Afektywna topografia współczesnego Tokio w powieści Yoriko Shōno „Kombinat zakrzywionej czasoprzestrzeni” (Taimu surippu konbināto )

Author(s): Beata Kubiak Ho-Chi / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2015

Kubiak Ho-Chi reads Yoriko Shōno’s novel ‘Time Slip Kombinat” (1994) in the light of Brian Massumi’s theory of affect. She highlights the importance of affect and the cognitive potential of studying the emotional interaction between the individual and the place (Tokyo) in Shōno’s novel. She also emphasizes the correspondence between the chaos of the city and the chaos of feelings, which becomes apparent in the novelistic world after the industrial catastrophe. While Shōno is still untranslated into Polish, in Japan she is counted among the most revolutionary contemporary writers. Saturated with an atmosphere of surrealism and a nightmarish combination of dream and wakefulness, her experimental prose represents a postmodern Japan as well as a modern individual lost in the globalized world, filled with fear and lacking all faith in the future.

A SHORT HISTORY OF COMPUTER USE AT FACULTY OF PHYSICS – UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST

Author(s): Mircea Victor Rusu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

For physicists computing is a main activity. Starting from devising an experiment to problem solving with computer, from using mathematical tables to other aids to computation, physics has grown its strength by using each step the numerical computation. So, computing for researches as well as education was used and steadily improved by us, starting from first minicomputers to the last generation of computers and algorithms. In this presentation we will follow, in short, the evolution of computing, hard and soft, in physics at our faculty. We selected here the main field of interests that was connected with problems showing: programmed solutions, simulations and modeling, computer application and software during the time. Such a time recollection is interesting and surprises me as how diverse and far such activity was done. Examples will be from computation in tradition physics, to biology, chemistry, astronomy, medicine to data processing and visualization, data management, to create our own educational software and so on. The fields as nonlinear dynamics, complexity, chaos and fractals, as well as fluid dynamics, atomic, molecular or nuclear physics, earth or stellar physics, connected to improvement of the experiments and devices via artificial intelligence are some of our topics which will be exemplified here.

DIGITAL HUMANITIES AND E-COMMERCE: CONSIDERATIONS ON DIGITAL MONOGRAPHS

Author(s): Alessandra Di Tella / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

“Humanities”, “Commerce” and “Monographs” are three terms that have been existed for a very long time. Nowadays, they are often conceptualized in a digital way that implies a radical paradigm shift in their main features. The aim of this article is to investigate the possibility of interaction between digital humanities and e-commerce, through their application to the genre of digital monographs. By “digital monograph” we mean born-digital, long-form, media-rich, scholarly publication, that rejects the print-based form (and so the e-book format) and takes advantage of the methods and tools of digital humanities. In particular, digital monographs re-think the traditional textuality of essays; textuality becomes “liquid” and multimodal. Because of publishing, obsolescence, discoverability, use, evaluation, etc. these products must be hosted on a publishing platform that is suitable for the scholarly needs both of the authors and of the final users. The link with e-commerce arises from the need of the publishers to sell the products of research, especially in countries where the academic publishing system is not based on University Presses but on commercial ones. This study wants to reflect on how the economic logic of profit and cultural logic can coexist in a digital publishing platform: is it possible to overcome the “monograph crisis”? What are the major problems that arise when selling an academic monograph? What business models could be the most suitable for this kind of publication? In what way can a publisher improve customer loyalty? The thesis of this article is that digital enhancement of the monograph plays a key role in its sale. The opportunities offered by the digital humanities, in fact, are not only a matter of format; they are, indeed, what makes the substantial difference in the quality of scientific communication. They enable the authors and the publishers to offer the consumer something that neither the print version, nor the e-book can do. First of all, a digital monograph allows a direct link with primary and secondary sources; secondly, it supports different layers of use and wider accessibility. Moreover, it gives both the author and the reader, the possibility to better represent and understand the complexity of the research and of the methods and tools that are used. On the other hand, this article considers the infrastructure for producing and hosting these products and its importance in the development of a cultural community based on scholarly value creation. These are some of the issues that a digital publishing project needs to consider in order to sell its products and become sustainable. After discussing these questions, this article postulates a possible functioning business model of subscription based on the concept of cultural engagement. The conclusions concern the requirement of an editorial workflow that links together all the phases of production, from the author’s composition to the reader’s purchase.

Author(s): Ivan Velchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2015

This paper presents the seacrhing for the new educational forms – a process associated with rethinking of traditional standpoints and ordinary school practices in relation to the technological and humanitarian contexts created by digital technologies. To elucidate the nature of the digital game in order to raise a question about its applicability as educational tool is the main purpose of this inquiry. The digitalization engender optimistic theories about putting of the digital technologies into the educational practice but It could be asserted that these theories have to be proven in everyday school life yet. Although its undeniable potentialities technology itself is not capable to arouse a positive turn in education because the crucial cause for such a turn is human.

GOETHE AND HIS FOLLOWERS: WELTLITERATUR AND ITS AFTERLIVES

Author(s): Leena Eilittä / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Goethe and his Followers: Weltliteratur and its Afterlives. Goethe´s Weltliteratur, which recalls cosmopolitan ideas of the 18th century, drew attention to literature´s multicultural role in the international exchange and networks. His ideas were developed by subsequent scholars who reflected upon the importance of translations, literatures belonging to small nations, and putting in contact local and global aspects in their discussions about literary studies. Hugo Meltzl emphasized multilingualism for development of literary studies; Georg Brandes drew attention to the importance of small literatures; and Fritz Strich proclaimed that world literature should challenge the Eurocentric notion of literary studies.

Statecraft, Exception and Wasted Lives Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide

Author(s): Binayak Roy / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Възбудени читатели: поезията като средство за коментар в онлайн форумите

Author(s): Orlin Spassov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2019

The text analyses an interesting phenomenon: commentary in poetic form that appears frequently in online discussion forums. What causes the participants in the discussions to switch to poetic means of expression? Why, in some cases, are verses and rhymes saturated with obscene words and hate speech? The use of such language tactics complicates the relationship between the media and their publics, as it opens opportunities for creativity and resistance to imposed norms.

Отвъд колективните въображаеми: разкази без разказвачи

Author(s): Snezhana Popova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2019

The understanding that the social imaginary is not the “opposite” of the real, but a peculiar reality, is among the most important social insights of the last century. For today century, the anxiety of the advance of the imaginaries remains. The article traces their evolution – from collective representations generated in structured communities and reference groups, through virtually formalized subjects, constituted in media, to various forms of narration in virtually collective non-entity. The focus of attention are precisely the “subjectless stories” (conspiracies, social tendencies, social desirability), the imaginary ones launched through them, and the participation of contemporary media in the legalization of arbitrary relationships.

„Змейова сватба“ на Петко Ю. Тодоров и „Горска песен“ на Леся Украинка

Author(s): Tsvetana Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2020

The article takes a view over the typological similarity of the play „Dragon's wedding“ (a work with highlighted decorative and secession elements) by the Bulgarian writer Petko J. Todorov and the dramatic fairy-tale „Forest Song“ (attributed to the works of neo-romanticism) by the Ukrainian writer Lessya Ukrainka for the first time. It doesn't analyze the direct dependence of the two works, but their typology – the parallel use by Todorov and Lessya Ukrainka of the chromatic code, natural topographies (mountain, landscape, lake, forest, cave), vegetative symbolism, kissing and simil., centered around the image of the Woman and the general concept of the authors for „aesthetics“ in the art.

България и българите в съвременната сръбска представа (наблюдения над студентската рецепция на българска литература, над студентски текстове по български език)

Author(s): Antoaneta Alipieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2020

The problem of the reception of one literature within another is complex – it is linguistic, traditional-cultural, situational-cultural, political, aesthetic. Foreign literature is seldom reciprocated solely for aesthetic reasons, it is seldom reciprocated also for market reasons. Market niches are usually a chance for major cultures such as Russian, French, English, etc., which have strong advertising, languages used around the world, ie. they are cultural colonizers. Small languages and cultures need strong support from the original culture, which needs to develop special tools to promote and translate small literatures. This is usually done by funding transfers from foundations or programs of the country of origin. And since we are talking about Bulgarian literature, it has a different reception everywhere, because the cultural situations in which it fits are different.

Предопределеното послание (Mисия сред свои)

The aim of the research is not to list and interpret particular texts or reproductions published in “Crescendo”, but to showcase and prove the importance and the essence of this short-lived magazine for Bulgarian culture, as well as for the history of the European avant-garde – a puzzle that still appears to be incomplete.

Добруджа в изследванията на Ищван Дьорфи

Author(s): Veneta Yankova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2020

The report examines poorly known testimonies of Dobrudzha and its ethnic characteristics, collected by the Hungarian ethnographer Györfi István (1916). They correspond to the trend in the then Hungarian science of exploring „related Turan peoples“. Today they can be considered as a beginning of a more targeted and systematic knowledge of Hungarian society about the Bulgarian province. These publications are a good basis for forming certain ideas about the Bulgarian territories and for enhancing their research interest.

„Вътре и между два свята“ (Кадзуо Ишигуро „Бледият изглед към хълмовете” и „Остатъкът от деня“)

Author(s): Magdalena Kostova-Panayotova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2020

The article studies two novels of one of the cross-cultural writers Kazuo Ishiguro – A pale view of hills (1982) and The remains of the day (1989). Way before he received his Nobel prize in 2017, Ishiguro has already been acknowledged internationally and his novels have been translated in many languages all over the world, winning literary awards. His novel The remains of the day (1989) was adapted into an Oscar nominated film with a cast full of well-known stars. The movie was nominated in 8 categories. Important themes in Ishiguro’s works are the return to the past, the memory, the search for signs and personal identity, the discursive crossing of boundaries and cultural narratives. In this space, which is ‘somewhere inside and in-between two worlds’, values and structures are reassessed, the history of the past is restructured and all of this happens from the viewpoint of the alienated narrator. Ishiguro's novels represent a meta-text with respect to Western stereotypes of the East and „Japanese“, which have their roots in Japanese culture itself, but conceive of it ambivalently. Likewise, the novel The remains of the day is a metatext concerned with the phenomenon of „Englishness“ which exists on many levels in the work’s structure, but this recognition of the „English novel” is again in the zone of hybrid mentality.
