Abstract:
The article is dedicated to the study of the intermedial codes in the fantastic works written by the Bulgarian writers of the 20th-21st centuries. Intermediality as a form of interconnectedness of different types of art is challenging for literature research. The aim of the article is to study the interaction of verbal and audio (music), verbal and visual (pictorial art, architectural models), verbal and performing/synthetic (cinema, theatre) arts. The object of the research is the Bulgarian fantastic literature of the 20th-21st centuries, where the subject is codes of intermediality. The method of intermedial studies proves to be fruitful for this type of research work. As a result, it is stated that the variants of ekphrasis (picture-ekphrasis, urboekphrasis, oikoekphrasis, musical ekphrasis), “ekphrastic transition” and the interaction of verbal and audio, verbal and visual, verbal and synthetic arts are implemented in the Bulgarian fantastic literature of the 20th-21st centuries.

The article discusses the genre of hagiography and changes in the hagiographic composition of the lives of saints of the 20th century. It is indicated that a distinctive feature of the “new” hagiographies is not only the exact indication of the year and place of birth of the saint, but also the inclusion in the text of interrogation reports, excerpts from diaries, letters, and photographs too. The genre of biographies of Russian martyrs and confessors, canonized at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries, is analysed.

Abstract:
The research examines, theoretically and historically and literarily, the modern French novel of the late 20th and early 21st centuries as the “main genre” of fiction; characteristics of the functioning of novelistic genres in a period of transition; new forms of novelistic thought, new artistic strategies and aesthetic experiences of the French novel. In the French literature of the last decades, the interest in the specificities of the new novelistic form has increased. There were essays, monographs, and articles on the modern novel, but there are no systemic and holistic studies that detail the functioning of the novel form in contemporary times. In domestic literature, the French novel of the early 20th century, 50-80s, has been studied quite deeply, but the literature of the late 20th and early 21st centuries has still been analyzed too little.

Abstract:
The article analyzes and systematizes results of Russian research in German and Russian Expressionism for the past 17 years. The focus of the author are both great collective research projects on history and theory of Russian and German literature, which includes Expressionism as an integral part of the literary process, and individual studies of literary critics and linguists. The geography of Russian study of Expressionism covers research centers in Universities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhni Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, Samara and in Austrian libraries (Yekaterinburg, Nizhni Novgorod). The research has four main directions. The first, the most traditional, focuses its forces on the study of new literary material and personalities, unknown literary texts and historical and literary facts. The second direction works with well-known texts, but operates with the latest scientific tools and provides a different understanding of the known material. The third direction is interdisciplinary and uses synthetic methods. The fourth is the comparative and typological direction, an important part of which is translation theory and practice.

Vincent, Alana M. "Memorialisation and Jewish Theology in the 20th and 21st centuries : monument, narrative, liturgy." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2010. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2006/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the relationship between the understanding of the past and the practice of theology. It is built around three major case studies: the history of interpretation of the commandment to blot out the memory of Amalek (Deuteronomy 25:17-19), the commemoration of the First World War in Canada, and the development of post-Holocaust theology. Linking these cases are issues of theological response to (or justification for) violence, and tensions between individual and collective identity. Part I focuses on Deuteronomy 25:17-19, and the internal contradiction between the commandments to remember and blot out the memory of Amalek. The passage is analysed both in terms of language and reception history, with special attention paid to Rabbinic interpretations from the 19th and 20th centuries (sermons and commentaries generated during or immediately after the German Reform movement, the American Civil War, and the Nazi occupation of Poland). This reading prompts two further strands of analysis, which are pursued separately: the distinction between the remembering commanded in the passage and concepts of memory active in the Western philosophical tradition prior to the 20th century, and the place this passage has in a larger tradition of religious and secular discourse on acceptable justifications for violence, again in both Jewish and more broadly Western thought. Part II takes up these themes, beginning with an historically contextualised reading of two versions of Antigone—one written by Sophocles in the early days of the Athenian Empire, and the other by Jean Anouilh during the Second World War. Both of these focus on a dead body as the site of ideological contestation between divergent identity narratives—a conflict that is also apparent in negotiations over the memorialisation of the First World War, which is the main focus of this part. A close reading of novels from L. M. Montgomery‘s Anne of Green Gables series, published before, during, and just after the war reveals that the First World War partly destabilised the individual-focused structures of memorialisation that were in place prior to its beginning, in favour of structures which enforced the collective identity of the soldiers who died in the war; while much of this instability could be (and was) addressed in existing theological language, the war nevertheless left a mark on Canadian society and religious practice. This part concludes with an examination of the Canadian National Monument at Vimy, conducted via archival documentation of the monument‘s design and construction and then through a reading of The Stone Carvers, a recent novel which re-imagines the circumstances documented in the archives through the eyes of one war veteran and his family. This dual reading also demonstrates the instability of memorials, the tendency of their meaning to shift over time. Part III commences with a discussion of the shift in memorial forms precipitated by the Holocaust. I contend that the tendency to memorialise the Holocaust with complex museum narratives betrays an anxiety about the intended audience of these memorials, which points in turn to the degree to which the Holocaust upset previous cultural and religious worldviews. This section focuses on theological and literary attempts to record and respond to the ruptures caused by the Holocaust, with specific reference to two recent novels by Jewish Candian women which, taken together, provide a constructive interruption to overly tidy narratives of national and religious identity.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse s’articule autour de trois champs littéraires : études environnementales, études arctiques, et littérature de voyage. Elle s’attache essentiellement à traiter des responsabilités éthiques d’un étranger(e) arrivant dans une région isolée comme l’Alaska, avec ses démographies diverses et ses biomes uniques. Dans cette perspective, la discussion des questions environnementales se retrouve très souvent en première ligne de la conversation dans la littérature de voyage “moderne”.Le terme “moderne” est ici mis entre guillemets car il est fondamentalement subjectif. L’ère de l’Alaska moderne peut être délimitée par divers marqueurs chronologiques, notamment ce millénaire, avec son basculement par le changement climatique et les discussions autour des droits d’animaux. Cependant, deux autres dates sont plus incisives : 1977 lorsque le pétrole a commencé à s’écouler de Prudhoe Bay sur la côte arctique vers Valdez, traversant l’état dans le Trans-Alaska Pipeline System ; et 1959 quand l’Alaska est devenu officiellement le 49ème Etat des Etats-Unis. C’est finalement cette dernière date qui a été retenue, la précédente symbolisant plutôt la culmination d’un long processus qui avait déjà bouleversé l’identité de l’Etat de lui-même, y compris par l’ouverture de vannes financières pour remplir la caisse du gouvernement.Six oeuvres primaires ont été sélectionnées, de 1959 à nos jours, avec une approche de la diversité : des intérêts, des démographies, de la chronologie, de la géographie, et du style. Les oeuvres sont Oomingmak: The Expedition to Musk Ox Island in the Bering Sea (1967) de Peter Matthiessen ; Coming into the Country: Travels in Alaska (1977) de John McPhee ; Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986) de Barry Lopez ; Ancient Land, Sacred Whale: The Inuit Hunt and its Rituals (1993) de Tom Lowenstein ; Passage to Juneau: A Sea and its Meanings (1999) de Jonathan Raban ; et Beluga Days: Tracking a White Whale’s Truths (2003) de Nancy Lord. Ces oeuvres explorent des gammes géographiques et démographiques de la côte arctique du nord- ouest et sa culture Iñupiat, l’Alaska du sud-ouest des Yup’ik, le Cook Inlet et le bol d’Anchorage et ses autochtones urbains ainsi que ses Dena’ina, l’intérieur de l’Alaska et ses Athabaskan, et les Tlingits et Haidas du sud-est.La thèse est structurée en trois parties : une historiographie qui cadre la politique et la culture de l’Alaska moderne ; une analyse littéraire directe des oeuvres primaires, déclinée sur différents thèmes ; et une application prescriptive éclairée par la méta-discussion actuelle dans les études environnementales
This thesis is centered around three primary literary focuses: environmental studies, Arctic studies, and travel writing. Essentially, the subject to be treated is the ethical responsibilities of an outsider when entering into an isolated region such as Alaska, with its extraordinary demographic diversity and unique biomes, particularly when discussing environmental issues, which are very often at the forefront of conversation in “modern” travel writing.As for parameters, “modern” is in quotations as the term is inherently subjective. The modern Alaska timeframe could be set up in numerous ways, including this millennium, with its shift into climate change and animal rights discussions, but two other dates are more trenchant: 1977 when the first oil flowed from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Coast latitudinally southward to Valdez on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, and 1959 when Alaska officially became the 49th US state. The latter date was chosen, as the former was merely the culmination of a long process that had already upended the state’s identity of itself, including the arrival of ostensibly endless flows of money into government coffers.Furthermore, six primary works were chosen, from 1959 to the present moment, with an eye toward diversity: of interests, of demographics, of chronology, of geography, and of style. The works are Peter Matthiessen’s Oomingmak: The Expedition to Musk Ox Island in the Bering Sea (1967); John McPhee’s Coming into the Country: Travels in Alaska (1977); Barry Lopez’ Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986); Tom Lowenstein’s Ancient Land, Sacred Whale: The Inuit Hunt and its Rituals (1993); Jonathan Raban’s Passage to Juneau: A Sea and its Meanings (1999); and Nancy Lord’s Beluga Days: Tracking a White Whale’s Truths (2003). These six works explore geographic and demographic ranges from the Northwest Arctic coast of Iñupiat culture, Southwest Alaska of the Yup’ik, Cook Inlet and Anchorage Bowl Urban Native and Dena’ina culture, Interior Alaska Athabaskan culture, and Southeast Alaska Tlingit and Haida culture.The thesis is ordered into three parts: a historiography framing the current political and cultural moment in the state; a direct literary analysis of the primary works, broken up into themes discussed therein; and a prescriptive application informed by the current meta-discussion taking place in environmental studies

Abstract:
La col•lecció de narrativa eròtica «La sonrisa vertical» (Barcelona: Tusquets Editores) nasqué en plena transició democràtica, el 1977, a càrrec de Luis García Berlanga i Beatriz de Moura, amb un doble propòsit: rescatar un gènere literari fins aquell moment censurat per les lleis franquistes i apostar per la narrativa de joves autors, tant en llengua catalana com espanyola. L’interès d’una col•lecció d’aquestes característiques no és exclusivament literari, ja que, donada l’ època turbulenta en la qual es va gestar i l’aposta ideològica editorial, va albergar volums amb una notable voluntat de ruptura política i moral. En aquest sentit, no van escassejar les representacions de personatges amb sexualitats heterodoxes, entre les quals, donada la legislació vigent (Llei de Perillositat i Rehabilitació Social), bé s’hi podrien incloure les de lesbianes, gais i persones trans. Aquesta tesi doctoral pretén oferir una anàlisi de les molt diverses creacions d’autors espanyols i hispanoamericans que, en especial, van afavorir la representació de personatges lèsbics entre 1977 i 2014 amb l’objectiu de valorar la seva identitat literària i la seva rellevància històrica i social.
La colección de narrativa erótica «La sonrisa vertical» (Barcelona: Tusquets Editores) nació en plena transición democrática, en 1977, de la mano de Luis García Berlanga y Beatriz de Moura, con un doble propósito: rescatar un género literario hasta aquel momento censurado por las leyes franquistas y apostar por la narrativa de jóvenes autores, tanto en lengua catalana como española. El interés de una colección de estas características no es exclusivamente literario, ya que, dada la época turbulenta en que se gestó y la apuesta ideológica de la editorial, albergó volúmenes con una notable voluntad de ruptura política y moral. En este sentido, no escasearon las representaciones de personajes con sexualidades heterodoxas, entre las cuales, dada la legislación vigente (Ley de Peligrosidad y Rehabilitación Social), bien podrían incluirse las de lesbianas, gais y personas trans. Esta tesis doctoral pretende ofrecer un análisis de las muy diversas creaciones de autores españoles e hispanoamericanos que, en especial, favorecieron la representación de personajes lésbicos entre 1977 y 2014 con el objetivo de valorar su entidad literaria y su relevancia histórica y social.
The collection of erotic narrative «La sonrisa vertical» (Barcelona: Tusquets Editores) was born in full democratic transition, in 1977, it was created by Luis García Berlanga and Beatriz de Moura, with a double purpose: a genre up to that moment censored by the laws rescuing Francoists and betting on the narrative of young authors, both in Catalan and Spanish. The interest of a collection of these characteristics is not exclusively literary, since, the turbulent period in which it was gestated and the ideological bet of the publishing company, lodged volumes with a remarkable will of political and moral breach. In this sense, the representations of characters with heterodox sexualities were not scarce, among which, given the current legislation (Law of Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation), well those of lesbians, gays and people could be included trans. This Ph. D. dissertation intends to offer an analysis of the very different creations of Spanish and Latin American authors who, especially, favoured the representation of lesbian characters between 1977 and 2014 with the aim of valuing their literary entity and their historical and social relevance.

Full text
Abstract:
L’œuvre de Joan Ganhaire (Jean Ganiayre en français) est d’une exceptionnelle richesse. Cet auteur contemporain, qui a fait de l’occitan limousin son unique langue d’écriture, a abordé des genres littéraires variés : nouvelles fantastiques, « nhòrlas » [histoires drôles], romans de cape et d’épée, romans policiers, sans compter une forme de poésie en prose qui affleure dans de nombreux textes. Sous son apparente diversité, cette œuvre est d’une grande cohérence par ses thèmes, par ses images, par ses « biais de dire » [façons de s’exprimer] récurrents. Elle peut se lire à des niveaux multiples et ouvre sur des possibilités d’interprétation très différentes selon le point de vue que l’on adopte, interprétations qui se croisent et s’enrichissent mutuellement. Hanté par les questions de la mort, de la violence omniprésente et de l’absurdité du monde, à la fois en tant qu’homme et par sa profession de médecin, Ganhaire, comme de nombreux auteurs des XXe et XXIe siècles, leur oppose le rire et la dérision comme un ultime pied de nez. Son œuvre est un hommage à l’imaginaire limousin, en relation étroite avec la nature, et dont il s’est senti imprégné dès l’enfance. Elle en propose une expression contemporaine, irriguée et hybridée par les imaginaires de grandes figures de la littérature mondiale, mais aussi par d’autres arts comme le cinéma
The work of Joan Ganhaire (in French Jean Ganiayre) is of exceptional richness. This contemporary author, who made the Limousin Occitan his only language of writing, addressed various literary genres : fantastic short stories, «nhòrlas» [funny short stories], cape and sword novels, detective novels, not to mention a form of poetry in prose that outcrops in many texts. Under its apparent diversity, this work is very consistent because of its themes, its images, and its recurring « biais de dire » [ways of saying]. It can be read at multiple levels and opens up very different possibilities of interpretation depending on the point of view adopted, interpretations that cross and enrich each other. Haunted by the questions of death, of the omnipresent violence and of the world’s absurdity, both as a man and by his profession as a doctor, Ganhaire, like many authors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, opposes them laught and derision like an ultimate snub. His work is a tribute to the imaginative limousin world, in close relationship with nature, which he felt imbued from childhood. It proposes a contemporary expression of it, irrigated and hybridized by the imaginative worlds of great figures of world literature, but also by other arts such as cinema

Full text
Abstract:
Alejandro López Andrada, poète, romancier et essayiste appartenant à la « génération des fils » comme la nomme Juan Vila, retrace le passé perdu ou en voie de disparition de son Andalousie natale. Sa prose se démarque par son caractère élégiaque et en dépit de la diversité générique qui caractérise ses œuvres, celles-ci ont en commun l’expression d’un sentiment nostalgique. Cette étude s’attache à présenter, en premier lieu, la voix narrative qui s’exprime dans le corpus choisi ainsi que la subjectivité qui la définit, puis, dans un second temps, les modes d’expression de cette nostalgie à travers l’exaltation de l’enfance dans laquelle s’inscrit la représentation de la terre natale andalouse. Enfin, la dernière partie de ce travail est consacrée à l’humanisme chrétien qui se dégage des textes, lesquels traduisent ainsi la foi personnelle de l’auteur. Celle-ci se manifeste notamment par l’expression de l’amour de l’Autre, de la revendication de valeurs et modes de vie renvoyant à nouveau à la période de l’enfance de l’auteur et par le poids important du religieux dans l’ensemble de son œuvre
Alejandro Lopez Andrada, a poet, novelist and essayist from the "generation of sons" as Juan Vila calls it, traces the lost or disappearing past of his native Andalusia.His prose is notable for its elegiac character and despite the generic diversity that characterises his works, they all express a feeling of nostalgia.This study aims to present, in the first instance, the narrative voice that is expressed in the chosen corpus as well as the subjectivity that defines it, and, secondly, the expression of this nostalgia through the exaltation of childhood, in which the representation of the Andalusian homeland is enshrined. Finally, the last part of this work is devoted to the Christian humanism that emerges from the texts, which reflect the author's own personal faith. This particularly manifests itself in the expression of love of the Other, in the demand for the values and way of life which hark back to the author's childhood and by the weight given to the importance of religion in all his work

The Green Movement of 2009 was a moment where the Iranians took to the streets and protested for democracy. This is nothing new, throughout the whole 20th century gave Iranian people many different options of their country. This thesis examines those moments and differentiates the Green Movement as an event that is unique in that it has not yet led to top-down reforms. Previous literature has yet to incorporate the Green Movement in contemporary analysis of Iranian history.

Abstract:
The reputation of comics in Russia was seriously spoiled in the 90s, when they were viewed as a purely entertaining and mass form. But in fact, in the modern world, the graphic novel is becoming a completely serious genre: great artists are creating comics, scripts for them are written by Ph.D's, and they often touch on complex topics. Moreover, comics have a long history of relationship with literature (for example, in the 30s of the 20th century, during the first wave of emigration, Russian literary comics were valued throughout the world). And in the last decade, this line of interaction has only intensified: many graphic adaptations of classic literary works, comic book biographies of writers and poets are appearing, and descriptions of comic books are increasingly appearing in modern literature. The article will be devoted to the history of various forms of interaction between literature and comics.

Full text
Abstract:
The article highlights the history of aksakology of the XX-XXI centuries. The beginning of scientific practice is associated with the name of S.I. Mashinsky and his monograph on the work of S.T. Aksakov. The research of E.L. Voitolovskaya, O.N. Belokopytova, A.V. Chicherin became the most systematic research of the 1950s - 1970s. It is shown that the main vectors of aksakology, since the 1980s, were set in the works of E.I. Annenkova, V.A. Koshelev, Yu.V. Mann. The efforts of Ufa linguists and literary critics, as well as participants of the Samara conferences of 2017 and 2020, were particularly noted. The monograph by V.E. Ugryumov and the developments on poetics made in recent years by A.A. Churkin are considered significant at the present stage.

Full text
Abstract:
The meaning of utopia is a place of ideal perfection. The expression is referred to a combination of unorthodox ideas, fantasies and striving to improve the liveability by learning from the best practice, with an ultimate goal of a new, ideally imagined one. This paper gives an overview of the utopian ideals of the 19th and 20th centuries, known in the literature as successful, or on the contrary, unsuccessful. Accenting the urbanism of experimental cities and their influence on architectural concepts of the 21st century, we can set a parallel between today practice and experience of the past. The question, whether the 20th century futurists were far beyond their time or whether today is possible to realize those visions, cannot be answered with certainty. But the determination to realize the concept of the city of tomorrow is as smart, sustainable and reactive city.

Abstract:
The construction of Baikal-Amur Mainline gave birth to such unique esthetic phenomenon as BAM literature, that became an indispensable part of the literary process of the second part of the twentieth century (this phenomenon has not been a popular subject of scholarly attention and still awaits for its researcher). BAM literature enriched and diversified the thematic repertoire of famous writers’ oeuvre. During the years of mainline construction BAM was visited by L. Oshanin, Y. Evtushenko, R. Rozhdestvensky, bard-poets N. Dobronravov, M. Plyatskovsky, N. Reznik and many others. Their poems and narrative poems comprised such book collections as Signature of the Century (1976), Mainline (1977), Railroad Joining ( Stykovka) (1984), the Flowers of Labrador Tea (2004). «The construction of the century» was also depicted by children’s writers: N. Hodza («BAM Is a Ringing Word», 1978), Z. Aleksandrova («Letters from BAM», 1980), Y. Marysaev («Blue Railroads», 1983) and others. The object of the current article is Y. Evtushenko’s narrative poem the Glade (Proseka) , that was ambiguously treated by leading Russian literary scholars as well as by the BAM authors. The poem is analyzed in the context of the industrial theme, that took its origin in the oeuvre of V. Mayakovsky and BAM literature with its unique set of images, motives and intonations.

It is emphasizes that the reliability of the detail is related to the author's teleology. Literary detail reveals both the typical value significance of the depicted, which has a modeling ability, and the limitless possibilities of the author’s individualization of the image. In the compositional organization of the artistic whole, plot details play a special role. In the individual creative mode of architectonics, details form the motive and set the rhythm of the whole.

Full text
Abstract:
The article analyses how transculturality manifests itself in a Russian-language novel the Sweet Salt of the Bosphorus by Azerbaijani writer Elchin Safarli. Despite the author’s allusions to the Constantinopolitan text of the 20th century Russian literature, a range of specifics prevents one from referring this novel to the Russian literary tradition. Due to the symbiosis of two mentalities in Safarli’s perception of the world, this literary piece incorporates the following transliterary features of writing: the author’s specific bilingual consciousness, which unlike monolingual, particularly the Russian one, states that human’s destiny is predetermined by one’s personal choice and actions, and the reconstruction of an Azerbaijani view of the world by means of the Russian language, which at the level of poetics manifests itself in that the gustatory and olfactory components of perception become dominant form of the autobiographical character’s sensory reactivity and are an important key to understanding the author’s position.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper traces the development from the medieval, traditional union, through the modern disunion, toward a possible post-modern reunion of the sacred and the profane. It concentrates on the modern disunion and conflict between the religious and the secular, revelation and enlightenment, faith and autonomous reason in the Western world and beyond. It deals specifically with Christianity and the modern age, particularly liberalism, socialism and fascism of the 2Oth and the 21st centuries. The problematic inclination of Western Catholicism toward fascism, motivated by the fear of and hate against socialism and communism in the 20th century, and toward exclusive, authoritarian, and totalitarian populism and identitarianism in the 21st. century, is analyzed, compared and critiqued. Solutions to the problem are suggested on the basis of the Critical Theory of Religion and Society, derived from the Critical Theory of Society of the Frankfurt School. The critical theory and praxis should help to reconcile the culture wars which are continually produced by the modern antagonism between the religious and the secular, and to prepare the way toward post-modern, alternative Future III - the freedom of All on the basis of the collective appropriation of collective surplus value. Distribution and recognition problems are equally taken seriously.

Full text
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of incorporation geographic information systems (GIS) in world school practice. The authors single out the stages of GIS application in school geographical education based on the retrospective analysis of the scientific literature. The first stage (late 70 s – early 90s of the 20th century) is the beginning of the first educational GIS programs and partnership agreements between schools and universities. The second stage (mid-90s of the 20th century – the beginning of the 21st century) comprises the distribution of GIS-educational programs in European and Australian schools with the involvement of leading developers of GIS-packages (ESRI, Intergraph, MapInfo Corp., etc.). The third stage (2005–2012) marks the spread of the GIS school education in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America; on the fourth stage (from 2012 to the present) geographic information systems emerge in school curricula in most countries. The characteristics of the GIS-technologies development stages are given considering the GIS didactic possibilities for the study of school geography, as well as highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

Lozynskyi, Maryan. Main Features of Publishing Activities of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (end of the 1990s – first two decades of the 21st c.). Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, February 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.30970/vjo.2022.51.11392.

Full text
Abstract:
The article desribes the main features of the publishing activity of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv from the end of the 1990s and in the first two decades of the 21st century. The aim of the author was to show this activity with the help of stages of formation of the Publishing Centre at the University. For this purpose, he used historical method, the methods of analysis, synthesis, content analysis etc. One of the important landmarks of the end of the 20th century in the publishing activity of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv which has its traditions in the past was the foundation of the mentioned Publishing Centre on the basis of Editing and Publishing Department, Machine Offset and Polygraphic Laboratories. This process was favoured by the administration of the University which supported the transfer of printing base to another building of the University. Professionals with respective qualification level and experience in the sphere of publishing and printing were gathered there. Another stage of the development of the Publishing Centre of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv was the creation in 2006 of the Publishing Board within the University which became a generator of ideas on the development of scientific book publishing and actively cooperated with printing enterprises of Ukraine (the author of the article was a member of this board). The administration of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv provided a substantial financial support for publication of educational and scientific literature of different genres and on different topics for educational needs both of the University itself and Ukrainian educational sphere in general. As a result of active publishing activity, the Publishing Centre of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv since 1996 has published more than 4.5 million copies of publications whose authors are members of the academic community of the University. Among the significant publications of the Publication Centre of the last two decades the article notes Ivan Franko (10 volumes, authors – R. Horak and Ya. Hnativ), Encyclopedia. The Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (2 volumes), Social Geography (2 books, author – Prof. O. Shabliy) and others. The results of the activities of the Publication Centre of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv were demonstrated during participation at Book Forums and other events in the publication and printing sphere. This article permits researchers in Humanities to analyze and evaluate the achievements and at the same time problems of the scientific publication activity of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

Shaffer, Austin, Justin Tweet, and Vincent Santucci. Colorado National Monument: Paleontological resource inventory (sensitive version). National Park Service, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2303444.

Full text
Abstract:
Colorado National Monument (COLM) in western Colorado was established on May 24, 1911 with the purpose of preserving, understanding, and enjoying the natural and cultural resources of the landscape, focusing on the history, erosional processes, and geology present. Although not explicitly mentioned in the monument?s purpose statement, the paleontological resources of COLM are nevertheless important. Significant fossils have been known from the area since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and from COLM specifically within a few decades of the monument?s founding. The direct urban interface of COLM with Colorado?s Grand Valley provides unique management concerns for fossils and other resources of the monument. While COLM preserves a long geologic history (roughly 1.7 billion years ago to the present), the fossils preserved at the monument mostly come from sedimentary rocks of the Mesozoic Era. The paleontological resources of COLM include both body fossils and trace fossils of a wide variety of organisms (e.g., freshwater mussels, dinosaurs, plants) representing diverse paleoenvironments. In order to assess the paleontological resources of COLM, a field inventory was conducted from April to November 2023, visiting all previously reported fossil sites and documenting new localities. A total of 226 paleontological localities were verified during this fieldwork, of which nearly two-thirds (146 sites) were newly documented. Two more were discovered in March 2024. These 228 localities are distributed throughout much of the monument and many of the geologic units, with higher concentrations present in certain units (e.g., the Morrison Formation). Fieldwork was supplemented by the review of published and gray literature and assessment of COLM paleontological collections. A number of significant paleontological discoveries were made during this inventory, including the first documented fossils (dinosaur tracks, plant fossils, and dinosaur skin) from the Naturita Formation within COLM and multiple novel fossil occurrences (e.g., likely the oldest-known fish otoliths in North America and possibly one of the only Jurassic ankylosaur tracks known globally). When considered alongside previously identified significant fossil finds from COLM (e.g., one of only three known turtle tracksites in the Morrison Formation and potentially one of the only known lizard trackways in the same unit), the paleontological resources of the monument are of high scientific importance. Future research on the paleontological resources of COLM has a high potential for identifying important fossil specimens and/or describing new species. This report provides foundational data on the scope, significance, and distribution of paleontological resources at COLM and provides recommendations to support the management, interpretation, and research of these resources.
