REGIONAL LITERATURE AS THE FOUNDATION OF STUDENT'S CHARACTER IN THE DIGITALIZATION ERA

Regional literature is a form of cultural product created by a group of people in an area to create a distinctive character. Regional literature plays a significant role in building student character, especially in today's digital era, because the rapid development of technology can affect culture and the existence of regional literature that has developed in previous societies. This research aims to know the role of regional literature in building character in students in the digital era. This research used the descriptive qualitative method. The analysis was obtained from a survey of several students from different regions and also using literature studies with sources from journals published in 2019–2021 related to this research. According to the results, the existence of regional literature in the current digital era is important in building the national character of a student because, if the existence of regional literature fades, the student's character as an Indonesian student will also disappear. The solution that can be offered is to preserve the learning of regional literature so that it can shape the mindsets of Indonesian students. This is because regional literature is a means of forming the quality of students with character in the era of digitalization. This research is limited to regional literary forms in general.

Culinary Inclinations as a Reflection of Identity in Joanne Harris’s ‘Chocolat’

“Tell me what you eat, I’ll tell you what you are.” : Brillat-Savarin. Literature has always been the mode of reflecting human psyche representing the language of people’s culture and traditions. The culture of food is age old and it shapes the individuals as well as a society’s culture. Complex human issues have been analysed using food images on a metaphoric level to represent cultural identities. Importance of food in literature and the role it played in gender studies asserting women’s suppressed individuality and identity is an upcoming area of study. Apart from observing that women are reduced as a kitchen maker, in today’s society kitchen and cooking are a means of expressing one’s identity before the world and is well expressed in various literary forms. Food and its related concerns with feminine identity and domesticity patriarchal oppression, and repressed sexual desire. have been given a central place in many works of women’s literature. One such English writer who used culinary art in her work is Joanne Harris who’s novel Chocolat deals with the magical powers of chocolate and how it works on the people of a particular town attacking the cultural and traditional beliefs of that place rewriting a cultural identity.

THE METHODOLOGY OF ANALYSIS OF J. JOYCE'S NOVEL "ULISSES" (EMPHASES OF DARIA VIKONSKA)

The relevance of the study is due to the need to include the novel "Ulysses" by J. Joyce in university and, if possible, school curricula in foreign literature, as well as the need for its interpretation, despite the excessive complexity of the text and difficulty of perception. It is also important to return the legacy of D. Vikonska, a writer, critic, art critic and literary critic, to modern Ukrainian culture. Research methodology: a model of analysis of the modernist novel "Ulysses", created on the basis of the research work of D. Vikonska “James Joyce. The secret of his artistic face” (1934). Scientific novelty: for the first time the analysis of the novel "Ulysses" is carried out with the broad involvement of the half-forgotten studio of D. Vikonska, which has not lost its relevance, clearly articulates the modernist nature of the work, including surreal style. The purpose of the study: to draw attention to the outstanding figure of D. Vikonska as the founder of Ukrainian Joyce studies, to include her in the modern literary process, to show with her help the significant role of Joyce's novel "Ulysses". Conclusions. The answer to the question why Joyce's novel Ulysses is considered a landmark work of modernism should be concise but convincing, based on macro- and microanalysis of the text. First of all, it is a unique example of the author's self-expression, extreme subjectivism (the whimsy of Joyce's nature), transformed into universalism. No one is as subjective as Joyce is, no one is as universal as he is. Such can only be a conscious modernist who has passed the difficult path of search outside, in the world of culture, and inside, looking into the irrational depths of his own psyche. This is the most rational, intellectual and at the same time irrational, or visionary, according to K.G. Jung, type of creativity. Second: this is the boldest (revolutionary, in the words of Vikonska) challenge to tradition (or Cultural Canon, according to K.G. Jung), which manifested itself in the ironic parody of almost all known literary forms and narrative means, many moral and ethical norms. Third: it is a brilliant example of the author's style, a variant of surrealism, which grows out of naturalism and turns into neomythologism. Joyce's style is characterized by the following features: associative metaphorical writing, author's dictionary, which includes numerous innovations, narrative reception of the flow of consciousness; use of dreams, delusions, other boundary conditions; a bizarre intertwining of past and present, when dead and living characters are equal in meaning; consistent reflection of the external in the internal and vice versa; a labyrinth of human wanderings in search of pleasures, meaning, cognition and self-knowledge. Joyce modeled the next stage in the development of culture – the transition from modernism to postmodernism, from an ironic re-reading of tradition to playing with it.

Olena Haleta, Joanna the Wife of Chuza by Lesya Ukrainka as a New Model of Communication in Modern Ukrainian Literature [Joanna, żona Chuzy Lesi Ukrainki jako nowy model komunikacji w modernistycznej literaturze ukraińskiej]re

This article examines the drama Joanna the Wife of Chuza (1909) by Lesya Ukrainka, who is one of the defining figures in the history of modern Ukrainian literature. This work is considered an example of creating a new communicative model, introducing the poetics of an open work in the Ukrainian literature and establishing a new relationship between writer and audience. The incompleteness of the central image of this work, and therefore of the corresponding behavioral model and worldview, leads to the absence of a plot ending which would be the final solution to the conflict. In this way, Ukrainka establishes a new reading practice, not limited to experiencing the ‘life world’ of the author’s work. As reference to the history of thetext shows, it corresponds to the author’s conscious instruction, with which the composition of the work agrees: the events take place in a special period of time, when the previous story has already ended and the new one has not yet begun (after the crucifixion of Christ, but not after the resurrection). At the same time, the spatial organization of the work emphasizes the position of readers, turning them from interested witnesses to active searchers. The example of Joanna is all the more telling because it undermines the hegemony of the novel in twentieth-century literature and draws attention to literary forms that correspond to a particular literary situation, especially that of ‘submerged population groups’ (Frank O’Connor). The change introduced by Lesya Ukrainka at the level of a separate work is also a change within the genre as a way of communicating between an author and a reader; it is also a change in the very notion of literature as a certain type of aesthetic experience and as a culturally established way of cognitive and rhetorical response to a certain type of situation.

Vom »Mozartbuch für die Jugend« zu »Little Amadeus«

Artikelbeginn:[English title and abstract below] Das Bild Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts ist nicht nur durch seine Musik sowie unzählige biografische und musikhistorische Darstellungen geprägt, bereits früh wird es – angefangen bei E.T.A. Hoffmanns Don Juan (1813) und Eduard Mörikes Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag (1855/56) – durch literarische Texte dämonisiert, romantisiert, idyllisiert, später dann entheroisiert, neutralisiert, sentimentalisiert, trivialisiert oder popularisiert. Betrachtet man das Mozart-Bild im Kinderbuch, so lassen sich zwei Phasen deutlich voneinander trennen: Wird Mozart in den 1940er- und 1950er-Jahren religiös verklärt und zum göttlichen Kind stilisiert, steht in den Mozart-Kinderbüchern und -medien im beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert eine entmystifizierte Sichtweise im Vordergrund., sondern vor allem auch an der breiten Diskussion und der Gründung neuer Institutionen. From The Mozart Book for Youth to Little AmadeusThe Image of Mozart in Children’s Literature and Media Mozart is the most represented composer in literature and media for children, since the biography of his childhood is of genuine interest for that age group. Since the mid-twentieth century, however, the image of Mozart in children’s literature and media has undergone a significant change. Whereas the historical narratives of the 1940s and 1950s worship him as divine child and genius, the literary portrayals of him from the 1970s and 1980s are considered a turning point. This coincides with a caesura in Mozart biography generally, which replaced the hitherto heroising depictions with ones of a childishly naive, obscene and exalted clown. In the early twenty-first century depictions, child protagonists undertake fantastic time travels and meet young Mozart as equals. Instead of adopting a nostalgic attitude towards the wunderkind, these texts are characterised by their explanatory approach towards the composer and his time. Children’s literature written around 2006, Mozart’s 250th birthday, individualises the image of the famous composer, utilising sophisticated literary forms of presentation. The animated television series Little Amadeus, to name one of many examples discussed in the article, gives insight into both the popularisation and the trivialisation of contemporary depictions of Mozart.

What Is the New Testament?

This chapter reviews the origin of the term “New Testament” and then surveys the contexts, various literary forms, and contents of its twenty-seven “books.” It also sketches the historical context in which the New Testament writings developed, beginning with the historical, political, and social context of the life and mission of Jesus of Nazareth, and the extension of early Christianity from its original Jewish milieu out into the Gentile world. While the New Testament exhibits great diversity in its literary components and in the variety of the theological perspectives found in its individual writings, the New Testament also finds a unifying factor in its focus on the identity and mission of Jesus and his normative significance for Christian life. This unifying factor is a major reason for considering the New Testament writings “sacred.”

The New Testament: A Guide

This work addresses the question of why the New Testament is considered a sacred text by Christians. While sharing some characteristics of an Introduction to the New Testament, this work has a very different purpose. While for many the New Testament is respected as an interesting and influential ancient first-century text, for believing Christians the New Testament bears perennial normative religious authority. After exploring the content, the historical roots, and the complex process that led to the composition of the varied writings contained in the New Testament, this study turns to the fundamental unifying purpose of the New Testament writings as religious proclamations in various literary forms of the inherently transcendent character of Jesus Christ and the implications of that proclamation for the lives and destiny of both individual Christians and the Christian community itself. It is this defining characteristic that underwrites the sacred character of the New Testament for Christians. A key process was the formation of the New Testament canon during the early centuries of the Christian era which certified the normative nature of the New Testament writings and fused them onto the Jewish Scriptures or Old Testament to form the Christian Bible. The study concludes by sketching the evolution and ongoing diversity of New Testament interpretation both in the academy and in the church.
