Abstract:

Screen arts — cinema, television, multimedia — have become the dominant means of representing culture. Today, the screen hero is pushing the literary hero out of the cultural space. It occupies a leading position in audience reach and public awareness. Moreover, the screen hero is a mirror of culture and the result of reflection on how an artist (in our case, a director or screenwriter) sees, feels and understands a modern person. The article reveals the essential characteristics of the screen hero and the cultural hero as a more extensive phenomenon of which he is a part. We define their plac

Abstract:

This article discusses the claims of entitlement and processes of rendering a story tellable in early twentieth-century Soviet Union through a case study of the play Vavlyo Nyenyangg. The play was co-authored by Ivan Nogo and linguist Grigori Verbov in the context of the creation of a cultural and political intelligentsia, as well as a literature and other modern institutions, for Nenets, an indigenous community living in northern Russia and Western Siberia. In analysing the manuscripts of the play, the alterations made to it and its final, published version, the article argues that Nenets wri

Abstract:

Emiliano Zapata (1879––1919) died defeated and, in many quarters, despised. This article traces his resurrection and subsequent career as a textbook hero. It examines portrayals of Zapata in officially sanctioned primary school textbooks from the early 1920s to the 2001––2002 school year. These textbook accounts are considered in a dual context: the external political context in which the books are created and the internal narrative context of Mexican history as presented by official historians.

Abstract:

The paper suggests a typology of the cultural hero of sentimentalism, defining the basic features of his worldview. The archetypal figure of the cultural hero is a component of the myth designed to give people a clear explanation of the world and the rules for the ideology of collective identity. The cultural hero of sentimentalism embodies one of the most important paradigms in the value spectrum of the Age of Enlightenment, which is based on then-idealized ideas ofsensuality, heartfulness, and naturalness. The sentimentalist hero of the New Age is primarily a genius artist, a hero writer, a

Abstract:

This study examines the construction of hero archetypes in three significant Asian American literary works: Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, Chang-Rae Lee’s Native Speaker, and Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer. Through the theoretical framework of Yinyang philosophy and Jungian archetypal theory, the analysis explores how these texts develop complex hero figures that navigate between Asian and American cultural spaces. The study investigates multiple dimensions of archetypal construction, including the collective unconscious, authorial influences, cultural-historical contexts, symb

This article sets out structural challenges faced by social democrats in Europe in general and in Germany in particular, focusing on policies and voters, coalition politics, and questions about party organization.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of the cultural and socio-political situation in Ukraine in the 18th century. At that time the administrative and social transformations took place, and the ethos of the old Ukrainian Cossack’s culture was replaced by the imperial order. That cultural borderline allows us to understand the philosophical and life extraordinariness of Hryhorii Skovoroda. Instead of choosing one of these socio-cultural poles, he remained “on the edge,” in a state of transition or liminality, which made his position vulnerable but at the same time free from social stereotypes

The paper includes the analysis of such features of the chained hero as his ambivalence going back to the archetypal twoness; twins representing a positive character and that of the snake (dragon)

Abstract:

The article raises the question of the cultural landmarks of the heroes of the novel B.L. Pasternak “Doctor Zhivago”. As is known, the plot of the work takes place at the turn of the eras, and for some heroes this becomes an incentive to think about their cultural self-determination. Their actions and behavior model are directly related to the attitude to cultural reality described in the work, and sometimes even aimed at its transformation by practical, revolutionary methods. A certain catalytic role in relation to culture is one of the criteria of a cultural hero. From this point of view, a
