    No full text
    This work deals with Milovan Danojlic’s focus upon the concept of naïve poetry, which had far-reaching poetic reflections in his literary system. The work is divided into seven thematic sections. !fter the introductory chapter, in which the relevant stimuli for dealing with the subject matter in the title are stated, the second chapter examines the literary-historical and poetic context of Milovan Danojlic’s early poetry, as well the conditions for turning towards a new productive core – children's poetry, which will lead the poet towards the poetics of ultimate simplicity. The third chapter expounds on the theoretical propositions concerning the concept of naïve poem via Danojlic’s precise description of the nature and function of literature for children. It can be said that it is exactly in the theoretical discourse of this concept, which was initiated by Danojlic’s treatises and essays from the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s, that can for the first time be discernible that which can be called differentia specifica of literature for children within Serbian literature. The fourth chapter deals with the terminological specificities of the notion of naïve poem as seen from the relevant literary-historical and theoretical aspects. The fifth chapter is oriented towards the examination of the links between Danojlic’s theoretical pattern of poetry for children and the very poetry, through the stylistic, thematic and chronological survey of his collections of poetry for children. The sixth chapter introduces the consideration of Danojlic’s prose about childhood, which is according to its certain characteristics subsumed under the domain of naïve literature, and exactly within the boundaries set by the author himself. The last, seventh, chapter deals with the picture of childhood in Danojlic’s poetry and prose, since the phenomenon of childhood and growing up appears to be the key connective tissue between these two literary corpora

    „The Emigrant Within”: The Political Ideas of Milovan Djilas 1954–1989

    No full text
    The aim of this article is to examine the political ideas of Milovan Djilas (1911–1995) developed in his dissident period (1954–1989). Once a highly ranked communist and revolutionary of Tito’s antifascist partisan army in the Second World War Yugoslavia, Milovan Djilas (1911–1995) became widely known as one of the most important dissident figures in Eastern Europe. A noted reformist since Tito-Stalin split in 1948 and political prisoner (1956–1961, 1962–1966), Djilas was deprived from all public activity in his country until the end of communist rule. Author of more than twenty books translated and published abroad, ranging from political analysis and memoirs to novels and shorts stories, Djilas never truly gave up the ideals of the young talented writer he was in the early 1930s when he joined the communists. Declaring himself a democratic socialist, it was in his dissident period that he formulated a specific form of political philosophy which included his criticism of communist ideology and Titoist authoritarian rule in Yugoslavia, but also wider thoughts on human condition, literature and philosophy in the 20th century.624326017Poznańskie Studia Slawistyczn

    Milovan Gavazzi and the Question on the Actuality of the Croatian Cultural-Historical Ethnology

    No full text
    Ovaj rad predstavlja pokušaj da se Milovan Gavazzi stavi u kontekst rasprava o teorijskim osnovama etnološke znanosti u Hrvatskoj. Pri tome se Gavazzi uzima samo kao jedno od više mogućih polazišta u kritičkom rasvjetljavanju odnosa između tradicionalne i suvremene hrvatske etnologije. Do sada je taj odnos bio uglavnom jednosmjeran. Kritika se kretala od suvremenog etnološkog pristupa prema tradicionalnom koji su kritičari najčešće označavali kao kulturnopovijesnu etnologiju. Pri tome su propustili točnije odrediti što je zapravo kulturnopovijesna etnologija i koliko je opravdana primjena tog pojma za stariju hrvatsku etnologiju. Ta se odredba u kritičara koristila kao nešto samo po sebi razumljivo i poznato. U ovom se radu pokušava uspostaviti povratna relacija, odnosno nastoji se pokazati što se suvremenoj hrvatskoj etnologiji može odgovoriti s pozicije starije, uvjetno rečeno kulturnopovijesne etnologije. Rasprava nije formulirana kao obrana jedne ili kao napad na drugu etnološku koncepciju, već nastoji upozoriti na teorijske nedorečenosti koje postoje u odnosu između starije i novije etnologije u Hrvatskoj kako bi se uklonile zapreke razvoju ove znanosti.The work is an attempt to shed light on relation between traditional and contemporary ethnology in Croatia. Taking Gavazzi's theoretical statements as a starting point the author tries to reply to the criticism which newer Croatian ethnology has directed to the older one. Attention is called to the need of redefining the relation between two major ethnological tendencies in order to pave the new way to the development of this science in Croatia

    Foreign policy thought of Milovan Milovanović: Does it reach the bar of foreign policy theory?

    No full text
    Osnovno pitanje koje se postavlja u ovom radu je da li razmatranja spoljne politike Milovana Milovanovića, plodnog autora i vrlog diplomate i političara s kraja XIX i početka XX veka, dostižu rang teorije? Teza koju će ovaj rad pokušati da dokaže jeste da je reč o svojevrsnoj predteoriji spoljne politike. Nakon izdvajanja ključnih naučnih hipoteza o spoljnopolitičkom ponašanju država u međunarodnim odnosima koje Milovanović iznosi u svojim radovima, istražićemo da li je moguće označiti ova razmatranja kao teoriju primenom dva testa: 1) minimalnog; 2) optimalnog. Potom ćemo locirati Milovanovićevu predteoriju spoljne politike u širu realpolitičku misao i pokušati da utvrdimo stepen njene relevantnosti za savremene pristupe u spoljnopolitičkoj teoriji.The main research question posed in this article is could foreign policy considerations of Milovan Milovanović (Serbian politician, diplomat and a fruitful author from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century) be regarded as a theory of foreign policy? Our thesis is that these considerations are a pre-theory of foreign policy. After a description of the key Milovanović’s hypotheses about the foreign policy behavior of states in international relations, we will test could they be regarded as a comprehensive theory using two tools: 1) the minimal test; 2) the optimal test. Finally, we would try to locate Milovanović’s pre-theory inside broader realpolitik thought, as well as to analyze its relevance for contemporary foreign policy theoretical approaches

    Chiara Fumai Reads Rosalind Krauss: May the Spectator who Wants to Witness a Miracle Please Step Forward.

    No full text
    Chiara Fumai was one of the most relevant Italian artists of her generation, her work having been shown at both the Venice Biennale’s Italian Pavilion and Documenta. In her practice, the performer often quoted feminist texts while playing the role of a woman possessed. I give an account of Fumai’s use of video, comparing it to Rosalind Krauss’s essay Video: The Aesthetics of Narcissism. I explain the artist’s work as a dialectic overcoming of the analogy the critic institutes between the notion of art medium and the figure of the Medium. Highlighting that both Fumai and Krauss see Acconci’s early works as a benchmark, I illustrate how the two built an archaeology of contemporary mediality. The essay, which consistently expands previous articles by the author, is included in the first monograph publication dedicated to the artist's work and performative practice

    Exhibition: From the Archive of the Architect Milovan Kovačević; From the holdings of the Croatian Museum of Architecture of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts

    The exhibition entitled From the Archive of the Architect Milovan Kovačević is dedicated to the Personal archive of this Croatian architect from the period between the two world wars. This collection was donated by the architect’s family. It contains a series of his competition projects and a collection of his personal belongings from the period between 1928 and 1945. The exhibition layout is conceived as a time machine through Kovaèević’s life. It allows us to get to know the author on a more personal level through his collection of letters, photographs and personal belongings. Moreover, the exhibition presents his competition projects that effectively complement collective memory of his architectural work. They offer a vision of architecture that might have existed in an alternative version of history. His drawings show what handmade architectural drawings used to be like and draw our attention to this neglected discipline nowadays

    Intelligentsia and a new class. Political elites according to Jan Wacław Machajski and Milovan Djilas

    Milovan Ðilas był wybitnym krytykiem i analitykiem tzw. nowej klasy, a więc biurokracji politycznej powstałej w łonie partii komunistycznej. Przed Ðilasem najbardziej znanym przedstawicielem bardzo podobnego nurtu w myśli politycznej i społecznej był na gruncie polskim Jan Wacław Machajski (1866–1926). Zdaniem Machajskiego w nowym “socjalistycznym” ustroju inteligencja odgrywałaby podobną rolę jak ta, którą Ðilas przypisał nowej klasie, a więc rolę elity bezwzględnie dbającej wyłącznie o własne interesy. Porównanie oddziaływania i roli politycznej elit rządzących w “socjalizmie” w ujęciu Machajskiego i Ðilasa jest głównym celem autora niniejszego artykułu.Milovan Djilas was a distinguished critic and analyst of the so-called new class, that is the political bureaucracy created within the communist party. Before Djilas, the best-known representative of a very similar trend in political and social thought in Poland was Jan Wacław Machajski (1866–1926). According to Machajski, in the new “socialist” regime intelligentsia would fulfil a role similar to that which Djilas attributed to the new class: the role of an elite looking exclusively after its own interests. The main objective of the author of this article is to compare the impact and political role of governing elites in “socialism” as interpreted by Machajski and by Djilas

    A Landownership Structure in the Commune Kikinda

    The commune Kikinda is situated in Banat, one of the richest regions of Yugoslavia, where socialistic relations in agriculture have been gone the furthest. Social sector of agriculture embraces about 40.00% of all land capacities and the productive cooperation between social agricultural enterprises and individual holdings is very developed. An analysis of the landownership structure undertaken in this article served to the author for determining some real presuppositions for the further expansion of the social sector of agriculture. It is based on the questionnaire on household carried out by the Institution for Professional Orientation and Employment in Kikinda in 1964. Among 19,504 households in the whole commune there are 10,604 with landestates or something over 55.00%. The author distinguishes eight groups of households with landestates: »pure« peasants, workers-peasants, peasant-clerk, »pure« clerks, tradesmen, pensioners and »others«. Further the author analyses their structure according to the number of each group, amount of land in possession, professional orientation of their children, medial number of persons per each household, keeping an offspring on the holding etc. As the first and the second group is the most numerous and keep in their hands the largest quantity of agricultural surface the author separately undertook an analysis of age structure of active population living on those two groups of households. The author's conclusion is that in the commune Kikinda quite real opportunities for the further enlargement of the social sector of agriculture and its cooperation with the individual landowners exist
