SOME REMARKS ON THE PROCESS OF EMANCIPATION IN MODERN ASIAN AND AFRICAN LITERATURES
Marián GÁLIK, Bratislava
This comparative study aims to present the characteristic features of the interliterary process in Asian literatures especially between 1917-1945 and in African literatures chiefly after the World War II up to 1960. A brief analysis is made of the genesis and the initial development of these literatures before the mentioned period, but attention is paid principally to the questions relating to transformations that took place within the domain of social consciousness, literary traditions, innovations, Western impact and domestic response. East – West literary relations are shown here against the background of representative modern literatures of Asia and Africa.
SOME REMARKS ON DEVELOPMENTAL TENDENCIES IN CHINESE CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE
SINCE 1979
Fritz GRUNER, Berlin
The aim of this study is to show a short outline of the development tendencies of modern Chinese literature in the People's Republic of China after the fall of Gang of Four, especially in the field of cultural policy and belles lettres.
NEW QUALITIES IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE STORIES (1979-EARLY 1980s)
Anna DOLEZALOVÁ, Bratislava
The present study offers a brief survey of some of the new creative methods
and new treatment of such subjects as rural themes, problems of intellectuals,
love and marriage, in the portraying of the past and present-day life. The new
approaches to a moulding of reality in short stories and novelettes, perceivable
since 1979, are strikingly marked by a deepening of the psychological aspect.
The introduction of new qualities into contemporary Chinese stories, especially
in the initial stages, came about thanks in a large measure to rehabilitated
„bourgeois rightists“who, after having been silenced for over twenty
years, returned to literatureas mature writers.

FAN
Dana KALVODOVÁ, Prague
The objective of this article is to delineate the system of conventions of the Ming drama in China as an outcome of two factors: its narrative technique and subjective, lyrical poetry expressed without any limitation of space and place of action.
SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE ATOMIC BOMB LITERATURE AND LITERATURE ON THE
ATOMIC BOMB AND OCCUPATION OF JAPAN
Karol KUTKA, Bratislava
The first part of the study focuses on general aspects of literature dealing with the atomic bomb, its significance, place in Japanese postwar literature, as also on questions relating to its periodization.

LE CARACTÈRE DU MARIAGE DANS LA FAMILLE VIETNAMIENNE CLASSIQUE
Ján MÚCKA, Bratislava
Le mariage dans l'institution de famille patriarcale au Vietnam comporte une importance particulière tant du point de vue social que légal. Il en découle tout un nombre de règles précises ayant rapport à la conclusion de liens matrimoniaux légitimes et partiellement aussi illégitimes.
ETHNICITY IN SUB-SAHARAN WRITING
Vladimír KLÍMA, Prague
Criticizing cultural determinism, the paper deals with ethnic elements in modern creative writing of Sub-Saharan Africa. This part of the world with numerous languages and dialects offers a variety of literary works inspired frequently by oral traditions. The paper points out the influence of religious faith upon imaginative writing and discusses both ethnophilosophy and the scientistic „new“ African philosophy. The case of the Igbo is briefly analysed for illustrating how ethnic elements affect Nigerian English-written literature. Then the paper shows how some African critics tend to ignore ethnicity, which, however, deserves more serious scholarly interest.
SYMBOL AND MYTH IN IBIBIO CULTURES
Monday U.EKPO, Maiduguri, Nigeria
This essay is based on the data collected in 1983 and 1984 in five Ibibio villages in Nigeria. The study emerged as the result of the examination of several events in relation to symbols and myths among the Ibibio people. The paper attempts to relate myths and symbols to social relationships and show that Ibibio beliefs, practices and world view cannot be understood unless through an analysis of the interaction of myths and symbols.
THE ROLE OF METAPHOR IN THE EXTENSION OF INDONESIAN AND MALAY VOCABULARY
IN COMPARISON WITH MAORI
Viktor KRUPA, Bratislava
Lexical metaphors occur in all languages but they play a more prominent part in some languages than in others. They appear in critical situations. From this point of view the vocabulary of Malay and Indonesian is of a special interest. The motivational diversity of the Malay and Indonesian metaphor can be reduced to several basic conceptual models. A comparison of Malay and Indonesian data with Maori indicate that there are some significant differences linked to the differing functions of those languages.
CULTURALLY CONDITIONED SHIFTS FROM MULTIWORD TO ONE-WORD UNITS IN THE LEXICON OF MODERN WRITTEN ARABIC
Ladislav DROZDÍK, Bratislava
In the present study, some types of culturally conditioned shifts from multiword to one-word units in the lexicon of Modern Written Arabic are examined. These cases of lexical restructuring are presented in terms of a comparison between the early 19th century lexical units and those drawn from the 20th century sources.
NOTES SUR LE DYNAMISME DU SYSTÈME VERBAL DANS UN DIALECTE HAOUSSA
DU NIGER
Petr ZIMA, Prague
La structure dialectale du haoussa de la région de Dogondutchi (République
du Niger) montre le processus de l’intégration des pronoms-substantifs
dans les paradigmes verbonominaux et verbaux comme une force dznamique vivante,
affectant les paradigmes en dehors des limites de l’accompli, pour lequel
ce processus a été accepté par plusieurs auteurs. L’utilisation
du morphéme gà non seulement en fonction verboïde et prepositionelle,
mais aussi en fonction prédicative inaccomplie assume une importance
considérable dans ce contexte. Les deux phénoménes témoignent,
en effet, l’étape moins <verbalisée> du développement
des constructions verbonominales. D’après cet auteur, il ne s’agit
pas seulement d’une pression externe du zarma-songhay, mais plutôt
des tendances archaïques conservées par le complexe occidental des
dialectes haoussa en général et le dialecte marginal de DD en
particulier.

DECLINE OF MAMLUKS’ POWER IN EGYPT (1803-1804)
Karol SORBY, Bratislava
An analysis is made of the political and social development in Egypt in 1803 and 1804 when a keen struggle was waged by British and French diplomacy in attempts to gain a decisive influence in Egypt. Contacts of British and French agents with Mamluk Beys in Egypt and interventions on the part of representatives of their demands. They failed to realize that the social conditions in Egypt had considerably atered since the time of the French occupation in 1798 and that their traditional forms of governing ran counter to the claims of the nascent bourgeoisie represented by rich merchants, tradesmen and, not least, by religious Muslim leaders. The insurrection of the population of Cairo in March 1804 put a definitive end to Mamluks’ rule in Egypt and shattered all hope of the Beys ever regaining again their former power and glory.
ECONOMIC FACTORS IN ANTICOLONIAL MOVEMENTS IN WEST AFRICA
Ján VODERADSKÝ, Bratislava
This study suggests that in the history of colonialism and anticolonial movements in West Africa economic factors played a more significant role than has been sometimes perceived. Attention is accorded to the economic basis of developments which on the surface manifested themselves as pure political matters.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF AFRICA IN SLOVAKIA. FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TILL 1900
Viera PAWLIKOVÁ – VILHANOVÁ, Bratislava
Based on preliminary research into a wide range of sources, the present study traces th knowledge of Africa in Slovakia from the earliest times till the end of the nineteenth century. Divided into three parts, the first deals with a relatively little known new source for the history of Africa which was found and has been since kept in the Central Library of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, while the two subsequent sections dwell about African collections in Slovak historical libraries and the news, reports and articles published in the nineteenth-century Slovak newspapers and popular press.
