The aim of this present article is to examine Robert Frost’s poetical theme and its values which explain the voice of Nature and also to highlight the treatment of Nature in some of his selected Poems. Frost is a famous American Poet and his poems are mostly autobiographical in subject. During this period, when modern poetry is becoming more complex, Frost gets success using his poetic style with refined and simple language. He has been mostly influenced by the environment around him while composing his masterpieces. He uses different phrases and thrill in poetry. His central theme doesn’t concentrate on the typical rural life but on the dramatic conflict happening in the natural world. He expresses deep love and sympathy towards Nature and utilizes it to express his viewpoint and to make his verse fascinating. He thinks Nature is not only the source of pleasure, but also an inspiration for human wisdom. His poems contain symbolism, hidden meanings, sounds, rhyme, meter, metaphors and more.

The Cost

In the present article, I locate an implicit environmentalism JoãoGuimarães Rosa’s writing from the 1950s and 1960s. This sensibility is easy tomiss, in part because it transposes political debates on damage inflicted in thename of development and progress onto the affective-ethical plane; however, itdoes so in a way that resists sentimentality or projecting a misplaced innocenceonto the non-human world. Focusing on emotional relationships between humansand non-humans, I read “As margens da alegria” and “Os cimos” as expressingan eco-critical discourse that was already latent in Grande sertão: veredas.Recasting the natural world as a site of both unfathomable otherness and relationsof tenderness, Guimarães Rosa presents the emotional hold that nature has onhumans and the cost of cleaving oneself from it—a cost that includes diminishingthe human capacity for delight, wonder, and eros.

Peter Stein Larsen: “Danish Identity in Modern Poetry”The article examines how Danish identity has been expressed in poetry. Since the 1960s, Danish poetry has had a tradition of a critical focus on national identity. This tradition of ‘interaction poetry’ has a polyphonic enunciation, a style influenced by spoken language and an ironic perspective on Danish identity. The tradition is distinct from the dominant symbolist and modernist tradition, where one can observe a monological enunciation, a high poetic style and an international perspective. Aspecial feature of the tradition of a critical focus on national identity is its ability to express an implied utopia of openness, empathy, equality and solidarity, despite the fact that the poems are ironic about Danish xenophobia, narrowness, pettiness, bureaucracy and lack of engagement in the world. The article investigates a number of poetry collections by Klaus Rifbjerg, Benny Andersen, Marianne Larsen, Henrik Nordbrandt, Maja Lee Langvad and Eva Tind Kristensen.

The Voice

A notable feature of the use of choral voices in cinema is the attenuation of language; singers hum, vocalise, and sing in invented or dead languages. Such an approach applies across genres and sees choruses used in two related ways: as evocations of human and inhuman collectives, and as celebrants of spectacle and narrative resolution. I argue that this approach is dictated by the particular implication of human agency that the voice, as opposed to the musical instrument, promotes. I sketch the ontological properties of choral voices in cinema and analyse Lady in the Lake (Robert Montgomery, 1947). As well as being a singular experiment in first-person camera, the film is significant for its a cappella score, the only one of its kind in classical cinema, motivated, I argue, by the film’s distinct narrative strategy.

The Difference ◽  
The Voice

The inherence of textuality and meaning in the relation of the voice and the reading in the lyrical discourse appears with a special intensity. In the romantic poetry the materialisation of language into pure signals is presented as the threat of the speech with the termination of the co-existence of writing and voicing. The modern poetry tries to bridge this fracture, makes huge efforts for the co-operation between message and channels of the transmission. The echo is that romantic motif and rhyme technical method, which first brings to scene the difference between voice and speaker. It makes the words hearable in such a manner that their direct source is already not the subject of the language. For example E. A. Poe’s poem (The Raven) implements a „materializing” process, consequently the immateriality of the memory may be incarnated in the voice of speaker, and in the heard and loudly repeated pronoun („nevermore”). This metamorphosis manifests the hidden, authentic meaningful capability of language, that was considered until then as only a denoting-semiotic structure. This way the romanticism ties the signs of the paper sheet and their sounding to the immateriality of human voice and seems to have been unavoidable until our days as regards the poetic existence of language.

The Voice

The present article will analyze the voice of the narrator from the rhizomatic figure (Deleuze and Guattari) to determine its non-place in the construction of narrative scenes in the new performative forms of literary expression. Therefore, this condition will be reviewed from two Benjaminian notions, the allegory and the quotation to determine that the idea of the body is -centrally concentrated in L. Illuminated- a correlation between language and subject: the disappearance of the subject is the disappearance of his / her language, epistemological symmetry that gives rise in Chilean narrative to a performative writing.

The present article focuses on the technique and art of the so-called exegesis, the traditional interpretation of the kalophonic piece Ἀπόλαυε τῶν θαυμάτων τὰς ἰάσεις – Enjoy, seing the miraculous healings, in honor of St Demetrios, by St John Koukouzeles, in the first authentic mode. It is based on the manuscripts Zakynthos 7, Metochion Panagiou Taphou 728, and three Anthologia from the Music School of the Putna Monastery, and highlights several exegetical procedures through microsyntactical and generative analyses of chosen passages of the piece. The profile of the kalophonic melody revealed through the slow exegesis is mainly characterized by stepwise up-and-down movements of the voice around and between the structural notes, with few skips only, and in a perfect balance with the poetical text, which emerges for the singer and the listener syllable by syllable, carried on a continuous melodic flow, a sort of Byzantine ‘unendliche Melodie’.

Ecological Problems

Джон Лютер Адамс, обладатель Пулитцеровской премии 2013 года (за оркестровую композицию «Become Ocean»), своим творчеством привлекает внимание к проблемам исчезающей дикой природы. Порой его даже называют «зеленым композитором», поскольку большинство его произведений прямо или косвенно отображают процессы, происходящие в природе. Какие бы формы реализации своих творческих замыслов он ни выбирал - светозвуковые инсталляции, камерные пьесы для исполнения на открытом воздухе, крупные симфонические полотна,- практически всюду в них прослеживается озабоченность автора состоянием современной окружающей среды. В настоящей статье дается обзор основных сочинений Адамса и анализируется причина их сравнительно малой известности среди отечественной аудитории. John Luther Adams, the 2013 Pulitzer-prize winner (awarded for the orchestral composition Become Ocean), in his works attracts attention to ecological problems of the disappearing wilderness. Sometimes he is even called a “green composer”: most of his works directly or indirectly address worrisome tendencies regarding the natural world. No matter which type of creative form he uses to express himself - be it sound-light installations, chamber pieces for the outdoors or huge symphonic narrations - basically everywhere his concern with the worldwide ecological status quo can be noted. In the present article a review of his main compositions can be found along with an analysis of the reasons behind their low popularity among the Russian audience.

This article was written to provide an overview of recovery in Gamblers Anonymous (GA). How GA's approach reflects the distinctive needs of compulsive gamblers is a central theme. GA is a mutual aid organization modeled upon Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), though differing in some ways from that organization. One notable feature of GA is its emphasis on patience in the recovery process, reflected even in its approach to the 12 Steps, which are "worked" at a slow pace for this reason. Another feature that distinguishes GA is a seemingly more rigorous approach to avoiding potential triggers, notably gambling establishments. Whereas AA leaves it up to the individual to decide whether or not it is safe to enter establishments where alcohol is served, GA's official stand on such questions is uncompromising: members should not enter, or even go near, gambling establishments. Reasons for these differences are discussed.
