Putopisna inskripcija Bosne i bosanskog u 19. stoljeću
Full text linkThe topic is romantic travelogues with the subject of Bosnia: descriptions andinsights into the perceived “reality” of the Bosnian area and people of the19th century presented through linguistic and stylistic means and on examples of selected travelogues from that period. New historical experiences of the writer opened the way for the emotional reception of collective practices of people, and this often leads to ahistorical conceptualization and long-lasting stereotypes. Considering that both linguistic activity and historical memory are mutual psychological processes, the diverse strategic character of the travel discourse through research shows that known cultural patterns can often deceive with their simplified form.The topic is romantic travelogues with the subject of Bosnia: descriptions andinsights into the perceived “reality” of the Bosnian area and people of the19th century presented through linguistic and stylistic means and on examples of selected travelogues from that period.

Killing Under Masks – Death by Rusalia (Vasilichari) Groups in Ottoman Macedonia in 19th Century
Full text linkIn this text, we refer to the killing by the rusalia groups (also known as babar or jamalar groups) whose members were wearing masks during the so-called unbaptized days (from January 7 to 19). In these centuries-old rites, old Slavic pre-Christian customs are mixed with Christian celebrations. Our interest relates to a pagan custom performed in the time of Ottoman Macedonia in the19th century. Back then, the meeting of two such groups ended with bloodshed and the death of individuals caused by knives or sticks. The deceased were buried in the place where they were killed, thus there are rusalia, babar or jamalar graves in several locations

Filozofia słowiańska w myśli filozoficznej słowackich romantyków – z polskimi śladami w tle: pl
Full text linkThe author of the article focuses on introducing and interpreting the dispute over Slavic philosophy that took place in the 1840s in Slovak magazines (between J.M. Hurban, C. Zoch and P.Kellner-Hostinský). This dispute is an important testimony of the era, it concerned the fundamental issues of the time: the identity of Slovak culture, its philosophical background, its place and role in the Slavic world, its attitude to tradition. The author of the article focused primarily on two aspects of the “slovanská veda” project: the relation to German philosophy and the key cognitive category “viďeňja.” The author also points to the role that this dispute played in shaping the model of Slovak culture. Since the Slovak Romantic literary discourse has recently been enriched by many new revisions, the author also briefly refers, sometimes polemically, to the latest research.The author of the article focuses on introducing and interpreting the dispute over Slavic philosophy that took place in the 1840s in Slovak magazines (between J.M.

Colour, Brightness, Contrast. Illustrations of Erben’s Kytice as Interpretations; sample of a comprehensive tex
Full text linkThe paper is a sample of the author´s current intermedial research into the illustrations of Karel Jaromír Erben’s volume of ballads Kytice (1853). Visual transmediations of a literary pretext may be understood as interpretations sui generis: while illustrations reveal the individual attitude of the visual artist, the illustrated book bears traces of the conditions in which it was published. In case of a classical work such as Kytice, numerous illustrated editions inevitably reflect also the concept of cultural tradition in the period concerned. Relevant social, creative and spiritual problems and needs of the time may be projected onto the illustrations resulting in a meaning-making process related to and parallel to the textual one. The focus of this enquiry is expressed by the optical categories of colour, brightness, and contrast as related to the visual representations and traits of the pretext. Featured illustrators: Zdeněk Sklenář, Alén Diviš, Helena Konstantinová.The paper is a sample of the author´s current intermedial research into the illustrations of Karel Jaromír Erben’s volume of ballads Kytice (1853).

And There Were the Plitvice Lakes. The Landscapes of the Croatian Lake District in the Romantic Journey Put na Plitvice
Full text linkPut na Plitvice (The Road to Plitvice, 1860) is the first of the travelogue in Croatian language describing an expedition to the Croatian Lake District. The work of art is of significant “world-creating” and “culture-creating” value, introducing the Plitvice Lakes into the Croatian national text and into the national landscape, hence the biblical allusion in the title. It will therefore be a world-creating narrative, of bringing into existence and therefore giving a symbolic dimension of the work of art.I focus on the landscape-painting aspects of the text, understanding landscape as the manner of constructing and formulating the world, as a way of perceiving and incorporating it into cultural traditions. It is therefore rough, monumental, wild like a traversed space, which should be included in the category of picturesque and sublimity. Veber’s representation of nature illustrates how it was seen at the time within the framework of the national-revival programme
Ambiwalencja jako próba odzyskania autentyzmu w reprezentacji Szoa. Przykład Arnošta Goldflama
Full text linkThe starting point for this research is the crisis in discourse and pedagogy related to the representation of the Holocaust, as well as the crisis of empathy in its perception, signaled by, among others, Ernst van Alphen. With the passage of time increasing numbers of representations appear that push the boundaries of inappropriateness, requiring new approaches and new scientific findings. TheCzech playwright Arnošt Goldflam, a representative of the second generation of survivors and at the same time an artist associated with the independent culture of the 1960s and 1970s, uses the category of ambivalence in his plays about the Holocaust, which may be considered as flirting with inappropriate representations of Shoah, leading to a convincing attempt to overcome its crisis.The starting point for this research is the crisis in discourse and pedagogy related to the representation of the Holocaust, as well as the crisis of empathy in itsperception, signaled by, among others, Ernst van Alphen.

Between Freedom and Imprisonment. The Shanghai Ghetto from the Perspective of the Bulgarian Writer Angel Wagenstein
Full text linkAngel Wagenstein’s novel Farewell, Shanghai is this article’s focal point. The attention focuses on the literary picture of the Shanghai ghetto (Hongkew district) during the Second World War. Wagenstein shows the ghetto as symbol of the end of the Jews’s eternal wandering, where they found autonomy from other nations, and reunification based on sufferings and religion. Before them there stands the long-awaited promised land, where they themselves will govern themselves
