Love’s personification has modeled the conception of love poetry since Antiquity. This article focuses on a little-known aspect of this personified figure. It will show that the process of poetic creation focused on the lyrical self is based on a profound relationship of the self with Love in its role as the inspiration of passion and writing. It will be observed how this idea begins with Greek poetics and how it was developed in three literary moments: the Latin elegy, Medieval lyric and Petrarchan poetry.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.

The book’s epilogue explores the place of musical portraiture in the context of posthumous depictions of the deceased, and in relation to the so-called posthuman condition, which describes contemporary changes in the relationship of the individual with such aspects of life as technology and the body. It first examines Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo to view how Bernard Herrmann’s score relates to issues of portraiture and the depiction of the identity of the deceased. It then considers the work of cyborg composer-artist Neil Harbisson, who has aimed, through the use of new capabilities of hybridity between the body and technology, to convey something akin to visual likeness in his series of Sound Portraits. The epilogue shows how an examination of contemporary views of posthumous and posthuman identities helps to illuminate the ways music represents the self throughout the genre of musical portraiture.

Актуальность статьи обусловлена проблемой изучения феномена саморегуляции совместной деятельности группового субъекта на основе эмпирически выявленной взаимосвязи ориентировки и саморегуляции деятельности группового субъекта, предпринята попытка соотнести способность группового субъекта к саморегуляции с социально-психологической зрелостью группы, в частности с таким ее свойством, как организованность. В качестве методологической основы исследования ориентировочной части совместной деятельности группы как социально-психологической основы ее саморегуляции рассматривается субъектный подход, дополненный динамическим подходом, который открывает возможности получения достоверных данных о саморегуляции различных сторон жизнедеятельности группы в различных социальных условиях. Авторами проводится анализ результатов исследования того, как высокоорганизованная группа вырабатывает план совместной деятельности при выполнении задания на приборе «Арка». В результате проведенного исследования выявлено, что на этапе ориентировки группа применительно к условиям изменения производит новое планирование о совместной деятельности или лидер вносит коррективы в созданный ранее план, где учитываются изменения согласно новым условиям. В процессе сборки группа с высоким ориентировочным результатом действует согласно созданному плану. Они тщательнее планируют. Уделяют время на мелочи. Это подтверждает связь с работой контура саморегуляции произвольной деятельности, то есть у участников не только идет планирование, но и закладывается программа исполнительских действий. Выявлено, что дополнение субъектного подхода предложенным нами динамическим подходом открывает возможности получения достоверных данных о саморегуляции различных сторон жизнедеятельности группы в различных социальных условиях. Статья предназначена для руководителей образовательных организаций, работников научных организаций, исследователей, аспирантов и педагогов-психологов. The relevance of the article is due to the problem of studying the phenomenon of self-regulation of joint activity of a group subject, on the basis of the empirically revealed relationship of orientation and self-regulation of the activity of a group subject, an attempt is made to correlate the ability of a group subject to self-regulation with the socio-psychological maturity of a group, in particular, with such its property as organization. As a methodological basis for the study of the tentative part of the group's joint activity as a socio-psychological basis for its self-regulation, the subject approach is considered, supplemented by a dynamic approach, which opens up the possibility of obtaining reliable data on the self-regulation of various aspects of the group's life in various social conditions. The authors analyze the results of a study of how a highly organized group develops a plan for joint activities when performing a task on the "Arka" device. As a result of the study, it was revealed that at the orientation stage, the group, in relation to the change conditions, makes a new planning on joint activities or the leader makes adjustments to the previously created plan, changes are taken into account according to the new conditions. During the assembly process, the group with a high estimated result acts according to the created plan. They plan more carefully. Make time for the little things. This confirms the connection with the work of the self-regulation circuit of voluntary activity, that is, private traders not only have planning, but also a program of performing actions is laid. It was revealed that the addition of the subjective approach with the proposed by us dynamic approach opens up the possibility of obtaining reliable data on the self-regulation of various aspects of the group's life in various social conditions. The article is intended for heads of educational organizations, employees of scientific organizations, researchers, graduate students and educational psychologists.

Abstract Schizophrenia (SCZ) can be characterized as a basic self-disorder that is featured by abnormal temporal integration on phenomenological (experience) and psychological (information processing) levels. Temporal integration on the neuronal level can be measured by the brain’s intrinsic neural timescale using the autocorrelation window (ACW) and power-law exponent (PLE). Our goal was to relate intrinsic neural timescales (ACW, PLE), as a proxy of temporal integration on the neuronal level, to temporal integration related to self-disorder on psychological (Enfacement illusion task in electroencephalography) and phenomenological (Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience [EASE]) levels. SCZ participants exhibited prolonged ACW and higher PLE during the self-referential task (Enfacement illusion), but not during the non-self-referential task (auditory oddball). The degree of ACW/PLE change during task relative to rest was significantly reduced in self-referential task in SCZ. A moderation model showed that low and high ACW/PLE exerted differential impact on the relationship of self-disorder (EASE) and negative symptoms (PANSS). In sum, we demonstrate abnormal prolongation in intrinsic neural timescale during self-reference in SCZ including its relation to basic self-disorder and negative symptoms. Our results point to abnormal relation of self and temporal integration at the core of SCZ constituting a “common currency” of neuronal, psychological, and phenomenological levels.

Mikhail Bakhtin's work on Dostoevsky is well known. Less familiar, perhaps, is Bakhtin's attitude toward the other great Russian nineteenth-century novelist, Leo Tolstoy. This essay explores that “Tolstoy connection,” both as a means for interrogating Bakhtin's analytic categories and as a focus for evaluating the larger tradition of “Tolstoy versus Dostoevsky.” Bakhtin is not a particularly good reader of Tolstoy. But he does make provocative use of the familiar binary model to pursue his most insistent concerns: monologism versus dialogism, the relationship of authors to their characters, the role of death in literature and life, and the concept of the self. Bakhtin's comments on these two novelists serve as a good starting point for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the Bakhtinian model in general and suggest ways one might recast the dialogue between Tolstoy and Dostoevsky on somewhat different, more productive ground.

This article explores the relationship of desire and distance in Kaija Saariaho's Lonh (1996) for soprano and electronics. The subject matter of Lonh is desire and romantic pleasures, anchored to feminine subjectivity, represented on stage by a soprano singer. Electronics provide the environmental sounds and amplify the singer's voice. Through Lonh looms a medieval song in the Occitan language, ‘Lanquan li jorn son lonc en mai’ by Jaufré Rudel, a famous troubadour in twelfth-century Provence. Saariaho reverses the narrative convention of love stories by presenting the most intimate encounter at the very beginning. In their succeeding encounters, the lovers move further away from each other. Similarly, in the course of Lonh the distance to Jaufré's song also increases. Luce Irigaray's concepts of love are used for an analysis of the relationship of the loving pair. By the end of Lonh the borderlines of speaking, singing, electronics, language and music collapse in Barthesian jouissance (bliss). The electronic technology in Lonh enables the re-investiture of cultural values, and the construction of flexible identities, crossing boundaries between the self and the other.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health problem characterized by persistent obsessions and compulsions. This article provides insights into experiences of OCD through a qualitative, thematic analysis performed on a set of interviews with people with OCD. Four themes were found as central in the participants’ descriptions of OCD episodes: (a) space, (b) the body, (c) objects, and (d) interactions. The findings also show that episodes of OCD can be grouped into three broad categories: (a) activity episodes, which revolve around everyday tasks; (b) state episodes, which are concerned with the self and identity; and (c) object episodes, which are concerned with the effects of objects on the self. The relationship of this three-way classification of OCD episodes to existing cognitive models of OCD is discussed. The study also demonstrates the value of categorizing episodes, rather than people, into subtypes of OCD so that intra-participant variation can be highlighted.


Petrarch was Italy's second most famous writer (after Dante), and indeed from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries he was much better known and more influential in English literature than Dante. His Italian love lyrics constituted the major influence on European love poetry for at least two centuries from 1400 to 1600, and in Britain he was imitated by Chaucer, the Elizabethans, and other lyric poets up until the end of the eighteenth century. With Romanticism Dante ousted Petrarch from his pre-eminent position, but in our post-Romantic age, attention has now started to swing back to Petrarch. This volume is a survey of Petrarch's literary legacy in Britain. Starting with his own views of those whom he called the ‘barbari Britanni’, the volume then explores a number of key topics: Petrarch's analysis of the self; his dialogue with other classical and Italian authors; Petrarchism and anti-Petrarchism in Renaissance Italy; Petrarchism in England and Scotland; and Petrarch's modern legacy in both Italy and Britain. Many important texts and poets are considered, including Giordano Bruno, Leopardi, Foscolo, Ascham, Sidney, Spenser, and Walter Savage Landor.
