Full textAbstract:
The Russian prose poem was officially born in December 1882, when the journal Vestnik Evropy published Ivan Turgenev’s last work, a collection of fifty “poems in prose” (stikhotvoreniia v proze). Although the generic title of Turgenev’s prose miniatures seems to echo Charles Baudelaire’s Petits Poemès en prose (1869), the fate of the prose poem in Russia turned out very differently from that in its country of origin. Whereas the French poème en prose has become a mainstay of modernist poetry, the Russian stikhotvorenie v proze looks at first sight like a rather anemic plant struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment. In many respects, it constitutes a marginal genre par excellence: located in the no-man’s-land between poetry and prose, it was practiced mainly by minor writers, or by major writers only in early youth or old age (note the title Turgenev originally proposed for his prose poems: Senilia).

Full textAbstract:
White Afrikaans literature of the sixties can be seen as typically modernist, work of the later part of the eighties and of the nineties clearly shows all the characteristics of postmodernism. Against this backdrop recent Afrikaans prose writing dealing with the representation of childhood and youth can be discussed on the basis of a few of the best and most representative texts. A tentative conclusion is that Afrikaans writing in the nineties focuses on the individualized past, an approach Linda Hutcheon calls "historical metafiction". The authorial stance in these texts fluctuates between what can be termed nostalgia and parody, and should be seen as part of a traumatic psychological process facing white South Africans in particular, namely having to deal with the past. In Afrikaans prose writing the nostalgic stance is especially prevalent in the (traditional) prose writings of authors on the right of the political spectrum. In contrast the parodic stance (dominant in recent Afrikaans prose writings) not only leans toward postmodernism - the prevailing paradigm in the Afrikaans literary context - but can almost without exception be termed "leftist" and "progressive".

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes prose works by Russian twenty- and thirty-year-old authors who emerged in the early 2000s and gradually fell into obscurity right after their initial success. Sekretov’s article discusses A. Babchenko, I. Denezhkina, A. Karasyov, and others. All of their works share numerous distinctive traits, such as a predisposition to uncensored autobiographical narration, full identification of the author with the protagonist, and preoccupation with challenges faced by young adults and the force of rebellion, which, however, boils down to the axiomatic teen defiance. As a result, the young authors-cum-protagonists lose their swagger upon the first breakthrough, with their subsequent career grinding to a halt after the highest but single achievement. Therefore, in his analysis of the novels, interviews and critical reviews dedicated to the books by I. Denezhkina, A. Karasyov, I. Mamaeva and others, Sekretov identifies the generational characteristics of early 2000s literature and tracks the authors’ subsequent progress, seeking the reasons for so many failures.

Who writes what for whom? An authors’ profile of Afrikaans children’s and youth prose (fiction) 1990-2001 In this article a profile of authors in the production category Afrikaans children’s and youth prose (fiction) for the period 1990-2001 is compiled according to selected categories. The profile attempts to determine whether trends can be identified and statements and opinions of researchers with regard to this production category be corroborated by inferences drawn from this profile. Among others, the article addresses issues such as the age and gender of authors, the relation between authors and publishers and the influences of prices and awards on the publishing and writing patterns in this production category. It was found that a statistical analysis of authors involved in this publication category corroborated perceptions and findings of researchers in the field and can also identify and predict trends and problems.

Full textAbstract:
The following article deals with the story of two German Jewish brothers, Alfred Lemm and Siegfried Lehmann. The first—a forgotten journalist and writer, the second—a doctor and educator, the founder of the Ben Shemen Youth Village in Mandate Palestine. Through the specific story of the two brothers, the article traces the path of messianic antiurban ideas prevalent in expressionist avant-garde circles in pre–World War I Europe, to the circles of German Jewish Zionism and from them to Palestine-Israel. Though German expressionism was itself an urban intellectual phenomenon, expressionist prose often exemplified antiurban and antimodern sentiments, as in the case of Lemm's prose. According to Lemm, redemption from the ills of modern society shall be found in withdrawal from the modern city and return to physical and metaphysical “roots.” Lemm's antiurban attitude influenced his brother Siegfried and found its full manifestation in the founding of the Ben Shemen Youth Village in 1927.

Full textAbstract:
„Youth“ is one of the most important keywords of the Khrushchev Thaw. Undoubtedly, it was part of the ideology of the era – a young, impetuous, enthusiastic person, who keeps rushing to the romantic horizons and experiences an elevated sense of freedom in a totalitarian state. This was the response of the Khrushchev era to Stalin’s personality cult. The author of the article, by using the cultural and political context of the Thaw, reads two works – long story The Pine That Laughed (Pušis, kuri juokėsi) by Justinas Marcinkevičius and short story A Girl Passed By (Praėjo mergina) by Juozas Baltušis.These works by Marcinkevičius and Baltušis are the texts full of euphoria and utopia typical for the Thaw, which respond to the realities of that time and evaluate them from the aspect of the communist party, also confirming the ideology of the Thaw. Impetuosity, rational having of a purpose, puritanism, faith in education, the pursuit of a society without contradictions, and other traits of classical utopias are found in these texts. In both cases, the official ideology coincides with the conservative rural ethos and the opinion on youth morality that stems from it. The analysis of the works shows the ways in which depiction of the youth correlates with the cult of youth typical of communist ideology of those times, while the critique of the youth corresponds to the official image of a young person.Both writers portray their criticized and re-educated characters (Romas and Liana) as living on an island or under a bell jar and building their separate, but also completely wrong world. They are asocial, deviated from society and real life, cynical, appreciating sophisticated thinking and formalism, insincere, destructive and somewhat dangerous to the healthy Soviet society. Both authors show in their works that such young people are at risk of tragedies in their life. The only alternative is the exemplary path of the Soviet youth.

Full textAbstract:
Maurice Leblanc, Gustave Flaubert’s countryman, author of the famous series of novels and short stories about adventures of “gentleman-burglar” Arsène Lupin, from his youth had an interest in works of the author of Madame Bovary . The interest was shared by his sister Georgette Leblanc, a singer, actress and writer. This essay critically examins the early prose of Maurice Leblanc, its connections with the traditions of Flaubert and with typical for “fin de siècle” erotic prose of decadence. A special attention is paid to the novel A woman and its parallels and allusions to Madame Bovary . This essay shows the peculiarities of Leblanc’s description of Roune (against the background of a nagative perception of the city by Flaubert).

In describing the process of my inquiry, I demonstrate how writing a found poem unearths an otherwise hidden—or possibly forgotten—connection between finding poems and educating youth. To allow artful, heartfelt insights to emerge, we have only to learn how to "spot the occasion for poetry" (Sullivan, 2007)

Scientific bulletin of KRHPA, no. 11 (2019): 106–11. http://dx.doi.org/10.37835/2410-2075-2019-11-12.
Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the literary analysis of Ulas Samchuk's novel «The youth of Vasyl Sheremeta». It explores the proper concept of the philosophical and theoretical interpretation of the significance and role of the Kremenets Gymnasium named after Ivan Steshenko in the formation of a young person by the novel of Ulas Samchuk «The youth of Vasyl Sheremeta». The authors of the article note that the significance of Ulas Samchuk's creative work in the complex literary process lies in its key role in the formation of a new active hero in the Ukrainian prose of the twentieth century. The life and creative path of the prose writer, his literary heritage is a vivid phenomenon in world-wide Ukrainian society, which more clearly reveals the "character of the nation-creating factor" (R. Gromiak). It was investigated that Ulas Samchuk wrote an autobiographical essay-novel in the two volumes "Youth of Vasily Sheremety" about the life of Kremenets and the gymnasium of the 20's. "This book, - says the author, - violates a small part of the problem of our Ukrainian sector. This is a series of questions from the youth environment of the first years after the First World War of one of our provinces. I wanted to lighten them with the ones my eyes saw them, and the way they heard them, my soul. Without special colors, without special "educational trends", without "for" and without "against". My only tendency was to see everything, even my insignificant heroes from a distant provincial town, co-authors of their era. I wanted to show people who later created the content of what we had just experienced in their first time. Do not force the reader and the critic "to be satisfied." I would have liked more to be true. It is proved that in the artistic means of the novel "The youth of Vasyl Sheremeta" the main feature of his outlook is clearly and consistently traced. The language and cultural code of the national identity of the heroes is represented as a phenomenon of Ukrainianity and the formation of a young Ukrainian person. Ulas Samchuk closely connects language and history as an inseparable unity.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of “revolutionary dream” is central in the philosophical prose of Andrei Platonov. This concept had a solid foundation — the belief in omnipotence of the «only correct» doctrine of Karl Marx and the recent experience of victory in the Civil war. The components of the “revolutionary dream” — unrestrained imagination and irrepressible fanaticism — were essential characteristics of the mentality and practical activity of revolutionary young men, to whom Platonov belonged himself in the twenties. However, unlike others, Platonov was not just one of the creators of a new society, but also a reflective witness seeing the genesis of Bolshevism as an unprecedented in history artificially constructed political and socio-economic system. 1917 was the beginning of the Soviet way of life. By 1937–1938 its formation was finished with the Сollectivization completion, total defeat of all oppositions and the peak of repressions. It was during this period that the Marxism that came to Russia from Europe was completely transformed into Marxism of the Leninism and Stalinism type. The way Platonov considers the concept of «revolutionary dream» is demonstrated both on the material of his early stories and later large texts — stories and novels «Sea of Youth», «The Foundation Pit», «Chevengur».

Full textAbstract:
This article explores youthful subjectivity in both dramatic and non-dramatic verse, considering representations of female youth in Shakespeare’s late romance Pericles alongside the work of poet and polemicist Rachel Speght. The complex, unstable category of youth contributes both to Shakespeare’s rendering of his fourteen-year-old female character in his play and to Speght’s portrayal of herself in her poetry. Shakespeare’s Marina narrates her own tale and reconstitutes narratives spun about her, creating space for youthful self-fashioning. Nineteen-year-old Speght undertakes a similar project of self-making in her prose treatises and particularly in her two published poems, “A Dreame” and Mortalities Memorandum. This article compares self-fashioning in the work of a young female writer to the construction of the young female self by a contemporary male writer, suggesting that youthful subjectivity inheres for both girls in principles of authorship and narrative authority.

Consequently, it is an important chapter in Hungary’s history of youth theatre. The current study reconstructs employing the Philther Method, from the ethical perspective of community theatre and education in theatre, this “nostalgic requiem” for “1848 and Hungarian freedom”.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of interpreting the events of the Second World War in modern foreign literature (namely: the role of the USSR in the Victory over fascism is hushed up, the emphasis is placed exclusively on the genocide of Jews during the war, but not Soviet citizens in general), questions of teaching discipline to philology students. The material was mainly the novel by M. Zusak "The Book Thief", as well as the prose of P. Modiano, B. Schlink. The author comes to the conclusion that the basis of patriotic education, which is emphasized by the current state policy not only in secondary, but also in higher education, in classes on the history of foreign literature, should, firstly, be the formula: patriotism is love for one's country rather than hatred for a stranger. Secondly, it is advisable to teach foreign literature (including modern) in the context of Russian-foreign relations, as well as through the prism of a comparative analysis of the works of domestic and foreign authors, using a problematic approach, which will also contribute to critical (analytical) thinking. As for the practical application of the research results, it is advisable for language students to develop a colloquium (6 academic hours) on the topic “The theme of the Second World War in Russian and foreign prose”, involving material from both domestic and foreign prose.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of urban space in a work of fiction as an important element of the narrative, thanks to which a more complete understanding of the plot, the inner world of the characters and even the author himself becomes possible. Soviet cities in modern Russian literature, being on the border between history and nostalgia, fact and fiction, also play a certain role in the narrative. In this article, using the example of prose of Dina Rubina we tried to track down the way the author creates a nostalgic image of the city in fiction and what role the writer assigns to the cities of the Soviet East in her work. To do this, we will compare two cities in D. Rubina’s novels: Tashkent in the novel “On the sunny side of the street” and Almaty in the Russian Canary trilogy. The choice of cities is based on their geographical proximity, belonging to the same culture and the same time period. Comparing the urban spaces of Tashkent and Almaty, we focus our attention on the nature of cities, eastern specifics and the use of urban toponyms in novels. In addition to spatial characteristics, we will try to trace how the motif of the city changes in the context of the narrative. The results of the study showed that despite the fact that the images of cities can be revealed in a striking way, in the writer’s work, the cities of the Soviet East are primarily places of characters’ memories of childhood and youth.

Archival sources, helpful in biographic research, are of particular importance in the case of writers in exile, whose biographies – intersected by war and exile – often remain incomplete to this day and needsupplementing. The biography of Barbara Toporska (1913–1985) is an example of how important it is to study the biography of a writer in the context of interpreting his/her work, both prose and – or perhaps above all – poetry. The paper presents selected examples of various archives used to explore the writer’s least-known period of life – her childhood and youth, as well as the history of the Toporski family, also important to her.

Full textAbstract:
Having seen one of Rackham’s illustrations to Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods in his youth, C.S. Lewis became instantly attracted to “pure ‘Northernness’”, a feature he would later associate with Scandinavian literature and mythology, Wagner’s music and William Morris’ romances. In a similar manner, Morris describes his reading of the Norse sagas as a momentous experience which influenced his later writings. However, the two authors seem to have responded to different aspects of the sagas: Morris to their realism of presentation and to their worship of courage, and Lewis to their use of magic and myth. Paradoxically, in spite of Morris’ paganism, his prose romances played an important part in Lewis’s conversion to Christianity.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines some of the issues of the formation and evolution of the genre of the story in Circassian literature. The relevance of the study is due, on the one hand, to the insufficient development of the stated topic, on the other hand, to the need to identify trends in the development of national prose, starting from the problems of its genesis. In the center of research attention is the ideological and thematic orientation of the Circassian story mainly of the initial stage of evolution, i.e. Soviet era. In particular, the author examines the stories of S. Temirov, I. Amirokov, M. Adamokov, H. Gashokov and others, who laid the foundations of the genre in Circassian literature. During the indicated period, the Circassian tale was the first attempt to comprehend the problems of collective farms, youth brigades, the Soviet attitude to work, the range of urgent problems of young people, their aspirations, the formation of the criteria of Soviet morality. It also reflects various aspects of the Great Patriotic War, mainly as a war for independence. The research uses the method of artistic analysis. The results obtained can be used in compiling special courses on Adyghe (Kabardino-Circassian) prose, writing the history of the literature of the peoples of the North Caucasus.

Despite the importance of MSEs to the Kenyan economy, the rate at which new firms are formed, have stagnated and the already established MSEs younger than 5 years are collapsing a great deal. This study thus sought to establish the effect of entrepreneurial financing on growth of youth owned Micro and Small Enterprises in Kenya. The study was guided by the following specific objectives; to establish the effect of digital credit on growth of youth owned Micro and Small Enterprises in Kenya, to assess the effect of banks and microfinance lenders on growth of youth owned Micro and Small Enterprises in Kenya, to determine the effect of equity financing on growth of youth owned Micro and Small Enterprises in Kenya, and to find out the effect of investors on growth of youth owned Micro and Small Enterprises in Kenya.

Abstract Gerda Mieß (born in Bistrita in 1896, dies in Cisnădie in 1954), is know for her verses published in periodicals and anthologies as well as for only collection of her poems (by Dr. Stefan Sienerth in 1987 in Kriterion Verlag Bucharest published). People interested in the history of literature knew that she had also written a novel in her youth, which, howeser, never came to the public during her lifetime or afterwards. Her descendants (the Herbert-László family) hade the manuscript prose work translated into computer script and took steps to publish the novel. It offers an insight into the mentality and behavior of the time around 1910, into the school system of the time and the problems of that time and the problems of women (education and employment of women).

Full textAbstract:
Botho Strauß (b. 1944), German playwright, novelist and essayist, devotes his book Herkunft [Origin] (2014) to a subtle portrait of his slightly underestimated father, who died in 1971. This sample of prose is typical of Strauss as it encompasses meditative descriptions, disquisitions, aphorisms and narrative fragments. This narration contains numerous biographical details about his father, as well as his mother and the writer himself, and it tells us a lot about his youth and cultural maturation. Strauss’ hometown, Bad Ems, provides a certain topographic point of reference here. This is a highly personal and emotional text which simultaneously exhibits all esthetic properties that characterize Strauss’ style. This text is also about the way different sensory stimuli incite our memory and how difficult it is to find a literary form adequate to reconstruct memory.

“OUT OF THE CLOSET, ONTO THE BOOKSHELF”: ON GROWING UP AND COMING OUT IN CROATIAN QUEER LITERATURE In the contemporary Croatian queer prose, growing up is represented as a process with uncertain outcomes. Contemporary writers do not describe gay and lesbian identities as already shaped, finalized, and unquestionably different from heterosexuality. Their poetics have many predecessors, Bildungsroman, the 19th-century genre that, despite conventional epilogues, depicts youth as a period of the adventure and overturn, being the oldest one. The second important influence are foreign coming out novels (texts that describe the articulation of gay and lesbian identities in the family and community) or narratives of affirmation, and the third Yugoslav young adult prose. The publication of the Croatian queer prose has increased dramatically since the first Gay Pride in Zagreb (2002) and the Queer Zagreb festival the following year. In the short story collection Poqureene priče [The queered stories] (2004) growing up is one of the prevailing topics with eventually popularized motifs such as coming out, moving away / traveling, cultural signifiers of gay identity, and crossings of sexual orientation with gender and class. Writing in the first person is also very popular. Vladimir Stojsavljević’s oeuvre is important because the author depicts growing up in three contexts, during Yugoslavia, in the war-time, and in post-transition, and texts by Nora Verde are a novelty because she writes about queer women as belonging to lesbian community. Young authors Mirta Maslać and Viktorija Božina reveal an interesting autobiographical discourse and share a tendency towards using diverse cultural references. This paper aims to show how the encounter of local gay and lesbian culture, foreign fiction, and already present genres has shaped the current texts about queer identity that manage to avoid writing about sexuality within simplistic, binary oppositions.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the work of Finno-Ugric (Permian) writers of the second half of the 20 century E. Zagrebin, I. Toropov. Both of them belong to the generation of authors whose childhood and youth were spent during the Great Patriotic War. It is natural that the theme of wartime childhood is one of the most significant in the work of this generation of authors. Literary research, conducted on the material of the works of these writers devoted to this topic, made it possible to identify their main artistic features. It is autobiography, deep lyricism, emotionality, strengthening of the personal and subjective principles in the work, symbolization and metaphorization. In the course of a comparative literary analysis, it was established that the key and most significant in the works of this series is the motif of memory of the events of the past - memories of childhood during the war. The genres of short prose (story, prose miniature) allow authors to pay closer attention to the disclosure and solution of moral and philosophical problems, to address the personality of a growing person and his/her inner, spiritual world, to the psychology of a child and teenager. In addition, in the course of the study of the prose works by E. Zagrebin and I. Toropov, devoted to the war childhood theme, their lyrical character was identified and analyzed, as well as the image of the hero-narrator having the properties of a lyrical hero, romantic poetics and stylistics in the transfer of the inner world of a person. As a result of the study, it was concluded: the generation of writers who grew up during the war years not only continued, but also further developed the layer of literature on military subjects, the initiators of which were front-line writers.

Full textAbstract:
The negation of Black people is pervasive in the historical genealogy of white supremacy. Black society, and Blackness, as defined and fabricated by Western thought and action, exists in “outer-space” (Sexton, 2011). However, white constructs of Blackness are merely that—constructs. This piece acts in three parts: 1) an intellectual conversation with scholarly thought holders, 2) a space of personal reflection and interpersonal dialogue, and 3) pieces of prose and imagery that embody various forms of Blackness. This piece explores Black clairvoyance through examples of Black youth identities, social movement politics and practices, and affirmations of our creations, sacred spaces, and rituals. Our praxes are visible in our daily gestures even as we hold trauma—sometimes informal or episodic—but always seeped in love, creativity, ancestry, and spirituality, existing as moments of movement and healing resistance.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the difficult postwar years of Germany reflected in the works of B. Schlink, as well as assesses the impact of economic circumstances upon the formation of German collective consciousness. The object of this research is the novels “The Justice of Selb”, “The Deceit of Selb”, “The Farewell of Selb” by B. Schlink. The subject of this research is the artistic peculiarities of representation of the “German economic miracle” in the prose of B. Schlink. The writer had a critical attitude on idealizing the results of Germany's rapid economic development. He believes that mythologization of the positive results of economic development is only one side to a coin. A profound analysis of the listed novels by B. Schlink, dedicated to the theme of postwar restoration of Germany, gives a better perspective on the writer’s role in the German literary process during the late XX – early XXI centuries, which defines the relevance of this research. The goal of this article lies in studying the importance of mythological representations associated with the rapid recovery and economic development of Germany in the consciousness of the German nation, as well as their reflection in the works of Bernhard Schlink. In his novels, B. Schlink not only mentions the return of former Nazis to public and civil posts, but also draws the images of the prosperous postwar existence of German industrialists, whose factories used to supply the needs of the Reich. Depicting the conflict between the characters, the writer destroys one of their pleasant elements of the myth of “German economic miracle”. The hero – Detective Selb – reflects on the ethical questions pertinent to economic development. The life-changing event in national history, which allowed Germany to regain its rightful place among the European nations, is linked by the author with a range of negative consequences, such as development of the psychology of “consumerism” in the society, concealment of the German national past, detection of significant environmental problems, and escalation of radical moods among German youth.

Full textAbstract:
The article is a detailed commentary to a page from Ivan Bunin’s unpublished notebook (1944). The page lists the names of writers, poets, critics and publishers from the time of Bunin’s youth. According to the author of the article, this listing gives much more objective information about the influences on Bunin’s own early work recognized by himself than all autobiographical notes and memoirs published by the writer. The list of prose writers is dominated by Narodnik authors (he met many of them thanks to his brother, Yuly Bunin) and the writers close to them, who were considered “progressive”. In the list of poets, the authors of “pure art” are connected with the poets of “civil sorrow”, members of the Surikov circle and some senior Symbolists. The list of critics and publishers brings us back to populism. The article concludes that the list presents an attempt of an objective literary autobiography, in contrast to such official autobiographical texts as “Memoirs”.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the representation of domestic work of female and male characters in children’s literature of the 20th –21st centuries. The research is based on the Corpus of Russian Prose for Children and Youth (DetCorpus). In Soviet and post-Soviet children’s literature, male characters are overrepresented by male authors, the same tendency is present in literature for adults. In contrast, female authors are characterized by a more egalitarian distribution of characters. The analysis of the verbs denoting household work and used in the past tense shows that female characters are more often depicted by certain types of household work by authors of both sexes. Thus, women writers are more likely to portray women doing household work since they portray more women in general. Children’s literature can trace a rich tradition of the symbolic inclusion of male characters in domestic work. The article describes a circle of romantic and adventure topoi, which depict men and boys engaged in the arrangement of everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
Secondary students who become disenfranchised from mainstream schools are directed to attend Alternative Education (AE) centres. AE was a grassroots’ initiative in the 1990s led by youth organisations, iwi, community social service agencies and churches to meet the education and pastoral needs of rangatahi. Due to the tenuous links held between AE and the mainstream system and with no government policy work occurring within the sector for the decade prior to 2009, the sector struggled for adequate resourcing and professional recognition. Through a poetic inquiry approach this paper explores three key AE government policy directions over a ten-year period, from 2009 to 2019. Unbuckling prose found within official documents, concrete (visual) poems were created to perform a critical reading of policy. The policy poems form a narrative arc that show the discrediting of AE providers and demonising of students in AE has recently given way to more hopeful directions in policy.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents young Żeromski’s fascination with the writings of Paul Bourget. Basing on the Polish writer’s journal entries concerned with Une crime d’amour and Mensonges one can trace an ambivalent attitude towards those psychological novels developed in the late 1880s. By young Żeromski’s standards Bourget falls behind other masters of prose he admires at the time, namely Turgenev and Dostoyevsky. Still, despite Bourget’s didacticism, the aspiring youth cannot refrain from fascination for the descriptions of characters, whose emotions so often so clearly mirror his own. There are at least a few plots (an aspiring writer’s ambitions in the great world, the memory of a love lost etc.) which could have caught Żeromski’s attention as valid attempts to capture experiences known to him as well. It is therefore the identification process that stands in the way of condemning the moralistic ambitions of Bourget and allows the French writer’s works to remain an important point of reference for the Polish witer’s upcoming writing endeavors.

Full textAbstract:
Histories of public space generally assume a strong correlation between the health of a nation's civil society and the vibrancy of its public sites, in so much as the latter provide an observable venue for free assembly and popular protest. This essay, while not opposing such a view, offers a corrective to the kind of history it encourages, wherein public space appears politically relevant only at its most visible moments. Framing the analysis is Japanese provincial writer Miyazawa Kenji (1896–1933) and his “Poran no hiroba” (Poran's Square), which survives as a piece of school theater and an evolving prose narrative about a rural youth who reclaims for his agrarian community a site of shared assembly. By interrogating public space as an object of the literary and theatrical imagination, specifically in the context of interwar rural Japan, the author argues that its less visible aspects have much to tell us about its relation to civil society, both perceived and actual, in the waning years of “Imperial Democracy.”

Do the fairytale creatures grow old in contemporary Czech literature for children and youth?The literary creation for children and youth does not avoid the literary realizations of attitudes towards old age. In this article, we will introduce three diverse ways to capture the aging process, but also the rejuvenation of the mythical creatures. In the prose with a child hero Dračí polévka, the Vietnamese grandfather was reborn as a lush dragon, in the fairy tale Lichožrouti, three different fairytale creatures are preparing for the end of their lives and in the book for children František zkaštanu, Anežka ze slunečnic, a metaphor of autumn is used to describe the cyclicality of the life in nature. Although the mentioned books are dissimilar, the description of old or aging persons is carried in the positive note, they become a pattern for little readers.Остаряват ли приказните същества в съвременните чешки произведения за деца и юноши?Дори в литературата за деца и юноши не отсъстват литературни реализации на отношението към старостта. В тази статия ще бъдат представени три различни начина за улавяне на процеса на стареене, но и подмладяване на митични същества. В прозата с дете герой Dračí polévka виетнамски дядо се преражда в буен дракон, в приказката Lichožrouti трима различни приказни герои се подготвят за края на живота си, а в книгата за деца František z kaštanu, Anežka ze slunečnic използва метафората на есента, описваща цикличността на живота в природата. Въпреки че споменатите книги са много различни, описанието на стари или застаряващи лица се извършва в положителен тон, те се превръщат в модел на малките читатели.

Contemporary Polish prose, which is not optimistic anymore, show anthropological sensitivity, is called a literature of initiation, present a young protagonists in a labyrinth of values, whose life seems to be suffering, they are lost in reality, lonely, looking for answers of difficult existential questions, looking for the true, friendship and love.

The article is devoted to the study of genre features and creative potential of modern Ukrainian literature, which has the form of digital self-publishing. The study used hermeneutic, comparative, system-structural and structural-functional methods, as well as conceptual, plot-image, problem-thematic analysis, text-analytical method of "careful reading" to read the archetypal and code content of texts and others. Currently, there are more than 10 literary digital self-published resources inUkraine. However, the prose resources "Booknet" and "Arkush" have the real influence on the literary process. Both allow authors to communicate with readers through digital self-publishing. Five factors influence the work of modern Ukrainian authors: 1) the influence of classical Ukrainian and world canons; 2) the influence of postmodernism both in the literature and at the social and ideological levels; 3) the influence of mass literature of the Russian Federation; 4) the influence of translations and modern European literature; 5) the influence of the Internet and communication with the reader. In the context of digital self-publishing, each of these factors has its own specifics. The influence of cinema on mass literature is especially powerful. This can be manifested as a replication of the template (simplification), and in the form of systemic plot and psychological complication of textual structures. Today, digital self-publishing is represented by a whole range of genres: fiction (science fiction, fantasy, mystical prose, etc.), realism (historical, romantic, social, psychological novel, detective, thriller, etc.), and literature for children and youth. In each genre we see original novels that are not inferior in quality to those published through publishing houses. The latter makes it possible to talk about the emergence of writers inUkrainewho can be "indie authors". That corresponds to the global changes in book publishing.

Irina Odoevtseva’s emigration began in 1922, permanently deleting the poet from Russian literature. In emigration, she stopped writing poems and turned to prose. Mainly, her memoir work brought her fame. The memoirs “Na beregakh Seny” are dedicated to the memories writers and poets of the Russian emigration, but a special place among them is occupied by I. A. Bunin. It was his criticism that Odoevtseva considered the most valuable and it was from him that she received approval as a prose writer. Thanks in large part to his comments and observations, she improved her writing skills. Moreover, the author-memoirist managed to get the location of Bunin. He repeatedly noted Odoevtseva’s ability to listen to him with genuine attention and interest. This impressed the writer and made him want to share his thoughts. Irina Odoevtseva’s femininity, diplomacy and sincerity allowed her to maintain good relations with Bunin throughout her life. So, the most significant event of emigration for Odoevtseva becomes acquaintance with Bunin. The memoirist does not tell about each meeting in chronological order: it captures the most striking key moments. The poet admired the extraordinary and rare talent of the writer. Behind the mask of arrogance and arrogance, Odoevtseva was able to discern the best human qualities in him. She saw her task as bringing her contemporaries and descendants at least a little closer to Bunin’s greatness. According to the memoirist, he was such a multiaceted personality that no one could give an exhaustive description of his image. Being a poet and prose writer, she learned Bunin mainly as an author-Creator. But the main thing in Irina Odoevtseva’s observations is that this image extended to Bunin’s life as a whole. This was expressed in the way he saw the world, how he spoke and reminisced about his childhood and youth. Even the most mundane story told by Bunin became a small work of art. The writer did not just tell, but showed what he was talking about. He, like no one else, felt and understood nature subtly and sensitively, and his presence always created a special atmosphere. This, according to Odoevtseva, made him an extraordinary and unique person, and that is why it was so important for her to get to know the real Ivan Bunin and capture his multi-faceted image.

The article is the fourth in a series of publications devoted to the biography and journalistic work of N.A. Logunova the Russian emigrant writer. It deals with the first years of her adult life in Odessa, the beginning of her literary career and the activities of the literary circle “The Green Lamp” (Zelenaya lampa). The authors focus on the first steps in the literature of the later famous Soviet writers and journalists V.P. Kataev, I.E. Babel, E.G. Bagritsky, Y.K. Olesha, etc., their first publications in the Odessa periodicals and their public speeches. In addition, it is about, one might say, a particular lifestyle of Odessa writers, formed under the influence of the cultural specifics of their home-city. Logunova tells in detail about the life of Eduard Bagritsky, who loved birds and was indifferent to the conveniences of life, describes the methods of Babel’s literary work, who from his youth aspired to the maximum saturation of his prose, literally honing every phrase, removing everything that he considered optional. The article also characterizes methods used by Odessa writers for adaptation to the new – Soviet – conditions of literary life, fundamentally different from the pre-Soviet – political situation.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the representations of the Great Patriotic War in Soviet and postSoviet cinematography. The study presents the comparative analysis of the heroic narrative dating back to wartime propaganda and most clearly manifested in post-war film epics, as well as the tragic narrative, which is inextricably linked with the ‘lieutenant’ prose of the Thaw-era. The changes in the images of the Soviet cinema in the Russian war films of the 2000s are considered. It is proved that these changes, found in modern series and remakes, are critically evaluated by both academic circles and youth audience. On the basis of discussions held in ten focus groups the main critical attitudes are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the problem of remediation which consists in the predominance of visual images only outwardly copying popular Soviet films, without independent reflection on the specificity and the meaning of military experience. It is noted that the concept of remediation makes it possible to shift the focus from dissatisfaction with individual parts of films about the Great Patriotic War to the general problem of changing the media regime in modern society and to start analyzing the mechanisms of its functioning.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the work of Oksana Kerch – a representative of the literary process of the interwar period in Halychyna. Her work is considered in relation to the general artistic trends of the day, in particular in terms of stylistic features of the writer’s prose. For a long time, her work, removed from the cultural process, was on the margins of literary criticism. Although Oksana Kerch’s prose is unknown to the general public, her artistic heritage is original and distinctive. At one time, the writer’s works were published on the pages of well-known periodicals, such as “Women’s Fate”, “Nova hata”, “Ukrainian News”, and were published in separate prints. The return of the artistic figure of Oksana Kerch to the all-Ukrainian literary process necessitated a comprehensive study of her creative heritage. In particular, it is important to consider the genre and style specifics of the writer’s novels. The novel “The Groom” is bright and original in the writer’s artistic work. In this novel the author recreates the dramatic events of the interwar decades in Halychyna. A notable feature of the work is autobiography – the writer herself witnessed those turbulent events of the struggle of Ukrainian patriotic youth for their national identity. The novel consists of twenty-one stories. The four main characters take turns telling about the life of military and interwar Lviv and its inhabitants. On the printed pages, the author created a unique figurative world that reflected the conflicts of the era. In the novel, Oksana Kerch recreates the environment in which the ideas of the national liberation movement are born, and through the perception of her own national identity, she models neo-romantic ideals on her way to serve the native people. The neo-romantic concept is vividly embodied in the pages of the work. Here the author continues the tradition that has developed in Ukrainian neo-romanticism – the dominance of the theme of Ukraine, the struggle for its independence.

Full textAbstract:
In January 1928, The Dial published T. S. Eliot’s review of Personae: The Collected Poems of Ezra Pound (1926). Even as he acknowledges his indebtedness to his fellow American poet-critic, Eliot seems bewildered by Pound’s belief system, which in his estimation is a heady mix of mysticism, occultism, pseudoscience, and Confucianism. With a touch of exasperation, he ends the review by asking provocatively, “what does Mr. Pound believe?” Although he would never give an answer that Eliot would find satisfying, Pound would revisit the question time and again in his prose and poetry. In the process, he reveals more about his eccentric set of creeds than even Eliot might have bargained for. Striving to synthesize a range of philosophical and polytheistic traditions, Pound would cast off the Presbyterianism of his early youth. From the 1930s onward, his deepening affiliation with Italian Fascism and near-cultic devotion to Mussolini would add yet another layer to his spectrum of beliefs. With Eliot’s query in The Dial functioning as a recurring point of reference, this essay examines Pound’s religious beliefs as a shifting panoply of mythico-theological, aesthetic, and political ideas. The picture that emerges is as complex as it is difficult to pin down, blurring the boundaries of what constitutes “faith” itself.
