It seemed logical to discuss thealimentary practices within the framework of everyday life studies, moved to the forefront of literary scholarship by theanthropological turn in the humanities. Enhanced by semiotic approach, this perspective enables one to understand foodproducts and consumption manners as performing a variety of functions in each play.

Abstract The essay sets out to explore the functions of food discourse in the plays Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov and Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley. Based on the critically established continuity between the two plays, the essay looks at the ways the dramatists capitalize on food imagery to achieve their artistic goals. It seemed logical to discuss the alimentary practices within the framework of everyday life studies (Edmund Husserl, Alfred Schütz, Fernand Braudel, Bernhard Waldenfels and others), moved to the forefront of literary scholarship by the anthropological turn in the humanities. Enhanced by a semiotic approach, this perspective enables one to understand food products and consumption manners as performing a variety of functions in each play. Most obviously, they are instrumental in creating the illusion of “everydayness” vital for new drama. Then, for Chekhov, food comes to epitomize the spiritless materiality of contemporary life, while in Henley’s play it is predominantly used, in accordance with the play’s feminist agenda, as a grotesque substitute for the lack of human affection. Relying upon the fundamental cultural distinction between everyday and non-everyday makes it possible to compare representations of festive occasions in the two plays seen through the gastronomical lens of “eating together.” Despite substantial differences, the emphases on alimentary practices in the plays serve to realize the inexhaustible dramatic potential inherent in the minutiae of quotidian life.

The article deals with two different approaches to training actors. One of them is Stanislavski’s system, and the other is Meyerhold’s biomechanics. Konstantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko are reformers of the Russian theater. As the Art Theater founders, they understood that the emergence of a new drama would require a completely different approach to working with actors and a different design of the stage space. With regard to new performances, it became possible to pose critical social questions related to everyday life before the viewer. Therefore, it was logical that the director's profession became very important. Working on his system, Stanislavski paid great attention to the need for an actor’s comprehensive development. Many wonderful actors who attended his acting school were among the students of this great theater director. Vsevolod Meyerhold was one of them. However, the latter chose his direction and began to engage in staging performances actively and search for new means of expression, having come to an absolute convention on the stage. Meyerhold created his method of working with an actor, known as biomechanics, in the theatrical environment. The principle of this approach is the opposite of Stanislavski's system. With all the difference in views on the theater, in the early stages of Meyerhold's independent practice, Konstantin Stanislavski offered him the opportunity to cooperate, which led Vsevolod Meyerhold to the Studio on Povarskaya Street in Moscow. Evgeny Vakhtangov was another student of Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko. At the request of Stanislavski, Vakhtangov was engaged in educational work in the studio of Moscow Art Theatre. Unlike Meyerhold, he thoroughly mastered the system and then created his theatrical direction called fantastic realism. Vakhtangov's legacy was preserved thanks to the activities of his students, among whom was Boris Zakhava. He turned to Meyerhold for help and spent several seasons with the master, gaining invaluable experience, including revealing the features of biomechanics in practice. Boris Zakhava remained faithful to Vakhtangov’s principles and continued his teacher’s work at the Shchukin Theater Institute.

The article explores how regimes of documentation, quantification, evidence, and accountability have come to shape encounters between program implementers, researchers, young people, and caregivers in one locality in northeastern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Rather than simply critiquing the overemphasis on counting and accounting in global health, I examine the effects of these processes on the provision of services to young people and families. For those whose lives had been systematically excluded from view, processes of form filling could in fact be construed as services in themselves. Further, encounters structured around form filling could work to facilitate other modes of engagement, centered on the construction of forms of recognition, reciprocity, and obligation, and mediated by complex networks of patronage and dependence. Drawing on these findings, the article describes how local histories and contemporary life experiences can shape the ways in which technologies of global health are taken up, and their effects on everyday life.

The article makes an attempt to analyze some selected plays of Mikhail Ugarov, the founder of the documentary Teatr.doc and the New Drama movement (“The Newspaper ‘Russian Invalid’ Dated July 18” and “The Death of Ilya Ilyich”). Although these plays were written in the so called «pre-doc» period and seem to be entirely different with respect to style and content from verbatim and New Drama aesthetics, they express Ugarov’s most important views on dramatic and theatre art formulated later. In these texts one can find philosophical ideas which subsequently formed the basis of documentary and modern dramatic theory. The author concludes that Ugarov’s early plays have mainly a metaliterary character and can be analyzed as an artistic manifesto in which the playwright elaborates the following ideas: negation of classical drama features (composition, action, character); the horizontal structure of the literary work; “zero-position”; cancellation of an event; rejection of grand narratives; rejection of the author’s will and self-expression; negating art as an entertainment; the documentary approach (attention to the details of everyday life). The author indicates that there is a certain contradiction in Ugarov’s doctrine – on the one hand, he admitted the primacy of the dramatic text over the director, on the other hand, - along with his work as a director and a teacher in the Teatr. doc, he ceased to write plays (after “The Death of Ilya Ilyich” Ugarov wrote only a remake-play, “The Masquerade”, in 2013). During this period he created mostly scenarios based on verbatim material. Therefore, the principle of a traditional dramatic work serving as basis for the theatre performance was being deconstructed, which makes it reasonable to relate the theatre aesthetics of Mikhail Ugarov to the postdramatic paradigm.

The 19Th Century

Emotions have a political dimension in that judgments regarding when and how emotion should be felt and shown are interpreted in the interests of regulating the organization and functioning of social groups. This article argues that claims to authenticity and legitimacy of one's self-identity or group identity are at stake in the everyday politics of emotion. A brief discussion of the study of sex differences in the 19th century illustrates how emotion politics can saturate even scientific inquiry. Three ways in which there is a political dimension to socially appropriate emotion in contemporary life are then discussed: (a) Is the emotion the “wrong” emotion for the situation? (b) How are competing standards for emotional experience and expression managed? and (c) What constitutes the boundary between “too much” and “too little” emotion? The author concludes by considering the relevance of emotion politics to research on emotion.

The current century has witnessed a revolution in different fields which required some legal rules to be reformulated to adapt with the volume of challenges imposed by the contemporary life on marriage life in general, on the children, which are the most important thing that may result from marriage, and on the importance of caring for their needs. As God has divided the parents’ duties in caring for their children throughout the stages of their liv.es. He laid upon the mother the responsibility of caring for children starting from pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding until infancy. While He, especially, assigned the father the responsibility of what comes after. But sometimes a child may lose one or both parents; and here the question arises about who shall take custody and what is the period required to satisfy that right. Article (57) of Personal Status Law No. (188) for the year 1959 has answered this question with its nine clauses and confirmed the necessity of caring for the child’s best interest and prioritizing it over the parents’ rights. However, the Iraqi Parliament has adopted an amendment of this Article in its latest proposals under the pretext of being in line with changes of everyday life with the assurance of applying the spirit of Islamic Law. It discussed the transmission of the child’s custody from the mother to the father after the age of seven in opposition to the current law that grants the mother this right until the child turns fifteen years of age; it also stipulated that the mother shall not get married in order to attain custody over the child which is regarded as a Statutory Offence represented in forcing the mother not to get married during which she holds custody over the child. Meanwhile, it did not stipulate over the father abstinence from marriage in order to attain custody over his children. The amendments have also showcased the entitlement of the grandfather’s right in custody rather than the mother in case the father died or didn’t fulfill the conditions of custody. By doing so, the rule would deprive the mother from her child upon turning seven years of age without attention being paid to the subsequential feeling of instability such decision causes to the child. The parliament should have tried to balance between the child’s right of maternal tenderness or paternal security. This is the aim of our research which will shed light on this subject in two scopes, the first of which focuses on educating the people of the right of custody and its period, and the second of which is dedicated to discussion of amendments and making proper recommendation.

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.
