An Appeal for a Creaturely Attitude to Animals in Vasily Rozanov’s Writing
Full text linkThe work of Vasily Rozanov offers a relevant case study of our changing relation to natural-cultural contact zones with animals. Rozanov used a comparative approach to human-animal connections to change the societal attitude to the physical body and erase boundaries between human and animal corporeality. I focus on his narratives that promote a creaturely attitude to animals in the context of societal problems. The issues he addresses have special relevance to the current pandemic realia. I argue that Rozanov used both ethico-religious and secular arguments, as well as logic and emotion as part of his strategy to appeal to wider audiences. The hybrid genre of his narratives was a new form of literature that employed multiple rhetorical devices in creating creaturely poetics

Interkomprehensja – interferencja – integracja. Polszczyzna w perspektywie nauczania użytkowników języków wschodniosłowiańskich
Full text linkThe paper is an introduction to teaching the Polish language and culture to native users of closely related languages. The presented synthesis is intended for teachers interested in improving their competence in teaching Polish to East Slavs and those who have just started their adventure in Slavic glottodidactics. The paper grew out of a desire to make teaching Polish to East Slavs (mainly Ukrainans) as effective as possible due to the rapidly increasing need because of a large number of war refugees from Ukraine. Based on their experience in teaching Polish to native users of East Slavic languages, the authors pay particular attention to the Slavic intercomprehension phenomenon and its influence on the glottodidactic process. They also address the problem of the key grammatical mismatches and introduce several good practices.The paper is an introduction to teaching the Polish language and culture to native users of closely related languages.

Kilka uwag o współczesnej kynonimii zachodniosłowiańskiej
Full text linkThis article investigates kynonyms, which constitute one of the most prominent categories of zoonyms. The research material was obtained with the use of an 11-point survey and encompasses the West-Slavic languages: Polish, Czech and Slovak. The study aims to indicate the core tendencies in how dogs are named in these languages, as well as potential regularities or inconsistencies therein. The article encompasses a theoretical component, a discussion on terminology and an exploration of the research material (through semantic and formal means). Most kynonyms are created through the use of: names or surnames of fictional characters known from television and films; pragmatic names; and a characteristic of the animal itself. Only approximately 6.5% of the researchmaterial includes the names derived through word formation; the other names involve metaphorical references. The study also incorporates a stratification of the dog’s image; however, the only correlation uncovered was the relationship between the race of the dog (small or large) and the type of accommodation in which that dog stayed.This article investigates kynonyms, which constitute one of the most prominent categories of zoonyms.

O položaju organske neizgrađene prirode u poetici i ideologiji istočnojadranskog futurizma
Full text linkThe article offers an overview of lesser-known aspects of the Eastern Adriatic futuristic avant-garde in a broader sense: both the futuristic movement itself and the phenomena that relied on it in conventional interpretations. Selected episodes relate to the examination of the futuristic relationship to the organic unbuilt nature. Emphasis is placed on the comparative image of this multicultural and multilingual literary region, beyond national historiographical conventions.The article offers an overview of lesser-known aspects of the Eastern Adriatic futuristic avant-garde in a broader sense: both the futuristic movement itself and the phenomena that relied on it in conventional interpretations.

The Slavonic Literary Studies at the Crossroads: Redefining, or Preserving?
Full text linkThe author of the present study tries to answer the question from the title about the contemporary state and the future of Slavonic literary studies in connection with other disciplines, e.g., comparative and genre studies, their crises and shifts of methodological emphases. According to the author, the future perspectives of Slavonic studies are associated with the relatively constant entity of the subject, the Slavonic phenomenon or the Slavonic world as marking or delimiting the boundaries of Slavonic studies as an independent or autonomous discipline, and with their open or semi-open character in the philological framework, dynamic borders and transcending towards the cultural-area concept without losing their philological kernel
Ekokritika i Zarobljenik šumske kuće Anđelke Martić u izdanju Eko Vjeverice ( Ecocriticism and Anđelka Martić’s Prisoner of the Forest House in Eco Squirrel Book Series )
Full text linkThe introductory part of the article aims to briefly present the main ideas of ecocriticism, a relatively new theoretical approach to the study of literary texts, and also provide basic information about a special publishing project launched at the beginning of the 1990s byMladost publishing house—Eko Vjeverica ( Eco Squirrel ), a book series intended for children. After that, the focus of the analysis is shifted to one of the titles from the series, Zarobljenik šumske kuće ( Prisoner of the Forest House ), a collection of stories written by a Croatian author Anđelka Martić. The main research issues in this article, which are at the same time the basic guidelines of ecocritical approach in the analysis of literary works, relate to the study of fundamental ecological values implied by the word “nature”—what nature is in a given context, in which way nature is experienced and perceived by human characters and how that perception has changed over the years, and also how the world around us acquires meaning through textual representations of nature.

Nonhuman Animal Agency: Human and Free-Roaming Cats’ Coexistence in Spinut Neighbourhood in Split, through an Interdisciplinary Artistic Practice
Full text linkThis artistic research was a one-year Master Performing Public Space program at Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts in Tilburg, Netherlands. Based on concepts of coexistence between nonhumans and humans, it creates new narratives with the models of utopia, symbiocene, empathy. The author, while observing a community of free-roaming cats, co-created a series of interspecies communication and utopian experiments with humans and cats. The work is inspired by the author’s close intertwining with nonhumans and continues her artistic practice based in anthrozoology. It exemplifies artistic co-creation with nonhumans, more-than-human public space geography and the potential of artistic research as a scientific discipline
My Four Dogs: Urban Ecology in Vjeran Miladinović Merlinka’s Terezin sin
Full text linkIn this article, I analyze the relations between humans, non-humans, and infrastructure in Vjeran Miladinović Merlinka’s fictionalized autobiography Terezin sin. I argue that queer humans and non-humans share a particular ontological and axiological space and time in urban ecology in relation to the built environment of cis-heteronormative socius grounded in reproductive heterosexuality.The fictionalized autobiography that is explored in this article offers a particular view of minoritarian relation as it depicts a queer form of relationality that is lived sideways to the cis-heteronormativity and reproductive heterosexuality as an oppressive form of life that creates a specific kind of infrastructural intimacy for itself in the urban built environment. Relations between queer humans andnon-humans under these conditions are decidedly messy, as they are described as both caring and exploitative in Terezin sin
