Lexico-semantic analysis of the concept «family» in the Lak paremiology
Authors: Abakarova Mariana
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes proverbs constituting the concept «family». The research was based on the semantic analysis, quantitative analysis, cognitive analysis and the descriptive method. Lak proverbs served as material for the study. Quantitative analysis revealed 16 lexemes representing the concept «family» the most representative of which is ninu. The proverbs were subdivided into the following lexico-semantic layers: (1) the choice of a spouse and creation of a family; (2) the relationship between the spouses; (3) the relationship between the siblings; (4) the relationship between the parents and their children. The proverbs revealed axiological aims of the Lak people in relation to the family. Laks are very responsible in the questions of forming a family. Family life is lauded, while solitude is condemned by the society. The man is the head of the family while the wife is the guardian of the hearth. A woman who has a husband is highly regarded by society. The relationship between siblings are in accordance with the general patriarchal traditions of the Lak way of life. Brothers support each other in everything and are the defenders of their sister. Parents rule the family and they instill the basic values in their children. Daughters tend to imitate their mother while the sons take after their father. As a rule, the daughter is judged based on her mother’s image and the sun is judged based on his father’s image. There are corresponding proverbs in the Lak language. Many of those proverbs are allegorical in their nature and include zoomorphisms and phytonyms. The aim of such proverbs is didactic. The concept «family» has not been studied as an autonomous topic earlier in the Lak language which renders this research relevant
Diversification of the rural economy as a factor of their sustainable development (by the example of the south- and north-eastern regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan)
Authors: Akhmetov Vilyur , Divaeva Elvira
Published: March 2024

Diversification of the rural economy is one of the priorities of their sustainable development. This is reflected in the state program «Integrated Rural Development» for 2020–2025 approved on June 4, 2019. In accordance with this and other federal programs, rural development programs are also being developed at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
In the Republic of Bashkortostan, the state program «Integrated development of rural Territories of the Republic of Bashkortostan» (as amended on December 8, 2020) was approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan No. 728 dated December 12, 2019, which replaced the subprogram «Sustainable development of rural territories of the Republic of Belarus until 2020» of the state program «Development of agriculture and regulation of agricultural markets products, raw materials and food in the Republic of Belarus». In addition, on the instructions of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Institute of Socio-Economic Research of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences has developed two sub-regional programs for the development of depressed south- and north-eastern regions of the region for
2011–2015 (extended until 2024).
Within the framework of this article, the expediency of their adjustment and inclusion in them of promising projects for the diversification of the rural economy — new «points of growth» in relation to specific municipal areas, which are various areas of the processing industry, small and
medium-sized businesses, tourism, folk crafts and crafts, agricultural production and consumer cooperation. The inclusion of proposals for the development of ethnic entrepreneurship and ethnic cooperation, ethnic brands of the Trans-Urals and the North-East of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the programs is being updated.
Teacher success in context of modern principles of Russian higher education
Authors: Fetisova Olʹga
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of strategies for the success of university teachers in the context of the basic principles of modern higher education in Russia — managerialism and academism. Based on an analysis of the socio-cultural and socio-economic aspects of the activities of a higher school teacher, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that the ideology of success imposed by managerialism is incompatible with the high mission of the university. As forms of achieving a goal, success and success are specific results. The university and the teacher, in particular, form the ideology of serving the profession — such is the long-term impact of higher education on the entire subsequent life of a person and on the social space as a whole. And such prolonged exposure has a delayed effect that cannot be assessed in the short term. The article emphasizes that there is an ongoing conflict between managerialism and the professional ethics of university teaching staff, which is based on the principle of academicism. Relations in the university environment between generations are built on mentoring, on the formation and functioning of scientific schools, which fundamentally contradicts the individualism of the ideology of success and success. Rivalry as an integral component of managerialism destroys the educational space of higher education, first of all, due to the implantation of an ideal of success that cannot be realized in this environment. The success of a higher education teacher cannot be assessed in accordance with quantitative criteria. Participation in prestigious international scientific conferences, high-quality scientific publications, effective teaching of academic disciplines, including the use of innovative teaching methods, development of promising scientific topics and involvement of students in research — this is what forms the basis for the success of university teachers. In addition, in the context of the development of modern media, it is necessary to remember the importance of creating a brand of a successful university and an attractive image of science in general, and in this vein, a success strategy can be built as a «populist» one, aimed at achieving fame for a particular teacher or scientific group, department, creative team not only in the student and teaching environment of a particular university, but also in the media, which works to create a positive competitive image of the university in the educational and cultural space at the regional, federal and international levels.

Authors: Shkolik Oleg
Published: March 2024

The article research the problematic issues of foreign economic activity and, in general, the financial and economic activities of commercial organizations with foreign investments operating in the field of precious metals mining. The author considers the dual nature of foreign direct investment as a factor that simultaneously contributes to the development of the national economy and creates risks and threats in the field of protecting and ensuring the security of the national economy from external interference. In the article, the author draws attention to the specific factors of foreign investment in the field of industrial production and mining, including the prevalence of the re-export nature of foreign investment and its causes, as well as the period of turnover of investments, which are also influenced by exchange rate differences. The article focuses on the consideration of specific sanctions that have been imposed on the sector of mining and production of precious metals, reveals their essence and specifics, and assesses their direct negative impact on mining and manufacturing enterprises in general, as well as their negative impact on commercial organizations with foreign investments, in particular. Sanctions are considered in the context of private and public sanctions measures, as well as from the position of countering them from the economic entities themselves. The article also examines the issues and provides a description of the practical aspects of direct
anti-sanction and indirect public financial regulation, adversely affecting the financial and economic results of domestic enterprises operating in the field of production and extraction of precious metals

Published: March 2024

Resumo Este estudo analisa os impulsionadores dos níveis de transparência nos municípios colombianos desde a perspectiva dos cidadãos (teoria da agência) e dos governos locais (teoria da legitimidade). Para isso, usamos erros padrão corrigidos por painel (PCSE) e um estimador de sistema GMM em um conjunto de dados de mais de 1.101 municípios colombianos durante cinco anos (2012-2016). Nossos resultados mostram que a autonomia fiscal, a educação, o produto interno bruto per capita, o tamanho da população e a participação política estão positivamente associados à divulgação de informações públicas na Colômbia. Este estudo contribui para a literatura sobre transparência em governos subnacionais em países em desenvolvimento, examinando determinantes relacionados às “capacidades de monitoramento dos cidadãos” e às “pressões por legitimidade” na Colômbia.

Published: March 2024

Resumo O ambiente influência nas escolhas alimentares dos indivíduos. Áreas urbanas vulneráveis, como favelas, podem ter um efeito decisivo em desestimular o consumo de alimentos frescos, com alto poder nutritivo. Essa questão é ampliada pela infraestrutura urbana necessária para que os alimentos frescos cheguem a esses locais. Assim, é essencial entender o contexto das áreas de favela do município de São Paulo em termos de ambiente alimentar e infraestrutura para apoiar o desenho de políticas públicas que aumentem a presença de alimentos minimamente processados nesses locais. Para isso, aplicamos o método de clusterização k-means com dois conjuntos de dados: ambiente alimentar das áreas de favela, caracterizado por estabelecimentos de alimentos, e infraestrutura urbana das favelas do município de São Paulo. Das 1.701 favelas da cidade, apenas 271 têm estabelecimentos alimentares formalmente cadastrados. As favelas maiores e com melhor infraestrutura urbana apresentaram, em geral, um ambiente alimentar com maior acesso a alimentos frescos. Os resultados sugerem que investir em infraestrutura urbana pode ter um efeito positivo sobre o acesso a alimentos frescos nessas áreas. É necessário ainda considerar as especificidades locais para encontrar soluções eficazes que aumentem a disponibilidade de alimentos minimamente processados, melhorando a qualidade de vida e a saúde da população.
Political dynamics in policymaking of freedom of information in Brazil
Authors: Oliveira Júnior Temístocles Murilo de , Monteiro Cristiano Fonseca
Published: March 2024

Abstract Freedom of information (FOI) policymaking in Brazil is portrayed as a “successful story.” Data on adherence of the Brazilian legislation to international standards indicates its FOI institutions are in the top-ten group in the substantive dimension of FOI but are the last when it comes to the procedural dimension. What mechanism has driven this process to produce such ambivalence? This study assumes that FOI policymaking in Brazil represented an ambiguous legitimacy-based emulation process, oriented toward homogenization to the international field, but without breaking the governmental control over information. It draws on theoretical work on policy diffusion focusing on emulation and uses theories on conflicts and negotiation for power as drivers of policymaking. The results suggest this process was forged by political dynamics of disputes and compromises, and its outcomes derived from political trade-offs between key actors on controversial issues. Thus, the results materialized the preferences of non-governmental actors for a larger scope and no “eternal secrecy” and assured government offices’ prerogatives on implementation and their final decision on appeals. This case may represent a broader phenomenon, considering that comparative data indicates that this ambivalence in adherence between substantive and procedural dimensions is more significant in Latin America than in other regions.

Published: March 2024

Objective: to examine the nursing team’s view of the repercussions of moving patients (admissions, transfers and discharges) on the organization of work and the delivery of care. Method: this is a qualitative study using the focus group technique, conducted with 23 professionals - 12 nurses, eight nurse technicians and three nurse assistants working in three inpatient units at a teaching hospital in the countryside of Sao Paulo. Four meetings took place between November 2021 and March 2022. The reports were analyzed thematically using MAXQDA software. Results: two thematic categories emerged: the influence of structural factors and work organization on the intra-hospital moving of patients; it demands time, generates work overload and interferes with the delivery of care. Conclusion: the volume of moving patient associated with unforeseen demands, care complexity and insufficient staff and resources have a negative impact on the delivery of care, with clinical risks and work overload. The findings make it possible to improve the regulation of patients entering and leaving the units, work organization and care management, avoiding clinical risks, delays, omissions and work overload.

ABSTRACT Viticulture is the main agricultural production in the São Francisco Valley, Brazil; however, farm soil management systems require large volumes of fertilizer that could contribute to climate change. Therefore, using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been reported to reduce or replace plant input. This study aimed to evaluate the bacteria in the rhizosphere of Vitis vinifera cultivated in the São Francisco Valley in Pernambuco, Brazil, and to characterize the mechanisms that promote plant growth. The PGPR with the greatest biotechnological potential was identified using sequencing. The bacteria were isolated from tryptic soy agar (TSA) culture medium inoculated with 100 µL of a serial dilution. The isolates obtained were characterized phenotypically and tested for their ability to solubilize phosphate, promote biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), and produce indole-3 acetic acid (IAA), biofilms, and antibiotic factors against Xanthomonas campestris pv. viticola. A total of 423 bacteria were obtained, of which 99 presented positive results for at least one of the growth-promotion mechanisms, representing 6.85% for phosphate solubilizers, 0.74% for BNF, 5.7% for IAA synthesizers, 11.27% for biofilm producers, and 4.01% for promoting antibiosis against X. campestris pv. viticola. Isolates 3.19 and 31.14; 3.17 and 17.04; 5.35 and 5.42; and 5.37 identified as Stenotrophomonas, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Clostridium, respectively, presented a biotechnological potential for future experiments to promote vine growth.

ABSTRACT Grain yields of rice (Oryza sativa) are affected globally by rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae). The main objective of this study was to identify isolates of rhizobacterial antagonists of M. oryzae (BRM10781) and screen the most effective isolates for suppressing rice blast under greenhouse conditions. Two assays (E1 and E2) were performed with 22 treatments in a completely randomized design with three replicates. E1 investigated in vitro antagonism between 21 isolates and M. oryzae under laboratory conditions. The E2 experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions, with rice cultivar BRS Primavera seeds in plastic trays containing 3 kg of fertilized soil. After 21 days, the rice leaves were spray-inoculated with a bacterial cell suspension (1 × 108 CFU) and M. oryzae (3 × 105 conidia.mL-1) or with water (absolute control). Seven isolates, Serratia marcescens (BRM65918, BRM65923, BRM65926, and BRM63532), Bacillus cereus (BRM65919), Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens (BRM65917), and Priestia megaterium (BRM65929), reduced radial growth of M. oryzae colonies from 80.26 to 77.33%. The best leaf blast severity reducers were Pseudomonas nitroreducens (BRM32112), B. thuringiensis (BRM65928), P. megaterium (BRM65916), S. marcescens (BRM65918), S. nematodiphila (BRM63522), and Enterobacter hormaechei (BRM65925), varying from 97 to 95% respectively. The isolate BRM65918 (S. marcescens) showed the best efficiency for both antagonism and disease suppression, indicating its potential as a bioproduct for the biocontrol of rice blast in rice plants.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT Understanding how weeds resist herbicides, their resistance mechanisms, and alternative control methods are crucial for managing herbicide-resistant weeds. This study aims to unravel the resistance mechanism of a Raphanus raphanistrum biotype to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. To this end, dose-response studies, DNA sequencing, and metabolic pathway verification were conducted. ALS-inhibiting herbicides showed low efficacy in controlling this biotype, confirming cross-resistance. Sequencing of the ALS enzyme revealed the presence of the previously reported Try-574-Leu mutation, known to confer cross-resistance to this mode of action. However, the metabolization verification assay demonstrated that this mechanism did not contribute to the observed resistance. Chemical control studies with alternative herbicides yielded promising results, indicating the potential for effective management of the resistant biotype. Our findings showed that the wild radish biotype used exhibits cross-resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides due to the presence of the Try-574-Leu mutation in the target enzyme. Notably, herbicides with alternative mechanisms of action prove highly effective in controlling this resistant biotype, offering valuable options for weed management strategies.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT Drosophila suzukii is an exotic pest identified in Brazil in 2013 that has the potential to cause quantitative and qualitative losses to small fruit crops. Its wide range of hosts and short life cycle combined with continuous fruit availability make its management challenging. Insecticide application is the main control strategy currently used; however, this control method is highly harmful to human health and the environment. The strategy of using toxic bait contributes to reductions in insecticide application in in terms of total area. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of toxic baits on adult Drosophila suzukii under laboratory conditions. Four bioassays with different treatments were conducted to test different ready-to-use toxic baits, as well as homemade and commercial bait formulations combined with insecticide. Twenty µL of each toxic bait were offered to 5 five-day-old pairs of D. suzukii for 2 hours. Adult mortality was assessed at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after exposure. All toxic baits caused mortality ranging from 10% to 65%. The toxic bait Droskidrink + 0.15% malathion + 0.3% sugar resulted in 65% adult mortality, denoting potential for evaluating the management of D. suzukii in semi-field and field studies.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT Pitaya (Selenicereus spp.) is a tropical fruit tree belonging to the Cactaceae family, native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. Your cultivation has been considered promising due to its organoleptic characteristics and its high acceptance in the market. However, little information is available about pests associated with pitaya in northeastern Brazil. Here, we aim to communicate the identification and record of the occurrence of a pest insect in a pitaya plantation in the Caatinga. Caterpillars of this lepidopteran were collected from parts of pitaya plants, in January 2021, in the municipality of São João do Cariri, PB (7° 23'27” S, 36°31'57” W), placed in plastic containers and transported to the Invertebrates Laboratory of the Biosciences Department at the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Paraíba, in the municipality of Areia, PB. Under laboratory conditions, the caterpillars were fed with pitaya shoots and kept in an environment with controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. When they reached the pupal stage, they were transferred to a cage and kept until the adults emerged. Identification of the adult was carried out by a specialist, by comparison with specimens from the Reference Collection of the Laboratory of Ecology and Interactions of Insects of the Caatinga (CLEIIC), belonging to the Federal University of Campina Grande, Patos, PB. The lepidopteran is Aricoris campestris (Bates, 1868), belonging to the Riodinidae family, Nymphidiini tribe, which also attacks other cacti in the region and has already been recorded in other areas in northeastern Brazil.

ABSTRACT Inflow prediction on sub-seasonal timescale have the potential for important contributions to the management of water resources in hydroelectric dam operations. These forecasts challenge the limitations of the medium-term and extend it, bridging a long-standing technical-scientific gap in the forecasting field. In Brazil, the use of sub-seasonal hydrological predictions can boost the hydroelectric production of the National Interconnected System (SIN), since inflow forecast in reservoirs of up to 2 weeks are routinely used using a rain-flow model. This study aimed at the statistical evaluation of hydrological forecasts of up to 6 weeks using a hydrological-hydrodynamic model on a continental scale associated with ensemble precipitation forecasts generated by an atmospheric model, producing future streamflow in the continent basins, and consequently at the SIN’s hydroelectric dams. The statistical evaluation was based on deterministic scores typically used by the SIN operating agent, and additionally we assessed the skill of forecasts based on atmospheric models in relation to simpler forecasts based on the climatology of observed inflows. The performance of the forecasts varies according to the season and geographic location, that is, depending on different hydrological regimes. The best performances were obtained in dams located in the southwest and central-west regions, which have well-defined seasonality, while dams in the south showed greater sensitivity in metrics according to the season. The study presented serves as a technical-scientific contribution for agents and decision makers who seek to improve water resource management by incorporating extended forecasts into the operational chain.

Authors: MORAES-FILHO Joaquim Prado P , DOMINGUES Gerson , CHINZON Decio
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a prevalent condition in Brazil, affecting 12% to 20% of the urban population, with significant implications for patient quality of life and potential for complications. Objective: This paper focuses on the recent update of the Brazilian guidelines for GERD, a necessary revision due to advancements in knowledge and practice since the last publication over a decade ago. The update pays particular attention to the role and safety of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), acknowledging the growing concerns about their long-term use, adverse events, and overprescription. Methods: The methodology of the guideline update involved an extensive literature review in multiple languages (English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese), drawing from major databases such as Medline, Embase, and SciELO-Lilacs. Results: This comprehensive approach resulted in a carefully curated selection of studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, specifically focusing on PPIs and other therapeutic strategies for GERD. The updated guidelines are presented in a user-friendly question-and-answer format, adhering to the PICO system (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes) for clarity and ease of interpretation. The recommendations are supported by robust scientific evidence and expert opinions, enhancing their practical applicability in clinical settings. To ensure the reliability and clarity of the recommendations, the GRADE system (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) was employed. This system categorizes the strength of recommendations as strong, weak, or conditional and classifies evidence quality as high, moderate, low, or very low. These classifications provide insight into the confidence level of each recommendation and the likelihood of future research impacting these guidelines. Conclusion: The primary aim of these updated guidelines is to offer practical, evidence-based advice for the management of GERD in Brazil, ensuring that healthcare professionals are equipped with the latest knowledge and tools to deliver optimal patient care.

Resumo Este artigo objetivou verificar a relação entre os fatores socioeconômicos e a pandemia da covid-19 nos municípios de médio porte mineiros. O procedimento de análise de dados foi a modelagem de equações estruturais de mínimos quadrados parciais. As variáveis utilizadas foram vulnerabilidade, saneamento, renda, agravantes, vacinação, casos de covid-19, mortalidade por covid-19, hospitalização e doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Os dados foram coletados no Índice Mineiro de Responsabilidade Social, no painel de monitoramento dos casos de covid-19 e no painel de monitoramento de vacinação contra covid-19. O recorte temporal foi determinado pelo início da pandemia e a disponibilidade de dados (março de 2020 a setembro de 2021). Os resultados evidenciaram que melhores condições de saneamento estão negativamente relacionadas aos casos de covid-19, a renda está positivamente relacionada com os casos de covid-19 e a taxa de mortalidade por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis está relacionada de forma positiva com a mortalidade por covid-19. Os casos de covid-19 têm impacto negativo na hospitalização e a hospitalização tem impacto positivo na mortalidade. Os casos moderados pela vacinação estão negativamente relacionados à mortalidade por covid-19. Os resultados confirmam que condições socioeconômicas menos favoráveis tornam a sociedade mais vulnerável a covid-19.

O desenvolvimento sustentável é pauta prioritária para a sociedade do século XXI. A universidade brasileira, na missão de trabalhar temas relevantes e atuais, para a solução de problemas reais, é chamada a contribuir com a pauta da sustentabilidade. O estudo tem por foco a pesquisa acadêmica no Desenvolvimento Sustentável na Educação Superior (DSES). A partir da revisão de literatura nacional e internacional, tem por objetivo refletir possibilidades de contribuição da universidade brasileira para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Trabalha com a questão: como a universidade brasileira pode contribuir com o desenvolvimento sustentável? A metodologia, de cunho qualitativo, comporta a revisão de literatura, em revistas especializadas. Fizemos buscas nas bases de dados Scopus considerando os descritores: Higher Education for Sustainability Development; Education for Sustainability Development; Education for Sustainability. A maioria das pesquisas selecionadas, a partir de 2014, são das revistas: Journal of Cleaner Production e International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education. Ambos os periódicos foram priorizados por apresentarem, além de farto material para pesquisa, fator de impacto superior a 1,00 (THOMPSON REUTERS). Os resultados apontam para a necessidade das universidades trabalharem na perspectiva de uma gestão sustentável, de um currículo acadêmico sustentável e na capacitação docente integral. Conclui-se que este estudo contribui com a educação superior brasileira na indução da construção de Políticas de Sustentabilidade Sistêmica alinhadas entre universidades, governos e setor produtivo.
SIMULATION OF CAPILLARY WAVE TURBULENCE ON THE BASIS OF FULLY NONLINEAR PLANE-SYMMETRIC MODEL
Authors: Kochurin Evgeny A. , Zubareva Olga V. , Gashkov Mikhail A.
Published: March 2024

A new model for the direct numerical simulation of capillary wave turbulence arising at a free surface of deep incompressible fluid is proposed in the work. The plane-symmetric model based on the time-dependent conformal transform is fully nonlinear and takes into account the effects of surface tension, external random forcing and dissipation of energy. The simulation results show that the system of nonlinear capillary waves can go into a quasi-stationary state (wave turbulence regime), when the action of an external force is compensated by the viscosity. In this regime, the fluid motion demonstrates quite complex and irregular behavior. The spatial and frequency spectra of surface perturbations acquire a power-law dependence in the quasi-stationary state. The exponents of the spectra do not coincide with the classical Zakharov-Filonenko spectrum obtained for isotropic capillary turbulence. In the case of anisotropic quasi-1D geometry, five-wave resonant interactions become the dominant process. The numerical results agree with high accuracy with the corresponding analytical spectra obtained on the basis of dimensional analysis of weak turbulence spectra.

Regulatory, infrastructure investment, and cybersecurity challenges remain.Originality:This article provides an up-to-date comparative analysis between the state of adoption of 5G tech-nology globally and in Colombia.Limitations:Focuses on success stories and regulatory, safety and pilot aspects.
The Financial Millennium
Authors: Brunton Finn
Published: March 2024

As a financial technology with a millenarian attitude, cryptocurrencies were bound to produce their own heretics and schismatics. Communicating over Telegram channels, conference calls, symbol-laden images, and multi-hour YouTube videos, believers assert that Bitcoin and Ethereum are the exoteric forms of the hidden “chosen one”: XRP, a prominent but not industry-leading cryptocoin. For those who believe, XRP is one component of a total economic and social transformation under a set of secret laws about to be revealed. Elites will be brought low, believers will become rich, global financial infrastructure will be rebased in a jubilee, and miraculous technologies and beings will be disclosed. For many theorists, this monetary apocalypse is part of an explicitly Christian apocalyptic event. In this article, I draw on archives across a variety of formats to explain the evolution of an apocalyptic crypto sect and use these archives to reflect on the context and future of religious imaginaries in the blockchain space.

JEZIK O SUVREMENOJ POEZIJI I SUVREMENA POEZIJA O JEZIKU
Authors: Mrkonjić Anamarija , Vasilj Darko
Published: March 2024

Rad se bavi lingvističkom i lingvostilističkom analizom suvremene hrvatske poezije, bazirajući se na odabranome korpusu hrvatskih pjesničkih zbirki objavljenih u posljednjih tridesetak godina, pritom se oslanjajući na teorijske koncepcije poezije i pjesničkoga jezika. Pjesničkomu se jeziku pristupa kao autonomnomu i autentičnomu sustavu koji na različitim razinama preispituje, širi i preosmišljava "obični" jezik te razvija vlastitu logiku i gramatičnost u službi kreiranja i reprezentacije osebujnih umjetničkih svjetova. U okviru analize, koja je mjestimično združena s interpretativnim pristupom, izdvaja se, objašnjava i oprimjeruje osam odabranih segmenata suvremenih pjesničkih tekstova, što uključuje specifičnu uporabu interpunkcijskih znakova, prilagodbu posuđenica, višerazinsku polifoniju, mehanizme zamjene jednoga izraza drugim prema određenomu načelu (metafora i bliski fenomeni), sintaksu poezije, intertekstualnost, neologizme i tematiziranje jezika kao gradbenoga materijala poezije. Pozornost se osim na pjesnički izraz usmjerava i na sadržajnu razinu, točnije na pjesničko promišljanje o riječima, govoru i jeziku, njihovoj naravi i granicama. Uz osvrt na ranije zastupane lingvističko-filozofske teze raspravlja se i o komunikacijskim kvalitetama poezije te strukturi i složenosti (suvremenoga) pjesničkog koda.
OSVRT NA DVA LIKA SUVREMENOSTI HRVATSKOG PJESNIŠTVA 1990. – 2022.
Authors: Rogić Nehajev Ivan
Published: March 2024

The author begins by presenting the standpoint that it is important to differentiate between two fundamental sets of facts in contemporary Croatian poetry (1990 – 2022).The first set arose due to the pressure of external factors. The author mentions five such factors. These are: the revival of "public knowledge" about Croatian poetry due to lifting the ban on certain author names; an increase in the number of female authors; a surge of works in the chakavian and kajkavian "varieties"; a change in public attitudes towards religious poetry; the founding of a specific publishing infrastructure where the work of both public and private publishing houses is combined. The second set of facts emerged due to the internal dynamics of contemporary Croatian poetry itself. Within this set, the author distinguishes between two levels. A special technical pragmatism has been established at the first level, thus allowing authors to freely employ different layers of modern literary heritage. This technical pragmatism is supported by the strive towards authorial singularity and a specific resistance towards the act of reducing poetic autonomy to the existing social context. At the second level, the author describes the presence of four distinct lyrical subject in the practices of contemporary Croatian poetry. These are: the chronicler of existence; the cartographer of enigmatic everyday life; the creator of linguistic boundaries; the advocate of spirituality. Dynamic relationships between these two levels create a "pluripoetic" field where different technical approaches intersect with certain traces of these mentioned lyrical subjects. The author points towards an intricate "conclusive" image of contemporary Croatian poetry. However, it is suggested that the reliance on the outlined analytical foundations may lead to the appropriate critical and research approaches which could deal with this complexity. Their point of emergence is literary criticism, that also started as a literary text.
U VELIKIM POTEZIMA – OSVRT NA DUGU PJESNIČKU SUVREMENOST
Authors: Oblučar Branislav
Published: March 2024

U članku se suvremena hrvatska poezija razmatra kroz prizmu ideje o dugoj suvremenosti (na tragu uvida Stipe Grgasa o suvremenoj američkoj književnosti). U prvome dijelu donosi se osvrt na antologije i studije u kojima se devedesete godine tretiraju kao nova etapa suvremenog pjesništva, koja se redovito sagledavala i u širem vremenskom okviru koji seže sve do 1950-ih. U središnjem dijelu članka pažnja se posvećuje zamislima o poeziji iznesenima u esejima Antuna Šoljana i Branka Maleša, u kojima se izlažu oprečni pogledi na pjesnički tekst. Ova se opreka zatim uspostavlja kao okvir za tumačenje rasprava o stvarnosnoj poeziji početkom 2000-ih koje su također formulirane u formi opozicije (opreka stvarnosno – jezično/(post)modernističko). Te rasprave na koncu služe kao pozadina za razumijevanje poezije koja nastaje unazad 15-ak godina, a koja miješa elemente narativnog i metaforično-asocijativnog govora. U članku se pjesnička proizvodnja od 90-ih naovamo sagledava izvan uvriježenih desetljetnih (generacijsko-časopisnih) klasifikacijskih okvira, a teži se pristupu koji kombinira stilističko-formalne i kontekstualne uvide. Posebna je pozornost pritom posvećena pitanju afektivnoga registra različitih poetika na tragu književnoteorijskih studija Rite Felski koja ističe važnost pojmova poput prepoznavanja, očaranosti i sumnje.
