    SUZANA THE PURE BY MAVRO VETRANOVIĆ

    No full text
    Budući da se Vetranovićevoj Suzani čistoj uglavnom pristupalo kao “djetetu svoga vremena”, a ne kao djelu s univerzalnom porukom, autor novim pristupom, sa “suvremene promatračnice”, u ovom prikazanju otkriva trajne vrijednosti koje nadilaze vremensko-prostorna obzorja i koje su trajno aktualne. Preuzevši tematiku biblijskoga teksta, Vetranović je nastojao humanistički i kršćanski angažirati čovjeka pokazujući mu da razum, istina, čistoća i pravednost u konačnici uvijek pobjeđuju bezumnost, niske strasti i laž. U članku su također istražene dramaturško-teatrološke, jezično-stilske i ine osobitosti te pitanje autorstva ovoga djela. Iako se ne može potvrditi da je Suzana čista izvođena na pozornici, u tekstu je vidljiva nakana izvedbe. Što se pak autorstva tiče, ovaj se tekst uzima kao najmanje sporan u Vetranovićevu dramskom opusu prikazanjskih tekstova. O tome svjedoči podrobnija jezična i stilska analiza.Since Vetranović’s Suzana the pure was mostly approached to as the “child of their time” and not as the work with a universal message, the author with a new approach, from the “contemporary observation post”, in this presentation reveals the permanent values which exceed spatiotemporal visions and which are permanently topical. Taking over the theme of Biblical text, Vetranović wanted to engage a man humanistically and in the Christian way showing him that mind, truth, pureness and justice eventually win irrationality, low passions and lies. The article also explored the dramaturgical-theatrological, linguisticstylistic and other characteristics and question of the authorship of this work. Although it cannot be confirmed that Suzana the pure was preformed on the stage, the intention of performance is visible in the text. As far as the authorship is concerned this text is taken as the least debatable in Vetranović’s drama opus of performing texts. More detailed language and stylistic analysis gives good evidence for that

    Autor opisuje duhovno vodstvo (očinstvo) s posebnim osvrtom na lik starca Zosime u romanu "Braća Karamazovi" F. M. Dostojevskog. Na početku podsjeća kako je duhovno vodstvo poznato već u prvim stoljećima Crkve te postoji sve do danas. Duhovni vođe starci prisutni su stoljećima u Ruskoj pravoslavnoj crkvi. Iskazuju se svojom istinskom duhovnošću, poznavanjem Božje riječi i ljubavlju prema Bogu i bližnjemu. Starac Zosima u romanu "Braća Karamazovi" prikaz je uzornog duhovnog vođe, starca. Autor analizira njegov lik u romanu, njegove duhovne pouke i razgovore, odnos prema ljudima te napose prema Aljoši Karamazovu.Der Autor schildert die geistliche Leitung (Vaterschaft) mit einem besonderen Rückblick auf die Gestalt vom Alten Zosima im Roman von F. M. Dostojevski "Brüder Karamazovi". Zu Beginn erinnert er daran, dass die geistliche Leitung schon in den ersten Jahrhunderten der Kirche bekannt ist und und existiert bis heutzutage. Die geistliche Leiter, Alten, sind seit Jahrhunderten in der Russichen orthodoxen Kirche präsent. Sie zeichnen sich aus durch ihre authentische Geistlichkeit, ihre Kenntnisse des Wort Gottes und ihre Liebe dem Gott und Mitmenschen gegenüber. Der Alte Zosima im Roman "Brüder Karamazovi" ist eine vorbildliche Darstellung des geistlichen Leiters, des Alten. Der Autor analysiert seine Gestalt im Roman, seine geistliche Belehrungen und Gespräche, Beziehung zu den Menschen und insbesondere Aljoša Karamazov gegenüber

    METAPHOR IN THE GOSPEL CODING: CASE STUDY THE GOSPEL OF LUKE

    No full text
    U radu se najprije nastojalo sažeto prikazati povijesni pregled najvažnijih teorijâ metafore koje se mogu pratiti od Aristotelova sustavnog proučavanja u dvjema zasebnim područjima, retorici i poetici, pa sve do novijih istraživanja u kognitivnoj lingvistici i semantici. Glavne postavke najvažnijih teoretičara metafore koje su iznesene poslužile su kao okvir u kojemu su se promotrili i raščlanili pojedinačni primjeri metaforâ u Lukinu Evanđelju. U analitičkome je dijelu izdvojeno i opisano nekoliko biblijskih pojmova (srce, kralj, kraljevstvo Božje, vjera i kuća) važnih za razumijevanje središnje evanđeoske poruke.The paper seeks first to give a summarized historical overview of the most significant metaphor theories that can be followed from Aristotle’s systematic studying in two separate areas, rhetoric and poetics, to contemporary research in cognitive linguistics and semantics. The paper describes the main tenets of the most important metaphor theorists which should serve as the framework in which the work on corpus is conducted, analysis of individual examples of metaphors in the Gospel of Luke. At the same time, we would like to emphasize that that is not the only, exclusive model of the analysis, but it contains a lot of its own contribution on the basis of the previous knowledge on metaphor. The reason for such approach can be found in the specific nature of the Biblical text, which is as a whole or in individual parts inherently metaphoric. The mentioned claims can be confirmed in the examples of metaphors from the Gospel of Luke, metaphor examples that put into words Biblical terms important for understanding the central Gospel message. The metaphor examples are taken from the Bible published by Kršćanska sadašnjost, translation of the New Testament by Friar Ljudevit Rupčić, PhD

    Cilj se ovoga rada prepoznaje u sustavnu prikazu i opisu metaforâ i gestâ u četirima Evanđeljima na postavkama teorije konceptualne metafore koja se razvija u kognitivnoj lingvistici krajem osamdesetih godina dvadesetoga stoljeća i temelji se na preslikavanju iz jedne pojmovne domene u drugu na temelju sličnosti. Polazeći od te postavke u kognitivnoj se lingvistici naglašava da su verbalni izrazi samo jedan od oblika u kojemu se metafora može pojaviti. Geste su također jedan vid izraza metafore. Povećano zanimanje za geste kao neverbalne metaforičke izraze počinje devedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća, što se odrazilo i na proučavanje odnosa između metafore i geste. Opis metaforâ i gestâ u evanđeoskim tekstovima usmjeren je na njihovu snagu izražavanja i približavanja apstraktnih domena koje se ne mogu izreći doslovnim jezikom, ali ni pojmovno ni jezično neposredno razumjeti. U reprezentativnome prikazu izabrana je metafora pastira koja se pojavljuje u svim četirima Evanđeljima. Bit će vidljivo da metafora pastira odražava određeno bliskoistočno poimanje i znanje o svijetu, posebnu životnu povezanost između pastira i ovaca koja se u sinoptičkim Evanđeljima izravno ili neizravno preslikava na Isusa. Uvid u pojmovne strukture evanđeoskoga teksta i sržnu poruku nudi sedam samoobjaviteljskih metafora iz Ivanova Evanđelja kojima Isus predstavlja svoju ulogu u odnosu prema ljudima: „Ja sam kruh života“, „Ja sam svjetlost svijeta“, „Ja sam vrata (ovcama)“, „Ja sam pastir dobri“, „Ja sam uskrsnuće i život“, „Ja sam Put i Istina i Život“ i „Ja sam istinski trs“. Metaforama u drugome licu jednine: „Ti si Petar-Stijena...“ i u drugome licu množine: „Vi ste sol zemlje“ i „Vi ste svjetlost svijeta“ Isus također određuje i približava poslanje svojih učenika. Zaokruženu cjelinu promatranja metaforičnosti evanđeoskih tekstova čine odabrane geste, osobito one koje odražavaju apstraktne domene i sudjeluju u prenesenome značenju evanđeoske poruke, od kojih treba izdvojiti Judin poljubac i Pilatovo pranje ruku koji su ušli u frazeologiju mnogih jezika.The aim of the thesis is recognised in a systematic presentation and description of metaphors and gestures in the four Gospels on the basis of conceptual metaphor theory, which was developed in cognitive linguistics at the end of 1980s and is based on replicating out of one concept domain to another based on similarity. Starting from that assumption, cognitive linguistics emphasises that verbal expressions are only one of the forms in which a metaphor can appear. Gestures are also another form of expressing metaphors. An increased interest in gestures as nonverbal metaphoric expressions started in the 1990s, which was reflected in research on the relationship between metaphors and gestures. A description of metaphors and gestures in Gospel texts is directed at their strength of expression and approach to abstract domains which cannot be uttered literally, nor can they be either conceptually or linguistically directly understood. A metaphor of the shepherd who appears in all four Gospels was chosen in the representative demonstration. It will be seen that the metaphor of the shepherd reflects a certain Middle Eastern notion and knowledge about the world, a special life bond between the shepherd and the sheep which is directly or indirectly copied onto Jesus in the synoptic Gospels. An insight into conceptual structures of the Gospel text and the core message offers seven self-revelatory metaphors from the Gospel of John in which Jesus represents his relationship towards people: “I am the bread of life”, “I am the light of the world”, “I am the gate (for the sheep)”, “I am the good shepherd”, “I am the resurrection and the life”, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”, “I am the true vine”. Using second person singular metaphors: “You are Peter...” and second person plural metaphors: “You are the salt of the earth” and “You are the light of the world”, Jesus determines and draws closer the mission of his disciples. A full circle of viewing metaphoricity of the Gospel texts constitute the selected gestures, especially the ones which reflect abstract domains and participate in the message of the Gospel figuratively, where the kiss of Judas and Pilate washing his hands need to be isolated as they have entered the phraseology of many languages. The thesis is divided in three chapters and includes a theoretical part which is the basis and the framework within which the corpus research will be performed, i.e. the description and the analysis of individual examples of metaphors and gestures in the four Gospels. The first chapter will conceptually define metaphors firstly and mark their specificities and multiplicities which is the reason why they are being researched in many fields of science, e.g. philosophy, linguistics, psychology, theology. A historical overview of the most important theories of metaphor will follow the sequence from Aristotle’s definition and understanding the metaphor as a poetic device and a figure of speech which is based on borrowing and deviation from the literal use of language, all until cognitive linguistic and semantic definition of the metaphor as a cognitive tool and experience of the world. The choice of the authors and theoretical approaches shows the most important emphases in metaphor study which led to the cognitive theory of metaphor in which metaphors are presented as a foundation of thought, language and the understanding of the world. Along with the cognitive theory of metaphor, there grows an interest for gestures as nonverbal expressions of metaphor. That is the reason this theory will be the basis for describing metaphors and gestures in the Gospels. The second chapter refers to individual examples of metaphors in Gospel texts. It needs to be said that the Gospels are full of figurative speech, abstract notions and explicit metaphors. A metaphor is not simply a figure of speech which serves as a replacement or a fulfilment of conceptual and lexical voids, but it can be used simply, clearly and directly to approach the divine, invisible reality which transcends the visible world and physical experience. The greatest power of metaphors is exactly in the fact that we can mediate and explain something unavailable, unexperienced and unattempted based on the visible, available and experienced in the physical world. With this knowledge, it is easier to follow the description of the selected metaphors, starting with the metaphor of the shepherd which, as a repeating motif and symbol, finds its place in all four Gospels. In order to completely understand the importance of Jesus’s metaphor “I am the good shepherd, it was necessary to provide a historical, traditional and cultural framework from which it stemmed, as its rootedness in the Old Testament texts. All the other Jesus' self-revelatory metaphors, as well as metaphors in the second person singular and plural, require an interdisciplinary approach on a contextual, intertextual, philological and exegetical level. This approach should enable the discovery of an authentic meaning of these notions and their role in the creation of the theological message of each of the evangelists. A special contribution in this part of the thesis is the derivation of new conceptual metaphors. The last chapter includes gestures as nonverbal metaphorical expressions in Gospel texts. Same as with the analysis of metaphors, the first part of the chapter is the theoretical presentation of the gesture research, with a conceptual definition and relationship to metaphors and concludingly with the divisions certain authors have suggested. It is important to emphasize that gestures differ from other acts and movements by a communication characteristic, and in the Gospel texts gestures take part in the figurative sense with a precisely defined message and may not be taken literally. The metaphoricity of the described gestures stems firstly from the context and the Gospel message, but also from the cultural and linguistic background, which tried to reveal itself and connect to wider contextual frameworks. Certainly, that adds an additional value to this description. A division of gestures in the Gospels relies greatly on the division from the theoretical overview, except in the examples of Gospel gestures which by their roles and participation in communication do not fit in the established framework. Examples of this include the kiss of Judas, Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, writing with his finger in the sand, and Pilate washing his hands, all of which could be classified in a broad and general division of metaphorical gestures. By using an interdisciplinary approach, the set goal was reached – to systematically describe metaphors and gestures in the four Gospels beginning with their specificities and different understanding from everyday speech and other types of texts and to leave the door open for further research

    ZIMMERMANN’S CRITICS OF JASPER’S DENYING THE METAPHYSICAL COGNITION

    No full text
    U ovom radu autor sučeljava stavove Karla Jaspersa i Stjepana Zimmermanna o mogućnosti, dometu i zadaći metafizike kao razumske djelatnosti. Dok Jaspers drži da je razum neadekvatan medij kada je u pitanju transcendentna zbilja, pa stoga zadaća metafizike, prema njemu, ne može biti u spoznavanju objektivne istine o posljednjem temelju bitka, nego eventualno u osvjetljavanju prostorâ u kojima se susrećemo s cjelokupnim bitkom – dotle Zimmermann smatra da je racionalno utemeljenje metafizike nužno i jedino ispravno. Za Zimmermanna metafizika je moguća u prvom redu zato što se ona, kao i prirodne znanosti, temelji na empiriji i na idealnim sudovima. Zajednička im je i metoda deduktivnoga zaključivanja, a uzročnost im je zajednički “most” u nepojavnu stvarnost; samo što se prirodoznanstvenik ograničava na svoje specijalno područje, a metafizičar obuhvaća ukupnu nepojavnu stvarnost kao izvor pojavnoga svijeta i života.In this paper the author confronts Karl Jaspers and Stjepan Zimmermann’s attitudes about the possibility, range and scope of metaphysics as a rational activity. While Jaspers thinks that a mind is an inadequate medium as far as transcendental reality is concerned, so the scope of metaphysics, according to him, can’t be in conceiving objective truth about the last base of essence, than possibly in the lightening up the spaces in which we meet with entire essence – Zimmermann thinks that the rational establishment of metaphysics is necessary and correct. For Zimmerman metaphysics is possible in the first place because it is like natural sciences based on empiric quality and ideal judgments. The method of deductive inference and causality is for them a common “bridge” to the non-phenomenal reality; only a natural scientist restricts himself to this special area, and a metaphysician covers entire non-phenomenal reality as a source of phenomenal world and life

    FRANCISCAN STUDY OF PHILOSOPHY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

    Poslije kratka presjeka važnijih događaja vezanih uz povijest Franjevačke provincije Bosne Srebrene autor analizira važnije odredbe franjevačkoga zakonodavstva s obzirom na školstvo koje su omogućile njegov snažan razvoj u razdoblju poslije Tridentskoga koncila i koje su bitno utjecale ne organizaciju i rad franjevačkih obrazovnih ustanova na ovim prostorima. Poseban je naglasak na odredbama što su se odnosile na studij filozofije čija je svrha bila pripremiti studente za što kvalitetniji studij bogoslovije. S tim je ciljem na generalnom kapitulu franjevačkoga reda održanome u Rimu 1694. godine propisano da se filozofija predaje najmanje tri godine i da se u njezinu okviru studiraju summulae (logica minor), logika (logica maior), fizika, metafizika, animistika (znanost o duši), učenje o nastanku i propadanju tvari te kozmologija. Nastavni je sadržaj bio vezan uz učenje Ivana Duns Škota i Bonaventure. Metoda je bila strogo skolastička. Međutim, daljnje su reforme išle za približavanjem državnih i crkvenih sveučilišnih programa. Iz odredaba vezanih za studij filozofije u Bosni Srebrenoj vidljivo je da su provincijske uprave nastojale što dosljednije provoditi propise što ih je donosio general reda i, koliko je to bilo moguće, držati korak s trendovima na zapadnim učilištima. Kada to okolnosti nisu dopuštale, svoje su gojence slali na studij u inozemstvo.After a short review of more important events related to the history of the Franciscan province Silver Bosnia the author analyzes more significant regulations of the Franciscan legislature with regard to education which enabled its strong development in the period after the Trident Council and which had a strong influence on the organization and work of the Franciscan educational institutions in these areas. The special emphasis is on the regulations which referred to the study of philosophy, the purpose of which was to prepare students for the quality study of theology. With that goal the general Franciscan body of canons held in Rome in 1694 stipulated that philosophy must be taught at least three years and that in its framework summulae (logica minor), logics (logica maior), physics, metaphysics, science about soul, study about the emergence and decadence of a matter and cosmology must be learned. The teaching content was connected with the study of Ivan Duns Scotsman and Bonaventure. The method was strictly scholastic. However, further reforms went in direction of drawing closer the state and church university curricula. From the regulations related to the study of philosophy in Silver Bosnia it is visible that the provincial authorities were trying to implement the regulations made by the general of order and, as much as possible, keep pace with trends in the western educational institutions. When the circumstances did not allow that, they sent their students to study abroad

    Komparativna analiza triju američkih televizijskih voditelja razgovornih emisija I njihovog načina komuniciranja

    The aim of this final paper is to analyze and compare the ways in which three American talk show hosts communicate with their guests, as well as give a brief overview of the history of the profession itself and some explanation on communicating within that line of work. The author was compelled to write about talk show hosts because of their rising popularity, especially in the early 2000s, as she was growing up. The comparative analysis concerns American talk show hosts Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Phil, and Craig Ferguson. Those three were chosen because of their origin stories and their distinct ways of communicating with their guests, as the author was a frequent viewer of their television shows. Another element that was thoroughly analyzed in this paper was the way one would communicate and prepare an interview based on who the guest would be. The results of this analysis show that the way of communicating with one’s guest depends on the talk show hosts themselves and what they specialize in. However, all three talk show hosts are distinctly different, but with a few key similarities that should be considered when analyzing talk show hosts’ communication styles.Cilj ovog rada je bio analizirati i usporediti razne načine na koje troje američkih televizijskih voditelja razgovornih emisija komuniciraju sa svojim gostima i publikom. Uz to su se analizirali načini na koje osoba treba komunicirati kao voditelj razgovorne emisije, te kako se mora strukturirati intervju za televizijski program. Autorica ovog rada je odlučila pisati o ovom voditeljima zbog njihove rastuće popularnosti, osobito u ranim 2000-im godinama dok je odrastala gledajući ih. Komparativna analiza se odnosi na sljedeće voditelje razgovornih emisija: Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Phil i Craig Ferguson. Oni su specifično izabrani zbog njihovih bogatih povijesti i specifičnog načina komuniciranja s gostima, pošto su svi izrazito drugačiji jedan od drugog. Još jedan element koji je temeljito analiziran u ovom radu bio je način na kojem će se pripremiti intervju na temelju gosta te epizode. Rezultati ove analize su pokazali da način komuniciranja s gostom ovisi o samom voditelju razgovorne emisije i njiihove specijalizacije i karijere. Iako su sva tri voditelja različita jedan od drugog, imaju nekoliko ključnih sličnosti koje treba razmotriti pri analizi njihovih komunikacijskih stilova kao voditelj razgovorne emisije

    Use of Indefinite Pronominal Words in Sentences such as Je li me netko/tko/tkogod tražio? (Did anyone ask for me?)

    No full text
    The paper explores grammatical and semantic explication of the normative rule about correct/incorrect use of indefinite pronouns in sentences such as: Je li me netko/tko/tkogod tražio? (Did anyone ask for me?) in standard Croatian language. In normative rules of the appropriate use of standard language the difference between indefinite pronouns with the prefix ne- and pronouns without affixes or with the suffix -god is based on two distinctive features: existence/nonexistence of referent and unknown identity of referent. The author thinks that the first distinctive feature is not precise enough and that the second one is partly inaccurate. The difference between these series of indefinite pronouns could be precisely described by grammatical and semantic concepts of specificity or referentiality, which were used in linguistics from 1960’s. It is interesting that these concepts were described by the Croatian linguist August Musić at the end of the 19th century in his articles about the use of indefinite pronouns in the Croatian language. For these concepts, he proposed the terms individual indefinite and general indefinite. Individual indefinite implies that a particular entity has already been actualized but the speaker can not or does not want to name it more precisely and therefore uses an indefinite pronoun (Netko kuca na vrata. Nešto sam ti kupio. Somebody knocks on the door. I bought you something.), and general indefinite means that the choice of a particular entity has not been realized yet and that it can be any entity from the group of the same kind (Ako tko/tkogod pokuca na vrata, pozovite me. If anyone knocks on the door, call me.)

    13 Pags.- 1 Fig.- 4 Tabls. Data availability: The data that has been used is confidential. © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY license.Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) accumulates challenges in the areas of research and innovation (R&I), agricultural water management (AWM) and their intersection. In the decade 2012–2022, the BiH gross domestic product per capita in current US$ increased by 6.2% annually. However, improvements are slowly arriving in R&I and AWM. In this period, relevant challenges to AWM have materialized, such as climate change effects or the need to implement an interconnected vision of ecosystem services. In the R&I arena, the societal demand for knowledge goods remains low, while the reforms of higher education and R&I funding systems have become urgent. This paper set out to elaborate a realistic and feasible policy roadmap to consolidate R&I in AWM in BiH. The methodology included an assessment of policies and sector performance, the analysis of stakeholder perceptions, the development of strategic directions and the design of a strategy. Desk research and stakeholder consultations (33 interviews, six workshops, 179 persons in total) were used to take stock of the current situation and expectations for the future. Stakeholders were divided into knowledge supply and knowledge demand, with five and six subcategories, respectively. Relations were established among the key enabling factors, the needs and the capacities of the involved stakeholders. The TOWS (Threats, Opportunities, Weaknesses and Strengths) matrix permitted to identify policy strategies. A Weaknesses – Opportunities, conservative or mini-maxi strategy was selected, owing to the relevance of system weaknesses (such as low investments, poor return of R&I to society or low R&I for AWM adaptation) and opportunities (such as the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans, Smart Specialization or regional partnerships). The policy roadmap was structured along three policy goals: strengthen R&I, strengthen AWM and identify / fund local R&I priorities for AWM. Policy goals included policy instruments promoting eco-efficient use of resources and sustainable development of rural areas.This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 952396.Peer reviewe
