Kviečiame į susitikimą su Ilinojaus Universiteto profesoriumi, kalbininku Giedriumi Subačiumi, kuris neseniai išleido įspūdingo dydžio veikalą „Simono Daukanto Sankt Peterburgo ortografija (1834-1846)“. Susitikime galima bus sužinoti daugiau apie Daukanto gyvenimą ir jo darbus. Daukanto asmenybė, veikla ir svarba mūsų istorijai vis dar nėra plačiai žinoma.
Taigi, ką mes apie Daukantą žinome, ko nežinome ir ko, gal būt, niekada nesužinosime. Profesorius Subačius – tikras Daukanto ekspertas, apie šią asmenybę rašęs dar savo disertacijoje, o pastaruoju metu prie jos sugrįžęs ir išleidęs jau dvi monografijas apie Daukanto rašybą. Jis papasakos apie tai, ką Daukantas veikė Sankt Peterburge. Pavyzdžiui, ar žinote, kad ten jis susipažino su Valančiumi kartu darbavosi petys iš peties, net susikūrė savą „Žemaičių akademiją“? Ar lengva ir ar pigu buvo tuo metu leisti knygas? Ar žinote, kad Daukantas Sankt Peterburge išspausdino net 13 lietuviškų knygų ir ne visi spaustuvininkai tesuprato lietuviškus Daukanto tekstus? Kokie nauji metodai šiandien taikomi norint sužinoti rankraščių rašymo laiką? Ką apskritai mums gali pasakyti rašyba? Ar žinote, kad stabili Daukanto rašyba susijusi su jo dvasiniu pakilimu, o rašybos padrikumas dažnai lemtas nusiminimo, harmonijos trūkumo ir ligų?
Apie visa tai ir daugiau – susitikime su prof. Giedriumi Subačiumi balandžio 15 dieną, šeštadienį, 2 val. popietų Balzeko lietuvių kultūros muziejuje Čikagoje, 6500 S. Pulaski Rd.
Simonas Daukantas (1793-1864)
TRANSLATION: We invite you to a presentation by linguist, author, and University of Illinois professor Dr. Giedrius Subačius, who has recently published an impressively sized work entitled “Simon Daukantas’ St Petersburg Orthography (1834-1846)”. The meeting will provide an opportunity to learn more about the 19th Century Lithuanian author Simonas Daukantas’ life and works. Daukantas’ personality, activities and importance to our history are still not widely known.
What is known or not known about Daukantas, and what we may never know of him will be explored. Professor Subačius is a true expert on Daukantas, having written about him in his dissertation, and more recently he has returned to the subject and published two monographs on Daukantas’ writing. He will talk about what Daukantas did in St Petersburg. For example, did you know that there he met Valančius, worked side by side, and even created his own “Samogitian Academy”? Was it easy and cheap to publish books at that time? Do you know that Daukantas published 13 Lithuanian books in St Petersburg and not all printers understood Daukantas’ Lithuanian texts? What new methods are used today to find out when manuscripts were written? What can spelling tell us in general? Do you know that Daukantas’ stable spelling is linked to his spiritual upliftment, and that the irregularity of his spelling is often the result of despondency, lack of harmony and illness?
All this and more will be revealed at Prof. Giedrius Subačius presentation on Saturday, April 15 at 2 p.m. at the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture, 6500 S. Pulaski Rd., Chicago IL 60629 and on Zoom. Parking is available along Pulaski Rd., behind the Museum building, and on surrounding neighborhood streets.
