Onomastic codes of the “Poem Without A Hero” by A. A. Akhmatova as hidden intertextual addressing

The subject of this research is the principles of correlation of onomastic code of the “Poem Without A Hero” with the text frame of its various editions, viewed from the communicative-pragmatic perspective. The object of this research is nine editions of the “Poem Without a Hero” and intertextual references marked within the text frame. The author dwells on such aspects as the interrelation between the literary onomastics and hidden meanings of the poem, transformations of the text frame, methods of “instilling” the authorial meanings to intertextual sources (the works of Byron, Pushkin, and Gumilyov). Special attention is given to projection of the personal myth of Anna Akhmatova, which is traced through the poem, on Western European and Russian literature and the evolution of the text frame. It is demonstrated that the ensemble of epigraphs, which represents an implicit dedication to the poet fallen in disfavor, dissolves leaving imprints in the form of mentioning of Byron and Don Juan in the text of the poem. The main conclusion lies in the establishment of a number of semantic correspondences between the text frame and the historical-cultural halo of names, which on the one hand are associated with the imagery-motif level of a particular poem, while on the other – with personal mythology of the poet. The author’s special contribution to this research lies in outlining the strategies aimed at preservation of special intertextual memory in the names. The novelty consists in determination of the semantic halo of the name, which specifies a range of implicit meanings of the poem. It is revealed that these meanings are “supported” by the corresponding references. Such reminiscences, interweaving into a complex ornamental pattern, on the one side are conceptually programmed by the very structure of the “Poem Without A Hero”, and on the other side, determined biographically.

Tolstoy’s Text in Works of R. Akutagawa

The supertext in the works of one of the most popular and mysterious Japanese writers of the early 20th century — Ryunosuke Akutagawa examined in the article. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that the problem of considering supertexts is one of the promising interdisciplinary areas of modern humanitarian knowledge. It is pointed out that in literary criticism there are quite a few works on topos texts, but very few works devoted to the nominal supertext, which is Tolstoy’s text. It is emphasized that Tolstoy’s text began to be created especially actively at the beginning of the twentieth century, and Tolstoy’s personality itself aroused interest not only in his homeland, but throughout the world. It is noted that the author’s extensive correspondence with public figures in Japan is known. It is argued that the fiction and journalistic texts of the Russian classic influenced the development of the national literature of Japan. Particular attention is paid to the issue of including in the text the personal myth of Leo Tolstoy as the basis of the Tolstoy’s text in the works of Akutagawa. It is shown that the Japanese writer refers to the story of the Yasnaya Polyana wise old man, using the episode of reconciliation between Turgenev and Tolstoy as the plot of the story “Woodcock”. In conclusion, the authors note that in their later works (“Cogwheels”, “The Life of an Idiot”) Akutagawa questions the sincerity of L. Tolstoy’s faith in God, interpreting the mythologeme “Leo Tolstoy and Religion” in an original way.

Formation of life-purpose identity in adolescent and junior age

Research background: the concept of “identity” is defined as a property of the human psyche to express in a concentrated form how one perceives his/her affiliation to various social, economic, national, professional, linguistic, political, religious, racial and other groups or other communities, or a person’s acceptance of the properties inherent in these groups or communities. The life-purpose identity is a fundamental parameter for defining one’s place in life, one’s value orientations and, above all, for affiliating oneself with the major social values of the modern society. Purpose of the research: theoretical justification, experimental representation and technological support of the process of life-purpose identity formation in adolescent and junior age. Methods: theoretical analysis and study of psychological literature on the problem under discussion, which included generalisation, comparison and systematisation of the obtained data. Empirical data collecting methods (testing). Methods of mathematical statistics (λ-Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Student t-test, Pearson linear correlation r-coefficient), Leontyev’s life-purpose orientation test, Karpov’s methods for determining the individual measure of reflexivity, Stolin’s and Pantileev’s self-attitude method, Sharov’s ontology of personal myth of life. Results and novelty: the article makes an attempt to delineate the problem-plagued field of one’s life-purpose identity; gives a representation of diagnostic results, substantiates and develops the technological support for the formation of life-purpose identity in adolescent and junior age. The technology of commemorative practices is used as a framework (reading of authentic texts; practice of commemorative speeches; family saga; legendisation of hero’s image; “School is my home”; “Time machine”; “Memory dialogue”; “Planets of childhood”; background commemorative practices; calendar-specific commemorative practices and others).

Littérature-médecine et scénographie du traumatisme psychologique dans "J'ai le SIDA" de Blasius Ngome

Literatura-medicina (2015) es una variante ficticia que aborda temas de enfermedades en el espacio literario. En J'ai le SIDA, Blasius Ngome presenta un personaje debilitado por una aprehensión psicológicamente desestabilizadora: se cree el portador de VİH/VİH. El autor conduce entonces al lector por el laberinto de una historia de suspenso cuya trama está puntuada por numerosas maniobras digestivas. ¿Cómo se desarrolla la narración de este malestar, que sumerge al héroe de Ngome en un traumatismo inquietante que lo subyuga desde el principio hasta el final de la historia? La sociocrítica y la psicocrítica guían nuestra reflexión. Ambos tienen en cuenta la inmanencia del análisis literario. Además, la primera teoría encaja hábilmente en la segunda, mientras que la segunda abre el camino a una "red embrujadora" y a un despliegue del "mito personal" del autor que se negocia a través de los elementos constitutivos de la diégesis. Concluimos examinando el esquema del mensaje del demiurgo ante esta pandemia que sigue haciendo estragos en las ciudades del mundo muchas décadas después del descubrimiento de su existencia. Literature-medicine (2015) is a fictional variant that addresses issues of disease in the literary space. In I have AIDS, Blasius Ngome presents a character weakened by a psychologically destabilising apprehension: he thinks he is the bearer of HIV/HIV. The author then leads the reader in the maze of a suspenseful story whose plot is punctuated by numerous digetic maneuvers. How does the narration of this malaise develop, which plunges the hero of Ngome into a haunting traumatism that subjugates him from the beginning to the end of the story? Socio-criticism and psycho-criticism guide our reflection. Both take into account the immanence of literary analysis. Moreover, the first theory fits skillfully into the second, while the second opens the way to a "bewitching network" and a display of the author's "personal myth" that is negotiated through the constituent elements of diegesis. We conclude by examining the outline of the demiurge's message in the face of this pandemic that continues to ravage in the cities of the world many decades after the discovery of its existence. La littérature-médecine est une variante fictive qui aborde les questions de la maladie dans l'espace littéraire. Dans J'ai le SIDA, Blasius Ngome présente un personnage affaibli par une appréhension psychologiquement déstabilisante : il pense être le porteur de VİH/VİH. L'auteur entraîne ensuite le lecteur dans le dédale d'une histoire à suspense dont la trame est ponctuée de nombreuses manœuvres d'espionnage. Comment se déroule la narration de ce malaise, qui plonge le héros de Ngome dans un traumatisme obsédant qui le subjugue du début à la fin de l'histoire ? La sociocritique et la psycho-critique guident notre réflexion. Toutes deux prennent en compte l'immanence de l'analyse littéraire. De plus, la première théorie s'intègre habilement dans la seconde, tandis que la seconde ouvre la voie à un "réseau obsédant" et à un déploiement du "mythe personnel" de l'auteur qui se négocie à travers les éléments constitutifs de la diégèse. Nous concluons en examinant les grandes lignes du message du démiurge face à cette pandémie qui fait toujours rage dans les villes du monde plusieurs décennies après la découverte de son existence.

Le potentiel théâtral chez David Foenkinos. Analyse du roman, du scénario et du film La Délicatesse

"The Theatrical Potential in David Foenkinos’ Work. Analysis of the Novel, the Scenario and the Film “La Délicatesse”. Our interest, especially when it comes to the subject of literature, is to show the manner in which the text processing done by the author (script writer/director) brings to light the guidelines of the novelistic text’s semantics, which under careful analysis reveals a kind of personal myth of the novelist. The skewed, syncopated, interrupted writing which disrupts the chronotope serves the needs of the script as well as the director’s selective vision. Unconsciously, the novel seems to follow the structure of the theatrical model. These traits can also be found in the cinematographic structure of the film. Keywords: love, eroticism, delicacy, theatricality, scenario, film. "
