In my work, i examine the collection of short stories titled Beteg lelkek by Dezső Kosztolányi, published in 1912; searching for proof for my theory, in which i propose that Beteg lelkek is the result of Kosztolányi’s conscious and thorough composition of the book. Based on the results of the literature fundamentally connected to the topic, on the one hand the importance of colours as symbols will be revised in some short stories, on the other hand, the seven short stories of the collection will be examined focusing on the topic of sickness regarding as the central theme. During my work, besides examining the history and theory of literature, i also use some writings of cultural history and psychology, connected to the matter; this method is requested by the title as well as by the topic of the short stories that give the substance of the collection. In some chapters, i also mention the results of the philology researches in connection to the oeuvre of Kosztolányi, and i try to focus on the challenges raised by the examination and complexity of the sources in connection with Kosztolányi.

O objetivo desse artigo é discutir, à luz da história cultural, elementos relevantes para a construção de uma operação historiográfica, como a metodologia, a escolha e o uso das fontes, assim como a sua respectiva materialidade. Trata-se de um processo que se consolida, de um lado, na escrita de uma narrativa autoral e, de outro, na aproximação com os demais estudos do campo científico. De modo específico, pretende-se estabelecer um diálogo entre os discursos teóricos e metodológicos com a pesquisa desenvolvida, no qual realizo o levantamento e análise das práticas discursivas e representações sociais de infância e de suas instituições afins (como famílias, espaços escolares e médicos, por exemplo), nas páginas da revista Pais & Filhos.Between documents and representations: reflections on the historiographical operation in the Pais & Filhos magazine. This present paper aims to discuss the prominent issues for the historiographical operation in the context of cultural history, as the methodology, the choice and use of sources and their respective materiality. On the one hand, this process is consolidated in writing an authorial narrative and the other hand it is marked by the necessary approximation with other studies the scientific field. In a specific way, the goal is to relate the theoretical and methodological discourse to the research that I have developed, in which I realize the analysis of the discursive practices and social representations of childhood and its related institutions (such as families, school spaces and doctors, for example), the pages of the publication entitled Pais & Filhos (Parents & Children). Keywords: Historiographical operation; Cultural history; Pais & Filhos Magazine; Education.

Reification, a central theme in radical social/political theory from the 1920s onward, has started falling out of fashion since the 1970s, a period when a number of crucial alterations in the composition of capital and labour start taking place, for example, the tendential hegemony of immaterial/biopolitical labour. The main goal of this article is to discuss reification in light of contemporary changes in the shape of capitalism such as the above. After discussing the relation between reification, alienation and commodity fetishism, I highlight, largely following Hardt and Negri, how reification under the hegemony of immaterial/biopolitical production is, on the one hand, intensified and, on the other hand, (potentially) easier to diagnose, diminish or overcome, due to the increasing emergence of the common as a social relation antagonistic to capital. The article concludes with a note on Wittgenstein and the critique of reification of the symbolic (language) and the ‘inner’ (affects) as the new extended terrain of struggle.

The article discusses the modification of the “estate topos” of Russian sym- bolism in Andrei Bely’s memoir prose. The estates Shakhmatovo, Dedovo, Serebrianyj Kolodez played a key role in the cultural history of Russian symbolism. The peculiarity of Bely’s “estate text”, on the one hand, is that he found an original neo-mythological mode in the image of these estates, on the other hand, gave them heterotopic properties. The article shows how the tonality of his memoirs about Alexander Blok changes from the first edition in journal “Notes of Dreamers” (1922) to the last part of his memorial trilogy “The Beginning of the Century” (1932). If in the first version “Shakhmatovo” appears in neo-mythological meaning and a number of significant symbolic universals are realized, then in the latter version this way of representing the estate is practically erased. The image of Alexander Blok as a spiritual and symbolic center of estate cul- ture is changing: if originally he had the folklore features of Ivan Tsarevich, the ideal symbolist poet on a background of nature, and his wife was Tsarevna, the embodiment of Sophia the Wisdom of God, then later Blok appears as a Lord, carried away only by the issues of managing the estate, and his wife gets the features of an ordinary woman. The estate Serebrianyj Kolodez appears as a heterotopic space, and the features of the estate Dedovo are recognizable in the novel “The Silver Dove”.

In the four short stories published in the volume Dwaalstories, Eugène Marais achieves a very charming combination of fantasy and ideological coding. The fantasy seems, on the one hand, to camouflage the possible effects of certain ideological stances in the stories and also to predispose a naïve reading, while the more submerged ideological coding, on the other hand, invites closer inspection, which will uncover the real clout of the message. Traditionally, fables recount the victory of the weak over the powerful due to the intervention of some magical outside force. In these African fables this convention is employed to demonstrate the successful undermining of the despotic use of power which causes the innocent to suffer. Assisted by forces of magic residing in Nature, the weak react against injustice, so rectifying the social imbalances and counteracting the dangers caused by the inhumane use of group or institutional force. The purpose of this article is to describe the way in which fantasy and ideology are intercoded in Marais’s Dwaalstories.

Reflecting on the state of Ottoman social history poses a paradox. On the one hand, it is impossible not to appreciate the great strides accomplished over the past three decades. Earlier approaches have been challenged, topics that were previously untouched or unimagined have been studied, and the foundations of a meaningful dialogue with historiographies of other parts of the world have been established. On the other hand, the theoretical sophistication and methodological debates of Ottoman social history still look pale compared to European and other non-Western historiographies in the same period.

Modernism and everything modern have always been identified with the avant-garde. If something had not at a certain juncture in cultural history been avant-garde,eo ipsoit had also not been modern. But the history of literary Modernism shows a more complex picture. The various arrière-garde movements celebrating the regional, the traditional, the anti-urban aspects of life stood, on the one hand, in manifest contrast to the metropolitan and globally oriented Modernism, but were on the other hand also fostered by the same modernist wave from ca. 1850 onwards. I here discuss the dichotomies between the local and the global, and between the avant- and arrière-garde as constitutive of Modernism as a whole from its very beginnings.

This article aims to reflect the potential connections between Cyprian Norwid, his literature and thoughts on Europe with the elements of the forthcoming concepts of Central Europeanism. On the one hand, the author of Vade-mecum can deliver a sensitized view of Central European multinationalism, especially in his Venetian short stories like Menego or Lord Singelworth’s Secret and meanwhile (in his political journalism, for example, Recit d’une peintre d’histoire) acts as if he was capable of efficiently understanding the first general XIX-century idea of Mitteleuropa. On the other hand, Norwid could react to the issues of Central Europeanism ambiguously and flamboyantly – among others by expressing the opinions about still primal and incestuous patriotism of Southern Slavs.

Between necrophilia and epiphany: Thanatological fascinations of Ladislav KlímaThanatological themes often appear in Ladislav Klíma’s prose as a characteristic keystone of his anthropological project. In some of the writer’s novel and short stories e.g. Utrpení knížete Sternenhocha, Jak bude po smrti, Slavná Nemesis the topic of death introduces large-scale philosophical or metaphysical speculations. It also functions as a way depicting death which is confirmed in the cultural tradition. In both cases Klíma plays a perverse and complicated game with the typical components of the European eschatological imagination. On the one hand, he shows those components in a grotesque manner, which means treating the human mortality without appriopriate respect and dignity, on the other hand he incorporates thanatological topics into his controversial project of a new cosmogony and deification of man.  Mezi nekrohilií a odhaleným tajemstvím. Mortuální hledání Ladislava KlímyMortuální tematika v tvorbě Ladislava Klímy tvoří specifický klíč k jeho antropologickému projektu. V některých Klímových románech a povídkách například Utrpení knížete Sternenhocha, Jak bude po smrti, Slavná Nemesis téma smrti otevírá cestu k široce pojatým filozofickým nebo metafyzickým úvahám a aktivizuje kódy mortuálních obrazů utkvělých v představách tradiční kultury. V obou případech Klíma vede složitou a určitým způsobem přelomovou hru s komponenty tanatického imaginaria umístěného ve všeobecných, skupinových evropských představách. Těmto komponentům propůjčuje groteskní rozměr, čímž zpochybňuje povinnost zobrazování eschatologických motivů s úctou či respektem a začleňuje je do svého — komplikovaného a kontroverzního — projektu nové kosmogonie a koncepce lidské deifikace.

Archetypes are understood as ‘great symbols’ deriving from ancient times and arising from the collective unconsciousness. Through my studies, I realize that, in contemporary Vietnamese short stories, dreams can be considered as an archetype. Dreams are coded in conceptual metaphors, in allegorical expressions, and they appear everywhere in the works of many contemporary authors. On the one hand, this trend is the continuation of a traditional source of inspiration in folk and medieval literature; on the other hand, it is characterized by modern senses. Authors experimentally introduce a philosophy in dreams, and expand their creative range through dreams. This study provides a new insight into contemporary Vietnamese short stories under the archetypal lens.
