scholarly journals IRONIC ΗRYHIR TIUTIUNNYK (SOME OBSERVATIONS)

Author(s):  
Larysa Moroz

One of the most dramatic writers of the 2nd half of the 20th century Hryhir Tiutiunnyk was remembered by all his contemporaries who worked in the cultural sphere as a person endowed with a keen sense of humor, rare wit, and unique artistry (in various genres, both dramatic and comedic). This paper is a reflection on how in the works by Hryhir Tiutiunnyk, killed by the totalitarian system in 1980, the well-known dominants of “love and pain” are deepened by irony, in all the immensity of its shades and meanings. The writer did not use any words from the political lexicon but instead unmasked the totalitarian system by depicting (mostly through apt expressions and details) the behavior and destinies of people oppressed or destroyed by it. His irony is mild, lenient, or even somewhat sympathetic. In the stories reviewed in the paper, namely “Screw”, “Niura”, “The Feast in Memory of Markiian”, “The Son Has Arrived”, the mentioned nuances of the means of irony are used in rather complex, sometimes weird combinations (“The Literate”, “Laughter”), revealing the ardent indifference of the author who tried (sometimes successfully) to pretend to be an outsider – an unworried or even superior narrator. In such works as “The Feast in Memory of Markiian” and “Medal”, the death itself or its obvious approach causes the appearance of tragicomic elements. However, in the latter, the tragic irony is not related to the character, but to the props of the stage action, in which the people resembling mannequins represent the village and district authorities and pretend to award a starving man as “the best animal breeder”. Some of Hryhir Tiutiunnyk’s characters, as in the short story “Oddity” and the story “My Saturday”, rise to a sarcastic mockery of oppressors: the specificity of the Soviet-communist officials lies in the fact that they don’t even realize the absurdity of their activities, which lack any humanistic principles. The literary world of the writer, despite its seeming simplicity, is extremely complex in terms of inner subtleties of thoughts, emotions, and conflicts.

Abstract The Wukan Incident attracted extensive attention both in China and around the world, and has been interpreted from many different perspectives. In both the media and academia, the focus has very much been on the temporal level of the Incident. The political and legal dimensions, as well as the implications of the Incident in terms of human rights have all been pored over. However, what all of these discussions have overlooked is the role played by religious force during the Incident. The village of Wukan has a history of over four hundred years, and is deeply influenced by the religious beliefs of its people. Within both the system of religious beliefs and in everyday life in the village, the divine immortal Zhenxiu Xianweng and the religious rite of casting shengbei have a powerful influence. In times of peace, Xianweng and casting shengbei work to bestow good fortune, wealth and longevity on both the village itself, and the individuals who live there. During the Wukan Incident, they had a harmonizing influence, and helped to unify and protect the people. Looking at the specific roles played by religion throughout the Wukan Incident will not only enable us to develop a more meaningful understanding of the cultural nature and the complexity of the Incident itself, it will also enrich our understanding, on a divine level, of innovations in social management.

Viewed from the higher echelons of government in the new nations, the rural leader is an insignificant individual who goes about managing his local affairs and carrying out—with varying degrees of success—the policies and hopes of the government. Viewed from below, from the inner recesses of the village, the leader is a man of authority; a man who has used wealth, heredity, or personal magnetism to gain a position of influence. As seen by nation builders and development experts, the rural leader is tacitly pointed to as the key to success. It is he who can mobilise the people. It is through him that more energy will be expended, more muscles used, and more attitudes changed. Conversely, it is the leader's lack of initiative that will entrench the status quo and doom the modernisation schemes before they begin.

This paper is about the process of election during democracy periode in Indonesia. The problem that usually accured during the election was the involvement of the elites in the process of election. Some elites, both from the political parties and from the village, usually interfering the process. The case in Gampeng shows that all elements have been working together in successing the process of election. Reflecting from the election process in Gampeng, the transition process towards more democratic government in Indonesia could be happen inpeace and harmony if there was honesty inside the political elites. They should more appreciate the voice from the people they were represented, instead of fighting for their own needs.

The article analyses traditions and legends of the village of Kubachi, Dakhadaevsky district, Republic of Dagestan, recorded by the outstanding Caucasian scholar of the 20th century, ethnographer E. M. Shilling during folklore expeditions in Dagestan and published in his famous book «Kubachins and their culture. Historical and ethnographic studies» (Moscow; Leningrad, 1949). The cycle of traditions about the Kubachi and the Kubachins in the records of E. M. Shilling is an invaluable source of specific data related to the past of the people, connected with the life, history, way of life, customs and psychology of the Kubachins.

Ali Shariati was a Muslim reformer who laid much of the intellectualgroundwork for the Iranian revolution of 1979. His inspiring speechesand written works aroused the people, particularly the students, to thestate, where they were easily mobilized by Khomeini and his co-workers.Killed by the Shah’s agents in London in 1977, he is still remembered as agreat martyr to their cause. His ideas on the nature of Islam are ofinterest to us today.Ali Shariati was born in 1933 in the village of Mazinan near Sabzawarin Khurasan, Iran. He came from a family whose members were knownfor their scholarship, knowledge, and righteousness. He attended theTeacher’s Training School, and taught in high school for some yearsbefore pursuing graduate work in Europe. He was also active in hisfather’s Center for the Propagation of Islamic Truth.Shariati’s views were greatly influenced by his learned father who wasfortunate enough to acquire a personal library of nearly two thousandbooks. He was also influenced by the political events in Iran, especiallyduring Dr. Muhammad Mosaddeq’s premiership, and by the variousunderground movements after the fall of Mossadeq in 1953.Particularly important was the Muslim Socialist Movement founded inthe early 1940’s in Tehran. This group believed in Islamic ideals butemphasized the socialistic tendencies of its economic system. In themanner of Amir Ali, the author of Spirit of Islam, Shariati wanted toemulate the lives and ideas of early Muslims whom he admired. He oftenreferred to Prophet Muhammad, Abu Dhar al-Ghaffari, Ali, Husayn,and others as men who ought to be followed as examples.In his formative years, he was influenced by many people includingFrantz Fanon, al-Afghani, Taleqani, and Muhammad Iqbal. In myopinion, Shariati was more influenced by Iqbal than any other’ scholar,whether in the East or the West. I have pointed out this influence in mybook, Ideological Revolution in the Muslim World ...

Abstract This paper attempts to look beyond the currently ideologically-charged interpretations of the turning point during the Wukan Incident and instead seeks to trace its real causes. Soon after the top-level authorities stepped in to deal with the Incident, we quickly witnessed the rapid process of turning the Incident around, set in motion by five types of measures/mechanisms. Firstly, their direct involvement, breaking up the immediate standoff between the local government and the villagers. Secondly, determining that the Incident was, by nature, about interests, thus dispelling the political nature of the Incident. Thirdly, positioning themselves on the side of the people, thus easing the contentious nature of the Incident. Fourthly, adopting a combination of both leniency and stringency to dispel confrontational sentiment amongst the organizers. Finally, releasing the detained villagers and returning the body of Xue Jinbo, relieving the blanket of grief that had enveloped the village during the contention. These measures were in keeping with the belief of the organizers that the top-level authorities were both more willing than the local government to solve their problems, and more able. This paper opens a new avenue for beginning to develop our understanding of government behavior during contentious politics. It is also an attempt to make up for the present ‘omission of the state,’ which is one of the weaknesses of existing research on contentious politics in reform-era China
