Full textAbstract:
The topic of fiction is in itself not new to the domain of organization studies. However, prior research has often separated fiction from the reality of organizations and used fiction metaphorically or as a figurative source to describe and interpret organizations. In this article, we go beyond the classic use of fiction, and suggest that fiction should be a central concern in organization studies. We draw on the philosophy of fiction to offer an alternative account of the nature of fiction and its basic operation. We specifically import Searle’s work on speech acts, Walton’s pretense theory, Iser’s fictionalizing acts, and Ricoeur’s work on narrative fiction to theorize about organizations as fictions. In doing so, we hope that we not only offer an account of the “ontological status” of organizations but also provide a set of theoretical coordinates and lenses through which, separately or together, the notion of organizations as fictions can be approached and understood.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to convince the readers that more complex images of working women are needed, and that fiction may provide them. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, text analysis is done using a version of close reading. Findings Both media and research tend to simplify the images of working women, either in positive or negative way. Reality and some of its fictive representations offer more nuanced examples. Research limitations/implications Fiction can be treated as field material. Practical implications Women should dare more at workplaces. Social implications Researchers should join fiction writers in convincing society of the crucial role women play in contemporary organizations. Originality/value This paper belongs to the growing tradition of transdisciplinary organization studies.

Full textAbstract:
Fiction content analysis and retrieval are interesting specific topics for two major reasons: 1) the extensive use of fictional works; and, 2) the multimodality and interpretational nature of fiction. The primary challenge in the analysis of fictional content is that there is no single meaning to be analysed; the analysis is an ongoing process involving an interaction between the text produced by author, the reader and the society in which the interaction occurs. Furthermore, different audiences have specific needs to be taken into consideration. This article explores the topic of fiction knowledge organization, including both classification and indexing. It provides a broad and analytical overview of the literature as well as describing several experimental approaches and developmental projects for the analysis of fictional content. Traditional fiction indexing has been mainly based on the factual aspects of the work; this has then been expanded to handle different aspects of the fictional work. There have been attempts made to develop vocabularies for fiction indexing. All the major classification schemes use the genre and language/culture of fictional works when subdividing fictional works into subclasses. The evolution of shelf classification of fiction and the appearance of different types of digital tools have revolutionized the classification of fiction, making it possible to integrate both indexing and classification of fictional works.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, I argue for the benefits of encouraging the use of novels, short stories, plays, songs, poems, and films as legitimate approaches to the study of management and organization. In particular, I argue that these forms of narrative fiction provide a useful addition to our ways of thinking about organ izations and an indispensable approach to strengthening the connection between organizational analysis as an academic discipline and the subjective experience of organizational membership. I begin by arguing that the division between narrative fiction and traditional forms of organizational analysis is overdrawn — that organizational researchers and writers of fiction share important interests and use complementary methods in investigating social phenomena. In the latter portion of the article I suggest some specific applica tions of the techniques and products of narrative fiction including narrative fiction as a teaching tool, as a source of data, as a method for exploring the applicability of theoretical perspectives, and as a resource useful in embel lishing papers and presentations.

Full textAbstract:
Dystopia is a narrative form of fiction in general and of science fiction in particular. Using elements of science fiction discourse like time travel, space flight, advanced technologies, virtual reality, genetic engineering, etc. – dystopian narrative depicts future fictive societies presenting in peculiar prose style a future in which humanity has fallen into destruction, ruin and decline, in which human life and nature are wildly abused, exploited and destroyed, in which a totalitarian, highly centralized, and, therefore, oppressive social organization sacrifices individual expression, freedom of choice and idiosyncrasy of the society and its members. It is such critical and creative reflections of science fiction dystopian narrative that are focused on in the present case study with the aim of bringing out certain properties in terms of narrative types and devices, figurative discourse and cognitive notions through which science fiction dystopia expresses and conveys its overarching message, i.e. the warning to stop before it is too late to the reader.

Full textAbstract:
Novels espouse an epistemological freedom that is beyond even experimental forms of scholarly research and writing. Precisely this freedom makes novels so conducive to thought. Their enduring presence in organization studies demonstrates literary fiction’s power of conveying how things are, might be, or can be thought of; of inventing new ways of seeing; of enabling different vocabularies as well as staging and transmitting specific affects. In this paper, we trace the mutual ‘contamination’ between the novel and organization studies as well as discuss different modes of engaging prose fiction, drawing on Rancière’s ethical, representative and aesthetic regimes of art. With a special nod to Kafka’s novels and stories and also McCarthy’s Satin Island, we outline the contours of a literary study of organization and introduce the special themed section on ‘The Novel and Organization Studies’.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this essay is to revisit Guy Debord’s critical theory of the spectacle as formulated 50 years ago in the ‘Society of the Spectacle’ in light of the contemporary production of spectacles. Debord’s arguments about appearance, visibility and celebrity are echoed in the way organizations increasingly focus on their brand, image, impression, and reputation. Yet, the role of spectacles in organizational life has remained under-researched in organization studies. As the boundaries between fact and fiction, reality and representation, substance and appearance become increasingly blurred, questions about the production and effects of spectacles seem more pertinent than ever. Are representations faithful mirrors of reality, or attempts to conceal reality? Do they replace reality, or bring new realities into being? By articulating three possible understandings of the spectacle, as fetishism, hyper-reality or performativity, this essay invites organization scholars to examine the organization of the real and the making of organizations through processes of spectacular representation including discursive practices, visual images and theatrical performances.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the work of the Tomsk science fiction writer, member of the Union of Writers of the USSR Viktor Dmitrievich Kolupaev (1936-2001). The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the representation of the category of fiction space and time in the poetics of the fiction writer's short prose based on the novella "Dzyapiki" (1989). The theoretical basis of the research was made up of works devoted to the consideration of the spatio-temporal organization of the literary text in science fiction works. The practical significance of the article is that its materials and general conclusions can be used in the study of the history of Russian literature and Soviet fiction, regional literature in the framework of special courses. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the study of the spatio-temporal organization of Kolupaev's short prose, as well as in the involvement of a previously unexplored novella as a research material, which is important for understanding the originality of the author's fiction world. The three-part chronotope system is defined and analyzed, the originality of the time travel plot used for traditional science fiction in order to reveal social issues is revealed. Three chronotopes (the epoch of the Dziapiks, real time and their mixing), the characteristic features of which are represented in the landscapes and characters allow us to depict the shortcomings of the system that negatively affects a person.

Full textAbstract:
The article studies the mechanisms of interaction between documentary and fictional codes in O. Kolpakova’s work “Superpowers by Inheritance: My Soviet Grandfathers”, considered here as a translator of intergenerational ties. The author focuses on establishing the place of the family in the history of the country in different eras, which correlates with the purpose of our study – to determine the nature of the connection between non-fiction and fiction, past and present, which are presented in the story both in a dialogic unity and in opposition. The article concludes that the complex narrative organization of the work reflects the authorial concept of family history, allowing her not only to introduce the reader to the cultural and historical realities of a particular era, which is facilitated by the popular science commentary inserts by Ivan Privalov, but also to transmit the cultural codes that form the identity of the Russians (family, historical memory, respect for elders, love for one’s country and our homeland). The analysis shows that the dialectical relation between non-fiction and fiction is realized through the motif of “stories”, the conversation with the elder relatives is organized in accordance with the narrative models of Soviet literature, which makes an organic synthesis of non-fiction and fiction possible and does not presuppose a linear unfolding of the narrative. The article analyzes the ways of representation of the documentary in the story. The superpower motif, in the author’s opinion, enables her to reach the level of mythopoetic modelling of the national cultural code, which represents traditional values in the formulas that are topical for modern teenagers.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we develop a particular way of understanding literature and organization with the aim of drawing on and extending the relationship between the two. Hence our subtitle: exploring the seam. Although the use of literary concepts and theories within our discipline is now well established, the way in which such ideas are taken up often neglects debate and contestation by treating ‘literature’ as a relatively homogeneous field. By following some of the ardent debates relating to issues of representation, the relation between text and extra-textual reality, and literature’s disclosure of its status as fiction, we find a discussion of (social) organization at the heart of contemporary literary theory. It is the oscillation between literature and organization that structures this paper and gives us our argument: that ‘organization’ and ‘literature’ are mutually co-articulating and interdependent concepts and fields of enquiry.

Full textAbstract:
The modern directions of development of fan fiction as a media system that has acquired the characteristics of self-organization are actualized. Three stages of development of scientific views on the formation of the process of collective authorship are presented: from narrative criticism and isolation of media features of fandoms to comprehension of the facts of the reverse influence of fan fiction on culture and communication processes. On the example of the development of modern fan fiction space, the phenomena that express the communicative nature of the fan fiction community, as well as the network nature of its organization are proposed for analysis: creation of podcast systems; according to the logic of canonical blockbuster universes, the development of complex multi-story stories with the involvement of a large number of participants. The paradoxical phenomena that arise in this media system - the growth of original works not related to rethinking and implementing alternative lines of the canon, the emergence of the phenomenon of the passive spectator - are explained by the influence of general cultural trends and local national practices. Indirectly, the influence of fan-fiction activity is presented in various manifestations and trends: the phenomena of secondary and tertiary communication, the transformation of the fan into canonical texts for further fiction, the active departure of fans outside closed communities and the impact on modern cultural practices. Examples of the latter are illustrated by the use of fan fiction in writing scripts for series; creation of spin-products; taking into account fan thoughts when developing the plots of TV series and books. The prospects of communication research are motivated by the dynamics of growth of the object of study and the complexity of modern methods of analysis. The presence of contradictory tendencies and manifestations problematizes the finality and immutability of already established scientific approaches, forces to turn to technical approaches using big-date methods.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to apply literary theory and a work of literary fiction ( Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell) to the task of offering points of departure for new thinking about organization theory. To this end, I locate this article at the seam between organization and the literary, where I employ two concepts proposed by Deleuze (the fold and the rhizome), apply the semiotic square and discuss the relationship between form and content. An examination of Cloud Atlas is positioned in the middle of the article to reflect the idea that the literary is at the heart of organization and vice versa. In keeping with the literary spirit of Cloud Atlas, this article mirrors the following narrative pattern of the novel: A | B | C | D | C | B | A. By working the seam, I find a way of developing alternative metaphors, challenging prevailing ideological assumptions and problematizing current paradigm assumptions.

Full textAbstract:
The authors consider the peculiarities of using cinematographic genres in communication activities by organizations of aerospace industry. As organizations form an information space around them, it is important that the information that is present in it is positive and allows them to effectively influence the key audience. In today’s environment, information broadcast by traditional media is perceived with less interest. Therefore, organizations have to look for and develop new communication channels such as social networks, blogs, etc. Cinematography is of particular importance. It allows to realize such functions as entertainment, information, education, organization of social community, education. In the aerospace field, the implementation of an effective impact on the target audience has its own peculiarities, as this industry is strategically important for the country, potentially crisis-prone, and it is constantly riveted on public and media attention. In addition, the dissemination of certain information may be restricted by classifying data as part of a government, commercial or other secret specifically protected by law. Cinematographic works as a means of forming the information space of aerospace industry organizations in Russia are effective. They are used to form a positive image of the industry, organizations, professions, to promote products and services. Full-length and short films created in fiction and non-fiction genres allow transforming ways of interaction between communicator and audience, expanding communicative possibilities of space, accelerating information exchange.

Full textAbstract:
The emphatic style of paragraphemics (active non-normative use of font variation and planar text organization) and syntactic partition (breaking or weakening of syntactic links in a sentence) are complex text properties that increase its discreteness in terms of visual organization and syntactic structure, respectively. The autonomy of these two integral properties of the text is due to the fact that their implementation belongs to different aspects of the text. Emphatic style and syntactic partition, when combined within a single text, can strengthen and reinforce each other, which is reflected in the coordination of syntactic structure, graphics (punctuation) and paragraphemics (emphasis, indentation). They are also able to form two relatively independent layers of text organization, which, nevertheless, equally contribute to the fragmentation of the text and increase its discreteness.

Full textAbstract:
The features of the organization of the artistic world of a fantastic work are considered. The material was the works of O. Gromyko, written in the genre of fantasy. The main parameters of the organization of the artistic world are analyzed: artistic space, artistic time and the picture of the heroes’ world, understood as a system of their value attitudes and rules. The relevance of the study is due not only to the wide popularity of works of science fiction, but also to the ability to analyze the linguistic means of creating a “secondary world” using this material. The scientific novelty of this work is seen in the fact that linguistic nominative means of forming the main categories of the artistic world: space, time and the picture of the world are investigated. It is shown that the understanding of a fantastic work as a special “otherness of reality” is associated in literary science with the problem of artistic convention. Attention is paid to the description of the main scientific approaches to understanding the primary and secondary artistic conventions. It is noted that the idea of creating a special artistic world in fiction correlates with secondary conventions and fiction, which are interpreted as essential features of any work of art. The author concludes that the exceptional plausibility of the universe under consideration is due to the conceptuality, associativity and duality of the created narrative.

Full textAbstract:
Fantasy and science fiction genres extensively use imaginary settings and locations different from realistic ones but striving to look real. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, pioneers of the science fiction genre in Russia, actively exploited the potential of both genres in their early tale, Monday starts on Saturday (1964), which combines features of the two space types. The present paper analyses the principles of creating ‘mago-space’ in the book. To do so, we look at the spatial organization of the events involved in the plot and the personages’ ideas regarding space. The research will enable us to clarify the role of space in conveying the authors’ message, which in this tale is quite explicit. We argue that the space changes significantly within the book, accompanying genre transformations and the development of the protagonist. Since the tale uses ‘mental sublocations’ as the main units of spatial organization, each part is determined by a certain type of cultural heritage. In the first part, it is the mental space of folklore and classical literature, in the second – that of mythology and science fiction, and in the final – philosophy and science. Mental spaces that coexist and follow various laws form a narrative which turns out to be a journey to the described present in the variety of its forms.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: Using as exemplars novels of evangelical inspirational fiction writer Francine Rivers, this article explores how Christian faith is represented as manifest in the emotional lives of characters in inspirational fiction novels. These novels invoke a particularly evangelical way of anchoring Biblical scripture to a modified "typological" understanding of history, that, in turn, anchors characterological claims to moral agency which are grounded in "tropological" or "moral" forms of scriptural interpretation. This narrative organization or "chronotope" models a kind of faith-informed, emotionally centered practice of viewing one's own life and situation that that is widely mobilized in American evangelical culture.

Abstract The aim of the present study is to investigate how the consumption of geek products acts in the identity of individuals who see themselves as members of this urban tribe. Geeks are taken as committed members fascinated by topics related to fantasy and science fiction universes; if we take into account a micro-scale, they form an identity territory. Based on its theoretical approach, the goal of the current research lies on promoting a dialogue between studies that have adopted the consumer culture theory (CCT) and organizational identity research, by taking into consideration that urban tribes are a kind of organization. The research corpus comprised interviews with seventeen people who identify themselves as geeks; these interviews were analyzed based on thematic categorization. Based on then results, geek-products’ consumption starts at childhood and goes all the way to adulthood; this process is influenced by characters in the fantasy and fiction universes. The consumed products hold symbolic elements of fantasy and fiction, so that they end up representing the extension of this tribe’s members ‘self’; moreover, they are a way of building collective identities within an urban tribe, in this case, geeks. We have shown that organizational identity studies can lead to greater dialogue with CCT in order to better understand complexities added to identity and multiple affiliations, and links in the identity construction of people forming an organization.

Full textAbstract:
In the early twentieth century, Boris Savinkov organized assassinations for the Combat Organization of the Party of Socialist-Revolutionaries (PSR). He was not only a Russian revolutionary terrorist but also a fiction writer who wrote about political violence. With the publication of The Pale Horse (1909) and What Never Happened: A Novel of the Revolution (1912), many critics assumed Savinkov became disillusioned with political violence on moral grounds. I argue instead his works question the effectiveness of the PSR’s terrorism on political grounds by revealing the Party’s failed attempts to organize terrorist acts with consistent results. With his fiction, Savinkov problematizes his culture’s desire to create a heroic myth of the revolutionary terrorist as a martyr.

Any fiction text accomplishes a communicative function, that’s why an author needs any certain phonostylistic means to draw the reader's attention for creating a particular emotional image or mood.

AbstractAnalyses of nuclear fiction have tended to focus on the literature of the United States, particularly that of the 1950s. This article not only switches attention to British literature, but makes the case for the 1980s as a nuclear decade, arguing that the late Cold War context, especially renewed fears of global conflict, produced a distinctive nuclear literature and culture. Taking its cue from E.P. Thompson's rewriting of the British government's civil-defence slogan, ‘Protect and Survive’, as ‘Protest and Survive’, it identifies a series of issues – gender and the family, the environment and socio-economic organization – through which competing nuclear discourses can be read. In particular, it argues, British fiction of this period functions by undercutting the idea that protection is possible. Hence, although few nuclear texts advocate particular policy positions, they are characterized by a politics of vulnerability. Proposing for the first time the existence of a distinctive 1980s nuclear culture, it seeks to suggest the broad parameters within which further research might take place.

Introduction. The problem of improving the level of teaching in the field of general and vocational education is one of the most significant in modern pedagogy. In this regard, modern didactics carefully study the legacy of their outstanding predecessors, – teachers of the past. Among such scientists who have left a unique mark in pedagogical science and practice is the American teacher Helen Parkhurst (1886-1973). Materials and methods. Research methods, – analysis of historical and pedagogical, methodological and fiction literature on the research topic, biographical, historical and comparative methods, axiological (value) approach to the study of methodological innovations by H. Parkhurst. Results. American teacher-innovator Helen Parkhurst, alongside with Maria Montessori, violated the monopoly of men on the right to be considered a major scientist in the field of pedagogy. Her pedagogical activity included the desire for constant professional self-improvement, the search for new ways to solve the pedagogical problems that confronted her. Her main methodological achievement was the development of the Dalton plan, according to which she successfully rebuilt the work in one of the American schools. The methodological innovation of Parkhurst was approved first by teachers in the USA, and then everywhere in the world. In the USSR in the 1920s and 1930s, this method was also actively used, although without much success. The application of the Dalton plan in the Soviet school was reflected in a number of works of fiction (M. G. Rozanov, N. I. Kochin). Conclusion. Helen Parkhurst's methodological ideas are in great demand today and are actively used in modern educational practice in many countries of the world, including Russia. At the same time, their positive potential has not yet been fully explored and mastered, so the legacy of H. Parkhurst deserves further careful study by didactics and historians of pedagogy.

Full textAbstract:
The neuronal networks that generate locomotion are well understood in swimming animals such as the lamprey, zebrafish and tadpole. The networks controlling locomotion in tetrapods remain, however, still enigmatic with an intricate motor pattern required for the control of the entire limb during the support, lift off, and flexion phase, and most demandingly when the limb makes contact with ground again. It is clear that the inhibition that occurs between bursts in each step cycle is produced by V2b and V1 interneurons, and that a deletion of these interneurons leads to synchronous flexor–extensor bursting. The ability to generate rhythmic bursting is distributed over all segments comprising part of the central pattern generator network (CPG). It is unclear how the rhythmic bursting is generated; however, Shox2, V2a and HB9 interneurons do contribute. To deduce a possible organization of the locomotor CPG, simulations have been elaborated. The motor pattern has been simulated in considerable detail with a network composed of unit burst generators; one for each group of close synergistic muscle groups at each joint. This unit burst generator model can reproduce the complex burst pattern with a constant flexion phase and a shortened extensor phase as the speed increases. Moreover, the unit burst generator model is versatile and can generate both forward and backward locomotion.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on the linguocognitive aspect in the analysis of the fictional text syntax. The analysis of syntactic structures as ways of reflecting the mental categories of the author's consciousness allows considering a fictional text as an intermediary between the author and the reader. Analysis of the text syntactic organization in the linguocognitive aspect makes it possible to describe it as a system of interacting mental situations, implemented in the development of text fragments. This helps to characterize the macrostructure of fictional prose texts, identify and describe the montage fragment as the main unit of analysis, and correlate it with the concept of a situation model. This provides an opportunity to model the reader's perception strategy, reveal the specifics of the spatio-temporal organization of the text, the dynamics of changing viewpoints and the system of modus text organization at the level of its macrostructure.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines modern French adjective and nominative constructions with a qualitative adjective, a noun defined by it and a dependent prepositional noun, complement to the adjective. The adjective in such construction is a predicate adjective that assigns semantic roles and category features to its arguments. The rection of the adjective is a transitive usage of adjective, and the adjectives that enable such usage are included in the inter-part-of-speech lexico-semantic field of relation. The topicality of the research is determined by insufficient knowledge of rection of the adjective in the modern Romanic studies. This paper offers a new systemic approach to the predicate adjectives of relation and their semantic valences. Prototypical attributes, relevant to the French transitive adjectives, were formulated. It was established that predicate adjectives of relation constitute a dynamical system and are disposed according to the degree of expression of their features from the center to the periphery inside the system and its sub-systems. As a result, semantic roles of predicative actants of each particular system were described and the role of hidden grammar categories of nouns in the differentiation of meanings of governing adjectives and of their explicitly expressed arguments was elucidated. Methods used are contextual analysis, componential analysis, synonymic transformation and paraphrasing. The linguistic material for this study was French works of fiction of 19th and 20th centuries and modern French dictionaries.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, 194 World Health Organization member states called on the international organization to develop a global campaign to combat ageism, citing its alarming ubiquity, insidious threat to health, and prevalence in the media. Existing media studies of age stereotypes have mostly been single-sourced. This study harnesses a 1.1-billion-word media database comprising the British National Corpus and Corpus of Contemporary American English—with genres including spoken/television, fiction, magazines, newspapers—to provide a comprehensive view of ageism in the United Kingdom and United States. The US and UK were chosen as they are home to the largest media conglomerates with tremendous power to shape public opinion. The most commonly used synonym of older adults was identified, and its most frequently used descriptors were analyzed for valence. Such computational linguistics techniques represent a new advance in studying aging narratives. The key finding is consistent, though no less alarming: Negative descriptions of older adults outnumber positive ones by six times. Negative descriptions tend to be physical, while positive ones tend to be behavioral. Magazines contain the highest levels of ageism, followed by the spoken genre, newspapers, and fiction. Findings underscore the need to increase public awareness of ageism and lay the groundwork to design targeted societal campaigns to tackle ageism—one of our generation’s most pernicious threats.

The space, that the raw material of design studio contents in disciplines related to spatial design, is a delimited space in the simplest terms. The totality of relations created in this delimited volume is associated with certain organizational form, such as central, linear, clustered, gridal and radial. This study aimed to investigate those organizational forms based on student process outputs of 17 students, completed the Design Studio-I course during the 2022-2023 Fall Semester at the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Fenerbahce University. Also it is aimed to created a space fiction by using basic design elements and to reveal student approaches in this process. The study was designed with qualitative research method and content analysis was used as the data collection technique. In this direction, the process stages and outputs performed by the students for the given problem in the studio environments were analyzed. As a result of the analyzes, the form analysis of the two-dimensional photo frames by using the design elements and the transformation process of this analysis into the space organization has been revealed. Thus, an application for the way of benefiting from design elements in the process of space organization has been showed.

Full textAbstract:
The Science of Communicating Science by Dr. Craig Cormick is a lively introduction to the foundational principles of science communications, particularly those oriented towards the public. Dr. Craig Cormick is a well-known science communicator and former president of the Australian Science Communicators, a network of science communicators and journalists. Cormick has also written over 30 books of fiction and non-fiction---in addition to academic articles---and has worked with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), which incidentally also published his textbook. The Science of Communicating Science operates on the premise that science communication is a complex process requiring extensive and time-consuming interdisciplinary research. Cormick's textbook aims to simplify the learning process by distilling well over 400 sources into a compact volume so that novice science communicators may learn important skills for informing and empowering the public by telling engaging stories, fostering interdisciplinary skills, and understanding the audience.

The article explores the stylistic diversity of alternate history literary texts on the example of works belonging to different national literatures, namely A. Anikin's novella «Death in Dresden», F.K. Dick's novel «The Man in the High Castle» and K. Newman's novel «Anno Dracula». In the course of the analysis, the following problems have been considered: why the variety of styles is characteristic of the alternate history genre, whether the stylistic models of the classical and fantastic types of alternate history novels differ, thanks to which method of narrative organization a sense of narrative authenticity is created, and in which cases the reader immediately manages to understand that what is written is fiction. The results can be used in the further development of the typology of alternate history fiction and the identification of trends in the development of the modern literary process. The article uses typological, structural and cultural-historical methods of literary analysis.

Full textAbstract:
This article researches the role of contemporary children’s historical fiction as well as fiction with social and political topics that use the elements of fairytales or fantasy to form historical and political (or civil) views of children. The use of artistic devices typical for fairytales is discussed in the article in a frame of the possibility of making historical information attractive and understandable for a young reader, even in such difficult cases as wars, political repressions, or authoritarian governments. This way the authors of books discussed in the article are able to tell much more about the essence of historical events and/or to create the conditions for understanding of the political organization of the society than if they would stay strictly with the realistic genres. For learning purposes, historical fairytales and fairytales discussing politics allow to meet very complicated educational challenges that satisfy a particular interest in history and/or politics natural for small children and to create the motivation to master the historical material.

Full textAbstract:
Marriage is a supposedly sacrosanct establishment in each community. It is the perceived social organization for building up and keeping up the family as well as for making and supporting the ties of connection. Conjugal disharmony is characterized as a battle between individuals with contradicting needs, thoughts, convictions, qualities, or goals. The disharmonized character's quest for satisfaction is a typical theme in contemporary fiction. Anita Desai is considered an authority on uncovering the issue of present-day women in India. She is increasingly worried about the inward situation of her estranged protagonist in the modern, patriarchal society. In her novels, she has depicted the man-lady relationship and the untold sufferings of ladies out of the connubial disharmony. Desai's novel Cry, the Peacock is considered as the initial phase toward mental fiction in Indian writing in English. This paper talks about the connubial disharmony between Maya and Gautama and its outcomes in Anita Desai's Cry, the Peacock.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the international circuit of fictional texts from the last fifty years (perhaps even one hundred years, in some cases), several independent international organizations, academic and editorial platforms of critique and debate have been established. They have been organizing international contests, fine authorities of critical appreciation, evaluation and awarding of most prolific authors and most successful fictional texts: novels, short stories, stories or utopian and dystopian fictions. The allotment on cultural corridors, the geographical identification of both author and title dynamics which have been nominated at the most prestigious international awards for fiction demonstrates an increased emergence of several zones where wide international circulation texts were seldom, fifty years ago. In this paper, we suggest a reinterpretation and a comprehension of the political context from the contemporary fiction, by regrouping in one category, the three classical genres (historic novel, social novel, political novel) and also the universal fiction which implies characters and relations of power. Thus, we create a category which is known as „political fiction”. The increased individualization of this literary macro-genre called „political fiction” is also a creative answer to the high speed of circulation and at the general international amplitude with which contemporary socio-political novels are distributed.

Full textAbstract:
Julian Huxley, founder and the first Director-General of UNESCO, is at the heart of contemporary debates on the nature and objectives of the concept of transhumanism, which he first used in the early 1950s. Therefore, the analysis of his idea of transhumanism - a tool to improve the quality of life and the condition of man - should lead us to question his heritage in terms of philosophy that inspires UNESCO’s action as it seeks to build a comprehensive approach to artificial intelligence that takes into account, among other things, the values and principles of universal ethics and aims to derive the best from the use of this technology. This title where the British biologist, the elder brother of the famous science fiction writer, Aldous Huxley, author of the Brave New World, coexists with the United Nations Organization in charge of Education of Science and Culture is obvious for those who know the history of this international organization or who like radio games: Julian Huxley was appointed as the first Director-General of UNESCO in 1946. But, beyond this evidence, there is a deeper link that highlights the history of the renewal of the idea of transhumanism (I) and questions about the role that UNESCO has, among the other international organizations (II).

Full textAbstract:
This article concerns English proper noun modifiers denoting organizations, people and places and their German and Swedish correspondences. It supplements previous studies touching upon contrastive comparisons by providing large-scale systematic findings on the translation correspondences of the three aforementioned semantic types. The data are drawn from the Linnaeus University English–German–Swedish Corpus (LEGS), which contains popular non-fiction, a genre previously not studied in connection with proper noun modifiers. The results show that organization-based modifiers are the most common and person-based ones the rarest in English originals. Compounds are the most frequent correspondences in German and Swedish translations and originals with genitives and prepositional phrases as other common options. The preference for compounds is stronger in German, while it is stronger for prepositional phrases in Swedish translations, reflecting earlier findings on language-specific tendencies. Organization-based modifiers tend to be translated into compounds, and place-based modifiers into prepositional phrases. German and Swedish translators relatively often opt for similar target-language structures. Two important target-language differences emerge: (i) compounds with complex heads are dispreferred in Swedish (US news show > *USA-nyhetsprogram) but unproblematic in German (US-Nachrichtensendung), and (ii) compounds with acronyms (WTO ruling > WTO-Entscheidung) are more frequent in German.

The article covers the introduction of Yiddish publishing activities, initiated by the Jewish civic and cultural-educational organization “Kultur-Lige” in the period from 1918 to 1931. The research analyzes the historical context and preconditions of the organization beginning in the 19th century. Among the main preconditions, the author highlights the rapid modernization of Eastern European Jewry, the proclamation of Yiddish as one of the many national languages at the inter-party conference on Yiddish in Chernivtsi in 1908, and the revolutionary events of the first half of the twentieth century. In addition, the article encloses the concept of secular Jewish culture proposed by members of the Kultur-Lige and ways of its implementation through printed Yiddish-language products, the main "marketplaces" of Yiddish textbooks, teaching materials, fiction, periodicals. The article analyzes the printed products of the Kultur-Lige, after preliminary structuring and systematization of publications by category: the sources were divided into a layer of textbooks, teaching and learning materials, children's books, and fiction. The authors of the educational books, textbooks, and books for children were usually young Jewish writers and members of the Literature section of Kultur-Lige. The main consumer of such Yiddish books were the educational institutions established by the Kultur-Lige. Specifically, the Jewish public Yiddish schools, public libraries, and reading rooms, as well as Jewish Public University. Educational institutions organized by Kultur-Lige provided education for all categories of the Jewish community. The article also includes some information about the book design of Kultur-Lige artists. Among the illustrators was Mark Chagall, Sara Shor, Eliezer Lissitzky, Joseph Chaikov, Mark Epstein, etc. This organization provided unique opportunities to implement their artistic idea in the area of book illustrations. Besides that, the article includes information about the print run of some books and the financial sources of the publishing section

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the views of Russian classics on the Orthodox empire, proves the deep understanding of the term ‘statehood’ by the writers and poets. Much attention is paid by the author of the article to the problem of the harmonious balance between law and mercy. In Russia the sovereign was treated not as a person who established rules and could violate justice, but as the highest judge on earth, who had the opportunity to act not according to the law but according to a special mercy. The paper provides the view of modern lawyers on the principle of mercy in Russian law. The absence of legislative enshrinement of this principle is regarded by the author of the article as the preservation in today's Russia of the proportions between the legal formalization of norms and the existing Orthodox covenants and holy traditions. The paper indicates an inaccurate understanding of the views of many writers on the figure of the emperor. Science has not completely refuted the myths about Pushkin as an opponent of autocracy and a supporter of democratic freedoms or Nekrasov as a revolutionary-minded poet, created in the Soviet era but still supported by some researchers. A comparison of Tolstoy’s fiction works and his non-fiction writings shows the writer's ambivalent attitude toward the highest authority. However, Tolstoy condemns not the very organization of power structures, but rather the arbitrariness encouraged by people at the local level, who do not cope with their duties and welter in vice. In the literary worlds of Tolstoy, the idea of the only way to correct injustices committed at the state level is associated with the image of the emperor. Using a number of examples, the article proves that, with a deep vision of the problems of public life, faults and errors of officials at various levels, our classics realized the value of a single strong centralized power of the sovereign.
