The novel «Good night» was published in Paris in 1984.The author of the novel is a writer-immigrant A. D. Sinyavsky who took a pseudonym Abram Terz. The key conflict of the novel is the fight for interpretation. The opponents of the protagonist aiways insist on unambiguous answers but he himself prefers polysemy. The refusal from simplicity is viewed in many aspects of the novel «Good night»: (good wish but the connotation of fear, horror); intertexual character of the titles in the chapters («Shifters» – the title of the article in which the activity of A. D. Sinyavsky was judged; «Dangerous ties» – the novel by Sh. De Laklo; «In the belly of the whale» – the story of prophet Jonan); stylistic discord (from taboo language to archaic); characters (many names of the wife in one of the abstracts, reincarnation of a father in a different person, edge erasure between fantasy and reality (a confession of a father about a device in his brains); avoiding of linear plot development; three independent having their own titles parts («Mirror», «Glasses», «Treatise about mice and about our incomprehensible fear of mice»). The most important tool in the fight for breaking unambiguous understanding of a reality in the novel is metanarrative. The crossing of «Literature» and «Reality» is seen in the initial plot situation-condemnation of a hero for publishing his works abroad. Real events in the novel are compared with these or those aspects of literature. The character himself can be less important than his name, the number of letters. One of the main motifs of the novel is the motif man-word. In «Good night» there are fragments which do not have any connections to plot division but they are devoted to the ideas of writing a book. The narrator takes a leading role in maintaining a sense polysemy.

This paper examines the leading role played by the American mechanical performance group Survival Research Laboratories (SRL) within the field of machine art during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and as organized under the headings of (a) destruction/survival; (b) the cyborg as a symbol of human/machine interpenetration; and (c) biomechanical sexuality. As a manifestation of the era’s “industrial” culture, moreover, the work of SRL artists Mark Pauline and Eric Werner was often conceived in collaboration with industrial musicians like Monte Cazazza and Graeme Revell, and all of whom shared a common interest in the same influences. One such influence was the novel Crash! by English author J. G. Ballard, and which in turn revealed the ultimate direction in which all of these artists sensed society to be heading: towards a world in which sex itself has fallen under the mechanical demiurge.

The paper is devoted to the study of semantic and functional features of expressive derivatives, both usual and occasional, in the artistic gist of the novel “Asan” by V. Makanin, as well as their role in structuring the individual-author’s linguistic picture of the world. It has been proven that the derivation of expressive lexemes is the result of improvisation according to established patterns, and that the formation of occasional substantives, adjectives and verbs involved the main methods of the Russian word derivation. It is noted that in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin, in the substantive word-formation, suffixation plays a leading role, which takes place in the sphere of abstractness and includes such lexical-semantic groups as expressive substantives with the meaning of a person, expressive substantives with the meaning of abstracted action or an abstract feature with connotation, as a rule, negative and/or reduced colloquial connotation. While in the sphere of adjectival and verbal word formation, confixation and prefixation, as the formation of expressiveness, is most productive. The paper considers the phenomenon of semantic word formation, describes the formation of semantic derivatives, including in the field of occasional vocabulary. Expressive derivatives in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin are a bright sign of his individual style, an important means of expressing the world view and outlook of the writer.

The aim of the study was to identify the role of cytokine storm in COVID-19, that emerged at the end of 2019, based on the analysis of 80 publications, including 17.4% Russian and 82.6% foreign publications for 2014–2020 with an average impact factor of 11.94 and a maximum of 74.699. This review includes an in-depth discussion of the possible causes and pathogenetic factors of cytokine storm syndrome development caused by COVID-19. The results of research on the use of various principles of cytokine storm correction are provided. It has been established that lung damage and the development of a fatal outcome are caused not by the virus itself, but by the hyperreaction of the body's immune system. The leading role in this process belongs to the cytokine storm, including the action of IL-6.

The article demonstrates how the chapter of the “Father” of the novel by A. Terts (A. D. Sinyavsky) “Good Night” is structured, shows how the image of the protagonist's father is built. The storylines of the son and father in the chapter are made in such a way that they rely on typologically similar elements, which largely determine the behavior, characters. In the fate of both, a bicycle and a gun play an important role; at the same time, they acquire new acquaintances of children; their fates were influenced by books; both are prone to invention; revolutionary, arrested. The father seems to help his son to penetrate the secrets of literary skill. The chapter “Father” is presented in such a way as to reflect judgments about literary work that Sinyavsky had a conversation with his father. The author refuses a linear, consistent narrative (for example, within several lines, events that fall on several decades may collide). The concept of mystery plays an important role in the narrative. At the same time, such a secret is important in the chapter, which will be exposed by its carriers. The original narrative in “Good Night” allows you to control both the narrator's awareness of the father and the degree of awareness of the reader. Avoiding a linear, consistent, “rational” narrative, A. D. Sinyavsky postulates the failure of such a story about human fate, where it is thought of as organically whole.

The Relationship

Las relaciones entre la literatura y la geografía urbana de una época de rupturas y cambios como la Modernidad son muy complejas. Sin embargo, algunas de ellas sí son rastreables. Una, por ejemplo, es la de unos protagonistas que ya no pueden ponerse al servicio de una aventura general y la de una escena marcada por la inestabilidad que no admite ya los clásicos cronotopos de la frontera y el camino de los que hablara Mijail Bajtin. Es desde entonces que puede hablarse de que la trama de la novela es el propio escenario urbano y el héroe peripatético que deambula por sus calles es el protagonista de aquello que el crítico inglés Raymond Williams llamó refiriéndose a la obra de Charles Dickens «la novela como forma». The relationship between literature and urban geography at a time of changes and breakdowns in modern times are very complex. Hovewer, some of them can be understood. For instance, one of them is about some main protagonist’s in a novel who doesn’t any longer serve the general adventure and a moving unstable scene which doesn’t admit those classic Bakhtin’s chronotopes of the frontiere and the path. Since then, the novel’s plot is the urban scene and the peripatetic hero and his dwellings play the leading role in what the english critic Raymond Williams wrote about Charles Dickens called «the novel as a form».

Pastoral Novel

The subject of the article is the peculiarities of sentimentalism in one of W. Godwin's early novels "Imogen". The author comes to the conclusion that, relying on the traditional understanding of sentimental pastoralism (the leading role of nature in the "bucolic" or "Georgian" understanding, the use of a pastoral chronotope, idealization of the pastoral lifestyle, the depiction of platonic feelings between heroes, the presence of pastoral conflicts), W. Godwin uses these features as a background to illustrate his socio-political ideas. He widely uses the technique of contrast, building a system of conflicts on its basis, complicates the nature of the characters and the relationships between them, making them more contradictory, and experiments with style and genre canons. As a result, the originality of the author's perception of sentimentalism in the pastoral novel "Imogen" lies in the mixture of typically sentimental features and the author's specific socio-political worldview. In addition, while writing the novel, the writer's style is still in development, which also leaves an imprint on the manifestation of a sentimental basis in the work.

Novel Coronavirus

Due to its leading role in fighting infections, the human immune system has been the focus of many studies in the context of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In a worldwide effort, the scientific community has transitioned from reporting about the effects of the novel coronavirus on the human body in the early days of the pandemic to exploring the body’s many immunopathological and immunoprotecting properties that have improved disease treatment and enabled the development of vaccines. The aim of this review is to explain what happens to the immune system after recovery from COVID-19 and/or vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease. We detail the way in which the immune system responds to a SARS-CoV-2 infection, including innate and adaptive measures. Then, we describe the role of vaccination, the main types of COVID-19 vaccines and how they protect us. Further, we explain the reason why immunity after COVID-19 infection plus a vaccination appears to induce a stronger response compared with virus exposure alone. Additionally, this review reports some correlates of protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In conclusion, we reinforce that vaccination is safe and important in achieving herd immunity.

Theories Of Emotions

Only recently has the history of emotions emerged as a field of investigation, and within that field the study of emotions in classical Antiquity now plays a leading role. The belatedness of the field is due, in part, to the widespread assumption that emotions are universal and innate; hence, they have no history. They were the same for the ancient Greeks and Romans as they are today. Recent analyses of the emotions as socially constructed, at least in some degree, have encouraged comparative and historical approaches. Classicists, in turn, are privileged in having access to detailed and astute accounts of the emotions by native speakers of Greek and Latin, in addition to a wealth of literature, such as tragedy and the novel, that exhibits the emotions in action. This has prompted the rapid development of the field. This article begins, accordingly, with a brief overview of modern theories of emotions and then proceeds to overviews and more detailed studies of emotions in classical Antiquity.

This article examines the problem of representation of chronotope using language means. The object of this research is a series of novels “The Chronicles of Amber” by Roger Zelazny in English language. The subject of this research is the lexical units and stylistic techniques used by R. Zelazny for visualization of representation of the chronotope of Chaos. The article substantiates attribution of this series of novels to postmodernist based on the analysis of characteristic features of the text and realization of the ideological concept. The goal of study lies determination of the universal principles of representation of spatial-temporal continuum of the Chaos, as well as establishment of dependence of the choice evaluative connotation of language means on personality of the narrator. The work is conducted at the intersection of linguistics and literary studies. The novelty consists in recognition of the leading role of chronotopic subject in determining tonality of representation of the chronotope. The main conclusion is defined by the fact that the key principle of representation of spatial and temporal components of the chronotope of Chaos in R. Zelazny’s series of novels is the destruction of realistic perception of space and time. It was also established that change of voice of the narrator leads to the shift of evaluative paradigm. An extremely negative attitude of the first narrator to the Courts of Chaos as a representative of the chronotope of Chaos, expressed through the negatively connoted epithets, is justified by its affiliation to Amber as a representative of the Order. Dual position of the second narrator leads to the change in tonality of description of physical personification of the chronotope of Chaos. Counterbalance of negatively and positively connoted lexical units creates the effect of objectivity, essential for realization of ideological content of the novel.

Meena Kandasamy’s debut novel The Gypsy Goddess tackles the plight of a community of Dalit agricultural labourers who live and work in inhuman conditions, coping with the unrelenting oppression and heartbreaking atrocities inflicted upon them by their ruthless upper-caste landlords in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. In particular, this novel revolves around the historical massacre that took place in the village of Kilvenmani on Christmas Day, 1968. The aim of this article will be to analyse the different ways in which Kandasamy, so far known as a critically acclaimed poet, uses the novel as a literary genre, together with some well-known postmodern theories and strategies, in order to disclose the shortcomings of traditional linear plot-driven novels, criticize the exoticism so often displayed in contemporary Indian fiction, unearth the “other” side of official Indian history, dig up the traumatic story of an entire Dalit community’s fight for freedom, and give voice to those who were for so long relegated to silence, invisibility, and oblivion. As this analysis will make clear, the experimental nature of this novel allows Kandasamy to confront readers with an unpalatable reality beyond the capacity of the conventional realist novel.
