GENRE OF THE EPISTLE IN THE LYRICS BY M. I. NOVJUKHOV

В истории хантыйской литературы к жанру послания обратился только Матвей Иванович Новьюхов. В данной статье анализу подвергаются послания, вошедшие в книгу М.И. Новьюхова «С надеждой на счастье» (2012). Хантыйским поэтом представлены дружеские, любовные послания и послания-письма родным. Диалогическая природа жанра сильнее всего проявилась в дружеских и любовных посланиях хантыйского стихотворца. Диалог с мансийским поэтом Юваном Шесталовым позволил автору размышлять о месте и роли поэта в обществе. М.И. Новьюхов подчеркивает высокое предназначение поэта в жизни общества, не случайно в одном из посланий к основоположнику мансийской литературы он ставит рядом два понятия «поэт» и «гражданин». Частная жизнь и биографические реалии ярче представлены в любовных посланиях и посланиях-письмах к родным. Послания к членам семьи (брату, дочери) носят характер личной беседы. Образцы любовного послания содержит трогательные признания, адресованные возлюбленной. In the history of Khanty literature, only Matvey Ivanovich Novlukhov addressed to the genre of the epistle. The article analyzes the epistles included in the book of M. I. Novjukhov "With Hope For Happiness" (2012). The Khanty poet presents the friendly, love epistles and letters to relatives. The dialogic nature of the genre was most strongly manifested in the friendly and love epistles. The dialogue with the Mansi poet Yuvan Shestalov allowed the author to reflect on the place and role of a poet in society. Novjukhov emphasizes the high purpose of a poet in the life of society. It is no coincidence that in one of the epistles to the founder of Mansi literature, he puts the two concepts of "poet" and "citizen" side by side. Private life and biographical realities are more vividly represented in love epistles and letters to relatives. The epistles to family members (brother, daughter) are in the nature of a personal conversation. Samples of love epistles contain heartwarming declarations of love addressed to his beloved.

“Blok’s Symphony” by Vladimir Shcherbachyov: a “partitura incognita”

Весной 2021 года семья ленинградского композитора В. В. Щербачёва опубликовала за свой счет партитуру самого значительного сочинения в его симфоническом наследии — Симфонии № 2 для солистов, хора и оркестра на тексты Александра Блока. Созданное в первой половине 1920-х годов, произведение к настоящему моменту исполнялось лишь дважды: при жизни автора в 1927 году (дирижер В. А. Дранишников) и после его смерти в 1987 году (дирижер В. В. Катаев), в связи с чем предпринимается попытка объяснить этот исторический факт. Отдельное внимание посвящено обстановке премьерного показа и впечатлению, произведенному им на первых слушателей и отразившемуся в периодике тех лет. На основе личных бесед автора рецензии с внучкой композитора Е. О. Кучумовой воссоздаются обстоятельства исполнения симфонии, приуроченного к 100-ле тию со дня рождения композитора. Отмечается кропотливая работа редакторов— сотрудников Санкт-Петербургской консерватории Н. А. Мартынова и А. А. Красавина — по восстановлению нотного текста на основе сохранившейся рукописной копии переписчика и стеклографического издания в библиотеке «Дома музыки на Старо-Петергофском» (в прошлом библиотека Музфонда Ленинградского отделения Союза композиторов). Обосновывается необходимость включения данного монументального симфонического произведения в современную концертную жизнь. In spring 2021 the descendants of the Leningrad composer Vladimir Scherbachyov published for their own money the score of his most significant symphonic opus — Second Symphony for soloists, choir and orchestra with lyrics from Alexander Blok. Composed at the beginning of XX century, it has been performed just twice — during the life of the author at 1927 (conductor Vladimir Dranishnikov) and after his death at 1987 (conductor Vitaliy Kataev), which makes it necessary to explain this historical fact. Special attention is paid to premiere and impression on public, reflected in critical articles. Based on the personal conversation with Vladimir Scherbachyov’s granddaughter Elena Kuchumova circumstances about 100th anniversary of the composer’s birth performance are recreated. Nicolay Martynov and Alexey Krasavin performed rigorous work of on recreation of the score on the basis of a manuscript copy of autograph and steklograph edition held at library of “Musical House on Staro-Peterhofsky” (previously the library of Musical Fond of the Union of Composers of Leningrad). The necessity of including this monumental symphonic piece in the modern concert life is justifed.

Alexander von Humboldt: the Outstanding Natural Scientist, the Silent Ideologist of Multiculturalism

The author studies the reception of A. von Humboldt of the humanitarian prob­lems of his time. In his works Humboldt articulated many ideas of the just social order and even of multiculturalism. But despite great interest towards the natural science of the regions he visited, the researcher avoided public judgments about social problems of these states’ residents. A. Humboldt criticized many actual so­cial problems: aggressive cultural assimilation, colonialism, slavery, social in­equality etc., but avoided public demands of social transformations in the re­gions he visited. He either could reject any violent social transformations or looking for loyalty of the state’s authorities, that financed and organized his ex­peditions. A. Humboldt, the opponent of slavery, never once spoke critically about slavery in a personal conversation or correspondence with T. Jefferson. During his journey across Russia, the scientist was extremely careful in his judg­ments about the Russian bondmen. The inconsistency of the Humboldt’s per­sonal liberal position and his humanitarian blindness to socio-political problems illustrates the problem of the relationship between people of authority and people of knowledge, that was announce by F. Znanetsky. Humboldt who was primarily such a lay counselor just focused on his own academic research thar was his main priority.

Luiz Cunha, “international but brief” [and pop!]

Luiz Cunha (1933-2019) is recognised for his singular and eclectic architecture, which stands out in the Portuguese context, as well as for his production as a highly skilled draughtsman and a passionate painter. His extensive body of work has received a certain attention and research and his production is read as part of a movement for the renovation of religious architecture, as an individual creative expression, or as part of a fantasist trend towards postmodern Portuguese architecture. Lesser attention, however, was devoted to his writings, drawings, unbuilt projects and unbuildable paper architectures. An analysis of that corpus reveals a surprising production especially in the early years of his career; he was an attentive spectator of the international debate and, more importantly, a translator of some of these ideas into Portuguese reality.Based on graphical documentation, writings, and a long personal conversation, this article proposes a rereading of Cunha's activity, focusing on his exploration of pop expression through a) drawing — merging the aesthetics and the mechanics of comics and cartoon into architectural representation, b) buildings — employing a formal techno-pop repertoire and experimenting with complex structures, always with a distinct sense of humour and c) architectural discourse — entering the international debate on megastructures and capsules of the time, while actively promoting Portuguese architecture. Analysed chronologically, this production allows a retracing of the evolution of Cunha’s thinking and reveals a figure who is “international but brief” — in Nuno Portas’ expression — constantly halfway between regional architecture and space-age capsules.

“Oceans of Love”

This essay reviews Hilton Als’ 2019 exhibition God Made My Face: A Collective Portrait of James Baldwin at the David Zwirner Gallery. The show visually displays Baldwin in two parts: “A Walker in the City” examines his biography and “Colonialism” examines “what Baldwin himself was unable to do” by displaying the work of contemporary artists and filmmakers whose works resonate with Baldwin’s critiques of masculinity, race, and American empire. Mirakhor explores how Als’ quest to restore Baldwin is part of a long and deep literary and personal conversation that Als has been having since he was in his teens, and in this instance, exploring why and how it has culminated via the visual, instead of the literary. As Mirakhor observes, to be in the exhibit is not to just observe how Als has formed and figured Baldwin, but to see how Baldwin has informed and made Als, one of our most lyrical and impassioned contemporary writers and thinkers.

Genre shifts in Israeli campaign advertisements: Strategies and rhetorical functions

The present article addresses genre shifts in Israeli political campaign in 2013, specifically written advertisements published in newspapers, on the Internet, on stickers, in leaflets, and on billboards. I examine shifts to diverse genres (protest slogans, writing on social networks, personal conversation, a math exercise etc.), and analyze various discursive and para-linguistic strategies by means of which these shifts are implemented: use of registers and sociolects identified with particular genres; syntactical, semantic and lexical repetitions; graphic, typographical, and visual elements, etc. I show that due to the expectations of the addressees regarding the reconstructed genres and the addressing parties, genre shifts may serve to fulfill two main pragmatic-rhetorical functions: (1) Promoting messages regarding the desired conduct of the voters during the elections; (2) Self-positioning of the parties, either to strengthen their existing image among the public or to create a new, surprising one. I thus emphasize the key role played by genre shifts in the intertextual phenomenon of integrating semiotic meanings into a linguistic text; specifically in this case, integrating cultural-societal meanings into campaign advertisements.
