Recently published memoirs of important women in Serbian culture can be understood as a powerful addition to the official history. In this lecture the audience will hear about Natalia Obrenović, The Queen of Serbia, Savka Subotić, the mother of Serbian feminism, Stanka Gišićeva, one of the first professional female teachers, and Paulina Lebl Albala – the leading Yugoslav feminist figure. Their autobiographical works came from different localities, social groups, and ethnicities. They focus on self-representation, women’s lives and perceptions, at the same time presenting a noteworthy account of Serbian history and society.
How do female authors contrast with the male authors of memoirs Đorđević, Milićević, Žujović etc.? Can we find contradictions in their confessional dramas and see the motives for their writing? What can we conclude by comparing women’s and men’s writings from the period when Serbian nation was formed? How can we generalize the difference and use it as an instrument for a better understanding of social developments not only in Serbia but in the wider Western Balkans region? Although women’s memoirs have remained culturally marginalized, their historical, political, and literary value will be presented. I argue that studying neglected women’s writings opens the possibility of a better appreciation of society and its ability to transform.

Žene u srpskoj kulturi dugo vremena doživljavaju kulturnu traumu, kolektivni psihički infarkt. One se osporavaju kao akteri društva: njihov rad se ne priznaje, on se odbacuje i poništava kao nevažan iako izvori pokazuju suprotno. Ženama ali i društvu u celini oduzeti su važni delovi prošlosti koji imaju moralnu vrednost zbog čega trpi celo društvo.
Izvori pamte značajne žene, ali ne i istorija. Oficijelni istoričari nisu prikazivali složenu dinamiku prošlosti i različite identitete. U drugoj polovini 19.veka uspostavljena je konstruktivna veza između obrazovanja, feminizma i napretka srpskog društva. Tada se javio veliki broj važnih žena, ali ta činjenica kasnije nestaje iz javnog pamćenja. Sa ignorisanjem žena, fabrifikovalo se izmišljanje tradicije velikana, iskrivljavalo se znanje o prošlosti, zanemaruje se nasleđe žena, propada ono što su one stvorile u kulturi, nauci, umetnosti, politici... Izgubiti prošlost znači slabiti svest, poništavati identitete subjekata te prošlosti.
Autobiografika istaknutih žena odnosi se na delove različitih tekstova u kojima su one opisivale sebe: memoari, dnevnici, pisma; priče, romani, pesme, pesme u prozi, putopisi... Pisanje o sebi sadrži metafore za diskurse istine i identiteta, to je mogućnost prenosa svoje moći, sposobnost da se učestvuje u uspostavljanju kulturnih standarda i pomogne razvoj društva. Ponovo se vratiti ličnostima čiju smo kulturu uništavali znači iskoreniti davno uspostavljenu vezu grobne metaforike i kulture žena, vratiti potisnuto pamćenje, omogućiti transfer iskustava i znanja, ili - stvarati istoriju pravde, smanjivati nasilje i afirmisati identitete intelektualki i liderki.
Ovo predavanje predstavlja prvu interdisciplinarnu sintezu srpske autobiografike značajnih, u nekim slučajevima i odlikovanih žena. Na različitim primerima pokazaće se da su istoričari srpskog društva i književnosti instrumentalizovali patrijarhalno nasilje kao političko sećanje koje osporava, negira i zatire sećanje na različite progresivne uloge žena u prošlosti. Koristila sam metode nauke o književnosti, feminističkih teorija, kritičke istorije, psihologije, studija sećanja i studija angažovanosti. Predavanje osvetljava vezu psihologije, naratologije i sećanja, ukazuje na zapostavljene potencijale spomenica i albuma kao žanrova specifične mnemonične energije i objašnjava potrebu uvođenja pozitivne diskriminacije u futurizaciji sećanja na važne žene iz prošlosti srpske kulture.

In this book, I continue to explore the relationship between women's fame and cultural ignorance presented in my previous monograph "Famous and Ignored: Toward Critical Inquiry into Cultural Memory" (2018). Now, I examine a case-study research of Maga Magazinović (1882-1968), "The Serbian Isadora Duncan", who went from being a famous woman in Serbian, Yugoslav and European culture, to becoming almost completely eradicated from the aforementioned societies.
In the book you can find the process of constructing public memory of Maga Magazinović, then humiliating and destroying her personality, reconstructing the memory, and again its canceling. Why did the memoirs by Maga Magazinović play a crucial role in the process of building memories? Who else helped the process of revitalization of memory on this figure important in philosophy, translating, journalism, women's education, feminism, and modern dance? I also point to the importance of her memoirs' chapter which was never published, where Magazinović revealed "the bomb" which destroyed her life and reputation.

Knjiga donosi nova istraživanja o elitnim ženama srpskog društva na teritoriji Austrougarskog carstva i Kneževine (kasnije Kraljevine) Srbije tokom druge polovine 19.veka. Saznaćete ko su bile žene koje su u prošlosti dobile najveća odlikovanja za svoj doprinos srpskom društvu i kakvi su mehanizmi tokom vremena uticali da one ne postanu deo javnog institucionalizovanog znanja, a najčešće ni deo javnog pamćenja. Različiti i zanemareni žanrovi poput memoara, bibliografije, prepiske itd. pokazali su se kao dragoceni izvori za razumevanje prošlosti. Knjiga sadrži naučne članke, prevode odlomaka memoara žena na engleski, listu prevoditeljki koje su objavile knjige prevoda tokom druge polovine 19.veka, ilustracije i fotografije, kao i arhivski materijal./This book presents new research findings on educated elite women, such as queen Natalie, first actor, first teachers, translators etc. in Serbian society on the territory of Austro-Hungarian Empire and Principality (later Kingdom) of Serbia in the second half of the 19th century. Different and under-researched genres such as memoirs, bibliography, correspondence etc. proved to be valuable sources for understanding the past.

On The Very Edge brings together fourteen empirical and comparative essays about the production, perception, and reception of modernity and modernism in the visual arts, architecture, and literature of interwar Serbia (1918–1941). The contributions highlight some idiosyncratic features of modernist processes in this complex period in Serbian arts and society, which emerged ‘on the very edge’ between territorial and cultural, new and old, modern and traditional identities. With an open methodological framework this book reveals a vibrant and intertwined artistic scene, which, albeit prematurely, announced interests in pluralism and globalism. On The Very Edge addresses issues of artistic identities and cultural geographies and aims to enrich contextualized studies of modernism and its variants in the Balkans and Europe, while simultaneously re-mapping and adjusting the prevailing historical canon.

The aim of this research is to make a typological classification and description of the variability of male and female literary characters from a gender perspective in the prose of Serbian realism. In this work, the analytical sample is, for the first time, extended to a double level: besides male heroes it also includes female heroines, who haven’t received sufficient attention in academic research, and alongside the literary works of male writers (J. Ignjatović, M. Glišić, Laza K. Lazarević, S. Matavulj, J. Veselinović, S. Sremac, S. Ranković, L. Komarčić and B. Stanković), the novels and short stories of female writers are taken into consideration (D. Gavrilović, M. Grgurova, J. Dimitrijević, D. Bandić, K. Cvetković i M. Simić), who were excluded from the histories of Serbian literature and the academic/cultural canon. The study has several methodological frameworks linked to the poetical and comparative intersection of Serbian realism, historical and ethnographic research into Serbian society in the second half of the 19th century, feminist critical and theoretical practices, the structure of identity and development of typology. The traditional interpretation of heroes and heroines as the leading figures of plot or action was abandoned because of the finding that the character that has a lesser textual extent has greater importance in establishing the narrative logic. The types of male and female literary characters are divided into two levels: “private” and “public” patriarchy, that is, into the level of narrow social relations (family, marital and relatives) and wider social relations (where identities are separated according to their varying professions, social status, the psycho-physical specifics of the characters, their methods of violating the law, or by marking their race or nationality as the other). On both of these levels, literature reflected the social repression toward women at the time, documented through historical and ethnographic sources. To a large extent, male authors constructed female types as schematic and inferior abstractions, whereas female writers deconstructed this negative politics of representation, by creating feminist types of female characters (educated, single, and independent young women, sisters, friends, students, writers, artists etc.), but also new types of emancipated male characters (fathers who love and educate their daughters, husbands who support the emancipation of women…). Thus the female authors emerge as more progressive than their male counterparts as they advocate new cultural identities of female intellectuals which were excluded or tendentiously and negatively presented by their male peers. Typological batches of both levels demonstrate that Serbian writers of either gender hadn't idealized the patriarchal family nor wider segments of Serbian society (as mostly argued in the histories and poetics of Serbian literature), but in fact often perceived them as regressive and negative phenomena. While male authors had negatively marked the types of the other (or different culture) as unwanted, female writers showed respect toward the culture of other nations and races, which culminated in the fiction of J. Dimitrijević and M. Grgurova. Tendencies toward feminist modes of thinking and presenting gender, as well as toward improvement of new societal roles can be found in the works of Ignjatović, Lazarević and Veselinović (and to some Ranković, Komarčić and Stanković), while Glišić and late realists, Matavulj and Sremac, appear as retrograde defenders of stereotyped, patriarchal perceptions of women’s roles. Out of all the writers, only Draga Gavrilović’s fiction is directly politicized in a feminist way, and develops new types of characters for the purpose of changing gender roles, which she understood as sociologically rooted prejudice. The convergence of feminist critical investigations of canonized male writers, as well as the gynocritic interpretation of the similarities and differences between the works of female writers has enabled proving the existence of patriarchal, male centered and often misogynistic interpretations of dominant interpretative authorities. For that reason, the need for wider investigation of Serbian literary history, and establishing different cultural values of the academic canon are concluded at the end of this research.

After almost three decades since the publication of the 17 volumes of
the edition dedicated to Serbian male scientists, SANU has launched an edition of the
collection of works on the female members of its institution. The aim of this article
is to present the methodology and results of the first volume dedicated to female
academics. Using the qualitative research method, the contents of the textual and
visual material are analyzed, and using the comparative method, the similarities
and differences with other similar efforts to shed light on the life and work of the
first women in the highest scientific and artistic institution are examined. It is
shown that the attention was primarily focused on the chronological presentation
of the work of women academicians, and that there was mostly no consideration of
the connections and relationships between the specificity of female gender identity
and social norms. Although a gender-sensitive biographical model for prominent
women in Serbian society was established in 1913 in the album Srpkinja, this
model remained ignored in this collection. Recommendations for further research
concern a more complete determination of the impact of gender differences and
specificities from a historical and contemporary perspective, a critical examination
of socio-political factors of gender discrimination, determination of professional
and social ties of female academics. It is estimated that this article can improve the
historiographical study of gender differences and specificities, and can be useful for
the improvement of state policies of education and memory, work, employment and
social policies

Eventhough the number of neurosience studies has grown from the late 20th century, the topic of fear in Serbian literature of the second half of the 19th century has rarely been separately researched. For this analisys, the author has chosen an unusual book in which, unlikely to Serbian novels of the time, fear was often described. It is the first book of the stories about Serbian female convicts of the 19th century The Album of the Women?s Ward of Prison in Pozarevac with Statistics (1898) by Milutin A. Popovic. Contrary to some Serbian, Swedish (1861) and American (1886) albuma of the time, Popovic narrated crimes and sometimes wrote confessions derived directly from the female prisoners. The purpose of this paper is to analyse fear, conditioned by time and space, its vocal, facial and body expressions, as well as personal reactions. In this interdisciplanary research the author has integrated perspectives and methods from the Theory of Literature and Affective Narratology, Compar...

Archives are important places for researching and reconstructing the past, they lead to discoveries, and they can refute dominant stereotypes. Despite that fact, Serbian feminist scholars have neglected archival research of women writers. In this paper the author points out to resistance of the main Serbian institutions to digitalize archival sources of women writers and indicates some consequences of contemporary feminists’ stance to historical sources. The author directs attention to some important but ignored examples of archival materials in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since they offer informative, significant, and complex account on the past, they can help reconstruct of the South Slavic culture and establish the importance of women writers. Keywords

The purpose of this paper is to present descriptions of nurses and first female physcians in Serbia. I used different types of literary genres and applied methods of New Historcism, Literary Theory and Feminist Theories. The authors of these descriptions were women and men of different social status: princess/queen, nurse, actress, physician; police officer and a prison accountant. The princess Natalie Obrenović and the actress Milka Grgurova described the work of Serbian and Russian nurses in different places during the Serbo-Turkish War in 1876. Later in her memoir, Queen Natalie Obrenović wrote about a big humanitarian role of Belgrade women during the Serbo-Bulgarian War in 1885. The first Serbian police officer and one of the first Serbian female physicians described first female physicians in their diaries while Milutin A. Popović depicted compassionate nurses in the Album of female prisoners. These literary works have been keeping facts about important roles of Martha von Sab...

This work critically examines some epistemological problems of the institutionalized public knowledge of Serbian lingustics and the knowledge of the opposed groups of social and feminist linguists. It also provides attention to some relevant studies of feminine derivational sufixes in the Serbo-Croatian and Croatian language.

In this paper, I use interdisciplinary research methods of literary theory, feminist theories, new historicism, psychology, memory studies, and social engagement studies in order to point at two groups of problems: 1. Untruthful memory of history and unreliable academic knowledge which transferred into all levels of national education and spread internationally; 2. epistemicide, memoricide and matricide or systematic destruction of knowledge, memory and heritage of important women from the past (sometimes executed by women themselves). Autobiographics of important women from the second half of the 19th century create contra memory to official representations of the past. As a self representational discourse, it can be one of the main ways of futurizing a vital feminist connection with education and the society?s progress which happened at the time.

This work critically examines some epistemological problems of the institutionalized public knowledge of Serbian lingustics and the knowledge of the opposed groups of social and feminist linguists. It also provides attention to some relevant studies of feminine derivational sufixes in the Serbo-Croatian and Croatian language. Under consideration are some crucial methodological issues such as supporting a claim, reliability of evidence, presenting disagreement among sources, and research ethos. The research contributes to the fuller understanding of the problem of social femininatives and to enlarging the types of reference sources.

Eventhough the number of neurosience studies has grown from the late 20th
century, the topic of fear in Serbian literature of the second half of the 19th cenutry has rarely been separately researched. For this analisys, the author has chosen
an unusual book in which, unlikely to Serbian novels of the time, fear was often
described. It is the first book of the stories about Serbian female convicts of the 19th
cenutry The Album of the Women’s Ward of Prison in Požarevac with Statistics (1898) by
Milutin A. Popović. Contrary to some Serbian, Swedish (1861) and American (1886)
albuma of the time, Popović narrated crimes and someties wrote confessions derived directly from the female prisoners.
The purpose of this paper is to analyse fear, conditioned by time and space, its
vocal, facial and body expressions, as well as personal reactions. In this interdisciplanary research the author has integrated perspectives and methods from the Theory
of Literature and Affective Narratology, Comparative Literature, History of Serbian
Society and Literature, Psychology, Political Psychology, Philosophy and to some extent Linguistics (Cognitive Semantics). It is argued that the author's insistence on
truth was the part of terrorethics, of causing fear and shock. It establishes the triumph of truth without beautifying, calling for sensibility, compassion and responsibility, in order to improve society.
The results of the investigation show that in Album fear is presented as a complex emotion. It appears as an act of defense, but also as a form of manipulation.
Fear is often connected to women and it turned to courage. The fear of death and
the fear of a dead human body are the most frequently described fears. The author
also described gender-specific fear of pregnancy, abortion, and rape. The Album breaks stereotypes of the past Serbian society and reveals different cases of women’s
political resistance and sexual freedom.
In the Album, fear is rarely vocally expressed, rather it manifests through different bodily symptoms, their intensity and spectrum. In describing one of the cruelest
crimes, the author included humor as a mean of defense and fear control. Emotional
geography reveals a paradox: a home is a place of terror and life threat, while a prison emerges as an area of joy and security. Moreover, the book describes two key
generators of the politics of emotions. One is made by the systematic violence of a
patriarcharchal society toward women, and the other one by inadequate institutions
which ignore serious social problems. The language of fear, shock, horror, provocation and perversion and the aesthetics of the genre is interpreted as a part of the
author's efforts for readers to feel terror of psycho-physiological mechanisms of pain,
and to make new connections with the society and its culture. The creation of a complex and multimedia genre of the album is in accordance with the author's multuple
efforts to deconstruct the layers of real life and its different dangers, calling for counteractions, and showing the tragic link between inhumane and unordered society.

The subject of this paper is the analysis of fiction and nonfiction of significant
women intellectuals who lived in Serbia and in the Austro Hungarian Empire in the
second half of the 19th century, the time defined by many historians as a key period of
modernisation of the Serbian society. Savka Subotić, the Queen of Serbia, Natalija
Obrenović, as well as the first teachers and writers such as Stanka Glišić, Draga
Gavrilović, and Mileva Simić, and an actress Milka Aleksić Grgurova, in their literary
works presented beliefs which were contrary to the prevalent society dogma. They believed that the education of women was a necessary element of a society’s progress,
challenging the rulling patriarchy. At the same, being aware of where the power of
conservatism is, they understood that the success of women’s emancipation is possible
in the future only if men become emancipated. They also hold the view that marriage
without mutual love and respect will be dysfunctional and they approved marriage between people of diferent national origin, almost a heretical position in Serbia at the time.
The main thesis of this paper is that the discontinuity in belief as a fundamental part of
the society’s modernization of the ninteenth century Serbia came from women intellectulas.

The purpose of this paper is to overcome the methodological reductionism of traditional historiography of Serbian society which has ignored women as historical subjects. The founding of higher education for women resulted in the emergence of the first female teachers, whose work changed Serbian society. In my previous research I pointed to the importance of fiction writing of the first female teachers-writers, but their documentary prose is also of importance. In order to shed light on the autobiographical writing of differ-
ent generations of female teachers, I use new historicism, feminist theories, and the Theory of Literature method of “close reading.” Published memoirs and diaries of known teachers (Stanka Gliševićeva, Katarina Bogdanović, Paulina Lebl-Albala), as well as lectures, jour-
nal articles, and letters by less-known teachers (Hristina Milenković-Bošković, Ružica M. Petrovićeva) provide more information on women’s different subjectivities, lives, family relations and conflicts, motives for public activism and professional progress, and similarities and differences between female elite generations, thus allowing us to better understand Serbian society at large.

The purpose of this paper is toindicate ideological, institutional, and methodological
problems in researching women’s autobiographies in Serbian culture in the second
half of the nineteenth-century. The dominant patriarchal norm of the Serbian
culture is the reason why women have been an undervalued social group and
a marginalized research subject. This mainstream attitude permeates both public
life and academia, which causes stigmatization of the researchers in woman
studies. Old historicism is still the methodology of the day, neglecting more recent
and modern achievements. Besides perpetuating and habituating biased (read
incorrect) knowledge, it neglects the complex context of the modernization which
seeks interdisciplinary approaches. In the first part of the paper, I turn to semiotics,
cognitive psychology, and memory studies to point out the importance of writing
about the self and to illustrate the examples of blocking the social transfer of
memory. By implementing methods of theory of literature and feminist theories on
life narrating, I explain the advantages of Lee Gilmore’s concept of autobiographics
since it encourages establishing facts on life and reality beyond the formal borders
of texts. This is the first interdisciplinary synthesis of autobiographies of important
women in Serbian culture. It considers political, cultural, literary, and subversive
power of both fiction and documentary writings by women.

At the beginning of the 20th cenutry, after gaining literary reputation not only in Yugoslavia but in Europe as well, literary works of a renown Croatian female writer, Ivana Brlić Mažuranić (1874-1938) were introduced into curriculums. After the Yugoslav wars, at the end of the century, her works dissapeared from the new states’ educational programs because the program was created by establishing national values only. In 2018, a new curriculum for Serbian Language and Literature brought back farytales by Mažuranić Priče iz davnine (originaly published in1916; translated into English under the title Croatian Tales of Long Ago by F.S.Copeland in 1922) . In that way, 6th graders in Serbia can learn more about a famous person of other culture, national origin and religion. Those educational and pedagogical tasks have been recommended by the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia since the old national chauvinistic and stereotypical prejudices still prevail among young people.
In order to help teachers motivate their students to better understand a woman writer from the past, the author of this paper presents some old interpretational strategies (textual and linguistic analysis, theatrical adaptations) and points out to new materials which shed more light on Ivana Mažuranić’s life and work (a recently published Mažuranić’s teenager diary, a biographical novel, a documentary film, art and fine-art animation films, Internet presentations etc.). New documents can inspire teachers to use the Internet and multimedia in literature teaching, but they also enlarge the concept of children’s literature and offer more informed, complex, and crtical views on the relationship between literature and society

By using different primary sources and perspectives of various disciplines, the purpose of this paper is to describe the types of play and relation between individual and society in the second half of the 19th century in Serbia. The texts used intersect different time and genre perspectives: fiction, autobiographical texts, documentary prose and periodicals of the time. Findings show that the Serbian writers decribed different types of play, those adjusted by social norms and some forbidden, dangerous, pathological and destructive. Play was an element of both private and public space, they were often played by people of similar age. Some dances reflect a distinctive vilage and city etnography. While a folk dance “kolo“ and heroic, competitive games were organised in rural areas, ballroom dance and theatre plays were organised in urban areas. Descriptions of parents playing with their children rarely appeared; in such narratives fathers emerged as devoted and gentle figures. Male and female authors differ when it comes to choosing the type of play and its style. In the autobiographical writings, women revealed their early childhood resistance toward gender role stereotypes. When narrating the same types of play women authors showed more literary talent than men. One of the women writers described a literary game which reflected the power of her imagination and creativity. A note from a Serbian periodical of the time revealed a little known card game, which had a purpose of enforcing the canon of Serbian male writers. This study shows that play is a phenomenon inseparable from society's ethics. In its understanding, the texts' power of discovery appears as a more important characteristic than the nature of the genres.

In this paper, I will present gender analysis of the national main universities’, Belgrade and Novi Sad, actual curricula of the 19th century Serbian Literature. The chosen period is evaluated by male and female new historians as a substantial time of modernization because of the language reform, state's independency, and democratization of education; it was the time when schools for girls started being opened, which further caused the emergence of women into the public sphere of life, the creation of a new audience, and the society's progress.
A comparison of national literature and culture curricula at undergraduate programs of the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade and Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad shows that at both faculties women have been excluded as subjects/authors from the referential syllabi. As a harmful consequence, the crucial bond which those female authors had actually established in the past, that is the link between education and emancipation of society, has been erased. Despite the fact that new relevant knowledge on significant women writers has been produced, the Department of Serbian Literature with South-Slavonic Literature at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade, contrary to the Department of Serbian Literature at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, does not have any subject which relates to the integration of a gender perspective in higher education. On the other hand, in Novi Sad three such subjects have been added to the master courses as the elective ones. The analysis of some elective subjects' names, contents, and references reveals inadequate methodology and ignorance towards sources and authors, studying of which is relevant per se and especially from gender perspective. They rather present tokenism or the myth of integrating a gender perspective in higher education than a real attempt at change. In order to overcome actual shortcomings and to replace reductionism with a holistic approach to history, I will present an example of gendering syllabus of the mandatory course of the Serbian Literature of the second half of the 19th century and give some examples of implementing other possibilities in obligatory and elective courses.

Autobiografika uglednih žena iz druge polovine 19. veka stvara kontrasećanje oficijelnom predstavljanju prošlosti. Kao samopredstavljajući diskurs, može da bude jedan od glavnih načina futurizacije vitalne feminističke veze sa obrazovanjem i društvenim napretkom koji se desio u to vreme.

Autobiographics of important women from the second half of the 19 th century create contra memory to official representations of the past. As a self representational discourse, it can be one of the main ways of futurizing a vital feminist connection with education and the society's progress which happened at the time.

The aim of this research is to shed some light on the unsigned male and female editors of Bosanska vila (Bosnian Fairy) and Zora (Dawn) at the end of the 19th century and to explain the importance of a new cultural identity of the Serbian women writers and their stories. So far, little has been known about the important women’s biographical texts and their portraits on the main pages of Bosanska vila, which confirmed the glory of the significant women. Serbian women writers promoted new and complex narratives of emancipated literary heroes of both genders; they created new plots, which undermined the authority of patriarchal culture. Milka Grgurova created a character of a Serbian woman who abandons her national identity because of love. Contrary to South Slavic regional cultural and literary journals at that time, Herzegovinian Zora dedicated the whole December 1899 issue to the Serbian female writers, confronting with its assigned editor’s negative attitudes (Jovan Dučić) toward female intellectuals. It turned out that some other “ghost” editor, Atanasije Šola, suported the new women of the time. Despite these facts, the representatives of institutional public knowledge did not adequately interpret the women’s writings, nor did they establish correct facts about the new cultural group of educated women writers. For these reasons the value of the women’s writings has remained unknown.

Archives are important places for researching and reconstructing the past, they lead to discoveries, and they can refute dominant stereotypes. Despite that fact, Serbian feminist scholars have neglected archival research of women writers. In this paper the author points out to resistance of the main Serbian institutions to digitalize archival sources of women writers and indicates some consequences of contemporary feminists’ stance to historical sources. The author directs attention to some important but ignored examples of archival material in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since they offer informative, significant, and complex account on the past, they can help reconstruction of the South Slavic culture and establish the importance of women writers.

A large portion of women who were awarded for their contribution in culture and education were often forgotten about, disregarded, ignored by the society and were never mentioned in history literature. One of the requirements for Serbia's admission to the EU is the fight against gender discrimination. The purpose of this paper is to explain the importance of including women's memoirs in the curriculum of the Serbian Language and Literature at all levels of education. During the research, I used methods of New Historicism and Feminism. In the examples of the memoirs' texts by Natalie Obrenović - the Queen of Serbia, Savka Subotić, Stanka Glišićevaand Paulina Lebl Albala I presented posibilities of their educational, aesthetical and didactic impacts. Women's autobiographical texts connect and offer the critical examination of different subjects, they are rich source of information about women's lives, they can change the position of an ignored genre into a constructive tool for a new politics of remembering.

In teaching, instructional texts include not only the texts in textbooks. In cases where there are conflicting groups of knowledge, teachers need to gather information from a variety of disciplines. Sometimes it is necessary to compare this knowledge with new legal regulations. According to the latest linguistic, sociological, pedagogical, political and literary studies as well as to reports on the state of human rights in Serbia, women are discriminated against men, and along with Roma they belong to the most vulnerable population. Attitudes to gender stereotypes are on the increase among the student population.While normativeness of the Serbian language argues that gender-differentiated language trivializes linguistic theory, that the generic use of masculine grammatical gender is automatically "gender neutral", the Government of the Republic of Serbia, the Commissioner for protection of equality and feminist linguists indicate that gender-differentiated language is the language of gender equality, seeking to respect the rules of non-discriminatory language against women. The principle of gender equality and non-discrimination is considered one of the fundamental principles of human rights, one of the key recommendations of the process of Serbia joining the European Union.The aim of this paper is to present the issues of feminine surnames, their different meanings and use in the Serbian language. I will introduce ambivalent attitudes of normativists towards this issue in standardized and non-standardized texts. I will point out one emancipated and forgotten meaning of the use of maiden surnames and the time of transition from possessive adjective to the neutral form. I will recommend various options of using forms of feminine surnames that do not discriminate against women.

Even though the academic knowledge is considered as one of the main factors of public and institutionalised knowledge (which distiguishenly makes impact on culture, science and education) systematic research of its realibility has not yet been conducted. In this paper the author investigates different critical practices of the dominant academic norm of the Serbian realism (literary theory, history and critiques) as well as their different forms (monographs, texbooks, papers, reviews). Reductive, tendentious, anachrony, and unsufficient critical scope with explicitly and implicitly projection of patriarchal ideology resulted in disparity between the number of produced texts and their usefulness, realibility and relevancy. On the other side, this practice subotaged emancipated and liberal ideas of (male and female) writers, who has stayed out of the cultural canon. Such methods confirm that relationship between cultural canon (history of Serbian literature) and cultural capital (the past of Serbian literature) remains conflicted.

Milka Aleksić Grgurova was a renown actress and a reputable writer of the late 19th and early 20th century. Little is known about her colaboration within Belgrade Woman's society, her humanitarian work as a nurse-practicioner during Serbian-Turkish war 1876, or her work in the first Belgrade's literary societies, as well as on her non fiction writings, such as autobiographical and travell writings, essays on performing in stage plays, and Serbian embroidery...
So far two monographs were published on Grgurova's life and work.

So far two monographs were published on Grgurova's life and work. Unlike Dušan Mihailović in 2011, Vera Crvenčanin in 2003 made thoroughly research, providing a wider scope by using primary and secondary sources.

In this paper some letters of a distinguished woman author Milica Janković addressed to her publisher from Sarajevo, Isidor Đurđević, are analized and published for the first time. The correcpondence is used as a research method for data collecting, trevealing the details of the author's life, unpublished original works and translations, thoughts on literature and literature market, society... When comparing to the bussines letters of another significant woman author of the time, Jelena J.Dimitrijević, Janković's bussines letters have the same direct and straightforward rhetoric. She percieved herself as a competent mediator bewteen her literary works and a market. She proposed all of her deals as objective evaluations. Unlike some of her private letters addressed to her friend, she wrote to Isidor Đurđević in a kind and cordial way however keeping the professional distance. Thus her written communication offers a wide range of information helping the reconstruction of her gender identity.

In this paper the author classifies and explains some of numerous
examples of marginalisation of significant Serbian female authors
from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th
century - Milica Stojadinović Srpkinja, Draga Gavrilović, Mileva
Simić, Danica Bandić, Milka Grgurova, Jelena J. Dimitrijević. Their
works were negatively evaluated by the dominant intepreters, academic
professors and the historians of Serbian literature. Contrary to
expectations their criticism was not supported by reasoning. Historians
also ignored relevant historical events. To to acknowledge a few female
authors meant to present them inadequately, mainly as beautiful women
or spinsters. Some other discriminatory facts in presenting female
writers were connected with the length of analyses, attitude and the
language. The dominant interpreters usually named incomplete list of
women authors’ works, regularly omitting their translated pieces. There
was even an open statement that the author’s gender was a starting point
for attributing discriminatory values to male or female authors, in favor
of the male ones. As one of the most manipulative strategies, one can
point out the obstructions to research and publishing of women authors.

This work focuses on the unexamined examples of those literary works of Serbian writers who do not view Christianity as a source of human ideas. A critical relation toward an Orthodox God, whom the writers of Serbian realism establish in certain prosaic works, such as those by Laza K. Lazarević, Janko Veselinović and Draga (Draginja) Gavrilović. The stories which provide relevant examples include "The First Matins with My Father" by Laza K.Lazarević, Veselinović's story "Female Convict" and his novel "A Peasant Woman", as well as a satire of Draga Gavrilović "Why sin progresses". Lazarević and Veselinović show the female characters who look for a different God (who will be more inclined to a female fate) at moments of the greatest pain and suffering, or curse the existing God, since the source of an eternally unhappy life is -a woman. Draga Gavrilović with valid arguments sharply criticizes the representatives of the clergy, and also deals with the problems of sexual manipulations of priests. These ideas of writers are interpreted as a critical insight of the need for a different religion and its institutional representatives.

Филозофски факултет Универзитет у Новом Саду Књига The Hidden History of New Women in Serbian Culture, односно Скривена историја нових жена у српској култури, објављена на енглеском језику, упознаје ширу, интернационалну читалачку публику с истраживачким опусом Светлане Томић и с историјом женског стваралаштва у оквиру српске културе 19. и с почетка 20. века. Поднаслов Ка новој историји књижевности сведочи о томе да је и ова књига-као и друге студије С. Томић-ношена амбицијом ауторке да интервенише у званичну, институционално засновану историју српске књижевности као оне у којој су ауторке присутне више као инцидент него по правилу, али и свешћу да је такву концепцију изузетно тешко променити у нашој култури чак и у 21. веку. Књига се састоји од три целине: "Нове жене и њихови културни доприноси" (The New Women and Their Cultural Contributions), "Неки од мушкараца који су подржавали нове жене" (Some of the Men Who Supported New Women) и "Конструкција, реконструкција и деконструкција сећања на нове жене" (The Construction, Reconstruction, and Deconstruction of Memory of New Women), те закључка на крају. Укључује илустрације, архивску грађу, богату библиографију и именски и предметни регистар. Светлана Томић је за ову студију награђена признањем Северноамеричког удружења за српске студије (The North American Society for Serbian Studies), којe се додељује најбољој књизи на енглеском језику посвећеној српској друштвеној и културној историји. Ауторка најпре историјски контекстуализује причу о женском стварању и прећутаном или порекнутом месту у српској књижевности, да би читалац могао да разуме специфичне околности у којима књижевнице делују, а особито значај образовања у патријархалној средини у којој су жене ступиле у јавни простор тек кад су се створили услови да се школују и раде као учитељице. Светлана Томић користи се методологијом студија памћења, родних студија, али на више места експлицитно предочава како функционише коди

Svetlana Tomić 1 1 S vilena koža i pileće srce je druga monografija Jelene Stefanović u kojoj se povezuju rodna perspektiva i obrazovanje u Srbiji. U njenoj prethodnoj studiji iz 2008. godine, koja je nastala u koautorstvu sa Sašom Glamočak, Rod u čitankama i nastavi srpskog jezika u osnovnoj školi, ispitivana je ka-tegorija roda u udžbenicima i čitankama koji se koriste u nastavi srpskog jezika osnovnog nivoa obrazovanja, a sada je akcenat stavljen na rodne ste-reotipe u lektiri za osnovnu školu. Knjiga Svilena koža i pileće srce je skra-ćena i delimično prerađena verzija doktorske disertacije Jelene Stefanović pod naslovom Rodni stereotipi u romanima lektire drugog ciklusa osnov-ne škole, koju je autorka odbranila 2016. godine na Univerzitetu u Novom Sadu, u okviru Asocijacije centara za interdisciplinarne i multidisciplinar-ne studije i istraživanja, na studijskom programu Rodne studije. Knjiga Jelene Stefanović Svilena koža i pileće srce sastoji se iz tri dela. U uvodnom delu polazi se od činjenice da su rodni stereotipi duboko uko-renjeni u kulturi i skreće se pažnja na to kako se oni reprodukuju tokom osnovnoškolskog obrazovanja, pomoću jednog od glavnih nacionalnih predmeta-srpskog jezika i književnosti: "Stereotipno predstavljanje rodnih uloga utiče na stavove dece i na njihovo viđenje rodno prihvatljivog ponašanja u društvu, i, takođe, uči ih da ne 1

Марина Благојевић Хјусон истакнута је социолошкиња и феминисткиња, научна саветница у Институту за кримнолошка и социолошка истраживања, међународна експерткиња која десет година ради за Европску комисију и Европски парламент. Обављала је експертске мисије у Монголији, Јерменији, Азербејџану, радила је родне пројекте за владе у региону и бројне међународне организације (UN DP, UNIFEM, UN Women, USAID ...). Хјусон је објавила више књига и преко 120 научних публикација из родних студија. Њена знања су видљива и заступљена у међународној и домаћој средини, али не са истим односом прихваћености. Свесна овог проблема дијахроницитета према својим радовима у Србији, др Хјусон више пута поставља питање рецепције своје нове публикације. Управо та рецепција, њена структура и проблеми могу бити нова тема за драгоцено истраживање у будућности. Хјусон напомиње да је нову књигу писала на српском језику не би ли њена знања била доступнија у домаћој науци.Та чињеница у довољној мери илуструје став српске академије према науци и друштву. Разлог нечитања и непознавања значајних студија можда не лежи,како је напоменуто, у томе што студенти не читају књиге на енглеском, већ се треба упитати у којој мери то чине њихови наставници којима би требало да је дужност да студентима преносе нова и поуздана знања.

Više od pola veka stručnjaci ukazuju na potrebu promene nastave Srpskog jezika i književnosti. Na veoma ozbiljna upozorenja o decenijskom urušavanju pismenosti i kulture jezičkog izraza nije se odgovorilo kako treba. Najkompetentniji naučnici tvrde da je danas kultura jezičkog izraza u najžalosnijem stanju.
Cilj ovog rada je da predstavi "Knjigu koja nedostaje: Priručnik o funkcionalnoj pismenosti". Nastala je kao reakcija na dramatičan pad jezičke kulture mladih. Predstavlja primer kako ljudi različitog uzrasta mogu razvijati sposobnost upotrebe jezika u pisanom vidu za svakodnevne životne i radne potrebe. Umesto teoretisanja o pisanju, knjiga donosi korak po korak praktična uputstva za pisanje sastava, prepričavanja, izveštaja, apstrakta i rezimea. Uz svaku tematsku jedinicu osmišljene su vežbe i predlozi za dalji samostalan ili školski rad. Na kraju su prilozi: o upotrebama ličnog imena, tabela učtivih izraza; ideje kako deci u prvom ciklusu obrazovanja predavati pisanje čestitke, pohvalnice i potvrde.
Interdisciplinarni pristup omogućio je potpunije razumevanje problema koji se tiču „nove nepismenosti“ i uticaja novih tehnologija; neusklađenosti izbora tekstova u čitankama sa psihičkim razvojem deteta; preskakanja ključnog koraka (razmišljanje o temi) u teorijskom i praktičnom podučavanju pisanja.
Metode i tehnike pisanja sastava testirane su tokom jednosemestralnog kursa sa studentima prve godine osnovnih studija anglistike; sa đacima prvog ciklusa osnovnog obrazovanja testirana je metoda prepričavanja; obe metode dale su dobre rezultate. Druge pedagoške, metodičke i tehničke inovacije zahtevaju dalju proveru u praksi i ispitivanje mogućnosti njihovog unapređenja. Za osnovne škole preporučuje se uvođenje praktične nastave pisanja najpotrebnijih tekstova na maternjem jeziku i usaglašavanje programa sa nastavom prvog i drugog stranog jezika. Procenjuje se da pomenuti priručnik može da poboljša funkcionalnu pismenost kod ljudi različitog uzrasta i profesije, a može biti koristan za obrazovne politike i nacionalni program funkcionalnog opismenjavanja, kao i za praktičnu i teorijsku nastavu filoloških kurseva (na primer Akademskog pisanja, Akademske veštine i slično).

By using different primary sources and perspectives of various disciplines, the purpose of this paper is to describe the types of play and relation between individual and society in the second half of the 19th century in Serbia. The texts used intersect different time and genre perspectives: fiction, autobiographical texts, documentary prose and periodicals of the time.
Findings show that the Serbian writers decribed different types of play, those adjusted by social norms and some forbidden, dangerous, pathological and destructive. Play was an element of both private and public space, they were often played by people of similar age. Some dances reflect a distinctive vilage and city etnography. While a folk dance “kolo“ and heroic, competitive games were organised in rural areas, ballroom dance and theatre plays were organised in urban areas. Descriptions of parents playing with their children rarely appeared; in such narratives fathers emerged as devoted and gentle figures. Male and female authors differ when it comes to choosing the type of play and its style. In the autobiographical writings, women revealed their early childhood resistance toward gender role stereotypes. When narrating the same types of play women authors showed more literary talent than men. One of the women writers described a literary game which reflected the power of her imagination and creativity. A note from a Serbian periodical of the time revealed a little known card game, which had a purpose of enforcing the canon of Serbian male writers. This study shows that play is a phenomenon inseparable from society's ethics. In its understanding, the texts' power of discovery appears as a more important characteristic than the nature of the genres.

U ovom radu baviću se savremenim feminističkim proučavanjem istorije srpskog društva i književnosti iz druge polovine 19.veka. Ukazaću na probleme isključivanja drugog roda i favorizovanja pamćenja kulture vlastite rodne grupe, što je zapravo istovrsna strategija koju normativisti primenjuju kada pišu o istoriji srpskog društva i književnosti. U okviru te strategije nečuvanja prošlosti izdvojiću niz postupaka koje odražavaju lokalne specifičnosti, a koje se generalno mogu opisati kao metodologija nauke zatvorenog društva. Ona odražava totalitaran sistem, u kojem je sve manje kritičkog ispitivanja a sve više kompromitujućih praksi lojalnosti. Zbog toga u zaključku upozoravam na opasnosti kontinuiranog kreiranja netačnog znanja i negativno ideologizovanog obrazovanja, kao i na probleme vršenja epistemicida, memoricida i matricida.

While neglected by official historians, women intellectuals organized themselves and managed to document their contribution to the evolution of the Serbian society. Relying on the analyses of the context in which Srpkinja was published in 1913, as the first album of significant women, the author of this paper explains the history of the long-lasting struggle of South East European women to protect women's heritage.The author also examines the implications of such methods on the society.

Неки примери производње славе српских књижевница из друге половине 19. и почетка 20.века Феномен славе и њену конвергенцију са ауторством проучаваоци повезују са масовним медијима, штампом и периодичним публикацијама. Ауторе не обележавају само њихова дела, већ и тела, као и симболи унутрашњег живота, али и разноврсни текстови о животу писаца. Сви ови аспекти ауторства представљају се различитим конзумеристичким производима. До сада се истраживачка пажња посвећивала проблемима маргинализације књижевница у српској култури, али не и феномену настанка њихове славе. Циљ овог рада је да представи неколико примера осмишљавања славе жена-писаца помоћу различитих феномена популарне културе како би се разумела динамика перцепције нове интелектуалне групе тог времена. Резултати овог истраживања показују да су илустрације и фотографије портрета српских књижевница почеле да се јављају у српским периодичним публикацијама друге половине 19.века на територији Угарске и Аустроугарске монархије. Концепт славе интелектуалки кулминирао је са настанком публикације Српкиња из 1913, која је део организованог отпора истакнутих књижевница према претећој опасности да се изгуби културно сећање на стваралаштво прве српске песникиње-Милице Стојадиновић Српкиње али и њених наследница. Производња родних разлика и пракси унутар индустрије популарне културе била је различита баш као и текстовно и визуелно представљање жена. Рецепција феномена популарне културе имала је субверзиван потенцијал, али није резултовала променом владајуће идеологије. Повремено је уносила корекције јавног мњења, док нормирано знање и даље не прихвата жене као историјске субјекте.
Some examples of celebrity production of Serbian women writers from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century
The convergence of celebrity and authorship is connected with the mass media, publishing industry and periodicals. Authors are not only marked by their written works, but also by their bodies, as well as by the symbols of their inner lives, and by different sorts of texts about their lives. All of these aspects of autorship are presented by different consumer products.
The rise of Serbian women's literary celebrity have remained a neglected scholarly topic.The purpose of this paper is to present some of the first examples of conceptualizing the fame of Serbian women writers in order to understand the dynamics of perception of the new intellectual group of the time. Illustrations and portrait photographs of women writers first appeared in Serbian periodicals, in the Hungarian and Austro-Hungarian Empire during the second half of the nineteenth century. Celebrity culture of women intellectuals culminated with the publication Srpkinja in 1913 as an element of the organized resistance of prominent women writers toward the catastrophe of forgetting the cultural capital of the first Serbian women poetess - Milica Stojadinović Srpkinja.
Reception of popular culture phenomena has had its subversive potential, but it hasn't resulted in changing the dominant ideology. Over time it inserted some corrections of the public opinion, while the normative knowledge still has not accepted women as historical subjects.
Some examples of celebrity production of Serbian women writers from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century
The convergence of celebrity and authorship is connected with the mass media, publishing industry and periodicals. Authors are not only marked by their written works, but also by their bodies, as well as by the symbols of their inner lives, and by different sorts of texts about their lives. All of these aspects of autorship are presented by different consumer products.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the insufficiently known role of women translators in Serbian culture in the second half of the 19th century, a time when women's access to higher education changed the dynamics and politics of Serbian cultural production. The research is based upon statistical summaries of volume 20 of the Serbian bibliography: Books 1868-1944, and will present the most relevant facts about translators during the time 1868-1900. According to my knowledge, this will be the first study of its kind. A complete bibliography of translated literary works will be summarized by characteristics of translators such as education, vocation, ancestry, sex, volume, genre, etc. The paper will examine the impact that translated works had on Serbian culture. The claim of historians of Serbian literature that translations from Russian dominated in that time will also be examined. Sporadically collected information reveals the significant role of female teacher-translators who were educated at the Belgrade High School for Girls, whose headmistress (Katarina Milovuk) insisted that her students should learn foreign languages. This cultural openness made a huge impact on the production of literature (for adults and children), scholarly and professional literature, and activism (antiwar, feminism).

Fakultet za strane jezike Alfa BK univerziteta u Beogradu organizuje naučnu konferenciju Književni, prevodilački i naučni doprinosi Maje Herman Sekulić koja će se održati 3. novembra 2017. godine. Maja Herman Sekulić je međunarodno priznata autorka obimnog i raznovrsnog žanrovskog stvaralaštva, ali njen doprinos različitim kulturama nije bio temeljno istraživan. U oficijelnoj istoriji srpske književnosti njeno ime nije zapisano, a tek treba adekvatno istražiti pitanje kritičke recepcije američkih književnih teoretičara. Cilj naučne konferencije je da osvetli uticaj Maje Herman Sekulić na srpsku književnost i kulturu, da opiše i analizira njen intelektualni rad, prouči prevodilački angažman kojim je povezivala srpsku i američku kulturu. Predložen je sledeći broj tema, takođe su dobrodošla drugačija preispitivanja (komparativni pristup se posebno podstiče):-poezija: vreme javljanja, određivanje njenog mesta u tradiciji srpske, jugoslovenske i postjugoslovenske lirike, analiza recepcije, ispitivanje razlika u recepciji i profesionalnosti među kritičarima i kritičarkama-romani i putopisna književnost: uspostavljanje veza sa prethodnicima i prethodnicama-prevodilački rad: vreme javljanja, recepcija, mesto njene antologije srpske poezije u okviru drugih sličnih antologija ; analiza prevoda i izbora jugoslovenske poezije; prevodi američkih pisaca i teoretičara-esejistika i publicistika: sagledavanje tematske okupacije ; kritički fokusi-Njujork u poeziji, romanima i publicistici-viđenje značajnih ličnosti u posebnim delima (Rebeka Vest, Mejbl Grujić, Nikola Tesla) i u Skicama za portrete-jezik, politika i kultura u sagledavanju recepcije dela: odnos prema naučnicima i piscima srpskog porekla u Americi; problemi reprezentacije, vidljivosti i relevantnosti; zastupljenost u domaćim i inostranim leksikonima i nastavnim priručnicima-izrada bibliografije radova objavljenih u periodici-analiza čitanosti u bibliotekama Srbije Izlaganja na koferenciji treba da budu do 15 minuta, na srpskom/hrvatskom/ bosanskohercegovačkom/crnogorskom ili egleskom jeziku.
