The promotion of Oriental Institute editions
On Tuesday, 2 April 2019, in the UNSA Rectorate’s Ceremonial Hall the promotion of the UNSA Oriental Institute’s editions took place.
“Today's promotion is of great importance for the functioning of such an institution, such as the Oriental Institute, which will present with its scientific and critical criticism the greatest number of original works and materials that are written and written in the Ottoman, Turkish, Arabic and Persian languages would be available to today's scientific audience but also to our world public. Today's promotion is special because it is dedicated to Academician Esad Duraković, as a sign of gratitude for the unremitting contribution to the development of the Oriental Institute of the University of Sarajevo and the entire BH Orienteology. Academician Duraković has again rejoined us with his book, which will additionally approximate the poetry and poetry of that time to our expert public” said Prof. Dr. Rifat Škrijelj, University of Sarajevo Rector in his introductory address.
Dr. Amina Šiljak Jesenković, senior research associate for the field of Turkish language and literature, and editor-in-chief of the magazine Prilozi za orijentalnu filologiju 67/2017 in the introductory address spoke about scientific works in the field of philology, language and literature, and on the contributions and bibliographies in this number. She emphasized that this was the original scientific work of Prof. Dr. Elma Dizdar, Prof. Dr. Munir Mujić, Dr. Berin Bajrić and Prof. Dr. Mirza Sarajkić from the field of arabism, Goran Pavelić from Zagreb in the field of turkology, and on the contribution of Prof. Dr. Milan Adamović from Gottingem and a bibliography of the works by Academician Duraković as prepared by Minela Đelmo.
Dr. Elma Korić, Senior Research Associate for the History of the Ottoman Period at a promotional event, spoke about works in the field of history and diplomacy and the history of art and cultural history, and presented reviews of published books in these fields.
The book by Academician Esad Duraković Klasično pjesništvo na arapskom, perzijskom i turskom jeziku. Poetološki pristup (Classical poetry in Arabic, Persian and Turkish. A poetic approach) is a multidisciplinary study that testifies to the continuity and evaluation of literature in Arabic, Persian and Turkish. The author sublimates several scientific disciplines from oriental philology, history of literature, literary theory, methodology of studying literature, and directs it to the terminological and scientific foundation of classical literature in Oriental languages. In doing so, as the provincial motive of the entire study, the thesis about the inseparability of this “empire of literature” is being examined, which is completely opposite to the contemporary division of literature on the basis of ethnic and state-political communities, spoke Prof. Dr. Munir Mujić, Professor at the Department of Arabic Language and Literature, Department of Oriental Philology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo, and Prof. Dr. Munir Drkić, Professor at the Department of Persian Language and Literature, Department of Oriental Philology, Faculty of Philosophy, Sarajevo.
Journal of the Oriental Institute of the University of Sarajevo. Contributions to oriental philology are published once a year and are published scientific papers in the fields of philology, literature, history and diplomacy, art history and cultural history, and presentations of relevant literature published in our country and in the world related to topics of the magazine.
