A folkloristic image of homeland in the novel „The Issa valley“ by Czesław Miłosz
No full texte-ISSN 2029-8692The article reveals that the novel The Issa valley by Czesław Miłosz aims to represent the Issa valley as a preserver of an archaic cultural heritage, mainly by using folklore genres which have preserved mythical thinking (mythological songs, belief legends and historical legends). It may be observed that nearly all folklore material at least in some detail is associated with the river Issa – the fulcrum of the represented world. In the novel, folklore material is employed when the author seeks to reveal a junction of paganism and Christianity and the battle between them, which continues both in the collective world outlook of the inhabitants of the Issa valley and in the inner world of a particular person. Orienting himself to folkloristic prototypes, the author in his novel epitomizes individual characters. Moreover, the article discloses that mythological songs about the Sun and the Moon, which in the novel are introduced as registered on the river Issa (Nevėžis is a prototype of Issa), in reality are taken from a song collection by L. Rėza Dainos oder Litthauische Volkslieder (1825), published in Lithuania Minor.Kultūrų studijų katedra / Department of Cultural StudiesHumanitarinių mokslų fakultetas / Faculty of HumanitiesVytauto Didžiojo universitetas / Vytautas Magnus Universit
PEMAKNAAN SIMBOL MATSU (マツ) DALAM ANTOLOGI HAIKU ISSA AND BEING HUMAN KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA 「Issa And Being Human」という俳句のアンソロジにおけるマツのシンボの意味『記号論研究』
No full textABSTRACT
Azzahra, Qonita. 2018. "Meaning of the Matsu Symbol (マツ) in the Anthology of Haiku Issa And Being Human Semiotics Study". Thesis S1 Japanese Language and Culture Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Diponegoro University. Supervisor Nur Hastuti, S.S., M.Hum.
This study examines the meaning of the pine symbol found in Kobayashi Issa's haiku and the relation between the pine symbol and the background of Issa's life. The author will analyze five haiku which contain pine symbols, from the anthology of Issa And Being Human Haiku (Lanoue in 2017). This study aims to find the meaning of pine symbols and how they relate to the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa.
The method used in this study is literature study. Whereas to analyze the meaning of the pine symbol found in haiku, uses the semiotic theory of C.S. Peirce. After knowing the true meaning of the pine symbol, the author then relates it to the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa. This way is to find out if there is a connection between the pine symbols and the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa.
From the analysis, it is known that the symbol of pine could mean strength, fortitude, kindness, longevity, and a bright future / luck. While the relationship between the pine symbol and the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa is as a description of the properties that Issa has or wants. Living side by side with pine trees makes Issa very understanding of the true characters of pine. That is why he put a lot of pine symbols into his haiku to describe his own nature.
Keywords: semiotics, Kobayashi Issa, symbol of pine, Issa's life
A contribution to the study of Gnathia ware from Issa
No full textKeramika tipa Gnathia pronađena je na 38 nalazišta duž istočne
obale Jadrana i bliže mu unutrašnjosti. Ipak, najviše posuda te
keramičke vrste pronađeno je u antičkoj Isi. Brojnost i određene
značajke u obliku i ukrasu na posudama iz Ise otvorile su
pretpostavku o lokalnoj isejskoj proizvodnji keramike tipa
Gnathia. Prvi je tu pretpostavku iznio Branko Kirigin. Na temelju
proučavanja grobnog inventara s nekropole na Martvilu u Visu
podijelio je posude tipa Gnathia iz Ise u četiri faze. Autorica je
pomoću arheoloških komparativnih metoda analize dekoracije i
morfologije na svim dosad objavljenim posudama ove vrste na
istočnom Jadranu usporedila novije spoznaje o ovoj keramičkoj
vrsti s Kiriginovim tezama. Također je ponudila razvoj tipologije
posuda isejske keramike tipa Gnathia unutar kronološkog okvira
od sredine 3. do kraja 2. st. pr. Kr.Gnathia ware was found at 38 sites on the eastern Adriatic coast
and its immediate interior. Nonetheless, the most vessels of this
pottery type were found in Antique-era Issa. The high number
and specific characteristics in the shape and ornamentation on
the vessels from Issa have led to the hypothesis on local Issa
production of this pottery type. Branko Kirigin first stated this
hypothesis on the basis of study of the tomb inventory from the
necropolis at Martvilo in Vis, dividing the Gnathia vessels from
Issa into four phases. Using stylistic methods for the attribution
of painters and groups, analysis of morphology on all vessels thus
far published in the eastern Adriatic, the author compared new
knowledge on this pottery type with Kirigin’s theses. She also offers
a development of the typology of the Issa Gnathia ware vessels
inside a chronological framework from the mid-third to the end of
the second century BC
The Endurance of Palestinian Political Factions
No full textThe Endurance of Palestinian Political Factions is an ethnographic study of Palestinian political factions in Lebanon through an immersion in daily home life. Perla Issa asks how political factions remain the center of political life in the Palestinian camps in the face of mounting criticism. Through an examination of the daily, mundane practices of refugees in Nahr el-Bared camp in particular, this book shows how intimate, interpersonal, and kin-based relations are transformed into political networks and offers a fresh analysis of how those networks are in turn metamorphosed into political structures. By providing a detailed and intimate account of this process, this book reveals how factions are produced and reproduced in everyday life despite widespread condemnation. “Utilizing rich ethnographic fieldwork, Perla Issa provides an engaging analysis of Palestinian factions in the refugee camp of Nahr el-Bared. Her book illuminates the centrality of political factions to quotidian social interactions and the rhythms of everyday life.” Adam Hanieh, author of Money, Markets, and Monarchies: The Gulf Cooperation Council and the Political Economy of the Contemporary Middle East “How do political factions maintain centrality in Palestinian political life even when they are widely unpopular and even delegitimized? How are such factions reproduced in the face of widespread condemnation? The questions that animate this manuscript are vitally important.” Ilana Feldman, author of Life Lived in Relief: Humanitarian Predicaments and Palestinian Refugee Politic

ALTO-ADRIATICO VASES FROM ISSA
No full textU ovom prilogu obrađuju se slikane vaze tipa"Alto-Adriatico" otkrivene na nekropolama antičke Isse, a koje pripadaju kraju 4. i početku 3. st. stare ere. Autor se osvrće i na ostale nalaze ovih vaza na sjevernom i srednjem Jadranu te donosi sva relevantna mišljenja o ovoj produkciji. Posebno se bavi datacijom ovih vaza te zastupa mišljenje da se one nisu tako dugo proizvodile kako se smatra u dosadašnjoj literaturi.Na kraju je dan katalog vaza.In this paper 10 oinohoai of the Alto-Adriatico style from Issa are published. A short history and bibliography of the study of these vases is presented at the beginning of the paper. A distribution map of these vases which are found on 10 sites is given (fig. 1) and also a quantitative figure (fig. 2) of shapes and number of vases found on sites. All together15 shapes and 373 vases of Alto-Adriatico style are known. From this it is evident that the production and distribution is restricted to the north and central Adriatic and that the concentration is in Spina (180) and Adria (11O). All the known vases are found in graves what strongly suggests their funerary function.The vases from Issa could be dated in the late 4th cent. B. C. and probably in the very early 3rd cent. B.C. In Issa they are found on 3 cemeteries but all the vases are similar in shape, decoration and fabric. It could be that these vases came from Spina or from Adria (?) together with grain or ores which the Isseians needed. The fact that the number of Alto-Adriatico vases is very small and that not many painters (hands) can be distinguished made the author think that the production did not lastlong, i.e. from the mid 4th cent. B. C. to the early 3rd. cent. B. C.Although the vases belong to the Hellenistic period they are not Hellenistic but an late provincial offspring of redfigured vases of the classical period.At the end of the paper a detailed catalogue of the published vases is given
