scholarly journals So Imagism Began

The paper aims at exploring the importance of the first period of Imagism development in the twentieth-century literary history. Turning our mind to the dawn of Imagism is important because the analysis of its first stage helps uncover the main goal of the research – to prove that the short success history and the long-term influence of Imagism on the twentieth-century English-language poetry and lyrical narrative history have been rooted both in the practical “behaviour rules” for the new poetry and in the complex aesthetic debate with the previous tradition – Classicism, Romanticism and Symbolism. The new focus of the research is the investigation of “The Poets’ Club” (T. E. Hulme, F. Flint et al.) and particularly Edward Storer’s activity in Imagist theory and practice elaboration. This aspect of the paper adjusts and deepens the generally accepted point of view on the Ezra Pound’s decisive role in shaping the movement being the only “impresario” of Imagism and Modernism. T. E. Hulme’s ideas of breaking with the Romantic aesthetics for the Classicist one; substituting metaphor with analogy; focusing on particular physical image ((“Lecture on Modern Poetry”, 1908; “Romanticism and Classicism”, 1911) were supported by Edward Storer. The search for new verse poetics denying the absolute imperative of syllabic tonics, artificial rhythm and rhyme, was also common. First imagists’ theoretical views review is backed up with the analysis of Hulme’s (“Autumn”, “Embankment”, “Conversion”) and Storer’s (“Illusion”, “Image”, “By the Shore”) poems on the background of Romantic and Georgian poetry. It’s hardly possible to over-estimate the role of T. E. Hulme, F. Flint, E. Storer and “The Poets’ Club” in Imagism making as they were not just proclaiming the new relations “author/persona – text/image – reader” but also exhibiting the concern for the receptive side of poetry; new objectiveness instead of Romantic abstraction; impersonality, technical freedom and “new symbolism” found in “small dry images”.

The article looks at book production and circulation from the point of view of translators, who, as purchasers and readers of foreign-language books, are an important mediating force in the selection of literature for translation. Taking the German publisher Tauchnitz's series ‘Collection of British Authors’ and its circulation in Finland in the nineteenth and early twentieth century as a case in point, the article argues that the increased availability of English-language books facilitated the acquiring and honing of translators' language skills and gradually diminished the need for indirect translating. Book history and translation studies meet here in an examination of the role of the Collection in Finnish translators' work.

This chapter discusses national literary histories in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the South Pacific and summarises the book's main findings regarding the construction and revision of narratives of national identity since 1950. In colonial and postcolonial cultures, literary history is often based on a paradox that says much about their evolving sense of collective identity, but perhaps even more about the strains within it. The chapter considers the complications typical of postcolonial literary history by focusing on the conflict between collective celebration and its refutation. It examines three issues relating to the histories of English-language fiction in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the South Pacific: problems of chronology and beginnings, with a special emphasis on Indigenous peoples; the role of the cultural elite and the history wars in the Australian context; and the influence of postcolonial networks on historical methodology.

Abstract The constant conflict between decisions leading to immediate pleasurable consequences versus behaviors aiming at long-term social advantages is reviewed here in the framework of the evolutionary systems regulating behavior. The inescapable temporal perspective in decision-making in everyday life is highlighted and integrated with the role of the executive functions in the modulation of subcortical systems. In particular, the representations of the 'non-existent' future in the prefrontal cortical regions and how these representations can bridge theory and practice in everyday life are addressed. Relevant discussions regarding the battle between emotions and reasons in the determination of more complex decisions in the realm of neuroeconomics and in moral issues have been reserved for a second essay.

Abstract. Modern international electronic stock trading is becoming increasingly important in the organization of the system of international trade relations. Several studies of the domestic and foreign scientists have highlighted various aspects of the place and role of electronic exchanges in trade relations between countries. At the same time, the peculiarities of the mechanism of functioning of the international e-commerce, which is constantly evolving and improving, need to be studied both from the point of view of theory and practice. Electronic exchanges have created and implemented their own mechanism of functioning, which turns them into the most organized form of international trade. It is substantiated that trends and key features of the development of electronic exchanges can be tracked and forecasted with the help of relevant stock indices. The main features and the most important aspects of the development of electronic exchanges are determined, based on the analysis of stock indices of the two largest electronic exchanges in the world, the geographical structure of electronic stock exchanges and the dynamics of the use of artificial intelligence in the exchange trading process. Here also highlighted the negative and positive interdependencies regarding the future development of international e-commerce.

The work shows the role of the vegetative nervous system (VNS) in the functioning of long-term memory, identity mechanisms of long-term memory in the human evolutionary adaptation and substance dependence. It is shown that, depending on the substance of the body are states like pro- gressive adaptation, that the bodycondition, depending on the chemical and psychogenic psychoactive- factors state of the same circle. It proposed the creation of a branch of medicine that combines study of the dependence of the organism, both on the chemical and psychoactive psychogenic factors. Given the classification of psychoactive factors.Onomastics formulated definitions of terminology changes and additions to be used in a new branch of medicine. Proposed allocation of the International Classifica- tion of diseases separate chapter for the classification of states like progressive adaptation of the body depending on psychoactive factors.

With the purpose of water resources estimation of Aghstafachai-Ganjachai interfluve, geophysical surveys have been carried out. As a result, based on the well data, the maps were developed and interface conditions of the territory specified. The tectonic structure of Aghstafachai-Ganjachai interfluve lowland is associated with the formation of a sole artesian basin on its territory. Aghstafachai, Hasansu, Tovuzchai, Zeyemchai, Shamkirchai, Goshgarchai, Ganjachai and Kurekchai, being the main source of groundwater recharge, created a combined alluvial cone on the territory. The underground water of these rivers were studied in the sloping plain and the estimation of its volume carried out as well. It was revealed that the underground water on a large part of studied territory is fresh and less mineralized. From the bacteriological point of view, it is clean water. The content of microelements and harmful chemical substances in the water does not exceed the standards set for the drinkable water. Despite the long-term usage, the quality of the underground water, the mineralization degree and chemical composition remain unchanged. The regime of underground water is characterized with the irrigated climate type. Hydrogeological indexes and the parameters of ground water horizon in the studied area justify the possibility of their research for water supply.

This chapter assesses the role of planning in the design of governance strategies. Enthusiasm for large-scale planning—also known as overall, comprehensive, long-term, economic, or social planning—boomed and collapsed in twentieth century. At the start of that century, progressive reformers seized on planning as the remedy for the United States' social and economic woes. By the end of the twentieth century, enthusiasm for large-scale planning had collapsed. Plans could be made, but they were unlikely to be obeyed, and even if they were obeyed, they were unlikely to work as predicted. The chapter then explains that leaders should make plans while being realistic about the limits of planning. It is necessary to exercise foresight, set priorities, and design policies that seem likely to accomplish those priorities. Simply by doing this, leaders encourage coordination among individuals and businesses, through conversation about goals and tactics. Neither is imperfect knowledge a total barrier to planning. There is no “law” of unintended consequences: it is not inevitable that government actions will produce entirely unexpected results. The more appropriate stance is modesty about what is known and what can be achieved. Plans that launch big schemes on brittle assumptions are more likely to fail. Plans that proceed more tentatively, that allow room for testing, learning, and adjustment, are less likely to collapse in the face of unexpected results.

This chapter aims to clarify the role of social networking sites (SNSs) such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn in building the reputation of enterprises. SNSs have a vast potential in the digital environment to build reputation and thus a long-term competitive advantage for companies. The chapter opts for a literature review with which to discuss the difficulties and possibilities companies have in building reputation through SNSs. The SNSs used in companies are marketing-centered. Engagement is promoted only with customers, and is short-term and centered on results instead of being long-term and centered on competitive advantage and promoting engagement with different stakeholders. This issue is not dependent on the size of the company. Instead, it is dependent on understanding the concept of reputation from a strategic point of view, with companies adapting their management to their own particularities and to the different possibilities offered by SNSs.

Business schools play a key role in training marketing professionals. However, there is a strong divide between the expectations held by marketing professionals and those held in academia. This article considers this phenomenon from a theoretical point of view and explores its causes. The author argues that business schools are able to play a key role in bridging theory and practice in marketing. The article closes by offering several suggestions for how business schools might increase the relevance of marketing research while reducing the gap between marketing theory and practice. In particular, the article suggests the adoption of an inductive approach to research and offers a set of policies that business schools can implement in order to close this gap.
