Ophelia of Pirandello: reflections around female madnessAbstractThe article is devoted to an analysis of Luigi Pirandello’s drama As You Desire Me which drawsinspiration from an actual event connected with questions on the identity of a person sufferingfrom amnesia. Unlike the real incident, the main character of Pirandello’s is a woman knownonly by her alias Stranger, as the main theme of the drama is establishing her true identity. Thepresent article aims at proving that Pirandello’s drama is not a criminal mystery, but rathera deep reflection on the notion of human personality which in the case of a woman receivesnew, interesting meanings. One of them is spotting the correspondence between Pirandelli’sStranger and Shakespeare’s Ophelia, as madness of both characters appears to have similarroots: female’s insanity seen through the prism of both dramas appears as defiance againstthe culture of patriarchy, but also stems from the conviction of one’s own emptiness andundefinedness. In this context, referring to studies on feminist criticism (E. Shawalter,K. Kłosińska, K. Woźniak), including studies on female hysteria is of relevance. Even thoughthe structure of drama appears to lead to a finale in which the truth about the character isuncovered, Pirandello does not reveal her true identity. However, questions on female identityand female madness are worth reflecting upon, even if they remain unanswered.Keywords: Luigi Pirandello, As you desire me, impersonality, Ophelia, tarantism, Jean-MartinCharcot, Aleksandra Mianowska, female madness, female identity, Elaine Showalter, feministliterary criticism

The theme of Kant’s autobiographical novel «The Stay» (Der Aufenthalt, 1976) is the spiritual rebirth of German prisoner of war, a soldier of the Hitlerite ar-my. The article reveals the interaction of two components found in the novel: the fic-tional and the real ones in depicting this complex psychological process. The analysis of the chapters (X, XV, VI) shows various forms of artistic –aesthetic processing of authentic autobiographical material. In Chapter X the author «collects» his own emotional impressions, experienced by him in different periods of his life (such as cold, loneliness, hunger) and «ties» them to the situation of the main character sitting in a lonely cell in a prison. In Chapter XV he «adds» to real autobiographical facts an important artistic detail –a school pencil case of a Jewish girl killed by Nazis. In Chapter VI Kant makes a masterful use of temporal and narrative distance: the hero estimates the decisive episode of his youth –a conversation with a Russian woman-doctor from the viewpoint of a mature person recalling his life.

Resumo: O primeiro romance de Moacyr Scliar, A guerra no Bom Fim, publicado em 1972, é tecido pela rememoração de um menino judeu que narra preciosos momentos de sua in-fância no bairro Bom Fim, na mesma época em que eclode a Segunda Guerra Mundial na Europa. O imaginário do protagonista Joel está repleto de acontecimentos relacionados à guerra que permeiam suas lembranças e fazem parte de sua narração, mesclando realidade e fantasia em seu texto. Esse universo bélico mágico criado pelo garoto tem origem, princi-palmente, nas notícias que escutava sobre o que se passava em solo europeu a partir das conversas entre os adultos, dos meios de comunicação do período, bem como das idas ao cinema Baltimore, onde os cartazes dos filmes atraiam os jovens nas matinês de domingo. Fredric Jameson, em seu texto War and Representation, percebe oito variantes nos textos que tematizam a guerra, são elas: a) experiência existencial da guerra; b) experiência coletiva da guerra; c) líderes, oficiais e o exército; d) tecnologia; e) paisagem inimiga; f) atrocidades; g) ataque à pátria e h) ocupação estrangeira. Com isso em mente, tentaremos desvelar as va-riantes bélicas propostas por Jameson no texto de Scliar, a fim de compreender a experiência existencial pela qual passou a personagem que, para se defender das brutalidades do mundo real, passa a criar um cenário fantástico-maravilhoso em que a história e as lendas judaicas ganham vida, enfatizando a via crucis de toda uma geração de imigrantes que chega ao Bra-sil e sofre com o desenraizamento, preconceito e condições precárias de vida. Palavras-chave: Variantes bélicas. Guerra. Representação. Literatura. Abstract: Moacyr Scliar's first novel, A guerra no Bom Fim, published in 1972, is woven by the reminiscence of a Jewish boy who recounts precious moments of his childhood in the Bom Fim neighborhood at the time of II World War in Europe. The imaginary of the pro-tagonist Joel is full of events related to the war itself that permeate his memories and are part of his narration, mixing reality and fantasy in his text. This magical warlike universe created by him has its origins mainly in the news he heard about what was happening on European soil from the conversations between the adults, the media of the period, and the trips to the Baltimore cinema, where the posters of the films attract young people on Sun-day matinees. Fredric Jameson, in his text War and Representation, remarks eight variants or categories in the narratives that have the war as the main theme, they are: a) the existen-tial experience of war; b) the collective experience of war; c) leaders, officers, and the insti-tution of the army; d) technology; e) the enemy landscape; f) atrocities; g) attack on the homeland, and h) foreign occupation. With this in mind, we will try to unveil the warlike variants proposed by Jameson in the text of Scliar, in order to understand the existential ex-perience through which the character passed, whose defense against the brutalities of the real world was to create a fantastic-wonderful scenario in that Jewish history and legends come to life, emphasizing the via crucis of a whole generation of immigrants that arrives in Brazil and suffers from rootlessness, prejudice and precarious conditions of life. Keywords: Warfare variants. War. Representation. Literature.

AbstractA person upright development is essentially connected to communication, and music is the language with the highest degree of communication, is the purest and deepest language, able to express the hidden, the essential, the spiritual. Musical education, achieved in all forms, contexts, periods, etc. under the mark of the upright development of human personality, means “wisdom, balance, love, inner light, harmony, “feeling”, etc.”. [I. Gagim]. Childhood, for this purpose, remains the fundamental stage for the subsequent development and initiation of the child in the “real” world, constituting at the same time, the foundation for his/her human “ becoming”.

In this article we explore "E. T. A. Hoffmann’s complex", which includes real and imaginary worlds, the problem of the mechanisation of life and society, the duality, the romantic irony and grotesque in the series of short stories "Earth Axis" by Valery Bryusov. Following E. T. A. Hoffmann’s tradition, Velery Bryusov creates a special type of romantic the dual world based on the principle of mirror reflection of the real world. The dominance of the unreal world leads to the absorption of the main character. The problem of mechanisation of a life and a man in the series is manifested in the tendency of loss of spirituality in society and an attempt to fill the spiritual emptiness with "inanimate" objects ("Flat", "Defence"). Valery Bryusov creates a grotesque picture of a society ("Earth", "Rise of the Machines"), where the living changes are replaced by the nonliving (machines). Romantic irony and grotesque, which are destructive, become a stylistic device in the work of Valery Bryusov.

This creative work is about a young adult who is excited to explore her identity of someone who has a magical ability. It explores the issue of identities in young adults and its correlation to rebellion in the form of running away, which is common in Indonesia. It aims to bring the readers alongside the main character on her journey of exploring her identity, as well as dealing with her parents’ rejection of the identity that she is most comfortable in. To further understand how she deals with her parents’ pressure to take an identity she does not like, Erik Erikson’s fifth psychosocial stage—Identity vs. Role confusion is used as the first theory of this work. The second theory, James Marcia’s identity status, is used to understand how the main character explores her identity in different statuses. The genre of this creative work is low fantasy, which is a subgenre of fantasy that uses minimal magical elements and is set in the real world.

Borrowing Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the grotesque, this chapter explores how the use of remixed classical works contributes to the game Catherine’s pervasive focus on opposing dualities. The chapter describes in detail how, for example, music comments on the real world and horrific dreamworld experienced within the game by the main character, Vincent, who is in the midst of a major life crisis. It explores how the careful selection of musical works in Catherine, along with the irreconcilable combination of high and low arts, mirrors dualistic structures found throughout the game, from the mixing of unlikely gameplay genres to its narrative details.
