Research paper thumbnail of It Could Happen to a Bishop: Three 'Special' Songs by Lukijan Musicki

Serbian Studies, 2017

Mušicki provided at least 45 oral-popular obscene poems for Vuk. In this paper I focus on the three poems recorded under Mušicki’s name – and possibly also composed by him – and explore their literary historical content, using the theoretical framework of the theory of orality, Michel Foucault’s discourse on sexuality, and Mikhail Bakhtin’s discussion of the carnivalesque. I argue that these songs, apart from probing into the notion of authorship, also challenge some of the established notions regarding the emerging discourse on sexuality in modernity.

Мој рад се фокусира, поред Јелене Димитријевић, на Зејнеб Хануму, Халиде Едиб и Димитру Вака-Браун. Ове списатељице, као и Димитријевић, својим путописима доводе у питање доминантне жанровске, родне и националне дискурзивне моделе. Хибридна природа њиховог писања, њихов " искрени национализам и искрени космополитизам " , елузивни хомоеротицизам, иронија, мимикрија и родна маскарада у њиховим текстовима, њихова постколонијална песпектива — све то представља окружење које погодује настанку транснационалних и трансрегионалних идентитета. Настојим да покажем како потреба ових жена да премошћују физичке, културне и симболичке просторе може да се интерпретира као трајни допринос редефинисању доминантне националне културне географије.

Although they shared a number of literary motifs and interests, including the space of the Mediterranean and the modernist attraction to ancient Hellenic philosophical traditions, I argue that they approached these interests from fundamentally diff erent perspectives: while Camus' knowledge of ancient Greek thought was based on secondhand scholastic interpretations, Elytis' reading of ancient philosophical texts provided him with an original, intimate understanding of their literary and discursive qualities. I have also included original archival material which shows that Elytis was in an immediate literary dialogue with Camus during his writing of The Axion Esti.

Research paper thumbnail of Iphigenia as a Bestseller: The Cretan "Sacrifice of Abraham" and Its Slavic and Ottoman Nachleben

Soon after its composition the text entered the sphere of oral tradition and it was written down in various forms throughout the Greek-speaking world. In addition, the Cretan text also surpassed its initial linguistic framework by a series of translations which in turn became very popular: the Serbian translation by Vićentije Rakić (Žertva Avraamova, which is also the first known stage performance of the text, set up by Milovan Vidaković in the Serbian gymnasium of Novi Sad in 1836), the Bulgarian translation by Andrey Popdoynov Robovski (Služba, ili žertva Avraamova), as well as at least two Karamanlidic Turkish translations by Sophronios of Şile and Ioannikios of Kazanlık (Hazreti Avraamin... kurban hekyaesi). My paper focuses on the diachronic interaction of the elements of oral tradition, performativity, and Biblical myth characteristic of this text. The (post-)Ottoman Nachleben of the Cretan version raises some important questions about the modes of construction of literary histories and their narratives in Southeastern Europe, simultaneously comprising a somewhat unanticipated example of an early modern transnational literary text.
