Understanding modernity seems to be inflected in the narrative conditions of Hamlet: Hamlet may be to modernity what the story of Oedipus is to psychoanalysis, a specimen story in which the intellectual constitution of modernity is decided. In this essay I analyze how industrial modernity finds its articulation in Hamlet, especially in the positions where Hamlet is claimed for realism; realism is taken to mean not a poetics so much as an apparatus instrumental to negotiating the modern condition in the nineteenth century. With a focus on John Everett Millais’s Ophelia (1851–2), I discuss how Ophelia replaces Hamlet as a figure where realism is negotiated in Victorian modernity, also as a figure where modern psychopolitics, with its investment in mourning, finds its foothold in the world of the Industrial Revolution. Lastly, I argue that Ophelia may be where the unresolved narrative conditions of Antigone are retained in Hamlet, along with the political concerns implicit to Antigone’s mourning.

Projekt Bulwark of Europe – Digitizing the Habsburg-Ottoman Frontier bavi se proučavanjem najranije faze razvoja Hrvatsko-slavonske vojne krajine u 16. stoljeću. Projekt je orijentiran prema digitalizaciji i vizualizaciji povijesnog materijala kako bi se prošlost prezentirala na što interaktivniji način u današnjoj eri interneta. U sklopu projekta napravljena je web-stranica na kojoj se prezentiraju različiti problemsko-pregledni eseji vojnokrajiške tematike, karte, interaktivni grafički prikazi te 3D modeli krajiških utvrda. Navedene materijale mogu koristiti svi uzrasti, a nadamo se da će pronaći svoje mjesto i u obrazovnom sustavu, pogotovo u svjetlu nedavnog okretanja digitalnoj nastavi. Na stranici se sistematiziraju različiti kartografski i pisani izvori te donosi pregled najrelevantnije znanstvene literature. Kako bi prezentacija bila odrađena profesionalno, članovi projekta bave se u arhivskim radom na krajiškim izvorima: transkribirali su, obradili i javnosti predstavili do danas najraniji cjeloviti sačuvani popis za prostor Slavonske vojne krajine. U kratkom roku projekt je uspio prezentirati često zaboravljani dio hrvatske povijesti javnosti, a u planu je održavanje nekoliko izložbi, ali i daljnji rad na arhivskoj građi kako bi se proširile spoznaje. Nadamo se da će naš projekt potaknuti i druge studente, naročito kolege srodnih humanističko-društvenih disciplina, da se okrenu novim načinima prezentacije znanstvenih spoznaja, jer za takve oblike izražaja u današnjem svijetu očito postoji veliki interes. Bulwark of Europe– Digitizing the Habsburg-Ottoman Frontier is a project studying the early history of the Croatian and Slavonian Military Frontiers. The main objective of the project is to present the past in an interactive way, hence its orientation to digitization and visualization of historical sources. The project hosts a website presenting various topics in military history in the form of essays, maps, interactive images, and 3D models. The materials are accessible and can be used by all age groups. We therefore hope that they will prove useful in the teaching of history, especially in light of recent developments in e-learning. The website systematizes various cartographic and written sources and features an overview of relevant research. The project team members have been working extensively on archival sources: we have transcribed, analyzed, and presented to wider audiences what is believed to be the earliest fully preserved military payroll pertaining to the Slavonian Military Frontier. In a short span of time the project has successfully presented an oftentimes neglected segment of Croatian history. We are actively working on organizing a number of exhibitions and will continue working on archival sources with the aim of expanding our knowledge. We hope to encourage fellow students, especially those studying for a degree in the humanities and social sciences, to turn to new approaches in presenting research results.

This article discusses the status of Toni Morrison as an American writer who consistently foregrounded African American history and experience and acted during her long career as a public intellectual. Morrison’s writerly agenda has been to delve into the epistemological origin of constructions such as race and blackness, placed in the context of their historical manifestation, such as transatlantic slavery as manifested in Morrison’s two most striking historical novels, Beloved (1987) and A Mercy (2008). Writing slavery, as a way to re-write the United States’ history and probe its dark spaces, places Morrison’s texts in a long line of nineteenth-century slave narratives, and in particular their twentieth-century avatar, the neo-slave novel, which strives to historicize slavery from the sufferer’s perspective. In the process, Morrison creates a “resistant text” (Sommer) requiring the reader’s imaginative and ethical engagement and refusing to fill in all the gaps. That the haunting of slavery still requires imaginative, historical, and ethical engagement, like the one accorded it by Morrison, is a fact of U.S. American social life to the present day.
