Aim. The article analyses the means of using a new method of storytelling with elements of the poetics of behaviourism, which deeply showed the consequences and impact of the First World War on the lives of civilians in the sphere of hostilities. The heroes of the novel are little children who were running away from the soldiers and found themselves in the dark woods near a fatally wounded mother. The hero of the novel Vasilko, a boy of six or eight years, must fulfil the prayer of a dying mother and save his sister Nastya, who is very young and cannot even speak. The novelty of the author of the novel does not describe Vasylko’s inner emotions, but using the poetics of behaviourism, shows only the actions of the boy and his behaviour in these circumstances. The novel is devoid of emotional expressions, conveys the boy’s behaviour, his actions caused by external pathogens. The author with great force conveys his attitude to the war and its inhumane nature.

Women exerted a considerable influence on Maurice, even though admirable female characters are absent from the narrative. Before the First World War, a sexually conservative reform movement called Social Purity was bringing male sexuality under particular scrutiny, making this a difficult time for Forster to be claiming that homosexuality was not morally wrong. Interpreted against this background, Maurice can be read not as a rebellion against attenuated Victorian attitudes or against women but as a challenge to the contemporary social purity movement. In this context – the difficulty of talking about homosexuality, of which the novel explores the effects – the willingness of Forster’s friend and confidante, Florence Barger, to discuss homosexuality also needs to be seen as significant. She contributed to Forster’s ability to represent homosexuality as a valid alternative to bourgeois masculinity that equated heterosexuality with morality, health and economic success.

"This article is about an unknown author of the French avant-garde, Irène Hillel-Erlanger, and her main work, Voyages en kaléidoscope, an unusual poetic novel, published in 1919, belonging to the genre of the “Scientific-marvellous”, the proto-science-fiction developed in France between 1900 and 1930. As a result of the hybridisation of the languages of symbolism and avant-garde experimentalism, the novel shows the tensions between these two movements, which will be studied through the analysis of thematic and formal aspects, such as allegory, hermeticism, fragmentarism, or visuality, as well as textual and discursive plurality. Finally, we will address the poetics of the gaze underlying the utopian invention of the kaleidoscope, in the context of the end of the First World War. "

This paper considers how Frances Itani’s Deafening imaginatively rethinks our understanding of the Great War in the age of postmemory. Seeing as the novel is set in Canada and Europe during the First World War and takes as its protagonist a deaf woman, the poetic attention given to the senses as a horizon of phenomenological experience magnifies the moral bonds that the characters establish in defi ance of both deafness and death. Guided by the theoretical reasoning of Marianne Hirsch, Elaine Scarry, and Alison Landsberg as well as contemporary phenomenological thinking, most significantly that of Edward S. Casey, Steven Connor, Michel Serres, and Jean-Luc Nancy, this paper examines how the novel’s attentiveness to the materiality of the body in regard to the ethical collisions of sound and silence as well as life and death contributes to a poetics of resonance that generates prosthetic memories, turning the anonymous record of war into a private experience of moral endurance inscribed on the ear of historical legacy.

Julio Jurenito – a 1924 Modernist novel by Ilya Ehrenburg, written hot on the heels of the 1917 Revolution and is distinguished by both a wide intertextual spectrum and an acute satirical orientation in relation to all ideological trends and factions. The article focuses on references of the novel by Ilya Ehrenburg to the legacy of Dostoevsky – primarily – The Brothers Karamazov. Ilya Ehrenburg resets Dostoevsky’s features – his protagonists and some elements of plot – into the reality of European history of the First World War, Russian Revolution and Civil War. But also, Ehrenburg goes beyond Dostoevsky’s semantic continuum, replacing the author’s sense of History as a process striving for its endpoint with a History in which an end is fundamentally impossible, and there is always at least the potential to put the flow of event on pause and rewrite their mistakes. As well, the idea important for Dostoevsky that of the moral damage of the modern atheist-minded person is transformed into a demonstration of the people’s inclination to create idols and devoutly worship the latter. Ilya Ehrenburg’s novel is grounded on an interpretation of Dostoevsky, perfected through the prism of the traditions of the Jewish Enlightenment.

This chapter looks at the model of Orthodox female education developed in Kraków, where the teachers' seminary was adopted as the highest learning institution for young Orthodox women. It discusses the rebellion of the daughters in Habsburg Galicia that continued until World War I as many young daughters, even young men, from Orthodox Jewish homes abandon the ways of their parents. It also points out how the phenomenon of Galician young Jewish females running away and seeking refuge in the Felician Sisters' convent eventually stopped. The chapter explores how the First World War changed the map of the Habsburg Empire and made Galicia in 1918 part of the newly created Second Polish Republic. It elaborates how the laws in the Second Polish Republic eliminated the legal conditions that facilitated the runaway phenomenon.

The article focuses on Bereft (2010), a novel by Australian writer Chris Womersley, which applies the framework of trauma to depict the (failed) reintegration of the returning soldiers after the First World War. Using Gothic and Apocalyptic tropes, Womersley addresses the question of the aftermath of violence in the lives of an Australian family and the Australian nation. By combining the insights of trauma and Gothic studies, the article demonstrates how Bereft undermines the meta-narrative of Australian participation in the First World War, questioning the myth of Anzac and national cohesion. It proposes to read the novel as an example of critical mourning, which, rather than cure from trauma, suggests a re-examination of the dramatic sequels of the imperial conflict. Rage seems to offer here an intriguing alternative to the forgetful practices of commemoration. By revising the militarized national mythology, Bereft redefines the First World War in terms of loss, trauma and desolation, and negotiates a place for broken bodies and minds in Australian cultural memory.

Resumo: O artigo analisa o romance Agora é que são elas, de Paulo Leminski, tendo como ponto de partida a ideia do próprio autor de que seria impossível escrever um romance nos moldes tradicionais em pleno século XX. Para Leminski, os grandes romancistas do século passado, como Joyce e Kafka, nasceram no século XIX e se formaram antes da Primeira Guerra Mundial, por isso sua produção estaria de acordo com os princípios criativos oitocentistas. Assim, o artigo investiga o Agora é que são elas, enquadrando-o tanto na “Teoria do túnel”, de Julio Cortazar, que diz que alguns escritores destroem as formas literárias tradicionais para construir a própria linguagem, quanto nas reflexões sobre a “Linguagem Invertebrada”, de Reinaldo Laddaga, que usa a imagem dos ossos como metáfora da rigidez criativa.Palavras-chave: Paulo Leminski; Agora é que são elas; Teoria do Túnel; Linguagem Invertebrada.Abstract: The paper analyzes the novel Agora é que são elas, by Paulo Leminski, taking as its starting point the idea that the author would be impossible to write a novel in the traditional ways in the twentieth century. To Leminski, the great novelists of the last century, as Joyce and Kafka, born in the nineteenth century and were formed before the First World War, so their production would agree with the nineteenth-century creative principles. Thus, the paper investigates the Agora é que são elas, framing it in both the “Tunnel Theory” by Julio Cortazar, who says that some writers destroy traditional literary forms to build its own language, as the reflections on the “Invertebrate Language”, by Reinaldo Laddaga, which uses the image of the bones as a metaphor for creative stiffness.Keywords: Paulo Leminski; Agora é que são elas; Tunnel Theory; Invertebrate Language.

In her 1998 novel Another World, Pat Barker draws from a topic on which she has written previously with great success—the First World War and the experiences of its combatants—and yet approaches that topic from a completely different perspective. The novel returns to the Great War to consider notions of ‘shell shock’, attitudes towards WWI veterans, and the problems surrounding remembering past violence, but what is perhaps surprising about Another World is that it uses a Victorian storyline to address these concerns, and presents the First World War through the means of references to nineteenth-century culture.

TIME IS TO BLAME! ETHICS AND NOSTALGIA IN JOSEPH ROTH’S THE RADETZKY MARCH | Nostalgia is a key concept in the work of Joseph Roth. Referring to John J. Su, this article asks whether we can speak of an ethics of nostalgia in his 1932 novel The Radetzky March. In this novel Roth draws up a nostalgic portrait of the Habsburg Empire which collapsed during the First World War. The aesthetic interpretation of the Habsburg Empire that The Radetzky March is, has ethical implications insofar as it draws up a vision of a just society in which one can live a good life. Roth’s appraisal of the Habsburg Empire can be seen as a counter-image that displays what he hated most about the inter-war period, namely political nationalism. The paper argues that the nostalgia of the novel supports a critique of contemporary society that is also a conservative critique of nationalism. The nostalgic portrait of the Habsburg Empire points to a vision of how to live a good life, which leads the article to conclude that we can in fact speak of an ethics of nostalgia in The Radetzky March.
