scholarly journals Wilde about Wilde — The Translation of Oscar Wilde’s Salomé in Croatian Literature of the Early 20th Century

The Irish writer Oscar Wilde was extremely popular in Croatian culture in the first decades of the 20th century. Although Croatian writers of that time generally did not read the original works of British authors but rather their translations, Wilde’s popularity in Germany and Vienna sparked interest in his works among the Croatian readership and spectatorship. This paper explores the translation of Wilde’s Salomé from German by Julije Benešić and Nikola Andrić, and the complex influence that this translation had on Croatian literature of early modernism, relying primarily on the interpretation of the same motif in the texts of young Fran Galović and Miroslav Krleža. The paper argues that the influence of Wilde’s aestheticism is visible not only in the adoption of typical motifs, characters, or atmosphere but also in the autonomous and self-reflective language play in Krleža’s texts.

Various studies have been done in Malaysia on exegesis and its development. But less study was conducted on thematic exegesis. The study aimed to present the development of thematic exegesis in Malaysia beginning in the 1940s until the early 20th century. The method used to study thematic exegesis in Malaysia was qualitative using content analysis methods as research designs. The literature reviews were conducted to collect the data on thematic exegesis. The findings showed that the pattern of Quranic tafsir in Malaysia began with the translation of the original works of exegetes. Then the interpretation was made comprehensively and the predominant pattern of interpretation was tafsir al-tahlili and mawdu’i. The writing of thematic exegesis showed the great development of the 20th century and the topic-based writing became the preferred choice for the author of al-mawdu’i in Malaysia besides the lafaz (metonym) and surah (chapter). Among the topics studied were the story of the Prophet, faith, economy, family and ibadah (act of worship). Therefore, this study showed significant developments of thematic exegesis in Malaysia which further illustrated the society’s need for this kind of exegesis. This study provided new inputs to the researchers in Malaysian on exegesis in general and thematic exegesis in particular. ABSTRAK Kajian mengenai penulisan tafsir di Malaysia dan perkembangannya telah dilakukan oleh pengkaji tafsir di Malaysia. Namun kajian mengenai penulisan tafsir mawdu’i secara khusus kurang dijalankan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengemukakan perkembangan tafsir mawdu’i di Malaysia bermula pada tahun 1940an sehingga awal abad ke-20. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengkaji penulisan karya-karya tafsir mawdu’i di Malaysia adalah kualitatif dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan sebagai reka bentuk penyelidikan. Sorotan literatur dilakukan bagi mengumpulkan data berkenaan karya-karya tafsir mawdu’i. Hasil kajian mendapati corak pertafsiran al-Quran di Malaysia bermula dengan terjemahan karya-karya asli tafsir. Kemudian penulisan tafsir dibuat secara menyeluruh dan corak tafsir yang dominan ialah tafsir tahlili dan mawdu’i. Penulisan tafsir mawdu’i menunjukkan perkembangan yang besar pada abad ke-20 dan penulisan berdasarkan topik menjadi pilihan utama penulis tafsir mawdu’i di Malaysia selain lafaz dan surah. Di antara topik-topik yang dikaji ialah kisah Nabi, akidah, ekonomi, kekeluargaan dan ibadah. Justeru, kajian ini menunjukkan perkembangan yang signifikan dalam penulisan tafsir mawdu’i di Malaysia seterusnya menggambarkan keperluan masyarakat terhadap jenis tafsir ini. Kajian ini memberikan input baru kepada pengkaji tafsir di Malaysia secara umum dan tafsir mawdu’i secara khusus.
