Abstract Background: A famous literary critic and writer, representative of the “Moloda Muza” group, B. Lepky was published in numerous Ukrainian and foreign journals in the early twentieth century. Today, his cooperation with Polish and German editions has been partially explored, but the Czech direction remains almost unclear. There are only individual references to B. Lepky's cultural publications in the “Slovanský přehled” journal in the works of V. Doroshenko, V. Lev, B. Rubchak. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze the interpretative bases of B. Lepky's publications in “Slovanský přehled”, namely, five annual reviews of Ukrainian literature (1901, 1902, 1903, 1905, 1906) and three cultural pieces of knowledge: about the composer M. Lysenko, about the translation of short stories by M. Kotsiubynsky into Polish, and the scientific works of M. Hrushevsky, B. Barvinsky and V. Shchurat. Results: B. Lepky followed I. Franko in editing “Slovanský přehled” journal. I. Franko prepared the ground for the Czechs to familiarize them with Ukrainian literature. In a series of annual reviews, B. Lepky considered Ukrainian literature in the pan-European context, translating the realities of national culture into the language of universal cultural concepts. Not contradicting realism and modernism, the critic appraised the high artistic value of the works by Lesya Ukrainka, V. Stefanyk, M. Kotsyubynsky, O. Kobylyanska, which were marked by modern stylistic trends. Trying to convey the original content to the foreign reader, B. Lepky approached his critical speech to the poetic one, painting it with impressionistic strokes and symbolic imagery. The author concluded that the importance of B. Lepky’s Czech publications was important for understanding the ways in which Ukrainian writing was modernized and contextualized in Slavic and pan-European culture in the early twentieth century. Key words: Modernism period, literary process, critical writing, literary review, review, contextualization, impressionism, symbolism.

This essay examines Lawd Today!, Richard Wright's posthumously published novel, written in the 1930s but only made available to readers in 1963. Concentrating on the epigraphs that punctuate the novel, the essay demonstrates the significance of the social criticism of the 1910s and 1920s to Wright's formation as literary artist. In particular, Wright was drawn to the writings of the Young American critics, including Van Wyck Brooks and Waldo Frank, whose criticisms of national ideologies furthered a commitment to “Americanism” as a horizon of social and cultural renewal. Wright's intellectual immersion in early twentieth-century US social criticism gave Lawd Today! a Young American critical imprint. Drawing upon the work of Ernesto Laclau on “populism,” the essay reads Wright's novel as invested in an “Americanism” that seeks to describe common features of early twentieth-century black migrant experience in the urban North in terms of larger national and modern dynamics.

Background  Drawing on infrastructure theories of communication, this article considers the snowmobile as an exceptional instance of transport and media circulation in rural Québec and Eastern Canada. In the early twentieth century, the snowmobile provided a temporary fix to the isolation of developing communities. When the snow and cold descended on these regions, both transport and communication came to a standstill for months. Analysis  This article explores how the snowmobile provided a workaround to the environmental conditions that cut parts of the nation off from the evolving mobilities of the era. Conclusions and implications  Transporting people, goods, and messages across social and environmental divides, the snowmobile illustrates how challenging topographies can precipitate invention. This process of mediation is indivisible from its social, environmental, and cultural context. Résumé Contexte Se basant sur les théories infrastructurelles de la communication, ce travail examine le rôle de l’autoneige en tant que forme exceptionnelle du transport et de la circulation des médias dans le contexte rural au Québec et dans l’est du Canada. Au début du XXe siècle, l’autoneige représente un remède temporaire à l’isolation des communautés en développement. À l’arrivée de la neige et des temps froids, les moyens de transport et de communication s’immobilisent pendant des mois. Analyse  L’article explore l’histoire de l’autoneige comme solution « de contournement » (work-around) aux conditions environnementales qui isolent alors des régions du pays par rapport à l’évolution contemporaine de la mobilité. Conclusion et implications  En transportant des personnes, des biens et des messages au-delà des divisions sociales et environnementales, l’autoneige illustre la manière dont les obstacles topographiques catalysent l’imagination. Ce processus médiatique est indissociable de son contexte social, environnemental et culturel.

Chapter 1 examines the intellectual, ecclesial, and wider cultural context underpinning the diverse modern interpretations of John’s thought. Twentieth-century studies of John, for all their methodological variety, have been dominated by three traditions of interpretation that have only grasped partial elements in his teaching, important though these elements are. These traditions have emphasized the importance of ‘affectivity’ in the spiritual life, the meanings of ‘mysticism’ or ‘mystical experience’, and the theological significance of John’s poetic language. Each strand of thought, however, originates from particular early twentieth-century theological and philosophical commitments whose legacy continues to inform present-day reading of John. Recognition of the extent to which previous works have been shaped by disciplinary boundaries that took their shape in the last century enables a renewed appreciation of John’s theology on its own terms. Through this insight aspects of his work that have all too often been split between spirituality, mysticism, literary studies, and theological anthropology—in particular, his creative reworking of the notion of desire—may be better appreciated.

The Way

The Introduction sets out the immediate historical and cultural context in which twentieth-century Russian religious philosophers began to write about deification. The inter-revolutionary period (1905–17), characterized by unprecedented political instability and violence, created an atmosphere of apocalyptic foreboding and prompted religious philosophers creatively to assimilate the Orthodox concept of deification in their attempts to conceptualize human overcoming of the end, of mortality itself. These attempts are presented as fundamentally modernist: more or less free interpretations of the deification theme that arise out of the engagement of the authors under consideration with the modernist discourses of Marxism, Symbolism, and Nietzsche. It is argued that the primary leitmotifs, common to these three, that shape the way deification was received in the early twentieth century, are praxis and transformation, specifically the transformation of matter. The four works to be analysed present a spectrum of deification reception, from least to most Orthodox.

Depth Analysis

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the reasons for which insane individuals who had committed patricide were systematically sentenced to dismemberment (lingchi 凌遲) under the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), the most severe form of capital punishment that could be called for in the state's administrative and penal Code. This extreme harshness ran contrary to several “theoretical” foundations of Chinese traditional law, first and foremost the principle of criminal intent. Through the study of such criminal cases, and others legally affiliated to patricide, spanning the seventeenth to the early twentieth century, it underlines the importance of the relationship between a parent and his child, which was prominent in China's moral and cultural context at the time. It also stresses the role of political issues related to the legitimacy of the imperial state and to the upholding of the legality of its judicial process. Even though legal tools existed in the Qing Code, which would have allowed for a more lenient approach, and notwithstanding the Qing authorities' ongoing effort at defining specific legal procedures for insane homicides, lingchi was systematically applied to insane patricides until the early twentieth century, when the far-reaching legal reforms implemented during the last years of the imperial regime progressively opened the way for the recognition of the legal irresponsibility of insane individuals.

Style Of Writing

The article considers the life of the Galician rural community of the early twentieth century, reflected in the works of Vasyl Stefanyk, the embodiment of the writer’s socio-political views. The spiritual foundations of the public rural system, which exist in the people’s consciousness at the genetic level and which act as a regulator and a reliable guardian of public order, have been analyzed. The authors trace how the new socio-political conditions cause changes in public life and what role the educated intelligentsia plays in these processes. In order to lead the people, it is necessary to understand them, to inspire their trust. Fiction is first and foremost an art. In the article, the writer’s ideas are presented through the interpretation of full-length, relief images, artistic details that express his ideas about the rural community. V. Stefanyk is an expressionist, so he portrays a person in extreme situations, in moments of the highest emotional tension, with a naked soul. This style of writing allows the author to achieve the maximum level of truthfulness. As a result, it was noted that at the beginning of the twentieth century there were traditions of collective solution of social problems in Ukraine, peasants sought to develop through education to improve their lives, to learn to defend their rights. Communities also took care of national life: they honored national heroes who became national symbols, because it was clear that without a common cultural memory, the images of which acquire symbolic significance, it was difficult to unite the people. Thus, Ukrainians have long traditions of public life that were interrupted during Soviet totalitarianism, but now the people are gradually returning to them, especially at critical moments in history when it is necessary to unite to confront the threats to democracy. As you can see, socio-political life continues in a cultural context, which is often determined for it. In view of this, it is promising to study the reflection of society in Ukrainian artistic literature, which depicts being in its entirety and diversity.

Early Twentieth Century

A good deal has been said, and much of it negative, about the influence of Neoplatonism on the work of Torquato Tasso. Tasso's early biographer Serassi believed that it was at best a juvenile interest which gave place to a mature Aristotelianism, and this view survived into the early-twentieth-century study by Donadoni, along with the accusation that Tasso managed to platonize ‘senza sentire la forza del pensiero platonico’. More recently, B. T. Sozzi reexamined Tasso's Dialogues and works of literary criticism, and came to the conclusion that Tasso's interest in Neoplatonism was neither superficial nor transient, and became if anything more explicit in the later works; for Sozzi, however, Tasso's Neoplatonism is primarily a matter of temperament, a ‘segreta predilezione’ for the magical and the mystical, which has to fight for survival with the more rigorous structures of Aristotelian critical principles.

The purpose of the article is to define the stages of the study of historiography of the problem of the bourgeoisie formation in the Dnieper region of Ukraine of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Research methods: general historical methods (historical-comparative, historical-typological, historical-systematic) and special-historical (periodization, chronological, problem-chronological). Classification, historical-biographical methods and network analysis method are used. Main results: The article highlights three periods of historiography of the study of the problem of the bourgeoisie formation in the Dnieper region of Ukraine in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century: pre-revolutionary, Soviet and modern. Concise conclusions: at the first stage of the research the studies were pragmatic, they were not complex historical works. The authors focused on the process of monopolization of industry and the role of foreign capital in the development of the region. They were specialists well-informed in their business, therefore, in their works, we can find valuable information about the economic situation, statistical data, coverage of the work of the congresses of the southern mining industry. During the second period, Ukrainian and Russian scientists worked a lot and fruitfully, exploring the problems of economic and industrial development of the Dnieper region of Ukraine. The works of the scientists became not narrowly pragmatic and more scientifically substantiated and more fundamental. However, these works were ideologized by the Marxist-Leninist methodology. During the third stage of the study of the problem in independent Ukraine, opportunities for conducting complex and systematic studies have improved. Practical significance: The research is recommended for use in teaching history of Ukraine of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Originality: the generalization of the experience of historiography research of the problem of the bourgeoisie development is used. Scientific novelty: for the first time the method of network analysis is proposed. It allows to determine the role and place of the individual representatives of the bourgeoisie of the Dnieper region in the Ukrainian intellectual community. Article type: overview description.
