Black Humor on the Film Screen: From Folk to Popular Culture

2020, Issues in Ethnology and Anthropology

The paper is dealing with the complex phenomenon of black humor. Starting from different definitions about its origin, the author questions its folklore origin in Greek antiquity. Through the prism of the theories of Olga Freidneberg and Michael Bakhtin, parody and/or carneval appear as a worldview contrary and at the same time parallel to the serious, official, hierarchical order. Exactly this image of the world, and conceptualization of death on its grounds, lead in ancient Greece to the appearance of the theatre and comedy, that is regarded to be the predecessor of black film comedies. Pointing out the intertwinement of laughter and death, as well as the existence of black humor in the Greek antiquity, the author also deals with interesting connection between film black comedies and Serbian performative ritual games with motives of death and the dead. Such motives and the atmosphere that they provoke are easily recognized in the Serbian black comedies. As an example, i.e. a case ...

Prevođenje je oduvijek, a poglavito u 21. stoljeću, neophodan proces za ljudski rod. Ono omogućava povezivanje i razumijevanje različitih jezika kultura. Razvojem tehnologije, digitalnih vještina i filmske industrije, u posljednjih se nekoliko desetljeća posebice razvija tzv. audiovizualno prevođenje, u koje se ubraja prijevod filmova i serija te računalnih igara i karaoka. Unutar samog audiovizualnog prevođenja moguće je razlikovati nekoliko kategorija koje se prema načinu prevođenja i korištenim tehnikama međusobno razlikuju. Jedna od najzastupljenijih vrsta audiovizualnog prevođenja je podslovljavanje, odnosno titlovanje, čije su temeljne odrednice prostorno i vremensko ograničenje. Prevoditelj je kod podslovljavanja dužan poštovati ta ograničenja, inače bi moglo doći do nerazumijevanja određene scene. Uz to se kod podslovljavanja audiovizualni prevoditelj koristi čitavim nizom tehnika i metoda kako ne bi prekoračio broj znakova u zadanom vremenu, poput redukcije, izostavljanja, ...

Jestivi se filmovi i premazi sve više koriste u proizvodnji sireva zbog zahtjeva potrošača za prirodnim i ekološki prihvatljivim pakovinama. U radu je prikazano što su jestivi filmovi i prevlake, od kojih se materijala mogu proizvoditi i koje prednosti nude pri proizvodnji sira. Materijali koji pokazuju veliki potencijal za moguću komercijalnu proizvodnju u budućnosti su galaktomanani, kitozan, škrob, alginati i proteini sirutke. Jestivi filmovi i prevlake od navedenih materijala mogu produljiti rok trajanja sira te poboljšati kvalitetu sira, a pružaju i mogućnost ugradnje antimikrobnih sredstava koja djeluju kao dodatna zaštita protiv mikroorganizama uzročnika kvarenja sira.

This paper opens a new perspective of cooperation between linguists and a growing movie industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The authors have translated a Bosnian movie, I am from Krajina – the land of chestnut, an outline of turbulent Bosnian history in its very typical, western border-area, known as Krajina. The paper explores issues of translation of Bosnian culture into English, with an emphasis on translation problems and promotion of B&H culture in contemporary Bosnian movies.Throughtranslation analysis, the authors point at translation solutions based on the criterion of their source-language vs. target-language orientation.

U ovom prilogu naglasak je na definiranju stripa i na problematizaciji tema i žanrova u tom mediju na primjeru opusa Andrije Maurovića. Semiotički gledano, strip razvija drugačiji tip tekstualnosti od tradicionalnoga književnoga teksta jer u procesu formiranja značenja paralelno uključuje vizualnu i verbalnu sastavnicu svojega diskursa. Također, primjeri odabranih Maurovićevih naslova i njihov tematsko-žanrovski presjek implicitno vode u smjeru prihvaćenoga književnoteorijskoga zaključka o relacijskom karakteru pojma žanra i subverzivnom karakteru umjetnosti. S obzirom na složenu evoluciju stripske umjetnosti, u prilogu se okvirno raspravlja i o umjetničkim medijima i formama koje sa stripom imaju neke dodirne točke, kao što su književnost, dječja književnost, ilustrirane knjige, slikovnica, itd.

U radu se iscitavaju književni i paraknjiževni tekstovi o i za adolescenticu koji su bili dostupni do kraja 19. stoljeca, ponajprije hrvatskih autor/ic/a: Jagoda Truhelka, Marije Jambrisak, Jelice Belovic Bernadzikowske, Davorina Trstenjaka, Josipa Galla i dr. Tekstovi koji se obracaju adolescentici objavljuju se u adolescentskom casopisu Pobratim (1891.-1916.), ponajprije u obliku pripovijedaka u nastavcima, ali casopis objavljuje i krace prozne tekstove, crtice i publicisticke priloge iz kojih se jasno iscitava adolescentica kao primarni adresat. Uz prozu, koja je, osim u PObratimu, dostupna i u knjižnom obliku, adolescenticama su namijenjene i knjige obrazovnog sadržaja, kao i životopisi vrijednih i uglednih žena. U drugom se dijelu rada iscitava privatni adolescentski dnevnik Ivane Mažuranic, pisan u razdoblju od 1888. do 1891., a objavljen u redakturi Sanje Lovrencic 2010. U dnevniku se javni diskurz o i za adolescenticu omjerava o privatni, intimni adolescenticin iskaz, te se ...
