Teška i kontroverzna kulturna baština na primjeru Republike Turske
-
Bea Hrup U ovome se radu raspravlja o kulturnoj baštini, a posebno težište je stavljeno na definiranje teške baštine i probleme vezane uz taj pojam u kontekstu Republike Turske. Teška baština bavi se poviješću i temama iz prošlosti koje se ne uklapaju lako u osjećaj identiteta ljudske zajednice čiji su dio prošlosti ili povijesti te ukazuje na društvene razlike i sukobe. Kada neko društvo u potpunosti prihvati svoju tešku baštinu s ciljem suočavanja s njome, ona se može prestati...

The Centrality of the City in the African American Experience – the 1980s to Today
-
Luka Jurić The paper‟s main argument is the idea that the city plays a key role in formation of contemporary African American identity. To be more specific, the paper argues that the city is crucial in the experience of young black men living in the postindustrial variation of inner-city neighborhoods, i.e. the hood, since the paper presents its main argument through a reading of four different coming-of-age narratives: John Singleton‟s Boyz n the Hood (1991), Allen and Albert Hughes‟ Menace II...

The Concept of Time Travel in The Time Machine and “A Sound of Thunder”
-
Daniel Prebeg The thesis discusses the phenomenon of time travel and its usage in narratives. It covers the evolution of time travel stories, from the unexplained and coincidental time slips to the introduction of the time machine, which became one of the more recognizable tropes of science fiction in general. The ensuing discussion includes the influence that scientifical ideas and concepts had on SF authors and their work, as well as the inevitable paradoxes that arise from time travelling to the past....

The Depiction of Enlightenment Science in Thomas Pynchon’s Mason & Dixon
-
Neven Brlek The paper offers a reading of Thomas Pynchon’s Mason & Dixon (1997) in terms of its portrayal of technology, science, and, more broadly, Enlightenment thought. The argument is that the novel’s main concern is the inability to separate science out from the culture in which it is practiced and that scientific and technological progress are therefore deeply vulnerable to exploitation by political and economic systems. This conjunction of science, culture and politics is evinced by...

The Development of Female Identity in Asian American Women's Memoirs
-
Mirna Bognar This paper examines the development of the representation of identity in Asian American
women’s memoirs in the period around the Second World War. More accurately, it is interested
to see how memoirs can serve as a tool to create Asian American woman as a subject or, in
other words, how Asian American women use the genres of life-writing to create alternative
ethnic and gender narrative plots, thus subverting discourses of power, while also defying the
Western expectations...

The Difference between Anger and Ire in Middle English Texts
-
Filip Huić The aim of this paper was to understand the difference between the words anger (hanger, angur,
angre, angir) and ire, in Middle English, in order to comprehend how speakers of Middle English
conceptualized the two words. In turn, this would help explain their culture and their way of
thinking. To aid in this endeavour, the cognitive linguistic view of metaphor and metonymy was
used. Thus, two hypotheses were proven. Firstly, it was proven that these words are polysemous
in meaning...

The Dominant Language Constellations of young multilinguals in an international school in Croatia
-
Davor Lakuš Regardless of their location, international schools serve as paradigmatic multilingual enclaves. They gather and group multiple cultures under one roof. Given the scope and the spectrum of different languages and cultures present, the pupils and the teachers necessarily find a common communicative foothold in a lingua franca, which is most often English. Thus, the pupils attending international schools are most often multilinguals by default, as they use and are fluent in their heritage...
