The text presents the main trends in Bulgarian literary development from the 1990s to the present day through the highlights of the lyrical boom of the 1990s and the novel wave since 2001 on. Some lines of continuity are outlined, tracing back to the 1960s (regarding the literary experiment and dissident attitude), and the period before 1944 (the adoption/challenge of the modernist tradition in the 1990s). A separate research topic is the fi xation of the critical interest on certain writers’ personalities.
А variety of perspectives for the in-depth study and systematization of trainings within the framework of the Active Labor Market Policy (ALMP) are presented, including formal and non-formal trainings, emphasizing their role as a component in the leading progress indicator in the implementation of the National Strategy for Lifelong Learning (NSLLL) 2014-2020 – “the participation of the population aged 25-64 in education and training”. Proposals for improving the methodical approach for systematizing the formal and non-formal trainings conducted within the framework of the ALMP were formulated as a basis for improving the methodological approach of the reporting system of the Annual Review of the Employment Agency and the Annual Report on the Implementation of the National Strategy for Life Long Learning 2014-2020. This creates a prerequisite for improving the links and interaction between the institutions involved in the ALMP and for ensuring the synergy of their efforts and activities.
The approach of this text is a comparative reading of particular thematic and ideological similarities and differences between two emblematic Bulgarian poets: Hristo Botev (1848–1876) and Pencho Slaveykov (1866–1912). As they are also representative figures of two significant cultural periods – the National Revival (in its Romantic appearances) and Modernism – the current study develops wider analytical parallels. A number of Friedrich Nietzsche’s concepts and conceptions are selected as a basis for these comparisons. Although Botev did not have direct access to Nietzsche’s works, while Slaveykov, by contrast, was the first active and committed supporter of the German philosopher in Bulgaria, Botev’s views are often surprisingly close to Nietzsche’s, while Slaveykov sounds at times more like a cultural missionary than an organic continuator. Thus, while in the course of the study hidden dialogues and invisible motifs — especially in Slaveykov’s cultural argument with Botev — were revealed, valid starting points were also unearthed for new interpretations of this well-researched literary period. Such points include the romantic characteristics of the Bulgarian National Revival, the connections between the Revival and Modernism, based on the “Romantic common ground” in both movements, and intentions regarding the assertion and/or construction of a native genealogy of Bulgarian Modernism.
