Достоевский о русской народной самобытности

Author(s): Alexandr V. Motorin / Language(s): Russian Issue: 127/2009

From May, 1872 Dostoevsky for hours lives on earth of Staraya Russa (Old Russia), deepening into understanding of Russian soil, nationality. It was told on the substantial transforming of creative setting: to a great extent the writer went back to one of the native beginnings of Russian consciousness: to verbal creation, free from the personal tyranny of the artist, from the magic fi gment of the imagination, from the temptation to create and impose to the large God’s world with the own artistic, fi ction world. At the same time in his creative consciousness the idea about the unity of such beginnings of Russian folk mentality, as the faith into Christ, moral cleanliness, meekness, orthodox historiosophy consciousness of The Third Rome, and fi nally, language, which all of these expressing and saving, is normalized. The special meaning the writer gave to the living embodiment of these beginnings in some ideal personalities of the saint devotees of faith, Russian women, simple people. Saving of the beginnings of the folk consciousness in living persons is appeared, by Dostoevsky, with the pledge of further existence of nation in the earth time and happy fate in the Eternity.

Figury kresu życia w późnej poezji Bułata Okudżawy

Author(s): Aleksandra Urban-Podolan / Language(s): Polish Issue: 127/2009

Poets’ late work, called “farewell gesture” by Anna Legeżyńska, tends to exhibit a repertoire of — to quote Tomasz Wójcik’s phrase — “metaphorical figures of autobiographism, made up of the condensed metaphors of poets’ autobiographies.” Among those figures, he stresses the three basic ones: enumeration, circle, and refl ection. Legeżyńska adds — as cognate ones — ‘figure of life-journey’ (road of life) and ‘topos of crossing’ (a river, threshold, gateway, doorway, etc.). In Okudzhava’s poetry the intensifi cation of those “metaphorical figures of autobiographism” — usually present in coming to terms with the poet’s past — appeared in the work of his last two decades of creative life, i.e. the 1980s and 1990s — marked by the poet’s struggle with his disease, a result of which are his refl ections on the transience of life and unavoidability of death. This paper analyses not only the above-mentioned, classic, end-of-life figures, but also other, specific to Okudzhava, ones, such as the life-as-waiting room motif.

Gruparea intelectuală „Thesis”- o formă a extensiunii „localismului creator”

Author(s): Gheorghe Manolache / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2016

Pendant les années 30 il y avait déjà une crise généralisée de la culture européenne moderne. Cʼest pourquoi Al. Dima propose lʼélaboration théorique dʼun prototype local dont la function culturelle obligatoire soit celle de courroie de transmission. Il sʼagit du concept de localisme créateur qui deviendra une réaction consolatrice par rapport au chaos culturel determiné par lʼimitation sans censure des formes occidentales marquées des idéologies contradictoires. Dans le premier numéro du bulletin édité par le groupement intellectuel Thesis, activant à Sibiu, au cours des années 1932 – 1933, ce sont les communication interdisciplinaires qui dominent, plaidant pour lʼassociation de lʼesthéthique à la biologie, la psychologie, la sociologie, la philosophie, la médecine etc. La formule du localisme créateur fonctionne comme validation de lʼauthenticité de beau roumain en tant que lieu géométrique unissant le typique (le local, le spécifique) et le caractéristique (lʼoriginalité esthétique) – repères dominants dans sa thèse de doctorat intitulée Le concept dʼart populaire (1938). Le spécifique national, hérité du romantisme, a été temporairement résuscité, en tant que nouvelle formule du tradionnalisme, par le groupement intellectuel Thesis de Sibiu. Ce qui particularise lʼidéologie de Thesis est la décantation de lʼélément originaire (natif), formatif (implicite ou explicite) régressif et la révendication du localisme créateur en tant que manifestation dʼun ensemble de traces nationales objectives („Eigenart”) que la nouvelle réalité littéraire des années 30 met énergiquement en évidence. Malheureusement, lʼobéissance à lʼIdée, à la Thèse, présentée de manière légère et souvent contradictoire dans les pages de la revue La Provence Littéraire, de lʼAnthologie THESIS et des deux bulletins édités par le groupement intellectuel Thesis ne sera pas confirmée par/dans lʼécriture littéraire de ses membres, préoccupés surtout par la (ré)traditionnalisation.

Ironie și grotesc în nuvelistica lui Victor Papilian

Author(s): Ingrid Cezarina Elena Barbieru / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2016

Victor Papilian’s work represents one of the many key moments of the Romanian literature between the two World Wars. His writings are fundamental for a better understanding and view upon both the social and artistic contexts. This paper aims to offer a wider perspective upon Victor Papilian’s short prose, by establishing two important milestones: the irony and the grotesque. These modern aesthetic categories play an outstanding role in identifying the singularity of the epoch’s mentalities: the modern man, who is always searching, always doubting, always criticizing the world. Our paper aims also to present, from a different point of view, the inner mechanisms which animate a modern writer’s artistic point of view. For this purpose, we have selected several examples of short prose, from Victor Papilian’s work. Our analysis consists in revealing the means by which the irony and the grotesque are built throughout the text. From a fine irony, up to a sarcastic tone, the author uses all kinds of means to illustrate his ideas and feelings. For example, all types of comics and characterization, interior monologue, up to the portraits illustration. Victor Papilian’s short prose, despite the lack of approach, remains one of the key milestones in illustrating the main artistic concepts of its times.

Mihail Sebastian – un mélomane juif pendant la guerre*

Author(s): Petruş Costea / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2015

Parmi les écrivains roumains dans l’entre-deux-guerres (Anton Holban, Camil Petrescu et autres) qui ont écrit des chroniques musicales, Mihail Sebastian est le plus actif et le plus substantiel. Entre 1935 et 1939, c’est-à-dire pendant quatre saisons musicales complètes, il rédige pour le quotidien bucarestois de langue française „L’Indépendance roumaine” un nombre considérables de textes sur la musique classique, à savoir des chroniques de concert, chroniques de disque ou chroniques sur les artistes présents en Roumanie. Ses articles s’arrêtent juste avant le début de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, mais dans son Journal les notations concernant la musique continuent même jusqu’à la fin de sa vie. Le présent essai désire analyser le lien entre les chroniques musicales (avant la guerre) et les notations du diariste juif (pendant la guerre) sur la musique et les artistes allemands qui jouaient à Bucarest ou ceux que Sebastian écoutait lors des transmissions radio.

DEUTSCH-ÖSTERREICHISCHE HEIMAT: NS-LYRIK UND EXILLYRIK IM VERGLEICH

Author(s): Sabine Schopf / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2016

The aim of this essay is to analyze and compare the language used in lyric poetry during the era of National Socialism in Germany and Austria. The two main fields of analysis are the rhetorical characteristics of poetry used by the proponents of the National Socialist movement to promote their fascist ideology, which is mainly based on terms like homeland or Germany. These words are also used by political opponents or people persecuted due to their race or origin, who had been forced to leave Germany. These exiled poets, like e.g. Bertolt Brecht, give a completely different meaning to terms like homeland. The different perception of these terms is being depicted in detail comparing the main representatives of both groups and contrasting some exemplary poems with each other.

O dwoistości międzywojennego portretu Poleszuka. Literatura – publicystyka – zapisy badań terenowych

Author(s): Anna Kieżuń / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2014

The article deals with the diverse images of Polishchuk in Polish writing in the interwar period. The author analyses selected texts of literary prose (A. F. Ossendowski), journalistic (J. Nowakowski) and ethnographical works (J. Obrębski). As we may see, Ossendowski in his popular novel In Polish jungle (1935) offered the mythical portrait of Polishchuk. The legend of so-called “forest people” was also very popular in Polish fictional literature (J. Weyssenhoff, M. Rodziewiczówna). Readers favored the artistic image of an inhabitant of Polesia. There were some polemics arguments about the literary image of Polishchuk in the Polish newspapers (for example J. Nowakowski’s article The letter from Polesia published in the periodical “Marchołt” in 1936). The more actual observations of Polesia and its culture were presented by B. Malinowski’s pupil – J. Obrębski in his ethnographical study (1934–1936). His field exploration provided more legitimate facts and image of living conditions and customs of Polishchuks and therefore did not affirm provide the myth of them.

Этнонимы в русских и польских лексикографических работах

Author(s): Leonarda Dacewicz / Language(s): Russian Issue: 14/2014

Comparative analysis of Russian and Polish ethnonyms shows both similarities and distinctions of lexical strata in these cognate Slavic languages. One of the reasons of discrepancy in Russian and Polish ethnonymical vocabularies is different suffixes, which are used in ethnonyms formation. The most productive suffix in Russian is -ец, in Polish – -czyk. There are ethnonyms in the dictionaries of the Russian language but there are not ones in the dictionaries of the Polish language (for instance, Słownik języka polskiego, red. M. Szymczak). There are three grammatical forms of Russian ethnonyms (forms of masculine and feminine gender and the plural form) and two forms of Polish equivalents (only the forms of masculine and feminine gender) in Russian-Polish Dictionaries. It is difficult to form the plural of less known Polish ethnonyms. One have to find these forms in special dictionaries (Słownik nazw własnych).

Język Ewangeliarza 1771 r. w konfrontacji z językiem pierwszej drukowanej Biblii cerkiewnosłowiańskiej (na przykładzie fleksji imiennej i werbalnej)

Author(s): Małgorzata Kurianowcz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2014

The article is focused on morphological analysis of two Slavonic Gospels: the first complete printed edition of the Church Slavonic Bible (1581) and the 18th century altar Gospel, which is kept in Orthodox monastery in Jabłeczna (south–east Poland). The comparison of these two texts on linguistic level permits to ascertain, that over three hundred years morphological features nouns and verbs have changed. The main aim of these changes was to eliminate a homonymy which hindered text perception and caused many misunderstandings. In order to improve the biblical text, proofreaders replaced soft endings with hard endings. Did they achieve their aim? Only the Church Slavonic Bible readers can answer this question.

The main purpose of this paper is to present images of “shadow” wives of Russian rulers in bylinas (epic poetry) and the other artifacts of the East Slavic folklore. Main heroines of hereby article are: – Solomonia Saburova, which was the first wife of Vasilii III, grand prince of Muscovy. When after twenty years of marriage Solomonia remained childless, her husband decided to divorce the grand princess and forcibly confine her in a convent. – Anastasia Romanovna – the daughter of the boyar Roman Zakharin, who gave his name to the later Romanov dynasty. Both official and folkloristic sources describe her as “virtuous and courteous” tsarina, despite the fact, that she took no interest in governmental affairs and had relatively little political influence on her husband. – Maria Temryukovna – the daughter of prince Temrjuk of Kabardia. She became wife of tzar Ivan the Terrible after the death of Anastasia.

Мотив измены в Защите Лужина Владимира Набокова

Author(s): Martyna Sienkiewicz / Language(s): Russian Issue: 17/2017

This paper is devoted to infidelity motif (its function and place in the novel) in one of Russian-language works of V. Nabokov, The Defence. We believe that infidelity motif, each time appearing in a key strategic moments of a story, is a symbol of life deception by a character in favor of chess reality. The world that constantly takes away vital energy, comprehension and makes character a social cripple, subhuman. This motif fulfills supportive function, enriching aesthetic value of main motif (chess), around which whole novel is built. Nabokov masterfully joins both phenomena and silently imply that ideal art does not deny reality, but they tend to coexist in sui generis symbiosis.
