Povezanost dimenzije sna i teorije o junačkom putovanju u "Srcu tame" Josepha Conrada

The goal of this paper will be to determine in what manner the archetype of the hero’s journey, as explained by Joseph Campbell, intertwines with the dream dimension and how much influence the environments and literary tropes that are characteristic for dreams in literature have on Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. Additionally, through the analysis of these elements, the paper will also touch upon some of the basic themes connected to the whole of Conrad’s opus, such as his overall pessimistic world-view, the decay of morality in characters who are separated from civilization, and, as a conclusion, present the results of the protagonist’s adventures while drawing parallels to the rest of Conrad’s works

"Tko je ovdje lud?" kao suvremena odiseja

The goal of this paper will be to demonstrate the ways in which the classical poem The Odyssey influenced its cinematographic adaptation in the form of the Coen brothers’ movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? while simultaneously analysing the changes that are present in the film. The Coen brothers are postmodern(ist) artists/filmmakers, so the paper will analyse the key characteristics of the movement that are present within the movie; furthermore, it will provide a detailed look at the various mythical tales that are combined within The Odyssey and their equivalents in the movie, the way the characters from the former work are personified in the latter, and the structure of the works themselves, while focusing mainly on the film adaptation. Besides those points, this paper will also focus on the significant role of music, together with the time period in which the movie is set, the subtle socio-political commentary present in the film, as well as the characteristics of the road movie genre
