The most common approach when analyzing literary antisemitism is to explore the “image of the Jew” in literary texts. At a closer look, this focus entails several problems, ranging from a neglect of other anti-Semitic elements in the text, to the risk that this method results in reproducing these anti-Semitic patterns of thought. By questioning this method, the focus shifts to other levels in the literary texts, which may reveal an anti-Semitic “sub-text” although the imagery seems harmless. What these literary levels are and how they interact is exemplified by two examples from Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrocks. The results shed new light on his Nobel prize-winning first novel.

Oriented Approach

This article examines the strategies followed by Howard Goldblatt, the official translator of Mo Yan while translating his works from Chinese into English. Mo Yan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012 and critics argued that it was Goldblatt’s translation that was mainly responsible for Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Though Mo Yan’s works in translation are available in various languages, it is Goldblatt’s version that has become most popular. Therefore, from the perspective of Translation Studies, it would be interesting to identify the techniques used by Goldblatt that make his translations so special. The present paper compares titles, structure, and culture-specific expressions in the original and its English translation to identify the strategies followed by Howard Goldblatt in translating Chinese literary texts.

Purpose of the Article. Publication of new approaches in the mode of work on literary texts to create concepts for future performances. The methodology is used in the application of analytical, empirical, art history, formal-analytical and system-analytical methods in the analysis of theoretical works and established features of artistic phenomena. The scientific novelty of the study is an attempt to use the term "concept of performance" to denote a specific transition from the analysis of literary texts to the search for the parameters of the idea, which ends with the creation of a new version of the play by adapting or updating. This is a conditional boundary between the pre-rehearsal and rehearsal periods when the director proceeds to test the concepts in practice during rehearsals. Identifying the influence of post-dramatic aesthetics on the modern theatrical process of Ukraine in the use of documentary texts to create a figurative system of performance, outlining the characteristics of post-dramatic theater in modern stage readings. Conclusions. The director's work on the idea of ​​the future play is a unique process that is constantly in the spotlight of researchers of performing arts. From the beginning of the XXI century. we can observe a gradual change of the classical theatrical paradigm and the influence of the aesthetics of post-dramatic theater on the theatrical process in Ukraine. Gone are the days when the drama was considered the unalterable basis of a future play, and the theater was only an illustrator of literature. Today, the director is a full-fledged author of the play, embodies on stage his very subjective understanding of dramatic texts, given their relevance to the problems of modern life. The article attempts to identify and outline new trends in the approach to creating the concept of performance is based on analysis and creative rethinking of literary texts, to return this term to the theatrical lexicon for the most meaningful transfer of the specifics of the process of birth and finding ways to implement it with the team theater.

Alexander Fleming

Seventy years ago, Sir Alexander Fleming was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain for “the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases”. Fleming was born and grew up in the small village of Darvel in Ayrshire, Scotland. His work, as a famous son of Scotland, is commemorated on a bank note. Ironically, this also demonstrates how much we have come to undervalue and take antibiotics for granted, as it is the lowest denomination note in the currency - the £5 note.

Abstract In challenging the assumption of autistic social uninterest, Jaswal & Akhtar have opened the door to scrutinizing similar unexamined assumptions embedded in other literatures, such as those on children's typically developing behaviors regarding others’ minds and morals. Extending skeptical analysis to other areas may reveal new approaches for evaluating competing claims regarding social interest in autistic individuals.
