Določiti je mogoče tri tipe nezanesljivega pripovedovalca: nezanesljivi presojevalec, nezanesljivi razlagalec in nezanesljivi poročevalec. Vsakega od njih pa je mogoče umestiti v sodobni slovenski roman: nezanesljivega presojevalca v Hočevarjevo trilogijo Porkasvet, Za znoret in Rožencvet, nezanesljivega razlagalca v Sosičev roman Balerina, Balerina in nezanesljivega poročevalca v Möderndorferjev Opoldne nekega dne.

Ključne besede: sodobni slovenski roman, pripovedovalec, nezanesljivi pripovedovalec, implicitni avtor, Zoran Hočevar, Marko Sosič, Vinko Möderndorfer

Né en 1911 à Sestri Levante, en Ligurie, Bo commence avec ses études de lettres classiques, ensuite il fréquente l’université à Florence, où il change sa direction, en préférant les lettres modernes aux lettres classiques – il écrira notamment un mémoire sur Huysmans en 1934. Il faut situer dans cette période sa fréquentation de l’animé milieu littéraire florentin, qui voyait, parmi d’autres, la présence Giovanni Papini, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Mario Luzi, Tommaso Landolfi, Eugenio Montale et Carlo Emilio Gadda.

Por uma Historiografia do Modernismo: O Caso da Competitividade nas Literaturas Anglófonas

and external conflicts are highlighted, such as the world wars and their social, cultural and artistic implications, so as to reach the internal conflicts, those motivated by the anxiety and the disorientation that stemmed from that turbulent era and that generated a number of injurious observations among writers, i.e., the invectives which are the focus of this investigation. Based on oral and printed documents, this sagacious, oftentimes unhealthy, competition explored by Anglophone Modernists the likes of Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, T. S. Eliot and William Carlos Williams, among others, is presented through the search of a balance between historical-scientific rigor and good humor.

Understanding Somalia through the Prism of Bantu Jareer Literature

by Mohamed Eno

In Ali J. Ahmed and Taddesse Adera, eds., The Road Less Traveled:
Reflections on the Literatures of the Horn of Africa.

Second, the essay discusses the culture and literature of the Bantu Jareer, and their "thought and knowledge," which Sorokin calls "the very essence of civilization." To embark on this journey, we must unlearn much of what has been said of the Jareer, in particular, and of Somali culture in general. This is important if we are to discover what constitutes the aesthetics of Jareer history, literary art, social culture and thought. This act of unlearning what is committed to the official collective memory of the Somali demythologizes what I call "monoculturality of the camel complex" so pervasive in discussions of Somali culture. It is an act also that will help us uncover the Jarrer's "...tool of self-definition in relation to others."-Wa Thiong'o.

This study intends a review of the critical reception of Yates’s oeuvre, through time as well as ion the present, emphasizing his main opus, the 1961 novel Revolutionary Road. An informed literary historiography that accounts for the greatness of the power of observation and social commentary of
the author’s fiction is sought as well.
