{"title":"The poetry of Atgimimas. Who Called the Nation and Who Led it?","authors":"Akvilė Rėklaitytė","doi":"10.51554/coll.21.47.06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51554/coll.21.47.06","url":null,"abstract":"The author of the article focuses on the time of the Reform Movement of Lithuania, Sąjūdis, when around 1987-1990 the Soviet Union began to fall apart and Lithuania was granted an opportune moment to seek political independence. In Lithuania, the Soviet ruling elite tried to exclude dissidents, who were more active in politics; therefore intellectuals, writers, and artists formed the vanguard of the movement for freedom. A review of documentary material from the time has revealed the important role of poetry. The article explores the poetic discourse of the years of Atgimimas, i.e. poems published in official and illegal publications, and analyses their poetics (themes, stylistics, and imagery). It aims to verify whether poetry was the “leader” of the Sąjūdis discourse, as many people who remember the movement testify. The research shows that during the political liberation of the state, poetry as an independent field of art had been in crisis. Instead of creating a distinctive aesthetic world and language, it illustrated the changes taking place in society, trying to keep up with historical events. Memoirs and journalism, which satisfied the public’s need for the direct talk about the realities, became the real leader of the discourse.","PeriodicalId":37193,"journal":{"name":"Colloquia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91230668","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}

{"title":"History in the Scope of a Female Aristocrat: Historical Novels by Sophie de Tisenhaus de Choiseul-Gouffier","authors":"Brigita Speičytė","doi":"10.51554/col.2020.28590","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51554/col.2020.28590","url":null,"abstract":"The article discusses the works of Sophie de Tisenhaus de Choiseul-Gouffier (1790–1878), a writer from historical Lithuania, which mostly consist of the historical novels. The novels, written in French and published in Paris, are based on the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.The article analyzes the specifics of the historic genre: individual motives for choosing it, communication strategy, specifics of history representation, and reflection on gender, social and national identity. The author’s memoirs are useful for the genesis of historical writing in the aristocratic environment of dilettante arts, influenced by the 19th-century mass experience of history and the tendency to project it into a historical narrative. The author of the article concludes that the strategy of cultural diplomacy characteristic of Sophie de Tisenhaus de Choiseul-Gouffier’s novels—the goal of popularizing Polish and Lithuanian history in the international arena in order to anchor the historical and cultural memory of a country deleted from the European map—is not the only one defining her historical fiction. In terms of identity reflection, her novels, which first of all stand out for their feminine perspective, reveal a “fundamental conflict” of aristocracy in the modern era, discussed by Norbert Elias, i.e. an ambivalent reconstruction and critique of the aristocratic ethos. From an aesthetic point of view, primarily because of the nature of historical knowledge, Sophie de Tisenhaus de Choiseul-Gouffier’s novels come forth as an alternative to the genre model of Walter Scott’s historical novel, which was popular in Europe at the time. Such an understanding of history allows the author to convey a distance based on values in relation to inherited and new forms of life emerging in modernity.","PeriodicalId":37193,"journal":{"name":"Colloquia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85410467","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}

{"title":"On Henrikas Nagys’ Niveau","authors":"Gintarė Bernotienė","doi":"10.51554/col.2020.28588","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51554/col.2020.28588","url":null,"abstract":"The author of the article examines the trajectories of the Lithuanian diaspora poet, Henrikas Nagys’ (1920–1996), works, their recognition and his ability to remain an influential figure in the field of literature. The assessment of poet’s works and his personality are highlighted by introducing behindthe-scenes actions and circumstances, which did not resonate in the literary criticism of the time, but were captured in the diaspora cultural press and in the private egodocuments that became available later, such as memoirs, diaries, and vast correspondence. These egodocuments constitute the basis of this research.The author of the article has chosen the historical empirical method, which suits the most to observe the dynamics of Nagys’ aesthetic and moral choices and evaluations in the context of Lithuanian diaspora—the early recognition of Nagys’ poetry; the strengthening of his generation’s literary position, actively pursued by the poet himself; promoting the authors of similar poetic aesthetics to the ranks of the leading writers (i.e. hierarchical actions); and later, poet’s sore reaction to his exclusion from the top of hierarchy.Nagys, an ardent patriot of Lithuania, who firmly defended his position in the disputes, was uncompromising towards the Soviet regime. Ideological and worldview differences were one of the reasons why Nagys broke ties with the associates of the monthly Akiračiai and the literary journal Metmenys and the Santara Federation. Nagys felt unappreciated when the literary criticism professing the new literary research methods put forward the authors of the renewed canon of Lithuanian diaspora poetry (Alfonsas Nyka-Niliūnas, Tomas Venclova, Henrikas Radauskas).Nagys learned of the value of his works and of his influence on poets living in Lithuania only after 1990s, relying on the reactions to his poetry (political context was also important for understanding its value orientation) revealed in private correspondence with Lithuania’s writers.","PeriodicalId":37193,"journal":{"name":"Colloquia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78272941","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}

{"title":"Primal Images of a Peaceful Being: Tracing a Novel (Works by Alfonsas Nyka-Niliūnas and Adalbert Stifter)","authors":"Rita Tūtlytė","doi":"10.51554/col.2020.28587","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51554/col.2020.28587","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of the article is to examine the longing for a “peaceful being” identified in the works of the 20th-century Lithuanian writer Alfonsas Nyka-Niliūnas and to explore his literary sources. The focus is on the novel Der Nachsommer (1857) [Indian Summer] of the 19th-century Austrian writer Adalbert Stifter, which Nyka-Niliūnas constantly mentions in his diaries. The author of the article also introduces the most important observations by the German / Austrian literary critics about the novel on this subject. From a comparative point of view, the author elaborates on the aspects that are close to the worldview of both Stifter and Niliūnas. Finally, she talks about the history of reception of Stifter’s works mentioned in Niliūnas’s diaries.Stifter’s novel depicts a closed, calm, and „storm-free“ world deliberately created by an individual. In this respect, Niliūnas’s works depict a clear connection between the space of the childhood home and loved ones, providing a sense of security and the importance of consistency and daily monotony that ensures a sense of stability. The relationship with the reality of things in the writers’ works differs: Stifter experiences the positivist closeness to reality, whereas Niliūnas’s works are characterized by the sensory and ontological being.In terms of time, Niliūnas puts his own twist on a safe nest of existence. He perceives the change of the seasons and their turnover as a measure of the stability of existence. The poet stops / restores the flow of time by remembering and by layering the segments of time. In this way, the time revolving around the circle of nature, or the circle of memories ensures the sustainability of the personal world. Stifter’s “Rosenhaus” is an idyllic place where a person goes through a thorough process of self-education (the novel is considered a Bildungsroman).Niliūnas recognizes in Stifter’s novel the importance of selfdevelopment. In silent solitude, to set off purposefully to the worlds of art and philosophy had been poet's main frame of mind through his entire life. Like Stifter, Niliūnas uses intertextual substitutions and cultural plots. It is probable that with the outbreak of war in Europe and the collapse of stability, to Niliūnas, the connoisseur of books, Stifter’s novel was  personally a very significant discovery, becoming one of the pillars of his worldview. The author of the article concludes that Niliūnas was affected by the conceptual layer of the Stifter’s novel—the revolving of the ontologically safe existence.","PeriodicalId":37193,"journal":{"name":"Colloquia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87403551","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}

Gombrowicz’s philosophyzing is placed in the very broad context of the Western philosophical thinking tradition. Subsequently, that context is narrowed down to Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialism which was closest to Gombrowicz and from which he specified his own position by strictly limiting Sartre’s concept of activistic freedom and self-creation and introducing the issue of pain and suffering.Gombrowicz fundamentally modified Edmund Husserl’s phenomenological conception of the transcendental ego, paradoxically identifying it with his own self. The author of the article also draws attention to the philosophy of life, mentioned neither by Gombrowicz nor the authors who researched his philosophy, which is important for understanding the foundations of writer’s thinking. He also analyzes the relationship between philosophical and literary thinking, the personality or even privacy of philosophizing, the “implementation” of philosophical thinking, and other issues.","PeriodicalId":37193,"journal":{"name":"Colloquia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76506350","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}
