Textual Conventions and the Encoded Reader in J. R. R. Tolkien's Translation of Beowulf
Textual Conventions and the Encoded Reader in J. R. R. Tolkien's Translation of Beowulf
Ivana Lipej
This thesis analyses J. R. R. Tolkien’s translation of Beowulf, an Anglo-Saxon poem considered the highest achievement of Old English literature. The theoretical framework of the paper consists of Barthes’ text on narrative codes and Brooke-Rose’s text on the encoded reader. A survey of certain aspects of Tolkien’s translation of Beowulf is given, in addition to its comparison to Seamus Heaney’s rendition. The last part of the discussion is dedicated to the analysis of Tolkien’s...
Teška baština Grada Koprivnice
Teška baština Grada Koprivnice
Petra Jakopiček
Ovim završnim radom iz muzeološke, povijesne i sociološke perspektive te teorije baštine, istražit će se i prezentirati pojam teške baštine, a primijenjeno na primjeru Spomen područja Danice, koprivničke sinagoge te židovskog groblja. Ti objekti dio su kulturne i povijesne baštine grada Koprivnice. Koprivnička sinagoga zaštićeni je spomenik kulture (koja ne obavlja više religijsku funkciju) i podsjetnik je, uz groblje, na židovsku zajednicu tog grada koja se, nažalost,...
Teška baština Nizozemske i Flandrije
Teška baština Nizozemske i Flandrije
Nina Šurina
Teška baština specifičan je oblik baštine koja prikazuje i podsjeća na događaje iz prošlosti koji su pogodili ljude, bilo da su ti događaji izazvani prirodnim katastrofama ili su učinjeni ljudskom rukom. Ona postoji kako bi prikazala surovu stvarnost potresnih događaja i bila podsjetnik i opomena, bez ikakvog uljepšavanja i umanjivanja situacije. Ona se bavi uznemirujućom prošlošću koju bi pojedinci možda htjeli zaboraviti. U ovom radu biti će prikazana teška baština...
Teška baština i ideološko nasljeđe
Teška baština i ideološko nasljeđe
Martina Gerovac
U radu ću predstaviti i definirati pojmove kulturna baština i teška baština te naznačiti osnovne razlike između njih. Teška baština izaziva drugačije osjećaje (primjerice nelagodu, tugu, sram, ljutnju) od poželjne afirmativne kulturne baštine nekog naroda. Budući da je teška baština često problematična zbog prošlosti na koju se referira i koja se pokušava zaboraviti ili negirati jer ona nosi ideološko nasljeđe povijesnog razdoblja, odnosno ideologije u kojoj je nastala,...
Teška i kontroverzna kulturna baština na primjeru Republike Turske
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...
That’s not my name! Translation of proper names in Croatian and Russian translations of George Orwell’s Animal Farm: A Fairy Story
That’s not my name! Translation of proper names in Croatian and Russian translations of George Orwell’s Animal Farm: A Fairy Story
Dora Lukač
The question of rendering proper names has raised a lot of attention over the years, especially when it comes to the translation of literary texts. The procedures for rendering proper names have been studied mostly in works belonging to the fantasy genre and children’s literature. Even though George Orwell’s Animal Farm belongs to neither of the two categories, it was deemed interesting for a study of this kind because of several reasons. First, it is subtitled A Fairy Story, revealing...
The Acquisition of Wh-questions in English and Croatian: A Case Study
The Acquisition of Wh-questions in English and Croatian: A Case Study
Leona Grgić
This case study followed the process of first language acquisition of a child learning the Croatian language. A Croatian girl named Franka was recorded in her home, by her parents, several times per month, from the age of two until the age of three years old. The goal of the study was to collect recordings of the child’s spontaneous speech in order to examine more closely the development of interrogative forms in children learning Croatian, as compared to children learning English as their...

The Centrality of the City in the African American Experience – the 1980s to Today
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”
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
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
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...
