Vabimo vas na nastopno predavanje, ki ga bo imela kandidatka za izvolitev v naziv docentke za predmetno področje antropologije, dr. Martina Bofulin:

Strauss ob reki Ou: izseljevanje in lokalni razvoj na vzhodu Kitajske.

Nastopno predavanje bo v sredo, 18. maja 2022, ob 11. uri, v Mali dvorani ZRC SAZU, Novi trg 4, 2. nadstropje, Ljubljana.

Okraj Qingtian v vzhodni provinci Zhejiang na Kitajskem se zaradi močnega izseljevanja pred in med obema svetovnima vojnama, še posebej pa v zadnjih štiridesetih letih, ponaša z nazivom »okraj izseljencev«. Območje označujejo vseprisotni sklici na izseljevanje, temu pa so se prilagodili tudi številni drugi lokalni družbeni procesi, ki kljub upadanju števila izseljenih vse bolj gradijo na posebni dediščini kraja, na mnoge načine povezanega z Evropo. Predavanje o transnacionalnih migracijah med Kitajsko in Evropo skozi vidik kitajskega izseljenstva bo izpostavilo nekatere ključne koncepte migracijskih študij kot se izrisujejo skozi longitudinalno etnografsko raziskavo. Poseben poudarek bo na spremembah okraja v zadnjem desetletju, kjer si lokalna oblast prizadeva na novo zamisliti območje kot inovativno zmes zamišljenih evropskih in lokalnih elementov.

Dr. Martina Bofulin je sodelavka na Inštitutu za izseljenstvo in migracije, kjer se ukvarja z različnimi vidiki mobilnosti in migracij med Ljudsko republiko Kitajsko in Evropo, vprašanji priseljevanja in integracije v Sloveniji ter povezavami med migracijami in dediščinjenjem. Aktivna je tudi na področju uvajanja medkulturne mediacije na področju zdravstva. Je urednica glasila Heriskop in članica združenja SIEF, IUAES, Japonskega združenja za preučevanje kitajskih migracij (JSSCO) in Kitajsko-evropske zveze za preučevanje kitajskih migracij (CERPE).

Postgraduate School ZRC SAZU invites you to a public lecture by dr. Sanja Šubarić:

Word meaning and the meaning content of the collective names of the type Montenegrin.

The lecture in English language will be on Tuesday, 24th of May 2022, at 11. A.M. at Mala Dvorana ZRC SAZU, Novi trg 4, 2nd floor, Ljubljana.

In this presentation we will first explain the notion of meaning, and then draw attention to the importance of reflecting on the lexicographic model for defining the meaning of lexemes representing signifiers of ethnic and civic identity.

With a concrete example, here we want to emphasize the fact that in the case of certain lexemes it is not easy to determine their semantic content. That is the case with ethnonyms and demonyms, that is, lexemes naming a given ethnic group (a group of people)/residents of a particular place or country. It is certain that the terms ethnonym and denonym do not have equal status in onomastic and derivational systems, and that is also the case with lexicographic theories within different languages. Their uneven treatment has been confirmed in the available dictionaries of English, Russian and French, but also in the dictionaries of Serbo-Croatian, namely Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian. Keeping in mind terminological specificities of internationalisms demonym and ethnonym, insufficiently elaborated in the linguistic literature, we will also focus on the semantic content of the concepts narod and stanovnik (people and resident).

A semantic examination of the lexemes narod (people) and stanovnik (resident) also leads to the question – how to distinguish the name of people from the name of residents of the country since the members of people who have their country are mostly its residents, too?

The claim that a member of an ethnic group / group of people is the same as “a resident of the land (state)” is not realistic from the perspective of the demographic reality of multi-ethnic countries. In fact, the claim is denied by the fact that there are usually members of different ethnic groups / groups of people in one country, and also by the fact that certain ethnic groups / groups of people do not possess their own state.

Lexicographic review has shown that there is not the established model for defining concrete names, which would be a reflection of what is recognized as the ideal type of identity in the sociological literature – as an identity that includes ethnic-cultural and territorial-political/civic elements? Certainly, the model for defining these names cannot be solely a linguist’s task – a good solution requires an interdisciplinary approach. In relation to that, we will emphasize the following: it is necessary that the sociological discernment of the concept of identity has its application in lexicography, which means that the collective names as Montenegrin, Albanian, Croate, Slovene…, have to be treated as ethnonyms and as demonyms in lexicography, that is, as categories that represent the ethnic identity of the referent, but also as categories that represent a civic, that is, territorial identity of the referent.

Postgraduate School ZRC SAZU invites you to a public lecture by prof. Ljiljana Pajović Dujović:

Social and cultural context of Montenegrin society through the prism of the traditional wedding practice.

The lecture in English language will be on Wednesday, 25th of May 2022, at 11. A.M. at Mala Dvorana ZRC SAZU, Novi trg 4, 2nd floor, Ljubljana.

The paper aims at emphasizing the importance of customs as one of significant elements of cultural identity. Due to a wide range of customs inherent in Montenegrin society and culture, we here focus on the customs relating to the organization of the nuptials ceremony, including all stages and rituals which follow. In order to comprehensively approach the analysis of wedding customs and grasp their importance, we have taken into consideration the comparison between traditional (patriarchal) and modern wedding practices, as well as the analysis of the orientation of values which pervade traditional practices at different levels of social and cultural development.

Keywords: traditional wedding practices, patriarchal culture, collectivist and individualist orientation of values, socialization, dowry, internalization of social reality.

Ljiljana Pajović Dujović, PH.D. is full professor of South Slavic Literature at the Faculty of Philology – Nikšić, University of Montenegro. Her interests are the study of the relationship between folk traditions and narrative prose, the problem of intertextuality of the oral and the written, comparative literature and imagology. She has published a number of scientific papers in the field of cultural studies, literary history, literary theory and criticism.

Vabimo vas na gostujoče predavanje, ki ga bo na modulu Literatura v kontekstu imela Aina Vidal-Pérez:

Globalno Sredozemlje: reprezentacije obale v krizi v sodobnem romanu (1990–2020).

Predavanje v angleškem jeziku bo v četrtek, 26. maja 2022, ob 14.30. uri v Mali dvorani ZRC SAZU, Novi trg 4, 2. nadstropje, Ljubljana.

Kljub razmeroma marginalnemu položaju med raziskovalci je Sredozemsko morje kot globaliziran in kot tak okoljsko ranljiv prostor pritegnil pozornost romaneskne produkcije zadnjih treh desetletij. V predavanju bo roman obravnavan kot kritični okvir, reprezentacije Sredozemskega morja pa kot prostor, ki ga zaznamujejo medsebojno prepletene in pospeševane krize. Morje se bo izkazalo za kompleksno pripovedno okolje, v katerem vznikajo večravninski problemi, kot so ekstraktivizem, deteritorializacija, neokolonializem, kozmopolitizem, migracije, množični turizem, državno in globalno nasilje ter predvsem okoljska kriza in antropocen. Ob romanih Donne Leon, Rafaela Chirbesa, Zene el Khalil, Ahmeda Kaleda Tavfika in drugih bodo na eni strani upoštevane pripovedne strategije, ki izhajajo iz omenjenih problemov, na drugi strani pa obtok teh pripovedi, pri čemer bosta tako Sredozemlje kakor romaneskni žanr obravnavana kot predmeta in obenem dejavnika globalizacije.

Aina Vidal-Pérez je doktorska študentka programa humanističnih in komunikacijskih ved na Odprti univerzi Katalonije. S pomočjo štipendije Vlade Katalonije (FI 2019), ki jo sofinancira Evropski socialni sklad, sodeluje v laboratoriju Global Literary Studies (GlobaLS-UOC) in pri projektu »Roman kot globalna forma: literarni izzivi in čezmejni literarni obtok«, ki ga financira špansko ministrstvo za znanost in inovacije. V disertaciji se posveča pripovednim reprezentacijam sredozemske obale z globalne perspektive. V povezavi s to temo bo leta 2023 izšel njen prispevek k zborniku The Routledge Companion to Crime Fiction and Ecology.

Predavanje je namenjeno širši zainteresirani javnosti. Vabljeni!

Postgraduate School ZRC SAZU invites you to a public lecture at the Literature in context doctoral module by Aina Vidal-Pérez:

Global Mediterranean: Representations of the Coast in Crisis in the Contemporary Novel (1990–2020).

The lecture in English language will be on Thursday, 26th of May 2022, at 2.30 P.M. at Mala Dvorana ZRC SAZU, Novi trg 4, 2nd floor, Ljubljana.

Despite the scarcity of critical studies on the matter, the Mediterranean Sea as a globalized and as such environmentally vulnerable space has gained significant attention in the field of the novel over the last three decades. Starting from a conception of the global novel as a critical framework, the talk will approach representations of the Mediterranean Sea as a space traversed by accelerated and overlapped crises. The sea will be addressed as a complex narrative environment concerned with multi-scale issues such as extractivism, deterritorialization, neocolonialism, cosmopolitanism, migration, mass tourism, state and global violence, and, in particular, the environmental crisis and the Anthropocene. Focusing on novels by Donna Leon, Rafael Chirbes, Zena el Khalil, and Ahmed Khaled Tawfik among others, the talk will carry out an analysis that considers, on the one hand, the narrative strategies arising from such tensions, and, on the other, the circulation of these narratives at different scales by considering both the Mediterranean and the novel as objects as well as agents of globalization.

Aina Vidal-Pérez is a PhD Candidate in the Humanities and Communication Doctoral Programme at the Open University of Catalunya. She holds a PhD Fellowship (FI 2019) of the Government of Catalonia, co-funded by the European Social Fund, and is a member of the Global Literary Studies Research Lab (GlobaLS-UOC); she is also on the team of the research project “The Novel as Global Form. Poetic Challenges and Cross-border Literary Circulation,” funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. Her PhD project is dedicated to narrative representations of the Mediterranean shore from a global perspective. In relation to this topic, her contribution to The Routledge Companion to Crime Fiction and Ecology is forthcoming in 2023.
