Plorantis Croatiae saecula duo (1703) by Pavao Ritter Vitezovic
(1652-1713) and Vita Petri Berislavi (1620) by Ivan Tomko Mrnavic (1580-1637), two significant works in the Croatian literary
corpus written in Latin that deal with important historical characters and events from Croatian history with the explicit intent of preserving them from oblivion, have unjustifiably been
omitted from the national literary canon. Following recent scholarly interest in these works in the last fifteen years or so, this
paper reinvestigates and confirms intertextual references, with
special emphasis on Vitezovic's relation to Mrnavic. The article
focuses on determining traces and re-stylizations of parts of the
Vita in around sixty lines of verse from the first canto of the
Two Centuries of Croatia in Mourning, which are shown to be a
complete episode, paradigmatic in its ideological concept for the
whole poetic work.
Keywords: re-stylization; Vitezovic; Mrnavic; contraction, versification, expansion

This essay explores the fractal narrative structure of the popular video game ''Assassin's Creed'' (2008). It theorizes a mode of fractal analysis of narration. It explores the existence of a political dimension to fractal aesthetics in ''Assassin's Creed'' in particular, which it claims is alert to important biopolitical insights concerning the situation of contemporary digital power. Drawing from Timothy Morton's analysis of hyperobjects, it argues that fractals pertain to vital contemporary political questions. Analysing Steven Shaviro's concept of modulation, the essay finds fractal analysis to be alert to contemporary questions of digital biopolitics. The essay claims that the fractal narrative structure of ''Assassin's Creed'' constitutes an innovative recognition of the biopolitics of video game playing.
