Kontrastivna proučavanja glagola vizuelne percepcije u srpskom i slovenačkom jeziku

The paper is a review that examines the semantic and syntactic analysis of verbs of visual perception in standard Serbian and standard Slovenian presented by Željko Marković in the monograph entitled Verbs of Visual Perception in Serbian and Slovenian: A Contrastive Semantic-Syntactic Analysis. The monograph was published in 2023 by the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, Serbia. The study investigates the semantic and syntactic properties of verbs of visual perception in Serbian and Slovenian from the perspective of contrastive linguistics. The author introduces the situation analysis of the perception act, which determines the properties relevant to the semantic description of this lexical semantic field of the verbs, and also investigates their predicate-argument structure.The paper is a review that examines the semantic and syntactic analysis of verbs of visual perception in standard Serbian and standard Slovenian presented by Željko Marković in the monograph entitled Verbs of Visual Perception in Serbian and Slovenian: A Contrastive Semantic-Syntactic Analysis.

The Archetypal Character of Eve: A Comparative Overview of Modern Czech, French and Canadian Literatures

There are very few archetypal characters being more important for European cultural tradition than the Biblical first woman – Eve. As evidenced by literary onomastic research, the very use of semantically loaded first names implies intertextual connectedness, fulfilling – in most cases – associative and symbolic functions. This reference to archetypal stories and heroes makes it possible to create a multitude of new semantic layers, but it also serves to keep their original sense in cultural and collective memory. In our contribution, we seek comparative analysis and interpretation of selected characters, bearing the name of Eve, in modern French, Canadian and Czech literatures. The study focuses on variants, shifts, and similarities that, to varying extents, refer to the first Biblical woman. Throughout both the national literatures, we observe forms of the pretext−posttext relation and concrete onymic functions of the name of Eve in the time span from the close of the 19th century to the present day

Вафли «Артек» в русскоязычных текстах культуры

In this article, the function of the brand name “Artek waffles” in Russian-language texts such as poetry, prose, and songs will be presented. For many years, the product name has been associated with the “Artek myth,” the sea and childhood, which has found confirmation in artistic texts. It is worth considering what meanings does the brand name encode today?In this article, the function of the brand name “Artek waffles” in Russian-language texts such as poetry, prose, and songs will be presented.

Черно море е зелено: Какво вижда Иван Вазов отвъд очертанията на Варна и Бургас?

The paper analyzes motives and messages neglected by literary historians in two short travelogues by Bulgarian national poet Ivan Vazov: One of Our Black Sea Pearls (1891) and On the Waves of the Black Sea (1921). The author reassesses the idea of the cities’ ties with Bulgarian tradition, examples of nationalistic attitudes, as well as the persistent approach to mythologizing the national future. The key conclusions are that the texts abound in examples of nationalistic speech; modernization of the two cities is conceived of as a) Europeanisation, and b) as economic development (with particular emphasis on the ports); the two texts reveal Vazov among the first Bulgarian writers to see the role of tourism as a guarantee of prosperity; the writer gives ethnic Bulgarians the wishful role of civilizing colonists; the development of the Black Sea region implies a change in the ethnic structure of the population.The paper analyzes motives and messages neglected by literary historians in two short travelogues by Bulgarian national poet Ivan Vazov: One of Our Black Sea Pearls (1891) and On the Waves of the Black Sea (1921).

Оценки и стереотипи в мъжко-женските отношения: поглед към скритите послания на паремиите

The subject of this review is Dimitrina Hamze’s book Gender Culture in Proverbs (Based on Material from Polish and Bulgarian Paremiology) – a valuable contributionto the interpretation of the elements of the cultural code related to the universal issues of male-female relations. Based on a multidisciplinary approach, the author (Associate Professor in Polish language and culture at Paisii Hilendarski University of Plovdiv), reveals the dynamic nature of the axiological meaning of proverbs. The most important results of the profound analysis carried out in the book include: exploring semantic zones of evaluation in the proverbs under investigation (beauty, love, marriage, infidelity, age, intelligence, etc.); recognition of the crypto-evaluative level of proverbial meaning that can stand in contrast to the explicit message; the author’s well-justified conclusion that stereotypes in gender-related proverbs appeal to overcoming rather than strengthening stigmatizing evaluation.The subject of this review is Dimitrina Hamze’s book Gender Culture in Proverbs (Based on Material from Polish and Bulgarian Paremiology) – a valuable contributionto the interpretation of the elements of the cultural code related to the universal issues of male-female relations.

Kontynuatorzy tradycji – twórczość piśmiennicza bułgarskich katolików w XIX wieku

The author discusses the latest book by Magdalena Abadżiewa, published in 2024, Книжнината на българите католици от XIX век и банатската книжнина, referring to some threads from the history of Bulgarian Catholics and their writings. She devotes particular attention to emigration themes – the works of Banat Bulgarians and the connections between their writing and the literature created in the country. Following Abadżiewa’s research, she writes about lexical parallels and similarities in terms of graphics and spelling, i.e. the assumptions of the linguistic norm developed at the end of the 18th century, common to the country and emigration.The author discusses the latest book by Magdalena Abadżiewa, published in 2024, Книжнината на българите католици от XIX век и банатската книжнина, referring to some threads from the history of Bulgarian Catholics and their writings.

Z dziejów kształtowania się dubrownickiej inteligencji. Przedstawiciele, instytucje, formy działania w I połowie XIX wieku

The article presents the most important phenomena related to the intellectual activity of Dubrovnik elites on the cultural level in the first half of the 19th century. The starting point of the text is the socio-class and religious image of Dubrovnik which allows for discussion of the intellectual atmosphere and its impact on cultural life in the city. An important part of the present analyses are also issues related to initiatives integrating Dubrovnik’s intelligentsia, as well as the importance of the 1830s and 1840s (with particular emphasis on 1848) for the changes taking place in the life of the city. The summary of the article emphasizes that Dubrovnik’s loss of independence did not mean the end of its rich tradition, but also enabled the formation of circles that played an important role in the Croatian national revival.The article presents the most important phenomena related to the intellectual activity of Dubrovnik elites on the cultural level in the first half of the 19th century.

Czasopismo „Biser” jako nośnik idei oświaty wśród bośniackich muzułmanów. Wartość progresywna i koncepcja emancypacyjna

The paper discusses the role and the importance of the “Biser” magazine as a medium of the idea of education among Bosnian Muslims with its progressive values and emancipatory concept. We will describe the socio-political circumstances caused by the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary in 1878, its annexation in 1908 and the situation of Muslims in this new reality. We also identify the most important institutions as tools for the education of Bosnian Muslims. So too are the conditions of the creation of the “Biser” magazine, its significant assumptions and goals. Main attention was paid to the presented religious values and dogmas of Islam and their impact on the emancipation of the Bosnian community. We conclude that this magazine has great merits for Bosnian Muslims, both in spreading awareness of the importance of education among them, promoting the ideas of enlightenment, progressive values and modernization, as well as emancipation.The paper discusses the role and the importance of the “Biser” magazine as a medium of the idea of education among Bosnian Muslims with its progressive values and emancipatory concept.

Адукацыйна-культурна-рэлігійны асяродак Баруны як “месца памяці”

The article reveals the contribution of Baruny village (Grodno region) to the history of Belarusian education, Eastern European art and Christian religion of the 17th–20th centuries, as well as the modern representation of Baruny heritage in the historical memory of Belarus. It is traced how the appearance of the icon and the expansion of the cult of the Baruny Mother of God, as well as the construction of the temple in the 17th–18th centuries, determined the founding and development of the village, its current historical prestige and sacred status. The foundation in 1617 and the educational tradition of Baruny is described, in particular, the bright phenomenon of the secular Basilian school of the Enlightenment era. Baruny is shown as one of the centers of the historical Church Union in Belarus, which still exists today. The result was a justification for applying the definition of “place of memory” to Baruny, the list of actors “promoting” this memory, and the indication of the forms of its expression.The article reveals the contribution of Baruny village (Grodno region) to the history of Belarusian education, Eastern European art and Christian religion of the 17th–20th centuries, as well as the modern representation of Baruny heritage in the historical memory of Belarus.
