No full textFinal Death of the Author: Creativity in the Age of Information Society
No full textPretpostavimo da je kreativnost rezultat unutarnjeg dijaloga kreativnog pojedinca (autora) iz kojega nastaje nova informacija. No kako onda razumjeti kreativnost danas, kada je naša individualna svijest proširena elektronskim medijima i telemetrijski uključena u “globalni mozak”? Sveprisutnost informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije omogućuje nam da stvaramo nove informacije brže negoli ikad prije i pohranjujemo ih u forme umjetne memorije, u koje može svatko ući. S obzirom na to čini se da je pojam autorstva prevladan, a unutarnji dijalog zamijenjen intersubjektivnim dijalogom. Držeći se teorije medija Viléma Flussera i Marshalla McLuhana, problematiziram novu paradigmu kreativnosti kakva se razvija u dobu informacijske tehnologije.If we assume that creativity is a result of the inner dialogue of creative individual (author), during which he creates an improbable combination of elements (i.e. new information), how can we comprehend creativity today, after we technologically extended our individual consciousness and connected it into a “global brain” via telematics? Prevalence of information and communications technology enables us to create more new information than ever, and allows us to store it in artificial memory, where it could be reused by almost anyone. In the age of ICT, author seems to be superfluous and the inner dialogue has been replaced by interpersonal dialogue. Taken into consideration Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media, I will try to problematize new paradigm of creativity, as it is disclosing in information society
“The Plague Shall Be Lifted": Representations of East and West in NOSFERATU (2024)
No full textRobert Eggers' critically acclaimed Nosferatu (2024) revisits the myth of the vampire in a visually stunning masterpiece that revitalizes one of the most iconic myths of modern times. Rooted in Eastern European folklore and the literary imagination of centuries past, the vampire fascinates and inspires artists today. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) popularised the vampire in the Western imagination in a novel in which East and West are presented as spatial embodiments of the dichotomy between civilised and savage. This paper aims to analyse the depiction of East and West in Nosferatu (2024), arguing that while such a political representation is not Eggers' primary aim, the film successfully inverts the narrative according to which the East is savage while the West is the civilised counterpart while also integrating forms of othering, namely spatial, cultural, and corporeal. This study also aims to highlight the implications of the film in terms of its representation of East and West while providing a deeper understanding of the development of the vampire myth in cinema
METALEPTIC LOVE IN THE ENGLISH-CANADIAN POSTMODERN NOVEL
No full textLove has been a staple and chameleonic trope in literature that inspired poets and novelists alike since times immemorial, becoming one of the most pervasive themes in literary texts over the centuries. The traditional understanding of the concept ranged from abstract to more scientific and it has been theorized in fields of study as diverse as philosophy, theology, and psychology. In literature, love mostly appears intertwined with romantic and erotic feelings, but postmodern fiction expands its semantic field by experimenting with a new typology, namely metaleptic love. In Canadian literature, one twentieth-century novel that illustrates a specific form of metaleptic love by using intertextuality is Timothy Findley’s Headhunter (1993). This paper argues that intertextuality is not just a marker of the postmodernist strategies embraced by Findley in his masterpiece, but it also functions as a symbol of metaleptic love and implicitly becomes a marker of ontological plurality
Telling Stories and Deploying Diegetic Folklore: A Short Incursion into Folk Gothic in Literature and Cinema
No full textThis review examines Dawn Keetley’s Folk Gothic as a concise yet theoretically ambitious contribution to contemporary Gothic studies, foregrounding its argument for Folk Gothic as a distinct generic and analytical category. It highlights Keetley’s central claim that Folk Gothic displaces anthropocentric narration in favour of non-human agencies—landscapes, objects, ritual, and recursive temporality—as primary drivers of meaning and affect. Particular attention is paid to the book’s clear differentiation between folk horror and Folk Gothic, supported by close readings of literary texts and films that demonstrate how non-human agency reshapes narrative structure and spectatorship. The review concludes that Folk Gothic offers both a rigorous conceptual framework and an accessible critical model, making it valuable for specialists and non-specialists interested in Gothic literature, cinema, and ecocritical approaches
