This article considers one of the cases of embodiment of the Boldinsky myth in the Leningrad underground of 1970s. The object of research attention is the poem «Boldinsky Reflections» of Sergey Stratanovsky. The author of the article believes that the given text goes back to N.A. Berdjaev's hypothesis about possible meeting of A.S. Pushkin and Serafim Sarovsky in 1830. The author of research reveals the central conflict of Russian culture - opposition of the secular and spiritual power. Opposition of heroes is strengthened thanks to three latent plots: literary (Walsingham and the Priest), biographic (A.S. Pushkin and metropolitan Filaret), metaliterary (Benedict Sarnov and Vadim Kozhinov). Such structure of the text allows us to speak about the presence of an archetypical plot for Russia, which organizes the paradigm of Russian culture. The author has found out the latent citation from Marcus Aurelius' "Reflections", which allows us, on the one hand, to consider Boldinsky Reflections in a philosophical context and, on the other hand, to speak about the opposition between Russian and European culture.

In the given article, the author offers an interpretation of the work titled Lacedaimonion Politeia, written by the ancient political philosopher Xenophon of Athens. Judging from Xenophon’s sober and open-minded attitude to the regime he researches, the author focuses on the central issue of the treatise, namely, the upbringing of a virtuous or good citizen. This became the cornerstone of Sparta’s success as a polis, and provided it with a fame as a unique political entity praised by all, but copied by none. The author identifies the three stages of the Spartan education given by Xenophon and continues with the practices of its implementation at a mature age. The research makes it clear that the purpose of the laws of Lycurgus, as described by Xenophon, is twofold. On the one hand, the given laws instill respect, obedience, and the virtue of manliness which the lawgiver desired in citizens. On the other hand, the laws create citizens who merely imitate the above-described traits of character and law-abidance, and who are actually more like unmitigated criminals constantly fighting with each other. It is the second type of people—good criminals—who find themselves in power in Sparta, and they are the ones who end up destroying the Spartan state. By providing this diagnosis of the Spartan regime and the laws of Lycurgus, Xenophon attempts to show that handling the problem of the education of good citizens as suggested in Sparta is misguided and requires additional deliberation.

The effectiveness properties, in Faber regions, of the transposed inverse of a given basic set of polynominals, are investigated in the present paper. A certain inevitable normalizing substitution, is first formulated, to be undergone by the given set to ensure the existence of the transposed inverse in the Faber region. The first main result of the present work (Theorem 2.1), on the one hand, provides a lower bound of the class of functions for which the normalized transposed inverse set is effective in the Faber region. On the other hand, the second main result (Theorem 5.2) asserts the fact that the normalized transposed inverse set of a simple set of polynomials, which is effective in a Faber region, should not necessarily be effective there.

Abstract The article at hand is driven by a methodological interest in the opportunities and challenges of applying an automated text mining approach, particularly a sentiment analysis on various tourism blogs at the same time. The study aims to answer the question to what extent advanced computational methods can improve the data acquisition and analysis of unstructured data sets stemming from various blogs and forums. Furthermore, the authors intend to explore to what extent the sentiment analysis is able to objectify the qualitative results identified by an earlier analysis by the authors using content analysis done by thematic coding. For the purpose of the specific tourism research question in this paper a new approach is proposed, which consists of a combination of sentiment analyses, supervised learning, and dimensionality reduction in order to identify terms that strongly load on specific emotions. The contribution indicates on the one hand, that advanced computational methods have their own specific constraints, but on the other hand, are able to provide a richer and deeper analysis following a quantitative approach. Several issues have to be taken into account, such as data protection constraints, the need for data cleaning, such as word stemming, dimension reduction, such as removal of custom stop words, and the development of descent ontologies. On the other hand, the quantitative method also provides, due to its standardised procedure, a less subjective insight in the given content, but is not less time consuming than traditional content analysis.

In 1529 Agrippa von Nettesheim criticized the ‘futility and uncertainty’ of science. Indeed, the triumphant rise of European culture and science has always been accompanied by shadows of dissent. While, on the one hand, the rhapsodic shattering of reason was heavily criticized, on the other hand, equally sharp criticism was raised against the hermetic spirit of universal systems. The accepted authority of scientific knowledge was continually served a Lenten repast, and mighty edifices built on theory have bowed to the weight of doubt, crumbling into ruins of truths. The path which we call ‘progress’ is overlaid with traces of our own actions in the image of Sisyphus in Hades, who is condemned to push a huge boulder uphill. He is forever forced back to the beginning of his task, because of the perfidious nature of the stone.

To help retailers gain consumers’ trust, many studies have investigated antecedents of consumer trust. However, distrust, a concept closely related to trust, has attracted only sporadic research attention. As a result, whether factors that increase consumer trust can eliminate consumer distrust is unclear. To deepen understanding of trust and distrust, this study applies the critical incident technique to identify and compare the antecedents of trust and distrust of Chinese consumers. The results show that the antecedents of distrust differ from those of trust, indicating different formulation mechanisms of both. Therefore, on the one hand, retailers should pay attention to increasing consumer trust, and on the other hand, they should develop marketing activities to reduce consumer distrust.

Some properties of the Polish translation of the animated film Masha and the BearThe paper touches upon the issue of the translation into Polish of the animated film Masha and the Bear. As an audiovisual entity, the animations are characterised by polysemiotics. Therefore, four channels of information transfer were analysed: the verbal-acoustic channel, the verbal-visual channel, the acoustic-non-verbal channel and the visual-non-verbal channel. As a result of the study, it was shown that the animated film Masha and the Bear — as regards the visual-non-verbal and acoustic-non-verbal channels, can be characterised as highly reflecting the Russian culture. What was also observed was the transformation of the verbal-visual channel which — in translation — changes into the verbal-acoustic channel. This transformation resulted in the information excess noticed in translation. The verbal-acoustic channel is characterised, on the one hand, by the neutralisation of intertextual and Soviet elements and, on the other hand, by a low level of the naturalisation of the Polish translation.  Niektóre cechy przekładu filmu animowanego Masza i Niedźwiedź na język polskiArtykuł poświęcony jest tłumaczeniu filmu animowanego Masza i Niedźwiedź na język polski. Animacja, jako twór audiowizualny, charakteryzuje się polisemiotycznością. W związku z tym zostały zbadane cztery kanały przekazu informacji: werbalno-akustyczny, werbalno-wizualny, akustyczno-niewerbalny i wizualno-niewerbalny. Przeprowadzone badanie wykazało, że animacja Masza i Niedźwiedź na płaszczyźnie wizulano-niewerbalnej oraz akustyczno-niewerbalnej w wysokim stopniu cechuje się przynależnością do rosyjskiej kultury. Zaobserwowano transformację kanału werbalno-wizualnego, który w przekładzie zmienia się w kanał werbalno-akustyczny. To przekształcenie skutkowało nadmiarem informacji w tłumaczeniu. Kanał werbalno-akustyczny charakteryzuje się, z jednej strony, neutralizacją elementów intertekstualnych i radzieckich, z drugiej — małym stopniem naturalizacji przekładu, czyli spolszczenia.

The author summarizes the results of his research on this issue as follows:1. Hit on the shoulder, nod, exclamations hey, hello, being called by name all these impressions have the common feature that they all mean a call, a call. Their task is to draw the attention of a given person to an event that is about to take place and to cause him a feeling of expectation of something undetermined, but having an important meaning for him.Thus, a certain state of mind is created in the given person called, which gives the words or gestures addressed to him the character of a call.This state of mind is formed on the one hand from the feeling that these words or gestures mean this particular person, refer directly to him, on the other hand, from a feeling of undefined expectation and a sense of importance, significance (Importanrgefhl).There is a strong associative connection between the mental state of the call and the auditory impression of the pronunciation of one's own name.2. The main rule of the mental process is that the associative path between two mental elements can be traversed in both directions.

Abstract This article challenges a historiographical understanding of corporatism as an appendix of fascist ideology by examining the elaboration and diffusion of corporatist cultures in Britain during the first half of the 20th century. The case study seeks, on the one hand, to highlight the changing nature of corporatism by showing the different forms - fascist and non-fascist - that it took in Britain in the given time period. On the other hand, the article connects British corporatism with the European corporatist movement, as well as with the British constitutional heritage, underlining the close entangling of national and transnational issues.

The article deals with the use of French expressions in the text of F. Dostoevskys Notes from Underground . On the one hand, various semantic nuances of bilingualism and associations with some cultural contexts are revealed. On the other hand, translations and explanations of these expressions given by translators of the novella are analyzed. While lhomme de lа nature et de la vrit is a citation which shows that it is impossible to render French character into Russian culture, aux animaux domestiques carries this idea to the point of absurdity.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.
