  • Picture Postcards Sent from Japan by Austro-Hungarian Navy Members ABSTRACT 1. INTRODUCTION
    Chikako Shigemori Bučar Chikako Shigemori Bučar Picture Postcards Sent from Japan by Austro-Hungarian Navy Members Izvorni znanstveni rad Original scientific paper UDK 359(439.5):676.813(520)“19“ https://doi.org/10.32728/tab.16.2019.1 ABSTRACT Many of the old Japanese postcards archived in Slovenia today date from the period between the 1890s and 1920s when Austro-Hunga- rian Navy members were active and travelled to Japan as a part of their duties. Collectors and users of these postcards were of Slovenian origin. Their postcards were identified in the National and University Library in Ljubljana and in the Maritime Museum “Sergej Mašera” Piran. A postcard in private possession has also been added to the list. The format regula- tion of postcard printing changed in Japan in 1907 and this is confirmed using the postcards identified in Slovenia. The main motifs of the pictu- res were of scenery, portraits and individual objects. Among them, the category of scenery is dominated by ports, such as Yokohama, Kobe and Nagasaki, which are later overtaken as they become tourist destinati- ons. The most characteristic postcards from this period around the turn of the century fall under the category of portrait: clothing and hairdos, customs and professions were all the focus of attention. These photos were made in photo studios with the aim of introducing Japan and its culture to Western visitors. As for the category of individual objects, picture postcards of Russian and Japanese warships attract our eyes. Keywords: picture postcards, Austro-Hungary, Japan, Meiji, fûkei sha - shin (scenery photo) fûzoku shashin (clothing and customs photo), ports, warships 1.

  • Alma M. Karlin's Visits to Temples and Shrines in Japan
    ALMA M. KARLIN’S VISITS TO TEMPLES AND SHRINES IN JAPAN Chikako Shigemori Bučar Introduction Alma M. Karlin (1889-1950), born in Celje, went on a journey around the world between 1919 and 1928, and stayed in Japan for a lit- tle more than a year, from June 1922 to July 1923. There is a large col- lection of postcards from her journey archived in the Regional Museum of Celje. Among them are quite a number of postcards from Japan (528 pieces), and among these, about 100 of temples and shrines, including tombs of emperors and other historical persons - i.e., postcards related to religions and folk traditions of Japan. Karlin almost always wrote on the reverse of these postcards some lines of explanation about each picture in German. On the other hand, the Japanese part of her trav- elogue is very short, only about 40 pages of 700. (Einsame Weltreise / Im Banne der Südsee, both published in Germany in 1930). In order to understand Alma Karlin’s observation and interpretation of matters related to religions in Japan and beliefs of Japanese people, we depend on her memos on the postcards and her rather subjective impressions in her travelogue. This paper presents facts on the religious sights which Karlin is thought to have visited, and an analysis of Karlin’s understand- ing and interpretation of the Japanese religious life based on her memos on the postcards and the Japanese part of her travelogue. In the following section, Alma Karlin and her journey around the world are briefly presented, with a specific focus on the year of her stay in Japan, 1922-1923.

    UDK 821.163.6.09:725.94(497.4) Marijan Dović ZRC SAZU Institute of Slovene Literature and Literary Studies, Ljubljana THE NETWORK OF MEMORIALS OF SLOVENE Literary Culture AS SEMIOTIC Appropriation OF (National) Space This article treats the network of memorials or memorial landmarks of Slovene literary culture, which began forming in the middle of the nineteenth century and yet today powerfully marks the Slovene territories’ cultural landscape. The first part of the article reviews historical models for the formation of such networks, which can be understood as the semiotic appropria- tion of (national) space connected with the canonization of a handful of prominent »cultural saints« and numerous men of letters of lesser stature. Then the partial results of a GIS project to map Slovene literary memorials are appraised, along with its methodological challenges and possible contributions to a better understanding of the spaces of Slovene literary culture. Key words: Slovene literature, literary culture, cultural nationalism, cultural saints, me- morials, mnemotopes, space 1 Introduction Literature’s semiotic interventions into geographic space are not limited to the textual sphere. Literary cultures reshape physical spaces by means of the network of memorial sites (mnemotopes, lieux de mémoire) as well. Such networks have visibly marked the geographic spaces of European cultures, especially since the late eight- eenth century, when cultural nationalism started spreading rapidly over the conti- nent. Their treatment in this article has a twofold motivation. On the one hand, it is prompted by study of canonization of national poets and other »cultural saints« that has exposed space as an important element.

  • Alma M. Karlin's Description of Chinese Funerary
    DEATH IN BEIJING: ALMA M. KARLIN’S DESCRIPTION OF CHINESE FUNERARY RITUALS AND MOURNING PRACTICES Nataša Vampelj Suhadolnik Introduction Alma Maximiliane Karlin (1889–1950) was a traveller, writer, jour- nalist, and collector from Slovenia who embarked on an eight-year jour- ney around the world in November 1919. It is possible to reconstruct her journey from her watercolours of flowers and plants, which bear the date and place where they were painted, as well as from the postcards she sent to her mother and friends in Celje.1 During her travels, which took her to at least 45 different countries, she supported herself mainly through work as an interpreter and journalist, but was often compelled to take on other jobs in order to make ends meet. Ultimately, she was to write about her travel experiences for more than thirty different news- papers and magazines across the globe, including the Cillier Zeitung, a local German-language newspaper in Slovenia. In her novels and other prose works she would continue to draw on her adventures and impres- sions from those years. Karlin’s legacy is rich and varied. In addition to a large collection of artefacts that she brought back from her journey to- gether with photographs, postcards, a herbarium, watercolours, sketch- es, and drawings, she also left behind both published and unpublished 1 Barbara Trnovec, Kolumbova hči: Življenje in delo Alme M.

Neben dem Wörterbuch, das sich im Nachlass der Autorin in der slowe­ nischen Nationalbibliothek NUK in Ljubljana befindet, wurden auch ihre Notizhefte, das Herbarium und ihre Pflanzenzeichnungen herangezogen, um die Bedeutung der Pflanzen für Alma Karlin, indirekt aber auch ihre Beziehung zur slowenischen Sprache zu ergründen.1 Problematik des Übersetzens von Pflanzennamen ins Slowenische Beim Lesen eines fremdsprachigen Buches ist es meist nicht unabdingbar notwendig, alle vorkommenden Pflanzen zu kennen, um der Geschichte folgen zu können. Als Übersetzer kann man ihnen nicht ausweichen. Die Kindheit der Übersetzer könnte bis zu einem bestimmten Grad die Wahl der später im Leben übersetzten Texte mitbeeinflussen – sowohl inhaltlich als auch vom Wortschatz her. Unter vielen anderen Werken deutschsprachi­ ger Literatur lernte ich dank Neva Šlibar auch Marlen Haushofers Roman Die Wand kennen.
