Abstract:
The article examines several episodes of the poem “Vladimir” by M. M. Kheraskov, highlights and analyzes two allegorical journeys of the main character. By means of allegories, the work implements the author's didactic tasks – to instruct readers on the path of virtue on the example of the character's adventures. Vladimir's wanderings take place in a fantastic space and are aimed at spiritual rebirth and salvation of the soul. The vices and temptations of the Kievan Prince appear personified before him and try to turn the hero away from receiving baptism, discredit or distort the Christian faith. The first allegorical journey corresponds to the initial stage of the inner transformation of the character, the second coincides with the final one. Going to the abode of the righteous, Vladimir finds himself in darkness and fog, symbolizing his spiritual blindness, doubts and delusions, faces monstersvices under beautiful disguises, but with the help of a magic object – the flame of faith, presented by the wise mentor Idolem – fights with them and wins. On the way to the temple in the last song of the poem, Vladimir is again stopped and confused by pagans and embodied temptations, but the hero independently distinguishes between good and evil, truth and lies. As a result, the Kievan Prince makes the right choice, overthrows opponents and reaches the goal – the true temple where he receives baptism. Vladimir's twice-completed journey reflects the metamorphosis taking place with the hero. At the same time, allegorical journeys create the fantastic background necessary for the epic, replacing the mythological component. The magical adventures of Vladimir make the plot of the poem more fascinating, illustrate the moral quest of the Kievan Prince, thus allowing you to unobtrusively educate readers without boring teachings.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper offers a reading of Ai Wu's Nanxingji series (Trilogy of Travel Through the South) depicting the author's journey from Yunnan to Burma in the May Fourth era and his subsequent returns to the border regions of Yunnan in the socialist period. It explores the ways in which allegorical dimensions of ‘the local’ shift at different social-historical junctures: ‘the local’ as a site in need of reforms in the 1920s, in socialist reality in the early 1960s, and in traumatic memories of the Cultural Revolution in the early 1980s. In extrapolating these ‘local’ dimensions embedded in the Nanxingji series, this paper suggests a contingent rather than a causal relationship between national incorporation and ‘the local’ formations. Additionally, this paper highlights how travel operates as an allegorical device, linking ‘the personal’ to the interplay of local specificities and the national imaginary, and how travel styles themselves change over time.

Abstract:
This study examined university students’ interpretations of a passage from the novel “The Anthologist” that notably described a poet’s career as his clinging onto an infinitely tall ladder leading up into the blinding blue. Understanding this excerpt requires readers to engage in “metaphor processing” where one applies a metaphoric reading to some instance of language or a situation to obtain allegorical meaning, as opposed to “processing metaphor” in which individual words and phrases are given metaphoric meaning. Students’ interpretations of both the individual segments and the entire text revealed significant allegorical abilities, many of which we centered on their elaboration of the common metaphorical theme LIFE IS A JOURNEY. But participants also clearly created textured, personal readings of fictional texts that gave each interpretive act it own unique, creative flavor. Although this study focused on the “products” of people’s interpretation for allegory, we speculate on the cognitive “processes” required for readers to produce their rich, detailed understandings of allegory in fiction.

Abstract This study, after a summary of the verse romance Homāy o Homāyūn by the medieval Persian poet Ḫwājū Kermānī (14th c.), focuses on its rich semantic stratification and casts doubt on its usual classification as a mere “story of love and adventure”. In particular, this analysis attempts to highlight the numerous and consistent “signals” disseminated by Ḫwājū in his work that deliberately intend to direct the reader to a markedly spiritual perspective in which the hero’s journey in search of his beloved becomes an allegorical spiritual quest.

Abstract:
Abstract This article takes two epidemics, one historical and the other allegorical, for comparison against the current Covid-19 crisis. Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year consists of a narrator whose objectivity and existence are ambiguous. José Saramago’s Blindness, published in the original Portuguese as an “essay,” traces the journey of a cluster of citizens through a polis afflicted by a sudden, infectious outbreak. The respective experiences of confinement: at home, in a disused mental hospital, and within the wider spaces of the city, are analysed in this article with reference to Michel Foucault’s Madness and Civilization, alongside seminal works by Giorgio Agamben, Michel de Certeau and Susan Sontag. The article also aims to indicate how the current Covid-19 crisis may provide a scene of reading, alongside a contemporary response from Slavoj Žižek.

Abstract:
This article will plot and examine the spiritual progression of protagonist Sebastiao Rodrigues from “blind faith” to a fuller awareness of his spiritual self. Endo’s narratives will be seen to eschew allegorical readings in favor of presenting the importance of the spiritual journey for the individual. In the face of extreme violence, Rodrigues will be seen to develop from a position of aspiration toward honorable martyrdom to one of disillusion and disconnection from institutions that obfuscate the clarity of his personal relationship with Christ. The conclusion Endo will be seen to arrive at is that this is the true potential of a spiritual life, that the individual might find affirmation of their own belief in spite of persecution and judicial torture.

Abstract:
In “The Artificial Nigger,” Flannery O’Connor provides directions for the reader to precisely follow her characters’ circuitous route from the city center to the suburban train station where they end their journey. While the Heads find themselves in three of the city’s shopping centers, O’Connor is careful to keep them from coming within sight of any of the city’s churches. O’Connor uses this commercialized Atlanta to examines the claim that commerce can make people “too busy to hate.” She then moves into an allegorical register in which the market represents judgement and the Heads experience grace only after leaving it.

Abstract:
Abstract Thornton Wilder’s 1931 one-act play The Long Christmas Dinner presents several challenges in staging. This article records the experiences of a student production— from early rehearsal through performance—mounted at the University of South Carolina Sumter. The production also included Wilder’s other 1931 one-act The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden. The article describes how the production handled the allegorical portals of birth and death in The Long Christmas Dinner, and how the production endeavored to communicate the play’s compression of 150 years of family dinners into a thirty-minute performance. It describes the production’s innovative techniques which replicated the play’s sound effects and stage movement.

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse nous voudrions mener une étude approfondie sur le Songe du Vieil Pelerin (1389) de Philippe de Mézières concernant la structure complexe de ce voyage allégorique-didactique, ses facteurs de cohérence et cohésion qui font son principe d’unité, l’utilisation de certaines sources ainsi que sa réception auprès du public. Notre but est de mieux éclairer le procès de construction de ce texte, la posture de l’auteur et la place du Songe dans le contexte littéraire de la fin du XIVème siècle. Notre étude commence par une analyse détaillée du prologue. C’est là que Philippe de Mézières fournit les clés de lecture de son œuvre et qu’il met en place la réflexion sur le problème de la vérité: vérité spirituelle, morale ou encore verbale, et donc liée à un modèle rhétorique précis, enfin vérité de l’œuvre, de contenus qui y sont véhiculés et authenticité de l’écriture. Ce problème constitue un fil rouge qui traverse tout l’itinéraire accompli par le pèlerin, dans le récit, ainsi que les parenthèses didactiques ou digressives qui le parsèment, comme nous essayons de montrer dans la partie centrale de notre étude.Enfin, nous choisissons deux canaux langagiers bien définis et privilégiés dans le tissu discursif et narratif du Songe, la polémique et la pénitence, pour analyser plus en détail comment le modèle rhétorique proposé par l’auteur peut être le premier pas vers la voie d’un renouvellement social et spirituel<br>This research presents a thorough study on the Songe du Vieil Pelerin focused on four aspects: the complex structure of the allegorical-didactic journey described by Philippe de Mezieres; the internal coherence and cohesion that contribute to the unity of the text; the use of sources and the critical reception by Mezieres' contemporaries. From a general standpoint, the main goal of this research is to clarify the inner workings of Mezieres' creative endeavour, in order to better understand the place of the Songe in the literary context of the late fourteenth century. The research begins with a detailed analysis of the prologue, where Mezieres provides the keys to understand his work and organizes its reasoning on the problem of truth, distinguishing between a spiritual, moral, and verbal truth. This analysis marks the way of the pilgrim – the Songe main character – throughout Mezieres' work, both in the story and in the frequent didactical digressions. When the pilgrim's path ends, the rethorical model that underlies the entire work is explained with the help of the concepts of polémique and pénitence, to show how Mezieres conceives his work as a first step in the way of a social and spiritual renewal

Abstract:
This chapter examines six Arab Hamlet offshoot plays performed between 1976 and 2002, describing how the Egyptian, Syrian, and Iraqi dramatists of the past thirty-five years have since deployed Hamlet for dramatic irony. The most recent of these plays, written in English, stands on the margins of the Arab Hamlet tradition. But the rest, aware of their predecessors' heroic Hamlet, turn him into a foil for their own pointedly inarticulate and ineffectual protagonists. These bitter, often hilarious plays criticize the political situation, but they are at their best in mocking allegorical political theatre. The only real political agency available, they suggest, is the power to set oneself above one's circumstances through ironic laughter.

Abstract:
This chapter begins with the cultural impact of the June War and its coda, Gamal Abdel Nasser's death in 1970. As the chapter shows, the defeat fundamentally altered Arab conceptions of political theatre's role. A well-developed high culture was no longer considered enough to guarantee the world's respect. Psychological interiority was irrelevant: what mattered was not deserving agentive power but seizing it. Disillusioned with their regimes, dramatists stopped addressing subtly allegorical plays to the government; instead, they appealed directly to audiences, trying to rouse them to participate in political life. Analyzing two early 1970s Hamlet adaptations from Egypt and Syria, the chapter demonstrates how the 1970s Hamlet became a Che Guevara in doublet and hose. Guilt and sadness over his father's death only sharpened his anger; his fierce pursuit of justice left no room for introspection or doubt.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the strange and unlikely literary figure of H. T. Tsiang, a Chinese immigrant who lived, studied, and wrote in New York City during the 1930s. His modern(ist) epic novel, The Hanging on Union Square, has been linked to John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, which itself has been variously labelled an epic over its long and popular history. The chapter also chronicles the emergence of capitalism as a fundamental American value alongside democracy, individualism, and progress, while exploring the countervailing development of Marxist ideology in the 20<sup>th</sup> century. In delivering the allegorical journey of Mr. Nut through Manhattan, Tsiang playfully offers a strong challenge to the capitalist status quo.

Full text
Abstract:
Octave Mirbeau’s novel Le Jardin des supplices (The Torture Garden; 1899) depicts an exoticized fictional image of a Chinese ‘torture garden’ in order to hold up an allegorical mirror to European hypocrisy in the fin de siècle. Although France under the Third Republic may see itself as a civilized country, the treatment of Alfred Dreyfus and the barbaric violence inflicted on indigenous peoples in north Africa by French colonial forces belies such a claim. But the novel reads as political allegory and as exploitative piece of lurid Orientialism; seemingly complicit with the very system that it critiques, it both celebrates and condemns the Decadent fascination with the exotic Other. Developing an insight by Brian Stableford, this essay reads Le Jardin des supplices alongside Thomas More’s Utopia (1516), which also uses a fictitious journey as a means to critique contemporary mores, including public hanging and military expansion. Following Homi Bhabha, it argues that Mirbeau presents this anti-colonial exoticism in order to suggest a third space beyond the dichotomy of East and West: like More’s island of Utopia, Mirbeau’s fictional China points to a third, hybrid space which transcends the limitations of the French and Chinese polities.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses on allegory, which offered journalists and satirists a flexible tool for coded political criticism during the first decades of the eighteenth century. Allegory was a particular problem for prosecutors and plaintiffs, who were required to demonstrate that fictional names in allegorical worlds referred to real victims in England. Early on, the abandoned prosecution of Delarivier Manley for The New Atalantis (1709), an allegory (or secret history) of the Whigs and Queen Anne, revealed the limitations of courtroom procedures to link allegorical depictions to real-world individuals or institutions. As a result, allegorical satire flourished in the periodical press and especially in two of the most important journals of the 1710s and ’20s: The Craftsman and Mist’s Weekly Journal. The government failed to prosecute either periodical successfully until early 1729, when Chief Justice Raymond, building on the doctrine of ‘common intendment’, argued that jurors should rely on an abstract ‘generality of readers’ when confronted with allegory.
