Abstract:
The Dominican Priest from Bern, Ulrich Bonerius, composed his collection of fables, Der Edelstein, at exactly the same time when Boccaccio created his collection of tales, Decameron, 1350. Even though there is no direct evidence of any kind of personal contacts between these two poets, the strong similarities between both works in formal and conceptual terms prove to be striking. This article illustrates the reasons why we would be justified to call Bonerius, more than just playfully, a German-language Boccaccio, since he created the first major compilation of narratives (in verse), framed by a prologue and an epilogue, in the history of late medieval German literature. While Boccaccio has ten story-tellers entertain each other over ten days (ten stories per day = 100) reflecting on eroticism, love, adventures, or anti-clericalism, Bonerius offers one hundred didactic fables illustrating human failings, shortcomings, and vices. Both contemporaries thus aimed at criticizing and improving their society through surprisingly similar literary means. Bonerius thus emerges as one of the most important fourteenth-century poets in the German tongue who deserves to be placed close to Boccaccio.

Abstract:
En 1941 la poeta dominicana Aída Cartagena Portalatín tiene la oportunidad de conocer al poeta surrealista André Breton. Este, recién llegado a Santo Domingo luego de haber estado en Martinica, le hablará a ella y a los demás componentes del grupo poético de la “Poesía sorprendida” de un poeta extraordinario, Aimé Césaire, y de la poesía de la négritude. Años después, Cartagena Portalatín recordaría este encuentro como ‘inolvidable’. El presente trabajo se propone un análisis de los elementos relacionados con la negritud que Cartagena Portalatín reelabora en su poesía a partir de 1961. Los resultados de dicho análisis permitirán ofrecer una interpretación de la relación que la poeta mantuvo con la negritud en relación con el contexto cultural e ideológico dominicano del siglo XX.

Abstract:
Scholars have typically studied Chicanas/Latinas in the US and African American women separately. However, this paper explores both the cultural appropriation of Afro-Latinas’ bodies in the US and the strategies they employed to reclaim their bodies and agencies through Elizabeth Acevedo’s novel, The Poet X. The protagonist’s body is simultaneously and paradoxically hyper-sexualized by racist discourses, and called to chastity by the patriarchal Catholic doctrine presiding over her Dominican community. Nevertheless, I argue that the protagonist makes her body a site of activism as she re-appropriates the agency over her body by moving from a self-imposed invisibility and silence in order to try to avoid the hyper-sexualization of her incipient curves, to a non-objectified visible position through her sexual desire, self-representative embodied narrative, and performance of her slam poetry.

Abstract:
There are many names of wives of writers, poets, scientists and politicians in the world’s history. They were assistants, who inspired their husbands contributed to their success. Dominica Ohiienko (1882-1937) is one of these wives. Thirty years of Ivan Ohiienko’s life she was his faithful friend, mother of his children and inspiration in his job. The paper observes the underestimated and unknown in the research literature re-lationships in the family of the famous ukrainian statesman, religious fi gure, scientist, interpreter and publisher Ivan Ohiienko. His wife Dominica Ohiienko was always on his side, but very modest, stayed in the shadow.The scientistic novelty of the paper is the fi rst attempt to study the creation of the prominent scientist through the prism of family, devoted wife and great mother. The aim of the paper is to research and to study the epistolary developments of Ivan Ohiienko, to elucidate the little-known details of the Dominica Ohiienko’s biography, to investigate her role as rewrites, critic, co-author in Ivan Ohiienko’s con-structive and research process and to investigate the peculiarities of the Ohiienko’s creation. The correspondence, literary works, little-known unexplored details of biog-raphy, which help to defi ne the unknown facts of life and developments of the couple are introduced in the literary usage for the fi rst time.Scientist signifi cance of the paper is the fact, that Dominica Ohiienko had a huge role in the developments and works of her husband Ivan Ohiienko. As soon as Suche understood that the creation of her husband are the great gift for Ukraine and the whole ukrainian nation, Dominica Ohiienko became indispensable helper of Ivan Ohiienko. Her contribution in the creative work of her husband is underestimated. There were written and published over the thirty textbooks, manuals, dictionaries, tables for stud-ying Ukrainian language for each stratum of society during their matrimony. Despite of the huge amount of obligatios as rector and minister, Ivan and Dominica Ohiienko transferred the speech of Taras Shevchenko literary works to the 200 thousands cards with comments and explanations in Kamianets-Podilskyi. Moreover they investigated the ukrainian typography, published the magazine «Ridna Mowa», scientifi c-literary magazine «Nasha Kultura» and many more.

Abstract:
Abstract Kurdish has been written in many different scripts throughout history. One of these alphabets is the Syriac alphabet. The texts written with this alphabet are called Kurdish Garshuni texts. David Barzane (Dāwíd Bareznāyā) was a 19th-century Chaldean Church clergyman and poet. The autograph manuscript containing his poems in Classical Syriac, Neo-Aramaic and Kurdish is preserved in the Collection of Syriac Manuscripts of the Dominicans of Mosul. One of the two Kurdish Garshuni poems in this manuscript has already been published with transcription and translation. In this article, another unpublished poem is transcribed and translated. However, by focusing on the literary and cultural interaction between the Christians who speak Neo-Aramaic and the Kurds, it is to be drawn attention to the close relationship between the forms of poetry and style of performance in both traditions.

Abstract:
Cette these concerne la presentation d'un poete hispano-americain au cours de son evolution poetique: domingo moreno jimenes (1894-1986). Son oeuvre est consideree comme le point de depart de la nouvelle poesie de son pays, la republique dominicaine. Tout d'abord, ce poete fut influence par le mouvement modernismo, il cultiva alors les differentes formes canoniques et mania les vers avec efficacite. En 1921 moreno, mecontent de la rhetorique classique, crea le postumismo qui fut le premier mouvement poetique de la litterature dominicaine. Ce mouvement proclama la liberte complete du vers (vers-librisme) et revendiqua les themes et motifs propres au terroir et a la culture dominicaine. Le posthumisme" est un postmodernismo. Moreno, ainsi que les poetes mariano lebron savinon et alberto baeza flores participerent a un nouvel essai poetique en 1943: los trialogos. Il s'agissait de traiter la poesie en tant que matiere tridimensionnelle", exercice proche d'une experience surrealiste. La poesie de moreno evolue ensuite vers un discours ontologique et metaphysique revelant le poete-philosophe. Les themes de sa poesie sont: dieu, l'esprit, le sens de l'existence, l'au-dela, la mort. Lepoete s'interroge, reflechit, medite. Ses vers auront souvent, jusqu'a sa mort parvenue en 1986, un ton prophetique et oraculaire, sentencieux et mystique.

Full text
Abstract:
Composers Libby Larsen and Dominick Argento have each written song cycles based on the texts of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Larsen's Sonnets from the Portuguese, for soprano and chamber orchestra, is a setting of six of the forty-four poems from Browning's amatory sequence of the same name. Argento's Casa Guidi, for mezzo-soprano and orchestra, is a setting of excerpts from letters written by Browning, primarily to her sister Henrietta, during her years in Florence. This study examines the two composers' images of Browning, and how those images are portrayed through choice of text and musical setting. The image of Browning depicted in Larsen's cycle is that of a woman who moves from a fear of love to an acceptance and embracing of it. The love that she comes to know is a love that recognizes the necessity of moving on in spite of unresolved issues. This image was gleaned from Browning's sonnets by Larsen and soprano Arleen Auger, who worked closely together to create a cycle that would speak of mature love, in contrast to the youthful love in Schumann's Frauenliebe und -leben. Three of the six sonnets in the cycle are analyzed for Larsen's use of compositional devices that reinforce the themes of the recognition and acceptance of love and of trust in non-resolution. The texts chosen by Argento were based on his desire to depict the feminine and vulnerable aspects of Browning during her years in Florence. Although the letter excerpts are not arranged in chronological order, they accurately reveal a woman who delighted in her home and family. The last three of the five songs are examined to show how Argento's careful text setting and use of orchestral color and motives enhance Browning's words and the overall mood of the letters.

Dans ce contexte, les différents pouvoirs en présence - seigneurs, communauté urbaine et fabriques - matérialisent leur influence dans le bâti - château, murailles, églises et hôtels-Dieu, objets de travaux constants du XIIIe au XVe siècles. L'organisation des chantiers, de la décision à la mise en œuvre, varie en fonction de l'institution donneuse d'ordre. Les processus décisionnels, la direction et le suivi des travaux sont exposés pour les chantiers religieux, hospitaliers et castraux. La question des matériaux - approvisionnement, origine et qualités -permet de conclure à une bonne exploitation des ressources locales. Les artisans du bâtiment, majoritairement originaires des environs, font preuve d'une grande polyvalence et d'une bonne maîtrise technique transmise au sein de l'atelier familial

Dominick Argento (b. 1927) is one of the most distinguished vocal composers in America in the twentieth-century. His song cycle “Six Elizabethan Songs” was commissioned by tenor Nicholas Di Virgilio and written for high voice and piano in 1958. Argento selected six lyric poems from five Elizabethan poets’ works, and used diverse compositional methods to express the text. This set of songs continues to be one of his most popular vocal works. This paper will discuss the following topics: an overview of American art song in the twentieth-century, the biography of Dominick Argento and his music style in art songs, literature in the Elizabethan Period in general, and the analysis of both music and poems, as well as suggestions for interpretating “Six Elizabethan Songs”. The purpose of this study is to explore how Argento made use of musical devices to express the English prosody and the artistic conception in six poems. Through such efforts, the author sincerely expects to perform the best of this set in the future.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the ambivalent nationalism evident in the celebration of the first national Dominican poet, Salomé Ureña (1850-1897). Studying poems, letters, speeches, and essays by Ureña and some of her contemporaries, the chapter contends that the strong desire for Ureña’s poetry coexisted with the elite’s generalized assumption that the ideal citizen subject was a white man. It argues that Ureña’s embodiment of Dominican nonwhiteness combined with her status as a respectable woman allowed Dominicans of the intellectual and ruling elite to satisfy two intertwined impulses: to construct a national identity that could explain Dominican difference from Haiti, and, as such, justify a seat at the global table; and a tacit acceptance that a nonwhite woman such as Ureña could only be considered “the muse of the nation” because Dominican territory had a history of black freedom and leadership.

Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.22455/978-5-9208-0684-0-62-90.

Full text
Abstract:
The Speculum Historiale” — the fourth volume of the encyclopaedia of Vincent of Beauvais, called the “Speculum majus” — comprises a narrative of world history from the creation of the world to the middle of the 13th century. In the chapters of “The Speculum Historiale”, which refer to ancient authors, Vincent depends heavily on the second part of the chronicle of Eusebius of Caesarea, preserved in the Latin translation by Jerome. Using the chronology of this work and also numerous mentions of ancient authors by Eusebius, Vincent and his collaborators supplemented these elements with excerpts from other books and integrated all of them into the volume of “The Speculum Historiale”. Thus, the volume comprises a great variety of materials having either a direct or sometimes indirect relation to literature. Writers, philosophers, other authors appeared as individuals significant in the history; their works became equal in importance to the principal historical events. Materials related to literature or culture form separate chapters, or a series of chapters: the history of culture is presented as part of history in the broad sense of the word, without completely coinciding with it. The article discusses the sources of chapters about Aesop and some other Greek poets, as well as Horace, Virgil, Plautus and Terence. These texts can be divided into three groups: some of them met the needs of Dominican preachers, they were processed according to Christian guidelines; others conveyed the testimonies of earlier ancient writers, which have not lost their significance today. And the third group transmitted medieval ideas about some authors and genres. This diverse material and the place that it occupied in “The Speculum Historiale” allows us to trace how the contours of the history of literature become discernible in the framework of history. A few centuries later, in the first volume of the “Histoire littéraire de la France” (1733), the same contours become more apparent: although the history of literature acquires the status of an independent discipline here, its close connection with history determines both the general purpose of the book and the content of many chapters.

Abstract:
Burke became involved with West Indian issues at the very beginning of his political career. The brief Rockingham administration of 1765–6 was committed to measures to improve flows of trade around the British Atlantic, of which the West Indies was a crucial component. As the prime minister’s secretary, Burke was deeply involved in these measures. The main problem which they sought to remedy was the inability of the British West Indies to produce commodities needed in other parts of the Atlantic in sufficient quantities. These commodities were principally sugar and raw cotton for Britain and molasses for British North America. The remedy chosen was to allow foreign supplies of these commodities to enter the British system through what were called free ports in two British islands—Dominica and Jamaica. Burke was particularly influential in the provisions of the act relating to Dominica, whose ports were intended to draw in produce, especially raw cotton, from French islands that the British had occupied during the war. In return, they would export British manufactures and slaves to foreign colonies. Getting the act through Parliament required the careful balancing of interests, notably those of the North American colonies and of the West Indies. Burke was in the thick of these negotiations, forming many contacts with merchants. The act, by letting in foreign produce to British islands, marked a significant breach in the hitherto sacrosanct doctrine of imperial self-sufficiency.

Abstract THE participation of women in higher education is patchy, passionate, and peculiar because we are living through a period in which vigorous reforms are taking place with a view to establishing fair or equal chances in what remains, despite many slights and denials, one of the most attractive careers for women in paid employment in modern society. In one sense the establishment of an equal position for women in teaching is relatively easy in that such posts are culturally assimilable to the traditional ‘caring’ role of women in the domestic economy. Leonora Davidoff and Catherine Hall have written a beautifully detailed portrait of the role of the bourgeois wife in keeping her husband ‘on stage’ in a business career from behind the screen in the family home (Davidoff and Hall 1987). Historically, an educational career was one of the obvious paths out of domesticity into professional life for Victorian women. Marriage was, of course, the culturally favoured career. The nurse and the governess were relatively respectable alternative positions in society, while actresses, courtesans, and prostitutes were ancient but more or less scandalous, ‘deviant’ cultural figures.

Abstract:
Abstract IF we follow Max Weber we learn that classes are formed out of distinct market and work situations. The market position of academics in many countries, including Britain, has been increasingly defined since the end of the First World War by the power of the State as a monopsonistic employer. This does not mean, as for example in modern Germany, that dons have been official civil servants. Nor does it mean that work situations have been directly dictated by a central minister acting as the agent of government. Such developments were a threat largely unheeded until the 1970s. Threat has begun to approach reality only in the past decade with new legislation curtailing tenure. Over a longer period restriction on the proportion of senior posts in universities has reflected State financial interests and was a point of chronic conflict between the UGC, the CVCP, and the AUT from after the Second World War. The third component of class formation—autonomy of working conditions—is, however, different. Without it the still longer-run tendency towards proletarianization is accelerated, and the process is possible under State management as much as free market conditions because, as Weber insisted, the bureaucratic form of organization facilitates if it does not positively require it. It is this fundamental aspect of academic work that we consider in this chapter.

Abstract:
Abstract In a brief introduction the author maintains that Augustus broke with the tradition of the late Republic and adopted a fundamentally defensive policy, making annexations only when it seemed necessary for security, to round off frontiers. He then systematically reviews the allusions to foreign policy in the poets. He assumes that all were supporters of the regime and representative of public opinion. Yet before 20 B.C. all had envisaged far-flung conquests, especially of Britain and Parthia, and had supposed that Augustus would fulfil Rome’s mission to exercise dominion without limit in space or time. The Parthian settlement in that year should have undeceived them.
