On ‘Grammar of Belonging’
No full textDer Beitrag stützt sich auf ein neues interdisziplinares und mehrsprachiges Projekt, das Interviews an junge Leute mit internationaler Geschichte in Deutschland analysiert, in denen sie nach ihren Erfahrungen gefragt werden (wie sie die Arbeits-/und Ausbildungssituation, den Wohnungsmarkt, den Umgang der Behörden mit ihnen und die Möglichkeit neue Leute kennen zu lernen empfinden). Das Projekt beabsichtigt, in den Interviews mit den Jugendlichen sprachliche Phänomene zu identifizieren und zu analysieren, die wir unter der Überschrift „Sprache oder Grammatik der Zugehörigkeit“ (Meinhof/Galasiński 2005) zusammenfassen wollen, wobei wir uns auf die Art und Weise konzentrieren, in der die verwendete Sprache an der Konstruktion und Bestätigung multipler Identitäten beteiligt ist, die sich überschneiden, herausfordern oder ergänzen. Tatsächlich werden Vielfalt und Bewegung, und außerdem die Überwindung der Grenze zwischen Ländern, Sprachen und Kulturen in den Interviews mit jungen Menschen, die die Erfahrung der Migration leben und sich in einer anderen Sprache als ihrer Muttersprache ausdrücken, besonders berücksichtigt. Durch den Bezug auf interkulturelle Erfahrungen und die Konzepte der interkulturellen Germanistik stellen diese Texte daher interessantes Material für interdisziplinäre Studien dar, die vor allem die Sprache untersuchen. Erste theoretische Bezüge finden sich bei Wodak et al. (1999). In ihren Studien richten sie ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf Lexik und Syntax, um die Konstruktion von „Einheit, Differenz, Einzigartigkeit, Ursprung, Kontinuität, Veränderung, Autonomie, Heteronomie“ zu extrapolieren. Danach hat sich De Fina (2003) auf die narrativen Aspekte konzentriert, die zur Identitätskonstruktion verwendet werden. Allerdings mangelt es sowohl der Studie von Wodak et al. als auch der von De Fina an Systematik und Vollständigkeit für die Untersuchung des Identitätsdiskurses. Tatsächlich bedient sich die verwendete Sprache des gesamten Spektrums sprachlicher Mittel, so dass Zeit, Ort und Person die Positionierung des Sprechers als Zugehöriger zu einer bestimmten Gruppe ermöglichen, mit der er sich diskursiv identifiziert. Daher sollten zeitliche, räumliche und persönliche Bezüge nicht von dem Kontext getrennt werden, in dem sie auftreten. Die Diskursanalyse orientiert sich am Text, der selbst multifunktional und intertextuell ist. In Anlehnung an Faircloughs Modell (1989, 1992) erfolgt die Annäherung an den Text über Wortschatz, Grammatik und Textstruktur.This contribution is based on the first steps of a new interdisciplinary and multilingual project that analyses interviews with young people with a migration background in Germany in which they are asked about their experiences (how they perceive the employment/training situation, the housing market, the way the authorities deal with them and the opportunity to meet new people). The project intends to identify and analyse linguistic phenomena in the interviews, which will be summarised under the heading “language or grammar of belonging” (Meinhof/Galasiński 2005), focusing on the ways in which the language used is involved in the construction and affirmation of multiple identities that intersect, challenge or complement each other. In fact, diversity and movement, and moreover overcoming the boundary between countries, languages and cultures, are particularly considered in the interviews with young people living the experience of migration and expressing themselves in a language other than their mother tongue. By referring to intercultural experiences and the concepts of intercultural German studies, these texts therefore represent valid material for interdisciplinary studies that primarily examine language. First theoretical references can be found in Wodak et al. (1999). In their studies, they focus their attention on lexis and syntax in order to extrapolate the construction of “unity, difference, uniqueness, origin, continuity, change, autonomy, heteronomy”. Subsequently, De Fina (2003) has focused on the narrative aspects used to construct identity. However, both Wodak et al.’s and De Fina’s study lack systematicity and completeness for the study of identity discourse. In fact, the language used makes use of the whole spectrum of linguistic devices, so that time, place and person enable the positioning of the speaker as belonging to a certain group with which he or she discursively identifies. Therefore, temporal, spatial and personal references should not be separated from the context in which they occur. Discourse analysis is oriented towards the text, which is itself intertextual. Following also Fairclough’s model (1989, 1992), the approach to the text is through lexis, grammar and text structure
Language tandems as an instrument for evaluating the acquisition of intercultural competence in the German-Spanish language learning process
No full textAusgangspunkt des vorliegenden Beitrags ist ein virtuelles Sprachtandem zwischen spanisch- und deutschlernenden Studierenden der Universitäten Trier (Deutschland) und Murcia (Spanien). Die Sitzungen des Sprachaustausches, die wöchentlich im Zeitraum eines Semesters in Paaren und per Videokonferenz stattfanden, wurden aufgezeichnet und dienten als Grundlage für die Erarbeitung eines Bewertungsrasters, dessen Validität anschließend an den Projektergebnissen selbst überprüft wurde. Der Einsatz eines Erhebungsbogens, in dem die Teilnehmenden zu interkulturellen Aspekten und ihrer konkreten persönlichen Entwicklung diesbezüglich befragt wurden, diente den Dozentinnen zur internen Bewertung und zur Überprüfung des Erreichens der Projektziele. Beide Methoden, sowohl das Bewertungsraster als auch der Erhebungsbogen, stellten sich als valide Werkzeuge zur Bewertung der interkulturellen Kompetenz heraus.The aim of this paper is to describe the development and the results of a virtual language tandem between Spanish and German language students from the Universities of Trier (Germany) and Murcia (Spain). The sessions of the language exchange, which took place in pairs via conference weekly during a term were recorded and served as the basis for the development of an evaluation grid, the validity of which was subsequently tested on the project results. A survey, in which the participants were asked about intercultural aspects and their concrete personal development in this regard, was used for internal evaluation and to check the achievement of the project goal. Both evaluation methods turned out to be valid tools for assessing intercultural competence
About the Baruffe chiozzotte relocated to Dubrovnik: the tradaptator to the reader
No full textThe localized translation of Carlo Goldoni’s Baruffe chiozzotte into the idiom of Dubrovnik, carried out by Morana Čale specifically for the performance directed by Krešimir Dolenčić as part of the 2025 Dubrovnik Summer Festival theater season, occupies the central part of the contribution and is accompanied by an introductory presentation and a technical- grammatical explanation included at the end, both of which are signed by the translator/adaptor. The prefatory text aims to situate the translation-adaptation - designated by the neologism tradattamento, modelled on the English word “tradaptation” - in the context of Dubrovnik’s centuries-old theatrical tradition, which is both original and rich in adaptations, ranging from the comedies of Marin Držić (in Italian, Marino Darsa), which inaugurated the comedic genre in the sixteenth century, to the French-inspired works that flourished in the eighteenth century, up to the most relevant examples of Ragusan and Croatian adaptations, especially Goldonian, from the last hundred years. After a reasoned review of the linguistic models available in the dramaturgical history of Dubrovnik that could serve as the most suitable for the new Ragusanization of Goldoni’s famous comedy, the argument is made in favour of the translator’s adoption of the sixteenth-century language found in Držić’s comedies as the best choice for at least two reasons. Firstly, the Darsian language guarantees, for various reasons, a satisfactory degree of communicability between the performance and the contemporary audience, whether Ragusan or more generally Croatian, in line with Goldoni’s ideas on the necessity of adapting the text to the culture and taste of the audience. Furthermore, considering the documented sense of discomfort expressed by the Ragusan people in recent decades regarding the progressive loss of the Ragusan dialect, the more dated literary and theatrical model, while also being less overloaded with foreign terms compared to later cultural and lexical overlays, seems, according to the opinion of the translator, to favour the collective need for recovery - more symbolic than likely - of a common linguistic background. The concluding section provides information about the Ragusan setting, regarding anthroponyms, toponyms, folkloric and cultural elements, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions. It highlights the reuse of citation elements drawn from the dramatic works of the Ragusan tradition, particularly from the comedies of Marin Držić. Finally, the main differences are noted between the text of the adaptation, characterized by a seemingly archaizing position, and the modifications, mostly morphosyntactic, made by Dolenčić’s ensemble to the Ragusanized text by Morana Čale.La traduzione localizzata delle Baruffe chiozzotte goldoniane nella parlata di Dubrovnik, realizzata da Morana Čale appositamente per la rappresentazione sotto la regia di Krešimir Dolenčić nell’ambito della stagione teatrale del Festival di Dubrovnik del 2025, occupa la parte centrale del contributo ed è corredata da una presentazione introduttiva e da una spiegazione di carattere tecnico-grammaticale inserita in coda, queste ultime sempre firmate dalla traduttrice/ adattatrice. Il testo prefatorio si propone di situare la traduzione-adattamento – designata col neologismo tradattamento – nel contesto della secolare tradizione teatrale di Dubrovnik. La sezione conclusiva dà notizie sull’ambientazione ragusea, riguardanti gli antroponimi, i toponimi, gli elementi folklorici e culturali, il lessico e l’idiomatica. Viene messo in rilievo il riutilizzo di elementi citazionali tratti dalle opere drammatiche della tradizione ragusea, in modo particolare dalle commedie di Marin Držić. Infine, vengono segnalate le principali differenze fra il testo del tradattamento e le modifiche apportate dall’ensemble di Dolenčić
Leveraging the OpenAIRE Graph for Transparent and Responsible Research Assessment
No full textA key element of Reforming Research Assessment (RRA) practices is to move away from simplistic approaches based on bibliometric indicators and consider a wide variety of research activities. Existing large-scale data collections cover a broader range of research output such as publications, data, software, research methods, patents, data management plans and tools. The current challenge is the lack of a robust, high-quality open infrastructure
Underwater archaeological research in the bay of Caska on the island of Pag
No full textPodmorsko arheološko istraživanje u uvali Caski na otoku Pagu nastavilo se u vremenu od 4. do 19. svibnja 2024. godine. Tijekom prvog tjedna radovi su započeli u Zoni D Sektora 1, na mjestu gdje su zaustavljeni prošle godine. Drugog tjedna, uzimajući u obzir nova otkrića, istraživanje se nastavilo u maloj uvali jugoistočno od Tunere, zvanoj Mala Pošta. Na tom mjestu otkriven je niz pilona koji su vjerojatno podržavali drvenu operativnu obalu uz veliki potporni zid, izgrađen s ciljem sprječavanja erozije. Na položaju Mrke stene, dalje u smjeru uvalice Pod bužu, otkriveni su ostatci još jednog potopljenog broda. S obzirom na to da je do otkrića došlo posljednjega radnog dana, istraživanje broda planira se tijekom iduće istraživačke kampanje.Underwater archaeological research in the bay of Caska on the island of Pag continued from May 4 to 19, 2024. During the first week, work resumed in Zone D of Sector 1, where it had stopped last year. In the second week, taking into account new discoveries, research continued in a small cove southeast of Tunera, called Mala Pošta. At this location, a row of wooden poles was discovered that probably supported operational waterfront along a large retaining wall, built to prevent erosion. At the location of Mrke Stene, further in the direction of Pod bužu cove, the remains of another scuttled boat were discovered. Given that the discovery occurred on the last working day, further investigation of the wreck is planned for the next research campaign
Soline on the island of Korčula – research in 2024
No full textU sklopu projekta Hrvatske zaklade za znanost (Potopljena neolitička nalazišta u podmorju hrvatskog dijela Jadrana IP-2022-10-3893), tijekom svibnja 2024. provedena su podmorska arheološka istraživanja na lokalitetu Soline. Istraživanjem površine 3 x 6 metara, definiran je kraj unutarnje strane obalnog zida. Istraživani je prostor povišeniji u odnosu na ostale dijelove obalnog zida, te najvjerojatnije pronađena konstrukcija pripada fortifikacijama koje su dio ulaznog dijela u kasnoneolitičko naselje. As part of the Croatian Science Foundation project (Undersea Neolithic sites in the Croatian Adriatic IP-2022-10-3893), underwater archaeological research was conducted at the Soline site in May 2024. The end of the inner side of the coastal wall was defined by exploring an area of 3 x 6 meters. The investigated area is higher than other parts of the coastal wall, and the structure found most likely belongs to the fortifications that are part of the entrance to the late Neolithic settlement
The police and Politics of Literature in the Novel Vježbanje života [The Exercise of Life] by Nedjeljko Fabrio
No full textU ovom se radu motre policija i politika književnosti u rancièreovskom smislu u romanu Vježbanje života (1985.) Nedjeljka Fabrija (1937. – 2018.). Naime, Jacques Rancière (1940.) estetiku je prizemljio s visina čiste umjetnosti prema zajedničkoj stvarnosti oblika i transformacija osjetilnog iskustva, što je vidljivo u eseju Le Partage du sensible iz 2000. godine. Njegova je teorija postala poticajan okvir za domišljanje inventivnih načina povezivanje političke teorije i estetike. On u svom kritičkim sustavu razlikuje policiju i politiku književnosti. Kada se motri policija književnosti u romanu Vježbanje života, uočavaju se razne političke rasprave, iznošenje osobnih stavova protagonista o pojedinim (političkim) pitanjima i kritika društva u kojem živimo i radimo. Fabrio na posve nov način provodi podjelu osjetilnog što je vidljivo u upotrebi različitih narativnih strategija u romanu. Umeće on brojne priče u priči, unosi različite oblike tekstova, koristi brojna tipografska rješenja i nadilazi tradicionalne žanrovske odlike prisutne u romanu. Upotreba tih narativnih strategija, neuobičajenih za prozna djela u hrvatskoj književnosti do pojave Vježbanja života, razgolićuje politiku književnosti sustavno provedenu na razini cijeloga romana Nedjeljka Fabrija. Autor progovara o raznim temama i pritom je zaštićen od svakog tipa cenzure (političke, religijske, i sl.) baš putem književnosti. Sloboda koju književnost nudi autoru je „moćno političko oružje, koje ipak može u trenutku biti neutralizirano kao fikcija” (Derrida).This paper explores the police and politics of literature in the Rancière sense in the novel Vježbanje života [The Exercise of Life] (1985) by Nedjeljko Fabrio (1937-2018). Namely, Jacques Rancière (1940) grounded aesthetics from the heights of pure art towards the common reality of forms and transformations of sensory experience, which is evident in the essay Le Partage du sensible from 2000. His theory became a stimulating framework for coming up with inventive ways of connecting political theory and aesthetics. In his critical system, he distinguishes between the police and politics of literature. When looking at the police of literature in the novel Vježbanje života [The Exercise of Life], one can see various political debates, the presentation of the protagonist’s personal views on certain (political) issues, and criticism of the society in which we live. Fabrio carries out the division of the sensory in a completely new way, which is visible in the use of different narrative strategies in the novel. He inserts numerous stories into the story, introduces different forms of texts, uses numerous typographical solutions, and goes beyond the traditional genre characteristics present in the novel. The use of these narrative strategies, unusual for prose works until the appearance of Vježbanje života [The Exercise of Life], lays bare the literary policy systematically conducted at the level of the entire novel by Nedjeljko Fabrio. The author speaks about various topics and is protected from any type of censorship (political, religious, etc.) precisely through literature. The freedom that literature offers the author is “a powerful political weapon, which can nevertheless be neutralized at a moment’s notice as fiction” (Derrida)
