The aim of this paper is to promote the concept of an educational dictionary for Serbian academic purposes, segmented in many different levels according to academic needs and educational degrees ...respectively. As support and argumentation for such academic glossaries, the authors present the results of their questionnaire analyses from October 2013, focusing on receptive and productive academic vocabulary knowledge among a representative sample of first-year philology students. The research aims to provide the necessary impulses for the implementation of the principles for academic vocabulary teaching and learning. The target group includes both high school and college students.
The analysis of Vladan Desnica’s novel Proljeća Ivana Galeba opens with an insight into the concept of literature dominant in Neoliberalism: such a concept is characterized by the enhancement of the ...didactical and the ludic function of literature, both of which are based on the need to represent social classes, that is, the need to include literature into present economic issues. We can therefore conclude that the cognitive function of literature is conspicuously missing, and that autopoetic statements of contemporary authors lack the link between truth and literature, which, for instance, is present in Andrić or Broch. This introduction is mandatory to access Desnica’s novel which emphasizes the function of literature to demonstrate naked human truth. The main thesis claims that in this this novel, Desnica foreshadowed the appearance of a floating subject which stands for the theoretical explanation of the character of postmodern Man. Desnica reaches his surmise by confronting the artistic figure of Ivan Galeb against the banality of civil existence, at the same time showing that the very figure is broached by banality, which distances Desnica from a discrete modernist celebration of it. In the passage entitled “Delta”, Desnica symbolically creates the concept of a subject, implying a distance from the artist/citizen opposition, and suggesting the future concept of the floating subject. It is a subject which denounces any form of metanarration and it is centered around a solid identity, effectively distancing itself from the will to power.
The main purpose of this monograph was a multiperspective look at the fate of the Serb population in a time, when patriarch Arsenije IV Jovanović Šakabenta (1726–1748) was its undisputed leader. It ...was a crucial moment in the history of the Serbs, due to the shift of focus in their spiritual and political life from Peć to Karlovci. For the Serbian community, who did not have its statehood then, it was undoubtedly a particularly significant event. The problems of the Serbs in the first half of the 18th century have been presented against the background of crucial events of the general history of the period. These include, among others, “the Tulip Period” in the Ottoman Empire (1718–1730), the Austrian-Turkish war (1737–1739) and the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748). The monograph is based on the lesser known sources which were collected during archival and library research in Serbia, Austria, Croatia and Russia.
