Damisch, Hubert, and Jean Dubuffet. "Writings and correspondence: 1961-1985." October 154 (October 2015): 8–68. http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/octo_a_00236.
Full textAbstract:
This dossier comprises a selection of the correspondence between Hubert Damisch and Jean Dubuffet as well as six essays written by Damisch on Dubuffet between 1962 and 1985. Both the correspondence and texts are here published in English for the first time. “Jean Dubuffet and the Awakening of Images” (1962), Damisch's second article on Dubuffet, discusses the relationship between material object and idea, or painting and image, in Dubuffet's art since the 1940s. “Work, Art, Artwork” (1962) examines Dubuffet's return to figuration following his abstract works of the late 1950s. “Paris Circus” (1962) is an extended review of the recently completed series Paris Circus, and “Second Method” (1964) investigates Dubuffet's cycle of the Hourloupe in the light of questions of perception present in Maurice Merleau-Ponty's The Eye and The Mind. “DUBUFFET (Jean)” (1969) was written as an entry of the Encyclopedia Universalis. The final essay, “Starting Ground” (1985), was written at the time of the artist's death. It evokes, among other themes, contemporaneity and posterity and Dubuffet's complicated embrace of an artistic career. This essay lays the ground for subsequent texts by Damisch on Dubuffet. The correspondence, which is interspersed amidst the writings, is complete save for a few technical letters concerning the editing of Dubuffet's writings by Damisch in 1967. Damisch himself defines it as “work correspondence.” In these letters, artist and writer debate specific terms, discuss the artist's work and the writer's essays, and provide a glimpse of their complex personal relations.

Full textAbstract:
Kusama Yayoi has been active as an artist for more than 50 years, and is highly acclaimed both in her native Japan and in the United States, where she spent more than a decade of her career. A large corpus of critical reviews, catalogue texts, interviews and autobiographical writings by and about Kusama has been published over the years, and this paper investigates a specific topic in these texts concerning the discourse of madness. A persistent myth of Kusama as a'mad' artist emerged in the early and mid-1980s, but has influenced the interpretations of her whole oeuvre. Based on three texts written by Kusama, this paper shows that the artist herself did not describe her artistic processes in psychopatholocial terms at the early stages of her art production. I shall argue for more accurate interpretations of Kusama's art, based on the artist's own accounts as well as trends on the contemporary internatinoal art scene.

Budge, Gavin. "“Art’s Neurosis”: Medicine, Mass Culture and the Romantic Artist in William Hazlitt." Articles, no. 49 (April 9, 2008): 0. http://dx.doi.org/10.7202/017856ar.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractAlthough criticism has traditionally focussed on the Romantic celebration of artistic genius, there is also an emphasis on artistic abjection in Romantic writing. This essay argues that the Romantic theme of abjection is linked to the claims of early nineteenth-century Brunonian medicine that conditions of nervous over- and understimulation are the cause of diseases such as consumption and hypochondria, a case which is made with particular reference to the writings of William Hazlitt. Brunonian medical theory also informs Romantic period analyses of a newly emergent mass culture, enabling Romantic depictions of artistic abjection to be understood as a denial of the Romantic artist's involvement in a mediatization of experience which potentially distances the audience from the intuition of reality to which Romanticism ultimately appeals. This ambivalence about the position of the Romantic artist is reflected in the Romantic period debate surrounding the aesthetic category of the picturesque, which is shown to draw on Brunonian ideas about nervous stimulation in a way which makes it exemplary of conflicted Romantic attitudes towards the effects of mediatization.

This article examines philosopher Hubert Damisch's extensive scholarship on Jean Dubuffet, including his editorial travails and annotations of the four volumes of the artist's complete writings, Prospectus et tous écrits suivants. Further, it is argued that Dubuffet's art and writings influenced the development of Damisch's particular counter-historical methodological approach to the history of art.

Guy-Bray, Stephen. "Beddoes, Pygmalion, and the Art of Onanism." Nineteenth-Century Literature 52, no. 4 (March 1, 1998): 446–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/2934061.
Full textAbstract:
Thomas Lovell Beddoes's almost unknown poem "Pygmalion" (1825) is one of the first nineteenth-century treatments of the Pygmalion myth. For his version Beddoes draws on Ovid's Metamorphoses, on Rousseau's Pygmalion, scène lyrique and Confessions, and on Beddoes's father's Hygëia (1802), a work on medicine and public health. Beddoes uses his father's writings on masturbation and its connections with literature to compare the artist's solitary labors with the solitary vice of masturbation. Beddoes's fusion of the discourse of artistic creation and the medical discourse that warned of the dangers of masturbation enables him to suggest that poetic activity drains the artist of his strength and prevents him from achieving any direct relation to the world in which he lives. Beddoes's apparent ambivalence about the value of artistic endeavour can be seen in his own vacillations between a literary and a medical career and his ultimate lack of success in either field.

Moholy, Lucia. "El Lissitzky." October 172 (May 2020): 111–16. http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/octo_a_00395.
Full textAbstract:
Likely published in anticipation of a 1967 volume of primary documents relating to the Russian artist El Lissitzky, Lucia Moholy discusses the artist's biography, career, influences, major works, reception, and relation to the Bauhaus. Drawing on her involvement in the fields of publishing and printing, she also introduces his then little-known books and graphic art, as well as his conception of the “Proun.” Although not stating it explicitly, much of her knowledge draws on having known Lissitzky personally in the 1920s and his writings from that period. The text stands as one of the earliest discussions of Lissitzky outside of the Russian language.

Full textAbstract:
The article represents genre-style etymology of Boris Konstantinovich Zaitsev (1881-1972) publicistic legacy (that includes essays, profiles and critical notes). Style-forming expressions of this outstanding representative of 20th century Russian literary abroad are analyzed within the context of his ethical and philosophical principles. Zaitsev’s portrait and landscape sketches are considered for the first time as figurative-poetic and genre-compositional components of the artist's “visual palette”. One of the effective methods of comprehending the style and ethos of the writer is the disclosure of multi-genre subtexts that reflects the creative worldview of B. Zaitsev, in which aesthetics is closely intertwined with metaphysics, and this, in turn, determines the adjacent disciplinary tools for the study of “literary painting”, actualizes parallels with non-verbal art forms (painting, music). The intertextual phenomenology of B. Zaitsev's publicistic texts is not limited to the artful, masterly and technical depiction. The nature of refined subject-figurative “painting”, as follows from the analysis, is based on the spiritual contemplation of the writer and reflects a rare for the art of the 20th century harmony of the artistic and transcendent.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDespite the abundance of lore about Joachim Wach's lifelong passion for literature, music, and other arts, the pertinence of his aesthetic reflections to his formation as historian of religions is often ignored or under-appreciated. Yet his involvement with the Kreis surrounding the poet Stefan George was perhaps one of the chief early factors that led Wach to liken the study of the history of religions to contemplation of literature and the arts. It is even possible that ideas of the literary historian Friedrich Gundolf about the relationship between the artist and the artist's work helped stimulate Wach's early thinking about the relationship between religious experience and the theoretical, practical, and institutional expressions of that experience. Indeed, throughout his own scholarly writings Wach displays an irrepressible tendency toward combining religionswissenschaflich theorizing with aesthetic reflection, and toward encompassing literary, musical, and other artistic examples within the scope of data to be considered by scholars of religion. This article analyzes the development of that tendency in Wach's scholarship, paying special attention finally to his notion of the modern Western "emancipation of art" from religious influence. This notion, while reflecting a general optimism that characterizes his view of the diversifying, developmental course of numerous other religious and cultural phenomena over time, may ultimately be too strong or reductive for describing what has actually occurred over the past several centuries in the relation between artistic and religious phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this research is the works of the unique Khanty artist Mitrofan Alekseevich Tebetev (1924-2011), viewed from the perspective of its sociocultural origins. The artistic path of the artist took place at the intersection of two intertwined cultures: patriarchal culture of the Ob Ugrians and the culture of Soviet official circles. M. A. Tebetev quite organically infused both cultures. It may seem that his visual art is characterized by propensity for the naive style. However, such assessment in many ways devaluates analysis of the content of artist's paintings. Therefore, certain alienation from the excessive narrow-focus art discourse can propel the analysis of his works to a different, general cultural level. The crucial role in this research is played by the works of such theoreticians as P. Tillich, Dvořák, A. Hauser, and V. N. Prokofiev, which outlined the theoretical and methodological framework for this article. The sources for this research became the works of M. A. Tebetev, exhibition catalogues, and reproductions of his paintings, as well as writings dedicated to his works. The main conclusion consists in the thesis that the works Of M. A. Tebetev feature the attributes of visual historical-ethnographic sources. The evolution of Russian painting from photographic accuracy towards latent iconographic simplicity and open archetypical paganism reflects profound changes in the worldview of the late XX – early XXI centuries.

Full textAbstract:
The author examines Leonardo da Vinci's lifelong interest in the depiction of blurred, colored shadows from the point of view of painting technique and optics. She analyzes Leonardo's refinement of the oil technique to capture the instability of colored shadows from the early Annunciation of 1472–1473 and examines the artist's theoretical writings on shadows from the 1490s onward. The author shows how Leonardo analyzed the blurred edges of colored shadows with the geometric rigor that earlier authors afforded only to the clear-cut edges of astronomical shadows. She argues that the very kind of shadows that captured Leonardo's attention indicates his underlying pictorial concerns, despite the fact that his instructions often seemed directed toward teaching a way of seeing rather than a way of painting.

A presente pesquisa analisa o emprego de narrativas verbais como construtos ficcionais utilizados por artistas do campo visual através de seus trabalhos e documentações. Particularmente enfocam-se três aspectos desses escritos: quando se apresentam em forma autobiográfica; quando esta biografia é associada ao mundo histórico; e quando o artista torna-se autor de uma historiografia particular. Nesta investigação elegemos escritos considerados representativos dessas ocorrências enfocadas – entre eles os dos artistas Sophie Calle, Lucas Samaras, Ad Reinhardt, Joseph Beuys, Robert Morris e Jannis Kounellis. Através dessa análise, visa-se explanar algumas particularidades do gênero, tais como o que determina com que um escrito ficcional seja um trabalho do campo dito visual e não do literário; o porquê da escolha por parte dos artistas desse suporte como meio para suas significações; e por quais traços o meio verbal contagia um campo já usual à arte, o ficcional.This research analyses the use of verbal narratives as fictional constructs by artists from the visual field, through the work of these artists and their documentation, particularly focusing in three aspects of these artist’s writings: as autobiographical, as biographical in relation to the historical world, and when the artist becomes the author of a particular art history. For investigating the subject it was selected a group of artists and artworks that could be considered representatives of these occurrences – as seen in writings from Sophie Calle, Lucas Samaras, Ad Reinhardt, Joseph Beuys, Robert Morris and Jannis Kounellis. The analysis explore questions as what would classifies a work of fiction within from the visual arts field instead of literary; why these artists chose this form of expression as medium for their significations; and how the verbal field influences the fictional in visual art.

Entre os anos 2000 e 2010, são intensificadas e renovadas mundialmente as discussões sobre produções artísticas que se relacionam com o conhecimento, a universidade, a pesquisa, a teoria, a reflexão, a educação e os outros campos do conhecimento. Um dos ângulos desse fenômeno multifacetado, e que é motivo de interesse crescente dos artistas e demais profissionais da Arte, pode ser resumido com a expressão pesquisa artística. Uma das contribuições desta tese é relacionar o pioneirismo da criação dos programas de pós-graduação em Artes Visuais no Brasil, com trajetória consistente de estabelecimento e definição desde a década de 1970, a esse fenômeno recente, que aconteceu sobretudo na Europa, disparado pela transformação das academias de arte em universidades por lá, seguida de um debate intenso sobre os significados da pesquisa do artista. Além disso, este estudo percorre as produções artísticas, discursivas, pedagógicas e teóricas dos artistas brasileiros Jorge Menna Barreto e Ricardo Basbaum em busca da linha poética da pesquisa, contextualizando-os tanto como herdeiros da pesquisa em arte no Brasil quanto associados a essa movimentação internacional sobre a pesquisa artística. Parte-se da incerteza sobre a multiplicidade dos significados e das nomenclaturas que a pesquisa do artista provoca, não como uma indagação ontológica, mas com o propósito de entendimento sobre o seu lugar, uma questão institucional da arte inserida no ambiente universitário e, sobretudo, um problema que se encontra na própria obra de arte, agora considerada de pesquisa.From the years 2000 to 2010, discussions on artistic productions that are related to knowledge, university, research, theory, reflection, education and other fields of knowledge are intensified and renovated. One of the angles of this multifaceted phenomenon, and a reason for the rising interest in it by artists and other art professionals, can be summarized by the expression artistic research. One of the contributions of this thesis is correlating the pioneering creation of postgraduate programs in Visual Arts in Brazil, consistently established and defined since the 1970s, to this recent phenomenon, that took place specially in Europe, initiated by the transformation of art academies into universities, followed by an intense debate on the meanings of artist research. Moreover, this study examines artistic, discursive, pedagogical and theoretical productions by Brazilian artists Jorge Menna Barreto and Ricardo Basbaum in order to find the poetic line of research, contextualizing both as heirs of research in art in Brazil and affiliates of these international shifts on artistic research. The starting point is the uncertainty regarding the multiplicity of meanings and nomenclatures that artist research provokes, not as an ontological enquiry, but with the purpose of understanding their place, an institutional matter of art inserted in the university environment, and, particularly, a problem found in the work of art itself, now considered research.

Full textAbstract:
The published texts and curatorial practice collected together in this PhD interrogate the nature of the creative act in contemporary visual art practices. They focus on the complex of co-creation in relation to: - creative acts of dialogue between the practices of artists, curators and writers - creative acts of experiencing the world - creative acts of making art about experiencing. They form a coherent programme of research addressing: - site-based and contextually engaged curated projects since the 1950s - relationships between, and definitions of, the roles of curator, writer and artist in contemporary practices - the nature of authorship and collaboration - histories, theories and practices around Body Art and Land Art - current philosophical and scientific debates around consciousness - the situated, immersive and creative nature of embodied consciousness - writing practices that address consciousness and experience. The material draws, in particular, on the ideas and work of James Joyce and Marcel Duchamp, as well as a range of other thinkers including Georges Bataille, Rosalind Krauss, Mary Douglas, Francisco Varela and Elaine Scarry. Section 1 Includes materials and discussion of independent site-based curatorial projects In the UK including New British Sculpture, Edge 90, Edge 92, TSWA, Tyne International, Artscape Nordland and Artangel. Artists discussed include Helen Chadwick, Cornelia Parker, Guillermo Gomez Pena & Coco Fusco, Maria Thereza Alves, Alan Michelson & Jimmie Durham. This section also includes articles on Marina Abramovic, Dorothy Cross and Carolee Schneemann. Section 2 includes materials and discussion of curatorial and writing projects concerned with the nature of experience and embodied consciousness. This includes the projects EarthWire with artists Kathleen Rogers, Rena Tangens, Jozefa Rogocki and Bruce Gilchrist, James Turrell's Northumberland Skyspace and Twilight It also includes writings on the artist's body, embodied consciousness, documentation and performance, James Turrell, Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, Chris Burden, Joan Jonas and Cyril Lepetit. Section 3 considers embodied consciousness immersed in its environment and the work of artists addressing this theme. It includes the curatorial projects Here, Contemporary Romantic and the sound art festival OX' with artists including Ray Lee and Alexel Shulgin, the exhibition projects KnoWhere, Generator and Dialogue and writings on art and weather, women's art, KnoWhere, Marcus Coates, London Fieidworks and Optik.

Esta pesquisa parte da obra do artista norte-americano Robert Smithson (1938-1973), sobretudo de seus escritos deixados. Desde o início, a vontade era a de andar às voltas de um modo específico de conhecimento do mundo: escrever sobre a intricada relação entre teoria e prática no campo das artes visuais. Estudo cujo conteúdo teve por lastro as referências - literárias, artísticas, teóricas e históricosociais - sintetizadas nos textos do artista eleito. Tal contexto de trabalho conduziu as análises deste ensaio, cada forma determinada por seu próprio repertório. Escavando assuntos com palavras, sempre rente à coleção de escritos de Robert Smithson. Experimento por acabar, resta um conjunto composto por dezessete pequenos fragmentos. A execução desta montagem representa uma adaptação ensaiada repetidas vezes diante de um espelho. O tiro partiu de local pouco conhecido; o cartucho era de festim: ricocheteou até perder força e cair, por fim.This research departs from the oeuvre of the American artist Robert Smithson (1938-1973), especially from the writings he left. From the beginning, the will was to surround a specific way of knowing the world: to write about the intricate relation between theory and practice in the visual arts field. Study whose content had as its ballast the references - literary, artistic, theoretical, historical and social - synthesized in the texts of the elected artist. Such work context conducted the analysis of this essay, each form determined by its own repertoire. Excavating subjects with words, always close to the collected writings of Robert Smithson. Unfinished experiment, a set made up of seventeen small fragments remains. The execution of this assemblage represents an adaptation rehearsed repeatedly before a mirror. The shot came from little-known site; it was a blank cartridge shot: ricocheted till it lost strength and fell, at last.

Full textAbstract:
In settings such as hotels, bars and boutiques, things like cars, sodas, clothes, and cities, are fueled with the symbolic capital of graffiti. The purpose of this ethnographic study is to understand how graffiti writers, through marketing, increase the value of their work, as well as that of other products, and how this commercialization affects the meaning of graffiti. Utilizing a perspective of social constructionism, the analysis shows how actors and social fields that are constructed as incongruous (e.g., art galleries and graffiti culture), are at the same time being mixed together to create something new, and thus create value. This study shows how practices that are considered marginal, or deviant, at the same time generate value within the general economy. Deploying an abductive approach, and building on ample empirical material, this study shows that the narrative of graffiti as something illegal is one of the main traits that enables graffiti writers to exchange subcultural capital for economic. The results show that previous research, investigating graffiti from a dichotomous perspective of either art or vandalism, do not give a satisfactory understanding of this diverse subculture. The empirical material consists of 30 participant observations in public events, in Sweden during the autumn of 2014, where graffiti is turned into a commodity embodied with subcultural capital. Moreover, four in-depth interviews were executed with graffiti writers who have sold their competence and art for purposes of marketing, and one group interview with three of their customers. Further, several documents were collected and analyzed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter investigates a crucial turning point in the writing of Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous (1941–1997) in the late 1970s. This internationally acclaimed author belonged to a generation of Arab intellectuals and artists whose political and artistic identities were strongly shaped by the question of Palestine. After the Camp David Accords of 1978 and the resulting Egypt-Israel peace treaty, signed in 1979, Wannous attempted suicide and stopped writing plays for more than ten years. This chapter shows how the plays he published after this self-imposed silence moved away from a didactic, political theater and towards psychological studies focusing on individuals as well as minority and gender issues. This chapter asks whether the significant aesthetic and conceptual turn in Wannous’s work from the early 1990s onwards might go beyond the concerns of a specific individual artist. To what extent does it mark a generational shift in regard to the meaning and connotations of political art?

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on a set of nudes and portraits by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. It engages with the artist's ambivalent relationship with artistic anatomy and demonstrates the artist's increasing attention to the body's surface achieved through a reduction of modelling of the physical forms. Ingres changed the terms of the fabrication of flesh tones – carnations – and skin became deliberately non-physiological. Critics registered Ingres's peculiar handling of skin and flesh as one of the artist's idiosyncrasies and their writings manifest a gradual shift in the understanding of the body in paint. In Ingres‘ paintings themselves, the established association of flesh and paint was replaced by the alignment of the skin with the images‘ ground, be it canvas or paper in the case of drawings, and of the depicted skin with the polished painterly surface. The final section argues that the suppression of anatomical detail is pushed to the extreme in Ingres‘ portraits of women, resulting in a renunciation of physiognomic paradigms in which a person's exterior is meant to refer to internal qualities and character. Like in his Valpinçon Bather, the concealment of skin goes along with the closure of the interior space.

Full textAbstract:
A comparison of Oscar Bie’s monographies Die Oper and Das deutsche Lied shows that opera and ‘Lied’ are two extremes in Bie’s understanding of musical genres. While opera according to Bie is an “impossible work of art” which arises from countless contradictions, the low-conflict ‘Lied’ forms an opposite pole. Bie’s perception influences the way he deals with the two genres in writing: while opera is suitable for an adequate feuilleton, ‘Lied’ is not. Bie’s comparison gives him the possibility to break with established patterns of genres. It becomes apparent that for him opera takes on a special role in that it represents the culmination of the basic features of music. As a critic, Bie demands utmost congruence between object and written representation. Writing about music means to be an artist who deals with the same work of art but in another medium.

Milovanovic-Bertram, Smilja. "Lina Bo Bardi: Evolution of Cultural Displacement." In 2016 ACSA International Conference. ACSA Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.35483/acsa.intl.2016.61.
Full textAbstract:
In recent years much has been written and exhibited regarding Lina Bo Bardi, the Italian/Brazilian architect (1914-1992). This paper aims to look at the phenomenon of cultural displacement and the dissemination of her design thinking as a major female figure in a male dominated profession. This investigation is distinguished from others in that it addresses the importance of regional and cultural influences that formed Lina’s design philosophy in her early years in Italy. Cultural displacement has long played a significant role in the creative process for artists. Often major innovators in literature are immigrants as elements of strangeness, distance, and alienation all contribute to their creativity. The premise is that critical distance is paramount for reflection as a change of context unfolds unforeseen possibilities. Displacement was a consistent element throughout the trajectory of Lina’s architectural career as she moved from Rome to Milan, from Milan to Sao Paolo from Sao Paolo to Bahia and back to Sao Paolo. Viewing this form of detachment and dislocation permits insight into her career and body of work as displacement mediates the paradoxical relationship between time and space. The paper will examine three distinct periods in her career. The first period is set in Rome, where she assimilated the city, showed artistic aptitude and spent her university years studying under Piacentiniand Giovannoni. The second period is set in Milan, where she developed impressive editorial and layout skills in publications work with Gio Ponti and BrunoZevi. and was influenced by Antonio Gramsci’s writings. The third is set in Brazil, where she builds and evolves as an architect via what she absorbed in Rome, wrote in Milan, and finally realized in Brazil. After Italy’s collapse in WWII Lina writes, draws, edits, critiques the plight of the Italians in need of better housing and circumstances. She leaves Milan with her new husband, PM Bardi (a prominent journalist, art critic) for Brazil. In Sao Paolo she absorbs the optimism and positive direction of Brazil. Her early design work in Brazil echoes European modernism, but when she travels to Bahia and becomes aware of the social conditions, she draws from her Italian experiences of and ideas of transforming lives through craft. Her architectural projects become directly responsive to the culture of Bahia and the politics of poverty. Lina’s design thinking evolves and parallels George Kubler’s study, The Shape of Time, and the history of man-made objects by bridging the divide between art and material culture.

Full textAbstract:
The background color of Russian literature and Russian painting art in the 19th century is gloomy and heavy, and there exists text intertextuality between them, which is different from single text and single painting. Literary words and painting invisible words quote, permeate, insinuate and rewrite each other. Literature is the writing of painting, and painting is the color of literature. The main line of literature development and the main line of painting development seem to be twisted together like a rope, presenting spiral development, closely linked, complementary and inseparable.The same value orientation and aesthetic purpose have intertextuality, mutual influence, mutual interaction and mutual transformation, no matter in creation method, theme, artistic style or creation background. Direct description or sharp pen, or by the protagonist of indirect irony, using realistic and critical realism creation method, revealing the tsarist autocracy savage, dissatisfaction with the reality in protest of rebellion, as well as being bullied and oppressed pain and struggle, at the same time reflects the immortality of the Russian national literature and art achievement.

Full textAbstract:
The starting point of the present paper is the hypothesis that the distribution of discursive words characterizes the trends in the development of the writing style of the 19th century. The paper presents and discusses the results of an experiment based on the data of the Russian National Corpus on the frequency of using discursive words with the semantics of epistemic modality, such as konechno, razumeetsya (both roughly meaning ‘of course’), po-vidimomu ‘apparently’, kak kazhetsya, kazalos’ by (both ≈ ‘it would seem’), naverno ≈ ‘as it were’, veroyatno ‘probably’, pozhaluy ≈ ‘maybe’, deystvitel’no ‘really’, etc. We show that the frequency of this group of expressions increases in the second half of the 19th century. A similar trend is also observed for some syntactic constructions with the same semantics: (ya) dumayu, chto… ‘(I) think that...’; (ya) schitayu, chto… ‘(I) believe that...’; (mne) kazhetsya, chto… ‘it seems to me that’. The revealed regularity is considered as a discursive practice in changing the style of fiction, which consisted in expanding the modus part of the utterance as compared to the earlier period. The discursive practice of expanding the modus was inherent only to a group of innovative writers (first of all, F. M. Dostoevsky, M. E. SaltykovShchedrin, L. N. Tolstoy, I. A. Goncharov, A. F. Pisemsky, P. I. MelnikovPechersky, N. S. Leskov, and I. S. Turgenev), who, however, due to their talent, social significance, and the number of published texts, had a significant impact on the language of fiction. The task of studying the dynamics of artistic style is to identify and describe a set of discursive practices that establish written discourse as such.

Full textAbstract:
Exile is one of the central motifs of the 20th century European culture and literature; it is closely related to the historical events throughout this century and especially those related to World War II. In the culture of East Central Europe, the phenomenon of exile has been greatly determined by the context of socialism and post-socialist transformations that caused several waves of emigration from this part of Europe to the West or other parts of the world. It is interesting to compare cultures of East Central Europe, the historical situations of which both during World War II and after the collapse of socialism were different, e.g. Latvian and ex-Yugoslavian ones. In Latvia, exile is basically related to the emigration of a great part of the population in the 1940s and the issue of their possible return to the renewed Republic of Latvia in the early 1990s, whereas the countries of the former Yugoslavia experienced a new wave of emigration as a result of the Balkan War in the 1990s. Exile has been regarded by a great number of the 20th century philosophers, theorists, and scholars of diverse branches of studies. An important aspect of this complex phenomenon has been studied by psychoanalytical theorists. According to the French poststructuralist feminist theorist Julia Kristeva, the state of exile as a socio-cultural phenomenon reflects the inner schisms of subjectivity, particularly those of a feminine subject. Hence, exile/stranger/foreigner is an essential model of the contemporary subject and exile turns from a particular geographical and political phenomenon into a major symbol of modern European culture. The present article regards the sense of exile as a part of the narrator’s subjective world experience in the works by the Yugoslav writer Dubravka Ugrešič (“The Museum of Unconditional Surrender”, in Croatian and English, 1996) and Latvian émigré author Margita Gūtmane (“Letters to Mother”, in Latvian, 1998). Both authors relate the sense of exile to identity problems, personal and culture memory as well as loss. The article focuses on the issues of loss and memory as essential elements of the narrative of exile revealed by the metaphors of photograph and museum. Notwithstanding the differences of their historical situations, exile as the subjective experience reveals similar features in both authors’ works. However, different artistic means are used in both authors’ texts to depict it. Hence, Dubravka Ugrešič uses irony, whereas Margita Gūtmane provides a melancholic narrative of confession; both authors use photographs to depict various aspects of memory dynamic, but Gūtmane primarily deals with private memory, while Ugrešič regards also issues of cultural memory. The sense of exile in both authors’ works appears to mark specific aspects of feminine subjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
The French composer Francis Poulenc had a profound admiration and empathy for the writings of the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. That empathy was rooted in shared aspects of the artistic temperament of the two figures but was also undoubtedly reinforced by Poulenc’s fellow-feeling on a human level. As someone who wrestled with his own homosexuality and who kept his orientation and his relationships apart from his public persona, Poulenc would have felt an instinctive affinity for a figure who endured similar internal conflicts but who, especially in his later life and poetry, was more open about his sexuality. Lorca paid a heavy price for this refusal to dissimulate; his arrest in August 1936 and his assassination the following day, probably by Nationalist militia, was accompanied by taunts from his killers about his sexuality. Everything about the Spanish poet’s life, his artistic affinities, his personal predilections and even the relationship between these and his death made him someone to whom Poulenc would be naturally drawn and whose untimely demise he would feel keenly and might wish to commemorate musically. Starting with the death of both his parents while he was still in his teens, reinforced by the sudden loss in 1930 of an especially close friend, confidante and kindred spirit, and continuing throughout the remainder of his life with the periodic loss of close friends, companions and fellow-artists, Poulenc’s life was marked by a succession of bereavements. Significantly, many of the dedications that head up his compositions are ‘to the memory of’ the individual named. As Poulenc grew older, and the list of those whom he had outlived lengthened inexorably, his natural tendency towards the nostalgic and the elegiac fused with a growing sense of what might be termed a ‘survivor’s anguish’, part of which he sublimated into his musical works. It should therefore come as no surprise that, during the 1940s, and in fulfilment of a desire that he had felt since the poet’s death, he should turn to Lorca for inspiration and, in the process, attempt his own act of homage in two separate works: the Violin Sonata and the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’. This exposition attempts to unfold aspects of the two men’s aesthetic pre-occupations and to show how the parallels uncovered cast reciprocal light upon their respective approaches to the creative process. It also examines the network of enfolded associations, musical and autobiographical, which link Poulenc’s two compositions commemorating Lorca, not only to one another but also to a wider circle of the composer’s works, especially his cycle setting poems of Guillaume Apollinaire: ‘Calligrammes’. Composed a year after the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’, this intricately wrought collection of seven mélodies, which Poulenc saw as the culmination of an intensive phase in his activity in this genre, revisits some of ‘unheard voices’ and ‘unseen shadows’ enfolded in its predecessor. It may be viewed, in part, as an attempt to bring to fuller resolution the veiled but keenly-felt anguish invoked by these paradoxical properties.
