Символът като средство за реализация на интердисциплинарен подход в обучението по музика и български език и литература в начален образователен етап

Author(s): Penka Marcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2022

The possibilities of symbols as means of implementing an interdisciplinary approach in teaching music and literature in primary education is the topic examined in this publication. This is a topic that is developed relatively rarely in pedagogical literature. In the theoretical aspects of this publication, the main parameters of the interdisciplinary approach, applicable to the education of students in 1st – 4th grades, which can be realized through literary and musical symbolism, are examined. Arguments supporting statements regarding the essence of symbols and the possibility of them functioning as denotation for one of the criteria for the manifestation and functioning of linguistic and musical intelligence, included in H. Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, are brought forth. The focus is on the essence of the two types of symbols – literary and musical as means of forming and developing the respective types of intelligence. The publication also examines some practical and applied aspects, the main emphasis being fairy tales as a literary genre and program music, which are rich in symbolism. Specific approaches to pedagogical interaction are listed such as “building musical characterization of a literary symbol”, “making sense of a specific musical work with the help of literary symbols”, “using literary symbols to realize musical content”. In this way, it is proven that they are a real basis for the implementation of an interdisciplinary educational approach in the education of primary school students.

Приложение на проектно базираното обучение в уроците по литература (I – IV клас)

Author(s): Zlatina Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2022

Children of the XXI century communicate globally and have unlimited access to information resources. But often this abundance of information does not lead to systematic knowledge, which indicates that children must learn to absorb it properly. The article examines the possibilities of applying project-based learning in literature lessons in the primary educational stage. This innovative method offers a new type of pedagogical interaction regarding the learning content of the subject, related to achieving the necessary basic level of native language communication in the 1st – 4th grade stage. Project-based learning is also applicable in the context of building literary competences by working with a literary text, which is a major part of the formation of language literacy and is associated with students' skills to recognize, understand and interpret the specific information it carries.

The Rhetoric of the Kremlin or the Propaganda Discourse in the Context of the War in Ukraine

Author(s): Mariana Bafana / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The content analysis of Putin's speeches, in the present work, aims to identify the propaganda techniques through which the Kremlin's rhetoric tries to justify the war in Ukraine, which broke out on February 24, 2022. Russia's military attack in Ukraine follows the trajectory of the March 18, 2014, annexation of Crimea, only the Kremlin's discourse denies the concepts of war and annexation and replaces them with the term "special military operation"2, liberation from NATO's eastward military expansion or accession to Russia, including all forms of Western military threat to the Soviet East, as evidenced by the Kremlin's propaganda discourse. The Kremlin's discourse, in the context of the armed operations in Ukraine, has a symbolic capital through which it imposes its own perspective, because no symbolic power can exist without a symbolism of power (Bourdieu 112). It is about the discourse of power, constructed through symbolic resources, intended to be disseminated so that the Kremlin's conative force is even more strongly activated among Russian citizens. On the other hand, pragmatically, such a construction is also a message of the Kremlin's authority to Western countries.

Central European Literary Reconceptualization of Historical Memory: The Case of Ingeborg Bachmann’s Novels

Author(s): Basia Nikiforova / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2022

The case of Central European memory and nostalgia is a key to the understanding of spiritual and artistic life in the 20th century. Special features of Central European spiritual life and narration are the feelings of nostalgia, innumerable flashbacks in time, cosmopolitism, and strong regional identity at the same time. Central Europe is the space of distinctive and specific tolerance. The figure of Ingeborg Bachmann is symbolic since it embodies the connection between the two fundamental cultural processes of the twentieth century: philosophy and literature. The article examines Ingeborg Bachmann’s literary interpretations of Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language and responses to this philosophical and geopolitical challenge. Borders of Habsburg Empire are symbols of cross-border identities and culture. The author offers to look at the Central European literary nostalgia as a possibility to situate Central European culture and spirituality geographically and territorially. Ingeborg Bachmann created her own borders: the linguistic border, border of gender, time, territory, and philosophical thinking.

TIMPUL VERBAL. RELAȚIA TIMP-ASPECT

Author(s): Eudochia Sevciuc-Volontir / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2023

An essential problem with which a good number of linguists have confronted themselves over time is that of giving an accurate picture of aspect. The aspect category varies from language to language.Understanding aspect in all its manifestations is important to our work which seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of the various verbal systems we address.Some aspects are systematic in some languages. It is in the comparison of languagesthat we manage to identify the most subtle verbal aspects and to see them in their true light. Our main comparison concerns French and Romanian. We can say that the classification of verbs in simple and compound tenses in French has a similar figuration with Romanian.

Začiatky prímasa Alexandra Rudnaya

Author(s): Gábor Vaderna / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2023

When Alexander Rudnay (1760-1831) was installed as Primate, which is the highest position of Catholic Church in the Hungarian Kingdom, in 1820, he faced several challenges. First, he had to balance between the Habsburg Court and the Vatican, and between the Court and the Hungarian-Slovak noble estates. Second, the Catholic Church was in crisis at the beginning of the 19th century as the high clergy felt a moral deterioration. This paper presents the poetical representation of the installation ceremony, which was held in May 1820. More than a hundred poems were born in several languages (Latin, Hungarian, German, Slovak, and French) by numerous kinds of authors (such as clerics, nobles, students or simple citizens). Of course, in these poetic laudations the authors all praised the excellence and virtue of Rudnay, but they also tried to articulate what their wishes were, what expectations they had, what they thought about their political chances, and how an archbishop should support a political cause at the Court. In this sense, the poetry that was born for this occasion was a specific tool of political communication by which their opinions and desires could be express.

Художествената литература и психоанализата

Author(s): Lubomir Roussev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 12/2022

The article starts with the observation that Sigmund Freud’s teaching is based on the experience gained in the treatment in psychiatric clinics but has become a comprehensive theory seeking to explain the secret manifestations of the spirit. For the first time it has shed light on a series of mysterious mental facts and has made it possible to penetrate into the depths of the unconscious. Psychoanalysis has an experimental basis and is a precise psychological method. It helps establish the spiritual structure composed of the conscious and unconscious and the preconscious in between. Psychic life is governed by two basic principles – pleasure and reality. Artistic creativity largely reflects the struggle between reality and drives as well as its consequences in the unconscious. The reason for psychoanalyzing artistic works as well as the poet's soul, is the fact that aesthetically valuable works are created almost unconsciously. The motives of the work and the poet's characters manifest his inclinations in a disguised form. Therefore the psychoanalysis of a specific work includes not only the analysis of it alone, but also of its author at definite periods of his development. Special attention among the unconscious human complexes has been given to the Oedipus complex which has inspired many authors. His influence on the work of several Bulgarian poets has been analyzed including Hristo Botev, Ivan Vazov, Pencho Slaveykov, Dimcho Debelyanov and Peyo Yavorov

КНИЖЕВЕН ДИЈАЛОГ И ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЈА НА МОТИВОТ ЗА НЕПОСЛУШНИОТ СИН, ВО ПРИКАЗНАТА СИЛЈАН ШТРКОТ ОД МАРКО ЦЕПЕНКОВ И ДРАМСКИОТ ТЕКСТ СИЛЈАН ШТРКОТ ШАНЦА ОД ДЕЈАН ДУКОВСКИ

Author(s): Stevo Pavlovski / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 83/2023

The subject of this research is the folklore material that is set in traditional art, thought, knowledge and practice, and which has its place in postmodern drama. This opens the opportunity for new interpretations of folklore traditions that allow encoding and decoding of said folklore material. Through the method of analytical and comparative research, the paper shows how far the folklore motive from the story “Siljan the Stork” is being transformed and adapted in the literary drama “Siljan the Stork Chance” by Dejan Dukovski. In this way, the aim of the paper was, through the clash between “literary”, “modern”, “folklore” and “myth”, to interpret the processes of coding, decoding and transformation of folklore models in contemporary drama.

INFRAPOLITICS AT THE END OF AESTH-ETHICS: ON ALBERTO MOREIRAS’ RECENT WORK

Author(s): Jaime Rodríguez Matos / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

In this paper I will offer a reading of Alberto Moreiras’ recently published books, but within the context of his life’s work as a whole: which I will consider from the point of view of a questioning of the idea of the time/history difference. After briefly tracing that overarching concern in his early work, I move to a consideration of a move away from Hegelianism in the more recent publications. This non-Hegelianism is not simply an anti-Hegelian stance. Understanding the difference will take us into the true dimension of infrapolitics. This aspect of Moreiras’ contribution to contemporary debates will be illustrated by way of his paradoxical and unrecognizable Antigone.

Vzkaz v láhvi: Paul Celan a Martin Heidegger

Author(s): Ivan Blecha / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2023

The article deals with the problematic relationship between Paul Celan and Martin Heidegger. The two knew and respected each other intellectually, but the obstacle in their relationship was Heidegger’s involvement in the Nazi movement, which was unacceptable to Celan as a direct witness to the Holocaust. The main difference between them was in their view of the role of language: Heidegger wanted to use ‘poetic’ thought to overcome the crisis of metaphysics and reformulate the question of being, while Celan to give a voice to all the martyred. Though Celan never succeeded in getting Heidegger to apologize in any way for his involvement with the Nazis, his moral superiority – both in his thought world and during their mutual encounters – is obvious.

Slovo o pluku Igorově v perspektivě výpůjček orientálního původu

Author(s): Václav Blažek / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2023

The present contribution discusses the question of originality of the text The Tale of Igor’s Campaign [Slovo o polku Igorevě] from the point of view of its lexemes, both appellatives and proper names, which can be of oriental origin. The etymological analysis supported by modern lexicographic literature confirms the originality of proposed Orientalisms, especially in confrontation with the assumed Bohemisms and Hebraisms by Edward Keenan.

Історико-мовознавча школа Київського національного університету: постаті, напрями, періоди

Author(s): Galina Naenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1/2023

In the article, the author offers a periodisation of diachronic linguistic studies at the University of Kyiv. According to the author, the development of the Kyiv school of historical linguistics falls into four periods. During the first period, represented by Mykhailo Maksymovych, Oleksiy Sobolevsky, Volodymyr Peretz, two opposite approaches, toward the origins of the Ukrainian language, based on the colonial (Imperial) and the national ethno-political concepts, emerged. The comparative-historical method came to be prevailing, with positivism at its gnoseological foundation. Problems discussed in the studies of the Kyiv school demonstrated a wide array of attitudes, common European scholarly trends, and theoretical depth. The second period, marked by a struggle for Ukrainian independence and the policy of Ukrainization, was premised on neogrammarian ideas, ethnographic purism, and structuralism. The most prominent representatives of this period were Ivan Ohienko, Ahatanhel Krymsky, Vasyl Demyanchuk, and Vsevolod Hantsov. The end of the second period coincided with the purge of Ukrainian intelligentsia in 1937. During the third period, study of the history of Ukrainian was conducted within the framework of Soviet historiography. The formation of separate East Slavic languages was postponed until the 14th century, while study of historical records and publication of theoretical works became a priority in the agenda of the academicians Leonid Bulakhovsky and Ivan Bilodid. Didactic works on the history of standard Ukrainian, authored by Petro Tymoshenko and Pavlo Plyushch, as well as rare dissertations were based on structural and functional methods. After 1992, problems of the history of the Ukrainian language were projected onto a cognitive discourse paradigm. Reconstruction, based on the material of historical records, furthered the understanding of language mentality, modus, and fragments of scientific discourse. The growth of didactic works took place in the conditions of the state’s self-determination, when the responsibility for historical heritage strengthened the role of comparative-historical studies.
