ДИАЛОГ С ЧИТАТЕЛЕМ В КНИГЕ ПЕТРА ВАЙЛЯ «СЛОВО В ПУТИ»

Author(s): Alsu Hadievna Vafina / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

The paper deals with the issues related to analysis of some special features inherent in the literary genre of travelogue. The research is focused on the artistic originality of “The Word on the Way” (2010) by Pyotr Vail. The ways of constructing the dialog in the communicative chain, by which the information is transferred from the author to the reader, are studied. Pluralism as the main principle in the organization and structuring of the material reveals the importance of the author’s image in the inner world of the text. The relation between the concepts of “native” and “foreign” is fundamental for understanding the artistic originality of “The Word on the Way”. The originality of this binary opposition in Pyotr Vail’s collection actualizes the significance of the USSR’s role in the process of constructing the world’s history. The author’s attitude to the well-known historical facts appeals to the recipient consciousness, thereby engaging them in active mental activity. In this case, the book lined up a trusting relationship with the recipient. Despite the dominant role of the author where the narrator acts as a slave of the subject, it is necessary to touch upon the process of bilateralism. It promotes the recipient’s living response to the provocations given in the idiomatic statements.

ИНТЕРМЕДИАЛЬНОСТЬ ЛИТЕРАТУРНОГО И ТЕАТРАЛЬНОГО ТЕКСТА (НА ПРИМЕРЕ РОМАНА ОРХАНА ПАМУКА «МЕНЯ ЗОВУТ КРАСНЫЙ» И ОДНОИМЁННОГО СПЕКТАКЛЯ ТАТАРСКОГО ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО АКАДЕМИЧЕСКОГО ТЕАТРА ИМ. Г. КАМАЛА)

Author(s): Elena Nikolaevna Shevchenko / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

Orhan Pamuk is Turkey’s prominent contemporary novelist and recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. The main theme of his works is the clash of the Eastern and Western civilizations, interaction between cultures and their interpenetration. Russian readers are familiar with O. Pamuk’s novels “The Black Book”, “The White Castle”, “My Name Is Red”, “Snow”, “Istanbul. The City of Memories”, as well as with his short stories and essays. The novel “My Name Is Red” (1998), on which this paper is focused, talks about the penetration of the traditions of European painting into the Eastern art and their influence on Turkish miniatures. O. Pamuk considers the problem of dramatic interaction between the “native” and the “foreign”, shows the painful process of understanding of their own identity by Turkish artists. The philosophical reflections on art, faith, and traditions are closely connected with the detective plot and love story of the novel. The novel has a complex polyphonic structure: it consists of numerous alternating monologues of characters, such as the painted dog, Satan, dead artist, and, finally, the Red – the life-giving and fire-like element and the color which gave the title to the novel. The problems raised in the novel determine its distinct intermedial character. The aim of this paper is to identify and systematize the intermedial components (manifestations of the pictorial and literary interaction) of the novel. The paper is conditionally divided into two parts. The first part analyzes the novel under consideration. The second part of the article is devoted to the intermediality of the play based on O. Pamuk’s novel and staged in 2014 by M. Kal’sin, the director of the G. Kamal Tatar State Academic Theater (Kazan). In our opinion, the intermedial field of the play expands as the rich visual imagery is added to the verbal techniques of thematization of the works of visual art. This includes the accentuated decorativeness of the play seen in the stage design and costumes, images of Turkish miniatures projected on the screen (by A. Votyakov), and creation of characters through choreography (by M. Bol’shakova). It is shown in the paper how the intermedial references in the novel and the play based on it contribute to the main idea, thereby helping to realize the author’s intent by means of different kinds of art.

Zachodnia i wschodnia tradycja wykonawcza śpiewu sakralnego: aspekt estetyczny

Author(s): Ievgeniia Lazarevych / Language(s): Polish Issue: 04 (31)/2016

Fundamental differences between Kyiv-Pechersk choral style and Western model of performance of religious chants can be considered in various contexts and at several levels. One should take into account diversity of church rules (canon), mentality, even geographical location and physiological capabilities of voices of the singers coming from a particular area. The performance practice is also connected with such factors as cultural traditions, language, way of life and social issues related to faith. It is therefore understandable that, after a short period of a fragile cultural unity of the Church, different traditions emerged. The author argues that the way of singing is directly dependent on the fundamental philosophical and theological ideas, originating from the Church canon. Then, the differences between chant performance in two main branches of the Christian Church seem to be a consequence of the distinct ways in which the theological doctrine, dogma of the Church, the temporal and spatial principles of worship and art developed in Roman Catholic and Byzantine Orthodox traditions. The two different perceptions of communication with God and its influence on church singing are considered by the author as an exemplary case.

Von Marburg nach Pittsburgh-2: Anschauung in der Struktur der Erfahrung

Author(s): Maja Soboleva / Language(s): German Issue: 35/2016

The paper focuses on the problem of constitution of our cognitive experience. Two approaches to this problem proposed by Ernst Cassirer and John McDowell are central for the analysis. Both authors use Immanuel Kant’s theory of cognition as a foundation for their own conceptions und they develop their independent interpretations of it according to the traditions they belong to. Although McDowell’s interpretation emerged within analytical philosophy, we can see similarity with Cassirer’s theory. Comparative studies of these theories will point out the convergences and divergences between them.

Photography for Tomáš

Author(s): Marián Paukov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

In this paper, I demonstrate the transcultural dialogue which is happening on the basis of partial problems of both russian and non-russian art. This dialogue happens in a historic and a „spatial“ context, which, as a phenomenon, should correspond to the future of geocultural hyperthinking. A huge tradition of antique culture, together with apolonian clarity, has found its own continuation in older classical and modern russian art. The holy trinity of Andrej Rublov and the Mason by the futurist D. Rurljuk serve as a great example. In the movie „Blowup“, by Michelangelo Antonioni, the various connotations of the protagonist’s name – Thomas- have been mostly left ignored. There isa plethora of options to choose from – ranging from Thomas Aquinas up to associations with the biblical figure of the doubting Thomas. Furthermore, through paying my respects via photography to an important art critic – Tomas Strauss– I took upon myself to make use of this paper to try and ponder the nature of photography per se, in the context of its various types and its place within the art genres. Humans are able to perceive an exemplar stability, or photographic affinity, of the world, as we can conclude from the metaphor: „Humans are beings in between God and a frog“. Frogs can not react to static impulses, only humans can. A cinematograph, as a technical principle, appeared only after the invention of photography, but as an innate way of seeing the world predates photography by ages.

Pour une esthétique de la traduction : traduire « Noël » de Stanisław Vincenz

Author(s): Olena Berezovska Picciocchi / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2018

In the 1970s, novelist and literary theory scholar Hans Robert Jauss developed the modern concept of the “aesthetics of reception” or “reception‐aesthetics” (German Rezeptionsästhetik) of a literary work. This notion can be applied to a translation process that aims at finding the strategies for an optimal aesthetic reception. In this article I shall examine the translation strategies of Barbara Wanders de Vincenz who translated into French the ethnographical studies on the traditional Christmas celebrations in the Carpathians. They were written by her father, Stanisław Vincenz, a 20th century Polish writer, and were included in his masterpiece Na wysokiej Połoninie (On the High Uplands).

To Leap First Down into the Trench: Tristram Shandy’s Critique of the Wounds of War

Author(s): Tracy Anne Travis / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2018

While scholars have mined Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy to understand the form and development of the novel as a literary genre, a central narrative element that has garnered significant scholarly attention is Tristram’s troubled Uncle Toby ‒ a veteran of the Nine Years War who bears a mysterious wound in the groin and who is obsessed with understanding war through the construction and use of miniature battle re-enactments. By recognizing Uncle Toby as a central character of Tristram Shandy and by contextualizing the novel as war literature, this essay demonstrates that Uncle Toby’s struggles to express his ambiguous trauma suffered as a soldier become a critical commentary on the social structures and circumstances that lead to the experiences of wounded veterans. Situating Tristram Shandy in the context of war literature, this article reveals how Toby’s character plays on Enlightenment conceptions of honour and valour as motivators for soldiers. Furthermore, the article argues that applying the theory of Moral Injury (long present but largely unnamed in war literature), rather than the tempting diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), allows for a more holistic understanding of Toby’s critical commentary.

Experiencing Cultural Visualisations: the Anthropology of (re-)Construction

Author(s): Marta Leśniakowska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The proposed analysis of the category of modernity within the perspective of postmodern critical history of art aims at showing how the relations with an image change where the issue of image as cultural visualisation of experience – i.e. as the speakable language – has been reversed toward a question of experiencing the image. The field of the observation is analysis of the image of a certain (specific) town as a record of social participation in which memory can be watched, i.e. memory becomes visible as a performative category. This is effectuated by means of an aesthetic experience which leads to generation of memory as a cultural experience and to rehabilitation of the notion of emotion and sentimental involvement in perceiving/experiencing art (as in Gernot Boehm). Analysed is a project by young Polish artist Aleksandra Polisiewicz titled Wartopia, a project referring to plans and realisation of a Socialist Warsaw appears as a continuation of the project in question. The idea of tabula rasa which governed the fascist plans has namely been implemented by the other totalitarian regime – i.e. communism and its own visions of a Socialist Warsaw that led to an experiment materialised.

„Дон Kихот“ като трактат за реалността

Author(s): Javier San Martín / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2016

Referring to some of the basic ideas of “Reflections on Don Quixote”, Javier San Martin analyzes the philosophical approach of Ortega to the book “Don Quixote” by Cervantes. The article presents the intertextuality of the “Reflections” and explicates three different notions of reality deriving from various cultural and historical periods. According to the article’s author Ortega appreciates “Don Quixote" as metanarrative of Modernity, because the mind is presented in the novel as a problem in itself.

Амбивалентността на тялото и културата

Author(s): Emil Georgiev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2015

This article considers a problem of the body and its ambivalence as a subject and as a fiction. Different views on culture are observed and attempt to propose a new reading of the relationships between the body and the culture is made. The point of the article is that the body is ambivalent and has symbolic along with its physical characteristics. The body is usually concerned as an opposition to a soul. An exception to this view is Kantorowicz’s perspective on the political body of the ruler, which is linked to the Lesly White’s idea of the prohibition of incest.

Tentatives in the Theory of Cinema Communication – Ideas, Grounds, Contextual Paradigms

Author(s): Irina Kitova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Art, as well as the theoretic approach to art, is doubtlessly undergoing changes or at least a rethinking in the context of the new ‘digital’ reality. With regard to cinema art, to reveal the mechanisms that mediate interactions in the system, already more complex and liberated from mediation, of relations between author (authors, creators), film (films) and viewer (public, mass audience) is essentially to uncover the paradigm of cinematic communication in the general cultural field, and particularly in the field of cinema, as well as to explore the degree in which they are able to influence the processes of establishing of certain aesthetical, cultural, social etc., ideas, attitudes, norms and models as dominating not solely in the context of film art.

Телевизионният дискурс в България: постмодерно, модерно, носталгия

Author(s): Orlin Spassov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2017

The text highlights two main ways in which the television discourse in Bulgaria has unfolded in recent years. The first one is connected with postmodernism, but now it looks retro. The second is the result of the influence of social media and networks on television (digital modern-ism). The interweaving and complementarity between these two main types of television discourse produces effects of nostalgia, thus contributing to the maintenance of conservative myths and status quo.
