This article is a reflection on historical time, a category that should not be identified with the past strictly speaking, nor even with the historical past. In this text we defend the thesis that a correct view of the History of our times can only be based upon a fluent concept of time, of systemic nature, and that this should only be understood as a nonmechanical way of representing conceptions of the past, present, and historical future, plus the associations that these time elements may establish one another. We devote a section to all of them and highlight the topic of the relationships between the present and the future.Key WordsHistorical time, present, past, historical future.ResumenEl presente artículo es una reflexión sobre el tiempo histórico, categoría que no debe ser identificada con el pasado propiamente y ni tan siquiera con el pasado histórico. En este texto defendemos la tesis de que una visión adecuada de la Historia de Nuestro Tiempo solo puede basarse en una concepción del tiempo fluyente, de naturaleza sistémica, y que éste sólo puede ser entendido como un modo no-mecánico de representar del pasado, el presente y el futuro históricos, así como las asociaciones que se establecen entre todos estos elementos temporales. Dedicamos un apartado a cada uno de ellos, poniendo especialmente el acento en el tema de las relaciones entre el presente y el futuro.Palabras claveTiempo histórico, presente, pasado, futuro históricos.

This work takes as a point of departure the well-known François Hartog’s thesis on historical time and examines how a dominant “régime of historicity” or historical régime becomes the receptacle of a specific historiographical régime. We shall develop the idea that historiography, understood as social practice based upon the representation of time, reflects the dominant historical régime of which is part. To that purpose we suggest two hypotheses: first, the “historical past” must be considered the historiographical régime or time assumption corresponding to modern régime of historicity; and second, is the “History of the Present” what has questioned most the very notion of “historical past” because of its links with a new régime characterized by “presentism”.Key WordsHistorical régimes, historiographical régimes, historical past, history of the presentResumenEn el presente trabajo se toma como punto de partida la conocida tesis de François Hartog sobre el tiempo histórico para examinar de qué modo el “régimen de historicidad” dominante se convierte en el receptáculo de un determinado “régimen historiográfico”. Desarrollamos la idea de que la historiografía, como práctica social basada en la representación del tiempo, refleja el régimen de historicidad dominante del que forma parte. Para ello sugerimos dos hipótesis: la primera, que el “pasado histórico” es el régimen historiográfico o presupuesto temporal propio de la historiografía correspondiente al régimen de historicidad moderno; y la segunda, que la “historia del presente” es la que ha puesto en cuestión la noción misma de “pasado histórico”, debido a su adscripción a un nuevo régimen de historicidad presentista.Palabras clavesRegímenes de historicidad, regímenes historiográficos, pasado histórico, historia del presente.

Introduction. The work is devoted to the study of the theatrical and dramatic work of O. Ulyashev. It reveals the originality of his dramatic handwriting and some aspects of the movement of national culture in the 1990s. Materials and Methods. The material of the study was the plays by O. Ulyashev. The method of study is comparative. Results and Discussion. O. Ulyashev’s plays are an important milestone in the history of the development of the Komi Theater. His plays, like many other ones of the turn of the XX–XXI centuries, are inherent in the desire for renewal. The artistic originality of his texts, however, determines the actualization of folklore material. The writer’s worldview is close to the high artistic, aesthetic and moral and philosophical potential of oral folk art. It is folklore origins that contribute to his creative quest and the development of his creative aspirations. O. Ulyashev’s works, like many other works of Komi literature of the late XX century about the historical past of the Zyryans, serve to increase and strengthen national identity. Conclusion. The work of the writer O. Ulyashev played an important role in the development of theatrical and dramatic art of the Komi Republic. His plays largely update the Komi drama, saturating it with folklore material, romanticizing the past of the Zyryans.

The research is based on the concept of the historical process as a semiotic system, formulated by B.A. Uspenskii. The article aims to analyse within the framework of this concept the historical and literary works of B.M. Eikhenbaum of the 1930s 1940s, dedicated to the meeting of Lermontov and Belinsky in the prison. Some of the papers discussed here have not been previously studied. The fact that Eikhenbaum frequently referred to that episode and mentioned it in different papers let us assume that it was significant not only from the literary and historical point of view, but it also contained unique significance for the researcher. The article extends the observations made by E.A. Toddes regarding the implicit projection of contemporary events into the historical past that helped Eikhenbaum to overcome prescriptions of the Soviet ideology and literary criticism. The evolution of the history concept in papers of Eikhenbaum was analyzed and the elements of the language, resembling the contemporary epoch, were demonstrated. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that the historic past of the Lermontov studies, carried out by Eikheinbaum, is the double coded semiotic system simultaneously, expressing the literary and historical facts, as well as following the official discourse and containing the unofficial or individual discourse regarding the contemporaneity.Key words: Eikheinbaum, Lermontov, Belinsky, formalism, Soviet literary criticism, history of literature, history, modernity, semiotic system.

The article deals with the historical Russian toponyms corresponding to the aboriginal Lithuanian Markučiai. In the past, this area has changed a number of names, the historical Russian forms of Маркутье and Маркуци have survived to this day. Based on the data of texts of various genre and stylistic attribution, the functioning of both toponyms can be traced during the 2nd half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. The article is an attempt to identify the factors that determined the duality of the historical Russian name. The study showed that the fate of competing toponyms was influenced not only by the real linguistic situation in the Vilna region, but also by the purposeful russification activity of the authorities after the suppression of the Polish uprising of 1863–1864. The forms of the same type of Belarusian oikonyms, Baltic in origin and ascending to Lithuanian personal names, confirm the non-systemic nature of the Vilna toponym Маркутье.

Changes in the representation of the history of cities in Western Siberia in the journal “Siberian Lights” in the period from the beginning of the 20s to the mid 40s of the XX century are considered. These changes are interpreted by analyzing the general contexts of the development of historical local lore in Siberia and the activities of various subjects of the memory policy at both local and state levels. The relevance of the study is due to the increased interest on the part of society and the state in the problems of forming the historical memory of Russians about the national and regional past as one of the foundations of social identities. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that until now the Siberian magazine periodicals of the Soviet era, in particular, “Siberian Lights”, are poorly understood as one of the significant means of forming the historical memory of society about the past of Western Siberia. The composition of the authors of materials on the history of Western Siberian cities is described in the article. The stages of the development of the history representation of West Siberian cities in the publications of the journal are determined, reflecting various, ideologically determined assessments of the historical past of the cities of Western Siberia. It is proved that during the Great Patriotic War, authors of works on the history of Western Siberian cities synthesized both the experience of Siberian ethnographers and their antagonists, pursuing the task of stimulating patriotic upsurge and the necessary social mobilization.

An artistic interpretation of historical facts is quite relevant in the literature and non-fiction of a post-totalitarian society. Prose works on historical themes are valuable and interesting in that they create an illusion for readers to be present in a certain period of historical time, and it is the artistic modeling of events that makes priceless facts of history completely disappear. The historical past is an inexhaustible material that word artists have been referring to for centuries, creating the best examples of fiction. Prose texts of historical subjects are perceived by each next generation in a new way, historical events and phenomena are interpreted from different angles, the activities of famous figures of the past are widely covered. Non-fiction literature is a kind of literature that is on the verge of artistry and documentary. The main non-fiction genres are a diary, autobiography, biography, memoirs, confession, letters, etc. On the one hand, non-fiction literature claims to recognize the author’s subjective truth about him in her texts; on the other hand, only the reader can either, demonstrating full confidence in the author, call this text documentary, or admit the presence of poetry and aesthetics in the work and tilt the scales in the direction of artistry. The material for observation and research of the phenomenon of artistic modeling are works that allow us to trace the most common, in our opinion, models of correlation of historical and artistic consciousness in postmodern literature and non-fiction of a post-totalitarian society.

This book destabilises the customary disciplinary and epistemological oppositions between medieval studies and modern medievalism. It argues that the twinned concepts of “the medieval” and post-medieval “medievalism” are mutually though unevenly constitutive, not just in the contemporary era, but from the medieval period on. Medieval and medievalist culture share similar concerns about the nature of temporality, and the means by which we approach or “touch” the past, whether through textual or material culture, or the conceptual frames through which we approach those artefacts. Those approaches are often affective ones, often structured around love, abjection and discontent. Medieval writers offer powerful models for the ways in which contemporary desire determines the constitution of the past. This desire can not only connect us with the past but can reconnect present readers with the lost history of what we call the medievalism of the medievals. In other words, to come to terms with the history of the medieval is to understand that it already offers us a model of how to relate to the past. The book ranges across literary and historical texts, but is equally attentive to material culture and its problematic witness to the reality of the historical past.

In the Histories, the fourth-century historian Ephorus engages with one of the central aetia of the past: the story of how Apollo founded the oracle in Delphi (F 31b). Ephorus shifts the emphasis from the continuity of archaic time to the more dynamic time of the history of men on earth. In his discussion of the Spartan constitution and its origin (F 149), Ephorus uses aetia to give a nuanced picture of the interplay of continuity and change in human affairs. Callimachus, in the story of Acontius and Cydippe in his Aetia, juxtaposes the reference to the continuity of Acontius’ line with the eventful history of Acontius’ island of Chios, thus raising the question how stable the aetion can actually be. Rather than the aetiological formula, the beauty of the young couple, made immortal in Callimachus’ poetry, guarantees the story’s eternity. In Callimachus’ Hymn to Apollo, aetia are prominent in creating an intense moment of the sacred presence of the god, in which the present moment of the performance is just as much involved as the historical past of the city of Cyrene and the mythical past of Apollo’s deeds on earth. The aetia employed in Apollonius Rhodius’ Argonautica function as hinges between the earlier foundational deeds of the Olympian gods and the new earth-bound time-frame of the Argonauts, which is carefully measured out in terms of the days and nights the Argonauts spend at sea or on land. Overall, however, the aetia of the Argonautica emphasize continuity and eliminate further change, creating a present that is remarkably stable, while being anchored in several layers of the past

A compreensão que a capacidade de aportar conhecimento sobre o passado não é exclusiva dos textos historiográficos proporcionou à literatura um novo estatuto, que lhe assegura pertinência epistemológica para recontar o passado. Neste artigo são analisadas diferentes formas em que o discurso literário configura o tempo histórico. Num primeiro momento, a potencialidade da literatura em rever criticamente os traumas do passado visa mostrar como é necessário que mais escritores se debrucem sobre situações terríveis como a escravidão e a ditadura para que estes traumas sejam passados a limpo. Na segunda parte, versões diferentes de relacionar a literatura com a história são propostas, através de uma leitura dos romances pelo viés da história das mentalidades, da história dos fatos públicos, mas também ao fazer do escritor personagem de ficção. Na última parte, a configuração ficcional do passado que é quase presente permite perceber algumas constantes que estão relacionadas com a contemporaneidade. *** Knowing the past: relations between contemporary Brazilian literature and the writing of history ***The understanding that the ability to bring knowledge about the past is not unique to the historiographical texts provided the literature with a new statute, which assures epistemological relevance to retell the past. In this article we analyze different ways in which literary discourse configures historical time. First, the potential of literature to critically review the traumas of the past seeks to show how it is necessary for more writers to dwell on terrible situations such as slavery and dictatorship so that these traumas are cleared up. In the second part, different versions of relating literature to history are proposed, through a reading of the novels by the bias of the history of mentalities, of the history of public facts, but also by making the writer a fictional character. In the last part, the fictional configuration of the past that is almost present allows one to perceive some constants that are related to contemporaneity.Keywords: Literature and history; Contemporary Brazilian literature; History writing.

The most detailed description of the “Balkan” period is found in the novel by D. Tanasoglo “Uzun Kervan”. In other genres (poetry), the poeticized image of the Balkans as the historical homeland of the Gagauz is presented to a greater extent. The main events of the “Balkan” period in the history of the Gagauzians, reflected in fiction, are: the adoption of Christianity by the Oghuz / Uzes – the ancestors of the Gagauzians, relations with the local population of the Balkans, the struggle against the Ottoman Turks, and the creation of a fictional Gagauz state called Uzi Eyalet. The authors also draw attention to the way in which changes occur in the traditional everyday culture of ancestors of the Gagauz as a result of changing economic-cultural type, and religion. In the Gagauz environment of creative people, there is a unity in the perception of the historical past associated with the presence of the ancestors of the Gagauz people in the Balkans. As a rule (with a few exceptions), the past broadcast by Gagauz writers is largely mythologized: and the writers themselves play a significant role in the process of constructing ethnicity.
