Med utgangspunkt i diskusjonar om fiksjonell referensialitet og etikk i romanar som baserer seg på eit faktisk liv, blir det argumentert for at romanen forhandlar fram både ein røyndomskontrakt og ein fiksjonskontrakt, noko som gjer at den narrative konstruksjonen kan overta for livet som er levd.

The article analyzes the letters of 1857–1858 by Demian Kochubey (1786–1859), a high-ranking official in St. Petersburg, to his relative Hryhorii Galagan (1819–1888), a public figure, both of whom ...belonged to the top local nobility of Left-bank Ukraine. The main theme of these important epistolary texts is the preparation for the abolition of serfdom. This example demonstrates the significant information potential of epistolary materials for the study of emancipatory projects. In particular, from this source we learn about the ideological and moral preconditions of Emancipation reform, from French liberal political economy to Christian humanism, and see the breadth of specific problems facing supporters of peasant emancipation, such as the financial possibilities of the state to ensure the redemption of landed estates for peasants, the principles of peasant land tenure in the post-reform period, the establishment of positive interaction between landlords and peasants after their emancipation for the economic prosperity and avoidance of social conflicts. It is argued that relying on epistolary materials will contribute to the cultural and anthropological understanding of the «emancipation projects» of Ukrainian public figures in the mid-nineteenth century. The need to continue the publication of epistolary materials for further in-depth study of the preparation and implementation of the Emancipation reform was emphasized.

Two recent performances, Demian DinéYazhí’s An Infected Sunset (2018) and Karen Finley’s Written in Sand (1992–ongoing), address issues related to HIV/AIDS from the perspective of an ongoing pandemic ...that is interconnected with other forms of structural negligence and personal mourning. Whereas a growing number of early AIDS crisis revivals and restagings have mythologized the climate of crisis that shaped AIDS during the 1980s and ’90s, this essay considers how these two artists navigate tensions between the past and ongoing AIDS crisis through the lens of chronicity, a theory taken up in conversation with Elizabeth Freeman and other scholars of performance and temporality. Through close readings of both performances, the author brings new light to the linear histories that structure our understanding of the AIDS pandemic, and the crucial role that theatre and performance play in reconfiguring its narrative arc.
This paper brings together biographies of the earliest historiographers of the Military Frontier, whose works represent the inevitable “zero point” in historical disciplines as well as the humanities ...at large. These historiographers include Johann Andreas Demian (ca. 1770 – 1845), Carl Bernhard von Hietzinger (November 3, 1786 – March 26, 1864), Mathias Stopfer (1795 – September 8, 1841), Franz de Paula Julius Frass (1794 – March 11, 1868), Paul Kussan (January 12, 1795 – February 2, 1875), Franz Bach (1793 – February 3, 1868), Josef Hostinek (1830 – January 10, 1905), Leopold Martin Krainz (1834 – December 26, 1872), and Franz Vaniček (July 6, 1809 – April 6, 1894). Their lives were reconstructed on the basis of previously published data in secondary literature, and gaps were filled in, where possible, with the help of relevant monthly army censuses, the accompanying documentation, and registry books. Transfer certificates, which in addition to basic information on personal lives offer a very detailed overview of progress in the professional career, helped the most. Using these documents, it was possible to correct some overlooked errors in the previously published biographies. Comparing the biographies of the first historiographers of the Military Frontier, the authors have noticed some very interesting similarities as well as differences. Most of the studied persons were officials of the Military Frontier administration, except for Demian and Hietzinger, who belonged to the highest military council in Vienna, and Krainz, who partly made his career in a military unit. Three of them were prominent members of educational staff in the Military Frontier. Stopfer was a professor at the Military Administration School in Graz, Frass was the principal of all schools in the Karlovac Generalate, and Vaniček was the principal of the Higher Grammar School in Vinkovci. Bach and Krainz served as military judges. Historiographers with most writings relevant to the Military Frontier are Demian, Stopfer and Vaniček. Hietzinger, Kussan, Bach, Hostinek, and Krainz published one seminal work each. While at the beginning the emphasis was on statistics and geography, from the mid-19th century the focus increasingly shifted to historical events. Most authors based themselves on works published before theirs: Hietzinger on Demian, Stopfer on Hietzinger, Frass on Hietzinger and Stopfer, and so on. However, the most interesting discoveries about their personal and professional lives concern the way these were intertwined. Based on the available and collected data, it could be established that seven of the nine mentioned persons lived to be between 74 and 84 years old. Stopfer died the youngest, at the age of 45, and it was not possible to find out Krainz’s date of death. A combination of high age and a long professional career, which implied frequent transfers, created favourable conditions for possible encounters. Between 1828 and 1830, Stopfer and Bach served simultaneously in the Otočac Regiment, Hostinek was a student of Vaniček and then Stopfer, and Vaniček was member of a society whose president was Hietzinger, the Imperial and Royal Geographical Society in Vienna (k. k. Geographische Gesellschaft). Although the authors of this paper have tried to shed as much light as possible on the careers of historiographers whose works have been indispensable guideposts on the path of scholarly knowledge about the Military Frontier as a historical phenomenon, the primary intention was to encourage further research into this understudied historical topic.
The article is devoted to the study of gender in the works of the German writer Hermann Hesse, in particular the gender roles and archetypes of anima and animus traced in characters of his novels. ...During the research, the role of the androgynous personality in society has been clarified. The anima and animus as the most important definitions in gender studies are singled out from the general system of archetypes by Carl Gustav Jung. Features and ways of synthesis of masculine and feminine principles in the human psyche are characterized. The analysis of the works of Hermann Hesse includes the novels “Demian” (1919) and “Narcissus and Goldmund” (1930). With the definition of the concepts, the presence of elements of the psychoanalysis theory and gender studies in the works of Hermann Hesse has been proved. The characters of the novel have been analyzed and characterized in terms of masculinity and femininity. Due to this research, we have been able to clearly define the system of images from the perspective of gender, which makes it possible to use literary works in gender issues more confidently and to characterize the writing activity in a more structured way against the background of gender studies.
The year 1920 saw the shaping and crystallisation of stylistic and literary-ideological canon regarding the dispute about Bolshevik Russia’s place in European civilisation. The sides of the ...Polish-Soviet conflict are in possession of a large arsenal of tropes and rhetorical figures, routinely used in printed sources, occasional publications, posters, caricatures, postcards and all kinds of gadgets. Particular attention was dedicated to the creation of massive weapon of “war on paper and canvas”, i.e. to propaganda and ideological proselytism. A propaganda war was imposed upon Poland prior to the armed conflict. The political weapons deployed by the Russia of Lenin and Trotsky – violent agitation and propaganda aimed against the “White Poles” and favouring “Soviet Poland” – significantly supported military efforts and political-diplomatic campaign. The numerous activists and artists engaged in the anti-Polish propaganda of the period included the especially noteworthy Vladimir Mayakovsky, Demian Biedny, Viktor Deni and Izaac Babel. Their bellicose poems and, in the case of the latter, satirical drawings incomparably kindled the will to struggle against the “White Poland”. Soviet propagandists regarded the Polish-Soviet war as a testing ground, with the experiments proving useful for planning future undertakings.
Основное направление работы связано с пропагандой в литературных произведениях во время польско-советской войны. Война между Советской Россией и возрождающимся польским государством велась также при помощи формирования идеологической и пропагандистской действительности. Пропагандистское оружие было так же опасно, как военные средства. Советская пропаганда периода войны 1920 годa носила решительно антипольский характер. Политические лидеры, как, например, Ленин, верили, что, засыпав Польшу агитационной литературой, они смогут переломить ход военных событий. В работу советской пропагандистской машины были вовлеченыкак выдающиеся, так и посредственные деятели искусства (писатели, художники, актеры), которые выполняли поручения высших партийных лиц. Ключевую роль в этом деле должны были играть российские писатели и литература, создаваемая ими. Наиболее востребованные в этот период литературные деятели, как Владимир Маяковский и Демьян Бедный, отдали свои творческие таланты на службу антипольской пропаганде. Их творчество стало инструментом, используемым российскими коммунистами для борьбы с идеологическими врагами, которые выступали против распространения интернационализма – высшей формы советского империализма.

Against Nazi dictatorship, the disillusionment of Weimar, and Christian austerity, Hermann Hesse's stories inspired a nonconformist yearning for universal values to supplant fanaticism in all its ...guises. He reenters our world through Gunnar Decker's biography—a champion of spiritual searching in the face of mass culture and the disenchanted life.
All artistic groups of non-propagandist writers (so called poputchiks) were forcedly dissolved in USSR in the early 1930s. First Soviet Writers’ Congress held in Moscow in 1934 proclaimed the ...socialist realism as an only permissible method for the Soviet Literature. It is commonly accepted among the historians that this ideological directive was more or less carried into effect and Soviet literature in the mid 30s became rather uniform — with the exception of only the uncensored and unpublished writers such as Daniil Kharms, Alexander Vvedenskii or Jan Satunovskii. However, discussing the history of loyal — and censored — poetry, we could see that its picture was also much more complicated: soviet poetry was consisting of a few polemizing movements. This paper is a part of a handbook chapter presenting the sketch of these movements: “sentimental populism”, post-Constructivism (group of “usual” Constructivists was dissolved in 1930), “neo-Romanticism” and historical poetry. Here the descriptions of “sentimental populism” and historical poetry are presented.
