It highlights her understanding that feminism as such has an ethical basis. Her criticism of the degrading position of women which, according to her, has its origins in a family based on the male violence against women is also pointed out. The paper also points to Ksenija Atanasijević's understanding of the universal goals of feminism, goals that are not directed only at women. The author points out that despite the explicit distancing of Ksenija Atanasijević in relation to Marxism, especially the Marxist conception of class hatred, some of her positions are similar to the positions which Karl Marx presented criticizing Hegel. The author notes that at the time when she wrote her works, these views of Marx could not have been known to her. In conclusion, the author points out that for Ksenija Atanasijević the freedom of the individual forms the ethical basis of feminism.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75051573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nikolić, Maja Nikolić","doi":"10.5937/reci2215024n","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/reci2215024n","url":null,"abstract":"This paper deals with multiple hedges with non-factive verbs and phrases in political interviews in Serbian and English. Political interview, as a specific type of political discourse, is increasingly present in the media and is becoming the main form of communication between political actors and the public. This type of interview is both a source of information for the public and a means for conducting political campaigns. Since politicians are responsible to their voters for their every action and statement, they must choose carefully what to say and how to say it. One of the important characteristics of their discourse is the hedging of propositional content, because they sometimes cannot or do not want to give an explicit answer to delicate questions. In these cases, they use one or more hedges to make their statements acceptable to the public without compromising or committing themselves. Linguistic disciplines that deal with the analysis of all types of discourse, including political and media discourse, are pragmatics and critical discourse analysis, which represent the theoretical basis of this paper. Examining political interviews in English and Serbian, our goal has been to classify and describe multiple hedges used by politicians in conversations and determine their discursive functions, as well as to perform a contrastive analysis of the use of hedges in these two languages. The results have generally confirmed the initial hypotheses about the main functions of multiple hedges.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88486078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each unit within a language, starting from sounds, words, phrases, and sentences, has been changed and harmonized with norms, reforms, and modern linguistic theories. Linguistic theories, which have been adopted and proposed, are part of the framework of language science. As the science of language dates back to ancient times, different terms were used for the mentioned field. Today, the science that delves into the research, influence, and shaping of a language is linguistics. This research aims to display the part of linguistics that deals with the study of word formation and its processes. The paper is based on a theoretical and practical presentation of the basic morphological processes of the English language, derivation and inflection. Special attention is paid to conversion and back-formation. Furthermore, the paper sheds light on the role of the morphological notions of root, stem, and base. Not only does the paper examine the morphological notions, but it also compares and contrasts the above-stated processes within English and Serbian languages relying on contrastive analysis. The main goal is to establish the degree of equivalence of word-formation processes between the two languages. The obtained results indicate that certain morphological processes of the two languages posess direct equivalents, but some do not share complete or direct equivalence.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90944616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this science fiction story the author chronicles a slave society on a far-away planet in distant future. She describes the relationships between slaves and owners but also the position of women in such an unjust society in which female slaves are inferior to everyone, including male slaves. Since the aim of science fiction is to make us think about our present, the author draws parallels between this fictional slave society from the future and slavery on our planet from not so distant past. Le Guin deals with the ways one social class percieves the other and how their perceptions are similar to ours, as well as with the position of a woman in such a cruel society. The story ends with a union between two main characters, and the author concludes that the personal relationship between two people is at the core of change in the world around us. She teaches us that, in order to improve the society we live in, we should change the way we look at things, and the best way to achieve this is through learning, through education.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81250824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have also shown that almost every aspect of Gnostic philosophy is present in his fragments, interpreted and elaborated in its own unique way, including the idea of a Creator, an evil demiurge responsible for the creation of this world and the universe, the idea that matter itself is evil, implying that life itself, formed from this matter, is also evil. We have found, however, that of all material things, Cioran considered man to be the worst of all creations, who should no longer reproduce in order to put an end to the suffering known by the mere fact of existence. Cioran's anti-natalist thinking is certainly a product of his preoccupation with Gnosticism and the Romanian Gnostic traditions, especially the Bogumil and Cathar heritage. By dealing with Cioran's antinatalism, we have brought his own work and antinatalist thought to the Serbian academic world, where it was previously completely unknown. We have also managed to connect Cioran's thoughts with those of the French moralists, Buddhism, Marquis de Sade, Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"PP 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84606632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forster's heroine Caroline abbot in pursuit of freedom","authors":"Mirjana Stojov, Vesna Anđelić-Nikolendžić","doi":"10.5937/reci2215110s","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/reci2215110s","url":null,"abstract":"Gender issues have been a topic in written literature since ancient times. In the past, writers and philosophers questioned and often denigrated the role of women in society. Christianity brought to literature a model of two opposite women figures, a bad girl disrespected by respectable members of community, versus a good girl who represented all Christian virtues. In the Victorian and post Victorian era, women's emancipation became a major societal issue. In the early twentieth century, literature by and about women intensified. In the modern feminist era, particularly after women earned the right to vote and gained greater access to education and workplace, literature started concentrating on women's changing roles and continued obstacles to equality. As a writer who was extremely susceptible to the influence of time, E. M. Forster described his characters in close contact with their surroundings. He criticized the position and role of women in a Victorian middle class family. He depicted his heroines in constant struggle between their desires and suitable and appropriate behaviour expected by their family members and friends. The choice his female characters are faced with is whether they can bring themselves to break deep-rooted social conventions in order to attain personal happiness as free-thinking women or whether they should stick to the society's expectations. The paper concentrates on the main female protagonist of Foster's novel Where Angels Fear to Tread, analysing the transformation the character undergoes in her pursuit of personal freedom and fulfilment.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90242246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By including the famous Victorian poet Robert Browning in the plot of her short story \"The Death of Robert Browning,\" Urquhart highlights the postmodern tendency to express the basic human need to mythologize and perpetuate illusions about death. In a broader context, as an author from Canada, she emphasizes the difference between reality and fiction by revising historical facts through various textual interactions and revisions that help to construct an entirely new literary world freed from the psychological influence of British heritage in the context of Canadian culture. The story \"The Death of Robert Browning\" demonstrates a literary procedure in which a real person was placed at the center of the plot and his fictional life, which continued less than a hundred years after his death, served to allow readers to experience the real character of a historical figure in a special way. Thus, we get a completely new text in which all the sensibility and syncretism that the poet himself reflected are imprinted, but also a text in which the boundaries between values, rules, and prohibitions disappear and in which the mixture of reality and fiction gives way to the classical vision of the text.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81170845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arguments for the use of literature in foreign language teaching can be classified into five categories: Through the correct use of literary texts, students improve their language skills and competences (linguistic argument), while literary contents motivate the exchange of opinions and discussion, encouraging true communication (methodological argument). Literary texts also enable overcoming cultural barriers through familiarizing students with the culture of the language they learn (cultural argument), have an educational value in the broadest sense (personal development argument) and bring enjoyment (aesthetic argument). We have designed \"The Use of Literary Contents in English Language Teaching\" teacher training program at the Serbian Institute for the Improvement of Education on the basis of our methodological research and teaching experience. At the seminar, areas of language and ways in which literature can be incorporated in ELT are presented to primary and secondary school English language teachers, with special emphasis on practical examples, criteria for selecting texts, and accompanying activities. The activities we have designed show that it is not difficult to combine classic activities used in the communicative approach (e.g. role-play, interview, exchange of opinions, informal conversation, group work) with literary contents. At the end of the paper, we present the feedback from the participants of the seminar who have successfully incorporated our materials in their English classes, and point at the possible directions for the further development of this project.","PeriodicalId":33797,"journal":{"name":"Reci Beograd","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84594143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
