Since the protagonist, the grandson of the Ustasha collaborator with Maks Luburić, took part in the war in the former Yugoslavia, the question of inheriting and perpetuating evil, ha...

The paper offers a translation of the Old English elegy ‘The Wife’s Lament’ or ‘The Wife’s Complaint’ into Serbian, as well as the explanations of translation solutions based on different interpretations of the poem, which arose from grammatical ambiguities of the Old English language and the composition of the elegy.

Analyzing frames inevitably opens the question of narrative boundaries, which is why our research is based on the conclusions made by Werner Wolf and Gerard Genette. Through analytical reading of the aforementioned authors...

The paper analyzes the reporting and the image of Serbia in the articles of the German magazine DER SPIEGEL, which thematize the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999 from the aspects of linguistic discourse analysis. The paper is theoretically based on the analysis of argumentative patterns or topos, established by the German linguist Wengeler (2007). The goal of topos analysis is the reconstruction of standardized knowledge, hence the empirical part determined what kind...

The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a particularly severe blow to the tourism industry. The introduced movement restrictions resulted in an unprecedented drop in tourist movements, causing economic loss and unemployment in this sector. However, not all tourism segments suffered equal effects. Namely, adventure tourism, as a type of tourism that takes place in the natural environment and most often in small groups, experienced growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, it is expected that in t...
