The Formation of Latvian Literary Identity at the End of the Nineteenth – the Beginning of the Twentieth Century: Overlapping Vectors of Reception
MAIJA BURIMA The Formation of Latvian Literary Identity at the End of the Nineteenth – the Beginning of the Twentieth Century: Overlapping Vectors of Reception The issue of national literary identity is a complex problem that is related to a common view of discourses of culture and social anthropology. Literary identity is a system of codes that may refer to just one particular national literature and express both its canonical features and processes in its periphery. Literary identity is changing in time. It depends on the poetic style of writers and affects the readers’ understanding of culture. Latvian literary identity is closely related to the processes of the history of Latvian literature. The formation of modern Latvian literature dates back to the early nineteenth century, however, the origin of really balanced search of form and content is most often attributed to Juris Alunāns’ poetry collection Dziesmiņas, latviešu valodai pārtulkotas (Songs translated for the Latvian language) that was published in Tartu (Dorpat) in 1856 and contains Alunāns’ translations from different languages of the poetry by Horace, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich von Schiller, Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Heinrich Heine, etc. This collection is noteworthy for crystallizing of an important concept of Latvian literature of the mid-nineteenth century, i.e. for a young national literature to develop its identity, a thorough study of classical literature and the improvement of Latvian literary language were needed. These features are manifest in the genre, form, and content of two fundamental texts of the second half of the nineteenth century: the Kaudzītes brothers’ novel Mērnieku laiki (1879) (Times of Land Surveyors) and Andrejs Pumpurs’ epic Lāčplēsis (1888) (Bearslayer). -

Statement of use of third party for editorial help I confirm that parts of my thesis were copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Naira Antoun. 2 Abstract This study explores the popular politics behind the main milestones that shape Nasserist Egypt. The decade leading up to the 1952 revolution was one characterized with a heightened state of popular mobilisation, much of which the Free Officers’ movement capitalized upon. Thus, in focusing on three of the Revolution’s main milestones; the resistance to the tripartite aggression on Port Said (1956), the building of the Aswan High Dam (1960- 1971), and the popular warfare against Israel in Suez (1967-1973), I shed light on the popular struggles behind the events. -

Representation of Latvia and Latvians in Contemporary Latvian Literature
LITUANISTICA. 2012. T. 58. Nr. 4(90), p. 332–341, © Lietuvos mokslų akademija, 2012 Representation of Latvia and Latvians in Contemporary Latvian Literature MAIJA BURIMA Institute of Comparative Studies, Daugavpils University, Vienibas Str. 13 – 318, Daugavpils, Latvia E-mail: [email protected] Concepts ‘Latvia’ and ‘Latvians’ in literature are more closely than others related to tendencies of culture policy and historical and socio-economic changes. In Latvian literature there are not so many texts focusing on the Latvian nation and state as a phenomenon. The article regards representations of the national / state identity as the central strategic manifestations in contemporary Latvian literature. This strategy gets activa- ted in complicated or dramatic moments of the history for the nation / state. Recent Latvian literature brings out the representation of two identity aspects: personal identity – individual self-perception based on one’s physical, intellectual, and mo- ral peculiarities; group or social identity – individual self-characteristics based on belonging to particular social groups – ethnic, professional, etc. Within one literary work just one identity aspect may be represented but they may also overlap. At the turn of the first and second decades of the 21st century a number of texts were published with titles foregrounding the lexical units “Latvians”, “we” or some significant signs of the national culture. Aspects of the collective identity are widely discussed in several works of fiction the titles of which suggest common social and mental structures of contemporary Latvian population as preconditions for the exis- tence of identity communities. The texts analyzed in the paper include Kārlis Vērdiņš’s poetry prose collec- tion “Es” [I] (2008), Guntars Godiņš’s poetry collection “CV”, Nora Ikstena’s sketch “Par mums” [On Us] (2009), Vilis Lācītis’s novel “Strojka ar skatu uz Londonu” [Construction Site with a View of London] (2010), Otto Ozols’s novel “Latvieši ir visur” [Latvians are Everywhere] (2010). -
Towards a History of the Literary Cultures in East-Central Europe: Theoretical Reflections
Towards a History of the Literary Cultures in East-Central Europe: Theoretical Reflections Marcel Cornis-Pope John Neubauer American Council of Learned Societies ACLS OCCASIONAL PAPER, No. 52 ISSN 1041-536X Towards a History of the Literary Cultures in East-Central Europe: Theoretical Reflections Marcel Cornis-Pope John Neubauer American Council of Learned Societies ACLS OCCASIONAL PAPER, No. 52 Copyright © 2002 Marcel Cornis-Pope and John Neubauer Towards a History of the Literary Cultures in East-Central Europe: Theoretical Reflections Marcel Cornis-Pope Virginia Commonwealth University John Neubauer University ofAmsterdam Historical approaches to literature and culture have experienced a remarkable revival in the last decades, accompanied by severe critiques of past historiographies. The new approaches reject the positivist and orthodox Marxist traditions that regard literature as a mimetic reflection of an underlying "reality," "internalist" histories that isolate the discipline from the surrounding culture, Hegelian, organicist, and teleological generalizations of periods and cultures, reductive national perspectives, and, last but not least, histories dominated by "grand narratives." But if there is a reasonable consensus on the critique of the past, new histories have been slow in coming and controversial when published. Witness the series that the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA) has been preparing on the history of literature in the European languages, and the French literary history that Denis Hollier and his collaborators have published-both of which we shall discuss later in this paper. The following essay delineates the contours of an ongoing project on the history of the literary cultures in East-Central Europe, which will be published by John Benjamins Press in three volumes. -

Settling in a Foreign Land: Women’s Experiences in Exile in Latvian Writer Irma Grebzde’s Prose Fiction By Ingrīda Kupšāne1, Sandra Meškova2 Abstract Exile is a central motif of 20th century European culture, and literature was often tied to historical events throughout this century, especially during World War II. In Latvian literature, this motif was partially the result of the emigration of a great part of the population in 1944; many were fleeing direct warfare and the return of the Soviet army, escaping from Latvia. -

The contemporary world is increasingly defined by mobility—of people, information, services, cultural and social practices, memory—to the extent that a shift can be detected in the dominating modes of affiliation. Rather than identification with one socio-cultural or national entity, more fluid, mobile, and transnational affiliation trajectories and identification frameworks are becoming more common.
