playwright becomes a character in his theatre, a biographical 'dispositif' (Foucault,
1971, 1975, 1977). We shall conclude with the differential autonomy (Hamon, 1972:
91) of Lagarce's dramatic character, his disappearance and devaluation (cf. Jouve,
1992), and his interference in the text, its creation.

The novel The Old House by Cécile Tormay explores the deep layers of
historical and social reality through the depiction of a family history. This paper
offers an interdisciplinary approach to analysing the work, combining elements of
literature, history, and social sciences to illuminate complex aspects of the period in
which the story unfolds. Through carefully crafted characters and plot twists, the
author immerses us in the atmosphere of early 20th-century European society,
particularly highlighting the dynamics and changes that shaped Budapest during that
time.
The study aims to shed light on various aspects of the assimilation of
Germans in Hungary and its complex consequences at individual and collective levels:
how these processes shaped their life paths and identities, and how the social,
political, and economic contexts of the time influenced the dynamics of relationships
between the German minority community and the majority Hungarian society.
Through the analysis of the novel The Old House, this paper provides insight
into the social, political, and cultural patterns of a turbulent period through the lens
of literature, offering a deeper understanding of how the past shapes the present.
The holy year was proclaimed by Pope Pius XI to be held in Hungary upon
the Regent couple’s visit to the Holy See in 1937. It coincided with the celebration of
Saint Stephen’s Memorial Year in 1938, marking the 900th anniversary of the death
of Hungary’s first Christian king. The Eucharistic Congress in Budapest, often dubbed
as ‘triumphant’ by contemporaries, was marked by a series of festivities and cultural
events that took place in the capital in conjunction with the ecclesiastical gathering.
The week-long cultural programme started on 24 May with various exhibitions,
concerts and theatre plays hosted at Budapest’s most distinguished establishments. It
was during this time that the newly refurbished Budapest Municipal Gallery was
opened to the public at the Károlyi Palace with the ‘International Caritas exhibition’.
This study is set to examine Hungary’s aspirations for legitimacy as a thousand-year

The results of the analysis show that the transferred meanings containing the concept
of DOG and PAS in most cases refer to people’s immoral and negative characteristics
and are typically the result of the metaphorical mappings.

The aim of this paper is to highlight the practical use of the most extensive
contemporary corpus of the Serbian language, CLASSLA-web.sr, which currently
contains 2,342,626,265 words from 5,256,087 documents, in word-formation
research. The paper will demonstrate how corpus linguistics and the use of this
specific corpus can provide greater and better contributions to research in the
fields of affixation, conversion, and compounding, in terms of form, content, and use
of affixes and derivatives, both in Serbian and in contact-contrastive research. This
contribution is significant primarily because such research is based on the actual
language use by contemporary speakers, rather than on the assumed form, content,
and use as was the case with earlier, pre-corpus research. The paper will present
specific solutions regarding the determination of the meaning of affixes, their
competitiveness, prefix-suffix derivatives, neologisms, productivity of specific
word-formation processes, and will also demonstrate the potential of using the
27

given corpus in future research, providing guidelines for the use of the NoSketch
Engine software within which the mentioned corpus is available.
The paper discusses the book "Reading of the soul" by Ranko Popović. The
book is first considered from the perspective of genre theory as a hybrid reading of
autobiographical memoiric provenance. In the second part of the paper, attention is
paid to the analysis of the author's observations about the purpose and meaning of
reading.
Key words: Ranko Popović, "Reading the soul", autobiographical discourse, reading.
The old adage suggests that philosophical questions are posed not only by
philosophers but also by children and individuals struggling with mental health.
Just as there are tendencies to use philosophy as a means to strengthen mental
health, if not necessarily to cure it, there is also the idea that philosophy can be
applied in the upbringing and education of children. At first glance, this idea may
seem inappropriate to philosophy itself - since ancient times, it has been assumed
that engaging in philosophy requires spiritual maturity, which necessitates a
certain level of maturity expressed through age. Hence, the idea of "philosophy for
children" might appear, at the very least, contradictory. However, pedagogical
reflections throughout the 20th century have shown multiple benefits of
introducing philosophical thinking at earlier stages of the educational process.
Certainly, familiarity with the philosophical way of thinking is not entirely the same
as familiarity with philosophy, but it is perhaps closest to the true experience of
philosophizing and an excellent introduction to the study of philosophy itself. This
work focuses on two essential questions regarding philosophy for children: first,
what are the benefits of philosophy for children for the educational process and
society in general, and second, what benefits does philosophy for children have for
philosophy itself?

The novel „La sans pareilleˮ by Milisav Savić, originally published in 2015,
has had several editions in Serbian and foreign languages, it has been awarded
multiple times and was consistently positively evaluated by critics. Although it was
the topic of many reviews and a few papers (that took into consideration its narration
and style in the first place), the subject matter of this work hasn’t been thoroughly
analyzed. This paper deals with the question of identity, which is included in the
novel through its different types (personal, national, religious, sexual, gender), as well
as with the possibilities of its change, considering internal and external factors that
define selfhood. The research has a goal to enlighten the author᾽s ways of playing
with the concept of identity, as he pushes it to the limits of its ambiguity.
The demand for languages in the job market for translators and interpreters
is neither static nor stable, as it depends on broader economic and cultural changes in
society. This presentation will provide insight into which languages are present in the
translation and interpreting job market in the Serbian economy and how this demand
has been changing, based on a systematic tracking of job advertisements from 2009
to the present. The results are based on a corpus of 1,643 advertisements by 804
employers published on the employment platform poslovinfostud.com, the only
employment platform in Serbia that regularly publishes advertisements for
translators and interpreters, allowing for systematic analysis. The presentation will
also focus on the representation of culture in these advertisements. Since translation
is inherently intercultural communication, cultural knowledge is usually not explicitly
stated, because it is presumed. Therefore, it is important to examine the manner in
which this requirement is articulated, the languages specified, and the types of jobs
associated with it. Such data may be considered indicators of areas where cultural
competence is more challenging to achieve and necessitates greater emphasis in the
curricula for translator and interpreter training.
Key words: translation and interpreting, job ads, languages, cultural competence.

Vuk Karadžić recorded more than twenty songs from Tešan Podrugović,
whose heroes are among the most honored characters in our folk epic. A special place
belongs to the character of Marko Kraljević, who got his full epic expression precisely
through the songs of this singer. In our work, we classify Podrugović's heroes

solutions and possibilities of determination and classification, thereby supplementing
this well-known typology.
The crucial moment for establishing the idea of philosophy for children, or
philosophy with children, lies in Lipman’s concept of the “community of philosophical
inquiry.” As an educational and pedagogical model, it is based on the idea of radical
equality among all participants. This equality primarily manifests as equal
epistemological authority between the teacher and the learner. However, even though
this model primarily serves an educational function, the idea of such a community reflects
a projection of the corresponding social reality and desirable political principles that the
educational system should support and nurture. Therefore, the community of
32
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad
2 December 2024
philosophical inquiry should be both a genuine place of learning and exploration and a
projection of a society characterized by radical equality as a desirable social reality. In this
work, we explore the relationship between these two levels of meaning regarding the
principle of equality that underpins the concept of the “community of philosophical
inquiry,” connecting Lipman’s idea and its implicit political framework with Rancière’s
and Freire’s understanding of the broader educational political context.
Judita Šalgo (1941-1996) was one of the most significant Serbian, Hungarian,
Vojvodinian, and Yugoslav avant-garde writers. Her confessional poetry is
characterized by a hybridization of forms and the influence of visual, conceptual, and
performance art. Many of her poetic works - poems, fragments, projects, cycles,
micro-essays, and short stories - focus on descriptions of the body and bodily
processes, as well as various pathological states: illness, anxiety, and unrest.
This paper examines the interpretation of body and corporeality in the
collections 67 Minutes Aloud (1980) and Life on the Table (1986). The research will
offer a pathographic and intersectional reading of Judita Šalgo's poetry, followed by
an overview of her encyclopedic treatment of various elements of corporality and an
interpretation of the relationship between the author's formal experiments and the
theme of the body and the corporeal.

Marsha Norman’s play ‘night, Mother (1981) addresses, among other things,
destructive aspects of the American Dream myth in American art media and popular
culture. In order to call into question the sustainability of the unnegotiable social
equality as well as the unnegotiable pursuit of material wealth inherent in the
American Dream myth, the utopianism of which was indicated by its very creator
James Truslow Adams, Marsha Norman depicts the broken-down nucleus family
structure by using different modes of minus-positions as the manifestations of the
failed American Dream.
By applying Marina Katnić-Bakaršić’s theory on the stylistics of drama
discourse to Norman’s play ‘night, Mother, this paper aims to explore stylistic
strategies used to create various aspects of the failed American Dream as well as the
possible impact of their textual meaning on the depiction of the problems arising
from the individual-society-culture interrelationship.
Key words: Marsha Norman, ‘night, Mother, the American Dream, stylistics, culture.

period, the Department of Romance Studies, the Ibero-American Center and the
Department of Italian and Ibero-American Studies organized seven face-to-face and
two online meetings with Spanish-American writers, and the Faculty of Philosophy
organized a literary evening by Mario Vargas Ljosa at the Serbian National Theatre, in
cooperation with Laguna publishing house and ProseFest. Guillermo Orsi was a guest
of FFUNS thanks to the Embassy of Argentina; Samantha Schweblin, Luisa Valenzuela
and Santiago Roncagliolo visited our higher education institution as guests of
ProseFest; Guillermo Martinez gave the lecture "Borges and Mathematics" through
the Embassy of Argentina, and the Ibero-American Center FFUNS organized online
meetings with five Argentine writers, as part of the "Susana Tenon" project with the
University of Tres de Febrero i.e. during the corona pandemic virus. Through audio-
recordings, videos and translation notes, we will research the topics of their lectures
and discussions, the interest of students and the public, and the outcome of these
literary-academic events. The result of our research will show the importance of such
extracurricular activities for students of the FFUNS, but also for the visiting writers.

The focus of the paper is on the question of how to encourage the gifted in an
inclusive framework, which is the basic determination of our educational system?
More specifically, is inclusion an optimal framework for the learning and
development of the gifted, how does it fit with the measures of the education of the
gifted, and how are the support measures implemented within the heterogeneous
group of the gifted? Not disputing the advantages of an inclusive approach, but
recognizing the fact that it often does not give satisfactory results in practice, it is
recommended to improve inclusive practice as the primary mode of education for the
gifted, while fostering special programs and institutions as additional support for the
development of giftedness. It is concluded that the measures of gifted education have
enough variants to be adapted to the inclusive framework, and that the principle of
inclusion is flexible enough to include all measures of gifted education. In this sense,
the importance of differentiation and individualization as mechanisms of gifted
education in the regular school context, which enable different students to be worked
with differently, is highlighted.
Under the effects of the migration crisis, ongoing international war conflicts
and political and economic instability, we are witnessing a regurgitation of the cult of
homeland and the myth of nation in the public discourses of modern-day Italy. In
addition to being the result of essentially demagogic rhetoric, the current exaltation
of the nation is the indicator of a widespread state of mind of the large portion of the
population, which represents something new in a country which has not shown any
propensity for the themes of patriotism and national unity. The premise of this paper
is that the national rhetoric in today's Italy does not have deep roots in or depend on
the firm convictions of those who adopt it, but stems from the ambiguity and

weakness of the concept of Italianness. This issue poses a question that is not easy to

The presentation will present the Women's Movement 2020 project, which
was implemented at the Institute of Literature and Art within the department
specialized in the study of periodicals. The project was launched on the occasion of
the anniversary: one hundred years of the founding and publishing of the first issue of
the Women's Movement magazine (1920–1938). It is the first Yugoslav feminist
magazine, as well as the longest-running interwar feminist periodical. The project
involved several stages: 1) preparation of the journal bibliography; 2) digitalization
of the journal corpus; 3) the organization of an international scientific meeting
dedicated to this journal; 4) publication of collection of papers from the meeting; 5)
creation of a website dedicated to the magazine and the project
(www.zenskipokret.org). The relationship between periodical studies and digital
humanities will be considered in the example of this project, and the presentation will
also show the challenges and advantages of connection between digital space and
analog materials.

foreign language at levels A1 to B1, the didactic potential of images is explored for
fostering intercultural awareness and visual literacy among students. The results
indicate that iconic elements serve not only as aids in the process of learning the
vocabulary but also as a means to enhance intercultural competence. Interpreting
iconic elements is considered an essential need of today's visual generation.
Pedagogical implications include offering strategies for working with visual materials
in foreign language instruction, facilitating the acquisition of content related to the
target language culture, thus systematically contributing to the development of
students' visual literacy and deeper understanding of global cultures.
This paper deals with the various forms of non-verbal euphemisms and
taboos in German and Serbian. The aim is to list all occurrence variants in both
languages, then to classify and analyze them, and finally, by using the contrastive
method, to compare them. The results show that we prefer to react to non-verbal
taboos with non-verbal euphemisms, such as a certain facial expression, a special
posture and gesture, as well as behaviors, such as silence. The interlingual
comparison suggests that there are many similarities between German and Serbian
due to the same or similar cognitive cultural models. The results are intended to help
improve intercultural understanding, since the ability to know and recognize verbal
and non-verbal euphemisms and taboos is an important prerequisite for successful
intercultural communication.

This paper deals with taste names incorporated in plant names in Hungarian
and Serbian. Plant names make a very heterogeneous group of names, regardless of
the language we talk about. The aim of the paper is to discover the way how the two
considered languages construct the names of plants, in what proportion these names
contain taste names and which tastes are preferred among them. Naturally, in this

phase we are going to use contrastive methods. The corpus of research is being
gathered from various dictionaries and websites in both languages. Then the
collected material will be analyzed. Besides contrastive methods, lexical,
morphological, and syntactic analyses will also be applied. Hypothesis: the sweet
taste incorporated in plant names will be found in the highest proportion in both
languages; the second most frequent taste will be bitter; other taste names should be
comparatively rare.
Key words: names of tastes, names of plants, Hungarian language, Serbian language.
This paper explores the mutual influence of green urbanism and cultural
dynamics, focusing on the potential for encouraging the development of green cities
in developing countries by creating new culture within the local communities. Green
urbanism emphasizes sustainable city planning practices, including energy efficiency,
renewable resources, and integration of green areas. The success of such initiatives
often depends on cultural acceptance and local engagement. The challenge lies in
harmonizing green urbanism with existing cultural norms and values in developing
countries, where traditional practices and fast urbanization coexist. This study
examines cities that have successfully applied the principles of green urbanism by
encouraging the culture of sustainability from within. By analyzing cultural barriers
and factors that facilitate the development of green cities, we provide insight into
how cultural dynamics can be used to support sustainable urban transformation. The
research shows that creating a new culture of sustainability within communities is
crucial for the long-term success of green urbanism in developing countries.
Strategies such as inclusive urban planning, culturally sensitive policies, and local
environmental movements are essential for nurturing this culture. We claim that a
synergistic approach combining green urbanism with cultural innovation has
significant potential for the sustainable development of cities in developing countries.

The author problematizes the issue of political interaction within the existing
neoliberal order, examining the concepts of neoliberalism, hyper-individualism and
neoconservativism (as the foundation of neoliberal ideology), and identity politics (as
specific manifestation of neoliberalism in politics). The presentation particularly
analyzes the concept of individualism, namely the transformation of this concept into
hyper-individualism under the influence of neoliberal theory and practice. Neoliberal
capitalism promotes the figure of the entrepreneur - an independent contractor -
reducing all human relations to market relations. The author also explores the
seemingly opposing poles of identity politics, examining their origins, characteristics,
meaning, and role within the neoliberal consensus. Although different identity
politics may have antagonistic relations, they do not fundamentally challenge the
existing socio-economic order because issues related to the relationship between
labor and capital and economic exploitation remain beyond their scope.

political situation in his country, he began writing in French, which led to a change in
his way of thinking. Upon moving to Paris, Emil Cioran became apolitical but also
despondent. There, he learned the French language, in which he would write all his
most important works. This paper examines Cioran's understanding of human
existence and the "trouble of being born" through several works translated from
French into Serbian: "A Short History of Decay," "The Trouble with Being Born," "The
New Gods," "The Fall into Time," and "Tears and Saints." His reflections on the nature
of human suffering, meaninglessness, and decadence prompt deeper contemplation
of life and the world around us. Although his philosophy is imbued with pessimism,
central themes include alienation, absurdity, boredom, futility, decay, the tyranny of
history, the vulgarity of change, consciousness as agony, and reason as disease. The
aim of this paper is to present Cioran's nihilistic views on existence and his
reflections on themes such as the inevitability of death, internal suicide, distrust, and
repulsion towards life, which stem from his vision of reality and a tragic sense, in his
works translated from French into Serbian.
Key words: mil Cioran, existence, death, time, pessimism, translated works.
The year 2024 marks the jubilee of radio in Serbia. It's been 100 years since
the first radio signal, or radio station, was launched in this region. Today in our
country there are about 300 radio programs of the public media service, commercial
stations and civil sector media. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of
the survival of radio in the media system of Serbia. The paper will also discuss the
transformation of certain contents and formats that are broadcast on radio waves, as
well as the innovations and services brought about by the digitization process in the
radio industry.

Translation has always had a pivotal role in navigating and reconciling the
differences between two languages and two cultures, with the objective of reaching
diverse audiences worldwide. The aim of this paper is to explore translation solutions
used in translating culture-specific items in the genre of marketing texts. The so
called culture-specific items (CSI) represent quite a challenge for both translation
theory and practise for several reasons. In the first place, given the broad and elusive
definitions of culture, it is not easy to determine the scope of the domains related to
culture, and hence, to categorize culture-specific items that need to be dealt with in
practice. This qualitative analysis is corpus based and it includes the translation of a
travel brochure 52 Weekends in Serbia, published by the National Tourist
Organization and aimed at promoting the tourist potential of Serbia. In the paper we
will try to explore some specific translation techniques applied in the translation and
identify the criteria the translators used while determining culture-specific items.
The results of the study will give a better insight into the role of the translator in the
whole process and the ways culture-specific-items are translated.

The author aims to clarify the fundamental points of the relation between
aesthetics and politics reflected through the concept of engaged art. In addition to
the thematization of several relevant authors who dealt with the concept of engaged
art, such as Sartre and Rancier, the relation between politics and art through eras
predating the modern concept of engagement is also examined. From ancient
conceptions to contemporary thematizations of the relation between political content
and artistic form, it will be shown that the practice of engaged art existed long before
the term was established, as well as that authors in the ancient era already gained
important insights into the dimensions and possibilities that art offers. Plato's harsh
attitude towards art that is not under political control will be able to be placed in
dialogue with Rancière's idea of the emancipated viewer, despite the historical,
terminological and cultural distance between these two conceptions. Finally, the

significance and possibility of the artistic form for political content in the

The paper analyzes German, Serbian and Hungarian idioms of biblical origin
from the aspect of cognitive and contrastive linguistics. Although biblical idioms
serve as carriers of cultural heritage, they can be found not only in literature, but also
in everyday communication. The corpus will be excerpted from appropriate
monolingual and bilingual dictionaries of the mentioned languages. The researched
material will be subjected to conceptual and then contrastive analysis, with the aim of
determining the most numerous concepts, their structure and cognitive mechanisms

responsible for their creation. In other words, conceptual metaphor and metonymy
will be postulated in the excerpted idioms, i.e. the semantic transposition will be
shown within the concepts. In addition, the aim of the paper is to determine and
describe contrastive similarities and differences, and then to try to establish whether
the differences are culturally determined, where the source language is German and
the target languages are Serbian and Hungarian.

the liminal space between the two symbolic shores, thereby confirming herself as a

In his second mimiamb, the Hellenistic poet Herodas depicts a pimp named
Battaros accusing a man named Thales of abducting and violating one of his girls
without paying. He also accuses Thales of destroying the property that Battaros was
leasing for use as a brothel. Both men, the plaintiff and the accused, are strangers in
Kos (where the action is located), which according to Battaros is an additional reason
why they should obey the laws of the country. The structure of this mock trial is
obviously a parody of the forensic speeches of the classical period. The details evoke
an Athenian trial from the 4th century; however, the theme of “abduction” is very
similar to several situations in Menander’s comedies. Additionally, the character of
the pimp, revealed only by his monologue, continues the comic tradition, with sui
generis features. The difference between Herodas and Menander regarding the theme
of abduction is that while in Menander’s comedies these actions are planned or
mentioned as a possibility, they are never executed as in Herodas’ mimiamb. In this
paper I aim to trace the literary theme of abduction in the comic genres that precede
Herodas, in order to analyze the attitudes toward these women that are concerned
with the abduction, but from a different point of view.
Generation Z, born between 1998 and 2012, has unique traits that set them
apart from previous generations which affects their learning and engagement,
prompting a reevaluation of educational approaches. This study aims to identify
motivational factors by examining intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of academic
motivation among Generation Z using the Academic Motivation Scale – College
version (Vallerand et al., 1992). An online survey of 205 University of Novi Sad
students revealed a predominance of extrinsic motivation. Enhanced job market
competitiveness, career preparation, and competence development for future
professions were cited as primary reasons for pursuing studies. In addition to

extrinsic motivation, high scores were noted on the intrinsic motivation subscale,
with students expressing satisfaction in gaining new knowledge as a key reason for
studying. Descriptive statistics indicated significant motivational differences based on
sociodemographic factors. Students in social-humanistic fields were more motivated
than those in technical fields. Additionally, paternal education level showed to be
significant for students’ academic motivation. These findings suggest that educational
institutions should adapt to meet Generation Z’s specific needs, contributing to
improved educational policies and practices.

The collection known today as the Palatics Codex was discovered in 1832 by
the orientalist Antal Gévay of the Vienna court library. In addition to Turkish, Persian
and Arabic material, Hungarian, German, Croatian and Latin texts were recorded in
the codex of mixed content in Arabic letters: among them the song Madzsari türki
with the incipit “Fekete szemő, fekete szemődökű...” the speaker of which somewhat
awkwardly tries courting a Hungarian woman with metaphors from Turkish poetry.
There was a long-standing assumption in the literature that the song was composed
by Turkish-turned-Hungarian poet: Mehmed Divinyi. Gyula Németh, the famous
Turkologist, denied the existence of Mehmed Divinyi in 1948, and identified the poem
as a piece of aşik poetry – which was originally composed by the ceremonial
musicians of the Bektashi Order of dervishes – in Hungarian. The author of this thesis
compares the song with Stijepo Đurđević's comic poem Derviš, and formulates the
hypothesis that similarly to the poem from Dubrovnik, the Madzsari türki is a parody
as well.
Key words: Madzsari türki, aşik poetry, Stijepo Đurđević, Derviš, parody.

The Soviet Red Army reached the so-called Baja Triangle (Bajski trokut) in
October 1944. Yugoslav troops also entered the villages, and the local South Slavs
established national liberation committees and formed armed militias. Tensions
remained between ethnic Hungarians and South Slavs as the South Slavs became
over-represented in the local branches of the Hungarian Communist Party, actively
interfered in the administration and benefited from land distribution. Following the
Soviet-Yugoslav conflict, however, their exposure became a handicap, and reprisals
were taken against them. In my paper, I will analyse these eventful years of this
special multiethnic border region, using archival sources from Budapest and
Belgrade, with emphasis on the conflictual coexistence between the local South Slavic
minority and the Hungarians, the impact the Hungarian-Yugoslav relations had on
these processes and how these local events influenced the party and state relations
between the two countries.

all this in mind, this paper will focus on those elements of the novel that could have
been sources of difficulty during translation, the solutions chosen by the translator,
and their commentary.
