The article analyses the evolution of character and the transformation of literary forms in the context of courtly love through the lens of two late medieval texts: Le Dit du Prunier and Jehan d’Avennes. The concept of love is inextricably connected to time, revealing dynamics and internal tensions between the past and future expectations. The study demonstrates how, in the context of troubadour poetry, the pursuit of individual fulfilment is characterized by cyclicality and transformation, leading to the personal development of the characters. In both analysed works, a young man is educated in love by a married lady, which profoundly influences his personality and social standing. The variation in narrative forms—from verse to prose—affects the depiction of time and character psychology, thereby linking emotional development with transformations in narrative structures. The narrative techniques, such as metalepsis and epistolography, enrich the portrayal of relationships between the characters, revealing the complexities of their aspirations with regard to time. The article emphasises the significance of time management skills in the context of love as a crucial element in the personal and social development of the protagonist.

This article focuses on Heinrich Heine’s 1836 story “Florentine Nights,” interpreted as a reflection on the art of dance, particularly in relation to the dominant form of the time – the ballet. By juxtaposing Heine’s descriptions of dance with contemporary ballet treatises, the article examines how the author, through the character of the dancer Laurence, envisions an alternative model for dance. Heine’s narrative argues that the essential quality of art, even at the cost of aesthetics, is truth. This conception of dance aligns with the views of late 19th-century dance theorists who rebelled against the rigidity of ballet and advocated for the acceptance of movements that reflected the individual expressive potential of the human body. Consequently, “Florentine Nights” can be seen as a literary text that anticipates future developments in dance technique.

: The article focuses on the lesser-known literary representation of the camp reality, specifically the 1980 novel Jasenovac by Ljubo Jandrić. The novel presents a relatively rare perspective on the internment situation, namely from the viewpoint of the camp commander. However, the originality of the work lies in the author's emphasis on the natural conditions influencing genocidal actions. Nature is portrayed as a significant factor in the functioning of the camp. The article also pays attention to the senses (sight, hearing, and smell) as elements of the depicted world through which the author conveys the experience of the camp's horror. The text considers the demand for retrospective reading (Aleksandra Ubertowska), which allows for the reintroduction of overlooked texts to the audience, enabling their reinterpretation and pointing out their (non-obvious) meanings.

The Kurdish world is a liminal space. Within this space, one consistently experiences thresholds of war and peace, resistance and receptiveness, objectivity and subjectivity, social transition, and social distortion. This article emphasizes the experiences of the most renowned woman in Kurdish history within this liminal space, namely Mestûre Ardalan, a Kurdish princess of the principality of Ardalan. A poet and author, she was also the only female Middle Eastern historian active by the end of the nineteenth century. This article explores how Mestûre's liminal experiences structured her formative and transformative space, which represents what Victor Turner (1974) calls a “rite of passage” because it shows the drama and flow of daily social life and the significance of rites in social transformation.
The article explores liminality in three different contexts in relation to Mestûre’s experiences. First, liminality in the sense of being diametrically opposed to the existing structure. Second, liminality as a form of symbolic transitional status. Finally, liminality as self-abnegation related to the gender-neutral way she channeled her identity crisis in a patriarchal manner similar to that in which she had been subjected. In this context, liminality refers to crossing a new threshold or boundary, thereby voluntarily or accidentally leaving the old space and entering a new one.

Using the tools of feminist narratology Oktay Rifat’s novel Bir Kadının Penceresinden (1976) has been read in the context of women’s involvement in Turkish political life in the 1970s of the 20th century. The article briefly presents the path of Turkish women to gain full political rights. The analysis of the novel, concerning the main character’s involvement in political life, has shown that despite the fact that she was surrounded by revolutionaries, she remained uninterested and passive in political issues. This theme, seemingly digressive and reduced to a mere background level, has been proven to be symptomatic in the context of the lack of opportunities for women to participate consciously in political life at that time.
