In mapping geopolitics and spirituality, Crusade songs enacted motion and travel. Directionality and circularities typify Crusade songs and Crusaders alike. Songs variously embody dialogues between singing and hearing, the actions of Crusaders traveling both outremer and homeward. As songs moved through geographical spaces, bodies, air, and time, they articulated new contexts. Multiply re-created, songs emerged from composite and collective processes that included monks, troubadours, performers, scribes, and listeners. Contrafacture, seen in the relationship between Walther von der Vogelweide’s Palästinalied and Jaufre Rudel’s Lanqan li jorn, demonstrates the dialogic nature of these layers of creation, and how differing Crusade perspectives re-inscribe a song’s expression of striving, movement, or conclusion. Overall, Occitanian songs rendered the Crusade front as areas inflected by regional perspectives, from unknown spaces to meaningful places. Using techniques like deictic language, oppositional rhetoric, and circular motion, Crusade songs reinforced contemporaneous ideologies in both their poetic texts and directed melodic shapes.

This volume addresses issues central to the study of ancient Greek performance culture: the role played by music in performed poetry; the ancients’ understanding of the relationship between music, poetry, and performance; and music’s relation to other areas of ancient intellectual life. This chapter comprises a brief discussion of the evidential difficulties involved in attempting to appreciate the effects created by ancient Greek music in conjunction with poetic texts. Some contemporary methodological approaches are canvassed as aids to this attempt, and an overview is provided of the chapters that make up the volume.

This paper explores the issues of representativeness and participation in the collective processes involved in the elaboration of the geographical indications (GI) specifications and the governance of the GI initiatives. The objective is to understand the relationship among collective dynamics, representativeness of relevant stakeholders, and the legal frameworks for the protection of GIs. Using a qualitative methodology based on an analysis of six case studies in France and Vietnam, we show the role of the law in shaping the different ways of understanding and implementing the concept of representativeness in the French producer-led and the Vietnamese state-driven approaches to GI protection. In France, the GI specifications result from negotiations among all legitimate stakeholders, which may prove long, complex, and lead to standards that can continue to be challenged after the GI registration. We also argue that the rules for the representation of all GI users in the decision-making processes do not necessarily lead to fairness. In Vietnam, local stakeholders usually have a consultative role under the authority of the State, resulting in their little understanding and low use of the GI. Their empowerment is further hindered by the involvement of state authorities in the management of the producers’ associations. We conclude by discussing in-between solutions to promote the producers’ representation and participation.

The article discusses approaches to a holistic analysis of poetic texts of the 21st century at Literature Olympiads. The main aim of this academic activity of senior schoolchildren is to teach them to demonstrate their own understanding of a poem through considering it as an integral unity of elements and analyzing the most essential features of its artistic structure. The author answers the following questions: what knowledge, skills, competences are tested by assignments on contemporary poetry? What poetics features of modern literature require special attention and how to teach senior schoolchildren to carry out analysis correctly? How can “Olympiad” poetry be of interest to a modern secondary schooler? On the material of the poems by Polina Barskova, Alexei Tsvetkov and Vladimir Gandelsman the article shows possible ways of text analysis that have formed in practical work – primarily in the Sirius educational center (Sochi). The author uses P. Barskova’s poem “Happiness” (2001), included in the tasks of the final stage of the 2019 Literature Olympiad, to show the methods of work with subtext / intertext and subject structure. The relationship between the object-based and symbolic plans, of the empirically “true-to-life” plot and the biblical subtext are in the focus of attention during the analysis of A. Tsvetkov’s poem “The experience of the end of the world” (2019). V. Gandelsman’s poem “In the morning, right after dawn, I am at the foot…” (2018) was offered to students at a trial competition in “Sirius”. The article contains excerpts from the works of secondary school students, showing how they interpreted the poem.

The aim of the research is to prove the possibility of transmitting socio-cultural experience between generations during the post-literacy period based on of carnivalization techniques, which are considered as a universal phenomenon that accumulates mythological beliefs and magical (mysterious) actions common to both art and Internet communication texts. This article examines such a feature of the transfer of experience between generations in modern society as pre-figurativeness, which shows the relationship of and relations between ”parents” and ”children” and the features of socialization in this culture (described as the so-called ”cyber-socialization”). The study, based on an analysis of classical literature texts (poetic texts by A. A. Akhmatova), as well as blogs on the livejournal.com and diary.ru platforms, shows that these different texts use speech masks that can identify both the poet and the Network user. The authors also conclude that Internet communication is a special space in which the problem of information security becomes relevant, which is understood through philosophical reflection and brought to the level of philosophical analysis.

Johann Sebastian Bach set the poetic texts in the Christmas Oratorio—everything that isn’t gospel narrative or hymn stanza—to music he had originally composed for civic occasions. This raises many questions, particularly about the relation between liturgical and secular musical styles in the early eighteenth century. Bach clearly felt able to reuse this music in the Oratorio, but the listener can hear features of that work that point to nonliturgical origins, things that tend to happen more often (or only) in nonchurch pieces. Bach and his librettist found ways to connect the two worlds, identifying religious and theological topics that resonated with textual and musical ideas in the worldly originals they adapted. Evidently motivated by a desire to make full use of the adapted compositions, they also transformed some pieces in ways that force us to consider assumptions about the relationship between text and music in Bach’s works.

This study concerns the relationship between agent, author, and matters of fact in the doctrine and practice of classical empiricism. More particularly, it aims to provide a tentative answer to the following questions: how were empirical facts originally considered the principal object of scientific research and communication? What were the images of human conduct and the ethical codes which accompanied the rise of the fact as the prime object of human understanding? What rhetorical sources were originally deployed for the purpose of the communication of scientific factual knowledge? The historical study of empiricism provides a critical perspective on positivism on the one hand, and social constructivism on the other. It yields important insights into the linkage between experience and intentionality and its role in establishing trust in collective processes of learning.

Phono-stylistics is a promising research area. Expressive power of a text depends on its phonetic imagery. The research objective was to identify the pragmatic features of phonic expressive means in translations of contemporary English poetry. The methods included a comparative analysis, phono-semantic and phono-stylistic interpretation of the original poems and their translations, and O. N. Tynyanov's law of versification. The method of sound counting developed by E. V. Elkina and L. S. Yudina was used to calculate the frequency of sounds in the context of phono-semantic analysis in the Russian translations. The method of sound counting designed by Tsoi Vi Chuen Thomas was used to calculate the frequency of sounds in the original English texts. The theoretical foundation of the research was formed by the works by M. A. Balash, G. V. Vekshin, Z. S. Dotmurzieva, V. N. Elkina, A. P. Zhuravlev, L. V. Laenko, F. Miko, L. P. Prokofyeva, E. A. Titov, etc. The study featured the phonics and pragmatics of S. Dugdale’s poem Zaitz and its three translations made by E. Tretyakova, A. Shchetinina, and M. Vinogradova, and C. E. Duffy’s Anne Hathaway translated by Yu. Fokina. The author compared the pragmatics of sound imagery in the English originals and their Russian translations. The research made it possible to define the role of sound imagery in the poetic discourse, as well as the relationship between the sound organization of poetic speech and the pragmatic value at the phonographic level. The results can be used in courses of translation, stylistics, and phonetics.

The Relationship

This chapter explores the relationship between suspended spheres and interdisciplinary poetic reading, drawing on popular and pedagogical writing that invites reflection on patriotic fantasies' relations to post-Victorian processes of reading—and unreading—sentimental poetic texts. It first analyzes Virginia Woolf's “The Works of Mrs. Hemans,” which not only presents learning to unread sentimental poetry as an educational rite of passage, but encourages the cultivation of part comic, part courtly, part anxious visions of naïve and sentimental readers. It then considers Felicia Dorothea Hemans's “Casabianca” and compares it to Elizabeth Bishop's “Casabianca,” arguing that consent to the patriotic Poetess terrors of Hemans may well serve as prerequisite for rendering the terrifying critical and political as well as poetic achievement of Bishop's modernist elegy fully legible. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the New York Times' volume Portraits: 9/11/01; The Collected “Portraits of Grief”.

This article examines the historical value of poetical texts, such as the Roman poet Martial’sEpigrams, with regard to the relationship betweencaptatores(legacy hunters) and wealthy, often elderly single women. By comparing the provisions and limits of private law, common practices of acquisition, and wealth management in Roman society during the first and second centuries AD with the behavioral patterns elaborated in poetic texts, this article demonstrates that the theme of legacy hunting was not a mere literarytopos, but a scenario based on models of gender and age in addition to the values associated with them. Unmarried and childless women of the elite could be depicted as very wealthy and powerful due to their ability to establish personal relationships through the transmission of their wealth. Martial’s perception of the modes of communication and interaction between female testari-ces and male legacy hunters are interpreted as reflections of male experiences of belittlement.
