Accent in Serbocroatian: An Experimental Study
I. Lehiste, Ivic, P.
From the Introduction: This paper constitutes the second in a series of reports describing the results of an acoustic-phonetic investigation of the phonetic and phonemic nature of the accents in Modern Standard Serbocroatian.* The purpose of the investigation is threefold: to establish the phonetic nature of the so-called word accents in Modern Standard Serbocroatian(1), to describe the interrelationships Between the word accents and sentence intonation, and to provide a structural-linguistic interpretation of the observed phenomena. The first report (2) dealt mainly with...

Vitezslav Nezval
Alphabet by Vítězslav Nezval (1900-1959) is widely recognized today as a consummate Czech contribution to European modernism and a unique distillation of the creative spirit of the 1920’s. Published originally in 1926, it is a composite of experimental poetry, modern dance, and photomontage typography, by the poet Vítězslav Nezval, dancer Milča Mayerová, and typographer Karel Teige. This idiosyncratic and idiomatic work transports the reader-viewer through the discipline and fantasy of the modern age. The contributions of Karel Teige, the leading spokesperson for Devĕtsil and avant-garde...

Archpriest Avvakum: The LIFE written by Himself
Brostrom, K.
During the three decades between Nikon's elevation to the patriarchate (July 1652) and the execution by fire of the prisoners of Pustozersk, including Avvakum (April 1682), the Archpriest's influence and fame grew steadily among those committed to the old rituals. He was thirty-one in 1652, simply one among several outstanding clerics from the younger generation who had impressed Neronov and Vonifat'ev by their piety, force of personality, and devotion to spiritual renewal. Thirty years later he was considered a saint by many; he had become the authoritative doctrinal arbiter among the dissenters...

Cinema All the Time: An Anthology of Czech Film Theory and Criticism
Andel, J. and Szczepanik, P.
This anthology assembles some of the earliest Czech texts on film published in the period between 1908 and 1939, i.e., between the rise of art cinema and the outbreak of World War II, writings that were instrumental in shaping various ways film was seen and understood in this formative period.
The anthology is organized both thematically and chronologically to reflect the rise of film as a new medium, a cultural institution, and an art form—in other words, to document the discursive construction of film in its variety and multiplicity. The writings express a number of concerns...

Weil, J.
Jirí Weil (1900-1959) belongs among those Czech authors whose work has been available to the American reader in English translation only since the early 1990’s. His major novels, Life with the Star and Mendelssohn is on the Roof, have been widely acclaimed as masterful and highly personal accounts of the fate of the Czech Jews during World War II.
The present edition is a translation of a little-known collection of short pieces originally published in 1946. Weil is preoccupied not only with the fate of Jews, but with the entire spectrum of wartime society. His...

All four writers living in socialist societies are engaged in searching for ways to preserve and express their personal and national identities and, at the same time, retain European values. As opposed to their western colleagues, these writers concede that in their countries literature has to take on all kinds of extraliterary roles. In other societies these may belong to the fields of sociology or psychology: in the socialist world it is prose literature that has to do the job. They all feel the responsibility...

Piesn Niepodlegla: The Invincible Song--A Clandestine Anthology
Milosz, C.
Published in German-occupied Warsaw, this underground anthology of war poetry pays tribute to a spirit that, despite coercion and violence, remained both independent and invincible. That spirit moved the underground resistance but also expressed itself as a simple will for survival shared by the whole nation. The anthology reflects multifarious reactions to the war: at times a warrior’s song and a call to arms, it is also a complaint and cry of despair, a philosophical reflection and a reaffirmation of faith.
Divided into five sections, The Invincible Song follows the evolution...

Sutnar, Ladislav and Funke, Jaromír
The volume revives a major contribution to modern Czech photography, originally published in 1935. It includes 14 full-page photographs by Funke, Josef Ehm, and their students at the progressively minded State Graphic School in Prague. Professorial explanatory notes by a variety of contemporary experts accompany these images. The project was driven by pedagogical considerations, and as such it reveals the wide reach of photography in education, scholarship and culture. An afterword by Matthew Witkovsky and Jindrich Toman sets this important publication into historical context for the...

Rybi Supiny/Fish Scales
Miller, Kelly and Brodska, Zdenka
Bohuslav Reynek (1892-1971) was a remarkable Czech poet, translator and artist, who published several collections of poetry in the interwar time. Branded a “Catholic” poet in the 1950’s, Reynek suffered for what actually was an idiosyncratic faith, expressed in language influenced by ancient and medieval religious literature and contemporary secular poetry. In the last years of his life, there was a resurgence of interest in his work that continues until today, as witnessed by recent French translations. The present edition is bilingual, and it incorporates graphics by the important...

Sign: Semiotics around the World
Bailey, R.W., Matejka, L. and Steiner, P.
Essays in this volume deal in various ways with the process of semiosis. For St. Augustine, the cardinal issue was in the divinity of sacred texts; for Locke, the philosophical consequences of the semiotic; for Freud, the assignment of tokens to sign systems in psychosis; for Eisenstein, the problem of composition uniting distinct systems in the cinema; for more recent theoreticians--Mukarovksy, Greimas, Lotman, and Kristeva--the natures of semiotics itself.
Though by no means exhausting the subject, the contributions published her do reveal the common concerns of past and present. Toward...

The Joy of Recognition: Selected Essays of Omry Ronen
Barry Scherr, Michael Wachtel
On November 1–2, 2013, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures organized a conference in memory of Omry Ronen (born July 12, 1937, Odessa, died November 1, 2012, Ann Arbor). The conference included papers given by his former students as well as an evening of recollections. During the conference many participants expressed their regret that Omry’s English-language essays were published in journals that are not easily accessible. Barry Scherr and I suggested that we put together a volume of this work, and Herbert Eagle and Jindrich Toman expressed their willingness to publish it as ...
