يمثل اغتراب الوعي الجمالي قضية مهمة فرضت نفسها بكل قوة، في الآونة الأخيرة، نظرا لتفشي النماذج الفنية الغامضة والمزيفة، التي تشبه الفن، والتي لعبت في ضوء هذا الشبه دورا كبيرا في انعزال كل أطراف ...التجربة الجمالية عن العالم الذي تنتمي إليه. ولذا اعتبر تولستوي فساد الذوق نتيجة طبيعة لما يتم عرضه على المتلقي من أعمال مزيفة، والحل من وجهة نظره إما بعودة الصلة الوثيقة بين الفن والدين، أو عن طريق عدوى الفن بما تنطوي عليه من معايير للفن الجيد، الذي بإمكانه تجاوز فساد الذوق. فهل كان شخيص تولستوي لأسباب فساد الذوق سليما؟ وهل نجح في إصلاحه، أم تسببت آراؤه في تفاقم تلك الأزمة؟

The proclamation of Belarusian independence on March 25, 1918, and the rival establishment of the Soviet Belarusian state on January 1, 1919, created two distinct and mutually exclusive national ...myths, which continue to define contemporary Belarusian society. This book examines the processes that resulted in this dual resolution in the context of World War I and the subsequent Russian Revolutions. Based on original archival material, Lizaveta Kasmach scrutinizes the development of competing concepts of Belarusian nationhood in the context of rivaling national aspirations and imperial policies. The analysis convincingly demonstrates the divisions within the nationalist movement, both politically between the moderates and socialists, and geographically between German-occupied territory with Vilna as a center versus Russian-controlled territory around Minsk. Besides the case study of Belarusian nation-building efforts, the book is a contribution to the study of the First World War in East Central Europe, approaching the war and its aftermath as a mobilizational moment in the region.
The paper is concentrated on the autobiography in the writings of Stefan Żółkiewski. Due to the lack of classic autobiography, Sidorowicz decides to analyze archival materials, prefaces and ...interviews that meet the condition of Lejeune’s autobiographical pact. The analysis focuses, in accordance with the title metaphor, on the kinks visible in these texts. in order to draw attention to the conditions under which a strong self-construction appears. The author tries to show that a constitutive feature of Żółkiewski’s autobiographical writing is its strong involvement in society biographies.
The first extensive English language study of Julien Gracq's work, this book focuses on the role of history in his two major novels and his critical essays. Carol Murphy draws on contemporary ...theories of allegory, textuality, and history in her analysis of the interplay of fictional and factual history in Gracq's writings. She also shows that history's rhetorical dimension, as presented by Gracq, puts forth the hypothesis that narratives of history influence actual events. In addition, she uses Freudian theory to investigate the links between Walter Benjamin's understanding of history as ruin, Gracq's sense of catastrophic history, and Andre Breton's notion of the "emotional coefficient" of history.
