The ongoing interest in Jane Eyre and its various adaptations, appropriations, mash-ups and sequels are indicative of the fact that the story and the main character have loosened themselves from literary forms and have become transmedia phenomena. Taking into consideration the independent web series The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, and the media discussion it generated among online communities, this chapter argues that in contrast to popular screen adaptations of the novel, the web series disentangles the heroine from the romantic plot and re-positions her within a network of relationships that encourage her growth. In this way, the series bypasses gender critiques levelled at Charlotte Brontë’s text and the majority of its mainstream adaptations. The web series’ media format and exploration of authorship enables its viewers to treat it both as an adaptation and a fictional vlog, highlighting the complex ways in which this classic of Victorian literature continues to matter today.

The article deals with a spectacle as an integral part of the modern mediatized world. The features of coverage of spectacles with mass media are analysed. It is noted that the most popular are spectacles, based on real events, because the effect of a reality enhances the emotion of the perception of the material. Real spectacles transmitted through the mass media acquire a remarkable resonance. Thus, the coverage of terrorist acts, mass and individual brutal killings in media news unintentionally advertises a spectacle of “terrible” in its real size. Such spectacles include news, extreme events, and snuff. In the modern interpretation “snuff-movie” — these are short films, videos, most often pornographic, depicting murders in real life. The author focuses on snuff films because they combine the main characteristics for attracting viewers: the spectacle, the real foundation and basic emotions — the combination of porn and horror. The novel “Snuff” by Palaniuk demonstrates the main features of snuffs. According to the laws of the genre, in “Snuff”, there is a woman — Cassie Wright as the main character of the event, and sex as the organizing element of the book’s plot, and rape as the reason for the selection of the Cassie Wright’s profession, as well as the death of the main character as foreseen result of pornoorgia. The spectacle of the real in the novel is intensified through the mediation of the publicity announcement and coverage of the resonance pornography in the media. The construction of a reality in the novel is based on numerous historical facts or facts from the lives of prominent people which are told about by Cassie Wright during conversations. In addition, all of them is accompanied by a phrase-refrain “true fact” to underline the reality of the course of events.

The problem of language identity in Volodymyr Vynnychenko’s novel I want! in contemporary sociocultural context

The novel by Volodymyr Vynnychenko I want! (1915) was, on one hand, his literary answer to the discussion on the national question in Ukrainian society, and, on the other, it was his reaction to the accusations of him being a renegade resulting from his shift towards Russian literature. In 1907-1908, after the publication of his dramas and novels which were impregnated with the idea of “being honest with oneself” (it implied that all thoughts, feelings, and acts were to be in harmony), his works could be more easily published in Russian than in Ukrainian. This situation was taken by his compatriots as a betrayal against his native language and the national cause. In the novel I want! the problem of language identity is directly linked with national identity. In the beginning of the novel the main character, poet Andrey Halepa, despite being ethnic Ukrainian, spoke, thought, and wrote poems in Russian, and consequently his personality was ruined and his actions lacked motivation. It seems that after his unsuccessful suicide attempt and under the influence of a “conscious” Ukrainian, Halepa got in touch with his national identity and developed a life goal (the “revival” of the Ukrainian nation and the building of a free-labour enterprise). However, in the novel, national identity turns out to be incomplete without language identity. Halepa spoke Ukrainian with mistakes, had difficulty choosing suitable words, and discovered with surprise the meaning of some Ukrainian words from his former Russian friends. The open finale emphasises the irony of the discourse around a fast national “revival” without struggle and effort, and which only required someone’s will.
