Deterritorializing Narrative Strategies of New Literatures in English: Andriana Ierodiaconou’s The Women’s Coffee Shop

Tijana Parezanović

https://ojs-gr.zrc-sazu.si/primerjalna_knjizevnost/article/view/9579

As one of the New Literatures in English, Cypriot Anglophone literature has only recently come to be the focus of literary researchers and scholars. This article deals with Andriana Ierodiaconou’s 2012 novel The Women’s Coffee Shop in the context of the New Literatures in English, starting from the theoretical and philosophical premises of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. While situating the novel within the framework of minor literatures and rhizomatic narratives, its main goal is to define and describe, through close reading, the narrative strategies that reflect and/or strengthen the deterritorializing effect as a key feature of a minor literature. To this effect, the article analyzes the figure of a deterritorialized narrator, characterization that oscillates between deterritorialization and reterritorialization, the narrative method of dreamwork and narrative modes that potentially create new territories, as well as the rhizomatic narrative gap and the open ending. To summarize, the narrative of the novel is exemplary of the position that Cypriot Anglophone literature occupies as one of the (minor) New Literatures in English.

Aspects of a Minor Literature in Katherine Mansfield’s New Zealand Stories

Tijana V. Parezanović, Maja M. Ćuk

https://anali.fil.bg.ac.rs/index.php/anali/en/article/view/analiff-2024-36-1-16

While Katherine Mansfield spent the most important years of her career – approximately the 1910s – at the centre of the flourishing modernist movement, she still produced several stories which are set in her native New Zealand. Observing Mansfield as an author who was at the time in many ways on the margins of English literature, this paper approaches her New Zealand stories from the theoretical framework offered by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of a ‘minor literature’. Our analysis of eleven short stories identifies those elements that arguably contribute to describing these New Zealand stories as a minor literature. The identified elements, which are illustrated with numerous examples, include onomatopoeic effects of the texts, narrative ruptures/gaps, the intrusion of dreamwork or oneiric states in the narrative discourse, the imagery and perspective of children and animals, and frequent use of (unattributed) free indirect discourse. The combination of these elements deterritorializes the language of Mansfield’s New Zealand stories and endows them with a political and collective value, as well as the revolutionary literary impulse, thus making them a proper example of a minor literature.

https://reci.rs/index.php/Reci/article/view/201

Oslanjajući se na komunikativni pristup, u ovom radu istražujemo vezu između književnosti i metodike nastave s ciljem da ukažemo na mogućnosti primene književnih sadržaja u nastavi stranih jezika. Posle razmatranja mesta književnosti u nastavi stranih jezika i osnovnih argumenata za i protiv njene upotrebe, usredsređujemo se na iskustva s programom stručnog usavršavanja "Upotreba književnih sadržaja u nastavi engleskog jezika" pri Zavodu za unapređivanje obrazovanja i vaspitanja Republike Srbije, koji je osmišljen na osnovu metodičkih istraživanja i nastavnog iskustva autorki. Na seminaru je nastavnicima engleskog jezika u osnovnim i srednjim školama kroz praktične primere predstavljeno u kojim se sve oblastima nastave jezika i na koji način može primeniti književnost, pri čemu je posebna pažnja posvećena kriterijumima za izbor tekstova i pratećim aktivnostima. Praksa je pokazala da nije teško spojiti klasične aktivnosti koje se koriste u komunikativnom pristupu s književnim predlošcima. Na kraju rada se osvrćemo na povratne informacije polaznika seminara i moguće pravce daljeg razvoja ovog projekta.

Otherness and Sharing: Space, Emotions, and Discourse in Elizabeth von Arnim's The Enchanted April

Tijana Parezanović, Melina Nikolić

https://belgrade-bells.fil.bg.ac.rs/index.php/belgrade-bells/article/view/328

This paper deals with Elizabeth von Arnim’s 1922 novel The Enchanted April as an example of modernist travel narrative. The novel focuses on four different women vacationing together in Italy for a month and the present analysis aims to address how these protagonists experience otherness – of the Italian place, their own emotions, and one another. To this effect, the analysis relies on the theoretical concept of heterotopia and descriptions of Christian love. Close reading of selected excerpts, which prominently feature free indirect discourse (as a signifier of otherness in the text), reveals that otherness can be overcome through sharing and love mediated through the specific (heterotopic) spatial setting, which bears the aspects of sacredness and the potential for transformation.

Milica Z. Živković, Tijana V. Parezanović, Artea D. Panajotović

https://reci.rs/index.php/Reci/article/view/225

Ovaj rad se bavi aspektima i mogućnostima praktične primene projektnih zadataka u okviru nastave jezika i književnosti. Cilj rada je predstavljanje projekta Naša Šekspirijada, koji je sproveden tokom aprila 2023. godine u Četrnaestoj beogradskoj gimnaziji, sa ciljem detaljne obrade drame Romeo i Julija Vilijama Šekspira, u okviru programa nastave srpskog jezika i književnosti u prvom razredu. Na osnovu teorijskih smernica za projektnu nastavu, Naša Šekspirijada je metodološki zasnovana na aktivnom učešću učenika u nastavi, kolaborativnom pristupu i zajedničkom radu na finalnom proizvodu koji proističe iz projekta. U radu su, shodno tome, opisani rezultati sprovedenog projekta, koji obuhvataju kreativne radove učenika (igre, kompozicije i sl.), istraživačke zadatke vezane za tumačenje drame, kreativne razgovore kroz različite medije i izvođenje novih umetničkih formi iz osnovne drame. Kroz opis i analizu navedenih uspešno postignutih rezultata, rad pruža mnoštvo primera aktivnosti koje se mogu primeniti u nastavi srpskog jezika i književnosti, ali i stranog jezika i srodnih predmeta, te se može zaključiti da projekat Naša Šekspirijada može poslužiti kao primer dobre prakse.

Media Production for Project-Based Learning in British Literary Modernism Course: A Collaborative Classroom

Tijana V. Parezanović

https://doi.ub.kg.ac.rs/doi/casopisi/10-46793-uzdanica21-2-233p/

This paper deals with the possibilities offered by project-based learning in an English literature classroom at university level in a non-English-speaking country. Describing a project carried out in Autumn 2019, whose final result was a students’ periodical, the paper aims to explore how the production of this type of media relates to the acquisition of literary, language, computer, and transferable skills. In achieving this aim, qualitative research was conducted during the semester in which the project was implemented, focusing on the observation of students’ independent research, their written production in English, and participation in team work, as well as on several group conversations and the answers provided by the students in a survey. The obtained results indicate that projects based on the production of media in a literature classroom can be beneficial to students’ literary skills and confidence in using English, while collaboration is emphasized as a major conclusion.

Will the Heart 'Go Last' in the Future? Alienating Spaces in Margaret Atwood's Dystopian Fiction

Maja Ćuk, Tijana V. Parezanović

https://godisnjak.ff.uns.ac.rs/index.php/gff/article/view/2526

The aim of this paper is to analyse how the disturbing social forces affect individuals in Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Heart Goes Last, by relying on Michel Foucault’s ideas on imprisonment and Erich Fromm’s views on disintegration of love and faith. The analysis shows how the Positron Project / Consilience becomes an alienating controlled space in which bodies are monitored and social relations commodified. The novel is interpreted as a cautionary tale about power relations, potential abuses, and the disintegration of real values in contemporary and near-future society.

Liminally Anglophone Wor(l)ds: M.G. Sanchez’s Gibraltarian Stories

Tijana Parezanović

https://belgrade-bells.fil.bg.ac.rs/index.php/belgrade-bells/article/view/bells-2024-16-19

This paper deals with the 2006 collection Rock Black: Ten Gibraltarian Stories by M.G. Sanchez. The stories are approached as an example of Deleuze and Guattari’s minor literature, with the premise that their imagery and style are rooted in the anthropological concept of liminality. The analysis shows that the characters inhabit a state of permanent liminality, contributing to elusive identities that resist alignment with fixed categories in the Anglophone literary sphere.

Translocality and the Foreigner’s Language in Alec S. Patrić’s Black Rock White City

Tijana Parezanović

https://doi.fil.bg.ac.rs/volume.php?pt=eb_ser&issue=srp_eng-2022-1&i=35

Referring to the literary work of Serbian migrants in Australia, and in particular to Alec S. Patrić’s 2015 novel Black Rock White City, this paper deals with language and space as two important aspects of the migrant experience. The novel is analysed through translocality and Julia Kristeva’s description of foreigners. Close reading suggests that lexical and grammatical choices reflect translocality (English sounding like Serbian and Serbian reading like English), while unspoken words in art also enact translocality. The paper positions language as an arena where translocality is effectively performed.

Rad razmatra empatiju kao značajan element prevodilačkog procesa, posebno u kontekstu književnog i pisanog prevođenja. Autorke daju teorijski pregled pristupa koji sadrže klicu shvatanja prevođenja kao „umetnosti empatije“, od Šlajermahera do Spivak, a zatim porede prevodilački proces sa psihoterapijskim procesom zasnovanim na empatiji. U praktičnom delu izdvajaju perspektivu korisnika/čitaoca ciljnog teksta kao važan faktor empatičnog pristupa prevođenju i otvaraju prostor za dalja empirijska i teorijska istraživanja.

Aspects of Literariness in New Media Writing

Tijana Parezanović, Milena Stojanović

https://belgrade-bells.fil.bg.ac.rs/index.php/belgrade-bells/article/view/415

Electronic literature has been established as a new, technologically enabled way of writing, through anthologies and awards such as the New Media Writing Prize. This paper analyses the four latest NMWP winners – Florence Walker’s I Dreamt of Something Lost, Everest Pipkin’s Anonymous Animal, Joannes Truyens’s Neurocracy, and Dan Hett’s c ya laterrrr – focusing on literary qualities. Defamiliarization, self-referentiality, and dialogism are observed as prominent aspects of literariness, and the analysis argues that literariness persists as a defining feature of electronically produced works.
