This paper investigates the symbolic and political identity of Belgrade and Sarajevo in Andrić's novel The Woman from Sarajevo. By combining the theoretical assumptions of cognitive narratology with the concepts of narrative/cultural/symbolic geography and culture of memory, odonyms (street names) and commemorative names of various cultural/state institutions in The Woman from Sarajevo have been interpreted. We established that odonyms (Njegoševa, Smiljanićeva, Stiška and Aleksandrova) functioned as the narrative means of political representation and various national ideologies of the past, which has opened up possibilities for defining Andrić's The Woman from Sarajevo as a political novel. The modern spirit of Andrić's narrator has problematized Rajka's attitude towards the grave/death in Sarajevo. Striving only to restore her father's wealth, to regain the lost family property, Rajka believed in the renewal of individual life through the mediation of descendants. Rajka Radaković's consciousness manifested the process of dememorization, the disappearance of symbolic signifiers from Belgrade's space. Thus, the heroine of Andrić's novel unconsciously became the bearer of the politics of a new identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multimodality in teaching is gaining more attention in contemporary research and scientific literature. It is a special communication that relies on modes, such as pictures, graphs, audio, videos, maps, etc. which by combination create certain meanings in order for the modes to be adequately combined, multimodal literacy is necessary. The aforementioned literacy in teaching helps students to create multimodal texts and tasks in a digital environment. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine how first and second-year students of Hispanic Studies at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade manage in a digital environment working on a multimodal task, as well as how they use digital tools and the Spanish language. Student presentations were exhibited and recorded via the Zoom platform, and data were collected through the observations of the researcher. Also, the research method used for research purposes is the analysis of authentic teaching materials. First-year students presented a topic about health in Spanish via the Moodle platform, while second-year students presented and created their own virtual tour in Spanish using the Padlet platform. For the analysis of multimodal activities, the criterion related to the use of modes and the creation of multimodal texts was used. The results of the analysis showed that most students were successful in creating multimodal activities, that they used mods in a creative way and that in this case it was possible to implement this type of activity because the students of this faculty and the study program are adapted to frequent application of new technologies on assignments using the Spanish language.

In the last few decades the consumption of luxury goods in the Ottoman Empire has become a very attractive topic for the researchers and subject of many studies. The paper addresses the aforementioned topic and presents the items which belonged to a high Ottoman dignitary stationed in Belgrade as a paradigm of wealth, luxury and life-style of the high Ottoman society. The Belgrade muhafiz Izzet Mehmet Pasha (1723-1784) served twice in the capacity of Grand Vezier in the Ottoman Empire (1774-1775, 1781-1782) and as a governor of the Belgrade fortress (1783-84), where he eventually died. The paper focuses on the luxurious items belonging to him personally and to his household while he was governing Belgrade. Two inheritance registries -- kept in the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister's Office in Istanbul -- were used for the purpose of analysis. The belongings found at his Belgrade household when he died included pieces of jewellery, clothes, fur, weapons made of precious metals decorated with gems and other items. Most of the items were brought by Izzet Mehmet Pasha to Belgrade when he was appointed to the duty, but it can be assumed that they were mostly purchased in the Balkans, taking into consideration that his previous post was in Plovdiv. There were also items brought from the Western Europe, such as clocks, indicating aspects of economic and cultural relations between East and West and international trade routes passing through Belgrade. Consumption of the valuable and rare items as status symbols reflects the political power of the higher Ottoman class of Belgrade and social differentiation among the Ottomans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
