Animal World

The aim of the article is to show the relationship between the homo and animal spheres. The research material consists of Polish and Russian phraseological units in a broad sense (idioms, comparisons and proverbs) with zoonyms being the names of farm animals. The main emphasis was placed on the inherent – in faunal phraseology – and the closely related features of anthropocentrism and didacticism. Tracing the relationship between humans and animals clearly indicates the pejorativization of the linguistic image of fauna by a man. People like to use animal portraits to speak of the dark sides of their own world. Ascribing disabilities to representatives of fauna at the same time exposes the value of everything that is human. Parallel however, there is a phenomenon of hyperbolization of the negative portrait of a man who tries to subjugate living creatures from outside his species, guided by heartlessness, greed and selfishness. The lack of morality or culture cannot be considered animal traits, since higher feelings are characteristic of homo sapiens and constitute the foundation that distinguishes humans from the fauna world. Animals only fight for food, domination, and take care of the young. Their behavior is not due to ill will, lack of morals or culture. In the behavior of animals, their nature prevails and their innate instincts ensure their survival. Animals are not uncultivated and immoral, it is only a man who thinks of them in this way, involuntarily projecting his own world onto the animal world. There is a human interpretation of the world in animalistic phraseological units.

In a spirited treatise on the ‘Origin of our Animal World’ Prof. L. Rütimeyer, in the year 1867, described the geological development and distribution of the mammalia, and the relationship of the different faunas of the past with each other and with that now existing. Although, since the appearance of that masterly sketch the palæontological material has been, at least, doubled through new discoveries in Europe and more especially in North and South America, this unexpected increase has in most instances only served as a confirmation of the views which Rutimeyer advanced on more limited experience. At present, Africa forms the only great gap in our knowledge of the fossil mammalia; all the remaining parts of the world can show materials more or less abundantly, from which the course followed by the mammalia in their geological development can be traced with approximate certainty.

Anthropocene on the National Stage: Maaseudun tulevaisuus (“Future of the Countryside”, The Finnish National Theatre 2014) and the Interregnum We Live in The article argues that entering the Anthropocene has pushed us into a cultural interregnum. However, the discussions of the Anthropocene and the concept of interregnum seldom meet. In this article it is assumed that this stems from the fact that the concept of interregnum pertains to the 20th century critical epistème and as such, it is a mismatch with the current theoretical impulse of turning toward affects, ontology and becoming. However, the case is made that we should not let go of the critical legacy altogether: to analyse struggle over and between epistemologies, we need critical concepts. Research material in the article consists of the manuscript of Leea Klemola’s 2014 Finnish National theatre production “The Future of the Countryside”, and nine articles from the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat’s digital archive, published during the play’s opening week. “The Future of the Countryside” asks what could the relationship between humans and their companion species be like, were it not based on the idea that it is legitimate for humans to treat the rest of the world as resources. However, the media brouhaha surrounding the play’s opening night hardly touches upon this theme at all. Instead, the nation and the limits of national culture are repeatedly evoked as the primary explanatory framework. In this way, the “Future of the Countryside” provides an illustrative case of the interregnum we live in, understood as old epistemologies losing ground but still keeping the new from emerging.

IN our communication to the Royal Society of Victoria of the 11th March, 1909 (1), describing our recent discovery of forty-two Tasmanian crania hitherto quite unknown to the world of science, we stated that “one of the earliest purposes to which it is proposed to utilise the present material is the determination of the relationship of the Tasmanian to the anthropoids and primitive man on the one hand, and to the Australian aboriginal on the other hand. Schwalbe's study of Pithecanthropus erectus (2) may serve as a basis for the former purpose, and Klaatsch's recent work (3) for the latter, though it must be remembered that innumerable authors have contributed to both subjects.” The present work is the fulfilment of the first part of this undertaking, namely, the determination of the relationship of the Tasmanian to the anthropoids and primitive man.

Исследование русских и китайских культур полезно для выявления интернационального и национального. В статье дан сопоставительный анализ китайских и русских примет, содержащих номинацию собака, с позиций лингвокультурологии. Реконструкция паремиологической картины мира помогает понять соотнесенность зоонимической лексики с менталитетом народов двух стран и оценить особенности их мировосприятия. В качестве материала исследования послужила авторская картотека, состоящая из 44 русских и 23 китайских примет, извлеченных из лексикографических источников методом сплошной выборки. Анималистический образ, легший в основу паремий, дал возможность классифицировать приметы с точки зрения доминантной составляющей действия номинации собака как в антропоцентрической, так и в фенологической направленности, выявлено численное превосходство паремий представленных групп. Рассмотрены возможности образования семантического поля «собака» в русской и китайской языковой системе. Дается описание паремий с точки зрения религиозных убеждений, климатических особенностей; приведена оценка единиц, схожих в плане содержания, но различных в плане выражения. Показано, как русские и китайские обычаи находят отражение в приметах как культурно заряженных текстах. Практическая значимость данного исследования заключается в том, что наблюдения и выводы могут быть полезны для расширения знаний о взаимосвязи зоонимической лексики, используемой в составе паремий, с духовным миром и культурой людей разных национальностей. It is important to study the Russian and Chinese cultures in order to identify the international and national about them. The article provides a comparative analysis of Chinese and Russian signs containing the dog nomination from the standpoint of linguoculturology. Reconstruction of the paremiological picture of the world helps to understand the correlation of zoonymic vocabulary with the mentality of the people of the two countries and assess the features of their perception of the world. The author’s card index, consisting of 44 Russian and 23 Chinese signs, extracted from lexicographic sources using a continuous sample, was used as the research material. The animalistic image that formed the basis for proverbs, gave the opportunity to classify the signs in term of the dominant orientation of the action of the dog nomination in both anthropocentric and phenological patterns, the numerical superiority of the paroemias of the groups represented was revealed. The article considers the possibilities of forming the semantic field «dog» in the Russian and Chinese language systems. The description of paroemias is given from the point of view of religious beliefs, climatic features, and the assessment of units that are similar in terms of content, but different in terms of expression. It is shown how Russian and Chinese customs reflect in signs as culturally charged texts. The practical significance of this study is that its observations and conclusions can be useful for expanding knowledge about the relationship of zoonymic vocabulary used in the composition of paroemias with the spiritual world and culture of people of different nationalities.

The paradox of the existence of the species Homo sapiens is that we do not even know: Who are we? Why are we? Where did you go from? Why? At all times - from antiquity to our time - the philosophers touched on this topic. It takes an important place in all religions of the world. These eternal questions include gender issues. In the religious systems of the religions of the Abrahamic tradition there is no single answer to the question of which sex was the first person. Recently, British scientists have even tried to prove that Eve is 84 thousand years older Adam

Virginia Woolf and Being-in-the-world: A Heideggerian Study explores Woolf’s treatment of the relationship between self and world from a phenomenological-existential perspective. This study presents a timely and compelling interpretation of Virginia Woolf’s textual treatment of the relationship between self and world from the perspective of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Drawing on Woolf’s novels, essays, reviews, letters, diary entries, short stories, and memoirs, the book explores the political and the ontological, as the individual’s connection to the world comes to be defined by an involvement and engagement that is always already situated within a particular physical, societal, and historical context. Emma Simone argues that at the heart of what it means to be an individual making his or her way in the world, the perspectives of Woolf and Heidegger are founded upon certain shared concerns, including the sustained critique of Cartesian dualism, particularly the resultant binary oppositions of subject and object, and self and Other; the understanding that the individual is a temporal being; an emphasis upon intersubjective relations insofar as Being-in-the-world is defined by Being-with-Others; and a consistent emphasis upon average everydayness as both determinative and representative of the individual’s relationship to and with the world.
