Jože Žohar migrated »down under« to Australia in 1968 and struggles to pacify inside him the two homelands, Slovenia and Australia. In his three published collections of verse in the Slovene language ...(1990, 1995, 2004) the poet remains torn between the two countries, between Eros and Thanatos, between a unique erotic experiencing of the homeland and the wish for physical and spiritual ending and closeness of death, which brings deliverance. The article contextualizes his recently published book of verse Obiranje limon (2004) within recent theories of diasporic writing.
Različiti aspekti američke popularne kulture (SAD), od fast fooda do tada aktualne umjetničke scene, čine dio motivskog repertoara poezije Borisa Marune, koji je uz Viktora Vidu najbolji hrvatski ...emigrantski pjesnik. Odnoseći se spram karakterističnih simbola zemlje u kojoj se našao slijedom svoje zanimljive emigrantske i nomadske sudbine na humoran, ironičan i satiričan način, Maruna u stihovima dimenzionira svoj kritički i osporavateljski odnos spram Amerike kao obećane zemlje. S druge strane, Amerika je prostor konkretne uređene političke i društvene zbilje u kojoj se ipak mogao pronaći dostojan prostor slobode za avanturiste duha, napose u smislu seksualnog liberalizma i nesputanog tjelesnog ponašanja kao dijela popularne kulture, o čemu Maruna često govori u svojoj poeziji. Ono što nikada nije dolazilo u pitanje bila je ljubav spram hrvatske domovine, ali bez tonova patetičnog domotužja i plačne nostalgije, s kritičkim i ironijskim odmakom spram navika i običaja Hrvata, što je Marunu bitno udaljavalo od tipične matrice hrvatskih emigrantskih pjesnika i pisaca uopće.
Leposlovno delo slovenskih izseljencev lahko razvrščamo v različne sklope glede na specifiko njihovih "skupnih" tematik ali glede na njihove značilne literarne smeri in oblike, navezanost ali ...izoliranost od sočasno nastajajoče "domače" književnosti ter njuno medsebojno primerljivost, stopnjo literarnoestetske dognanosti itd. Prihodnje analize naj z zanesljivimi literarnoestetskimi merili izpostavijo vse tisto leposlovno delo slovenskih izseljencev, ki ima trajnejšo vrednost, in ga ustrezno umestijo v osrednja dela slovenske literarne zgodovine (sintetične preglede, leksikone, tudi komentirane zbirke klasičnih del) in v osnovnošolske, srednješolske in visokošolske učne vsebine, njihova najboljša dela pa v obvezna šolska berila.
U ovome su radu istraženi i opisani motivi, stil i poetika Malkice Dugeč, hrvatske pjesnikinje koja živi i radi u Stuttgartu u Njemačkoj. Težište rada je na analizi stilskih figura u autoričinu ...pjesništvu čitanih kroz prizmu studije Luke Zime „Figure u našem narodnom pjesništvu” te kroz prizmu čitanja modernih književnih povjesničara i teoretičara Cvjetka Milanje i Krešimira Bagića. U radu je istražena povezanost poezije Malkice Dugeč s dvama dominantnim modelima u hrvatskome pjesništvu druge polovice 20. stoljeća, gnoseološkom i semiotičkom, odnosno naraštajna autoričina pozicija. Posebna pažnja u radu se pridaje odnosu prema hrvatskome jeziku kao ne samo ključnoj temi autoričina lirskoga opusa, nego ujedno glavnoj preokupaciji njezina društveno-političkog angažmana. Istraživanjem se dolazi do zaključka kako Malkica Dugeč, kao jedna od najznačajnijih hrvatskih izvandomovinskih pjesnikinja, uvelike reprezentira nacionalnu književnost koja nastaje izvan Republike Hrvatske, a posebice hrvatsku emigrantsku književnost. Izvandomovinska pozicija snažno se upisala u strukturu autoričina pjesništva, u prvome redu na razini motiva, a potom i stila i stilske figuracije, što za posljedicu ima i relativnu distanciranost od aktualnih pjesničkih praksi matične, odnosno domovinske hrvatske književnosti.
This study examines the uniqueness of representing the image of Russia as an integral part of the artistic worldview in the autobiographical prose about childhood by first-wave Russian emigrant ...writers. The research is based on A.N. Tolstoy’s novella “Nikita’s Childhood” and I.S. Shmelev’s novel “The Lord’s Summer.” Comparative-historical, historical-literary methods, as well as the principle of comprehensive analysis of the ideological and artistic content of the texts, are employed. It is established that the image of Russia encompasses representations of the Russian people, nature, history, and generations. Time takes on mythological features, with historical and epic time shaping the narrative movement. The spatial dynamics are constructed as a contrast between city and village, where nature is animated and spiritualized. The concept of home emerges as a significant spatial parameter. In the novel “The Lord’s Summer,” it is intricately linked with the image of the church and sacralized. The central spiritual component of the world is embodied in the living image of Christ. The image of Russia is intertwined with themes of loss, with Moscow symbolized as the heart of the Motherland — Holy Rus’. Childhood and Russia are idealized, imbued with idyllic characteristics, while the image of a bygone era carries a nostalgic hue.
