Analizira se u kojoj mjeri te odrednice žanra – poput krajolika, kauboja, konja, smrti, kretanja kroz prostor, te opreke divljina/civilizacija – i danas funkcioniraju u vesternu tradicionalnog tipa kao što je Yellowstone, te zašto je mainstream gledateljstvu vestern još uvijek privlačan. U članku se također diskutira o procesu transformacije življenog iskustva bijelih doseljenika na američkom Zapadu u mit o postanku američkog društva (Slotkin), što se zatim povezuje s genezom vesterna iz pseudorealističnog u mitski žanr. Drugim riječima, u članku se istražuje mitopoetski naboj žanra vesterna kojim se stvara mit o američkoj naciji, mit koji se, poput vesterna, uvijek pripovijeda iz bijele doseljeničke perspektive pa stoga proizvodi ideološki jednostrani narativ. Nadalje, u članku se analizira retorika legitimacije žanra i ‘američkog’ načina života inzistiranjem na autentičnosti života na američkom (bijelom) Zapadu, koji uključuje povratak starim (bijelim, doseljeničkim) vrijednostima. Služeći se, između ostalog, argumentom autentičnosti žanra, članak pokazuje kako serija Yellowstone, oslanjajući se na ‘spektakularnost’ predstava o Divljem zapadu (poput onih kakve je uprizorivao Buffalo Bill na prijelazu iz devetnaestog u dvadeseto stoljeće), ostaje čvrsto unutar žanra tradicionalnog vesterna. Članak pokazuje kako Yellowstone retorički i pojavno inzistira na tome da prikazuje ‘autentični’ život na američkom Zapadu danas, ugrađujući u sebe mnoge elemente same mitopoeje američkog društva, ali kako, kao prava (konjska) sapunica, nehotice prokazuje te stare vrijednosti kao dvolične, jednostrane i samožive, ukazujući na nedostatke tog hvaljenog ‘američkog’ načina života.","PeriodicalId":40415,"journal":{"name":"Anafora","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69708518","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}

Priče njegovatelja sabrane u dvije knjige o demenciji: Alzheimer: dvanaest anegdota i Alzheimer u mom domu: obiteljske istinite priče pružile su mi model kako pripovjedač njegovatelj – umjesto oboljeloga „ranjenog pripovjedača“ (Frank) može uz pomoć vlastita koherentnoga pripovijedanja razumjeti bolest i prilagoditi se životu s demencijom te tako potvrditi moralni i intelektualni integritet oboljeloga ugroženog gubitkom komunikacijskih vještina u prijenosu vlastita iskustva. Nažalost, rad je prekinut smrću moje majke. Nastavila sam pisati dok traje proces žalovanja nastojeći sabrati u ovome radu vlastita znanja i iskustva o demenciji, predočiti načine pomoći (biblioterapijske, institucijske, narativne) u održavanju komunikacijske spone s majkom te iz analitičke vizure promotriti priče o demenciji kao „narative o iskustvu“ (Labov) oboljelih i njegovatelja. Pričama drugih, dodala sam i vlastitu priču o oboljeloj majci, koja je potvrdila da narativna rekonstrukcija može biti učinkovita metoda za prevladavanje osjećaja bespomoćnosti njegovatelja suočenih s „pričama kaosa“ (Frank) oboljelih. Priče njegovatelja o bolesti demencije pomažu u izgradnji kolektivnog glasa oboljelih te tako uklanjanju stigme koje ih prate u društvu, mogu biti od koristi i liječnicima kao „formalnim njegovateljima“ i članovima obitelji kao „neformalnim njegovateljima“ koji se trude održati komunikaciju s najmilijima, a mogu poslužiti i kao predložak za kulturnoantropološka, književnoznanstvena, folkloristička i srodna istraživanja koja se bave narativima bolesti. Pisala sam ovaj rad uz nadu da on može pomoći njegovateljima u sličnim situacijama, a sam čin pisanja bio je – nakon smrti moje majke – autoterapijska metoda suočavanja s gubitkom voljene osobe.","PeriodicalId":40415,"journal":{"name":"Anafora","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69708637","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}

Accordingly,one may claim that a case study of Mary Oliver’s poems can fulfill the mainobjective of this short study regarding the fact that the mutuality of affect theory andecocriticism can pave the way for gaining further insight into investigation of herpoems, stemming from the fact that the speaker‐poet’s body and mind are the intersectionsof affective encounters with the rhythms of nature.

U kontekstu hrvatskih baroknih religioznih poema (Ivan Gundulić, Suze sina razmetnoga; Ivan Bunić Vučić, Mandalijena pokornica; Ignjat Đurđević, Uzdasi Mandalijene pokornice) Kanižlićeva se pored već uočenih razlika (u odnosu na: motive i teme, strukturu, metar, molitvu kao sekundarni žanr) izdvaja i u odnosu na opisani životinjski svijet. Zastupljenost životinjskih vrsta u navedenim poemama nije ujednačena: najmanja je u Bunićevoj Mandalijeni pokornici (10), ujednačena u Uzdasima Mandalijene pokornice (21) i u Suzama sina razmetnoga (22), a najbrojnija u Svetoj Rožaliji (61). Istraživanje carstva Animalia u Rožaliji pokazalo je da je fauna najbrojnija u prvome dijelu, za trećinu manja u drugome i trećemu dijelu, dok je u četvrtome dijelu svedena na samo jednu trećinu prvoga dijela.

Prema kraju poeme barokno „unutarnje oko“ sve je manje otvoreno prema životinjskome svijetu, a različita lirska i moralna simbolika koja proizlazi iz figurativnih podudarnosti s određenim moralnim i teološkim poimanjima sve češća.","PeriodicalId":40415,"journal":{"name":"Anafora","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69708600","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}

Once she decides to lose weight and turn into what the society has always demanded her to look like, she develops an identity crisis which is reflected in her literary production. There are several barriers in the process of Joan’s identity formation that reveal themselves later in her narratives as an author.

The whole novel contains a diary written by the English butler Stevens who relates his history of servitude at Darlington Hall and concludes with some revelations about the true nature of his past. Since the butler’s account gives hints of his concern for the extent of his achievement in life, his reassessing act of delving into the past can be taken as an attempt to resolve his midlife crisis. Being the seventh stage of Erik Erikson’s developmental psychology, a midlife crisis is primarily characterized by the binary “generativity versus stagnation” and the subject’s struggle to decide on the meaning of life. Occurring between 40 and 65, midlife crisis is stimulated by the reconsideration of social demands such as career and marriage. Applying this psychoanalytic approach to Stevens’ experience of midlife crisis, the present research investigates the place of Lord Darlington and Miss Kenton, the former Stevens’ employer and the latter his only love object, as embodiments of the social demands of career and marriage that the butler reviews in his midlife stage. Ultimately, this research discusses the butler’s success in resolving his midlife crisis through considering the individuation process, namely self-awareness, self-actualization, and the caring power, which the protagonist goes through.","PeriodicalId":40415,"journal":{"name":"Anafora","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69710903","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}
