During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a new form of historiography developedin Europe under the influence of 'antiquarianism'. lts novel approach to the proper handlingof historical sources and divergent writing style represented a drastic break from traditionalhistoriographical ideals. In this paper, I wish to explore this scholarly developmentfrom a comparative perspective on the basis of a small corpus of early modernnational histories. I will focus attention on two complementary aspects of these workswhich are particularly revelatory of the scholarly views which influenced their composition:the handling of historical sources and the style of the text. These two dimensionspresent the two faces of historiography: the scientific study and the literary work and aretherefore particularly revelatory of the crucial shift from historiography as a literary genreto historical studies as a scientific discipline which took place in this period.

This essay discusses Grigorije Bozovic's literary and publicistic work and the degree to which it offers factography for anthropogeographical anthropological (that is, related to racial features), ethnographic ethnopsychological, sociological and characterological studies of our nation living in the regions discussed in his literary and publicistic works. The author particularly analyses his traveller's reports Sa sedla i samara (From the Saddle and Pack-Saddle), Crte i reze (Lines and Bars), Po Drenici (In Drenica) and others; it also analyses the short stories published in Srpska Knjizevna Zadruga (Serbian Literary Cooperative) (Rodjak / A Relative) and in the collections with the titles Roblje Zarobljeno (Captured Slaves) and Neizmisljeni Likovi (Nonfictional Characters). On the basis of the reviews and analyses of Grigorije Bozovic's publicistic and literary works in this essay, one could make a conclusion that they represent a significant scientific material and more than just that, the material relevant for the study of our and other nations in these Balkan regions.

History Of

In the history of any scientific discipline, certain people stand out because they effectively defined the discipline, separated it from neighbouring specialities, and gave it a local habitation and a name. Three names stand out in the history (brief though it may be) of the scientific study of personality. The first is A. Heymans, a Dutch philosopher who almost single-handedly introduced the various theoretical, methodological and psychometric methods that characterise modern personality study (Eysenck, 1992). In the early years of this century, he put forward theories of specific personality dimensions, carried out rating studies on large numbers of subjects, correlated traits and devised a primitive method of factor analysis, derived factors that have stood the test of time (extraversion and neuroticism, to give them their modern names), and even went so far as to carry out psychological and physiological experiments to test deductions from these theories. As a reward for all this pioneering effort he is completely neglected in the modern literature; Hall et al (1985), in their Introduction to Theories of Personality gave much room to nonentities like Medard Boss, but make no mention of Heymans. He committed the ultimate crime of not being born in America, and must therefore be considered a non-person. Fortunately his theories and methodologies five on, largely in the London School.

Scholarly Attention

Anthropologists pay considerable attention to the writing style, the construction of a text, and the question of ethnographic authority, particularly since Derek Freeman's critique of Margaret Mead's Samoa writings. Although the issue of representation of the history and culture of far-flung peoples in the form of the written report is a long and distinguished tradition in the field of cultural anthropology, the Freeman/Mead debates have raised a number of questions ranging from the problem of faulty citation practices to the issue of vulnerable ethnographic authority. The debate over Freeman's critique of Mead has developed into a major controversy and was featured at the 1983 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association (Marshall 1993:604). Since then, numerous articles and books have been written on the debate, and while many people have become tired of the “whole mess”, the case continues to attract scholarly attention.Critiques of Freeman often revolve around the sources Freeman used to support his historical argument against Mead, illuminating how Freeman used rhetorical devices, selectively omitted vital passages in historical documents that he cited, and “heavily” used partial quotations and (sometimes) ellipses, in order to “…undermine Mead's ethnographic authority and enhance his own” (e.g., Marshall 1993:604).

We consider the implementation of the literary cinematic principles in Boris Akunin’s cycle “Bruderschaft with Death”, which we analyze using intertextual, contextual methods, as well as the method of holistic analysis of a literary work. We substantiate that “novel-cinema” as a new form, which is the result of intermedial interaction (one of the key processes of the modern cultur-al space) contributes to the assertion in the texts of novellas to develop “visible”, dynamic action emphasized in the visual space, constructed through the characters system and utilitarian editing. We establish that in B. Akunin’s text there is a corpus of visual material (posters, illustrations, photographs) that asserts a specific visual image of the events described. However, the existence of such a visual corpus contributes to the generation of additional semantics, which changes the emphasis in the “visual – verbal” relationship. As a result, we conclude that in the novellas of cy-cle not only the main provisions of “literary cinematic” are realized, but the text itself appears as secondary in relation to the primary visual matter, to the conditional pre-, post- or postrevolution-ary “film”, the existence of which is indicated by the presented corpus of illustrations and photo-graphs. Research materials and general conclusions can be used to analyze not only other works of B. Akunin, but also modern domestic and world literature in the context of intertextual and inter-mediate interaction.

Ian Mcewan

Critically acclaimed writer, Ian McEwan, has been recognized as a pioneer for writing unique forms of fiction. His craftsmanship has been explained as “rational”, “controlled”, and “precise”. The narrative organization in his works brings out the human nature, which is at times, introduced as misled, confused, and guilt ridden. Influenced by Freud, McEwan has written novels which probe into the psyche of the characters so deeply that they resemble psychological case studies. It is here argued that a psychological reading can be done based on the theories of Erik Erikson; namely, identity crisis and identity formation of the characters. Furthermore, to provide a richer theoretical background, narratology is incorporated. Monika Fludernik‟s narratological novel approach sheds light on issues of misinterpretation and unreliability to further verify the psychological aspects of the work. Atonement and Enduring Love have been analyzed as evidence on the basis of theories in narratology and psychology. Finally, drawing on both theories, a new form of character representation will be manifested on identity and self-recognition.

Style Of Writing

The emphasis of the paper is on the linguistic analysis of fragments from the novel Grička vještica written by Marija Jurić Zagorka. The paper objective is to answer how much linguistic craftsmanship defined this novel, and thus the literary work of Zagorka in general. It has been shown how language and literature in Zagorka’s writing intertwine. The language of the novel was analysed by extracting concrete fragments in which the lexics, stylistic figures and additional features of Zagorka’s style of writing were analysed. We researched how much attention was given to the language in building the plot. The arising question is how justified the position of Zagorka outside the literary canon is if her writing style does not differ significantly from the writers who are included in the canon.

This chapter examines the role of gender and myth in the Swedish novel Hertha, which is often identified as the “first emancipatory women’s novel.” Combining Bruce Lincoln’s insights into myth with an experimental, self-reflexive writing style (suited to Hertha’s own experimental style), the chapter explores the ways in which the novel combines Christian and Norse religious narratives in order to imagine a radical new form of female identity and a utopian future. While Hertha might ultimately be read as a “failed novel,” the chapter suggest, it can also be seen as a kind of revolutionary myth that helped inspire change.

People pursue scientific study to learn about the riddle of the world we live. Assuming that the ontological vocation of the academic profession is to transform the world for better living, economics as a scientific discipline will have to develop theories and tools to understand social reality and work towards its creative transformation. This article tries to argue that mainstream economics that reduces social life into exchange value calculus or mathematical formalism rules out such a process of building a better society. It has dismissed vital issues like structural inequalities, social injustices and the like as central issues of development economics. This may be seen as an effort to draw attention towards rethinking the domain of the discipline of economics and set its epistemological foundation on a more relevant footing.

On the development of two progressive constructions in U̠t-Ma’in

Abstract U̠t-Ma’in (Kainji, Benue-Congo), spoken in northwestern Nigeria, has two morphosyntactically distinct progressive constructions – the Intransitive Progressive Construction and the Transitive Progressive Construction. This paper presents the synchronic structure of each construction, proposed historical sources of the distinct morphological pieces, and a comparison of the U̠t-Ma’in Progressive Constructions with cognate elements from four Kainji language clusters. No single source component has grammaticalized to mark progressive aspect in U̠t-Ma’in. Rather, the combination of several elements created the progressive. Formal changes in several morphosyntactic elements within each of the constructions provide evidence that originally nominalized verb forms are gradually becoming less noun-like and more verb-like. These developments are examples of constructionalization, as the Progressive Constructions exist as new form-meaning pairs distinct from the source. These formal changes also show signs of adjustment, whereby a construction moves toward isomorphism, that is, a one-to-one correspondence between form and meaning. Specifically, various stages of morphological loss are evident in particular lexemes when used in U̠t-Ma’in Progressive Constructions, gradually spreading throughout the lexicon.

The research paper focused on revealing the individual writing style of Jane Austen based on the novel Northanger Abbey and interpretations of its various adaptations. The purpose of the article is to prove that the individual author’s style can be reconstructed due to different stylistic devices that help the reader to understand the message of a literary work more profoundly and take into account in the process of film adaptations. An author’s style is characterized by numerous factors including spelling, word choices, sentence structures, punctuation, use of literary stylistic devices (irony, metaphors, rhyme, etc.) and organization of ideas, narration structure, and overall tone of the narration. The main analytic procedures used in the research are keyness, collocation, and cluster. The authors also define that the novel under analysis is a parody of Gothic fiction. The author ruined the conventions of eighteenth-century novels by making her heroine fall in love with the character before he has a serious thought of her and exposing the heroine’s romantic fears and curiosities as groundless. The article deals with adaptation as an integral part of the concept of intersemiotic translation. It is possible to say that adaptation is an attempt to translate the content of the adapted material into its screening; intersemiotic translation focuses on the analysis and interpretation of semiotic codes in the scope of adapted material. Seven basic operations used to differentiate the range of adaptation are substitution, reduction, addition, amplification, inversion, transaccentation, compression.
