Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The description of the portrait of a literary character plays an important role in creating the overall image of the character. The urgency of the study is due to the anthropocentric direction of linguistic studies since reflection and interpretation of the existing world and descriptions of portraits play an important role in this. In this sense, it is necessary to analyze the use of linguistic units in the description of portraits of characters from English fiction and poetry in the sixteenth-nineteenth centuries and to know the influence of past trends in the present. During the study several general scientific methods were used: analogy, generalization, observation, comparison, experiment, analysis, and the historical method. The study analyzed portrait descriptions in English poetry and prose from the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries and found that writers used a variety of symbols to capture the author's intentions in characters. Often, the authors used somatic vocabulary to represent the appearance of the characters, the less used lexical units of the general characteristics of the portrayal of the characters and the least to represent the appearance of the characters used the kinetic vocabulary.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
ABSTRACT: Twin Territories was a newspaper in Indian Territory from 1898 to 1905 that included the latest regional news, historical information about various tribes, and the column "What the Curious Want to Know." It also incorporated a variety of photographs of American Indian women, portraits of officials, and landmarks. The newspaper actively sustained a national audience. Ora Eddleman Reed understood her role as an editor in Indian Territory in part as a responsibility to correct inaccurate, dangerous representations of Natives people in the US. In addition to countering stereotypes of women, Twin Territories troubled visions of a backwards civilization, offering instead a portrait of Cherokee people as members of a burgeoning capitalist economy. While concentrating on a particular vision of Indian Territory as a modern, developing space, I seek to place Twin Territories in context as an Indian Territory newspaper of the turn of the twentieth century and to study its key features, including the advice column, its short fiction, and the photographic column, "Portraits of Indian Girls." Such representation is all the more complicated by Eddelman Reed's connection to the Cherokee community.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
We cannot answer the Joyce question in Beckett studies until we proceed beyond the stereotypical assumptions of the two dominant approaches: namely, the resistance to Joyce school and the poststructuralist identification with Joyce school. Instead, this essay will argue for a third approach in which Beckett's life-long engagement with Joyce is shown to be much more complex, collaborative and complementary in many ways, as well as contestatory in nature. A close examination of three portraits of Joyce in Beckett's fiction will support these contentions and lead us towards a revisionist critique in which there is an enhanced appreciation of some of the more affirmative dimensions of Beckett's work.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article assesses the relationship between Zimbabwean literature and Zimbabwean law. This is done by closely reading two short stories from Petina Gappah’s 2016 anthology Rotten Row. A discussion of the ever-burgeoning literature and law movement is conducted in order to situate the article within the broader law and humanities interdisciplinary effort. Images of legal figures and legal institutions are assessed in order to determine the portraits they produce in the fiction. The close relationship of the Zimbabwean court judgement and the judgement as storytelling method in fiction is highlighted and explained. It is concluded that Gappah’s fiction is strongly connected to the law and that this is a deliberate story telling strategy.

L’article estableix les possibles relacions entre els motius que provoquen l’apocalipsi (guerra mundial destructora, invasió d’extraterrestres, motius ecològics) i les diferents imatges del Mediterrani com a refugi de valors clàssics i vitals (durant la postguerra i fins als anys setanta), com a imatge de la societat desapareguda (durant l’exili i en ecoficcions dels anys setanta) o, en la ficció climàtica apocalíptica i en la ficció de l’Antropocè, com a massa d’aigua amenaçadora o com subjecte de nous valors d’identificació. Aquest recorregut pot ajudar a entendre els canvis ideològics esdevinguts entre la guerra freda, la postmodernitat i l’actualitat.Paraules clau: ciència-ficció, apocalipsi, mediterranisme, postmodernitat, Literatura catalanaAbstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse the presence of Mediterraneanism, that is, a collective identification way of thinking, in Catalan science-fiction literature about the end of the world. The paper lays out the possible relationships between what causes the apocalypse (a destructive world war, an alien invasion, environment issues) and the different portraits of the Mediterranean as the sanctuary of classical and life values (literature after the Spanish Civil War and until the 70s), as the portrait of a lost society (literature of the Exile period and 70s eco-fiction), or as a menacing water body or a subject of new identity values in apocalyptic climate fiction and Anthropocene fiction. This paper can help understand the ideological changes that happened between the Cold War, Postmodernity, and the present time.Keywords: Science fiction, Apocalypse, Mediterraneanism, Postmodernity, Catalan literature

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
En el presente ensayo (continuación de un estudio anterior [Cervantes, Fall 1983] sobre los retratos cervantinos del escritor), se propone una nueva manera de entender la presencia de la teoría literaria en una obra de ficción. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que la teoría, en cuanto creación lingüística, ha de consistir necesariamente en ficciones, se someten a un análisis literario las principales Poéticas escritas por los contemporáneos de Cervantes. En ellas se revelan figuras, imágenes, estructuras retóricas, narraciones, y mitos —es decir, la representación imaginativa de cuestiones doctrinales— que dejarán en la obra del gran novelista una huella mucho más profunda que la de las sentencias y preceptos por las que son ya conocidas y reconocidas en los textos cervantinos.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The aim of the study is to analyze some of K. G. Paustovsky’s documentary fiction works to identify the specifics of the writer’s individual style in the process of recreating socio-psychological portraits of a special group of his contemporaries, i.e., sailors of the Black Sea Fleet of the USSR in Sevastopol in the pre-war period (1930s-1940s). The study is original in that it is the first to reconstruct the portrait of a social group of Soviet military sailors as eclectic documentary and literary images in the navy during a specific historical period based on K. G. Paustovsky’s stories in the collections “The Black Sea”, “The Story of a Life”, and “Tales. Essays. Literary Portraits”. A philological analysis of various linguistic markers, psychological techniques used by the writer to understand the consciousness of military sailors, a complex set of emotions and feelings generated by the water element is given. As a result, it was found that in the process of reconstructing the socio-psychological portrait of a group of Soviet military sailors of the Black Sea Fleet of the USSR, K. G. Paustovsky uses various expressive means: synecdoche, the technique of combining the living and the non-living, zeugma, comparison, epithet, oxymoron. The writer assigns a special role to the symbolism of color, with the help of which he reveals the power of the heroes’ feelings and experiences, allowing for a deeper understanding of the psychology of military sailors.

Neimneh, Shadi S. "The Symbolism of the Sun in Ghassan Kanafani's Fiction: A Political Critique". International Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies 5, n. 3 (7 luglio 2017): 67. http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijclts.v.5n.3p.67.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article explores the symbolism of the sun in Ghassan Kanafani's fiction, in particular his novella Men in the Sun (originally written and published in Arabic under the title Rijal fi al-Shams). The article argues that the sun is a naturalistic emblem standing for the harsh realities encountered by Palestinian refugees. Hence, it is employed as a political metaphor representing the "hellish" life of exiled Palestinians. In this light, the metaphorical employment of the motif of the sun serves the protest message of Kanafani's postcolonial literature of resistance. It is part of a larger project of employing gritty, harsh realism to depict a wretched world of agony, loneliness, despair, and helplessness. In Kanafani’s fiction, the sun directly figures pain, alienation and suffering, rather than hope, light, and renewal as commonly viewed in literary and mythical depictions. Instead of embodying light and birth, the sun figures loss and death in Kanafani’s fictional world. Therefore, it gives Kanafani’s fiction a mythical dimension when this fiction is viewed in its entirety. At the individual level of singular pieces, the sun underscores the realistic weight of such pieces, adding to their ideological, political and historical value. In Men in the Sun, the sun as a dominant symbol functions contra abstract metaphorical language by making the brutal realities of exile and suffering more concrete, more immediate, and more perceptible for the reader. Thus, it is a pessimistic symbol for Kanafani used to create realistic portraits of Palestinian life rather than an optimistic one as traditionally viewed.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article deals with the latest methods of constructing a literary text in American short fiction. There are two main types of narrative: theatrical performance and psychological sketch. Theatricality finds expression in the elements of surrealism, magical realism, absurdity. Sometimes it develops into an overt puppet theatre performance. The psychological sketch takes the form of an emotional monolog or an impression. The article analyses the transformations of the author – he constantly changes masks, breaks up into plurality of self; as well as of the protagonist, a passive, problem creature, often a person with damaged psyche. The article substantiates the need to study new concepts of constructing a literary text. Modern authors create “explosions of truth”, most often impartial, moving away from the usual canons and inventing new ones, sometimes taken to the extreme, exaggerated means of artistic expression. It is argued that a story is able to “capture” the momentary and barely noticeable. A striking sample of modern literary techniques is Frederic Tuten's collection “Self-Portraits: Fictions” (2010), an example of intertextuality, essential for the aesthetics of post-postmodernism.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Вступ. Філологічний аналіз словесних та художніх описів емоційного стану героїв може допомогти виявити ті якості, які сприяють характеристиці літературного персонажа та основної ідеї твору в цілому. Мета. Мета дослідження – пролити світло на мовно-стилістичні засоби, які сприятимуть створенню психологічного пор-трета головного героя в художньому тексті. Для виконання завдання потрібно з’ясувати найпотужніші прийоми, які використовує автор, і ґрунтовно пояснити наміри автора під час створення психологічного портрету головного героя або героїв роману.Методи. Перелік методів, що використовуються у дослідженні, різноманітний. Серед найбільш ефективних є метод індукції та метод синтезу. Контекстуальний аналіз мовних одиниць розглядається як надзвичайно важливий. Це дослідження має важливе значення з точки зору його практичного та теоретичного значення. Дослідження може бути практично використано для лінгвостилістичного аналізу художньої літератури.Результати. Майстерно зображені автором психологічні портрети протагоністів допомагають зрозуміти глибоку психологічну суть самого роману. Головною ідеєю твору є мотив дружби, на якому ґрунтується опис персонажів. Створюючи харак-теристики літературних образів, автор використав засіб опису середовища та емоцій головних героїв. Таким чином, психологічний портрет образу Джорджа та Ленні був створений за допомогою лінгвостилістичних засобів та поетичних прийомів. Щодо останніх, вони включали дискретний груповий портрет та опис природи, щоб підкреслити схожість характерів героїв, а також показати вражаючий контраст у їх зовнішності. Найчастіше використовуються лінгвостилістичні засоби: порівняння, персоніфікація, епітети, метафори та зооморфне порівняння.Висновки. Мовно-стилістичні засоби відіграють важливу роль у створенні психологічного портрета літературного персо-нажа. Мовна виразність і яскравість висловлювань досягається не лише завдяки виразним стилістичним та оцінно-стилістичним компонентам, а й тому, що слова і словосполучення можуть набувати переносних значень, бути частиною стилістичних фігур, що провокують створення образного значення. Для створення психологічного портрета використовуються різні мовно-стилістичні засоби, такі як епітет, метафора, метонімія, оксиморон та інші, які допомагають розкрити суть персонажів, роз-пізнати їхній внутрішній світ та спосіб їхнього мислення та дій.Ключові слова: психологічний портрет, літературний текст, стилістичні засоби, поетична мова, літературний герой. Introduction. The philological analysis of verbal and artistic descriptions of the characters’ emotional state can help profoundly identify those qualities that contribute to the characterization of the literary character and the main idea of the work as a whole.Purpose. The research aims to shed some light on the linguistic and stylistic means that will contribute to creating the psychological portrait of the main character in the literary text. To accomplish the task we need to figure out the most powerful techniques the author uses and thoroughly explain the intentions of the author while creating the psychological portrait of the personage.Methods. The list of methods used in the research is diverse. Amongst the most efficient are the method of induction and the method of synthesis. The contextual analysis of linguistic units is viewed yet as one of paramount importance. This study is important in terms of its practical and theoretical value. The research can be practically used to deal with linguostylistic analysis of the literature.Results. Skillfully written psychological portraits have been used to focus on deep psychological meaning of the novel “Of Mice and Men”. The main idea of the novel is the motive of friendship, on which the description of characters is based. Meanwhile, creating the personages’ characteristics, the author used the means of identifying the description of the environment and emotions of characters. Thus, the psychological portraits of the images of George and Lenny were created with the help of linguo-stylistic means and poetic devices. Regarding the latter, they included a discrete group portrait and a description of nature to emphasize the similarity of the characters of the heroes, as well as to show a striking contrast in their appearance. The most commonly used linguo-stylistic means are: comparison, personification, epithets, metaphors, and zoomorphic comparison.Conclusions. Linguistic and stylistic means play an important role in creating a psychological portrait of a literary character. Linguistic expressiveness and brightness of utterances are achieved not only due to expressive stylistic and evaluative-stylistic components, but also due to the fact that words and phrases can acquire figurative meanings, be part of stylistic figures that provoke the creation of figurative meaning. To create a psychological portrait, various linguistic and stylistic means are used, such as epithet, metaphor, metonymy, oxymoron and others, which help to reveal the essence of the characters, recognize their inner world and the way they think and act.Key words: psychological portrait, literary text, stylistic means, poetic language, literary personage.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article examines a portrait as a means of creating a character in the works of Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, an outstanding Ukrainian writer of the fin de sièclе period. It is traced that an important category of poetics is the portrayal of a character. It helps to better understand the writer's intention, to reveal his creative individuality, to understand the problems of prose. Various types of portraits are identified, and the features of portraying in the novels of M. Kotsiubynsky's works are analysed. It is proved that the portrait is an emphasis on the anthropocentrism of fiction. The significance of portraing in the context of the formation of the character's image is clarified. The author of the article believes that Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky was one of the first among the modernist writers to feel the need to search for new approaches in the depiction of artistic images in order to create not only his own world, but also an integral paradigm of the Ukrainian cultural space. In the end, the research helped him develop his own holistic and unique style, a creative manner in which the writer translates the vision angle from a blind reflection of reality into the psychology of his characters. This work of M. Kotsiubynsky went beyond the realism discourse, absorbing the main features of neo-romanticism. It is traced that the neo-romantic stream of the story is more expressive with the ethnographic part, which is complemented by the portraits of the characters. It is due to the ethnographic portrait that the mental characteristics of the characters are reflected. In the story “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors” M. Kotsiubynsky skilfully uses an ethnographic portrait, supplementing it with a psychological one, which helps to strengthen the mental features of the characters, to create vivid images. It has been proved that it is the character's portrait as a component of the human image that acquires special significance in the repertoire of Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky's works. It helps to better reveal the nature of the character and to better understand the nature of his actions. At the same time, M. Kotsiubynsky goes beyond the limits of ethnographic descriptiveness: he is interested in the soul of a person and human nature in general, therefore the writer resorts to a combination of ethnographic features of a portrait with its psychological manifestations. It is proposed to consider a portrait as a means of expressiveness in revealing the ideological content of a prose work. The role of the artistic detail is substantiated, which emphasizes the semantic content of the psychological portrait on the one hand, and, on the other, it enriches the ethnographic gamma of the writer's prose. It is traced that the use of contrast creates a dynamic that serves the emergence of a cohesive image. Portrait descriptions are not only plot elements, but are full-fledged components of the work. It has been established that the image of the writer himself also appears through the portrait characterization of the characters, so the representation of a work of art occurs through the prism of the artist's individual perception.

Les carnets d’écriture inédits de Marie-Claire Blais nous donnent accès a sa personnalité créatrice, à ses dessins artistiques et à sa posture intellectuelle vis-à-vis de l’oeuvre en gestation. Ils ont une valeur génétique indéniable, car ils représentent une couche de manuscrits, voire un ensemble d’autographes préparatoires au sein desquels se trouve étalée l’histoire de la genèse de nombreux romans en voie de production. Les Carnets privilégiés dans cette étude, à savoir ceux qui sont contemporains à la rédaction d’Une saison dans la vie d’Emmanuel, de Testament de Jean Le Maigre à ses frères et de David Sterne servent à enregistrer des notes d’idées et de projets et à donner consistance à la fiction qu’il faut écrire. Espace de toutes les libertés, les Carnets de Blais sont également saturés de schémas, de plans illustrés et de portraits peints et dessinés de la main de l’auteure. Ces manuscrits nous permettent de retracer sur les plans textuels (de l’étape prérédactionnelle à l’étape rédactionnelle) et visuels (des schémas aux portraits, en passant par les croquis) la lente et progressive élaboration de ces trois romans. C’est en cernant les tâtonnements de l’écriture, les pulsions soudaines du tracé (croquis et portraits), que la vie de cette production littéraire et iconographique en mouvement a pu être restituée.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract The pre-eminent figure in mid-Victorian psychological medicine, Dr. John Conolly had his reputation damaged in the 1850s by scandals linking him to cases of wrongful confinement, including one that figures in Charles Reade’s novel, Hard Cash. This essay looks at two major works Conolly published during the scandals and argues that they are responses to the charges against him. Both works focus on representations of insanity in art, rather than actual patients. “The Physiognomy of Insanity” (1858-59) is a series of essays on photographic portraits of asylum patients, and his essays prove to be more fictional than factual. A Study of Hamlet (1863) looks at the ambiguity of madness in Shakespeare’s portrayal of Hamlet, but it explains how Conolly understood the relationship between fact and fiction in cases of insanity. In both works, Conolly defends himself as an aesthete and defines his diagnostic method as a deliberate and necessary form of impressionism.

Abandoning the strong focus on antagonistic relationships of previous narratives, the five novels analysed in this article represent a new approach to the history of the war that aims to view the enemy through what Bull and Hansen (2016) have called agonistic memory, which includes the perspective of the perpetrator to understand conflicts.Previously, when Norwegian authors included German soldiers in narratives about World War II, it was part of a general portrait of the enemy. The individual soldier has few distinct features and no independent identity. These portraits followed the hegemonic Norwegian narrative of the occupation: The good Norwegians, who were part of the home front, versus the Germans and the morally inferior Norwegians who supported them. However, in the last ten years, several novels have revisited the war narrative through representations of previously neglected groups, one of which is the German soldier. The five novels have quite different approaches, but they all question the traditional Norwegian war narrative through complex representations of the enemy. My analysis of the five texts will identify how the texts challenge the conventional history of the occupation through an agonistic perspective that aims to revisit how the war is remembered. These representations of the German soldiers are a central part of the new examination of the long shadows cast by the memories of war in Norway.

This essay analyzes how various memorials create physical, temporal, and literary space for reflection about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. As a New York Times reporter, Amy Waldman contributed in 2001 to the “Portraits of Grief” before publishing in 2011 The Submission, her novel about the memorial-building process. Juxtaposing Waldman's fiction and journalism with the Reflecting Absence memorial in New York and Columbia University's 9/11 Oral History Project, the essay explores how memorialization of the attacks can build space for democratic debate rather than just a public monument to the idea of national grief.

Bruno Schulz’s drawings in which we may find the faces of his friends and colleagues, the students and teachers of the Drogobych high school, have been scattered. Most of them perished during World War II. Some of those which have been preserved now belong to private collections. Thanks to a favorable coincidence, some pencil sketches by Schulz have been found in such a collection. They show an intriguing young woman, Stanisława Szczepańska, who in 1934-1936 worked as an unpaid teacher at the Drogobych high school. There she met Schulz who drew her portraits during school breaks as well as during lessons, when he would come in, take a seat in the last row, and draw her face. Until now little has been known about Szczepańska. After so many years it is worth disclosing a secret: who was she? What happened to her later? How did it happen that Schulz noticed her? How was it possible to save the drawings? The present paper provides answers to these and many other questions as the author has made an attempt to show how Szczepańska’s biography became a part of Schulz’s artistic heritage. Pencil sketches definitely belong to a more general project of the Drogobych artist as exercises in portraying faces both in drawing and fiction. Studying faces was very important to Schulz. In his work, the drawing practice and fiction are closely related to each other. To find out more about them, it is essential to find and save Schulz’s scattered works. This postulate has been articulated in the paper supplemented with the reproductions of Schulz’s sketches and photographs from the Hoffmann family collection. The portraits of Szczepańska tell a unique story – about charm, the art of seeing, and Schulz’s Book of Faces.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The paper focuses on the portrait of the First World War veterans in selected British and Canadian novels published at the turn of the twenty-first century. The authors use various means to depict the phenomenon of trauma: from flashbacks disrupting the present, through survivor guilt, nightmares and suicide, to aporia and the collapse of representation. The comparative approach used in the article highlights national differences, yet also shows that the discourse of futility and trauma provides a trasnational framework to convey the suffering of the First World War. As a result, although resulting in social castration and disempowerment, trauma serves here as a vehicle for a critique of the disastrous aftermath of the 1914-1918 conflict and the erasures of collective memory. Re-enacting traumatic plots, the British and Canadian novels under consideration explore little known facets of the 1914-1918 conflict, while simultaneously addressing some of our most pressing anxieties about the present, such as social marginalization, otherness, and lonely death.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In writing a trilogy of novels on the life and times of Nathan Zuckerman, American Jewish Writer, Philip Roth has waded manfully into a tradition even more thickly and brilliantly populated than the one he selected as literary background for The Breast. If the grotesque metamorphosis of David Kepesh into a six–foot, one–hundred–and–fifty–pound female breast compels us to compare Roths novel with some of the great texts of Kafka and Gogol, in Zuckerman Bound Roth invokes the more formidable context of James, Proust, Joyce, Lawrence, Mann, and Gide (to mention only a few), several of whose artist–portraits are identified in the trilogy and all implied. Roth has said in an interview that the novelty of this particular portrait is that it describes the comedy that an artistic vocation can turn out to be in the U.S.A.1 The comedy pertains not only to the career of Zuckerman himself, a series of zany encounters with writers, readers, and critics, whose responses to one Zuckerman fiction become the action of the next, but also to Roths typical strategy of challenging and recreating any prior tradition or convention, however sacrosanct. The crux of Rothian comedy is to expose, embarrass, and ridicule, to break bonds and boundaries, pieties and platitudes.

ABSTRACT: This essay aims to complicate and question the pervasive image of James Joyce, and his own self-image, as "[u]nfellowed, friendless and alone," by looking at the role of friends and friendship in Joyce's life and in the lives of his major self-portraits, Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom. I examine Joyce's relationship with his most important friends, such as Vincent Cosgrave, J. F. Byrne, Oliver St. John Gogarty, Frank Budgen, Samuel Beckett, Paul Léon, and others—notably a number of women, including Sylvia Beach, Maria Jolas, and Harriet Shaw Weaver. Those relationships were complex, as are the friendships in Joyce's fiction. In A Portrait , Davin, for example, says that Stephen is "[a]lways alone," yet in Lynch and Cranly he has close friends. In Ulysses , the friendships with Mulligan and Lynch are notably strained. But while Stephen is cynical about friends and, by extension, friendship, it is Bloom who is, in fact, apparently without any close friends: he seems to have only acquaintances (like Molly as well, for that matter). Yet Bloom and Stephen form a bond that, although it is hard to define and almost certainly temporary, seems to bring a measure of comfort to both of them.

nnovation in the field of learning is needed so that learning becomes interesting and fun. The development of learning innovations in the form of thematic videos stimulating students' imagination to write poetry is one of the efforts to make learning to write poetry fun and make it easy to write poetry. The method used to develop thematic videos stimulating students' imagination to write poetry is the ADDIE method. Imagination-stimulating thematic videos cover four broad themes: nature, events, self-portraits, and fiction. Each theme consists of five videos with a duration of 5 minutes so the total videos produced are 20 videos. Imagination-stimulating thematic videos are accompanied by guidebooks and even complete with course descriptions, semester learning plans, and lecture units of the first to sixteenth meetings. Video thematic imagination stimulants proved to be able to arouse the imagination of students before writing poetry, in fact when the video I tested in a poetry writing class in 2018, they were so absorbed that even some students were moved and cried when watching the imagination-stimulating video of the self-portrait theme, namely 'mother'. The results of the trial showed that thematic videos stimulating imagination were able to provoke students to be more productive in writing poetry.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Recent postcolonial novels have touched on Islamic faith and the Prophet, presenting a humanised image of Islam and Muḥammad. Such fiction has succeeded in writing back to Orientalist dehumanisation of the Other and stereotypes of Muslims as well as writing against fundamentalist reactionary appropriation of Islam. Leila Aboulela in The Translator (1999) interprets Islam literally and metaphorically to non-Muslims in a fictional romance that takes the protagonists from Scotland to Sudan. Assia Djebar in Loin de Médine (1991) deals with the beginnings of Islam in Arabia. This historical novel concentrates on women's voices that have been marginalised or dropped altogether from accounts by male historians. Salim Bachi in Le Silence de Mahomet (2008), narrates the advent of Islam through multiple points of view: by two wives of the Prophet, Khadīja and ʿĀʾisha, as well as by two influential men, the Prophet's companion Abū Bakr and the military leader Khālid b. al-Walīd. This polyphonic novel allows the complexity and diversity of worldviews to be juxtaposed and intertwined. The three novels offer fresh humane portraits of iconic figures and of Islam's message while simultaneously highlighting human frailty and splendour.

Una novela constituye un universo en toda regla, producto de la imaginaciόn de un escritor. En el corazόn de este universo se mueven personajes representando a seres humanos segùn las modalidades de la ficciόn. Los atributos que permiten reconstruir sus retratos se prestan a diversas interpretaciones. Estas no solamente implican consideraciones estéticas (porque el escritor es “antes de nadaˮ un artista), sino también sociolόgicas y antropolόgicas, debido a que la literatura no puede ser disociada de las realidades proprias de la vida social y comunitaria. De hecho, el nombre siendo la referencia identitaria que especifica al individuo a priori, que y le distingue de sus semejantes, es interesante ver hasta qué punto es rico en implicaciones y “nos hablaˮ en las novelas de Alain Mabanckou. En efecto; los nombres de sus personajes definen totalmente a los seres que los llevan. Sugieren aspectos de su personalidad o incluso influyen en sus destinos. Y con razόn, comprender el sentido de sus significados aporta una luz nada despreciable a los relatos del escritor congolés. A novel constitutes a fully-fledged universe a product of a writer’s imagination. The characters representing some beings move to the core of this universe according to the modes of the fiction. The attributes that permit to reconstitute their portraits are suitable to various interpretations. These not only imply aesthetic considerations ( because the writer is first of all an artist ) , but also sociological and anthropological, insofar the literature would not be dissociated of the realities of the social and communal life. In fact, the name being the identical reference that first specifies the individual and distinguishes him/her of his/her fellow creatures, it is permissible to see to what point it is rich of implications and “talking” in the novels of Alain Mabanckou. Indeed ; the names of his characters define the people who carry them in the absolute. They suggest aspects oh their personality or influence their destiny. And for reason, to seize the senses of which they are invested brings non negligible lightings on the narrations that the congolese writer provides us with.

Celles-ci impliquent non seulement des considérations esthétiques (parce que l’écrivain est avant tout un artiste), mais aussi sociologiques et anthropologiques, dans la mesure où la littérature ne saurait être dissociée des réalités propres à la vie sociale et communautaire. De fait, le nom étant la référence identitaire qui spécifie l’individu de prime abord et le distingue de ses semblables, il est intéressant de voir à quel point il est riche d’implications et « parlant » dans les roman d’Alain Mabanckou. En effet ; les noms de ses personnages définissent les êtres qui les portent dans l’absolu. Ils suggèrent des aspects de leur personnalité ou encore influencent leurs destinées. Et pour cause, saisir les sens dont ils sont investis apporte des éclairages non négligeables sur les récits que nous livre l’écrivain Congolais.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In this paper I will reflect on the role of photographs in the works of Daša Drndić. Mixing fictional and documentary modes is a characteristic feature of her texts. It is achieved among others by utilizing visual representations of the past. In my paper I aim to outline the strategies of visualization applied by the authoress (especially the traumatic, Holocaust-related experience), which materialize through photographs included in her works of literature. In the case of Drndić the visuals include for instance contemporary or archival photographs of places marked by the Holocaust and of Jewish inhabitants of Vienna as well as portraits of war criminals. Generally speaking, in her texts the photographs function as concretization (concretization) of the memory of injustice, of trauma and ultimately of the Holocaust. The photographs are by no means neutral images though they are commonly perceived as such. Interaction between the text (itself skirting the boundary between fact and fiction) and the image puts the latter in a position that is far from neutral. In Drndić’s case, the photos are often used as an inventory (archival) practice, but they constitute predominantly a way of overcoming the crisis, related to the intention of giving an account of the past, particularly a testimony of the Holocaust.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article is devoted to the poetics of the short story cycle - a genre of short narrative fiction, where classical traditions and experimental narrative techniques are used to explicate topical issues of contemporary British literature. Beside the fact that the stories are relatively short, they are characterized by semantic compression, gaps in meaning, “internal” psychological plot, intensity, expressive imagery, lyricism, implications. The consistency of the short story cycle is created by thematic complementarity, coherence of style and composition. The short story cycle by J. McGregor ‘That Isn’t the Sort of Thing that Happens to Someone like You’ is devoted to everyday life of English Fenland inhabitants and can be attributed to the ‘narrative of community’ genre, traditional for British literature. McGregor’s short story cycle embodies almost all modern tendencies of the genre: a wide palette of themes within the framework of topical issues; vivid psychological portraits and images; variety of narrative types and forms; suggestiveness, implications, specific usage of pronouns, stylistic devices of contrast and repetition.

This article examines the subject of queues in the life and writings of Lu Xun (1881–1936), the most prominent figure in modern Chinese literature. The long-standing reluctance of readers and critics to associate this backward hairstyle with Lu Xun's iconic figure has restricted our understanding of the topic to two well-known satirical portraits in his short fiction, Ah Q and Sevenpounder. This article, however, proposes that the queue is of more than satiric interest—that the author's own experience raises fundamental questions about how he discloses and transmutes certain experiences in his writings. Starting from some little-studied events featuring queues in his pre-Republican years and a puzzling short story that recounts them, this essay analyzes the queue's autobiographical connections and their varied literary manifestations. It also makes a case for reexamining the uses of autobiography for a writer whose life story is an important part of his influence.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Film historian Giuliana Bruno commemorates celebrated filmmaker Chantal Akerman (1950–2015), whose intimate portraits of cities, lands, and homes captured the passing of everyday life and intensified our own sense of time, memory, and space. Akerman's breakthrough film, Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), exposed the strictures of women's time and space while creating a new cinematic language of observation and duration. She continued to experiment with moving images throughout her life, moving easily between fiction and documentary, cinemas and gallery exhibitions. In the mid-1990s, Akerman began to engage in an expanded field of film-based installation art, at an early stage of the cultural movement that still drives today's filmmakers and artists to work between media. Bruno's personal evocation of Akerman's oeuvre highlights the filmmaker's use of the screen as both filter and threshold, in order to convey a relationship between interiority and exteriority, and physical and mental space, a relationship delicately tailored to Akerman's particular version of empathy.

The socio-cultural appearance of students in the system of state labor reserves has not been the subject of special study by specialists. At the same time, the creation in 1940 of the system of state labor reserves of the USSR was accompanied by the formation of a specific social group, the study of the socio-cultural characteristics of which will complement the already existing ideas about the working youth of the Soviet period. The subject of the study are documents as historical sources. The object is students of the system of state labor reserves as a separate social group. The purpose of the article is to present a corpus of official documents and documents of personal origin, which are historical sources for the reconstruction of stable, integral images of students, forming the basis of "ceremonial" and "non–parade" portraits as a set of characteristics (markers) aimed at highlighting socio-demographic features, cultural values and mental characteristics, behavioral practices and appearance of representatives of this social group. The methodological basis of the research is the methods of source analysis and synthesis, which allow to reveal the content component of documents for the study of the declared topic. The results of the study are: 1) the allocation of six types of historical sources from the official records of the central and regional labor reserves management bodies to fiction, allowing to reconstruct the "parade" and "non-parade" portraits of students of the state labor reserves system as a separate social group; 2) disclosure of the information potential of these six types of historical sources, taking into account their source-study features for the reconstruction of the socio-cultural appearance of students.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The paper continues the author's research series in the field of women's eating disorders. The focus of this work is on cases of anorexia nervosa, provoked by the desire of the individual to identify himself with the ideal body image, in which the thanatological intention is clearly traced. The destructive impact of an ideal aesthetic image on a person with these features of artistic perception is considered on the example of biographical fiction portraits, stories, novels of teenage girls and young womens suffering from anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. The author examines the manifesto of anorexia “I don't want to have a doll — I want to be a doll” in the framework of a social semiotic concept. The author sees this phenomenon as interdisciplinary problem that lies on the border of art, psychopathology and thanatology philosophy. The methodological basis of the research is the art semiotic concepts, notion “celebrity anorexia” by E. Burke, the theory of performance by E. Fischer-Lichte, the consept “an aesthetic object” of M.M. Bakhtin.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article deals with the functioning of architectural terms in non-professional discourse (based on A. Rand's novel 'The Fountainhead'). The topicality of the research is determined by the growing interest in terminology in general and in art terminology in particular. This interest reflects the increased role of science in modern society. The study of the functioning of architectural terms is the least explored field. Special attention is paid by the authors to non-professional discourse within the framework of which architectural terms perform important functions which, however, have not been studied in detail. The functioning of terms in a work of fiction is a complex process which does not only add the professional touch to the plot of the novel, but which also supplements it with different connotations. The methods of the research include the following: contextual analysis of the functions of architectural terms in the novel, terminological selection, componential analysis based on the analysis of definitions. The functioning of terms in the text of a work of art has demonstrated that, on the one hand, terms share certain functions with words of the general language, and on the other, their main role the nominative function turns into the function of figurative thinking and figurative expression, which are the integral functions of fiction. The research has shown that architectural terms in 'The Fountainhead' are characterized by the following parameters: the expansion of the initial meaning of the term, inclusion of the author's meanings in the semantics of the term, the creation of the effect of professional presence, the reflection of the inner world of the characters and the creation of their psychological portraits.

Abstract Although a number of scholars have tackled the figure of the Black folk-healer in Toni Morrison’s novels, the character deserves greater attention in the present moment for the insights she provides into two contemporary catastrophes: the coronavirus pandemic and the structural racism that precipitates rampant violence against brown-skinned people in the United States. Beginning with M’Dear, the elderly woman who is brought in to treat Cholly’s Aunt Jimmy in The Bluest Eye (1970), I survey descriptions of several root workers, hoodoo practitioners, and midwives in Morrison’s fiction, including Ajax’s mother in Sula (1973) and Milkman’s aunt Pilate in Song of Solomon (1977). Morrison’s portraits of these women and their communities capture the endurance of African folk customs, the undervalued knowledge of aged members of society, and a sense of Black women’s strength beyond that of the physical, laboring, or hypersexual body. The fictional experiences of Morrison’s healers also alert readers to the very real injustices that have historically impeded the successes of African Americans—and continue to hamper them, as has been exposed during the COVID-19 crisis and public outrages over police brutality. These injustices include inequities in lifelong earning potential, education, housing, and access to healthcare. Paying closer attention to the Nobel Laureate’s root-working women makes her novels more than simply “transformative” and “empowering” for individual readers; analyzing these figures allows one to unearth important critiques of medical bias and other forms of discrimination against marginalized members of society—disparities that must be dismantled in the push for social change.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Throughout this paper I have systematized and studied in critical terms, a range of Alice Munro mainly women-centric short stories, with an in-depth study of their living condition under the traditional social conventions. Being concerned about women Munro in her fiction has recreated the world of Canadian women, with its true picture of the Canadian society, with culture, custom and environment. She has continuously wrote about the invaluable document of human relationship, as well as female experience under social values and expectation. In her work, Munro explores women's role in different situation of life as a young girl, a career women, a lover, wife or mother. In each of these roles Canadian women found a reflection of their selves mirrored in Munro's chronical of women's social history down the decades. She writes about past experiences of her childhood, cultural traits and social structure that she minutely observed in her different age group. Her subjects are rural landscape, lives of girls and women, their coming of age, love, hate, marriage, suffering and stuff of rural life with reference to small town locality. Lake Huron, Otawa Valley and Wowanash County. Munro's strength, as a short story writer, is the range of her portraits of a variety of female characters from childhood to old age. In this way, most of the girls and women of Munro, as the main protagonists, confront, challenges at personal, familial and social level. However, they all are not alike; some are submissive and introvert and feeble while others bold, rebellious and self-indulgent who are real girls and women of Munrovian model, search their original self, and who put aside all their pretentions, show the Canadian society, alternatively, to the world what they, in reality are. Muro is a realistic writer, her character a represent cultural reality of rural Canadianness of her age. Del and Rose are Munrovian iconic characters, with whom she reveals her own childhood, youth and maturity and they have been transfigured in her favorite books Lives of Girls and Women and Beggar Maid intentionally. Protagonists of Dance and Progress are modelled on herself.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Depuis le début du XXIe siècle, la démocratisation d’Internet et de ses relais (téléphones intelligents, tablettes, ordinateurs portables) a rebattu les cartes du paysage médiatique, augmentant le nombre de producteurs et de récepteurs d’informations. Les images et vidéos ont ainsi acquis un spectre d’action élargi, bien que fortement concurrencé. Les terroristes l’ont bien compris qui, pour se faire entendre et propager leur message, adoptent des codes visuels et scénaristiques aussi violents que spectaculaires. Dans ce contexte, un certain nombre de romans s’attèlent à mettre en lumière les relations entre le terrorisme et les médias, entre la violence des attentats et le monde – financier, culturel, médiatique – qu’ils prétendent abattre. Notre contribution s’attache à décrire cette dénonciation du capitalisme en établissant sa dette envers le concept debordien de « spectacle » : le capitalisme déréalise les expériences et récupère la critique, de sorte que même dans l’extériorité qu’elle tente de se ménager, la contestation terroriste hérite de ses logiques et modes de fonctionnement. Les krachs et les bombes semblent donc brûler du même feu, prétexte à détourner le dernier film de Debord (In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni, 1978) dans notre titre. En déplaçant certaines des thèses de Guy Debord sur le terrain de la fiction, il semble que le roman contemporain se les réapproprie, rendant toute son actualité à la pensée du situationniste.
