“To prove now, that the history of literature is not only the history of writers, but also the history of readers […] means to belabor the obvious,” stated Alexander Beletskii a century ago, but the task of the detailed detecting of the separate groups, or rather to use Boris Tomashevskii’s term, “schools” of readers, is still vital for the historians of modern Russian poetry. The following is the attempt to name the first “enrollees” of the school of reading Osip Mandelshtam’s poetry, two of them sharing his activities in the literary workshop “The Guild of the Poets” in St. Petersburg in the 1910s, and the third being the poet’s wife during 1919–1938.

AbstractThis article focuses on ideological constructions of contemporary nationalism shaped by the influence of Dmitrii Galkovskii. At the dawn of the Russian Internet, Galkovskii’s website, Samizdat, became the birthplace for intellectuals of contemporary Russian nationalism who emerged around Voprosy natsionalizma magazine and the online magazine Sputnik i Pogrom. Enemification strategies described in this article are understood as forms of self-representation of contemporary Russian nationalism. The goal of this article is to characterize one of the ideologies of contemporary Russian nationalism, which serves as a moral justification for some odious manifestations—xenophobia and racism. Three forces are characterized by contemporary Russian nationalists as the most dangerous challenges for the nation: the West, internal enemies, and migrants. Traditional and fundamental anti-Western rhetoric has turned into Anglophobia in the ideology of contemporary Russian nationalism. The most profound evidence might be found in Galkovskii’s conception of the history of international relations. This idea is also used when defining the internal enemy. Caucasians have taken the place of Russian nationalism’s previous main internal enemies, Jews, and are treated as representatives of the British colonial administration. The third enemy of modern Russian nationalism is migrants. They are seen as tools of the degradation policy toward Russians.

The article presents a certain way of modern transformation of the so-called “philological novel” in the modern Russian prose. The author asserts that this genre, which has a profound tradition and generally rests upon quite traditional philological gnoseology and axiology, has changed significantly since, e.g., “Pushkin’s house” by A. Bitov, and the reason for this change is radical transformation of basic concepts of artistic discourse. The status of fine literature and its social functioning, the issue of Author and his/her dialogue with the Reader, the very nature of a word, especially a “foreign” one, have changed. Modern literature does not pretend to be didactical anymore, as it had in a sense been in classical paradigm of the Author/Reader relationship, and it is gradually transforming into an intellectual game with ready-made linguistic and ideological constructs. The purpose of the article is to study the ways modern artistic discourse of Figl’-Migl’s “philological novel” transforms. The research rationale is explained by the absence of scientific works, dedicated to the specific discourse of such novels, in the modern Russian theory and history of literature. The author considers that Figl’-Migl’s prose is distinguished by universal ironization of the total intertextuality, that is common for postmodernism; by principal tendency for the absence of anyone’s “own” word at all, and by the author’s and the protagonist’s reluctance to associate themselves with any distinctly identifiable axiological and ideological system, including the “love for word”. Artistic discourse of Figl’-Migl’s novels may be considered experimental, since the author, by imitating various types of “foreign” discourse, playing with them and bringing together characters, absolutely unimaginable within one and the same dialogue, as discourse carriers, puts them in contexts, unusual for them and for the reader, but virtually modelled by the whole history of the Russian literature, which is present in the novels as a background and a full participant of the dialogue’s events.

scholarly journals SURREALISATION OF SOUND: MUSICALITY, AUDIAL CULTURE AND SOUND IN THE MODERN RUSSIAN POETRY (VADIM BANNIKOV, VASILIY BORODIN, NIKITA SAFONOV)

The article discusses modern poetic practices that actualize the surrealistic code through a sound medium. Vadim Bannikov with the help of spontaneous sampling of material (figurative and verbal) brings sound and auditory constants to surrealistic editing and metamorphosis. His “asemantic poetry” reveals the collaged polyphony of the Sprechgesang, forcing to reconsider the non-musicality of classical surrealism. Vasiliy Borodin’s auditory asemic letter becomes a solution to the poetry task of “moving away from words” formulated by the poet himself, but in a surrealist context; this turns out to be a new stage in objectification of the code. If Vadim Bannikov’s automatism frees the subject, the surrealisation of Vasiliy Borodin frees the very musicality and audial culture (possibly “to the detriment” of poetry). The third alternative way to work with sound is offered by Nikita Safonov’s poetic practice. A general deterritorialisation of sound takes place in it, the sounding is freed through the objectification of sound, freed from the human as well. The sound landscape on equal terms includes silence (zero state of sound), the sounds themselves in their materiality and noise. The noise, understood as an empty sign, actualises the mathematical in sound. In the surrealist code, therefore, mathematics and abstraction become an important condition for further private implementations of surrealistic thought and aesthetics.

This article aims discusses Rolf Fieguth’s studies of works by Norwid, focusing primarily on the German Slavist’s interpretations of the cycle Vade-mecum and the long poem Quidam. The first work reconstructed here, along with its assumptions and conclusions, is Fieguth’s 1985 study on “poetry in a critical phase”and the second is the 2005 essay on the comparative contexts of Norwid’s famous cycle (the latter was published in Polish in 2011). A lot of room is devoted in this section to Fieguth’s analysis of distortions introduced by Norwid at various levels of the poem’s organization. These remarks are complemented with an account of Fieguth’s comparatist conceptof “cultural confrontation,” which goes beyond dualistic accounts of literary creativity, revealing the invariably broad, European context of meetings between poets and texts, facilitated by the process of national cultures permeating each other. The second part of the article is devoted to Fieguth’s 2014 book Zaproszenie do „Quidama”. Portret poematu Cypriana Norwida [An invitation to Quidam. A portrait of Cyprian Norwid’s long poem]. Reflections on this publication concern not only its detailed findings about Norwid’s long poem but also the critic’s methodological assumptions, which have helped him to update the long-standing genre in the history of literature, namely the “author and his particular work” type of monograph. Among the issues addressed in the book, the article discusses, in particular, the difficulties accompanying interpretations of Quidamand the question of Norwid’s classicism. The third part of the article draws attention to Fieguth’s remarks onNorwid made in recent years (2017, 2018, 2020). The article thus summarizes Rolf Fieguth’s thirty years of research on the most important poetic achievements of the Polish poet.

Which kind of relation exists between a stone, a cloud, a dog, and a human? Is nature made of distinct domains and layers or does it form a vast unity from which all beings emerge? Refusing at once a reductionist, physicalist approach as well as a vitalistic one, Whitehead affirms that « everything is a society » This chapter consequently questions the status of different domains which together compose nature by employing the concept of society. The first part traces the history of this notion notably with reference to the two thinkers fundamental to Whitehead: Leibniz and Locke; the second part defines the temporal and spatial relations of societies; and the third explores the differences between physical, biological, and psychical forms of existence as well as their respective ways of relating to environments. The chapter thus tackles the status of nature and its domains.

Euston Films was the first film subsidiary of a British television company that sought to film entirely on location. To understand how the ‘televisual imagination’ changed and developed in relationship to the parent institution's (Thames Television) economic and strategic needs after the transatlantic success of its predecessor, ABC Television, it is necessary to consider how the use of film in television drama was regarded by those working at Euston Films. The sources of realism and development of generic verisimilitude found in the British adventure series of the early 1970s were not confined to television, and these very diverse sources both outside and inside television are well worth exploring. Thames Television, which was formed in 1968, did not adopt the slickly produced adventure series style of ABC's The Avengers, for example. Instead, Thames emphasised its other ABC inheritance – naturalistic drama in the form of the studio-based Armchair Theatre – and was to give the adventure series a strong London lowlife flavour. Its film subsidiary, Euston Films, would produce ‘gritty’ programmes such as the third and fourth series of Special Branch. Amid the continuities and tensions between ABC and Thames, it is possible to discern how economic and technological changes were used as a cultural discourse of value that marks the production of Special Branch as a key transformative moment in the history of British television.

The paper explores the displace of Polish archives from the Soviet Union that was performed in 1920s according to the Riga Peace Treaty of 1921 and other international agreements. The aim of the research is to reconstruct the process of displace, based on the archival sources and literature. The object of the research is those documents that were preserved in the archives of Belarus and together with archives from other republics were displaced to Poland. The exploration leads to clarification of the selection of document fonds to be displaced, the actual process of movement and the explanation of the role that the archivists of Belarus performed in the history of cultural relationships between Poland and the Soviet Union. The articles of the Treaty of Riga had been formulated without taking into account the indivisibility of archive fonds that is one of the most important principles of restitution, which caused the failure of the treaty by the Soviet part.

"A Short Modern History of Studying Sacrobosco’s De sphaera. The treatise generally known as De sphaera offered at the beginning of the 13th century a general image of the structure of the cosmos. In this paper I’m first trying to present a triple stake with which this treaty of Johannes de Sacrobosco (c. 1195 - c. 1256). This effort is intended to draw a context upon the treaty on which I will present in the second part of this paper namely, a short modern history of studying this treaty starting from the beginning of the 20th century up to this day. The first stake consists in the well-known episode of translation of the XI-XII centuries in the Latin milieu of the Greek and Arabic treaties. The treatise De sphaera taking over, assimilating and comparing some of the new translations of the texts dedicated to astronomy. The second Consists in the fact that Sacrobosco`s work can be considered a response to a need of renewal of the curriculum dedicated to astronomy at the University of Paris. And the third consists in the novelty and the need to use the De sphaera treatise in the Parisian University’s curriculum of the 13th century. Keywords: astronomy, translation, university, 13th Century, Sacrobosco, Paris, curriculum"
