Historical Perspective The first cadaver dissection in India in the 19th century after millennia of social prejudices took place in the recently established Calcutta Medical College in 1835, the first medical college in Asia imparting western medical education to British, Anglo Indians and Indians in the empire.  The first scientific approach to medical sciences commenced following this landmark event and set the trend for future liberal attitudes in society and contributed to the Bengal Renaissance of the 19th century. This is a fictional account of the day when it happened. Only the characters and the fact that the dissection occurred are real.

The article describes a problem of the reception of the shape of Leo Tolstoy by the French writer E.-M. de Vogüé (1848–1910), whose book “Russian Novel” (“Le roman russe”) (1886) never fully been translated into the Russian language, the influence of “neomisticism” and his interpretation of cultural situation in Europe at the end of the 19th century on the interpretation of the personality and creativity of the great Russian writer, revealed the ambiguity and contradictoriness of the assessment, which gives Vogüé to Tolstoy’s worldview.

This article examines the conjugation of discursive formations in the nine books of fables by I. A. Krylov as structural elements of the final design of the author. This study mainly analyzes the texts related to the vertical or celestial sphere of the fable world. Since spherical segmentation in a fable is constitutive due to a number of reasons: a significant difference in approaches to reconstructing the value order; sacralization of the heavenly sphere; a shift in the logic of events, predetermined by mythological and religious views of a person; as well as the folklore tradition — the analysis of texts through it is justified and productive. The purpose of this article is to identify and describe the discursiveness as one of the meaning-generating elements of Krylov’s nine books of fables, correlated with his axiology and worldview. This allows recording shifts in the architectonics of Krylov’s fables to indicate his connections with the spiritual dynamics of the literary life in Russia and Europe in the first half of the 19th century, as well as to more clearly clarify his place in the transition from the traditionalist phase of literature to the individual-creative phase. The authors prove their conclusions including more than two dozen fables by I. A. Krylov in this article’s text. The contemporary academic apparatus gives their analysis a new scale and scope of vision regarding the entire creative heritage of the great Russian fabulist. This apparatus helps in reconstructing the complexity and diversity of the so-called broad educational foundations of the experience of the aged poet, who survived three literary generations that followed him and was inspired by their art searches.

scholarly journals Swahili Terminology in the Context of the Development of the Versification Theory and “Dispute about Poetry”

The article discusses the problem of the development of a scientific approach and Swahili terminology by national Swahili literary science in the context of the emergence of new Swahili poetry in the 1970s against the background of prevailing traditional genres, as well as the comprehension, interpretation and application of this terminology by scientists. Born at the end of the 19th century among European missionaries and scholars, the theory of Swahili versification continued to develop in European-language works until the 1950s when the first critical essay on Swahili versification by the traditional poet Amri Abedi appeared. The emergence of new Swahili poetry in the mid-1970s against the background of traditional genres not only produced the well-known mgogoro wa ushairi (dispute about poetry), but also required the comprehension of poetry itself and Swahili literature as a whole. An important role in this process was the priority of developing a unified scientific approach, as well as Swahili terminology. The emergence of a new Swahili-language poetry embodied in the works of Kezilahabi, Mulokozi, Kahigi and others, from the very beginning posed the task of naming this kind of poetry. The article focuses on the unsettled nature of certain Swahili poetry terms denoting new, modernist, Swahili poetry, a reflection of which is shown by the evident heterogeneity of their use in the studies of literary Swahili scholars of the 2000–2010s.

The Impact

New religious anthropology is defined as an aggregate of doctrines and practices that postulated the existence of a particular arrangement of the human being, distinctive from what was recognized as consistent with the scientific approach of the latter half of the 19th century, as well as the human capacity to acquire superhuman powers. The article is focused on the impact of scientific concepts and ideas on the doctrines of new religious anthropology. It reveals that the key role in the formation of new religious anthropology was played by the processes that determined the development of science, such as institutionalization, specialization and mediatization of scientific knowledge. The article suggests a heuristic typology of new religious anthropology, distinguishing Christian, Scientific, Orientalist and Occult types. New religious anthropology is viewed as a means of overcoming the conflict between the science and the religion that was typical for the discourse of the latter half of the 19th century.

In this paper, we analyse features of the grammatical descriptions in Manchu grammar books from the Qing Dynasty. Manchu grammar books exemplify how Chinese scholars gave Chinese names to grammatical concepts in Manchu such as case, conjugation, and derivation which exist in agglutinating languages but not in isolating languages. A thorough examination reveals that Chinese scholarly understanding of Manchu grammar at the time had attained a high degree of sophistication. We conclude that the reason they did not apply modern grammatical concepts until the end of the 19th century was not a lack of ability but because the object of their grammatical descriptions was Chinese, a typical isolating language.
