Contributions to Baltic-Slavonic Relations in Literature and Languages – An Interdisciplinary Collection of Essays

Stephan Kessler (Hrsg.)
https://doi.org/10.30819/5497

As much as schol­ars of Baltic Stud­ies always claim inde­pen­dence for the lan­guages and lit­er­a­ture it involves, it is evi­dent that the Baltic and Slav­ic lan­guages and lit­er­a­ture have been and still are in latent con­tact and exchange. The his­tor­i­cal process­es had led to inter­wo­ven but dis­tinct cul­tur­al spheres ‚on the bor­der.‘ Our inter­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lec­tion of essays fol­lows sev­er­al bor­der­lines:

• Tere­sa Dalec­ka (Uni­ver­si­ty of Vil­nius) dis­cuss­es the Pol­ish lit­er­a­ture in Lithua­nia since 1990 and the envi­ron­ment that cre­at­ed it.
• Stephan Kessler (Uni­ver­si­ty of Greif­swald) sketch­es a frame­work of nar­ra­tion and applies it to a sto­ry writ­ten by Maks Fraj who lives in Lithua­nia but is from Odessa by ori­gin.
• Anna Stanke­viča, Inna Dvorec­ka, and Jeka­te­ri­na Gusako­va (each from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Dau­gavpils) give an overview of Latvia’s Rus­so­phone book mar­ket and analyse Vadim Vernik’s for­mu­la fic­tion.
• Sergei Kruk (Stradiņš Uni­ver­si­ty in Rīga) dis­cuss­es the Lat­vian con­cept of lin­guis­tic inte­gra­tion that roots in the roman­tic notions of social homo­gene­ity and lan­guage as being a shib­bo­leth for suc­cess­ful inte­gra­tion.
• Nicole Nau (Uni­ver­si­ty of Poz­nań) high­lights four tech­niques for the inte­gra­tion of Slav­ic verbs and ver­bal deriva­tion­al affix­es into Lat­galian, based on mate­r­i­al from the 19th to the 21st cen­tu­ry.
• Anas­tasi­ja Kostiučenko (Uni­ver­si­ty of Greif­swald), inves­ti­gates how the con­cept of hybrid­i­ty can be used to describe and bet­ter under­stand the lan­guage area and iden­ti­ty issues in South­east Lithua­nia.

Stereotypes and myths intertextuality in Central European imagological reflections

Tibor Žil­ka, Anna Zelenková, Krisztián Beny­ovszky
https://doi.org/10.3726/b19974

This book com­bines the the­o­ry of inter­tex­tu­al­i­ty and inter­me­di­al­i­ty with imago­log­i­cal reflec­tions. These are under­stood as a way of inter­cul­tur­al, hermeneu­ti­cal­ly ori­ent­ed sec­ondary com­mu­ni­ca­tion in which the analy­ses of „oth­er­ness“ do not serve for the pur­pos­es of pre­sent­ing one’s own self, but for under­stand­ing it. By pro­vid­ing tan­gi­ble text exam­ples from Cen­tral Euro­pean lit­er­a­tures (and oth­ers), the authors focus on the cir­cu­la­tion of „cul­ture images“ as a mul­ti­lay­er text, where real­i­ty is rep­re­sent­ed through ver­bal means and inter­pre­ta­tion­al pro­ceed­ings. These images emerged pri­mar­i­ly in the peri­od of ris­ing nation­al­ism and, to some extent, they per­sist to this day. The mono­graph thus opens a new per­spec­tive for the­o­ret­i­cal analy­sis of prob­lems.

Die Ukraine als Objekt russischer Großmachtansprüche: Sprachen, Identitäten und Diskurse

Björn Wiemer & Rain­er Goldt (Hrsg.)
https://doi.org/10.26530/20.500.12657/86052

This vol­ume brings togeth­er con­tri­bu­tions on the back­ground to the Russ­ian attack on Ukraine from a (socio-)linguistic, lin­guis­tic and lit­er­ary-his­tor­i­cal and polit­i­cal per­spec­tive. The empha­sis is not on day-to-day polit­i­cal events, but on facts and con­texts that have received lit­tle atten­tion to date. This reveals gaps in knowl­edge, mis­in­ter­pre­ta­tions and dis­tor­tions that are deeply root­ed not least in West­ern soci­eties. Here, rec­og­nized experts bring togeth­er a wealth of back­ground knowl­edge on the his­tor­i­cal and cur­rent con­texts of the Russ­ian-Ukrain­ian con­flict. In doing so, they help to reduce infor­ma­tion deficits and cor­rect mis­con­cep­tions about the East­ern Slav­ic lin­guis­tic and cul­tur­al area.
