This article probes the extent to which literary history and cultural history may mutuallyilluminate each other, without neglecting the poetic dimension of literary works. Thispoetic dimension is embedded within the genre repertoires that shape the production andreception of literary works. One should therefore take into close account that the literaryrepresentation of social conflict is always deflected by the prism of genre conventions.Focusing on the case study of the Dutch Gothic novel, I argue that Gothic tales provide aspecific take on the post-war modernization of the Netherlands. As such, they make avaluable contribution to historical debates about the periodization of the sixties andseventies, not in spite of, but because of their specific poetic properties. Thus, it is verywell possible to bring literary works to bear upon the discussion of historical issueswithout either infringing upon the relative autonomy of the literary system or neglectingthe specific expertise of literary studies as a discipline in its own rights.

The author investigates how James Joyce stylizes the space in his novel Ulysses for drama. For this purpose he carries out a comparative analysis of some episodes in this book. This analysis leads to the conclusion that Joyce transposes some dramatic genres and specifically dramatic writing techniques, especially associated with August Strindberg. Kozłowski emphasizes the dramatic character of some motifs that create spatial conditions in Joyce’s novel. Furthermore, he compares these motifs with the literary works of the greatest modern dramatists.

Dunia kepengarangan sastra Jawa periode 1980—1997 ditopang oleh media berbahasa Jawa (koran dan majalah). Kehadiran institusi itu ternyata mampu memberikan kontribusi yang sangat luas terhadap sistem kesastraan Jawa. Kenyataan ini menunjukkan bahwa institusi-institusi itu telah mampu menggeser peranan penerbit buku. Di tengah situasi seperti itu, pengarang Jawa menggunakan nama samaran perempuan untuk memertahankan eksistensinya (ekonomis dan popularitas). Usaha tersebut ternyata dapat memperteguh sikap para pengarang sastra Jawa dalam memertahankan sastra Jawa, walaupun keadaan ekonomi para pengarang sastra Jawa sangat kecil jumlahnya jika dibandingkan dengan pengarang sastra Indonesia. Sastra Jawa sebagai sastra daerah di Indonesia tetap dapat dipertahankan ekistensi oleh para para pengarang baru dan pengarang lama. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori makro sastra dari Ronald Tanaka. Dengan teori itu, penelitian ini dapat mengungkapkan dunia kepengarangan sastra Jawa pada periode 1980—1997. Adapun metode sosiologis dalam penelitian dipergunakan untuk memahami secara komprehensif persoalan di dalam dunia sastra Jawa periode 1980—1997.Abstract:Javanese literary authorship world in the period of 1980-1997  supported by Javanese media (newspaper and magazine). The presence of the instituation was able to give a broader contribution to Javanese literary system. The fact showed that the institutions had been able to shift the role of book’s publisher. In the midst of such a situation, the Javanese authors wrote under pseudonyms to maintain their existence (economic and popularity). The effort  was able to rein- force the literary Javanese  authors’ attitude in preserving the Javanese literature despite the economic condition in this period that made their payment for their works very small when com- pared to Indonesian literary authors’ payment. The existence of Javanese literature as regional literary works  in Indonesia can still be maintained by new  and  old authors. The present study applies the  Ronald Tanaka’s literary macro theory. By using the theory, the research tries to  reveal the world of Javanese literary authorship  in the period of 1980—1997.  The sociological method of the research is used to understand problems comprehensively in Javanese literary world in the period of 1980—1997.

Structural Cracks

The paper focuses on the phenomenon of “women’s writing”, a discussion about which began in the 1970s. Based on Elaine Showalter’s concept of “doubled-voiced discourse” as well as on Franco Moretti’s theory of literary forms development from the center to the periphery, which generates unstable compromises in the structure, its “cracks” and gaps, the article offers an interpretation of “women’s writing” as an area of increased conflict. The case study of three literary works of the late XIX – early XX century written in German language – Elsa Asenijeff’ essay “Women’s Riot and the Third Sex” (1898), Lou Andreas-Salomé’s novella “Fenitchka” (1898) and Minna Wettstein-Adelt’s novel “Are These Women? A Novel about the Third Sex” (1901) – demonstrates conflicts of discourses, genres and narrative strategies unfolding in these texts. The paper suggests the idea that such structural “cracks” and contradictions mark the departure from the boundaries and limits of contemporary patriarchal discourses and the dominant literary system.

Thanks to its wealth and to its proactive role in the modernization of book culture, Milan has been the main hub in processes of cultural integration as well as the undisputed capital of the Italian publishing industry. In fact, it was in the metropolis of Lombardy that major transformations in consumption and production of literary works took place, which led to the predominance of the prose fiction over poetry within the Italian literary system. A key event in this perspective was the 1827 publication of the very bourgeois novel I promessi sposi. In recent times, Milan has been reasserting its hegemonic role as the main site for the production of literary and audio-visual entertainment.
