Author(s): Anżeła Mielnikawa / Language(s): Belarusian Issue: 7/2015

The author of the article analyzes the ways of description of the reality of the 1930s and the process of collectivization, which are reflected in works of Belarusian writers of the period.

Вобраз ваўка і мастацкая рэалізацыія канцэпту раю ўрамане Алеся Наварыіча „Літоўскі воўк’’

Author(s): Dzmitry Kliabanau / Language(s): Belarusian Issue: 1/2016

Aleś Navaryc’s historical novel “The Lithuanian Wolf” continued to pursue the traditions established by Uladzimir Karatkievic. The main subject of the story is the picture of the Belarusian society in the second half of the XIX century on the eve of the Kastuś Kalinouski’s uprising. “The Lithuanian wolf” is characterized by a specific hypertext and allusiveness. The title of the novel contains a clear allusion to the historical and cultural tradition of the use of the name “Lithuania” in relation to the Belarusian territory which was the core of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as well as a reference to the image of the wolf and werewolf, well-known since pagan times. The image of the wolf in the Navaryc’s novel is ambivalent, and the reason of this ambivalence is a parallel existence of two systems of the perception of the world in the Belarusian culture, resulting in the blend of a special folk sacralization of nature and culture as a divine creation. The image of paradise has an interesting and specific interpretation in the novel. The appearance of forest robbers-werewolves becomes the introduction to the paradisiacal motif. In the context of the conceptualization of paradise in this novel, on one hand, the influence of the apocryphal tradition and an allusion to the biblical texts should be noted. On the other hand, there is a clear correlation with the concept of the homeland as a lost paradise and the necessity of sacrifice for its future and independence.

Twarze i maski. O prawdzie (w) poezji (na przykładzie twórczości Jana Czykwina)

Author(s): Beata Siwek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 7/2016

In the article, the problem of truth in poetic works of Jan Czykwin has been taken into consideration. The adopted research perspective refers self-evidently to philosophical concept of Jozef Tischner presented in work titled The Philosophy of Drama. Philosophical inspirations taken from phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics and dialogues are crucial to understanding the phenomenon of man. Philosophical anthropology suggested in this book assumes that man is a dramatic being, whose tragedy takes place in space of good and evil. The character of Jan Czykwin’s poems is a man seeking to decode the mystery of life, to find spiritual firstfruits hidden in matter and being a cause of everything that is discernible by the senses. He is trying to reach to the mystery of transgression, to observe the time of the transition from life to death.

Топас маскi ў драматургiчнай спадчыне Кандрата Крапiвы

Author(s): Tamara Tarasowa / Language(s): Belarusian Issue: 8/2016

The mask motif which became a significant element of the 20th century culture is not only an important indicator of paradigmatic change, but also a subject of reflection. Artists of different national and cultural backgrounds often use the image of the mask in various genre forms. Masquerade theme is associated with deception, reincarnation, the problems of the real and unreal, the loss of identity.

For example, Kondrat Krapiva’s plays “Who Laughs Last,” “My Dear Fellow,” “The Gate of Immortality” use the mask motif, the masquerade theme as a complex of cultural phenomena of national literature.
