Miloš Crnjanski e l’esperienza del Mediterraneo
No full textThis study explores the poetic and intellectual development of Miloš Crnjanski, focusing on his engagement with Mediterranean cultural spaces and the legacy of classical antiquity. Crnjanski’s early experiences in the multicultural Adriatic city of Rijeka, combined with personal loss and his polyglot education, shaped a literary voice that challenged the nationalistic narratives of early 20th-century literature. His seminal poetry collection Lirika Itake (The Lyrics of Ithaca) reimagines the Odyssean return not as heroic triumph but as a traumatic reckoning with modernity, exile, and the collapse of traditional values. Deeply influenced by classical literature, European modernism, and Mediterranean history, Crnjanski developed Sumatraism, a poetic-philosophical vision grounded in cosmopolitanism and the transformation of suffering into aesthetic transcendence. Through works such as Dnevnik o Čarnojeviću (The Diary about Čarnojević), Crnjanski destabilizes fixed identities, employing fragmented narrative structures and psychological complexity. His engagement with cultural plurality - linking Pannonia, the Adriatic, and the broader Mediterranean - positioned him as a cultural mediator between East and West, North and South. Crnjanski’s poetic geography, spanning from Galicia to Sumatra, blends memory, trauma, and myth to articulate the modern subject’s dislocation. His late reflections, including a 1967 speech in Italian, affirm his belief in poetic internationalism and the indestructibility of the cultural past. Misunderstood by many contemporaries, Crnjanski’s opus anticipates postmodern concerns with hybridity, exile, and the crisis of meaning.L’articolo si prefigge di esaminare lo sviluppo poetico e intellettuale di Miloš Crnjanski, concentrandosi sul suo rapporto con gli spazi culturali mediterranei e l’eredità dell’antichità classica. Le prime esperienze di Crnjanski nella città adriatica multiculturale di Fiume, unite al dolore personale e a un’educazione poliglotta, hanno formato una voce letteraria che sfida le narrazioni nazionalistiche della letteratura del primo Novecento. La sua raccolta poetica seminale, Lirika Itake („Le liriche di Itaca“), reinterpreta il ritorno omerico non come un trionfo eroico, ma come un confronto traumatico con la modernità, l’esilio e il crollo dei valori tradizionali. Profondamente influenzato dalla letteratura classica, dal modernismo europeo e dalla storia mediterranea, Crnjanski sviluppò il sumatraismo, una visione poetico-filosofica fondata sul cosmopolitismo e sulla trasformazione della sofferenza in trascendenza estetica. Attraverso opere come Dnevnik o Čarnojeviću („Il diario su Čarnojević“), Crnjanski destabilizza le identità fisse, utilizzando strutture narrative frammentate e una complessità psicologica. Il suo impegno con la pluralità culturale - collegando la Pannonia, l’Adriatico e il più ampio Mediterraneo - lo posiziona come mediatore culturale tra Est e Ovest, Nord e Sud. La geografia poetica di Crnjanski, che si estende dalla Galizia a Sumatra, fonde memoria, trauma e mito per esprimere lo sradicamento del soggetto moderno. Le sue riflessioni più tarde, tra cui un discorso in italiano del 1967, confermano la sua fede nell’internazionalismo poetico e nell’indistruttibilità del passato culturale. Incompreso da molti contemporanei, l’opera di Crnjanski anticipa le tematiche postmoderne della ibridazione, dell’esilio e della crisi del significato

Kopila - Podgrađe
No full textU jesen 2024. godine na podgradinskom dijelu kasnoprapovijesnog naselja Kopila na otoku Korčuli provedena su manja arheološka iskopavanja probnog karaktera. S obzirom na to da je riječ o prostoru u prošlosti podvrgnutom intenzivnoj agrarnoj kultivaciji, primarni cilj zahvata bio je utvrditi stanje arheoloških depozita kako bi se planirao daljnji pristup istraživanju ovog važnog lokaliteta.In the autumn of 2024, small-scale archaeological trial excavations were carried out in the sub-hillfort part of the late prehistoric settlement of Kopila on the island of Korčula. Given that this is an area that was subjected to intensive agricultural cultivation in the past, the primary goal of the project was to determine the condition of the archaeological deposits in order to plan further approach to the research of this important site

Constitution of Subject and Identity in Anna Baar’s Novel Als ob sie träumend gingen
No full textDer Beitrag thematisiert die Subjekt- und Identitätskonstitutionen im Roman Als ob sie träumend gingen von Anna Baar innerhalb eines literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskurses und versucht die Entfremdungserscheinungen im Text aufzuzeigen. Bei dem Roman handelt es sich um einen narrativen Text, der Historizität, vor allem die Kriegsszenarien im Raum des Mittelmeeres, verfremdet und als Ausdruck von Erinnerungen darlegt. Die Selbsterkenntnis des Protagonisten beruht auf einer Dynamik von Identität und Alterität, bei der es zu einer Hinterfragung des Wechselspiels zwischen Eigenem und Fremdem kommt. Das Fremde wird durch den zunehmenden Verlust der Liebe, des Vertrauens und der Menschlichkeit gekennzeichnet. Dalmatien als Erfahrungsraum korreliert mit der Existenznot literarischer Figuren und mit ihrer Abgrenzung vom kulturellen Anderen. Die distanzierte Erzählinstanz verweist auf die gesellschaftliche Ausgrenzung der literarischen Hauptfigur und ihre Suche nach Orientierung im fremden Alltag.Der Beitrag thematisiert die Subjekt- und Identitätskonstitutionen im Roman Als ob sie träumend gingen von Anna Baar innerhalb eines literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskurses und versucht die Entfremdungserscheinungen im Text aufzuzeigen.

The novel is a narrative text that alienates historicity, especially the war scenarios in Mediterranean region, and represents them as an expression of memories. The self-knowledge of the protagonist is based on an identity-alterity dynamic that leads to a questioning of the interplay of self and other. Foreignness is charac terized by an increasing loss of love, trust, and humaneness. Dalmatia as experiential space correlates with existential necessity of literary figures and their dissociation from the cultural other. The distanced narrative instance refers to social exclusion of the protagonist and his search for orientation in foreign everyday life
The use of modal verbs in legal texts A German-Croatian case study
No full textIn Mittelpunkt dieser Fallstudie steht der Gebrauch der Modalverben als Ausdrucksmittel der objektiven Modalität. Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind die Vorschriften aus dem deutschen Steuerrecht zur Ausstellung von Rechnungen und die entsprechenden Vorschriften des kroatischen Mehrwertsteuergesetzes. Der deutsche sowie der kroatische Normtext wurdenzuerst quantitativ analysiert und anschließend einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring (2015) unterzogen. Die Frequenzanalyse belegt, dass das Modalverb können am häufigsten im deutschen Text vorkommt und das Modalverb morati (müssen) im kroatischen Text. Außerdem wurde festgestellt, dass im deutschen Text fast genauso viele Modalverben wie Modalitätsverben und Konstruktionen mit „sein/ haben + Infinitiv“ und „verpflichtet sein + zu + Infinitiv“ vorkommen. Im kroatischen Text hingegen überwiegen die Modalverben, wobei die Konstruktion „je obvezan“ (ist verpflichtet) im Verhältnis zu den Modalverben nur einen Anteil von einem Viertel hat. Die Ergebnisse dieser Fallstudie dienen als Anregung zu umfangreicheren Analysen an weiteren Texten des Steuerrechts in der deutschen und kroatischen Sprache.The focus of this case study is the use of modal verbs as a means of expressing objective modality. The subject of the investigation are the provisions of German tax law for issuing invoices and the corresponding provisions of the Croatian VAT law. The German and Croatian normative text were first analyzed quantitatively and then subjected to a qualitative contentanalysis according to Mayring (2015). The frequency analysis shows that the modal verb können (can) occur most frequently in the German text and the modal verb morati (must) in the Croatian text. It was also found that in the German text there are as many modal verbs as there are modality verbs and constructions with “sein / haben + Infinitiv” (be / have + infinitive) and “verpflichtet sein + zu + Infinitiv” (be obliged + to + infinitive). In the Croatian text, on the other hand, the modalverbs predominate, whereby the construction “je obvezan” (is obligatory) has only a quarter of the modal verbs. The results of this case study serve as a stimulus for more extensive analysis of further texts on tax law in the German and Croatian languages
frömde selczame ding in the traveler’s gaze The construction of intercultural spaces in Konrad Grünemberg’s late medieval account of his pilgrimage to Jerusalem
No full textIn der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts machten sich zahlreiche christliche Pilger auf die beschwerliche und gefährliche Reise nach Jerusalem. Das dabei zu überquerende Mittelmeer, konkret die Überfahrt von Venedig und Jaffa, wird in den Berichten der Pilger als zu überwindender Gefahren-, aber auch als interkultureller Begegnungsraum wahrgenommen und narrativ konstruiert. Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert die Konstruktion dieses interkulturellen Raumes am Beispiel des Pilgerberichts Konrad Grünembergs, der 1486 nach Jerusalem reiste. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Pilger je nach ihrem Bildungsgrad und ihrer Sozialisation unterschiedliche interkulturelle Raumschichten wahrnehmen und konstruieren, die sich hinsichtlich ihres Abstraktionsgrads unterscheiden.In the second half of the 15th century, numerous Christian pilgrims set out on the arduous and dangerous journey to Jerusalem. The Mediterranean Sea that had to be crossed, specifically the crossing from Venice and Jaffa, is perceived in the pilgrims’ accounts as a space of danger to be overcome, but also as an intercultural space of encounter, and is constructed in narrative terms. This article analyses the construction of this intercultural space using the example of the pilgrimage account of Konrad Grünemberg, who travelled to Jerusalem in 1486. The analysis shows that the pilgrims, depending on their level of education and their respective socialisation, perceive and construct different intercultural spatial layers that differ in terms of their degree of abstraction
