The subject of this research is the monumental vocal-symphonic piece of the prominent Russian composer of the second half of the XX century Boris Tishchenko. His Symphony No.6 s based on the poems by A. Naiman, A. Akhmatova, O. Mandelstam, M. Tsvetaeva and V. Levinzon, completed in 1989, and tribute to Yevgeny Alexandrovich Mravinsky, who passed away a year before. Poetic lines that form the backbone of the symphony contain multiple images resembling death, which imparts a profound meaning, a moment of personal experience in dedication to the prominent conductor. Special attention is given to the symphonic dramaturgy of the Symphony No.6, the problem of interrelation between music and poetry, realization of the complex literary texts in the ultimately modern symphonism of Boris Tishchenko. The conclusion is made that Tishchenko is absolutely seamless in this vocal-symphonic opus and reveres his coauthors. The translates everything into the music, without missing a tiny thing that can reveal its meaning and beauty. At the same time, the circle of poetic images, semantics of the verse were transformed in accordance with his worldview. The novelty is defined by the fact that this article is first in Russian musicology, to comprehensively analyze the Symphony No.6  by Boris Tishchenko, reveal its semantics, and performance difficulties. The author attributes this symphonic composition of Boris Tishchenko to most remarkable in the history of Russian music.

Special Meaning

A special role in the development of a pianist as a musician, composer and performer, as shown by the examples of the well-known, included in the history of art, and the most ordinary pianists, their listeners and admirers, lovers of piano music and music in general, are played by moments associated with psychotherapeutic abilities and music features. The purpose of the study is to comprehend the psychotherapeutic aspects of performing activities (using pianists as an example). The research method is a theoretical analysis of the psychotherapeutic aspects of performing activities: the study of the possibilities and functions of musical psychotherapy in the life of a musician as a “(self) psychotherapist” and “patient”. For almost any person, music acts as a way of self-understanding and understanding of the world, a way of self-realization, rethinking and overcoming life's difficulties - internal and external "blockages" of development, a way of saturating life with universal meanings, including a person in the richness of his native culture and universal culture as a whole. Art and, above all, its metaphorical nature help to bring out and realize internal experiences, provide an opportunity to look at one’s own experiences, problems and injuries from another perspective, to see a different meaning in them. In essence, we are talking about art therapy, including the art of writing and performing music - musical psychotherapy. However, for a musician, music has a special meaning, special significance. Musician - produces music, and, therefore, is not only an “object”, but also the subject of musical psychotherapy. The musician’s training includes preparing him as an individual and as a professional to perform functions that can be called psychotherapeutic: in the works of the most famous performers, as well as in the work of ordinary teachers, psychotherapeutic moments sometimes become key. Piano music and performance practice sets a certain “viewing angle” of life, and, in the case of traumatic experiences, a new way of understanding a difficult, traumatic and continuing to excite a person event, changing his attitude towards him. It helps to see something that was hidden in the hustle and bustle of everyday life or in the patterns of relationships familiar to a given culture. At the same time, while playing music or learning to play music, a person teaches to see the hidden and understand the many secrets of the human soul, the relationships of people.

The Subject

The contested category of Asian American literature presents a rich opportunity to explore questions of epistemology. At the start of the 21st century, a formal turn in literary study further illuminates shifts in structures of knowledge and ways of knowing. Asian American literature emerged in the 1970s as a critical response to a history of exclusion and misrepresentation. As the field established itself, literary knowledge was defined quite narrowly: it is produced by Asian Americans and the subject of knowledge is Asian America itself. The reading practices that arise from this central paradigm have been called “instrumental” or “sociological,” insofar as they conceive of literary language, with varying degrees of formal interest, as an instrument or expression of Asian America. From the 2000s onward, scholarship on Asian American form and poetics has grown steadily, and what distinguishes this particular movement is its privileging of form as its primary object of investigation. Correspondingly the subject of knowledge also shifts from Asian America as the default referent to Asian American literature and the literary tradition. Critics note that one consequence of making form the prime objective is a potential tendency to drift away from the ambit of Asian America altogether. Those literary texts featuring conspicuous formal experimentation have garnered a lot of attention; less has been paid to the early texts, like the anthology Aiiieeeee!: An Anthology of Asian-American Writers (1974), where formal concerns are not as explicit. Yet upon closer examination of Aiiieeeee! one discovers another type of figurative activity that can help redefine Asian American literary knowledge, offering us new ways of reading and looking at race.

The Mediterranean

For centuries after the death of Alexander the cult of the Egyptian gods, and of Isis in particular, was widespread in the Mediterranean. The fact is of considerable importance in the history of religious ideas; yet it has not received much special attention. Perhaps this is not altogether surprising. The range of the search is wide and the task daunting. The subject of Isis–Hellas is unclaimed by Egyptology. For its proper exploration the classical scholar must delve into many fields. Besides the epigraphical and numismatic evidence many literary texts have to be read. Sculpture, painting, magical amulets and papyri can all be turned to account. Some fresh approach may suddenly throw the Isiac faith into a strange light as when Merkelbach four years ago found links between its mysteries and the romantic tales by such writers as Achilles Tatius and Heliodorus. Abundant proof for the existence of the Egyptian cult on the Greek mainland and in the Aegean and Asia Minor has been brought forward by Rusch, Brady and Magie. Yet we have to bear in mind how strong it also became during the Imperial Age in Italy, as was shown years ago by Lafaye and more recendy by the Dane Alfoldi and the Vietnamese Tran Tam Tinh. No wonder then that a comprehensive and definitive work on Isis in all her countless guises (Isis Myrionymos) has still to be written.

Discussing the issue of foreign investment in colonial economies, such as those of India and Indonesia, in the first half of the twentieth century gives rise to a number of problems. In addition to the obvious difficulties of data collection there are also complex conceptual and definitional issues. The aim of this paper is to set out what we know about the quantities and performance of foreign investment in the two economies, and to use this information to draw more general conclusions about the economic history of the two areas. In analysing the material only those lines which seem to offer a genuinem comparative perspective will be followed. We are interested in those aspects of the history of foreign investment in India which can tell us something about the history of foreign investment in Indonesia, and vice versa. It is convenient to split the subject into two time periods, 1920-38 and 1945-60.

Geography has been accorded surprisingly little attention in the study of world theatre history. Maps are by no means the sum total of geographic knowledge, but their existence (or the lack thereof) provides a handy indicator of an author's interest in the subject. Oscar G. Brockett and Franklin J. Hildy'sHistory of Theatrehas numerous pictures of actors and diagrams of theatres but only one map that directly pertains to theatre. All the rest of its maps (of which there are fewer than two dozen) are standard-issue political maps.Theatre Histories: An Introduction, by Phillip B. Zarrilli and others, is groundbreaking in many ways, but it includes only six maps, and none of these directly concerns theatre. Each of the six volumes ofThe World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatreincludes only one map, a basic political one. Other standard reference works on the history of theatre contain no maps; these includeThe Cambridge Guide to Theatre,The Oxford Companion to the Theatre, andThe Oxford Encyclopedia of Theatre and Performance.Numerous types of map might be relevant for a study of theatre, but aside from the occasional political map, the basic overviews of theatre history do not include such resources.

Qualitative Changes

The article, brought to the attention of readers, develops the outlined sections of the author’s report “The Theme of Death and Immortality in the Fine Arts of the Modern and Contemporary Times” presented at the conference of the Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts (November 21-22, 2019). The initiators of the conference explained their choice of one of the global and eternal themes of world art related to the very essence of the existence of humankind and each person by the fact that if ethnologists and culturologists have systematically studied certain aspects of thanatology, the existing extensive art material has yet to be brought together. Of the priority areas proposed by the conference program compilers, the author of this article chooses to say: “There is no death!”: the theme of immortality, resurrection, eternal and repetitive life in art”. The theme of memory, which occupied an important place in the art of the Great Patriotic War, is the subject of research of the published article. It is most fully expressed in such a field of creative and scientific thought of the war years as memorial architecture. Widely held contests for the projects of monuments became a noticeable phenomenon of the artistic life of those years, and the graphic works were included in the valuable fund of Russian cultural heritage. Observing the birth of a new monument, the author of the article notes that memory and remembrance concepts underwent significant changes during the war years. The attitude to memory became an essential measurement of the very concept of memoriality, its worldview, semantic and symbolic content. Identifying the ways of interaction of the perceiving, experiencing, and interpreting consciousness, during which the mythologeme of "return" begins to be realized, a kind of regeneration of damaged cultural tissues takes place, is the purpose of this small study. The review of the archetypal concepts of “Life, Death, Immortality”, these main subjects in the works of literature, fine art, and wartime architecture, allows us to see what significant qualitative changes occurred in the spiritual world of an individual and led to profound changes in the artistic and cultural process in general.

The study focuses on the efficacy of Economic and Strategic Intelligence (ESI) and its impact on the performance of organizations. The main objective is to try to give a complete overview on the problem of measuring this efficacy which is an indispensable tool for the performance of organizations. Economists, management researchers, and information and communication scientists, analyzed, compared, and evaluated improvements in this area of ​​organizational performance. Our research problem will focus on the following question: How can we measure the efficacy of Economic and Strategic Intelligence (ESI) and its impact on the performance of organizations? In order to achieve this goal, and on the basis of a corpus of articles on this subject published in periodicals between 1982 and 2015, supplemented by the main works, papers and research reports on the subject, we propose a synthetic and critical reading which traces the contrasting history of those works, particularly about the efficacy of the ESI and its impact on the performance of organizations. The study distinguishes between different measures partial and general exposed by the authors. It exposes the governance as the instrument of complementary measure to other instruments.

The article analyzes the results of two international conferences of young musicologists held at the RGSAI online. The first conference "Creativity and Performance: Young Scientists' View of the Art World" was attended by students and postgraduates of higher educational institutions of Russia and Hungary. Within this conference special attention was paid to the period of Russian music of the turn of the XIXth – XXth centuries, namely to the works of S. Rachmaninoff, N. Medtner, R. Gliere and S. Taneyev. Postgraduate students from China took part in the conference "Russian- Chinese Dialogue in Musical Art". As a result of cultural exchange between Russia and China, Chinese students get an opportunity to study at conservatories, academies and institutes in various cities of the Russian Federation. Like other universities in the capital, the Academy trains representatives of various specialties, including performers, as well as musicologists, who improve their qualifications in the field of musical science. During the second conference, presentations were made on the history of Chinese and Russian theater. A series of reports combined works dedicated to prominent figures of Chinese culture who have gained wide international fame.

This article discusses Freud’s presentation on telepathy to his close colleagues at the meeting in the Harz mountains in 1921. It considers the fate of his paper and the reasons why he never published it as a single piece. The development of Freud’s ideas about telepathy during the succeeding years and the reasons that prompted him finally to publish his views on thought-transference in 1925 are also considered. The article also discusses the place of the four cases presented in his writings on telepathy over this period, culminating in his new ‘lecture’ on Dreams and Occultism in 1933. It is suggested that Freud’s persuasion that psychoanalysis could credibly account for thought-transference was in part affected by the degree of trust he held in those presenting him with material, but most of all by his own personal experience. Freud held out against opposition from people like Jones on the matter of the worthiness of the subject for investigation, but never succeeded in integrating it more fully into psychoanalysis, and this position is largely unchanged today.

O terceiro ano do Ensino Médio é considerado um momento de desafios, tanto para docentes quanto para discentes, visto que é o ano de conclusão de um ciclo de vida dos alunos. Para os professores, também existe dificuldade, pois cabe a eles a responsabilidade de mediar ensinamentos, medos, incertezas, frustrações e superações. No caso da disciplina de língua francesa, esse desafio se intensificou quando a maioria das provas de acesso às universidades deixou de prever o idioma como opção de língua estrangeira, gerando desinteresse pelas aulas. Os obstáculos impostos naturalmente pelo terceiro ano e aqueles peculiares à nossa disciplina levaram o Setor de Francês do Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (CAp UFRJ) a refletir sobre estratégias a fim de (re)motivar os alunos. Propusemos para o ano de 2017 três ateliês temáticos (música, literatura e cinema). Neste artigo, objetivamos apresentar o trabalho realizado entre junho e dezembro de 2017 com o grupo de ateliê de literatura, cujos planejamento e execução foram pensados com o intuito de trabalhar com a turma a leitura de textos literários e a criação de poemas a partir das leituras e discussões feitas em sala de aula. Faremos um resumo do histórico do uso do texto literário ao longo das metodologias de ensino de francês e faremos uma defesa da importância do uso da literatura na aula de língua. Por fim, apresentaremos algumas atividades realizadas e produções dos alunos, além de mostrarmos as avaliações feitas pelos alunos dessa experiência pedagógica. Palavras-chave: Língua e literatura. Textos literários. FLE. Metodologias de ensino. Interculturalidade. LITERARY READING AND FRENCH LANGUAGE TEACHING: HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ FORMATION AT CAP-UFRJ Abstract: The third year of high school is considered a challenging moment for teachers and students, since it is the final year of a school cycle for students. Teachers’ difficulties are increased by their responsibility to mediate teachings, fears, uncertainties, frustrations and overcomings. In the case of French as a school subject, these difficulties were intensified when most Brazilian university entrance tests no longer offered French as a foreign language option, resulting in lack of interest in French classes. The obstacles naturally imposed by the third year of high school and those directly related to French led the French Department of Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, in 2017, to propose three thematic workshops (music, literature and cinema) as a strategy to (re)motivate students. This paper presents this experience, carried out between June and December 2017 with the group from the literature workshop, whose planning and performance were designed to work on literary text reading and poem writing from the readings and classroom discussions. The paper also presents a summary of the history of the use of literary texts to teach French as well as a defense of the use of literature in language lessons. Finally, some of the students’ activities and productions, including their assessments, will be presented. Keywords: Language and literature. Literary texts. FLE. Teaching methodologies. Interculturality.
