Challenges of Translating Children’s Literature: The Terrible Two by Mac Barnett and Jory John
Challenges of Translating Children’s Literature: The Terrible Two by Mac Barnett and Jory John
Adriana Mandić
Children’s literature continues to be a complex and debatable field of translation studies. Consequently, contrary to popular belief, translating children’s literature may present a great challenge even for an experienced translator. Since children have a special approach to books and reading, a children’s book has to be seen from a different perspective and the translator often has to make certain adjustments for children that are not required for adults. The thesis provides with the...

Chanson de Roland et sa diffusion en Europe
Nikolina Butijer
Le chevalier fabuleux du nom de Roland, ou Orlando en italien et croate, faisait partie de l'armée de Charlemagne. Il est mort pendant le passage des Pyrénées au retour d'une expédition en Espagne. La Chanson de Roland a, sans doute, énormément contribuée à la popularité de jeune chevalier, mais il faut souligner que tout remonte à une légende. La seule source crédible sur l'existence historique de Roland se trouve dans la biographie de Charlemagne écrite par Éginhard. Il...

Cijepljenje autohtonih sorti masline na podlogu 'Oblica' na lokaciji Polača
Ante Pešut
Maslina je vodeća mediteranska vrsta koja ima preko 1000 opisanih sorata (Bulimbašić, 2011).

Poljski pokus za istraživanje postavljen je 2016. godine koristeći podlogu...

Cinematic Representations of Madness
Cinematic Representations of Madness
Josipa Sabo
Film is an emotionally charged art form which has the power to influence viewers’ emotions. Since madness is a product of the human psyche, the interest of the audience in this particular topic spiked a great deal of cinematic representations of madness. Ever since The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), the film industry has grown accustomed to representing madness as something less than human and the madman as someone who is violent, murderous and bestial. The images of madness analysed in...
