Sītā of Sindh The aim of this paper is to show how the Sindhī community in India (Rājasthān) builds and strengthens its identity by using both traditional and modern means of transmission. The process of reinterpretation of tradition will be demonstrated by discussing the Ūmar–Mārvī story, which belongs to the repertoire of orally transmitted local Sindhī folk stories. The Ūmar–Mārvī story mainly emphasizes local patriotism and adherence to motherland. The message of the story is still valid in the 21st century. In the Surabhi, the literary magazine on Sindhī literature in the Hindī language issued periodically in Jaypur, it took the modern form of a comic book. Thus, it provides another example of a well-known fact in Indian culture, that of the old being repeated but in a new form. Despite using modern means of transmission, traditional mechanisms can still be seen. It seems that it is not enough for the Sindhī community to continue using the folk story but, moreover, it is necessary to give the story a higher rank (a recognised one) by placing it within the frames of the mainstream tradition, that is the so-called Great Tradition of the Hindu culture. This aim is achieved by making the heroine Mārvī equal to Sītā, and, thus, the Sindhī story is linked with the great epic Rāmāyaṇa. As a result, the final product is an old Sindhī folk story presented in the form of a comic book, targeted for a wider audience than the Sindhī community exclusively, entitled Sītā of Sindh (Sindh kī Sītā).

The article outlines the need to create a new didactic model of museum education activities, which will form the basis for its interaction with school. This need arises from visitors’ personality alternations, which cause education system changes as well as changes in the principal functions of the museum. The new model of school-museum interaction is based on a sociocultural approach, which is considered to be a methodological basis for education activities. . The new form of interaction involves the introduction of new didactic tools into museum education activities.

The article analyzes folk stories about COVID-19 recorded in the urban environment during March–December 2020. The authors identify different varieties of “COVID” prose (the cases from medical practice, “confessions” of the people on the way to recovery, “hypotheses” of the virus’s origin, gossips about the planned chipping, traditional recipes for “the Chinese infection”, etc.), determine their subject matter (the origin of the virus, the duration of the pandemic, methods of COVID treatment, the vaccine’s effectiveness, means of transmission, etc.); distinctive features of oral stories are also given: the content’s relevance, the responsiveness to new hypotheses and versions of the virus’s origin and treatment, the mobility of genre’s boundaries. The tales of medical workers, telling about extraordinary incidents in medical practice, combine the tragic and the comic features. Their characters are doctors, showing miracles of endurance and selflessness, and “sufferers” — patients who are worthy of respect and sympathy. Narratives existing in a vast sociocultural space are based both on personal experience and on information obtained from “official sources” (mass media, Internet, medical workers). The emergence and active development of “COVID” folklore is an indication of folklore’s dominant features to respond vividly to changes in human life and society and acts as a clear demonstration of the sustainable development of folk traditions at the present stage.

AbstractWe study threefolds Y fibred by $$A_m$$ A m -surfaces over a curve S of positive genus. An ideal triangulation of S defines, for each rank m, a quiver $$Q(\Delta _m)$$ Q ( Δ m ) , hence a $$CY_3$$ C Y 3 -category $$\mathcal {C}(W)$$ C ( W ) for any potential W on $$Q(\Delta _m)$$ Q ( Δ m ) . We show that for $$\omega $$ ω in an open subset of the Kähler cone, a subcategory of a sign-twisted Fukaya category of $$(Y,\omega )$$ ( Y , ω ) is quasi-isomorphic to $$(\mathcal {C},W_{[\omega ]})$$ ( C , W [ ω ] ) for a certain generic potential $$W_{[\omega ]}$$ W [ ω ] . This partially establishes a conjecture of Goncharov (in: Algebra, geometry, and physics in the 21st century, Birkhäuser/Springer, Cham, 2017) concerning ‘categorifications’ of cluster varieties of framed $${\mathbb {P}}GL_{m+1}$$ P G L m + 1 -local systems on S, and gives a symplectic geometric viewpoint on results of Gaiotto et al. (Ann Henri Poincaré 15(1):61–141, 2014) on ‘theories of class $${\mathcal {S}}$$ S ’.

In his 1909 work ‘Rites De Passage’, Arnold van Gennep acknowledges that a ritual often contains ‘rites within rites’. So, it was with the ancient ritual of the Irish wake, at the center of which was another ritual, that of the keen, the Irish funeral lament. The past tense is used tentatively here, as in this article the author explores the resilience of the ritual and how, rather than becoming extinct, the keen seems to spend periods of time underground before erupting again in a new form, attuning itself to a more contemporaneous social situation. Drawing on ethnographic and bibliographic research undertaken between 2010 and 2018, the author traces some of the history of the keen within the ritual of the Irish wake and funeral and gives instances of how it is being reconfigured in the 21st century. This continuation of the ritual, albeit in a new format, seems to speak to a deep emotional and spiritual need that may not be satisfied by more conventional religion in Ireland. Finally, the author considers the keen’s relevance and place in Irish society today.

L’Événement d’Annie Ernaux se caractérise par une poétique qui contraste, à première vue, avec la grande tradition du récit testimonial ou mémoriel. Même si un événement extérieur déclenche en elle une longue poussée vers l’intérieur où se déplient soudainement les parois de sa mémoire, elle ne parvient pas pour autant à traduire directement cette expérience par l’écriture. Ernaux convie le lecteur à une autre mise en forme de l’existence, où l’oscillation entre l’intériorité du sujet et l’extériorité du monde, où les traversées dans les méandres de la mémoire conduisent non pas à de nouvelles représentations où, par exemple, la juxtaposition de différentes strates temporelles ou mémorielles donnerait une nouvelle profondeur au récit, mais à des réflexions sur les limites de l’autoreprésentation et, du même coup, sur la faiblesse du langage à relayer les impressions subjectives empreintes dans la mémoire. Ce texte se consacre à l’étude de cette espèce de suspicion qui devient à la fois matière du récit et, surtout, une forme inédite de mimesis.AbstractAnnie Ernaux's L’Événement is characterized by a poetic that contrasts, at first sight, with the great tradition of testimonies and memoires. Even if an external event triggers in her an urge to unviel her memories, she cannot translate this experience directly in her writing. Ernaux invites the reader to another form of existence where the oscillation between the subject's interiority and the exteriority of the world have blurred boundaries and where her memory leads not as much to new representations where, for instance, the juxtaposition between different chronological layers would offer a new depth to the story, but more precisely to new reflections on the limits of self-representation and on the weakness of language to convey the subjective impressions of footprints in the memory. This text is devoted to the study of this kind of suspicion that becomes both the story's subject matter as well as a new form of mimesis.

Modern Sense

The end of empires and the rise of nation-states have transformed the way politics and societies operate and the modern sense of these changes, transformations, events, and situations. Language, culture, and memory are essential pillars of the nation-states’ projects of creating a new society. The modern form of government, the nation-state, use history not only as a means of transmission but also as a means of building identity and memory. This study examines the case files of three critical names in the Kurdish movement and the history-based debates in their trials. By applying discourse analysis, we have shown how the Turkish state and The Kurdish Workers’ Party used history as a tool to “prove” and “disprove” the existence of Kurds, the Kurdish language, and Kurdistan. While the judges imposed an evidence-based approach to history and denied the existence of Kurds, Kurdish and Kurdistan, the PKK members opposed the official thesis of the state and built their arguments more on the day-to-day realities of life.  The study’s main argument is that the official ideology uses history to prove and convey a message to the rest of society, whereas the defendants used it as a means of protest depending on the historical reality rather than history as a science. This study discusses that by using science to make examples of these members, the judges used history to prove the Kurds’ non-existence, whereas the defendants implied history as a way of protesting the ruling authority.

The 19Th Century

The author of the article puts a question about the limits of the 20th century individualism. He expresses a hypothesis about the cyclic nature of the cultural and political theory. In particular, he draws attention to the rhythm of changes of the hedonistic and ascetic ep- ochs, spiritualist and materialist epochs, individualist and holist epochs. The author ana- lyzes holistic doctrines of the 19th century: philosophies of Fabre d’Olivet, Auguste Comte, Pierre Leroux. Although today almost forgotten, the ideas of these authors can be revived again in the 21st century, he says. Based upon the analysis of the 19th century holism which the author did in his book Liquid ideologies, the author makes a hypothesis that the 21st century is becoming much less individualistic and much less materialistic than the 20th century. The metaphors of the “collective body” and “absolute spirit” are coming back in the 21st century, in the new form of the digital reality.

This chapter examines teacher candidates’ reflections on engagement with and in social media as it relates to their professional preparation and understandings of teaching within 21st- century classrooms. Extending earlier work, we present the notion of a Fifth Estate within the digital age, redefining network influence. As power and influence are negotiated across executive, judicial, and legislative enterprises, media—the Fourth Estate—and networks of influence among individuals within the Fifth Estate present a new form of educational professionalism. Here, educators, researchers, and the community may engage directly in virtual space. This chapter focuses in particular on the ways that candidates’ reflections on the ways in which they seek support from the Fifth Estate are shaped by their visions of teaching and learning, their trust in the teaching professionals who share information in the Fifth Estate, their efficacy to evaluate resources, and their autonomy to select and modify resources.
