Философские версии вечного сюжета об Амуре и Психее: от неоплатонизма к христианству

Author(s): Yuliya Kotaridi / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2020

The subject of this paper is the transformation of the poetics of Cupid and Psyche plot in its national and historical modifications in European literature. The methodology of the analysis is based on mythological studies (A. N. Veselovsky, A. F. Losev) and genre studies (M. M. Bakhtin, S. S. Averintsev, E. M. Meletinsky, etc.). Allegorization of the images of Love and Soul appeared in the antiquity long before the novel by Apuleius “Asinus aureus” or “Metamorphoses” (the 2nd century AD). In a Greek epigram Eros is often associated with the element of fire that puts the soul — “Psycho” — to a variety of ordeals and tortures. In “Metamorphoses” by Apuleius the tale about Cupid and Psyche can be seen as an allegorical narration about the soul traveling around the world and looking for ways to Love and eternal life. Later, the parabolic core of the ancient story was enriched with new motifs from the arsenal of mythology, Neoplatonism and Christianity. The archetypical basis and platonic paradigm of the plot in “Metamorphoses” by Apuleius go together in a syncretic unity, that provides universality and polysemy of the different versions of tales about Cupid and Psyche in European literature. The neoplatonic version of the story, which interprets the reunion between Cupid and Psyche as the Union of God and Soul, is represented in literature by writings of Fulgentius, Boccaccio, Heine, Coleridge, Żuławski and others.

Философские искания в драме Павола Орсага- Гвездослава «Ирод и Иродиада» и «Трагедии человека» Имре Мадача

Author(s): Elena Rozhkova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1-2/2006

This article is an attempt to compare the dramas by Slovakian and Hungarian dramatists. As an introduction a very brief issue throws light upon the Slovakian and Hungarian literary relations, which were the course of coexistence of two nations in the united state field. The outstanding Slovakian poet of the last quarter of the 19th century Pavol Ország-Hviezdoslav admired Hungarian culture and literature. In 1905 he translated into Slovakian “The Tragedy of Man” by Imre Madách and a few years later he wrote his own philosophical drama “Herodes and Herodias”, what made possible to follow some parallels between these works. At first sight there isn’t much in common, however what makes them similar are some philosophical subjects such as the Bible motives, interest in history and human moral problems. At the same time the article deals with genre of these works (dramatical poem, philosophical drama, symbolical poem). The analysis of two dramas makes reasonable to confirm that between them there are typological and contact relations which are the part of the general Slovakian and Hungarian cultural context.

ФОЛЬКЛОРНИЙ УСНИЙ И ПИСЬМОВИЙ ТЕКСТ У КОНТЕКСТI СЛОВ’ЯНСЬКОЇ ТРАДИЦIЙНОЇ ОБРЯДОВОСТI

Author(s): Oksana O. Mykytenko / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 51/2013

The article deals with the correlation of Slav traditional folklore texts, created both by improvisators and performers-professionals, in whose work the desire for individual, author’s role is evident. Such aspect of the existing tradition raise the question of broadening of the genre sphere of the traditional ritual folklore and addresses both the problem of oral / written tradition and the phenomenon of folk professionalism. In this context analysis of the text, in particular the funeral mourning in South-Slav traditions, requires broad parallels both in Slav and non-Slav traditions. The examples available in particular in North-Russian and Rumanian traditions can be qualified as the tendency to convey individuality in the folklore process in the form of author’s written text. This tradition functionally tends to reflect “chronicle” folklore text widely presented in the Carpathian and Balkan region.

Функция криптоцитаты на основе сравнительного анализа картины „Что есть истина. Христос и Пилат” Н. Ге и „Легенды о Великом Инквизиторе” Ф.М. Достоевского

Author(s): Paulina Bogusz-Tessmar / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2011

The article The function of a crypto-quotation on the basis of the picture of “Quod est veritas. Christ and Pilate” by M. Ge and “The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor” by F. Dostoyevsky aims at highlighting the relations between the analysed phenomena found both in the picture of Ge and in the legend. It reveals the mutual correspondence between the picture and the legend. To make such comparison possible, the author holds a view that methodological assumptions of the so called art correspondence and semiosphere may become sub-codes, which allow mutual influence and explanation of one sign by the others. Common ground for the two texts (the picture and the legend) may be a dialogue and a mythical approach. From the analysis, the author comes to a conclusion that the crypto-quotation (a hidden quotation) may be perceived as the polyphony of the word and the picture, which, to a certain extent, can be associated with Bakhtin's theory of the polyphony of the word in Dostoyevsky's novels.

Хикая как литературный жанр (на материале произведений А. Еники 1940–1960-х годов)

Author(s): Venera Rudalevna Amineva / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2017

The paper discusses the peculiarities of functioning of hikaya as an art form in A. Eniki’s prose during the 1940s–1960s. The relevance of the research is determined by the uncertainty of the concepts used for designation of works of average and small forms of epics in the Tatar literature of the 20th century. The analysis has been performed in order to identify the genre characteristics of hikaya as the non-canonical genre of Tatar Literature, which is not identical to the non-canonical small epic genres (e.g., stories) in Russian and European literature. Furthermore, it has been established that hikaya is not identical to novella on the one hand and narrative on the other hand. Systemic structural analysis, syn-chronic and diachronic approaches to investigation of the material have been used to achieve the above-stated goal.

Author(s): Silvestras Gaižiūnas / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 92/2015

Radauskas like Poplavsky is interested to aesthetics of surrealism at all, he knows the poetry of the Russian emigration, also Poplavsky’s creative work. Both poets in their poems adventurously compares images, various realities. Often incomparable things become close at carnival play. Radauskas ignores law of empiric and prefers a fairy-tale, but Poplavsky – a miracle. For better understanding of parallels and differences of Lithuanian and Russian poets creative work in the article is analysed representation of the time and space. In this relation fundamental attention is paid to angel, Orpheus, the moon, height, abyss and deepness. Orpheus overcomes the time in Radauskas’s creative work and the space in Poplavsky creative work. In the poems of both poets phantasmagoric, surrealistic visions is related to the moon. In the lyric plot of Radauskas uncloses terrestrial and cosmic abyss, which embody the abyss of art too. The motive of abyss refills by the motive of depth and bottom in Poplavsky’s and Radauskas’ creative work. The bottom of Universe is deepest in Poplavsky creative work (29th poem from “The Automatic Poems”). It represents absolute loneliness. The impressive view of bottom opens in Poplavsky’s 166th poem “The Automatic Poems”. Here is represented the carnival, which connect heroes of various period. The parallel for this Poplavsky’s poem is Radauskas’ poem “Čiurlionis”.

ХУМАНИЗАМ, ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИЈА И КОЛОНИЗАЦИЈА У ДРАМАМА КРАЉЕВСКИ ЛОВ НА СУНЦЕ ПИТЕРА ШАФЕРА И ДИВЉАЦИ КРИСТОФЕРА ХАМПТОНА

Author(s): Lena Lj. Tica / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 59/2016

Relying on the critique of Western civilization offered by artists such as Aime Césaire, Athol Fugard, George Orwell and Harold Pinter, the following paper examines the two plays written by Peter Shaffer (The Royal Hunt of the Sun) and Christopher Hampton (Savages) respectively, and outlines the way Shaffer and Hampton question the traditionally fabricated notions of colonization, civilization and savagery. Set in Latin America in different historical periods, 16th and 20th centuries, these two plays draw parallels between the processes of colonization and neo-colonization and condemn the continuous process of exploitation and degradation of humanity, in which both European science and European church have been participating for several centuries. Through the prism of the ’domination’ and the ’partnership’ models of society offered by Riane Eisler, the paper juxtaposes the principle of force brought by Western Civilizations and the principle of peace and community which characterized numerous primordial societies throughout the world, including the Incas, before they were destroyed by Europe. After their encounter with non-European anthropological models, the European protagonists of these plays begin to question the foundations on which their former worldview rests, a view anchored in official ideologies of European colonialism. The plays raise the question of finding a space for love, in the sense in which Tolstoy uses it in his book The Kingdom of God is within you – as the unity of human souls and source of faith in man. Furthermore, they open the issue of the return to human dignity and humanity that characterized lost civilizations, forgotten in the continuous historical cycles of killing brought by patriarchy.

ЧАРЛС РАЈТ МИЛС: КУБА КАО УТОЧИШТЕ И ИНСПИРАЦИЈА

Author(s): Igor D. Petrović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 59/2016

American Sociologist Charles Wright Mills (1916-1962) dedicated an important part of his career to the study of Latin American cultures. His initial interest in Mexico and Puerto Rico culminated in his visit to Cuba, in the summer of 1960, several months after the success of the Cuban revolution. This journey had an immense impact on Mills, a professor at Columbia University, helping him to define and articulate his vision of a new, more humane society. The stay in Cuba resulted in the publication if his controversial book Listen, Yankee: The Revolution in Cuba. Mills’ case was not isolated. The Cuban experience played a crucial role in the careers of several other representatives of the 1968 generation, such as the German poet Hans Magnus Enzensberger and the French author and philosopher Régis Debray, both of whom, in the late sixties, continued their academic careers at the University of Havana. It should also be noted that Tom Hayden’s recent book Listen Yankee: Why Cuba Matters (2015), published in support of the announced normalization of relations between USA and Cuba, is a reminder of Mills’ immense contribution to the understanding of the issues related to the conflicts between conservative and revolutionary ideologies which still shape our world.

ЧАРЛЬЗ ДИККЕНС В ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ И ЖИЗНИ ЛЬВА ТОЛСТОГО

Author(s): G. V. Alekseeva / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 5-6/2019

All his life L.N. Tolstoy greatly appreciated Ch. Dickens for the humanism of his works. His attitude to Ch. Dickens never changed, though we know that his reading preferences were far from being static – he evaluated and re-evaluated so many writers during his life. For L.N. Tolstoy, the works of Ch. Dickens, as well as the works of V. Hugo, F.M. Dostoevsky, and some other writers, emphasize the feeling of unity and brotherhood of people. He spoke about this English writer to his family and friends. “David Copperfield” was L.N. Tolstoy’s favorite novel throughout his long life. In the spring of 1861, he spent 16 days in London and attended a lecture by Ch. Dickens at St. James’s Hall. L.N. Tolstoy was familiar with Ch. Dickens’s work, both in English and Russian, and had many editions of Ch. Dickens’s novels in his personal library at Yasnaya Polyana. In the last decades of his life, L.N. Tolstoy experienced great disappointment in contemporary literature, and his treatise “What Is Art?” (1897) testifies to that. According to L.N. Tolstoy, Ch. Dickens’s works reflect the best human feelings. Ch. Dickens’s novels with their simple emotions experienced and known by everyone unite people all over the world. In his treatise on art, L.N. Tolstoy described himself as a definite admirer of Ch. Dickens, whose works are full of true Christian spirit as patterns of ‘the highest religious art’.

ЧИТAЊЕ - ПИСAЊE БИОБРAФИЈE CBETOГ ФРAЊЕ У ЉУБАВИ У TOCKAHИ МИЛОШA ЦРЊAНСКОГA

Author(s): Zorica Babić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2008

The paper discusses the well-known Miloš Crnjanski’s travell-book Ljubav u To- skani (Love in Tuscany) in which one chapter, „Assisi” is dedicated to St. Francis as a saint-protector of Italy, „the lover” of Poverty, „the liberator” of body and love, as well as the lover of nature. Crnjanski uses very unusual procedures: he dramatizes the scenes from the Saint’s life, points to other texts (Celanski, St. Bonaventura, Fioretti, Goethe, Bourget), reads Nature as a book, that is as a monument to solve the issue of representing the Saint’s biography in a satisfactory way. Essentially, it is the case of a textual approach to the world. The persons, including Francis himself, are determined by what they read. „Good reading” is always a kind of living somebody else’s life.

ЧОВЕК И KOCMOC У ДEЛУ AРТУРA КЛAРКA И СТАНИСЛАВА ЛЕМА

Author(s): Novica Petrović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2006

Иницијални подстицај за једно овакво истраживање била je чињеница да Лртур Кларк и Станислав Лем, по практично неподељеном мишљењу критике, представљају истинске бардове научнофантастичног жанра. У њиховим опусима, сада мање-више заокруженим (Лем је пре- стао да пише прозу крајем осамдесетих година прошлог века; Кларк на почетку двадесет и првог века још увек повремено објављује нова прозна дела, али вероватноћа да ће међу њима бити неких значајнијих додатака канону није нарочито велика), мотив човековог места у космосу и ко- смичких перспектива људске расе заузима средишње место, тако да се по природи ствари ово наметало као тематска окосница једног оваквог истраживања. Ништа мање важна у овом контексту јесте и чињеница да, премда о обојици аутора постоје многобројни критички радови, укључујући ту и монографије, оваква упоредна анализа њиховог стваралаштва досад у свету није урађена.
