{"title":"Graphic grotesque? Comics adaptations of Bohumil Hrabal and Bruno Schulz","authors":"Michel de Dobbeleer, Dieter De Bruyn","doi":"10.30851/57.2.003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30851/57.2.003","url":null,"abstract":"Although the practice of adapting the classics of world literature into the comic medium has always been popular, there seems to be a shift in preference away from the classical adventure stories toward the more experimental (or, at least, less realist and “adaptogenic”) texts from the literary canon. If we concentrate on the “Slavic” situation, among the more recent graphic narrative adaptations we do not discover only the usual suspects with a rich adaptation history such as Lev Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky, but also less obvious names such as Bohumil Hrabal (Une trop bruyante solitude (2004) by Lionel Tran, Ambre, and Valerie Berge) and Bruno Schulz (Heimsuchung und andere Erzahlungen von Bruno Schulz (1995) by Dieter Judt). This essay explores the Hrabal and Schulz examples in order to tackle the question of the adaptability of modernist or at least less realist – in this case: grotesque – literature into visual artistic media – in this case: comics. As Linda Hutcheon has demonstrated, adaptations are the result of a complex process of “creative reinterpretation” and “extensive, particular transcoding”. What this essay focuses on, therefore, is whether, and if so, how these graphic narrative adaptations of modernist fiction have reinterpreted and transcoded the typically grotesque features of their literary counterparts. The analysis shows that comics adapters can choose, on multiple levels, between a plethora of more or less medium-bound devices to compensate in an inventive way for the so-called “sacrifices” made during the adaptation process. In their adaptation Tran, Ambre and Berge, while omitting the more ludicrous traits of Too Loud a Solitude, managed to retain the intriguing complexity of both the content and the form of the protagonist’s inner musings over his own tragedy. Judt, for his part, may have sacrificed part of the equivocality of Schulz’s phantasmagoric literary world, but he clearly succeeded in visually rendering the grotesque imagery, the semiotic density as well as the narrative salience of the adapted text. As critical readings of their literary counterparts, finally, Judt’s work hints at the dominance of semiosis over mimesis in Schulz’s stories, whereas the Hrabal adaptation demonstrates the universal applicability of the novella’s humanist theme.","PeriodicalId":44070,"journal":{"name":"SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69704023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Realist Convictions and Revolutionary Impatience in the Criticism of N. A. Dobroliubov","authors":"S. Lorenz","doi":"10.30851/57.1.004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30851/57.1.004","url":null,"abstract":"The work of the “radical” critic N.A. Dobroliubov has gotten lost between the distorting adulation of Soviet scholarship and the Western distaste for Dobroliubov’s apparent instrumentalization of literature. Dobroliubov’s very short career and the impression that he is just a junior version of N.G. Chernyshevsky also contribute to the fact that his writings have not received much sustained critical attention. Yet Dobroliubov deserves our interest, not only for the intellectual vitality and historical significance of his work, but also because he, more than any of his contemporaries, grapples immediately with the core aesthetic conundrums of the civic-minded criticism of mid-19th-century Russia. On the one hand, the “radical” critics proclaimed themselves to be uncompromising realists, committed to a literature that reproduces contemporary life. Yet they also called for social transformation with an idealistic fervor that nearly matched that of the “Romantic” generation they despised. Thus their literary doctrine is shaped by the clash between a present and a future orientation, between sober empiricism and progressive vision—a conflict that had troubled Enlightenment writers in Germany a century earlier, and that flared up anew in the cultural milieu of the reform period in Russia. My talk illuminates Dobroliubov’s critical agility as he attempts to circumvent these problems, particularly in two famous articles from the high point of his career, “Chto takoe oblomovshchina?” (1859) and “Luch sveta v temnom tsarstve” (1860). I will analyze the strained yet occasionally brilliant maneuvers that result from his struggle to remain true to his realist aesthetic even as he desperately searches for signs of a positive hero. And I will show how the model of the realist-positive hero that was successfully theorized by Chernyshevsky falls apart once Dobroliubov engages in practical criticism of actual literary texts.","PeriodicalId":44070,"journal":{"name":"SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69704247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Facing the Legacy of the 1990s: Saša Ilić's Berlinsko okno","authors":"S. Vervaet","doi":"10.30851/57.1.001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30851/57.1.001","url":null,"abstract":"This article explores how questions of collective memory, more specifically those connected to the traumatic legacy of the 1990s in Yugoslavia, are addressed in Sasa Ilic’s novel Berlinsko okno (The Berlin Window, 2005). At the heart of Berlinsko okno is the idea that, not unlike post-1989 Germany, Serbia should confront its recent past, especially its role in the wars of Yugoslav succession. This article argues that Ilic’s novel not merely attempts to give a voice to the nameless victims of the recent Yugoslav wars, to those who Shoshana Felman calls ‘the expressionless’. Calling attention to the politics of forgetting in Serbia, Berlinsko okno also urges the reader to think what Jean-Francois Lyotard has called ‘the immemorial’, that which can be neither remembered, nor forgotten. An analysis of the Brechtian intertext of the novel, then, reveals how Ilic’s novel connects the ethics of remembering with the politics of representation. Emphasizing the task of not forgetting the victims of the violence of the 1990s, the novel provocatively engages in the current debate among Serbian writers and literary critics about the social role and political relevance of literature today.","PeriodicalId":44070,"journal":{"name":"SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69703883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
