Juraj Krizanic (1618-1683) was a Croatian polyhistorian and a proto-ecumenist. His life was extensively studied by the Croatian writer and theologist Ivan Golub (1930-2018). Golub's interest in ...Krizanic was both academic and literary, the latter resulting in several poems dedicated to Krizanic, in a literary biography of Krizanic, and also a script which he wrote for a documentary film depicting his life and deeds. Golub also referred to Krizanic in numerous essays, and even in his autobiography. This paper targets that part of Golub's opus, with special emphasis on the relationship between the documentary and fictional representation, i.e. on the objective and subjective techniques that Golub used in his depiction of the historical figure. Keywords Juraj Krizanic; Ivan Golub; Documentary; Literary Biography; Citation; Autobiographical Discourse.
U radu je analiziran prozni opus Frana Galovića koji obiluje prizorima smrti i ostalim motivima povezanima s njom. Prikazi smrti predstavljeni su kronološki prema godini nastanka djela, ali i ...grupirani i objašnjeni prema stilskim odrednicama. Galović neprekidno mijenja i modificira svoj stav o smrti, a osobito u kasnijim radovima zanima ga i problem onoga što dolazi poslije smrti. Sve to rezultira vrtlogom samoubojstava, danse macabre-a, fascinacije smrću i rušenjem svih barijera te, po nekim istraživačima, njegovim ponajboljim djelima, ali i povezanošću s biografskim elementima. Prikaz smrti i sa smrću povezanih fenomena u manje istraživanom području Galovićeve proze nametnuo nam se stoga kao potreban način tumačenja ovoga pisca.
This paper analyses the prose of Fran Galović, which abounds in death scenes and motifs related to it. The depictions of death are arranged chronologically according to the year of origin, but also grouped and explained according to stylistic determinants. Galović constantly changes and modifies his attitude about death, and especially in later works he is interested in the problem of what comes after death. His thoughts result in a whirlwind of suicides, dance macabre, fascination with death and breaking down all barriers. According to some theorists, those represent his best works, and a connection with biographical elements. The portrayal of death and death-related phenomena in the less researched area of Galović's prose has therefore imposed as a necessary way of interpreting this writer.
Rad se u prvom redu oslanja na tekstove objavljene u listu, a za razumijevanje novine važna su pisma glavnog urednika Mihovila Tomca poslana prevoditelju i suradniku Pavlu Rakošu (koja su u većoj ...mjeri obrađena u radu u kojom se autor bavio modelima financiranja lista). Kako bi se približio kontekst u kojemu izlaze listovi u tom razdoblju proučena je literatura koja se dotiče cenzure (Rauchensteiner, Novak, Stipčević…), političkih uvjeta u zemlji, ali i gradu (Krušelj, Šadek), starokatoličkog pokreta (Patafta) i povijesti novinskog nakladništva (Brešić, Gostl i dr., Topić… ). Analiziran je tjednik koji označava novu fazu razvoja koprivničkog nakladništva i doprinosi valorizaciji koprivničkog i podravskog novinskog nakladništva te detektira Pavla Rakoša. jednog od najvažnijih suradnika koprivničkog nakladnika i tiskara Vošickog, kao jednog od važnijih suradnika lista te definira osovinu Vošicki-Rakoš kao značajan pokretački kotačić tjednika, zajedno s nekim drugim ljudima i autorima poput Stjepana Zagorca.
The media started the year 2020 with various conjectures about COVID-19 prophecies, as announced in films, novels and even the Bible. They did not even shy away from equating the consequences of the ...plague with the ones of COVID-19, triggering various racist and xenophobic slurs in readers’ comments. Through the aspect of intertextuality and intermediality, this paper describes the situation in the global media space during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intensive use of intertextuality and intermediality is caused by satisfying the needs of the audience to reduce the fear of the unknown and become familiar with new concepts and new situations by connecting familiar and new content. The excessive amount of unknowns that existed especially at the beginning of the pandemic had to be replaced by earlier experiences to make it easier for the audience to adopt the desired patterns of behavior. Once patterns of behavior are adopted, they begin to be used for commercial purposes as well.

The area of Central Europe through its turbulent historical changes, shifting of national borders, wars, divisions and connections, marks the strongest record in literature of the two world wars, of ...course. Mutual reception of allied and opposing literatures was changing according to political parties, alliances and opposing blocks in order to again be apparently uniformed within the European Union. However, Croatia is the only Central European country which has experienced a big and difficult war in its recent history which was re-recorded in literature as well, but also in the horizon of expectations and literary reception of the Central European literary audience which was caught unprepared by the occurence of war in the immediate neighbourhood. This paper shows the change of literary reception researched through the analysis of the website contents of certain Central European countries, while the given results are put in the context of the historical heritage and national interactivity.
Rad je deskriptivna studija slučaja provedena formalnom analizom obilježja (engl. gameplay) videoigre Vještac III: Divlja potjera (engl. Witcher III: Wild Hunt). Cilj je rada utvrđivanje postojanja, ...razina i pojavnih oblika intertekstualnosti i tematskih područja, a svrha je prikazati razine intertekstualnosti i niz različitih načina na koje ih videoigra koristi, što doprinosi njezinoj interaktivnosti i odražava se na zanimljivost obilježja igre te, posljedično, na njezinu privlačnost i uspješnost. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da intertekstualnost postoji i da se pojavljuje na svim razinama igre, od njezine tematike, naslova i tema određenih misija do prikrivenih poruka. Intertekstualnost se u igri pojavljuje u verbalnom, pisanom i vizualnom obliku. U verbalnom obliku pojavljuje se kod interaktivnih, neinteraktivnih likova i pri upotrebi glazbe. Pisani se oblik pojavljuje u pismima, dokumentima i knjigama, ali i u imenima, nazivima područja i epitafima. Vizualna pojava intertekstualnosti implementirana je dizajnom okruženja videoigre i u umjetninama koje se nalaze u igri. Uz spomenuto, ističu se reference na samu igru unutar igre. S aspekta tematske pokrivenosti, intertekstualnost pokriva velik broj područja koja se isprepleću u odnosu na razine pojavnosti od kojih su najizraženija mitologija, reference na srednji vijek, književnost, likovnu i filmsku umjetnost, glazbu, kemiju, ekonomiju, gastronomiju, kao i općenita prožetost igre referencama na istraživače, otkrića i znanost. Istraživanje doprinosi boljem razumijevanju utjecaja i implementacije intertekstualnosti s aspekta izrade videoigara i s aspekta igranja videoigara.
This paper presents a descriptive case study based on the formal analysis of gameplay of the video game The Witcher III: Wild Hunt. The objective is to determine the occurrence, levels and thematic aspects of the phenomenon of intertextuality. The purpose of this research is to showcase the levels of intertextuality and several different ways in which it is used, all of which contribute to the game’s interactivity, game engagement and, consequently, its appeal and success. The research has shown that intertextuality permeates all levels of the game – starting from its theme, through the titles and storylines of certain quests, all the way to the hidden messages. Intertextuality in this video game takes on verbal, written and visual forms. In its verbal attire, it is present in interactive and non-interactive characters, but also in the music. In writing, it is visible in letters, documents and books, but also in personal names, site names and epitaphs. The visual phenomenon of intertextuality is implemented through the design of the video game environment and comes to light primarily through the artwork that can be seen within the game. An interesting expression of intertextuality at hand is the game’s meta-reference to itself. In terms of thematic coverage, intertextuality referred to herein encompasses a wide variety of intertwined areas in relation to incidence, the most prominent of which are mythology, references to the Middle Ages, literature, fine arts, film, music, chemistry, economics, gastronomy. Also, the game teems with mentions of researchers, discoveries and scientific facts. The research contributes to a better understanding of the implementation of intertextuality from both the aspect of creating and playing video games.
Nutrition’s significance lies at the very core of human existence - from fostering good health and upholding individual well-being to indulging in the pleasures of food, its importance is undeniable. ...Reviewing the scientific literature, diverse definitions of functional food try to define its meaning precisely. The food is labeled “functional” when it fulfills basic nutritional needs and positively influences health, diminishing the risk of specific diseases and enhancing overall vitality. Considering that food expenses constitute a substantial portion of household budgets, a significant economic dimension exists when planning an individual’s diet. The assortment of functional foods is constantly evolving, prompting modern consumers to analyze their dietary choices more rigorously than ever before. This surge in interest has evoked the attention of researchers, manufacturers, and consumers. However, a comprehensive analysis of Croatia’s consumer behavior and functional foods must still be available. The present study builds upon the theory of planned behavior, a framework well-fitted for social research and exceptionally skilled at investigating the multiple factors pointing to consumer decisions. Drawing insights from empirical research conducted in Croatia, a robust correlation was established through linear regression between attitudes, subjective norms, concern for personal health, and the intent to purchase functional foods.
