СИМВОЛ В СМЕНЕ КУЛЬТУРНЫХ ЭПОХ

Author(s): Sergey Sharakov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2015

The interest to symbolic structures of the literary text has intensified in Russian literary studies during the last decades. Symbols have acquired many interpretations. Thus, the problem of subjectivity and arbitrary interpretation appeared. An approach is suggested in this paper that would allow defining criteria of scientific validity in symbol interpretation. Cultural and historical specificity of the symbol in the Antiquity, Middle Ages, and Modern Era is proved. Every symbolization type is analyzed from the point of its cultural and historical content, as well as categorical environment.

ОТ ПОЭТИКИ МИФА К ПРОСТРАНСТВУ ТВОРЧЕСТВА: ТУЙААРА ШАПОШНИКОВА

Author(s): Vlada Vladislavovna Timofeeva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

The artistic process is considered in the paper as one of the methods of reproduction, representation, translation, and transformation of ethnic mythological meanings and symbols, as well as their adaptation to the new conditions of multicultural existence. Tuyaara Shaposhnikova, one of the brightest representatives of contemporary fine arts of Yakutia, creates works that are characterized by the associativity and polysemy by combining the methods of the European art schools and traditional techniques of folk creativity. The works of the artist are permeated with symbols and metaphors of the national traditional culture. The modern author creates a cycle of colorful lithographs based on the plots of oral historical legends dedicated to Elley, the cultural hero and first ancestor of the Sakha people. The graphic artist is attracted to his image expressing the family power due to its symbolic potential. The myth is naturally included into the structure of engravings through the quotes of folklore plots and the expressions of cultural and historical archetypes. T. Shaposhnikova has developed her own style based on the motifs of folk art and folk traditions of the Yakuts. Her works are characterized by elegant decorativeness of the general solution related to the use of geometric ornaments, symmetrical or balanced structure of the composition, flatness, and conventionality of the picture. It is concluded that the fine art of Yakutia undergoes a material process of adaptation to the perception by other cultures, thereby overcoming the isolation and one-sidedness of folk images and motifs and revealing the semantic unity of human cultures.

Образы домашних и диких животных в польских, русских и украинских паремиях

Author(s): Nadiia Melnyk / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2016

Animalisms as the animalistic components of paremiaes play an important role in the semantic codes in Paremiology. The comparative and contrastive analysis of animalisms in the structure of Polish, Russian and Ukrainian paremiaes with the use of a biocentric approach allows us to describe the general and specific features of behaviour and characters that exist in the most widespread paremic images of wild and domestic animals. The animalistic images are typical of: the Polish, Russian and Ukrainian culture. The process of describing each category of animal which takes place in the paremiologic units supports the reconstruction of fragments of a linguistic world‑image and allows us to observe a correlation between such concepts as Animal and Human Being.

Aneksja kolektywu czy dyktat wybiórcy? Z zagadnień antologii tłumaczeń (na przykładzie nowych wyborów poezji rosyjskiej)

Author(s): Ewa Goczał / Language(s): Polish Issue: 157/2017

The article attempts to present the comparison of two translator’s achievements: Zbigniew Dmitroca’s Radio Swoboda and Jerzy Czech’s Wdrapałem się na piedestał. The anthologist’s work is considered here as both the act of translation and revelation — joining the translation of literary texts and their compilation in anthologies with scrutinizing the particular writers and literary phenomena as well as the process of translation itself, and introducing a new, transforming quality to the native poetry. A translator-anthologist can be perceived in that perspective as a link between two literary cultures, and also as an initiator of changes and an independent creator who develops, in his own language and on his own conditions, a certain new Polish canon of Russian poetry

Словоредните различия между българския и руския език – източник на синтактична интерференция

Author(s): Elena Hadjieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

The word order of Bulgarian sentence has common general principles with the other Slavic languages, but is also characterized by its specific features. Reflecting the logical criteria of thinking the word order is one of the most stable features of linguistic reality. The article discusses the reasons for the difficulty in mastering the Bulgarian word order features by foreigners – native Russianс. It is emphasized that tha unsufficient knowledge of the foreign language system on the one hand, and the intervention of native-language habit, on the other hand, are the factors that shape this interference phenomenon characterized by significant stability and consistency in the practice of language learners. The process is further complicated when learning a foreign language system is akin significant number of linguistic phenomena and categories overlap in the native and the foreign language, and regarding to the other – there are no structural equivalents. The learning of word order features of the target language is a prerequisite for building a good linguistic competence and thus follows the formation of communicative ability in learners, that is the main purpose of foreign language learning.

The Image of Maria Lekapene, Peter and the Byzantine-Bulgarian Relations between 927 and 969 in the Light of Old Russian Sources

Author(s): Zofia A. Brzozowska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

The notes on Maria Lekapene, the granddaughter of the Byzantine Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos and on her husband, Peter of Bulgaria are to be found in several medieval Russian historiographical texts: in the Russian Primary Chronicle, in the second edition of the Hellenic and Roman Chroni¬cle from the first half of the 15th century and in two related compilations of the sixteenth century, i.e. the Russian Chronograph of 1512 and the Nikon Chronicle. There is no doubt, that Old Russian authors derived information primarily from the Old Bulgarian translation of the B-edition of the Georgius Monachus Continuatus. In Old Russian texts we can find dependencies on the chronicles of John Zonaras and Constantine Manasses (known in their Slavic translation) as well as the elements taken from the medieval Bulgarian sources (glosses to the text of the chronicle of Constantine Manasses and the lives of St. John of Rila).

La lecture du folklore dans la dramaturgie moderniste bulgare et dans le théâtre symboliste européen

Author(s): Dina Mantcheva / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2017

Bulgarian Modernist drama is discussed in the context of the two most representative traditions in European Symbolist theatre – the Francophone and the Slavonic (Russian and Polish) ones – to point out its aesthetic similarities and specific originality. The analysis focuses on the principles underlying the selection and structuring of the two types of folklore plots (fairy tales and legends), used on all stages where idealistic plays have been produced. The study charts out the similar interpretations of the popular basis and its structural importance in all modes of writings. However, the national and social connotations in Bulgarian theatre, inspired by its own cultural context, differ from the Francophone metaphysical forms and mark out its relationship with the Russian and Polish versions. Finally, Bulgarian plays strengthen the eclecticism, characteristic of the Slavonic stage, and make use of some vanguard trends (parody, ambiguity, buffoonery), which transgress certain aesthetical postulates and announce the further evolution of the European stage tradition.

Принос в психологията на творчеството

Author(s): Luben Dessev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2017

The classic of the Russian and the world’s psychology Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky (1896 – 1934) is represented as an author. The work is based on a study of his writings in Russian and Bulgarian language and highlights his contribution to the theoretical clarification of questions of creativity – a complex synergetic-system object with two subsystems: a productive-procedure (“activity”) subsystem and a personality-social subsystem.

Why Are They So Afraid of Children’s Books? The Subversive Power of Imagination (Part 1)

Author(s): Olga Bukhina / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

The article discusses the subversive power of children’s books as it is expressed in many classical and contemporary works for young readers. Starting with a brief psychological explanation of the source of creativity and playfulness in children’s literature, the author uses a Bakhtinian approach in analysing the carnivalesque quality of these books in their ability to create a topsy-turvy world, to use ‘a festive laughter,’ to present grotesque bodily transformations, and to discuss the lower stratum bodily functions such as food consumption and excretion. Many adults often underestimate the power of children’s literature, and at the same time, some books are considered dangerous; therefore, they need to be protected from various attempts to censor or to ban them as unappropriated for children.

Why Are They So Afraid of Children’s Books? The Subversive Power of Imagination (Part 2)

Author(s): Olga Bukhina / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

The second part of the article explores particular examples of subversive books in American, Soviet, and Russian children’s literature as well as the revolutionary role of fantasy and innovative literary forms through different periods of the history of the USA, the Soviet Union, and Russia. To show how children’s literature was often at odds with particular governments and common opinions, the article uses the examples of the American Left writings for young readers, the 1920s Soviet children’s prose and poetry, and contemporary Russian children’s books. The article discusses the various attempts of governmental censorship and control over this literature and the ability of writers and publishers to resist the ideological and political pressures.
