The grotesque-fantastic as a literary approach in shaping the characters of Miodrag Bulatović’s short fiction (The Devils Are Coming and The Wolf and Bell)
Get PDFIn this essay the author examines the fiction of one of the most significant Montenegrin authors of the second half of the twentieth century, Miodrag Bulatović. As a modern Yugoslav writer, Miodrag Bulatović destabilized narrative conventions with elements of the fantastic and the grotesque, by which he estranged the world of the literary text. By examining the image of the world in the collection of short stories The Devils Are Coming and The Wolf and bell, we will explain the use of the grotesque and the fantastic and their functions in the portrayal of the heroes, who are made into wild and deranged people, people of low passions and drives, antiheroes, negative protagonists, bearers of dark and demonic powers, rebels and “the wretched people”.
We conclude that Bulatović as an author has constructed a distinctive world of phantasmagoric visions and has modelled characters who are carnivalesque, grotesque, and tragic, inhabiting a topsy-turvy universe poised at the edge of hell
Miodrag Bulatović's early prose seen as the literary-historical problem
Get PDFРана проза Миодрага Булатовића, писца који је у процесу увођења модерног књижевног израза у српску књижевност друге половине
XX века имао веома важну улогу, често је повезивана с књижевношћу реализма. Таква интерпретативна позиција није добра за разумевање стварних
карактеристика Булатовићеве прозе, посебно за његову склоност да се служи
поступцима који су, с једне стране, блиски тзв. лирској прози а, с друге стране, књижевности апсурда и гротеске. Зато је у овом раду рана проза Миодрага
Булатовића осветљавана кроз призму поетике која једина може бити од користи историчару књижевности и његовим настојањима да одреди природу
једне важне књижевне појаве.The literary work analyses Miodrag Bulatović’s early prose, and sheds
light on his attempts of making a link with the literature of Serbian Realism,
especially to that of Borisav Stanković. The problems stemming from the literary-historical analogies were especially accentuated, i.e. making a connection
between the works, which had completely different literary and artistic characteristics. The author had strived to explain the standpoint, from which only
detailed analytical illumination of poetical characteristics of one work, could
be the basis for its literary-historical interpretation.Научни скупови / Српска академија наука и уметности ; књ. 178. Одељење језика и књижевности ; књ. 3
Figures of Political Incorectness – Sociopolitical Myths and Symbols in Miodrag Bulatović’s Work
No full text„Figury politycznej niepoprawności – socjopolityczne mity i symbole w twórczości Miodraga Bulatovicia”, to artykuł poświęcony dziełom serbskiego pisarza czarnogórskiego pochodzenia, a w szczególności jego indywidualnej symbolice z tzw. emigranckiej trylogii, na która składają się trzy powieści: Ludzie o czterech palcach, Gullo Gullo, Peti Prst. Autor za jej pomocą rozprawia się z środkowoeuropejskimi mitami socjopolitycznymi, a także z mitem „wspaniałej Słowiańszczyzny”. Wampir Dracula, świnia Josephine, orzeł Georg, pies Zdeniek i zwierzę Gullo Gullo, to z jednej strony symbole wymyślone przez pisarza i świadomie naruszające polityczną poprawność, z drugiej zaś – pozwalające na stworzenie nowych mitów wyjaśniających fatalizm historii Słowian.‘Figures of Political Incorectness – Sociopolitical Myths and Symbols in Miodrag Bulatović’s work’ this is an article dedicated to literary output of the Serbian author with Montenegrin background and in particular to his individual symbolism from so called exile trilogy which comprises of three novels: Men of four fingers, Gullo Gullo, Peti Prst. With their help the author is dealing with the Mideast sociopolitical myths and also the myth of ‘The Great Slavism’. Vampire Dracula, Pig Josephine, Eagle Georg, Dog Zdeniek and animal Gullo Gullo are from one end symbols invented by the author and intentionally intruding political correctness and from the other they are allowing him to create new myths which are explaining the fatalism of Slavic people’s history.

је дао изузетан допринос теорији упоредног права и примени упоредног
метода у правним и политичким наукама. Осим научне, Јовичић је јавно
деловао обављајући својеврсну просветитељску мисију у Србији у најши-
рем смислу те речи: упознавање с најважнијим достигнућима савремене
правно-политичке мисли, оснивање и уређивање стручних библиотека

из заборава наших знаменитих правно-политичких писаца и њихових
дела, учешће на јавним трибинама и дискусијама, богата и разноврсна

традицијама београдске школе јавног права, Јовичић је правно-поли-
тичке идеје и институције развијених земаља преносио у Србију. Сми-
сао његовог изучавања упоредног права било је преношење најбољих

средину. Јовичићев интелектуални credo састоји се у успешном повези-
вању двеју дијаноетичких врлина: истинољубивости и интелектуалне
честитости и може се по његовим речима свести „на служење научној
истини, подржавање демократ– ских идеја и тражење најбољих облика

Бројна дела и активности Миодрага Јовичића потврђују да су на-
ука и научни рад били његово најдубље опредељење и истински позив,
којима чак ни ратна збивања, укључив и нестанак државе у којој је живео и делао, нису могли наудити. Заиста редак пример посвећености науци и струци.The author attempts to present the work, personality and public actions of
Miodrag Jovicic in the format of six fragments. He demonstrated that Jovicic
was one of most distinguished Serbia’s lawyers in the fields of theory of state,
constitutional law and political system, a respected professor of Faculty of Law
of Novi Sad University, world-renown expert for constitutional law, member of
Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, editor-in – chief of Archives for Legal
and Social Sciences and edition „Politics and Society”, Chairman of Yugoslav
Association for Constitutional Law. Miodrag Jovicic made a significant contribution
to theory of the comparative law and application of the comparative
method in legal and political sciences in more than 400 bibliographical units in
the above-mentioned fields. Besides scientific work, Miodrag Jovicic conducted
significant public mission, contributing to the enlightenment and awareness–
raising of the public, getting it acquainted with the most significant results of
the modern legal and political science, setting up and editing scientific journals,
organizing scientific symposia and debates, reviving public and scientific interest
in almost forgotten Serbian legal and political authors and their works, participating
in public debates and round tables, rich and diverse publicist activity.
Educated and raised in the spirit of the Enlightenment and the best tradition
of Belgrade school of public law, Jovicic transferred legal and political
ideas and institutions of developed countries into Serbia. For him, the purpose
of analyzing comparative law was to transfer the best foreign knowledge, experience
and democratic ideas and institutions to Serbia. Jovicic’s intellectual credo
consists of successfully combining 2 ethical virtues: Truthfulness and intellectual
honesty. In his own words, it can be summarized as „Serving to the scientific
truth, supporting democratic ideas and searching for the best forms of governance and state organization. In all those endeavours, always and above all, one must faithfully serve one’s nation”.
Numerous works and activities of Miodrag Jovicic prove that science and
scientific work were his deepest devotion and true calling, which even the war
and disappearance of the state in which he worked and lived couldn’t have
harmed, let alone stopped. This is indeed a rare example of dedication to science
always and everywhere
Miodrag Vasiljević’s margin notes on Béla Bartók’s study Morphology of Serbo-Croatian vocal folk melodies
Get PDFThe founder of modern Serbian ethnomusicology, collector of folk songs ethnomusicologist, and music pedagogue, Miodrag A. Vasiljević (1903–1963) was a younger contemporary of the famous Hungarian composer and ethnomusicologist Béla Bartók (1881–1945). Bartók was the author of the first synthetic study of Serbian and Croatian vocal folk traditions, which was also the first such study in English. During the same period and immediately after Bartók had completed his study, Miodrag Vasiljević, along with other pioneers of modern ethnomusicology in former Yugoslavia, started to research musical folklore on field at home. Bartók's study was published a year after Vasiljević's first book; by 1965 Vasiljević's other collections, studies and articles had been published (most of them in Yugoslavia, i.e. in Serbia). Independently of Bartók, yet almost simultaneously, Vasiljević had written down hundreds of melodies and studied some elements of Serbian and South Slavonic traditional culture: tonality, rhythm, melodic modes and terminology. This was in addition to his great work experience on field and his empirical insight into the fundamental characteristics of musical folklore in this area,. The final result that he wished for, but unfortunately, did not manage to complete, was a synthetic study of Serbian and South Slavonic musical folklore. Vasiljević's margin notes, handwritten comments on Bartók's findings, published here for the first time, are considered to be a source of information about his attitude towards Bartók's assumptions and explanations, as well as showing the results of Vasiljević's own work, and the ambit of his study focus. Bartók's and Vasiljević's primary motives in their approach to South Slavonic traditional music were different. While Bartók was interested in features of South Slavonic tradition, so that he could note the particular features of the Hungarian music heritage more clearly, Vasiljević studied the regularities of Serbian folk music approaching it in comparison with other South Slavonic traditions. This diversity determined their approach to the material. Bartók often leaned on his excellent knowledge of other traditions and drew conclusions from facts that were familiar to him. In contrast, Miodrag Vasiljević paid more attention to questions relating to the wider issue of the autochthonous development of Serbian musical folklore. Many of Vasiljević's comments on Bartók's study are classified here in the following categories: 1) comments in which he expresses agreement with Bartók; 2) comments in which he gives precious supplements to Bartók's observations; 3) comments in which he expresses disagreement with Bartók: a) argument and b) with no evident arguments; 4) comments in which an incomplete understanding of Bartók's findings is reflected; and 5) comments which indirectly refer to a professional aspect of Bartók's work. Some of the comments, according to their wide, still unstudied subject matter, demand greater added elaboration and thus have not been covered in detail in this paper. Insight into Vasiljević's comments on Bartók's study is significant for experts outside Serbia who have little information on continuity in the development of the Serbian school of ethnomusicology, and are also important because of the huge degree of disproportion in the two scholars' work display

Get PDFThe paper deals with a detailed analysis of the characteristics of emotional discourse, organized in a literary text, specifically in the novel Gullo Gullo by Miodrag Bulatovic. Since expressing of emotions can be verbal and non-verbal, both codes relating the organization of emotional discourse have been activated. In the analysis of literary coded emotional discourse the author had to consider two-instance system of art. The fiction as a basic distinctive feature of a literary text has a crucial influence on the emotional semiosis resulting in producing emotional meaning. That process has always been influenced by various features of poetic language and its combinatorics, which are significantly different from encoding in real chronotope expressed in native language forms, governed by quite different rules of expressing emotions and transferred by the people and not the literary structure. Since the fact that disorders of phatic function of a language, communication and culture, are defined as major agents of the process in question their accepted values novels written by Miodrag Bulatovic, the author points out the importance of carnival, grotesque, pornography and satire which have been used as the main degradation processes of the canonized cultural and communication patterns in the novel, whose destructive operation inevitably affects the emotional discourse.The paper deals with a detailed analysis of the characteristics of emotional discourse, organized in a literary text, specifically in the novel Gullo Gullo by Miodrag Bulatovic.

Human pluripotent stem cells – Unique tools to decipher the effects of environmental and intracellular plastic pollution on human health
No full text© 2020 Elsevier Ltd Increase in plastic pollution causes irreparable harm to the environment lasting for decades. While current data of plastic pollution include marine and terrestrial ecology, the impacts of degraded or intentionally produced microscopic-sized plastics on human health remain unknown. Here, we are proposing the usage of pluripotent stem cells, modern transcriptomics, and bioinformatics as a unique scientific tool to define the link between environmental and intracellular pollution, its outcome on early human development and origin of diseases. This commentary is an urgent appeal to the scientific and policy communities to invest more time and resources to establish reliable standards and methods to define and address the consequences of plastic pollution on human health
