacija žena i ženstvenosti, formiranja rodnog identiteta, seksualnosti, te rodnih aspekata književnog stvaralaštva) i modernosti (i srodnih pojmova, poput modernog, modernizacije, modernizma). Pošto obuhvataju kritičke priloge (tekstove koji se bave društvenom, političkom i kulturnom problematikom) i književne priloge (koji su često bili reakcije na aktuelne teme, poput braka, razvoda, abortusa ili rata), časopisi The Freewoman i Žena bili su adekvatan materijal za jednu istorijsku, kulturnu i teorijsku analizu. Tekstovi iz dva časopisa tumačeni su u njihovim specifičnim društvenim, političkim i kulturnim kontekstima. Komparativna analiza dva časopisa koji prvi put izlaze iste godine, jedan u Londonu a drugi u Novom Sadu, omogućila je da se uoče konceptualizacije modernog koje se razlikuju od jednog do drugog društveno-političkog konteksta i kulturne tradicije u čijim okvirima nastaju. Zajedno sa tim, identifikovana su i pitanja, problemi i teme koji su početkom dvadesetog veka prelazili nacionalne, jezičke, kulturne granice. U analizi se pošlo i od toga da su sami pojmovi modernosti i modernizma istovremeno i deskriptivni i normativni: i kada se koriste naizgled samo da opišu istorijske prilike, u njima je već sadržan i određeni vrednosni sud...This doctoral dissertation analysed two periodicals from the beginning of the 20th century – The Freewoman (1911-1912) and Žena/The Woman (1911-1914). The Freewoman, founded by Dora Marsden (1882-1960) and her friend Mary Gawthrope (1881-1973), started coming out in 1911 as “A Weekly Feminist Review.” After 27 issues, journal changed its name into “A Weekly Humanist Review.” Both women, well-known suffragettes, left the Pankhursts’ militant suffrage organization – The Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), and established the first (explicitly) feminist magazine in Anglo-American world. Magazine Žena, whose first subtitle “a monthly magazine for women” changed to “magazine for education and fun”, started coming out in Novi Sad in 1911. The journal was coming out on a monthly basis between 1911 and 1914. While it was not published during the First World War, subsequently, editors renewed its publication for three more years, and finally ended in 1921. This magazine was founded and edited by Milica Tomić (1859-1944), Svetozar Miletić’s daughter and Jaša Tomić’s wife. Both Miletić and Tomić were famous political figures. The focus of this dissertation is the relation between gender, literature (this term was understood broadly in order to include essays and articles from numerous disciplines as well as literary criticism), and modernity. The analysis aims to explore complex and intertwined relations between gender (above all, representations of women and womanliness, gender identities and their formation, sexuality, and gender aspects of both literary works and literary criticism) and modernity (and related concepts such as modern, modernization, modernism). Both The Freewoman and Žena published critical articles discussing social, political and cultural problems, as well as literary pieces (often representing fictional reactions to and interpretations of the key politico-ethical issues such as marriage, divorce, abortion and war). Therefore, these two printed resources are adequate and fruitful ground for informed historical, cultural and theoretical analysis. Articles from both magazines are examined and interpreted in their specific social, political and cultural contexts. Such a comparative analysis of the two magazines, which appear simultaneously in London and in Novi Sad, makes us acknowledge and understand different conceptualizations of “modern” which vary depending on social and political contexts as well as cultural traditions within which they develop. In addition, the analysis of two magazines serves to question and problematize topics that went well beyond national, cultural and linguistic borders. One of the tasks of the analysis is to show how concepts such as modernity and modernism when used descriptively are always already prescriptive. In other words, even when used to describe only historical contexts, value judgements are inextricably intertwined within concepts of modernity and modernism..
Modernizing curricula at the higher education level through blended learning
No full textDue to the large amount of information and data fully available in digital form through the Internet, as well as the increasing use of ICT in everyday life, the process of education inevitably had to change. The informal type of education is becoming increasingly common way in which students or course participants choose to acquire knowledge. This type of education is becoming more prevalent, since it is relatively easy to organize the teaching and learning process through modern ICT and make it available to a large number of people. In order to maintain the leading position as educational institutions of the highest rank in the digital age, universities must modernize their curricula, which could be achieved through processing the vast number of available information in a particular field, offering the most relevant ones to students by means of digital technologies and finally by transforming the aforementioned into knowledge. This requires substantial effort coming from higher education institutions and leaders, as well as their willingness and commitment to modernize curricula. The process of modernizing curricula at the university level must begin with redesigning the relation between teaching and learning. Considering that the technological progress is accelerating tremendously, it is desirable that certain teaching materials become available in digital form, thus relieving lectures and providing an opportunity for students to initiate and actively participate in discussions during active teaching. Blended learning offers the optimal combination of the traditional, more formal, way of transferring knowledge and the modern vision of acquiring knowledge through e-learning or online learning, as it successfully combines synchronous, online synchronous and asynchronous learning components. This paper will emphasize the necessity of modernizing curricula at the higher education level by introducing blended learning, as well as provide illustrations of the manner in which this type of learning can be applied at the university level. In addition, we will give a few examples of the faculties in Serbia, both public, and private ones, which for many years now apply this way of organizing classes and transferring knowledge, as well as provide an overview of their experiences in this regard

Aesthetics as Analyis of Mind Experience
No full textThe paper presents an at tempt to shed light on causes and circum stanceswhich brought about foundation of aesthetics in 18th century as disciplinewhich analyzes mind experience. Author recognizes key importance of 17thcentury epistemology for constitution of modern aesthetics, principally ideaof subjectivity, subject-object relation problem and new method -philosophical introspection. Special place in modern aesthetics, according toauthor, deserves aesthetic theory of Francis Hutcheson who defines beauty asphenomenal quality of subjective experience of human mind
Facts Are Stubborn Things – Women in Serbian Daily Press
No full textПолазећи од претпоставке да је присуство жена у дневној и недељној штампи слика њиховог положаја у друштву, у овом раду покушавамо да утврдимо колико и како су жене представљене у српској штампи користећи се методама корпусне и рачунарске лингвистике, као и методама екстракције информација. Разматрање je засновано на корпусу састављеном од извода из дневне штампе и електронских медија (Политика, Блиц, Вечерње новости, Данас, Б92) прикупљеном у периоду 2009 – 2015, мањем изводу из женске недељне штампе (Базар) и узорку недељника Врањске. Методе рачунарске лингвистике ослањају се на коришћење исцрпног електронског речника српског језика, док се екстракција информација заснива на детектовању именованих ентитета коришћењем граматика за плитку синтаксну анализу. Добијени резултати су ручно евалуирани што нам је омогућило да утврдимо висок квалитет нашег система у препознавању имена особа, док квалитет препознавања пола именованих особа треба побољшати. С друге стране, добијени резултати нам говоре да је заступљеност жена уопште у српској штампи данас (дневној и недељној) знатно мања од заступљености мушкараца, али и да се најистакнутијим женским особама посвећује знатно мање простора него најистакнутијим мушким личностима.There are various answers to the question whether gender equality has been achieved in contemporary Serbian society. Some consider women to be absolutely equal, others think that the achieved equality has been lost; there are those who believe that it never existed and that it will be a long time before it is achieved. What could be the stubborn fact which would help us determine what the plausible answer is? Assuming that the presence of women in daily and weekly press reflects their social position, we shall attempt to discover how much and in what way women are present in Serbian papers. The research relies on corpus and computational linguistics and extraction of information. The analysis will be based on a corpus consisting of portions taken from daily papers and electronic media (Politika, Blic, Večernje novosti, Danas, B92) which have more than 600.000 words (collected 2009-2014) and a smaller extract from weekly press (Ilustrovana poltika, Bazar). The methods of computational linguistics will employ a comprehensive dictionary of the Serbian language and the extraction of information will be based on detecting the named entities with the help of grammars for shallow syntactic analysis. After evaluation, the obtained results will be examined in terms of quality and quantity
Дора Марсден и The Freewoman: уређивачка политика и идејни плурализам
No full textДора Марсден (Dora Marsden) и Мери Готроп (Mary Gawthorpe), чувене сифражеткиње, напустиле су 1911. године Женску друштвену и политичку унију (Women’s Social and Political Union). По напуштању Уније, покренуле су часопис The Freewoman – A Weekly Feminist Review. У темељу овог часописа били су дијалог и расправа. За мање од годину дана часопис је подстакао расправу у вези са бројним важним феминистичким питањима: од тога шта чини слободну жену, преко (пре)испитивања прихваћених модела моралности и сексуалности, описа друштвених и економских проблема са којима се жене свакодневно суочавају, до критичких прилога у којима се разматрало женско стваралаштво, као и репрезентације жена у уметности и књижевности. Часопис се гаси већ 1912. У овом тексту разматра се веза између живота и интелектуалног рада Доре Марсден, као и њен уреднички credo
