The article analyzes the viewer's perception of the TV series released in spring 2020 called "Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes," based on the same-name novel by Guzel Yakhina. Like the book's publication, the TV adaptation led to sharp polemics in Tatarstan and among Tatars living outside the republic. The TV adaptation demonstrated ethnic-identity elements, including acceptable boundaries and forms of demonstration of "Tatar" identity outside of the Tatar public. The debates exposed the reflection on the idealized perspective of the Tatar past. The "battles for history" in the Tatar discourse on the novel and the TV series become more than just a polemic on the interpretation of a particular event or period of history; it also became a battleground for monopolizing the interpretation of the abstract "past" by different sides. Opponents in debates relied on arguments based on the literary sources or their family narratives while rejecting narratives contradicting their picture of the world.

Permanent Presence

Ethnic diversity describes the plurality of ethnicities within a group of people coexisting in one territory. The permanent presence of other cultures’ representatives can trigger a sense of jeopardy; a feeling that the prevailing way of life, its norms, and its values are challenged by strangers, which results in hostility to ethnic minorities living in the same territory. In this context, the study aimed at investigating specific features of the individual’s ethnic identity determined by the degree of the ethnic diversity of their living environment is of relevance. In order to define regions for the study, the comparative analysis of the ethnic diversity of Russian regions was conducted. Two regions for the study were defined: the Sverdlovsk region as a territory with average ethnic diversity and the Republic of Bashkortostan as a highly diverse region in terms of ethnicity. The respondents from less ethno-diverse areas exhibit global self-identification, the awareness of being a part of the world, and territorial identity. Differences in the degree of sustainability and the intensity of ethnic self-identification of the subjects from regions with varying degrees of ethnic diversity were revealed. Significant distinctions in the meaning of ethnicity for the compared groups of the respondents were found.

Unpleasant Experience

                      This article throws light on the distress a liminal experience could give for an individual or to a community who belong to a specific ethnicity, regarding the novel Snow written by the Turkish writer, Orhan Pamuk. Turkey located geographically in the edges of landscapes where the east and the west meet encounters this liminality over a couple of decades and stays as the setting of the novel Snow. In the liminal state, people fall in the breaks and crevices of the social structure which they think.The liminal stage individual encounters, a period of instability and vulnerability. Orhan Pamuk's Snow reflects the unpleasant experience of progress from the Islam arranged Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey. The setting of the novel, the town of Kars, a periphery city fringe to Turkey stands as a representative of Turkey's minimization from the world. Pamuk supplements the fruitless condition of the city all through this novel.

AbstractThis article discusses the Ivorian writer, Fatou Fanny-Cissé’s novel, Madame la présidente, published in 2015. The novel offers a fundamental critique of African democracy and the contemporary politics in Africa. The Republic of Louma is an imaginary country that show-cases electoral crises in an imaginary contemporary continent. The plot about a female dictator has a strong feminist inclination. The feminisation of presidential elections is a caricature of the dictatorial tendencies of African leaders. The themes discussed are true to contemporary political events in Africa as well as other parts of the world. The presentation reveals a lucid picture of feminine dictatorial politics.

Among the parasitic protozoa, coccidia were most often found in farms of different specializations in young pigs: Isospor asuis, Eimeri aspp. and balantidia - Balantudium coli. From literary sources it is known about the distribution of coccidiosis in many countries of the world where there is a large number of pigs. Based on all noted, they set themselves the task of determining the current epizootic situation on intestinal parasitic pigs in the conditions of industrial farms, paying particular attention to isosporosis. Studies have shown the widespread spread of intestinal parasitic pigs in the industrial-type farms. In pig farms of the Moscow Region, the extent of invasiveness (EI) by isospores was 20–29.4%, with 10–36.4% Eimeria, and 10–50% Balantidia. At the pig farms of the Republic of Mordovia, EI by isospores was 13.3%, by 21.3% by Eimeria, and by 28.6% by Balantidia. In industrial farms in Central Russia, piglets up to 30 days of age were infested with isospores from 10 to 40%. At the same time, monoinvasion in the form of isosporosis was noted in piglets up to 30 days old. Mixed invasion most often occurred in piglets of 2–4 months of age, and the structure of the joints of the parasitocenosis was represented by parasitic protozoa — ameri, balantidia and nematodes.Analysis of the current state of animal husbandry shows that pig farming in our country is conducted in specialized farms on an industrial basis, farms with traditional technology (CJSC, LLC and others), peasant farms and in the private farmstead of citizens. Pig production is one of the main and rapidly developing branches of agriculture in Russia and plays a large role in providing the population with such an important and valuable product as meat. It should be noted that due to the unfavorable epizootic situation of ASF in the country in recent years, the number of pigs has decreased markedly in the private courtyard of citizens. And in specialized industrial farms, which function as closed enterprises, there is a growth in livestock and production.

The Grotesque

The article considers all contexts for the famous phrase, ‘Was there any boy at all?’ found in the novel The Life of Klim Samgin [Zhizn’ Klima Samgina] and indicative of its universality, and attempts to reveal its possible literary sources (lines from the letters by A. Blok and M. Prishvin, and N. Berberova’s poems). The meaning of the recurrent phrase is examined through the author’s philosophical influences (Protagoras, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche), with a particular stress on the connection between Gorky and Schopenhauer, to this day largely neglected by Gorky scholars. The author believes that the leitmotif, ‘Was there any boy at all?’ extends beyond a rhetorical device into a highly generalized philosophical formula of the ‘new’ Gorky, a key to the numerous mysteries in his last work. The use of the allegory brings up those aspects of Gorky’s worldview that explain his tendency towards auctorial narration; enrich our understanding of the emphasis he put on the key principle of ‘the will’, where the Nietzschean interpretation correlates and clashes with the Schopenhauerian one. They also introduce the concept of chaos as a major characteristic of the world in Gorky’s view, which accounts for the grotesque (reminiscent of Bosch) and avant-garde features of his poetics.

Origin Point

Hieroglyphs have persisted for so long in the Western imagination because of the malleability of their metaphorical meanings. Emblems of readability and unreadability, universality and difference, writing and film, writing and digital media, hieroglyphs serve to encompass many of the central tensions in understandings of race, nation, language and media in the twentieth century. For Pound and Lindsay, they served as inspirations for a more direct and universal form of writing; for Woolf, as a way of treating the new medium of film and our perceptions of the world as a kind of language. For Conrad and Welles, they embodied the hybridity of writing or the images of film; for al-Hakim and Mahfouz, the persistence of links between ancient Pharaonic civilisation and a newly independent Egypt. For Joyce, hieroglyphs symbolised the origin point for the world’s cultures and nations; for Pynchon, the connection between digital code and the novel. In their modernist interpretations and applications, hieroglyphs bring together writing and new media technologies, language and the material world, and all the nations and languages of the globe....

Communal Organization

This paper shows how solidarity is one of the founding principles in Thomas More's Utopia (1516). In the fictional republic of Utopia described in Book II, solidarity has a political and a moral function. The principle is at the center of the communal organization of Utopian society, exemplified in a number of practices such as the sharing of farm work, the management of surplus crops, or the democratic elections of the governor and the priests. Not only does solidarity benefit the individual Utopian, but it is a prerequisite to ensure the prosperity of the island of Utopia and its moral preeminence over its neighboring countries. However, a limit to this principle is drawn when the republic of Utopia faces specific social difficulties, and also deals with the rest of the world. In order for the principle of solidarity to function perfectly, it is necessary to apply it exclusively within the island or the republic would be at risk. War is not out of the question then, and compassion does not apply to all human beings. This conception of solidarity, summed up as “Utopia first!,” could be dubbed a Machiavellian strategy, devised to ensure the durability of the republic. We will show how some of the recommendations of Realpolitik made by Machiavelli in The Prince (1532) correspond to the Utopian policy enforced to protect their commonwealth.

The paper is devoted to ethno-cultural landscapes of the Republic of Tuva. Ethnocultural landscapes (ECLs) are specific socio-environmental systems that developed as a result of the interaction of ethnic groups with their natural and social environments and are in a constant process of transformation. An attempt is made to identify the mechanisms of the formation, functioning and dynamics of ethnocultural landscapes in the specific conditions of the intracontinental cross-border mountain region, as well as to establish the main factors-catalysts of their modern changes. For the first time an attempt is made to delimit and map the ethnocultural landscapes of Tuva. For this, literary sources, statistical data and thematic maps of different times are analyzed using geoinformation methods. The results of 2014-2018 field studies are also used, during which interviews with representatives of different ethno-territorial, gender, age and social groups were taken. It is revealed that the key factors of Tuva’s ethnocultural landscape genesis are the natural isolation of its territory; the features of its landscape structure; the role of government; population migrations from other regions and the cultural diffusion provoked by them. 13 ethnocultural landscapes are identified at the regional level. Their modern transformation is determined by the shift of climatic cycles, aridisation, globalisation of sociocultural processes, changes in economic specialisation and ethnopsychological stereotypes.

AbstractWith the rapid onset of an unprecedented lifestyle due to the new coronavirus COVID-19 the world academic scene was forced to reform and adapt to the novel circumstances. Although online education cannot be regarded as a groundbreaking endeavour anymore in the21st century, its current character of exclusivity calls for deeper understanding of, and a sharper focus on the “end-consumer” thereof as well as more cautious procedures to be exercised while teaching. While millennials are no longer thought of as being born with a silver spoon in their mouth but with an iPad or any sort of device in their hand (irrespective of their social status), adults are more hesitant when coerced to alter course unexpectedly and turn to new methods of attaining their learning goals. This is why proper communicative approaches need to be thoroughly considered by online instructors. This article aims at presenting teachers with a set of strategies to employ when the beneficiaries of online academic education are adult learners.

The Impact

The process of globalization, which many times is considered as new world order is affecting all spheres of modern society but also the media. In this paper specifically we will see the impact of globalization because we see changing the media access to global problems in general being listed on these processes. We will see that the greatest difficulties will have small media as such because the process is moving in the direction of creating mega media which thanks to new technology are reaching to deliver news and information at the time of their occurrence through choked the small media. So it is fair to conclude that the rapid economic development and especially the technology have made the world seem "too small" to the human eyes, because for real-time we will communicate with the world with the only one Internet connection, and also all the information are take for the development of events in the four corners of the world and direct from the places when the events happen. Even Albanian space has not left out of this process because the media in the Republic of Albania and the Republic of Kosovo are adapted to the new conditions under the influence of the globalization process. This fact is proven powerful through creating new television packages, written the websites and newspapers in their possession.
