    Avtorica v prispevku analizira triptih sodobnih pravljic mladinskega klasika Nika Grafenauerja Majhnica in Katrca Škrateljca (1987), Majhnica (1987) in Mahajana in druge pravljice o Majhnici (1990). Niko Grafenauer je sodobni slovenski mladinski klasik in kanonski avtor v učnem načrtu za slovenščino (2011). V članku so analizirane intertekstualnost, motivno-tematske reminiscence, podoba otroka in ljubezni v triptihu, posebej v obsežni sodobni pravljici Mahajana s slikarskimi ilustracijami Marije Lucije Stupica.The article analyses a triptych of contemporary fairy tales by Slovene author Niko Grafenauer: Majhnica and Katrca Škrateljca (1987), Majhnica (1987) and Mahayana and other stories about Majhnica (1990). Niko Grafenauer is a modern classic and a representative author in the Slovene language curriculum (2011).The paper analyses intertextuality, motif reminiscences, the triptych image of a child and love, in particular in the fantasy Mahajana, which is illustrated by Marija Lucija Stupica

    Niko Bartulović i slovenački Jugoslaveni 1918-1935.

    No full text
    The author provides the reconstruction of the Yugoslavism phenomenon in western parts of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, inhabited by the Roman Catholic population. It was rooted in activities of the Dalmatian and Slovenian revolutionary national-liberal pro-Yugoslav youth. Those integral Yugoslavian groups were base for the creation of the several Yugoslav organizations such as ORJUNA, the Yugoslav Soko, the Jadran Guard and Yugoslav Chetniks. The author devotes the main attention to Niko Bartulović, the writer, which belonged to such political and cultural circles in the city of Split. Bartulović was one of the prominent Yugoslav revolutionaries, accused during the First World War by the Austro/Hungarian authorities and later when the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was formed one of the main promoters of such pan-Yugoslav oriented organizations

    IDEOLOGY AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN NIKO BARTULOVIĆ’S NOVELS

    No full text
    Niko Bartulović posve je zaboravljeno književno ime; iako autor dvaju romana, dviju drama te nekoliko knjiga novela i pripovijedaka, danas je tek usputna činjenica u historiografskim pregledima; književne povijesti i priručnici uglavnom ga ne spominju, a kada ga i spominju, najčešće je to bez znatnijih kulturoloških i književnih pretenzija. Rijetke su studije, portreti, komentari i kritičke ocjene njegova djela, svojevremeno u samom žarištu interesa, danas prekrivena prašinom povijesnog zaborava, neistražena i nedovoljno vrednovana. Razlozi tomu nisu jednoznačni; uz one koji se odnose na skromnu vrijednost književnih stranica, dio ih treba potražiti u Bartulovićevu političkom djelovanju – radikalno-integralističkoj ideologiji monarhističkog jugoslavenstva te kasnijem apologetstvu četništva, a dio ih leži i u činjenici da je veći dio svoje (ne samo književne) djelatnosti Bartulović vezao uz beogradsku sredinu i postao “isključivo srpskim piscem”.Niko Bartulović is nowadays a completely forgotten writer. Although he is the author of two novels, two plays and several collections of short stories, he is nowadays only a parenthetical fact in historiography overviews. He is usually not even mentioned in histories of literature and handbooks, and when he is, it is frequently without significant cultural and literary pretensions. Only occasional studies, commentaries and critical evaluations deal with his work which was once the focal point of interest, and is now covered by the dust of literary oblivion, under-researched and undervalued. The reasons for this are complex. Besides those that relate to the limited literary value of his work, they are also partly the result of Bartulović’s political work – radical integralist ideology of monarchic Yugoslavianism and his later apologies of the Chetnic movement, and partly the result of the fact that the greater part of his work (not only literary) is connected to Belgrade and as a result of this he became an ‘exclusively Serbian author’

    Optical control of 4 f orbital state in rare-earth metals

    No full text
    A change of orbital state alters the coupling between ions and their surroundings drastically. Orbital excitations are hence key to understand and control interaction of ions. Rare-earth elements with strong magneto-crystalline anisotropy (MCA) are important ingredients for magnetic devices. Thus, control of their localized 4 f magnetic moments and anisotropy is one major challenge in ultrafast spin physics. With time-resolved x-ray absorption and resonant inelastic scattering experiments, we show for Tb metal that 4 f -electronic excitations out of the ground-state multiplet occur after optical pumping. These excitations are driven by inelastic 5 d -4 f -electron scattering, altering the 4 f -orbital state and consequently the MCA with important implications for magnetization dynamics in 4 f -metals and more general for the excitation of localized electronic states in correlated materials.Optical excitation of 4 f metals can change the 4 f orbital state and alters the 4 f -spin-lattice coupling on femtosecond timescales

    Ethopathology and Civilization Diseases: Niko and Elisabeth Tinbergen on Autism

    No full text
    The idea that some diseases result from a poor fit between modern life and our biological make-up is part of the long history of what historian of medicine Charles Rosenberg has called the “progress-and-pathology narrative.” This article examines a key episode in that history: 1973 Nobel laureate Niko Tinbergen's use of an evolutionary framework to identify autism as a pathogenic effect of progress. Influenced by British psychiatrist John Bowlby's work, Tinbergen and his wife Elisabeth saw autistic children as victims of environmental stress caused mainly by mothers' failure to bond with their children and to protect them from conflicting situations. However, the author argues that their position was not “environmental.” For them, autism was due to a failure of socialization but the mechanisms that explain that failure were established by biological evolution. Situating their views within the context of Niko's concern about the derailment of biological evolution by cultural evolution, this article shows that their ideas are of special significance for understanding the persistence of the view that civilization poses a risk to human health. </jats:p

    God's Flame. Union with God according to John of the Cross

    No full text
    On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the death of St. John of the Cross, the author reflects on his mystic studies, especially the mystic union with God as an intense encounter of supemature and nature being realized within the soul of the mystic person through religion. Referring to the Blessed Edith Stein, the author stresses the importance of John's paper "The living flame of love" which he takes as starting-point and confirmation in the elucidation of the reality of "unification" as the ultimate stage of personal development and spiritual growth
