Erasing boundaries: Researching the emancipation process of Roma women within the framework of the heroines project
Contemporary societies, both globally and locally, are becoming increasingly aware of the need for inclusiveness and equality, especially when it comes to those social groups that have historically been neglected or marginalized. Women?s empowerment, in a broader context, is becoming one of the key mechanisms in the fight against discrimination and inequality. Its role is particularly significant in cases where women, in addition to gender-based,…
Women’s education, knowledge and competence in Ancient Greece
The paper deals with women?s education in Ancient Greece. In ancient times, women were dominated by men throughout the Greek world, while their roles and competence were strictly defined (albeit differently across various city-states). Although not all women were deprived of education, their education was almost never organized by the city-state. Women?s knowledge and voice were never welcome in the public domain. However, the picture of women?s …

The shift does not only refer to …
Humour and Antiquity in Film: Roman Scandals and Monty Python’s Life of Brian
Antiquity appears in films from the very beginning of cinema. As in other examples of reception, the presence of antiquity depends on the context of reception, the specificity of the medium which includes the relationship with the audience, as well as the personal mark of the author. The subject of this paper are two movies set in antiquity: Roman Scandals (1933) and The Life of Brian (1977). Both films are comedies, the plots of which are set in…

Ancient Myth in Brazilian Cinematography: Black Orpheus
The paper deals with two film adaptations of the myth of Orpheus that were made in Brazil in 1959 and 1999. In view of the fact that in both films Orpheus appears as Afro-Brazilian, these two versions of the myth may be related to Sartre’s concept of Black Orpheus, and the movement of Negritude that appeared in Paris in the 1930s as an answer of the black francophone intellectuals to racial myths and colonial stereotypes. Regarding the fact that …
Black Humor on the Film Screen: From Folk to Popular Culture
The paper is dealing with the complex phenomenon of black humor. Starting from different definitions about its origin, the author questions its folklore origin in Greek antiquity. Through the prism of the theories of Olga Freidneberg and Michael Bakhtin, parody and/or carneval appear as a worldview contrary and at the same time parallel to the serious, official, hierarchical order. Exactly this image of the world, and conceptualization of death o…

Josip Broz Tito: Hero of the Nation or Traitor
Focusing on the death of Josip Broz Tito, his spectacular funeral, the destiny of his mausoleum (a memorial that was built for him while he was actually still alive), and his hero cult, I study the change in the attitude toward him that occurred with the national awakening that took place throughout Yugoslavia several years after his death, although I limit this case study to Serbia. *** Prispevek se osredotoča na smrti Josipa Broza Tita, njegov …

Medea in the past and in the present: (Re)constructing the identity of a woman and a foreigner in the novel Medea by Christa Wolf
One of the most shocking, the most difficult to understand and at the same time the most inspiring tragedy from the Greek antiquity is Euripeides' Medea. This drama has a rich and a long history of adaptations that have always represented an interface between the ancient text on the one hand, and the author's reading on the other, which always depended on cultural and political context of the period that influenced the perspective of the author. …

Human or superhuman: The concept of hero in ancient Greek religion and/in politics
The word hero appears in Greek language with a twofold meaning. On one hand it is used for denoting a divine being, who lived a mortal life, but after doing some great deed deserved to become god.

Exactly this epic narrative survived and was explo…
