Audronė Bliujienė. Lietuvos priešistorės gintaras :
No full textPublikacijoje yra recenzuojama Audronės Bliujienės monografija "Lietuvos priešistorės gintaras". Gintaro tematikai skirtų darbų Lietuvos istoriografijoje nėra daug. Audronės Bliujienės knyga - tai pirmas reikšmingas, aktualus ir didelės apimties darbas, skirtas gintaro problematikai Lietuvos archeologijoje. Autorė kėlė sau uždavinį, t.y. "nemitologizuojant parodyti gintaro reikšmę baltų priešistorėje". Knygoje neapsiribojama tik lokalia temos analize, išžvalgomi kur kas platesni horizontai apie europinį gintaro tyrimų kontekstą. Bene stipriausias monografijoje yra trečiasis skyrius, kuriame autorė pademonstruoja turinti detektyvinę gyslelę analizuodama atskirų gintaro dirbinių atsiradimo istorijas ir su jomis susijusias įvairias peripetijas. Ne visi knygos skyriai pasižymi nuoseklumu. Pastebimas autorės kartais per didelis gintaro gamtos telkinių sureikšminimas, sudarant įspūdį, jog gintaras yra kasamas vos ne visoje Europoje. Vieni iš knygos perliukų - tai Juodkrantės neolito dirbinių rinkinio ir jo istorijos bei gintaro klodų ieškotojo ir kolekcininko grafo Felikso Vikentijaus Tiškevičiaus veiklos tyrimai, pasižymintys kruopščia analize, medžiagos naujumu. Monografijoje pateikti priedai yra labai informatyvūs, tačiau pateikti skirtinga forma, o Kaliningrado srities vietovardžiai vartojami dabartine rusų iškraipyta forma (tai pastebima ir knygos tekste). Sveikintinas monografijos autorės žingsnis per gintarą ne mažai dėmesio skirti senosios pasaulėžiūros rekonstrukcijai, o tai leidžia pažinti dvasinės kultūros apraiškas, parodo socialinės visuomenės sąrangos vaizdą. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Lietuvos priešistorė; GintarasThe publication provides a review of Audronė Bliujienė’s monograph "Lietuvos Priešistorės Gintaras". There are not many studies in the Lithuanian historiography, dedicated to the subject of amber. Audronė Bliujienė’s book is the first significant, relevant and large study, dedicated to the problems of amber in Lithuanian archeology. The author raised herself the task “to show the significance of amber in the Baltic prehistory without mythologizing”. The book is not limited to solely local analysis of the subject, much broader horizons in the European context of studies of amber are sensed. The third chapter in the monograph is the most interesting, the author demonstrates her sleuthing abilities by analyzing the stories of emerging of individual amber articles and the related peripeteia. Not all the chapters in the book characterize with consistency. One can note the excessive prominence, given by the author to the natural sources of amber and get the impression that amber can be found throughout the entire Europe. Among the gems of the book are the examinations of the collection of Neolithic articles, found in Juodkrantė and its story and the activities of amber seeker and collector count Felix Tyszkiewicz, characterizing with a thorough analysis and freshness of the material. The annexes to the monograph are very informative however provided in different forms and the place names of the Kaliningrad area are used in the present-day Russian forms (the said aspect can also be noted in the text of the book). One cannot help but rejoice with the author’s decision to dedicate significant attention to the reconstruction of the old worldview, which helps to learn the manifestations of the spiritual culture and shows the view of the social structure of the society
The image of café in the poetry of Gintaras Patackas.
No full textThe article analyses the images of the café and coffee from three books of Gintaras Patackas Kapitono Homero vaikai, Jauni patrakėliai petrarkos and Dviveidis Janas. The conception of modernism (surrealism), the reader, and the play are based on the articles of Rolan Barthes, Jurij Lotman, and Johan Huizinga. Surrealistic images of café and coffee in Gintaras Patackas poetry express homeless, carnival space, poetic mask of surrealism, the parody of the romantic writing. In the Kavamanija the comic surrealistic laud of coffee is the mask of surrealism, which means the death of the author as the hero of romantism. In the Meditacija prie lango su cigarete, kava is the parody of the romantic writing, of the poetical inspiration and meditation. In the Šventė two intertexts are played with: quotations from The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk During the World War of Jaroslav Hašek, and A Moveable Feast of Ernest Hemingway. The cycle of poems Kauno senamiesčio kavinių bliuzai ir rapsodijos express improvisation, which the poet marked the terms of jazz. The composition of the poem Duonos valgymas. “Skliautas”, 96 10 24 is focuses on the principles of the blues and the rhapsody. The improvisation is based on the variation – transformation of two different topics of the eaters of bread: on the Bible and on Romualdas Granauskas’ story Duonos valgytojai. The surrealistic vision of the cafe Skliautas expresses the conception of the naturalism of the writing. “In the blues” of... [to full text]
Gintaras Beresnevičius: the investigator of the phenomena of the sacred and the searcher for authentic religious experience
No full textGintaro Beresnevičiaus gyvenimo ir mirties istorija atitinka pasakymą, jog, ką myli dievai - tas miršta jaunas. Straipsnyje aptariamas iškilaus rašytojo ir mokslininko gyvenimas, mokslinė veikla bei grožinė kūryba. Gintaras Beresnevičius buvo itin vientisa asmenybė, jo veikla buvo nuosekli ir kryptinga, užmojai ir interesai sudarė nedalomą visumą. Baigęs istorijos studijas, jis pasirinko religijų istorijos barus, tačiau tuo neapsiribojo. Bene didžiausias Gintaro Beresnevičiaus mokslinis nuopelnas yra akademinė teorinės religijotyros, visų pirma religijos fenomenologijos, orientuotos į plačią tipologinę empirinių reiškinių analizę, steigtis Lietuvoje. Nereikia pamiršti ir jo atliktų labai reikšmingų baltų mitologijos, religijos ir kultūros tyrimų. Šventybė ir dieviškumas Gintarui Beresnevičiui turėjo svarbią egzistencinę prasmę. Jis tvirtai pasisakė už radikalaus šventybės fenomenų skirtingumo išsaugojimą. Mokslininko požiūriu, religija yra išreikšta išgyventu asmens santykiu su šventybe, kuomet šis santykis iš esmės pakeičia asmens gyvenimą ir priverčia asmenį tam tikru būdu pareikšti atsaką į šį santykį. Savo gyvenimo pabaigoje Gintaras Beresnevičius pradėjo ieškoti pačios šventybės ir paties Dievo, paliko originalų religijos filosofijos projektą, kurio mokslininko ankstyva mirtis neleido išgryninti ir punktyriniam pavidalui suteikti konkretesnių formų. Labai didelę įtaką lietuvių tautos sąmonėjimui padarė mokslininko kūryba ir visuomeninė veikla. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Baltų mitologija; Gintaras Beresnevičius; Baltic mythology; Ginatars BeresneviciusThe article discusses some aspects of scholarly and literary legacy of the prominent Lithuanian intellectual Gintaras Beresnevičius as well as the relation of that legacy to the scholar's personality. The author emphasizes the importance of Beresnevičius as the first professional Lithuanian scholar who worked in the field of the phenomenology of religion, also highlighting some of his achievements in the field of Baltic mythology, the history of ideas, and the philosophy of religion. It is argued that the works of Beresnevičius investigating the general theoretical aspects of religion as such are, contrary to the present opinion, more important than his works on Baltic mythology. The author notices some signs of evolution in the works of Beresnevičius from the empirical investigation of the phenomena of the sacred towards the original philosophy of religion which tries to reveal the nature and essence of the sacred and divine as such, bypassing the level of phenomena. The article also focuses on the literary activity of Beresnevičius, his extraordinary creative potential, radical political views, and the relation of his ideas to some tenets of postmodernism. The facts of rich and sometimes turbulent personal life of the scholar are interpreted as his search for authentic religious experience. This search is viewed as complementary to his theoretical investigations. The conclusion is made that the importance of scholarly and political activity of Beresnevičius to academic and cultural life of Lithuania is extraordinary and worthy of a deep analysis in the future
The Originality of Gintaras Grajauskas Playwriting.
No full textGintaras Grajauskas – the playwriter who has been composing his playwriting since the very beginning of the XXI century. Few of his dramaturgic efforts came from the years of his studies, but the corpus named A girl which God was afraid of (2007) – is the first mature writing of Grajauskas as a playwriter. However, it has been analysed just a little. „A diary of the observer who writes about life“ is most accurately fitting line in describing Grajauskas‘ playwriting. The writer stands out with his ability to reveal the most relevant human conditions by using the contemporary means: his language is daily and casual, but there is a vivid sensation of the modern-day human traits and his/her respective lifestyle. Though the backbone of playwriting is considered to be script, which unveils the logo-centric position of an author, the screenwriter‘s authentic style corresponds well with the features intrinsic to post-modern era. The era, which is rapidly changing the theater as such in the contemporary. This research analyses separate elements of the play‘s structure, investigates its relationship with theater. The most distinct features of Grajauskas‘ plays are revealed by Jonas Vaitkus in his spectacle of A girl which God was afraid of, written by the author. Some discussions based on other plays written by Grajauskas serve the study as an opportunity to observe the trending characteristics of the national theater in the contemporary, and to reflect on the reasons of why those characteristics and processes determine a short lifespan of a play, directors’ and theater principals’ unwillingness to let the Lithuanian playwriting professionals into the biggest Lithuanian stages. Though each of the playwriters’ plays has been staged so far, Grajauskas is still yet to find his way in the theater

Audronė Bliujienė. Lietuvos priešistorės gintaras : recenzija
No full textBesidomintys Lietuvos archeologija sulaukė vertingos ir reikšmingos knygos apie priešistorinį gintarą Lietuvoje. Knygos autorė Audronė Bliujienė gintaru susidomėjo jau prieš gerą dešimtmetį, tai rodo bibliografija ir jos pastaraisiais metais nagrinėjamos temos. Knygos įvade autorė aptaria seniausius rašytinius šaltinius apie aisčius ir Baltijos jūros pakrantėse renkamą gintarą, apie gintaro vardą, kalbininkų išsakytas nuomones dėl šio vardo kilmės. Tai daugmaž žinoma informacija iš kitų tyrinėtojų darbų. Kiek mažiau skaitytojams žinoma knygoje pateikiama folklorinė ir tautosakinė medžiaga. Todėl šia prasme labai vertinga knygoje pateikta Vairos Vikes-Freibergos latvių folkloro tyrimų medžiaga. Knygos antrame skyriuje aptariama svarbiausia lietuviška literatūra gintaro tematika, trečiame – pateikiamos Palangos neolito gintaro dirbinių rinkinio atsiradimo, gintaro karolių iš Raudondvario dvaro, Šernų ir kitų bronzinių žmonių figūrėlių istorijos. Ketvirtas ir penktas skyriai skirti gintaro šaltiniams Europoje ir Sembos pusiasalyje, šeštame skyriuje aptariami seniausieji Europos gintaro dirbiniai. Septintame knygos skyriuje atskleidžiami faktai, susiję su gintaru Jutlandijoje ir Didžiojoje Britanijoje, aštuntame pateikiama informacija apie gintarą Ūneticės, Otomani-Fūzesabony, Mikėnų, Lužitėnų kultūrose, graikų, etruskų ar keltų gyventuose regionuose ir t. t. Taigi knygos pavadinimas ne visai atspindi jos turinį, skaitytojui pateikiamas daug platesnis europinis gintaro tyrimų kontekstas. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Audronė Bliujienė; Lietuvos priešistorė; Gintaras; Audronė Bliujienė; Prehistory of Lithuania; AmberThose interested in Lithuanian archaeology have finally seen a valuable and significant book on pre-historic amber in Lithuania published. The author of the book Audronė Bliujienė became interested in amber a good decade ago. It can be seen from her biography and the themes she has been analysing in the recent years. In the introduction to the book, the author discusses the earliest written sources about the Aesti and the amber collected on the shores of the Baltic Sea, the name of amber, and linguists’ opinions on the origin of this name. This information is more or less known from works by other researchers. The folklore material presented in the book is less known to the reader. Therefore, the research material of Latvian folklore by Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga presented in the book is very valuable. The second part of the book discusses the most important Lithuanian literature on the theme of amber, and the third part presents histories of the birth of a set of amber articles of the Neolithic Age discovered in Palanga, amber bead necklace of Raudondvaris manor, the Šernai statuette and other bronze statuettes. The forth and the fifth parts are dedicated to amber resources in Europe and the Semba peninsula, and the sixth part discusses the oldest European amber artefacts. The seventh part of the book reveals facts related to amber in Jutland and Great Britain. The eighth part contains information about amber in Únětice, Otomani-Fūzesabony, Mycenaean, Lusatian cultures and regions inhabited by Greeks, Etruscans or Celts, etc. Therefore, the title of the book does not fully convey its content, and the reader is provided with a wider European context of amber research
