Abstract
Studija predstavlja rezultat namere da se sagledaju i protumaĉe problemi i perspektive teorijske
aproprijacije kao prakse predstavljene na primeru apropriranja pojmova karnevala i maskarade.
Ovaj metateorijski poduhvat oslanja se na hibridnu, interdisciplinarnu platformu nauĉnih
pristupa, svojstvenih razliĉitim, preteţno humanistiĉkim oblastima, u kojima su mapirani
istorijski, kulturalni, umetniĉki i teorijski vidovi pojavljivanja karnevala i maskarade. Teorijska
aproprijacija karnevala i maskarade jeste kompleksan i heterogen interpretativni proces, koji
uvaţava, s jedne strane, socio-istorijsku situiranost karnevala i maskarade i, s druge strane, niz
teorijskih postupaka pomoću kojih se karneval i maskarada „transformišu” u apstraktne i
eksplanatorne koncepte. Shodno tome, u studiji se uzimaju u obzir karneval i maskarada kao
društvena dešavanja i institucije, te prezentuju osnove teorija o karnevalskom i maskaradnom u
umetnosti i kulturi, na osnovu ĉega se grade metateori...jska tumaĉenja o efikasnosti i efektnosti
prakse teorijske aproprijacije. Odnos izmeĊu umetnosti i karnevala/maskarade posmatra se kao
problem od znaĉaja za proces aproprijacije, s obzirom na to da su umetniĉko prisvajanje
karnevalskih i maskaradnih hronotopa i poetiĉki principi karnevalizacije i maskaradne
reprezentacije jedna od „faza” konstituisanja ovdašnje metateorije. Sâmi karneval i maskarada
posmatraju se s jedne strane kao specifiĉne umetniĉke (knjiţevno-muziĉko-scenske) forme, a s
druge strane kao forme koje su svojevrsna idejna izvorišta pojedinih umetniĉkih ostvarenja ili
ţanrova. Pored spomenutog, a u kontekstu izgradnje nauĉnih diskursa u kojima dolazi do
prisvajanja pojmova karnevala i maskarade (i drugih, njima srodnih kategorija), tumaĉe se
promene smislova samih apropriranih elemenata: od karnevala i maskarade kao meĊusobno
bliskih fenomena (utemeljenih u arhetipskim „kulturalnim stanjima” igre i smeha i zajedno
manifestovanih u javnim svetkovinama), preko njihovog „razdvajanja” u teorijskim diskursima
(kroz prisvajanje pojma karnevala za potrebe teorije knjiţevnosti, preciznije teorije romana, i
prisvajanje pojma maskarade za potrebe teoretizacije rodne, preteţno ţenske identifikacije u
feminizmima i teorijskoj psihoanalizi), do njihovih mogućih (i retko ostvarenih) ponovnih povezivanja u diskursima u kojima bi takva povezivanja mogla da budu svrsishodna.
The study reflects on various problems and perspectives of theoretical appropriation as a
distinctive practice, presented here on a case of appropriation of carnival and masquerade. This
essentially metatheoretical endeavour relies on a hybrid, interdisciplinary platform of scholarly
methods, mostly typical for humanities, where historical, cultural, artistic and theoretical forms
of carnival and masquerade have been mapped. The notion of theoretical appropriation of
carnival and masquerade stands for a perplexed process, in which two principal perceptions of
carnival and masquerade are being employed: one that views them as real, socio-historical
phenomena (happenings and institutions), and one that views them as distinctive explanatory
concepts. Both these perceptions are taken into account in this effort to discover possible
efficacies and efficiencies of theoretical appropriation, as imprinted in the theories of carnival
and masquerade. The relationship between arts and c...arnival/masquerade is of high importance in
this respect, considering that theoretical appropriation relies to a large degree on defining artistic
appropriations of carnivalesque and masquerade chronotopes, as well as carnivalization and
masquerade representation as poetical principles. Carnivals and masquerades are taken on the
one hand as specific artistic (literary-musical-theatrical) forms, and on the other hand as a sort of
ideal sources for some artworks or genres of expression. In addition to aforementioned and also
in the context of discoursive practices in which carnival/masquerade or other similar categories
are being appropriated, this study seeks to mark the differences in the meanings of appropriated
elements: from carnival and masquerade as close, almost synonymous concepts (grounded in
archetypal „cultural states” of play and laughter, and manifested in public festivities), to their
„separation” in theoretical discourses (where „carnivalesque” is used in literary theory, more
precisely in the theory of novel, and „masquerade” is used in feminisms and theoretical
psychoanalysis), and their possible (but rarely conducted) „re-unification” in discourses in which such integrations could prove to be useful.
