In the 1920s, the industrialist and humanist Rafael Patxot i Jubert (1872-1964) promoted and sponsored four cultural patronage projects on Catalan folklore. These were the Obra del Cançoner Popular de Catalunya, the Masia Catalana, the Llegendari Popular Català, and the Refranyer català. The aim of the projects was to collect large corpora of materials to showcase the vast wealth of traditional Catalan culture. In this chapter, the author studies the third of these projects, the Llegendari Popular Català (a collection of folk Catalan legends), by analyzing the importance of this private initiative, the competitions held to promote the collection, and the results achieved by the project. The author also evaluate the importance of one award-winning legend collection from the first competition – that presented by the modernist architect Cèsar Martinell.

Актуальность темы связана с новыми методологическими подходами в исследовании современной культуры Якутии начала 21 века. Авторы попытались применить метод междисциплинарного подхода в исследовании образной географии Якутии начала 21 века на примере проекта «Образная карта - маршрут Таттинского улуса». Город и село в 20 веке являются разными средами обитания современного человека. В первой среде зарождается креативная культура, а во второй - дольше сохраняется традиционная культура. Трансформация традиционной культуры в начале 20 века в городе Якутске привело к зарождению нового креативного типа культуры, а в конце 20 века в постсоветском пространстве формируется образная география конкретного региона или улуса, стянув пространство ландшафта и памятников культурного наследия, что ярко прослеживается на материале Таттинского улуса. The relevance of the topic is related to new methodological approaches in the study of modern culture of Yakutia in the early 21st century. The authors tried to apply the method of an interdisciplinary approach in the study of the figurative geography of Yakutia of the early 20th century by the example of the project "Figurative map - the route of Tatta ulus". City and village in the 20th century are different environments of a modern man. In the first environment, creative culture is born, and in the second, traditional culture is preserved longer. Transformation of traditional culture at the beginning of the 20th century in Yakutsk city led to the birth of a new creative type of culture, and at the end of the 20th century, in the post-Soviet space, a figurative geography of a specific region is formed, pulling together the space of the landscape and cultural heritage monuments, which is clearly seen in the material of Tatta ulus.

Concerning an issue of individual emancipation and a feminist sense in Vietnamese literature in the 1930s, Khai Hung’s Cock-Hen describes Hien as a representative of an innovative women image in compare with the traditional culture. Masculinizing rules of the feminity in the creation of a character have provided Hien most characteristics of male privileges such as a powerful body, a strong personality, and the interest in adventures and risks. Cock-Hen, thus, helps us to identify a feature of feminism in Vietnamese society in the early 20th century.

  The aim of the article is to analyze the multilevel manifestation of the text modality - from grammatical to aesthetic and build a general concept of unrealism as a peripheral, but permanent, constant of the modernist era. However, the ubiquity and dominant delimitation, necessary of structures with conjunctions of unreal comparison, with the predominance of those derived from future forms over those derived from the imperfect, also serves to strengthen the independence of the artwork from social pressure. Subsequently, the characteristic structures of modernity, analogous to the European "future in the past", building an alternative reality, are supplanted by the imperative mood of the second person, with the illocutionary act of calling for a change in the existing reality, in the primitive vanguard and the third person with the "pust" particle [let] in the middle of the 20th century, gradually degenerating into the imperative mood with the "puskai" particle [May], whose motivating pathos is extremely low.

This paper concerns the issue of the interaction of literature and cinematography in the cultural process of the 1920s. The main emphasis is placedon the phenomenon of literary cinematography, which became widespread in the third decade of the 20th century. The content of the concept of “cinematographic literature”is defined, its significant characteristics are singled out (special compositional-syntactic organization of the work, representation of the situation of observation, the use of cinema techniques) and the development of cinematography in the work of poets and writers of the period is studied. Inthecourseof the analysis of thetexts, specific techniques and cinematographic functions characteristic of this decade were singledout. Experimenting with artistic time and space, the authors attach an innovative character to the works, develop new ways of constructing the plot. In addition, cinematography makes it possible to add the text documentary and agitationality. The study revealed a close relationship between the development of cinematography in the literature and the general tendencies of the cultural process of the early 20th century.

The third chapter discusses one of the most intriguing aspects of this document, its system of ordering books. Our knowledge of medieval library systems has hitherto been confined to small collections and thus rudimentary systems or incomplete information in narrative sources. The chapter shows the highly-developed system for organising books according to three parameters, alphabetical order of titles, size of the books and their themes. In contrast to the highly philosophical schemes of how to organise and hierarchise the various learned branches of knowledge (such as those by al-Ghazali and al-Kindi) this library gives a very different insight into how knowledge was organised on a practitioner’s level. The organisation of the library, in addition to several other features of the catalogue, allows also an understanding of the spatial organisation of the library (the actual building was destroyed in the early 20th century). We do not have any study of the spatial aspects of a medieval Arabic library yet and the chapter offers the first exploration of this theme.

Alpha taxonomy of Vietnamese ants was initiated by European and American authors in the early 20th century, and approximately 160 species and infraspecific taxa were described or recorded in this early period. From 1965 to 1966 an inventory project of insects in northern Vietnam was conducted by the Agriculture Ministry of Vietnam, and 36 ant species were recorded. The identity of those taxa, however, needs to be revised based on the modern taxonomy of ants. Since theend of the 1980's dozens of ant species have been newly recorded or described from Vietnam. Regional revisions dealing with Vietnamese species have also been published for several genera including Myrmica, Probolomyrmex, Pheidole, Acanthomyrmex and Anillomyrma. Furthermore, two new genera, Parvimyrma (Myrmicinae) and Opamyrma (Amblyoponinae), were recently described from the country. However, there has been no comprehensive systematic treatment of the Vietnamese ants to date. In order to develop the taxonomy of ants in Vietnam, we have begun a program to: (1) explore local ant faunas; (2) give species codes to all species; (3) overview ant genera known from Vietnam; (4) describe unnamed taxa and review higher taxa known from Vietnam and adjacent areas. Ninety-two genera in twelve subfamilies have so far been recognized by us: DOLICHODERINAE: Chronoxenus, Dolichoderus, Iridomyrmex, Liometopum, Ochetellus, Philidris, Tapinoma, Technomyrmex; FORMICINAE: Acropyga, Anoplolepis, Camponotus, Cladomyrma, Echinopla, Gesomyrmex, Lasius, Lepisiota, Myrmoteras, Nylanderia, Oecophylla, Paratrechina, Paraparatrechina, Plagiolepis, Polyrhachis, Prenolepis, Pseudolasius, Undescribed genus "eg-2"; PSEUDOMYRMECINAE: Tetraponera; CERAPACHYINAE: Cerapachys, Simopone; AENICTINAE: Aenictus; DORYLINAE: Dorylus; LEPTANILLINAE: Leptanilla, Protanilla; AMBLYOPONINAE: Amblyopone, Myopopone, Mystrium, Opamyrma, Prionopelta; PONERINAE: Anochetus, Centromyrmex, Cryptopone, Diacamma, Harpegnathos, Hypoponera, Leptogenys, Odontomachus, Odontoponera, Pachycondyla, Platythyrea, Ponera; ECTATOMMINAE: Gnamptogenys; PROCERATIINAE: Discothyrea, Probolomyrmex, Proceratium; MYRMICINAE: Acanthomyrmex, Anillomyrma, Aphaenogaster, Calyptomyrmex, Cardiocondyla, Cataulacus, Crematogaster, Dacatria, Dilobocondyla, Gauromyrmex, Kartidris, Lasiomyrma, Liomyrmex, Lophomyrmex, Lordomyrma, Mayeriella, Meranoplus, Monomorium, Myrmecina, Myrmica, Myrmicaria, Oligomyrmex, Paratopula, Parvimyrma, Pheidole, Pheidologeton, Pristomyrmex, Proatta, Pyramica, Recurvidris, Rhopalomastix, Rhoptromyrmex, Solenopsis, Strumigenys, Temnothorax, Tetramorium, Vollenhovia, Vombisidris. As the first major contribution to the third goal of the program, here we provide: (1) a key to subfamilies, (2) a key to myrmicine genera, and (3) a synopsis of myrmicine and pseudomyrmecine genera known from Vietnam. A second paper will deal with the Aenictinae, Cerapachyinae, Dorylinae, Leptanillinae Amblyoponinae, Ponerinae, Ectatomminae and Proceratiinae, and a third with the Dolichoderinae and Formicinae.

The formation of the syntactic connection theory in the Ukrainian linguistics (17th – early 20th century)In Ukrainian linguistics, there are no historiographical papers offering an adequate description of the origin and development of the syntactic connection theory. Elsewhere, I have already proposed a periodization of the research on syntactic connections from the time of the appearance of first Slavic grammars until today, which distinguishes five historical stages. The purpose of this analysis is to characterize particularly the first three periods of the development of research on syntactic connections – from the 17th century until the 1930s. The first stage (17th–18th centuries) is the beginning of the syntactic connection theory. The syntactic chapters in the grammars of this period deal with studying the ability of some parts of speech to combine with other words. The second stage (19th century) is the period of approval of terminology and formation of the ground for deepening the syntactic connection theory. All scholars of the period defined two possible realizations of the syntactic connection – agreement and government. The third stage (the beginning of the 20th century until the 1930s) was the period in which the morphological criterion prevailed. The typical symptom of this observed in the period is consideration of syntactic connections between pairs of words in isolation from the rest of the sentence components. The crucial research perspective opened up by the study is to explain in detail the development of research on syntactic connections from the 1940s until today. Tworzenie się teorii związku składniowego w językoznawstwie ukraińskim (XVII – początek XX wieku)W językoznawstwie ukraińskim brak jak dotąd historiograficznych studiów adekwatnie opisujących początki i rozwój teorii związków składniowych. W jednej z poprzednich prac zaproponowałam periodyzację badań nad związkami składniowymi od czasu ukazania się pierwszych gramatyk słowiańskich aż po dziś, wyróżniając w niej pięć etapów historycznych. Celem tej analizy jest scharakteryzowanie zwłaszcza trzech pierwszych etapów rozwoju teorii związków składniowych – od XVII wieku do lat 30. XX wieku. Pierwszy etap (XVII–XVIII wiek) wyznacza początki teorii związków składniowych. Poświęcone składni rozdziały gramatyk tego okresu badają cechy niektórych części mowy pozwalające im na łączenie się z innymi wyrazami. Drugi etap (XIX wiek) to okres uzgadniania terminologii i tworzenia podwalin pod pogłębioną teorię związków składniowych. Uczeni powszechnie wyróżniają wówczas dwa możliwe typy związków składniowych: związek zgody i rządu. Trzeci etap (od początku do lat 30. XX wieku) był okresem, w którym zapanowało kryterium morfologiczne. Typowym tego objawem, jaki można zaobserwować w tym okresie, jest rozpatrywanie związków składniowych pomiędzy parami wyrazów w oderwaniu od pozostałych części zdania. Ważną perspektywą badawczą, jaka otwiera się w rezultacie przeprowadzonych badań, jest szczegółowy opis rozwoju badań nad związkami składniowymi od lat 40. XX wieku po dzień dzisiejszy.
