In memoriam: Mirjana Miočinović (1935–2025)

The class that continues

When the blockades started, I contacted the professor. I wanted to see her. She was already very weak and sick. We kept postponing the meeting and in the end we didn't see each other. I am very sorry for that, because I wanted to ask myself and her an important question: if in 1991 we all stood and showed civil disobedience, would 34 years later the faculties have to be blocked as they are now?

The departure of the most significant personality of the 21st century

The supreme head of the Catholic Church tried to maintain a balance between leadership and service (believing that true leadership is service), between liberal and conservative currents, between fidelity to church teaching and fidelity to man who suffers and searches. Hence, it is certain that he was crucified, which means that he fulfilled the essence of the Christian life

Ljubomir Simović (1935-2025): The poet who did not want to be silent

Academician Ljubomir Simović, one of the greatest modern Serbian poets and playwrights, a man who did not want to remain mute to the reality in which he lived, has passed away. "In the 2014s, the bar 'Šargan' was an island of the rejected on the outskirts of Belgrade, and today the whole of Serbia has become a bar 'Šargan'. A bar full of humiliated people without perspective and hope," Simović told "Vreme" in XNUMX.

A man in dark times

If one should single out the qualities that adorned him and for which I will remember him, then they are authentic intellectual openness and curiosity, which, as a rule, begins to evaporate in most people over time, and which did not leave Filipa until the last hour.

The fifth corner of a square room

A lot could be said about Filip David as a writer of Serbian literature from its most creative post-war era, but little has been said - wrote Branko Kukić at the beginning of the introductory text of the two-issue edition of "Gradac" magazine, which is dedicated to Filip David.
It contains a fragment of David's opus, such as Sketches for a dream story, A well in a dark forest, One night in Warsaw, No man's land, plays One day, my Jamel, scenario Worlds in chaos, his correspondence with Mirko Kovač and Borislav Pekić, as well as the text that Filip David spoke at the National Library of Serbia at the award ceremony for the Best Book in the Network of Public Libraries for the novel House of memory and oblivion, a text that began with a fence from the presence of Tomislav Nikolić, the then president of Serbia. "Respecting the institution of the president, I have not supported his nationalist and war policy since the 90s. He has no place here and on this occasion," said David in front of the guests.
The double issue also contains texts about him by admirers of Filip David. One of those, a text by Svetislav Basara Princ "Photogallery”, we announce.
At the end of the introductory text entitled Filip David - Everything is on fire, Kukić says that it was not his intention to publish all the important texts written about Filip David, but to say more "about a special atmosphere and temperature that bring a special current, presented in a special way, because each literary epoch has special creators who look at the world, internal and external, from a special angle - the fifth - in a square room. This fifth angle simultaneously demolishes the old house and creates a new one".

Teofilo's imaginary homeland

I told him, at that time in "Imperial", that for a long time I thought that Teofil Pančić was a pseudonym. This morning, the first dawn without Teofilo, it seems to me that it would actually be better if it were possible to live without the body, only in books and in theater performances, in films and comics, with Olja and among friends, in newspaper articles, because only some gloomy and sad problems were encountered with the body. The body was suffering from what was happening around it

Five years without Žaret

These days, more precisely, on February 5, five years have passed since the death of our founder and editor-in-chief, Dragoljub Žarković. Žare led "Vreme" through the most difficult moments, not only for the editorial office, but also for the entire society, from the XNUMXth of March, through Vučić's law on information, censorship during the bombing, the XNUMXth of October, and even through this period, which, we hope, is coming to an end

The king of the bizarre had to move on...

Lynch was a man of ideas and impulses, above all the creative one, a light that unfailingly tends towards darkness as its true measure and true value, and flattering terms such as the one with which the media were often able to adorn him are still not enough to express his importance and unusualness
