Na sedlu severno od gradišča na Jelenšku nad Godovičem pri Idriji sta iskalca “ajdovskega zaklada z Jelenška” naletela na železnodobne grobove z bogatimi pridatki. Odkritju je leta 1993 sledilo ...zaščitno arheološko izkopavanje. Raziskanih je bilo 37 planih žganih grobov. Grobni pridatki kažejo zelo uniformno podobo in grobišče datirajo v mladohalštatski stopnji Sv. Lucija IIb2 in IIc. Med pokopanimi so bili bojevniki, rokodelec (livar), ženske in morda otroci. V članku kratko predstavljamo način pokopa in grobne pridatke ter utemeljujemo datacijo najdišča na primeru fibul. Sledi pred- stavitev nekaterih opažanj in izhodišč za analizo pomena najdišča v starejši železni dobi, ko je bil Jelenšek na meji dveh zahodnoslovenskih halštatskih skupin, posoške (svetolucijske) in notranjsko-kraške.
Svaka ozbiljna rasprava o prozi Vjenceslava Novaka uzima činjenicu nemogućnosti njezina smještanja u unaprijed zadani diskurzivni okvir kao normu. Od Frangeša do Nemeca, književna će kritika i ...teorija u Novakovim djelima s pravom uočavati elemente koji istovremeno potvrđuju i potiru nazore epohe. Ovaj će se rad, na primjeru ambivalentnoga tretmana lika Lucije Stipančić u romanu Posljednji Stipančići, baviti analizom upravo tih elemenata. Nema sumnje kako se kroz Lucijin lik prelamaju proturječni individualni i
društveni motivi. Ono što izaziva pozornost jest točka prijeloma: kritika postaje moguća tek u trenutku kada njezina realizacija više nije moguća.
Koristeći epistemološke uvide Foucaulta, Bachelarda i nazore performativne feminističke kritike (Butler), ali i Novakove estetske preokupacije (Čemu se uči teorija glazbe), u radu će se pokušati odgovoriti na pitanje u kojoj je mjeri moguće govoriti o umjetnički svjesnom činu subvertiranja epohalnoga jezika, a u kojoj je mjeri riječ tek o simptomatičnim ideološkim i diskurzivnim impulsima inherentno nazočnima u svakom
jezičnom iskazu.
Tennyson S. D. Joseph builds upon current research on the anticolonial and nationalist experience in the Caribbean. He explores the impact of global transformation upon the independent experience of ...St. Lucia and argues that the island's formal decolonization roughly coincided with the period of the rise of global neoliberalism hegemony. Consequently, the concept of "limited sovereignty" became the defining feature of St. Lucia's understanding of the possibilities of independence. Central to the analysis is the tension between the role of the state as a facilitator of domestic aspirations on one hand and a facilitator of global capital on the other.
Joseph examines six critical phases in the St. Lucian experience. The first is 1940 to 1970, when the early nationalist movement gradually occupied state power within a framework of limited self-government. The second period is 1970 to 1982 during which formal independence was attained and an attempt at socialist-oriented radical nationalism was pursued by the St. Lucia Labor Party. The third distinctive period was the period of neoliberal hegemony, 1982-1990. The fourth period (1990-1997) witnessed a heightened process of neoliberal adjustment in global trade which destroyed the banana industry and transformed the domestic political economy. A later period (1997-2006) involved the SLP's return to political power, resulting in tensions between an earlier radicalism and a new and contradictory accommodation to global neoliberalism. The final period (2006-2010) coincides with the onset of a crisis in global neoliberalism during which a series of domestic conflicts reflected the contradictions of the dominant understanding of sovereignty in narrow, materialist terms at the expense of its wider antisystematic, progressive, and emancipator connotations.
In the Shadows of Divine Perfection provides an examination of Derek Walcott's Omeros 1990)- the St. Lucian poet's longest work, and the piece that secured his Nobel Laureate-that reveals the ...deep-seated bond between the root narratives of ancient Greece to the cultural products and practices of the contemporary Caribbean. This book presents the first detailed reading of Walcott's highly controversial attempt to craft a Caribbean master narrative. This book also presents an overview of the poem's ideological orientation and a far-reaching critique of current postcolonial theory. Lance Callahan engages some of the most vexing problems of authenticity by reading Walcott's work alongside ancient Greek literature and culture.
The article discusses the cremation grave 25 from the Repelcfallow at Most na Soči, which contained the remains of a warriorequipped with a curved single-edged sword and a pilum-likeweapon. ...The fill of the badly damaged grave pit yielded a potteryfragment with combed decoration, while a bronze fibula ofthe Middle La Tène scheme was found on the grave’s surfaceand probably also formed part of the grave unit. The swordbelongs to the group of the latest versions of Iron Age machairas,known exclusively from central and western Slovenia. Two ofthese were found in the Ljubljanica River, at the Ljubljana Moor,and two are of unknown provenance. The composition of theRepelc grave not being entirely reliable and other swords es-caping chronological determination, both result in the date ofthe Ljubljanica type swords remaining open. Based on the similaritywith the grave contents of the La Tène Idrija group, the pre-sumed typological development of the machairas with a ten-dency towards prolongation of the blade, and other instancesof the Hallstatt weapon forms being used during the Late IronAge in the south-eastern Alpine area, the authors are inclinedtowards dating the grave in the last two centuries BC
U raspravi i Serafina Razzija autori na temelju poznavanja svih fabulacija o bokeljskoj blaženici i to kako one stihovane (Vicka Bolice Kokoljića, Vicka Dudana i Dominika Cecića) tako i one prozne ...kao i historiografske (Serafino Razzi, Andrija Balović i anonim u Šibenskom rukopisu) po prvi put uočavaju šifrirani spomen Ozane Kotorke u jednoj od pjesama Mavra Vetranovića o Orlači Riđanki. Nakon što su u raspravi podastrti detaljni uvidi u književne izvore o životu Ozane Kotorke s posebnim je interesom osvijetljen do danas neuočen odnos Girolama Savonarole s hrvatskom književnošću i to posebno s obzirom na koncept bene beateque vivendi kojim je firentinski mučenik kako u vrijeme života a tako i post mortem izvršio izravan utjecaj na Marka Marulića.
