Eschatological Imagination

Between necrophilia and epiphany: Thanatological fascinations of Ladislav KlímaThanatological themes often appear in Ladislav Klíma’s prose as a characteristic keystone of his anthropological project. In some of the writer’s novel and short stories e.g. Utrpení knížete Sternenhocha, Jak bude po smrti, Slavná Nemesis the topic of death introduces large-scale philosophical or metaphysical speculations. It also functions as a way depicting death which is confirmed in the cultural tradition. In both cases Klíma plays a perverse and complicated game with the typical components of the European eschatological imagination. On the one hand, he shows those components in a grotesque manner, which means treating the human mortality without appriopriate respect and dignity, on the other hand he incorporates thanatological topics into his controversial project of a new cosmogony and deification of man.  Mezi nekrohilií a odhaleným tajemstvím. Mortuální hledání Ladislava KlímyMortuální tematika v tvorbě Ladislava Klímy tvoří specifický klíč k jeho antropologickému projektu. V některých Klímových románech a povídkách například Utrpení knížete Sternenhocha, Jak bude po smrti, Slavná Nemesis téma smrti otevírá cestu k široce pojatým filozofickým nebo metafyzickým úvahám a aktivizuje kódy mortuálních obrazů utkvělých v představách tradiční kultury. V obou případech Klíma vede složitou a určitým způsobem přelomovou hru s komponenty tanatického imaginaria umístěného ve všeobecných, skupinových evropských představách. Těmto komponentům propůjčuje groteskní rozměr, čímž zpochybňuje povinnost zobrazování eschatologických motivů s úctou či respektem a začleňuje je do svého — komplikovaného a kontroverzního — projektu nové kosmogonie a koncepce lidské deifikace.

The colonial process constituted a twofold catastrophe. On the one hand, the genocide and enslavement of racialized bodies, along with the large-scale destruction of their lands was a material, or physical, catastrophe. On the other hand, colonialism led to a reconfiguring of intersubjectivities which constituted a “metaphysical catastrophe” according Puerto Rican philosopher Nelson Maldonado-Torres. This metaphysical catastrophe relegates the racialized subject beneath the zones of being and non-being leading to dehumanization and permanent war. This text intends to illuminate ways in which analectical marronage, as an existential state of Being, resists this twofold catastrophe brought about by the imperial enterprise.

History And Theory

In my work, i examine the collection of short stories titled Beteg lelkek by Dezső Kosztolányi, published in 1912; searching for proof for my theory, in which i propose that Beteg lelkek is the result of Kosztolányi’s conscious and thorough composition of the book. Based on the results of the literature fundamentally connected to the topic, on the one hand the importance of colours as symbols will be revised in some short stories, on the other hand, the seven short stories of the collection will be examined focusing on the topic of sickness regarding as the central theme. During my work, besides examining the history and theory of literature, i also use some writings of cultural history and psychology, connected to the matter; this method is requested by the title as well as by the topic of the short stories that give the substance of the collection. In some chapters, i also mention the results of the philology researches in connection to the oeuvre of Kosztolányi, and i try to focus on the challenges raised by the examination and complexity of the sources in connection with Kosztolányi.

Movement Structure

The large-scale romantic concerto has been reevaluated by many composers of the 20th century. These have included Stravinsky, Honegger and Frank Martin, who have all tended to compose on a much smaller scale. One such work is Ivo Petrić's Trois images, a violin concerto dating from 1972-73. It displays an ambiguous approach to form, the relationships between the soloist and orchestra, the use of musical motives and the idea of the concerto. On the one hand, it has links with tradition in that it uses the title and three-movement structure of the concerto, the traditional relationships of dialogue, solo and accompaniment, development of motives and virtuoso techniques. On the other hand, it breaks with tradition by disguising the contrasts and separation of the individual movements, and transforming traditional concerto techniques for use in the freely coordinated idiom that the composer was using at the time. It proves to be an excellent example of how concerto techniques can be combined with the techniques of the avant-garde.

Abstract Toleration is a person’s response, on the one hand, to something she disapproves of, and on the other hand, to her inclination to put a stop to that which she disapproves of. When people think about toleration from a pedagogical perspective, as a virtue to be cultivated, attention naturally focuses on the latter: how do we teach someone to control herself, to take the other’s perspective, et cetera; and how do we make sure someone develops ‘tolerant’ views? Discussions about this virtually always concern the same topics, however; critical reflection on the objects of (in)tolerance are lacking. When we turn our gaze outwards, we see that intolerable practices take place on a large scale (e.g. ecologically destructive practices) that we all ‘tolerate’ – because we don’t care enough. We ought to teach children to care about the right things to the right degree; and that means we need to teach them not to tolerate certain practices.

The concept of literary style is joined, on the one hand, with grammatical and prosodic constraints and, on the other hand, with the large-scale dramatic construction of character and action: mimesis. The latter, however, depends on the former. Whereas, dramatic mimesis is an ‘imitation’ or modelling from without, literary style radiates from within the mimetic and lets it appear. We may therefore think of a succession of mimetic styles in Shakespeare’s career which are different modes of bringing character and action to appearance: elevated, articulated, reticulated, saturated, and evacuated.

The Way

In the four short stories published in the volume Dwaalstories, Eugène Marais achieves a very charming combination of fantasy and ideological coding. The fantasy seems, on the one hand, to camouflage the possible effects of certain ideological stances in the stories and also to predispose a naïve reading, while the more submerged ideological coding, on the other hand, invites closer inspection, which will uncover the real clout of the message. Traditionally, fables recount the victory of the weak over the powerful due to the intervention of some magical outside force. In these African fables this convention is employed to demonstrate the successful undermining of the despotic use of power which causes the innocent to suffer. Assisted by forces of magic residing in Nature, the weak react against injustice, so rectifying the social imbalances and counteracting the dangers caused by the inhumane use of group or institutional force. The purpose of this article is to describe the way in which fantasy and ideology are intercoded in Marais’s Dwaalstories.

O artigo apresenta uma reflexão acerca da produção de imagens em um contexto pós-digital, abordando a influência das tecnologias digitais em práticas artísticas artesanais. Por um lado, as produções em arte desde a modernidade têm evidenciado sobreposição de procedimentos e técnicas, apropriações, ampliação das linguagens e hibridismos. Por outro lado, a popularização das tecnologias digitais e a incorporação dessas em larga escala faz com que a presença das mesmas em etapas nos processos artísticos aconteça de forma naturalizada, mesmo naqueles que não têm as tecnologias como questão central de investigação. Conclui-se que as mudanças ocorridas por meio da naturalização das tecnologias digitais em nosso cotidiano e a forma como estas estão nos afetando atualmente, oferecem um novo olhar às estratégias utilizadas pelos artistas e colocam ainda novos problemas a eles.Abstract The article presents a reflection about the production of images in a post-digital context, addressing the influence of digital technologies on artisanal artistic practices. On the one hand, the productions in art since the modernity have evidenced overlapping of procedures and techniques, appropriations, amplification of languages and hybridity. On the other hand, the popularization of digital technologies and the incorporation of these on a large scale makes their presence in stages in the artistic processes happen in a naturalized way, even in those which do not hold the technologies as a central research question. We conclude that the changes that have taken place through the naturalization of digital technologies in our daily lives, and the way they are currently affecting us, offer a new look at the strategies used by artists and pose new problems for them.

As If

This article aims to reflect the potential connections between Cyprian Norwid, his literature and thoughts on Europe with the elements of the forthcoming concepts of Central Europeanism. On the one hand, the author of Vade-mecum can deliver a sensitized view of Central European multinationalism, especially in his Venetian short stories like Menego or Lord Singelworth’s Secret and meanwhile (in his political journalism, for example, Recit d’une peintre d’histoire) acts as if he was capable of efficiently understanding the first general XIX-century idea of Mitteleuropa. On the other hand, Norwid could react to the issues of Central Europeanism ambiguously and flamboyantly – among others by expressing the opinions about still primal and incestuous patriotism of Southern Slavs.

Insight Into

Archetypes are understood as ‘great symbols’ deriving from ancient times and arising from the collective unconsciousness. Through my studies, I realize that, in contemporary Vietnamese short stories, dreams can be considered as an archetype. Dreams are coded in conceptual metaphors, in allegorical expressions, and they appear everywhere in the works of many contemporary authors. On the one hand, this trend is the continuation of a traditional source of inspiration in folk and medieval literature; on the other hand, it is characterized by modern senses. Authors experimentally introduce a philosophy in dreams, and expand their creative range through dreams. This study provides a new insight into contemporary Vietnamese short stories under the archetypal lens.

The article analyses essays and stories included into N.A. Teffi’s “Istanbul and the Sun” book. The authors contend that interpretation of reality as an illusion or dream while staying awake is a notable characteristic of N.A. Teffi’s Istanbul prose. The authors conclude that one of the key themes of Teffi’s work - the perception of life as a dream - obtains in Istanbul sketches the dual status of a sociocultural verdict and a peculiar prescription for survival (concurrently aesthetical and psychological). On the one hand, dream seemingly deprives one’s consciousness of the course of time, i.e. the established order of days, months, and years. The writer views destitute life of Russian emigres in Istanbul as a social numbness or mirage which, however, may fade away some day. On the other hand, dream is a transition into the world of imagination, the sphere of fairy tale where historic upheavals have no significance, and which is granted the status of true reality in Teffi’s system of values.
