application/pdf 52894 bytes Sažetak: Ovaj rad kroz istraživanje kritičara Majkl Vornera govori o spajanju i međusobnom uticaju književnosti i društva, kao i razvoju republikanske kulture kroz razvoj štampe. U Pismima rane republike (The Letters of the Early Republic), Vorner govori o društveno i kulturološki ograničenoj javnoj sferi, u čijem uglavnom štampanom diskursu učestvuju i deo su pojedinci. Ovakav njegov stav predstavlja značajnu pomoć u poimanju prirode i ograničenja republikanizma. Amerika je postala nacija razvojem nove vrste čitalačke javnosti, čiji deo se postaje samo kroz aktivno učešće: kao pisac, ili kao čitalac. On dalje tvrdi da su SAD-e nacija koja je nastala zahvaljujući štamparskoj presi, te da se se njeni počeci vezuju za promene koje su deo kulture štampanja i objavljivanja u XVIII veku. Upravo je ta nova upotreba štampe i štamparske tehnologije, ali i razvoj pismenosti u Evropi između perioda renesanse i XVIII veka, dovela do značajnih promena u kulturi i politici. Vorner naglašava i izuzetan značaj štampe u periodu revolucije, koji je u velikoj meri uticao na otpor koji su Amerikanci pružili Britancima i uspeo da u potpunosti opredeli ljude za nezavisnost. Abstract: Relying on Michael Warner’s capable research, the article considers the merging and interaction of literature and society, as well as the development of republican culture through the rise of the press. InThe Letters of the Republic: Publication and the Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century America, Warner speaks about a socially and culturally limited public sphere, yet such that allows for the participation of individuals with their printed discourse. This attitude is a significant help in understanding the nature and constraints of republicanism. America became a nation through the development of a new kind of reading public, which required one’s active participation either as a writer or as a reader. Warner further claims that the printing press largely contributed to the emergence of the United States as a nation, whose beginnings are related to the changes that were part of a printing and publishing culture in the 18th century. This new use of printing and printing technology and the development of literacy in Europe from the Renaissance to the 18th century led to significant changes in culture and politics. Warner also emphasizes the extraordinary importance of the press during the period of Revolution which largely influenced the resistance the Americans mounted against the British and which succeeded in fully conditioning people for independence Janjatović, Violeta info:eu-repo/semantics/review All rights reserved Ključne reči: štampa, književnost, društvo, tekst, kontekst, kultura, politika, republikanizam https://hrcak.srce.hr/212194 Michael Warner: razvoj američke književnosti i republikanske političke kilture putem razvoja tiska Michael Warner: development of American letters and republican political culture through the rise of the press Književna smotra 189(3) https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:29573 ISSN: 0455-0463 srp 2018
