Promotion of "I" - trilingual antology of Macedonian poetry
|
The Promotion of "I" -
trilingual (Macedonian, Albanian, English) antology of
Macedonian poetry, published by Templum, took place in
Tocka. Together with promotion there was a debate on a
theme: "Who is the subject of Macedonian literature". |
This book is aimed to make an
intersection of the newest deeds from the macedonian poets from
Albanian and macedonian ethnic origin. In the time where the mutual
cooperation between the artists and the intelectuals from the two
ethnic communitites are very rare, this edition was aimed to be a
nucleus fro stablishing of such "integrative" practices in the
language diversity in Macedonia.
We concider that the book would be best promoted if it is
accompannied by a conversation where the macedonian and albanian
poets and intelectuals would say their oppinions aboutthe actual
problems that the title of the debate initiates. The debate was
about to answer some theoretical, epistemological and
socio-political issues which touch the literary theory, literary
history, classification and periodization as well as the questions
ofliterary legitimisation? The questions we arouse with this debate
have never been seriously and transparently treated in the public
discourse in the recent years, from the aspects from litarary theory
as well as literary practice. The question of the subject of the
Macedonian literature seeks a metatheoretical elaboration from the
type: is the subject unique, centralistic, holistic, organic and
collective or it is decetralised, plural, discontinued. Another
level of reflection leads us to the following question: who is the
subject of the Macedonian literature, is it the ethicity-nation or
is it the political nation (which means the minority groups also);
what to do with those subjects whoa are part of the ethnicity-nation
by origin but live and/or work in other languages; does macedonian
literature belongs only to the macedonian language or also on the
minority languages in the state; if it is the one or the other where
are the origins of the Macedonian literature; what to do with those
subjects, members of the ethnicity-nation which are in the framework
of the states but write on languages which are not spoken by
language communities in Macedonia. |
