Full textAbstract:
Collection of short stories of James Joyce in a book under the title of “Dubliners” (1914) is a collection composing of 15 short stories, which topic of all of them is living in Dublin (stories about death, love, live in school, etc.). Short story of “sisters” narrates feelings of a boy about death of a priest. The first woman, who is afraid of love, a mother in law speaks about ambition and destroys her daughter. It ispainful narrative of a single man, who leaves the woman he loves and the woman finds in the time of her death that he has been in his loneliness all his life. Accordingly, it could be mentioned that the author has selected in his short stories a style that Flober has been its establisher. Hence, stories in the collection of Dubliners have been strongly image-based and have been less relied on storied actions. (Stein et al, 2008)The present study has analyzed two short stories of the mentioned collection under the titles of “The Dead Persons” and “The sisters\s”. In this analysis, the author has considered internal modes and feelings of characters of the story. Process of analyzing the two works has been firstly related to analysis of every story separately and then has been related to goals and destinies of creator of the work and totally his collection of short stories. Finally, the study has considered investigation and analysis of short stories of James Joyce, which analysts and critics of his works have presented it and it is that Dubliners should be considered as an origin and generality. Considering stories of this artist separately can’t be a competent work, since as it is obvious in this collection, the author has been tended to achieve a specific goal through considering a certain order for these stories.

Full textAbstract:
A comparative analysis of selected short stories in the Balkan countries, as well as contemporary short stories of the world, will show us that the key themes of those stories are very similar to the short stories written during the period of transition in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995-2010). For example, the story of the Soul Operation by an Iranian writer Mohsen Mahmalbafa, The Falcons by a Dutch writer Kader Abdolaha and On the Kitchen Stairs by a Polish writer Witold Gombrowic zinter connect with short stories by authors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, such as The Secret of Raspberry jam by Karim Zaimović or The Devilish work of Zoran Riđanović. A common thread manifests itself in the aforementioned stories, more specifically, a common theme which focuses on the need for eradication of the seeds of submission and compliance with the political system. Most authors focus on their domestic political systems; however, some portray and analyze systems in other countries as they see it, such as a Dutch narrator who focuses on a potential threat of infringement of human freedom. Moreover, Bellow Hubei by an Argentinian writer Anhelika Gorodis her underlines the importance of humanization within a political order. Faruk Šehić examines the political system in Bosnia and Herzegovina from a slightly different perspective. His collection of stories Under Pressure emphases the issue of pressure in the above war model of short stories in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These stories are the product of pressure and anxiety, with intent to latently promote new ways of spiritual survival, directly relating to the concept and the theme of the story The Past Age Man by Christian Karlson Stead. Further analysis of the alienation theme singled out short stories in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Plants are Something Else by Alma Lazarevska and Dialogues by Lamija Begagić, and pointed out their connection with some recent international short stories such as The Last Defence by Mahdi Šodžaija a contemporary Persian author who indicates the inappropriateness of spousal relations and the crisis of modern marriage. The alienation theme present in many short stories in Bosnia and Herzegovina also appears in a particularly impressive way in a short story Raggedy Africa by a Slovenian author Mark Švabič, which is clearly related to a short story The Seaside Fairy Tale by Miljenko Jergović from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Extremely interesting are the stories that suggest a crisis of legitimacy of culture and behavior, such as the story of Tito or Curriculum Vitae by a Slovenian writer Maja Novak, or Bankophobia by Ante Zirdum, demonstrating the individual culture of behavior and society in general in a regressive dimension manifested through addiction or phobia from banking institutions

Full textAbstract:
Literature in the form of short stories captures the social issues and events of the day. Tamil short story writers use their writing to reflect on the Tamil culture and way of life. Feminist author Ambai has demonstrated how female characters can successfully handle issues in their lives. In Ambai's short stories, a girl who has been terrified for a very long time and unable to run by herself can be seen strolling as an innovator. Her short story, "A Green Bird with a Red Neck," explores a woman's life struggles and her love for her father. The collection of short stories "Payanam 21" demonstrates how determined women who wish to be married again must be to overcome obstacles at home and in society. The short story "The City that Rises from the Ashes" helps the reader to understand the sorrow of women who work despite age and retirement restrictions. Next, in the short story 'A Green Bird with a Red Neck', the author reveals that women abandoned by their husbands are determined to raise their children on their own. The short story "Veethal" depicts the suffering endured by mothers whose children live abroad. Another short story, 'Poikai' reveals that men cannot live a woman's life, even for a single day. Apart from these, the lives of economically backward women and the hardships faced by women in other countries can be seen in the short stories. Ambai's collection of short stories, "A Green Bird with a Red Neck," demonstrates how female characters bravely handle a variety of life issues. It has received the Best Book Award in Tamil for 2021. The purpose of this article is to explore the lives and problems of diverse women that are told in the thirteen short stories in this book.

Full textAbstract:
This article outlines a range of theoretical issues concerning the development of a promising artis-tic form of the narrative cycle by Balkarian writers. The object of research is small genres of prose (short stories, short stories, satirical miniatures), cyclically structured and forming an artis-tic integrity. The paper examines the historical prerequisites for the emergence of such structures, the regularity of their introduction into the work of regional prose writers. Using the possibilities of literary chronicles, national authors sought to capture the most significant moments of reality succinctly and concisely, to fix them in the reader’s mind through the techniques of detailing, in-cluding additional details, episodes, fragments. The corresponding niche occupied by the novelis-tic cycle in the Balkar literature is determined, the seriation and chronicity of texts, their concep-tual complementarity are noted. The study purposefully correlates a narrative cycle and a thematic collection of short stories, to distinguish such textual associations by distinctive features and ways of coupling parts within the established ideological and artistic integrity. During the analysis the relevant material, various types of prose cycles are revealed: author’s (originally written accord-ing to the writer’s plan), editorial (compiled to the publication of collections of works by an indi-vidual author, based on a single problem) and composite (multi-component texts, within which autonomous works are transformed into a cyclical unity, based on meaningful overlap, repeatabil-ity of plot lines and dominant images). The result of the study is the conclusion that the novelistic cycle has become a very effective form in national prose with its functionality and scope of appli-cation, allowing the most complete reflection of the dynamically changing reality.

Full textAbstract:
The article dedicated to the works of the Lithuanian literature written in the second half of the 20th century depicting the writer Žemaitė (pen name of Julija Beniuševičiūtė-Žymantienė, 1845–1921). This writer was not rejected by the Soviet authorities because of her realistic outline and her democratic political views, the social criticism expressed in her work towards greed, selfishness and clericalism. Lithuanian writers dedicated to her their poetry, fiction, and drama works. However, Soviet writers were also impressed by Žemaitė’s personality traits, which mentioned less frequently in public: independence, perseverance, wit, the courage to stand out from her surroundings and to disregard the societal norms that stifled older women in traditional society. The article analyses the features of Žemaitė’s personality in works of Lithuanian literature created by poets Salomėja Nėris, Judita Vaičiūnaitė, and others. The author reveals how different aspects of Žemaitė’s work and personality were emphasised depending on the time of writing. This change partly reflects the shift of literature from socialist realism to more modern literature. Among the works of prose, the author singles out Bitė Vilimaitė’s cycle of short stories “Apsakymai apie Žemaitę” (Short Stories about Žemaitė) from her collection Papartynų saulė (Fernery Sun, 2002). The stories reveal both the character of Žemaitė, her environment and people close to her, and the most important features of Vilimaitė’s own work: attention to a woman’s fate, subtle psychological insight, attention to detail, and a specific model of a short novella. Since the protagonists of the cycle are usually real people, Vilimaitė’s talent for using documentary material and combining it with fiction is also evident here. The article concludes that Soviet-era authors portraying Žemaitė’s character raised aspects relevant to the time of writing, such as the promotion of national culture, problems of women’s emancipation and, also the fact that for female writers, Žemaitė was a role model.

Full textAbstract:
Through an examination of short stories from the Malaysian Chinese author Ng Kim Chew's 2001 collection From Island to Island, this essay reflects on the taxonomic functions of criteria such as language, ethnicity, and nationality, particularly as they inform contemporary discussions of Chinese, Sinophone, and Mahua (Malaysian Chinese) literature. Several of Ng's stories are set on remote islands and feature individuals who, having been forcibly separated from their original linguistic or social environment, offer a vehicle for reflecting on some of the consequences of literary taxonomies that arbitrarily prioritize one criterion (such as language or nationality) over others. Drawing on Wittgenstein's notion of family resemblance, the essay proposes a taxonomic system that does not rely on a single criterion but rather attends to the dynamic interaction among a variety of criteria. The resulting model is used to interrogate the naturalized conception of the family on which Wittgenstein relies.

Full textAbstract:
Selected works of V.V.Bianki are considered in the context of the theory of local supertexts (the Tartu-Moscow school). The Altai text acts as a subsystem of the Siberian text, coinciding with it in a number of parameters, but being isolated by geographic reference to the region. The proposed analysis makes it possible to single out the invariant motive of the “Altai” works of the writer — the existential choice of a person at the acute moment of the “fight” with a representative of natural forces, embodying the “spirit” of Altai. Human characters are hierarchically organized according to the degree of increased involvement in natural life: urban — local — scientist-naturalist. At the opposite pole there are variants of a kind of genius loci of the region: sable, bear, mountain goat, element. Bianki’s palette is not limited to the genres indicated by the author: novella and short stories. Starting with a reliable image of the “hunt-trade” (“Askyr,” “The last shot”), the author continues with stories with a bias towards anecdote (“Fatal beast,” “Somersault”) and the parable (“Boon”), and ends with the text, actualizing the canon of a fairy tale (“She”). The designated corpus of texts has not only thematic coherence, but also increased orderliness. Structural and semiotic connectivity is manifested in the tendency to the formation of binary microcycles, the presence of a single plot invariant and a mythological core. All these are arguments in favor of the existence of the Altai text in the writer’s work.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on literature’s potential for healing – both medical and sociopolitical – in times of severe crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Affect is an important literary tool to make people aware of social inequalities, in particular reading or writing short stories with the experience of a simultaneous real-life pandemic. Reading is an embodied act through which the reader enters into a dialogue with both the author and the text. Emotions emerge that are often more deeply stored in memory than the words as such, and that changes our perception of the world. This effect is also encapsulated in Siri Hustvedt’s analysis of reading practices, Sara Ahmed’s affect theory and Rita Felski’s four ways of engaging with texts. I analyse John O’Hara’s short story ‘The Doctor’s Son’ (1935), situated in rural Pennsylvania at the time of the 1918 Influenza, and Victor LaValle’s ‘Recognition’ (2020), resonating with the COVID-19 pandemic in an isolated apartment building in New York City. Both stories question the concept of pandemics as the great levellers by pointing out social injustice due to class and ethnic hierarchies. Taking Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ (1842) and Poe’s emphasis on the preconceived and single effect of fear and subsequent horror caused by the ‘Red/Black Death’, as a starting point, the article presents O’Hara’s story as a manifestation of the medical, social and ethnic phenomena at work in 1918: social distancing, facial masks, closed public institutions, people’s resistance to these measures and medical treatment along ethnic and class lines. LaValle’s ‘Recognition’ allows readers a glimpse into the relationship between an unnamed African American woman, who is also the narrator, and Pilar, a Colombian American woman, who dies of the virus. As part of a contemporary Decameron project, ‘Recognition’ stresses the human need for community, communication and, thus mutual human recognition, giving the dead – whether rich or poor – a name and demanding to undo systemic social inequalities. In that sense, literature can heal the nation.

Full textAbstract:
L.F. Dostoevskaya’s oeuvre consists of short stories and two novels, together with a biography of F.M. Dostoevsky. Her fiction is perceived by researchers as largely autobiographical; her book about F.M. Dostoevsky as a father is considered the least reliable source of biography. Therefore a mixture of genres can be considered: her prose displays features of the poetics of autobiography; her documentary contains fiction, while the author’s discourse dominates the character of the book. This article discusses some features of the poetics of fiction and the documentary prose of L.F. Dostoevskyaya. Dostoevskaya’s works suggest that the narrator is close to the author, since in some works the narrator is an autobiographical narrator named Lyubov Feodorovna. This article presents elements of a narratological analysis of her oeuvre of novels and short stories; this can help the reader trace the connections between the perspectives of the protagonists and narrators. In some narrative structures, the positions of the protagonists and narrators become equivalent due to the extra-narrative roles of the latter. The article also provides a partial analysis of the main themes and motifs of her prose, indicating their connection to the work of F.M. Dostoevsky. In particular, we discuss the connection between Dostoevskaya’s prose and her father’s unfinished novel ‘Netochka Nezvanova’. Taken as a single text, the prose of the great writer’s daughter demonstrates features of the Bildungsroman.

Full textAbstract:
Mongols have a long and rich tradition of translating literary works from many different countries into Mongolian. Specifically, thousands of literary works from over 100 different countries written in dozens of different languages have been translated into Mongolian. Among these, a large number of Italian literary works have been translated into Mongolian from Russian, English, and Romanian. As for the literary genres of these works, they primarily consist of poetry, prose, and plays (including screenplays). Specifically: 1) Poetry: poems (58 works), songs (1), long poems (3); 2) Prose: folktales (33), authored tales (36), short stories (40), traditional jokes (3), novellas (5), framed stories (1), novels (5); 3) Plays (2), and screenplays (1). In addition, works of non-fiction, including stylized biographical sketches, reminiscences, as well as a political philosophical treatise, have been published. Literary works are generally divided into one of the following two different categories depending on whether they have a specific author or not: a) oral folklore; and b) written literature. The following tasks need to be undertaken to properly study Italian literary works which have been translated into Mongolian and published in Mongolia: A complete bibliography of Italian literary works translated into Mongolian must be compiled, All of the Italian originals must be located and correctly identified, The Russian, English, and Romanian intermediate translations must also be found and carefully consulted, If a work has been translated multiple times by a single translator, the multiple translations must be compared with each other and studied, If a work has been translated multiple times by different translators, the multiple translations must likewise be compared with each other and studied, The Italian originals of poems, songs, tales, and short stories which have been translated into Mongolian should be located and juxtaposed with their translations and published in book format for teaching and research purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Ernest Hemingway wrote to F. Scott Fitzgerald that “The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life — and one is as good as the other” (305). With that, I created a collection of short stories that analyzes my generation of women’s struggles. Framing the thesis are two stories involving three women, Lindsey, Jenny, and Sarah, “The Generation of Discontent” and “Revisions,” with the characters attempting to sort through love, success, and happiness in society. The piece “The Bachelor” has Amanda torn between her currently successful life and the glamour and sometimes infamy of being on ABC’s reality show The Bachelor. In “Eggs Kennedy Style,” the fine line between delusion and dreams becomes defined in both Nan and Kelley of being one of America’s royal Kennedy family. “Cops and Robbers” shows the inner turmoil of women who do not aspire to be mothers and feel guilty for their aspirations as well asthe resulting resentment when they have to give up their dreams. The ideas of taking your loved one for granted and life goals become the driving aspect of “Flat Tire” where story picks up in the middle of major fight between Nicole and Tommy stemming from him dropping the garter the night before at their friend’s wedding. “Almond Blossoms” between a flashback to Amsterdam with Sam’s Dutch fling Andric and present time suburban Ohio with her finance Kevin showing the conflict of being single compared to being settled. As Fitzgerald said, “An author ought to write for his generation” (ix) and I wrote based on my personal experiences as well as my friends’ tales and tribulations that tell of our generation’s struggle. Giving a voice to the high hopes and resulting discontent I feel is important which models the Modern writers like Fitzgerald’s Gatsby’s green lighted hope for Daisy. I hope to revive a bit of that Modern era in my time though our green light just might be the glow of The Bachelor from the television.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the excavation of memories and truths that officialdom would rather remain buried in the work of French noir novelist Didier Daeninckx. It examines Daeninckx’s (Le roman noir de l’Histoire. Lagrasse: Verdier, 2019) magnum opus Le roman noir de l’Histoire. This is not a novel as historical document or as historical mimesis but rather a collection of seventy-six short stories that collectively recount eleven periods in French and European history from 1855 to 2030—and where the emphasis is placed on the kaleidoscopic nature of ‘history from below’, that is, individual fragments that do not necessarily add up to a coherent whole. The chapter argues that Daeninckx’s move from the crime novel to short stories (where crimes occur) complicates the genre’s typical preference for linearity where a single investigation is brought to resolution.

At the same time, the author focuses on a few lines of study that will have to be examined in depth in order to gain greater knowledge and understanding about how Humanism and the Renaissance influenced the development of Ukrainian culture and literature.

Full textAbstract:
This contribution intends to propose a reflection on the theatrical production of the Angolan Artur Carlos Pestana dos Santos, better known as Pepetela, an author who has always combined his literary vocation with his political commitment in the struggle for liberation from Portuguese colonialism (pepetela, meaning 'eyelash' in the Kimbundu language, originated as a militant battle name in the ranks of the MPLA). Pepetela, who has more than 20 novels and short stories to his credit, has only forayed into dramaturgy on two occasions, in the late 1970s, with the publication of A corda (written in 1976 and published in 1978) and A revolta da casa dos ídolos (written in 1979 and published in 1980). Both pièces are set in the socio-political context of the post-independence period and - both directly and allegorically, in dialogue with Brecht's epic theatre, but also with Augusto Boal's Teatro do oprimido - stage old and new conflicts between the dominators and the dominated.

AbstractThis is an introductory article to the topics more widely discussed in the PhD thesis from the same author. Following a short introduction and the motivations for researching innovative gamma-ray detector systems, this article describes a novel 85 dB dynamic range per channel integrated circuit for SiPM charge signal readout, named GAMMA, and the custom FPGA-based readout system. Experimental results presented in this article, obtained using a planar array of NUV-HD SiPMs, encompass the single-photon sensitivity achieved by GAMMA ASIC and the 2.6% resolution at the 137Cs peak emission energy of 662 keV, when using GAMMA ASIC to collect current signal from a detector array that is coupled to a LaBr3 scintillation crystal. Pixellation of the detector matrix allows for coarse position of interaction sensitivity in the scintillation crystal using machine learning reconstruction algorithms.

Shibram Chakraborty was a celebrated Bengali writer who fought for India’s independence, and, as a result, did time in jail. Thereafter, he lived a bachelor in a single-room rented apartment, filling up both paper and walls with his writings. His writings were celebrated for humour, alliteration, and a satirical strain. This chapter is a translation into English by the author of this book of one of Shibram’s most celebrated short stories on indebtedness and loan juggling. Quite apart from the delightful humour that binds this tale, the author has argued elsewhere that the story sheds light on debt problems in economics, including the Latin American debt crisis of the early 1990s.

The article deals with three short stories by Z.N. Gippius: “Vanya and Marie” (1924), “Marina and Katerina (Parallels)” (1931), “Vanya Pugachev and Vanya Rumyantsev” (1933). The stories, which reflect the relationship between Russia and Europe, demonstrate, according to the author’s intention, not just separate “cases” of human destinies and individualities, but the deeplying foundations of the national character and the Russian revolution of 1917. The objectives of the article are to study the constants and evolution of Gippius’ ideas on “the change of times, the deep difference of cultures, countries and peoples” “against the background of the ‛eternal’,” i. e. love, as she puts it in the story “Marina and Katerina”. Narrative structure, motive and thematic echoes, mental stereotypes and artistic topoi of these short stories are revealed. The commonality of problems and structure allows to consider the selected texts as a single semantic series, reflecting Gippius’ views on the relationship between Russia and Europe, and the “rewriting” of the story “Vanya and Marie” in the story “Vanya Pugachev and Vanya Rumyantsev” especially helps to identify the evolutionary vector of these views. The stories are also compared with the journalism and criticism of Gippius, in which similar ideas are expressed.

At the turn of the twentieth century, leading men of letters in the South began planning what would become the massive, seventeen-volume Library of Southern Literature, the largest collection of works by southern authors ever published. Appearing in 1909, comprised of biographies of hundreds of authors together with thousands of poems, short stories, and excerpts from novels, the collection aimed to stake a fresh claim for southern literature’s place in the American literary canon. But as Jonathan Daniel Wells argues, the creation of the LSL clearly exposed traditional southern boundaries between insiders and outsiders even as the editors tried to imagine a new, ascendant South. The LSL did include a few leading white women writers, but the editors elected not to include a single African American author, instead deciding to promote a “Teutonic” vision of southern history. Despite its attempt to claim a new beginning, then, the Library of Southern Literature reflected contours of gender and race that had long bolstered the singular visibility of white, male intellectual life.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the results of the analysis of the functions of interrogative sentences in modern experimental (fragmented) fiction, that reflects the processes of disintegration, based on the works of small prose (about 5 % of all short story texts) published in the magazines “Znamya”, “Octyabr’” and “Novyj mir” in the last 5 years. The selection of the material is based on the author’s definition of the narrative genre (short story, small prose, other prose, prose), on the formed discreteness of the text (various types of rubrication at the level of macro-syntax, at the level of microsyntax — the dismemberment of the syntagmatic chain of the sentence, the elimination of connectivity indicators, the use of alternative punctuation), on the identification of non-standard metagraphemics as the design piece of art’s means. A comprehensive analysis of the disintegration degree of small volume texts with interrogative sentences (question marks), pragmatics (types of questions), structural features (single questions, chains of interrogative sentences, combination with parcellation), the context of the introduction (position in the structure of the text and the presence/absence of a direct answer in a question-and-answer situation) allows you to determine the following functions of interrogative sentences in the text of experimental prose of small form 1) complication of the subject perspective of the text by removing the traditional punctuation of the parties of speakers in dialogues and including private questions in them; 2) metalanguage narrator’s reflection performing in the text with the help of existential rhetorical questions and unanswered questions; 3) the performance of the text-forming function of interrogative sentences in lyric monologues reflecting auto-communication. The revealed features of questions in modern prose reflect the author’s search for a means of compensation for disintegration, the increasing colloquialism of a literary text and the change in the recipient’s perception of his narrative (the desire to remove distance, modeling online communication), which is predetermined by the orientation to the modern reader, the search for new forms of artistic communication.

Full textAbstract:
The Slovenian-Bosnian poet, writer, essayist, literary critic, translator and editor Josip Osti (1945–2021) was born in Sarajevo, lived and worked in Slovenia since 1990. Being a recognized poet in his homeland, writing in Croatian, one of the largest translators of Slovenian literature into Serbo-Croatian, since 1997 he has been writing in Slovenian. The transcultural aspects of Josip Osti’s literary works, both poetry collections and novels, are a unique phenomenon. In our study, we turned to the novels of Josip Osti, namely his trilogy — Ghosts of the House of Heinrich Böll (2016), In Front of the Mirror (2016) and Life is a Creepy Fairy Tale (2019). All three works have a strong (auto)biographical component and form a special novel form, which the author calls the “kaleidoscope-mosaic” novel. The latter has a fragmented structure and consists of short stories, life stories, anecdotes, urban legends, essayistic notes, literary-critical digressions, lyrical passages, diary entries, etc. In Osti’s novels, we also find a connection with the tradition of short prose in Bosnian-Herzegovina literature, in particular, with the works of the 1990s by such authors as M. Jergović, D. Karahasan, N. Veličković, K. Zaimović and others. Their texts are characterized by a destabilized genre form, a mosaic narrative, personal and documentary evidence, and a palimpsest narrative model. The kaleidoscopic structure of Osti’s prose texts helps him to reflect the transcultural view characteristic of his intimate and artistic world, to embrace the complex overlap of heterogeneous elements. The novels are written in Slovene, but they are mainly devoted to the space of Sarajevo, the unique multicultural atmosphere of this city, as well as the tragedy unfolding in it; thus, the writer complements the so-called “Sarajevo text”, but already in the field of Slovenian literature, artistically comprehending the interconnectedness of Bosnia and Slovenia.

While speaking of Pu Songling’s (1640–1715) impact on the Chinese literature one can’t help mentioning his short stories about fox turnskins and other wonders, known in English as Strange Tales from the Chinese Studio (Liao Zhai zhi yi). Commonly here the general survey concludes, and the main efforts are directed to analysis of the author’s pencraft and concealed political implications, since most of the plots are believed to be not original but adopted from earlier oeuvre. Thus the two major implied notions can be worded in the following fashion: 1) Strange Tales are the only work by Pu Songling to be mentioned and 2) they happen to be quite a secondary piece of literature based on borrowed stories and twisted about to serve the new main objective — mockery on social and political routine of the author’s present. The chief idea of the article is to cast a doubt on both of these notions and to show diversity and richness of Pu Songling’s genres and subjects as well as finding out the basis of these texts’ attractiveness for readers for more than 300 years. The other goal of the paper is to give a short overview of Pu Songling’s translations into Russian and their influence on the literary tradition of modern Russian prose. The main focus is put on the difficulties any translator is to face, on the quest for the optimal form of reproduction of the original’s peculiarities. Since the language of Pu Songling’s stories is Classical Chinese (wenyan), the author’s mastership in reproduction of different speech styles including common vernacular is also to be mentioned and analyzed.

Full textAbstract:
We propose a physical-world question-answering (QA) method, where the system answers a text question about the physical world by searching a given sequence of sentences about daily-life episodes. To address various information needs in a physical world situation, the physical-world QA methods have to generate mixed-type responses (e.g. word sequence, word set, number, and time as well as a single word) according to the content of questions, after reading physical-world event stories. Most existing methods only provide words or choose answers from multiple candidates. In this paper, we use multiple decoders to generate a mixed-type answer encoding daily episodes with a memory architecture that can capture short- and long-term event dependencies. Results using house-activity stories show that the use of multiple decoders with memory components is effective for answering various physical-world QA questions.

Sinful Exotics of A. V. Novák Literary image of a journey to Asie in 1926–1927 Traveller and writer Archibald Václav Novák (1895–1979) rose to fame in the 1920s as the author of popular nov els and short stories inspired by a stay in Tahiti and the United States of America from 1919 to 1921. Sucesess of books and lectures allowed Novák to undertake another long journey. From October 1926 to April 1926 A. V. Novák visited Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, Malaya, Singapore, Sumatra, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and Japan. After returning home, Novák organized public lectures and published new novels and short stores inspored by the places he visited and the people he met. He also wrote a four-volume travelogue based on his travel diary. On his journey, Novák took not only still photographs, but short movies as well. After the communists took power in Czechoslovakia in 1948, Novák was purged from public life. No longer heralded as either a traveller or a writer, he was virtually consigned to oblivion. It was not until after 2000 that a study of the phenomenon of Czecho slovak emigration to Tahiti kindled renewed interest in him. In 2010, some of Novák’s previously unknown pho tographs were discovered and donated to the Náprstek Museum’s photographic collection, which is a part of the National Museum in Prague. Movies, diaries and the most of negatives by A. V. Novák have not been preserved, but there is a large number of glass slides used as an accom paniment of lectures. Photographic collection and books by A. V. Novák offer a valuable source of information about the non-Europen countries in 1920s and the ways, how they were presented to public in Czechoslovakia.

A nonperturbative theory of multiphoton ionization was given in 19801 by the present author, which predicted the subseguently observed phenomena of above-threshold ionization (ATI), suppression of lower-order peaks in the spectrum of ionized electrons, and major gualitative differences in the spectra of electrons ionized by circularly polarized light as compared to linearly polarized light. The theory uses a short-range binding potential with a single bound state, much like the later independent work of Muller, Tip, and van der Wiel.2 The 1980 theory is here applied to the case of photoionization of xenon by circularly polarized light of 1064 nm, for which experiments have recently been carried out.3-5

In International Conference Virtual City and Territory. Barcelona: Centre de Política de Sòl i Valoracions, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.5821/ctv.7605.
Full textAbstract:
Las ciudades turísticas intentan recrear los imaginarios internacionales sobre culturas determinadas, adaptándose a las expectativas que se tengan sobre el sitio a visitar. Los imaginarios son la realidad social construida desde los ciudadanos. A través de ellos las personas aprehendemos y explicamos las percepciones que nos formamos sobre los otros, los eventos y relaciones, así como sobre las obras y objetos.
En las ciudades del turismo emergentes, la construcción de los equipamientos turísticos, tanto públicos, como privados, hace tabula rasa de la ciudad preexistente, dejando de lado las experiencias culturales
locales, para preparar un escenario óptimo, que haga atractivo el sitio al público extranjero. En ese sentido los referentes culturales de lo mexicano, plasmados en la arquitectura, retoman elementos de
distintas regiones y momentos históricos, acordes al imaginario internacional. Esos lenguajes arquitectónicos funcionan como referencia de autenticidad del espacio consumido, validando la experiencia turística.
El objetivo de este trabajo es dar luz sobre el origen de las formas arquitectónicas –la morfogénesis- de una ciudad turística emergente. Es decir, observaremos los lenguajes urbanos y arquitectónicos, y la
relación que los diseños exhibidos guardan hacia el imaginario internacional de la cultura mexicana. Para ello, utilizaremos como instrumentos los recorridos que los turistas hacen para acceder a los desarrollos
turísticos, las imágenes expuestas en lugares específicos, así como el análisis del relato emitido por el turista en relación a la experiencia vivida. Nuestros medios de acceso serán las imágenes reales
(tomadas in situ por las autoras) y aquellas recogidas de los sitios web de las cadenas hoteleras y de las bitácoras personales (blogs) de turistas disponibles en Internet. Con estos instrumentos pretendemos
asociar los lenguajes plásticos del sitio con aquellos provenientes de imaginarios internacionales sobre la cultura mexicana, más allá de los de la realidad del sitio analizado. Retomamos a manera de ejemplo dos
puntos de vista: el del promotor inmobiliario y del turista. El caso de estudio es Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, ciudad que ha sufrido una fuerte conversión a las
actividades turísticas en los últimos diez años y cuyo auge inmobiliario, representa un caso emblemático del turismo en el noroeste mexicano.
Adelantándonos a manera de breve conclusión, podemos señalar que las imágenes montadas en el armado y diseño del puerto anterior cumplen la paradójica función asentarse en la memoria del viajero (crear una ciudad memorable y singular), a la vez que autentifican la experiencia turística, es decir, son imágenes congruentes con el imaginario que el turista se ha formado aún antes de iniciar su recorrido, ya sea a través de los relatos de otros viajeros o del discurso del promotor inmobiliario. Ambos disponibles con la facilidad de un clic.
Por otro lado, los referentes buscados por los promotores turísticos, están ligados, mediante la arquitectura y el urbanismo a la antigua arquitectura mexicana, de las culturas prehispánicas, las haciendas rurales y la arquitectura colonial, que poco o nada tienen que, ver con las actualidad de las ciudades mexicanas y mucho menos con el entorno regional de Puerto Peñasco. Sin embargo, ese tratamiento permite la creación de un ambiente "ideal" para el acercamiento a la cultura mexicana que los turistas esperan.
Al contrastar los puntos de vista de un viajero y de un promotor inmobiliario de esta localidad portuaria, daremos cuenta de la ciudad deseada y de la ciudad ficción, acercándonos de esta manera a la "ciudad
real", que bien pareciera la copia de las dos anteriores. The tourist cities intend to recreate the international imaginaries about certain cultures, adapting to the given expectations of the visiting place. The imaginaries are the social reality built by the citizens. Through them, people seize and explain their perceptions on others, on events and relationships, and as well as on
objects.
In the emerging cities of tourism, the building up of equipment, public as well as private, ignores the preexisting city. Cultural local experiences are left aside to prepare an optimal scenario that would make
the place attractive for the foreign visitors. In this sense, the cultural references for “the Mexican” are
captured trough architecture. They take elements from different regions and different historical momentums, according to the international imaginary. These architectural languages works as an
authenticity reference for space, validating the tourist experience.
The objective of this paper is to throw light on the origin of architectural forms –the morphogenesis- in an emerging tourist city. We will look at the urban and architectural languages, as well as the connexion that the exhibit designs keep towards the Mexican culture international imaginary. In order to do so, we will take advantage of the itineraries the tourists follow to get to the tourist developments, of the images exposed in specific places, and of the tourists account of their experiences. Our means of access will be
the real images (taken by the author of this paper) and those collected in web sites of hotel chains and personal tourist journals (blogs). With these instruments we intend to associate the place plastic languages with those derived from international imaginaries on the Mexican culture. As an example we
take into account to points of view: the real estate promoter’s and the tourist’s.
The case of study is Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, a city that has suffered a tough switch to the tourist activities within the last ten years, and of which its real-estate growth represents an emblematic case in the
Mexican northwest.
Bringing forward a brief conclusion, it can be pointed out that the array of images and the port design achieve the paradoxical function settle themselves on the traveller’s memory (creating a memorable and
singular city), and at the same time they authenticate the tourist experience. In other words, these images are consistent with the imaginary that the tourists have formed even before they began their tour. This recreation of the images is accessible through the stories of other travellers or trough the speech of realestate promoters (realties), both of which available with a single “clic”.On other side, the references seek by the tourist realties are attached to the antique Mexican architecture: the pre-Hispanic cultures, the haciendas and the colonial period, that have very few or nothing to do with the regional environment of Puerto Peñasco. However, that array allows the creation of an "ideal"
environment, expected by the tourist to approach to the Mexican culture.
Finally, contrasting the point of view of a traveller and a real-estate promoter, we will expose the desired city and the fictional city. In this way, we will approach to the "real city", which now seems the copy of the other two.
