The Ideal

Rabindranath Tagore in his Nobel Prize Acceptance speech said poignantly, “The spirit of India has always proclaimed the ideal of unity…. It comprehends all, and it has been the highest aim of our spiritual exertion to be able to penetrate all things with one soul…to comprehend all things with sympathy and love.” This ideal of a humanitarian world found expression in Tagore’s work in many genres and, to a great measure, he experimented innovatively by entering the minds of people substantially different from himself. The essay looks into his portrayal of a married Bengali woman and an Afghan trader in two short stories.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was the first non-European and the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. He was awarded the prize for Gitanjali. Tagore was a multi-faceted personality who not only composed poems, verses, short stories, novels etc but also sketched and painted with equal brilliance. As a flag-bearer, he presented the best of India to the West and vice-versa. In Breezy April, Tagore combines romanticism with spiritualism. On the other hand, Anita Desai (born-1937) is the youngest among the women novelists of eminence in India. The spiritual aspect of human life is at the centre of attention in her works. Women protagonists of fragile exterior and strong interior take the lead in Anita Desai’s works of fiction. Spirituality is an integral part of most of her works. In her first novel Cry, the Peacock (1963), Desai minutely depicts both love as well as deep spiritual intricacies.

Borders within borders: A new regionalism in contemporary Croatian literatureThe article is an attempt at a synthetic presentation of Croatian literature researchers’ reflection about regionalism in the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century. The author observes that there is a tendency to see Croatian literature as one that produces two different models of texts in terms of poetics and philosophy – the northern, which is “Central European,” and the southern, which is “Mediterranean.” She then examines the coherence of the “ideal types” delineated by researches according to the themes and literary devices utilised, based on two short stories from 2006, by writers one of whom is from the northern and the other – from the southern part of the country. Granice wewnątrz granic. Nowy regionalizm we współczesnej literaturze chorwackiejArtykuł jest próbą syntetycznej prezentacji refleksji chorwackich badaczy literatury na temat regionalizmu w XX i na początku XXI wieku. Autorka wskazuje na istnienie tendencji do postrzegania chorwackiej literatury jako realizującej dwa odmienne – północny tj. środ­kowoeuropejski oraz południowy tj. śródziemnomorski – modele tekstów w zakresie poetyki i filozofii, a następnie na podstawie dwóch opowiadań z 2006 roku, napisanych przez pisarzy z Północy i Południa, sprawdza przystawalność nakreślonych przez badaczy „typów idealnych” do materiału literackiego.

Acceptance Speech

One Hundred Years of Solitude has frequently been approached from a historical perspective, focusing on the colonial imprint in Latin America’s destiny. Yet in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, García Márquez made it clear that he wished to be remembered for the poetry that permeates his writing. This article is inspired by this assertion, as well as by a quote from Ernesto Sabato, who claims that for philosophers and artists, myth and poetry are keys to access the Absolute: truth, beauty, and perfection. Taking into account the few previous attempts to pursue these motifs in the novel, the article undertakes a search of the traces of both myth and poetry in García Márquez’s opera magna. The faces of myth are many: Oedipus, prophecies, magic, utopia, the mandala of the tree of life, cyclical time, alchemy, one-dimensional characters (actants), genesis, and apocalypse. On the other hand, poems and metaphors are ever present in the novel. This search led to a new reading of One Hundred Years of Solitude, discovering García Márquez’ celebration of ambiguity. For the novel’s conclusion moves the reader to two opposing interpretations: apocalypse (the destruction of Macondo and the solitary Buendía dynasty) and hope (solidarity in a new mankind). The possibility of clashing readings confirms Italo Calvino’s definition of a classic as a book that never finishes saying what it has to say.

Rabindranath Tagore is India’s pre-eminent writer and was the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1913. He is best known for his poetry collection Gitanjali: Song Offerings, which he self-translated into English from Bengali. Tagore introduced new verse forms into Bengali poetry, and revolutionized literary prose by using colloquial Bengali (calit bhasa) in his novels and short stories. Previously, Bengali literature had been written in refined Bengali (sadhu bhasa), which drew on Sanskritic vocabulary and archaic grammatical forms. Tagore was a strong advocate of caste reform in colonial India, a critic of nationalisms worldwide, and the founder of an international university called Visva-Bharati whose motto was Yatra visvam bhavatieka nidam (‘Where the whole world meets in one nest’). Rabindranath Tagore was born on 7 May 7 1861 to Debendranath and his wife Sarada Devi. The surname Tagore is an Anglicization of ‘Thakur’, which means lord in Bengali. His father was an influential member of the Brahmo Samaj, a religious society dedicated to reforming Hinduism. Brahmoism’s tenets of caste and marriage reform can be seen in the development of Tagore’s short stories and novels from Chokher Bali [Grain of Sand] in 1903 to Char Adhyay [Four Chapters] in 1934.

A study in poetic affinities between Rabindranath Tagore and Robert Frost seems a bit strange to the reader as both the poets belong to two different nations. Apparently there is no connection between the two great poets – one belongs to America and the other belongs to India with a poetic career spanning the last four decades of the 19th century and the first four decades of the 20th century. The affinities between Tagore and Frost are clearly seen in their works. In respect of their poetic vision, their attitude to nature, the world, sense of beauty and wonder, yearning for the ideal, both the poets share a considerable portion of similarities. However, a sense of divergence from each other prevails beneath the similarities as Tagore is a devotee and his appreciation, particularly in the West, refers to him as a mystic poet, while Frost is an agnostic. This paper attempts to make a comparative study of Frost’s ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ and Tagore’s “Aimless Journey” with a view to unfolding the astonishing similarities and differences between the poets.IIUC Studies Vol.12 December 2015: 27-40

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 1906 was shared by two scientists that set the basis for understanding how the brain works: Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramón y Cajal were awarded the honour “in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system”. Yet, contrary to what usually happens in these situations, one of them was wrong and tried to sabotage the theories of the other one, refusing to admit his mistakes even when he gave his acceptance speech. How did Santiago Ramón y Cajal, a humble Spanish doctor, manage to upstage the legendary Italian pathologist and change forever the way we see the brain?

The article deals with the specific features of the voice phenomenon representation and the peculiarities of its functioning in French-language short stories written by Beckett, namely in Premier amour (First Love), Le calmant (The Calmative) and Au loin un oiseau. The abovementioned texts allow us, on the one hand, to demonstrate the genesis of the writer’s artistic and aesthetic principles of representing the studied phenomenon, which were later reflected in theatrical, radio and television plays, and, on the other hand, – to shed light on the specificity of the literary world of these texts. The research conducted allows us to conclude that in all the analyzed texts the voice is captured in different forms of representation and has a varying (from text to text) functionality. In Premier amour, there is a feminine voice asking to restore the corporeality and individuality of its origin. However, the stamp of convulsiveness in the heroine’s voice paradoxically has its source not in the corporeal but in the ideal. In Le calmant, the protagonist’s feebleness, expressed by the signs of his corporeal conditions, is doubled by his aphony, which thus transcends one of the most important motifs for Beckett’s writing – that of human weakness. This motif also reveals here another shade of meaning – weakness as a ‘respite’ from the suffering which human existence bears. Finally, in Au loin un oiseau we see a ventriloquist character. Due to the ‘I’ living inside, the ‘He’ is becoming similar to ventriloquists. Unlike them, however, his speaking capacity is under control of the narrator.

The present study traces the dynamics of personal characteristics in youth and the manifested neurotic symptoms in the training process. These facts are the reason for the low levels of school results in the context of the existing theoretical statements of the problem and the empirical research conducted among the trained teenagers. We suggest that the indicators of neurotic symptomatology in youth – aggression, anxiety, and neuroticism, are the most demonstrated, compared to the other studied indicators of neurotic symptomatology. Studies have proved that there is a difference in the act of neurotic symptoms when tested in different situations, both in terms of expression and content. At the beginning of the school year, neurotic symptoms, more demonstrated in some aspects of aggressiveness, while at the end of school year, psychotism is more demonstrated. The presented summarized results indicate that at the beginning of the school year, neurotic symptoms are strongly associated with aggression. There is a tendency towards a lower level of social responsiveness, both in the self-assessment of real behavior and in the ideal “I”-image of students in the last year of their studies. The neurotic symptomatology, more demonstrated due to specific conditions in the life of young people and in relation to the characteristics of age.

The relationship between Islam and state raises a controversy that includes two main groups;formalists and substantialists. Both of them intend to achieve a good social condition which is inaccordance with Islamic politics. The ideal form of good society to be achieved is principallydescribed in the main source of Islamic law, Al Qur’an and As Sunnah, as follows. A form of goodsociety should supprot equality and justice, egalitarianism, and democracy in its social community.The next problem is what the needed methods and instruments to achieve the ideal Islamic politicsare. In this case, the debate on the formalization and substance of Islamic teaching is related to therunning formal political institution.Each group claims itself to be the most representative to the ideal Islam that often leads to anescalating conflict. On the other hand thr arguments of both groups does not reach the wholeMuslims. As a result, the discourse of Islam and state seems to be elitist and political. As a result,Both groups suspect each other each other and try to utilize the controversy on the relationshipbetween Islam and state to get their own benefit which has no relation with the actualization ofIslamic teaching.
