The article investigates peculiarities of temporal motifs realization in K. Kalytko’s poetry collection “Torture Chamber. Vineyard. Home”. The concept of time in K. Kalytko’s works manifests itself in the portrayal of the past, present and future (where present stands for the space of anxiety; powerful emotional experience “here-and-now”, even if the source of its experience is already in the past; precariousness of the future). The artistic semiotics of time in K. Kalytko’s works is closely associated with the mythopoetic images which have, in particular, Christian sources. The main motifs, which clustering around the temporal semantics, are the motifs of kin, childhood, old age, traumatic memory, duration, love, death, eternity. The peculiar feature of K. Kalytko’s style is the presence of many tropes (mainly epithets, comparisons, metaphors) based on the poetic comprehension of temporal images.

Background: This article considers the temporal aspects and effects of infrastructure that bridges past, present, and future rather than connecting places or delivering services.  Analysis: Four “moments” of time infrastructure will be considered in the case of a reconstructed heritage wooden bridge: heritage sites that link to the past, undertakings that mark the present, endeavours that project the current society forward into the future, and the forgetful overlooking of infrastructure as a taken-for-granted and abject temporality.  Conclusion and implications: This requires a topological approach, studying “infrastructurality” as heterochronic and as a liminal “super-object” that transcends its normative presence and Euclidean dimensions. Contexte : Cet article examine les aspects et effets temporels des infrastructures qui relient passé, présent et futur plutôt que de relier des lieux ou de fournir des services. Analyse : Quatre « moments » de ces infrastructures temporelles seront considérés par rapport à un pont en bois patrimonial reconstruit : les sites patrimoniaux qui évoquent le passé, les initiatives qui marquent le présent, les efforts qui projettent la société actuelle vers l’avenir, et l’oubli de l’infrastructure car on la considère comme temporalité abjecte qui va de soi. Conclusion et implications : Cette étude requiert une approche topologique où l’on envisagerait l’« infrastructuralité » comme hétérochronique et comme « super-objet » liminal transcendant sa présence normative et ses dimensions euclidiennes.

The majority of people with learning disabilities in the UK live at home with their families, usually with their parents (Mental Health Foundation, 1996) or – more commonly in later life – with one parent, usually their mother. Nowadays, people with learning disabilities live much longer than they did in the past, with the result that there is also an expanding population of elderly parents who are continuing to care for a son or daughter well into old age.

Medical and social progress over the past 50 years has resulted in a large increase in the expectation of life, and this, together with a declining birthrate, has caused an increase in the proportion of old persons in the population. In 1901 less than 5% of the population of England and Wales was aged 65 and over; by 1949 the estimated percentage had increased to 11% and must inevitably increase still further in the future. A result of this is that more and more attention is being given to diseases of old age and in fact a new specialized branch of medicine, geriatrics, seems to have arisen. Heart diseases form by far the largest group of causes of death in old age and in 1949 were the certified cause of death in 37% of the deaths in England and Wales at ages 65 and over (Table 1). Even in the age-group 55-59 heart disease was responsible for 24% of all deaths in 1949.

Abstract This paper provides an overview of current debates and themes in literature relating to place-based stigma, including a reflection on terminology use. Generally, we rely on Loïc Wacquant’s framing of territorial stigma as a feature of advanced marginality. In this paper, drawing on my own research in Toxteth, Liverpool, I offer a critique of the Wacquantian approach, highlighting the limits of the advanced marginality framing of place-based stigma. The paper considers the global reach of placed-based stigma and the temporal aspect of stigma that must be taken into consideration when we consider how stigma is currently applied to communities. A key feature of this paper is the foregrounding of the concepts of ‘core’ and ‘event’ stigma, which have generally been a feature of literature in business and management. I argue that our understanding of how communities become stigmatized can be enhanced by framing place-based stigma in this temporal sense. Understanding how stigma becomes adhered to particular spaces, places and landscapes is necessary if we want to comprehend how this stigma transfers to the communities inhabiting these geographies. This paper suggests that we must look to the past, and to the voices who shape the past, in order to understand the present and to plan for the future.

The article examines the cognitive patterns of the representation of the image of the future of Russia in the French media (Le Monde, L’Express, Le Point, RFI, Libération, Le Nouvel Observateur). The analysis of a corpus of 140 French metaphors, updated in the context of the constitutional reform in Russia in 2020 and performing a predictive function in the process of conceptualizing the future of Russia, is carried out. It is noted that in order to achieve the set goal of the work, it is advisable to use the method of cognitive research of metaphors, united by the target sphere of metaphorical expansion. The results of the analysis of the leading metaphorical models of the image of the future of Russia are presented: “The future of Russia is the past / USSR / old age / decline”, “Russia in the future is an absolute monarchy / limited space / fortified military facility”. It is shown that the image of the future of Russia is formed in the French media exclusively by negative metaphorical word usage. It is concluded that the metaphorical expressions used to describe the constitutional reform in Russia in 2020 are being updated by the French political elites to form the image of Russia as an undemocratic country devoid of a positive future.

This note introduces the selection of poems by the poet Bahia Mahmud Awah presented here. The intention is to raise the spatial aspects that the experience of exile imprints on the poet’s conception of the political role of poetry in other geographic latitudes, and also to note the temporal aspects of the history of the Saharawi people which motivate, in his poetry, an interpretation of the past, the present and the future.

Is, as Hamlet once complained, time out of joint? Have the ways we understand the past and the future—and their relationship to the present—been reordered? The past, it seems, has returned with a vengeance: as aggressive nostalgia, as traumatic memory, or as atavistic origin narratives rooted in nation, race, or tribe. The future, meanwhile, has lost its utopian glamor, with the belief in progress and hope for a better future eroded by fears of ecological collapse. This book argues that the apparently solid moorings of our temporal orientation have collapsed within the span of a generation. To understand this profound cultural crisis, the book reconstructs the rise and fall of what it calls “time regime of modernity” that underpins notions of modernization and progress, a shared understanding that is now under threat. It assesses the deep change in the temporality of modern Western culture as it relates to our historical experience, historical theory, and our life-world of shared experience, explaining what we have both gained and lost during this profound transformation.

ABSTRACTA survey of the major literature of the Western World from 7 B.C. to 1900 A.D. shows that the number of elderly males portrayed was about three times that of elderly females. While certain factors such as the gender of the authors or the themes of the works, may have affected this proportion, the authors of this study believe that the much larger proportion of elderly males in the literature surveyed reflects the make-up of past societies closely enough to support Santene's contention that old age was not a female world in the past and may not be a female world everywhere in the present or in the future.
