Abstract:
The research examines two epics, one from the East and one from the West with regards to the question of woman and her images in early epic literature. The epics were selected from the literature. The epics were selected from the literature of two cultures, both of which, in different historical periods produced the most advanced civilizations of their time. The Persian epic, The Shahnameh (the book of Kings) was tooted in the ancient Indo-Iranian pagan as well as Zoroastrian traditions, an epic of approximately 60,000 couplets rewritten in the tenth century A. D. in the final, completed from which has reached us today. The Greek exemplar was the odyssey of Homer, epic with which Greek literature begins and widely influences not only the later periods of Greek literature but also the entire Western literature; this epic is also widely known in the East. Central to our study of The Shahnameh and Homeric epics were the themes of dynamism, the individuality of characters and their struggles in the epic world, the resourcefulness of the human mind ascribed to them, the subject of human crises, and irony, all of which are deep-seated components marking the central literary qualities of these epics. Women are indispensable in the early epics of both traditions and more often than not highly regarded by epic heroes in general and the narrators of the stories in particular. In both Eastern and Western example the structure split the female image in two opposite directions: one force is represented by exalted, praiseworthy, and positive images which also endow the women of The Shahnameh and the Homeric poems with powerful characteristics.

Abstract:
The reason for the pride and richness of a language is due to the grammar and literature that have emerged in the eyes of that language. The epics occupy a significant place in those verses. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, considered to be the oldest epics in the world, have also been written in accordance with the epic tradition of that language. Indian language epics are also written within the epic tradition of the regional languages. These include the five great and minor epics that have appeared in the Tamil language; the Kamba Ramayanam, the Periyapuranam, etc. However, if we examine whether the Sangam literature, viz., the songs and the thokai, falls within the epic tradition, the Agam and Puram songs contain at least a few of the epic traditions of the Dandiya author. It can be seen that the majority of the epic elements have been matched in the Kalitthokai and the Pathuppaattu Songs. This study is intended to examine how the epic traditions have adapted to the song that has been taken up for the subject matter of the study. In particular, this study has revealed whether the epic grammar of the Dandiya author has been followed.

The epic tradition of the Rostov-Suzdal-Vladimir lands is considered in the light of the thesis concerning the «maternal», «colonial», «regional» and «local» metropolises of the formation of epics. Even though only fragments of the epic tradition have been recorded in the area, Vladimir Region was one of those territories where epics were originally shaped. Scarce mentions of Rostov and traces of Suzdal in the epic texts are analyzed. An overview of the few records of epics made in the Vladimir Region is provided.

Abstract:
In the context of improving school literary education at the present stage, it is of great importance to familiarize students with the spiritual values of world and domestic literature and folklore. In this connection, the study of the epic epos in the school course of literary education is very important. In it, the Russian people poetically correctly portrayed the heroic story of their life, expressed their aspirations, thoughts and hopes, worldly wisdom. Considering the enormous educational and upbringing significance of the epic epos, in the article the author provides methods and techniques tested in the real pedagogical process that contribute to the creative perception of epics, taking into account their genre specificity, the originality of artistic and poetic structures. The ways and methods of work recommended in the article are built taking into account the requirements of modern educational technologies and implemented on the example of studying the epic “Volga and Mikula Selyaninovich”. The author devotes 2 hours to study the epics of the Novgorod cycle. In this regard, the article provides a methodological system of the teacher’s work with a detailed description of the stages of each lesson. The first lesson is devoted to solving the following tasks: to expand the students’ ideas about the epic epic; to determine the thematic difference between Novgorod epics and Kiev ones; to give an overview of the content of the epics about Sadko and Vasily Buslaev. In the process of presenting the material, the teacher widely draws on the texts of the named epics. The second lesson is devoted to the textual study of the epic “Volga and Mikula”. In his introductory remarks, the teacher talks about the time of the formation of the epic, about the problems that worried the people. The lesson ends with work on artistic and poetic means, the originality of epic vocabulary. The relevance of the problem under study is due to the lack of a well-thought-out system for modeling lessons for the study of epics using information technology. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that in it this problem is subjected to methodological comprehension, taking into account the requirements of modern educational technologies.

Abstract:
In Uzbek literature, the study of epics of the genre “Mantiq ut-tayr” is associated with the study of Alisher Navoi’s epic “Lison ut-tayr” and has always been in the spotlight of experts. Mawlana Khoja Qazi Payvandi Rizoi (XVIII acp) was another writer who wrote in Turkish on the theme “Mantiq ut-tayr”. The only manuscript of the epic “Qush tili”(The Language of Birds) created by him is kept in the fund of the State Museum of Literature named after Alisher Navoi under inventory number 127. Rizoi Payvandi used the works of Jalaliddin Rumi, Fariduddin Attor, Abdurahman Jami in the creation of this epic, as well as carefully studied Alisher Navoi’s epic “Lison ut-tayr”. Because the comparison of Rizoi’s epic with Alisher Navoi’s work shows that in the plot of a number of stories in both epics we see the closeness to each other and in most places the artistic interpretation of the same story, which is characteristic of both creators.

Abstract:
The first epic to appear in Tamil was Silapathikaaram, composed by Ilangovadikal. It is an amalgamation of art, music, and drama. This is an epic that excels in language, content, literary style, and appreciation. Silapathikaaram is one of the twin epics that appeared in the second century AD. Faith is an expression of a person's inner feelings. Beliefs are created by people. The Epic explains what is happening in human life. Along with the mixture of fantasy, Silappathikaaram is an epic that embodies the epitome of human life. Beliefs are further developed by individual and community consciousness. Traditional beliefs are passed down from one generation to another over time. One of the hopes for human life can be said to be dreams. Beliefs have existed among people since ancient times. Every human being has different types of beliefs. Silapathikaaram is one of the best epics of femininity in the history of world literature. Beliefs influencing human life are also found in literature. The aim of this article is to examine the beliefs found in the first epic, Silapathikaaram.

Abstract:
Folklore is a unique art form. It differs from the written literature in its oral, traditional, varied, collective nature. That is, folk epics, which are an example of folklore, have many variants of their own. His text is not stable. These epics, sung by the bakhshis, differ from the epics, which are an example of written literature, in these aspects, that is, in their oral assimilation, oral performance, and oral heritage. These epics change in each performance as they are sung by the performer, the bakhshis. Because bakhshi is based on the law of live performance. Epic art, that is, the epics sung by the bakhshis to understand the essence of the content; it will be necessary to have a fuller understanding of the art of witchcraft. We can learn about the bakhshis from the epics they sang. Epics such as “Alpomish”, “Manas”, “Gorogly”, and the “Book of Dada Korkut” speak of the image of the bakhshi. This article deals with the artistic interpretation of the image of the epic creator in folk epics.

Abstract:
This thesis is a development of the theories presented by Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Bruno Bettelheim concerning archetypes, the anima/animus concept, the Hero Cycle, and identity development through fairy tales. I argue that there are vital rites of passage missing in Anglo-Saxon culture, and while bibliotherapy cannot replace them, it can help adolescents synthesize their experiences. The theories of Jung, Campbell, and Bettelheim demonstrate this concept by defining segments of the story and how they apply to the reader. Because of the applicability, readers, despite their age, can use the examples in the book to help reconcile their own experiences and understand life as it relates to them. The works I examine include J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, Orson Scott Card's Alvin Maker series, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy, and David Eddings' Belgariad. Though it is impossible to test the effects of reading such works on readers, the possibility of those effects exists. Bettelheim's work, The Uses of Enchantment, discusses similar themes and he provides scientific support through his use of anecdotal evidence. Following his example, I have tried to include evidence from my own life that exemplifies the effect reading epic fantasy has had on me. The aspects of epic fantasy in relation to going through adolescence I examine include the concept of responsibility and its relation to progress and maturity; gaining a social identity; and reconciling oneself to the dark side within and without, in society. These aspects are found within the superstructure of the Hero Cycle and the actions and motivations of the characters—archetypes—within the cycle. They are also present in real life and necessary concepts to understand to be accepted into society as a mature contributor.

Resumo: Esta dissertação apresenta uma leitura do poema anglo-saxão Beowulf a partir de leituras dos poemas homéricos. O objetivo é iniciar uma discussão sobre a natureza do paradigma heroico anglo-saxão confiando em parâmetros normalmente utilizados para discutir a natureza do paradigma heroico grego. Sendo a primeira literatura inglesa em geral menos conhecida ao público brasileiro, essa abordagem cruzada busca esclarecer os principais aspectos dessa literatura valendo-se de características análogas encontradas na mais conhecida literatura grega. Embora o estabelecimento de uma diacronia poética conclusiva entre as tradições grega e anglo-saxã seja impossível por causa da insuficiência de paralelos verbais entre o Beowulf e os poemas homéricos, o método comparativo se mostrou eficiente ao destacar que os protagonistas dos três poemas podem ser qualificados segundo parâmetros neutros comuns que não descrevem uma transformação diacrônico-poética, mas sim uma transformação histórico-social. Esse método evidentemente é sincrônico e a descoberta de que o Beowulf, devido a sua forma, é melhor analisado por meio de um método sincrônico é talvez a maior conquista desta pesquisa. Tanto esse poema quanto os poemas homéricos são oriundos da literatura oral, mas, enquanto esses buscam articular de maneira orgânica diversos mitos de uma tradição longeva e dedicada ao culto heroico, aquele busca glosar os principais mitos da tradição germânica do tempo em que foi composto, um tempo em que essa tradição já era dominada pelo cristianismo. Este estudo é essencialmente em teoria literária, mas confia grande parte de seus argumentos em uma metodologia que pertence igualmente à literatura e à linguística: trata-se do close reading, procedimento de análise textual preferido pelos helenistas contemporâneos, sobretudo os do meio anglófono. Adotando tal metodologia, esta dissertação busca chamar atenção para o pensamento desses helenistas e divulgar a literatura anglo-saxã de maneira didática, bem como aproveita para exercitar técnicas de hermenêutica filológica e literária que são as mais atualizadas dentro dos estudos clássicos e amplamente úteis aos estudos literários em geral
Abstract: This dissertation presents a reading of the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf based on readings of the Homeric poems. The objective is to initiate a discussion about the nature of the Anglo-Saxon heroic paradigm relying on parameters normally used to discuss the nature of the Greek heroic paradigm. Because the first English literature is in general less known to the Brazilian public, this crossed approach tries to enlighten the main aspects of this literature by making use of analogous characteristics found in the better known Greek literature. Although establishing a conclusive poetic diachrony between the Greek and the Anglo-Saxon is impossible due to insufficient verbal parallels between Beowulf and the Homeric poems, the comparative method was found efficient for evincing that the protagonists of the three poems can be qualified following neuter and common parameters that do not describe a diachronic-poetic transformation, but rather an historic-social one. This method is, evidently, synchronic and the discovery that the Beowulf, due to its form, is better analysed by means of a synchronic method is perhaps this research¿s greatest achievement. This poem and the Homeric poems are products of oral literature, but, while the latter try to organically articulate many myths of a long-lived tradition dedicated to hero cult, the former tries to gloss the most important myths of the Germanic tradition by the time it was composed, a tradition already overwhelmed by Christianity. This study is essentially one in literary theory, but a great part of its arguments relies on a methodology that is as literary as it is linguistic: close reading, the procedure of textual analysis preferred by contemporary Hellenists, especially those from the Anglophone academic milieu. By adopting such a methodology, this dissertation calls attention to these Hellenists¿ thoughts and discloses the Anglo-Saxon literature in didactic fashion. It also takes this opportunity to exercise techniques of literary and philological hermeneutics that are state of the art in Classics and widely useful for literary studies in general

Abstract:
This project delineates a cultural history of modern Hinduism in conversation with contemporary Indian literature. Its central focus is literary adaptations of the Sanskrit epic the Mahābhārata, in English, Hindi, and Bengali. Among Hindu religious texts, this epic has been most persistently reproduced in literary and popular discourses because its scale matches the grandeur of the Indian national imagining. Further, many epic adaptations explicitly invite devotion to the nation, often emboldening conservative Hindu nationalism. This interdisciplinary project draws its methodology from literary theory, history, gender, and religious studies. Little scholarship has put Indian Anglophone literatures in conversation with other Indian literary traditions. To fill this gap, I chart a history of literary and cultural transactions between both India and Britain and among numerous vernacular, classical, and Anglophone traditions within India. Paying attention to gender, caste, and cultural hegemony, I demostrate how epic adaptations both narrate and contest the contours of the Indian nation.

O objetivo principal deste trabalho é investigar sobre a permanência do gênero épico na contemporaneidade, a partir da leitura e análise das seguintes obras: Uma viagem à Índia, de Gonçalo Tavares, Viva o povo brasileiro, de João Ubaldo Ribeiro, A odisseia de Penélope, de Margaret Atwood e A odisseia de Homero (segundo João Vítor), de Gustavo Piqueira. O trabalho parte da premissa de que, assim como todo paradigma consagrado, na contemporaneidade, o épico é retomado e modalizado em diferentes gêneros formando novas configurações. Assim, focaliza o relacionamento que as obras do corpus estabelecem com as matrizes clássicas e seus procedimentos estilísticos, temas e motivos. Ao utilizarem o gênero épico como paradigma, todos os escritores estabelecem um relacionamento intertextual explícito e ambíguo com as matrizes épicas clássicas. A partir da referência a elas, eles promovem sua desconstrução e subversão e evidenciam seus vieses, ora questionando, ora reafirmando sua viabilidade e importância nos dias de hoje.
The main aim of this work is to investigate about the permanence of the epic genre in contemporaneity by analyzing the following works: Gonçalo Tavares s Uma viagem à Índia, João Ubaldo Ribeiro s Viva o povo brasileiro, Margaret Atwood s A odisseia de Penélope, e Gustavo Piqueira s A odisseia de Homero (segundo João Vítor). This thesis departs from the point that the epic genre, like any other established paradigm, is and modalized in diferente genres, forming new configurations. Therefore, it focuses on the relationship that the works in the corpus entail with the classical matrix and its stylistic procedures, themes and motifs. All the writers studied establish an ambiguous and explicit intertextual relationship with the classical epics. Departing from the reference to them, they promote their deconstruction and subversion, evidencing their biases, both questioning and reinforcing their viability and importance nowadays.

Abstract:
This dissertation explores the afterlife of the Western epic tradition in the poetry of the United States of America after World War Two and in the wake of high modernism. The ancient, Classical conception of epic, as formulated by Aristotle, involves a crucial, integral opposition between ethos, or character, and mythos, or the defining features, narratives, and histories of the world through which ethos moves. The classical epic and its direct line of succession, from Homer to Virgil to Dante to Milton and even to Joel Barlow, uses the opposition between ethos and mythos to create literary tension and drive. In the first half of the twentieth century, however, Ezra Pound upended this tradition dynamic by attempting to create a new form of epic in which mythos, not ethos, was the principal agonist, and in which large-scale aspects of the political, literary, and economic world struggled for survival on their own terms, thus divorcing epic from its traditional reliance on ethos. Chapter One explores this dubious revolution in terms of Pound’s larger project of breaking away from his nineteenth century forbears. The remaining chapters comprise three case studies of the divergent ways in which later twentieth century poets sought to salvage something of the traditional epic dynamic from the ruin wracked by Pound and his acolytes. Chapter Two explores John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs, an epic-like poem that models itself subtly on Dante’s Commedia while placing a profound and deliberate emphasis on ethos even at the expense of mythos. Chapter Three explores Robert Lowell’s career-long effort to expose the terrifyingly inexorable nature of mythos, constructing an inconceivably enormous presence against whom character and divinity alike struggle in vain. Finally, Chapter Four examines Adrienne Rich’s early and middle years as an attempt to outline and enact a politically and socially efficacious means by which ethos might finally overcome mythos and liberate itself not only from the recursive historical traps of Pound, modernism, fascism, and patriarchy, but also from the literary history and tradition that lured humanity into believing that those traps ever existed. Berryman’s intervention in the epic tradition is heavily literary and overtly personal; Lowell’s is cynical, apocalyptic, and descriptively political; and Rich’s is revolutionary and messianic. Together, these three poets represent a meaningful sampling of the afterlife of the epic tradition in late twentieth-century America.

Abstract:
This paper examines lecture notes of the Korean writer Pak Kyong-ni, the author of the multi-volume epic novel Land. This notebook of lectures has not been studied in Russia and has not been translated into Russian, but its contents are included in the elective course called Features of Pak Kyong-ni’s artistic worldview, which is read to senior students of the Department of Korean Studies at St. Petersburg State University. The writer outlined all the most important points for understanding her creative path and expressed her thoughts about the purpose of literature. From this point of view, it is interesting to examine the author’s views against the background of the historical and socio-cultural context of that period (early 90s of the last century) and to identify both the universal and author’s vision of literary creativity. The study is relevant due to the growth of scientific and public interest to modern South Korean literature and to the problems of intercultural communications.

Full text
Abstract:
The article analyzes the novelistic work of E. Katishonok. In her novels the author adheres to his own aesthetic program, essentially realistic and postmodern in form. Katishonok, in the spirit of postmodernist trends, affirms the reality of consciousness that transforms life “close to the text,” which becomes clearer in the endings of novels, in which the image of the subject of speech / “a creative person” appears. References to previous texts become markers of aesthetic convention and at the same time serve to destroy it. In addition, the genre-specific dynamics of the texts on which the author relies (fairy tale - epic - novel), reflecting the process of individualization of the subject of speech in the narrative over the centuries, coincides with the evolution of the image of the narrator in her novels.

Rudenko, M. S. "BULGAKOV AND SHOLOKCHOV IN THE LITERARY CRITICISM OF THE FIRST WAVE OF RUSSIAN EMIGRATION." In VIII International Conference “Russian Literature of the 20th-21st Centuries as a Whole Process (Issues of Theoretical and Methodological Research)”. LCC MAKS Press, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.29003/m3725.rus_lit_20-21/194-198.

Full text
Abstract:
The question of how the first wave of emigration evaluates the works of Bulgakov and Sholokhov is far from simple. While Bulgakov is perceived by emigrants as a Soviet, or at least “sub-Soviet” writer, such definitions are not given to Sholokhov. It is obvious that Sholokhov is perceived as a writer of the first rank, a singer of the Cossacks, and the creator of a wide epic canvas. The completely socialist realist “Virgin Soil Upturned” also receives a fairly positive assessment. At the same time, critics are obviously biased towards Bulgakov. He is valued as a satirist, but his position in “The White Guard” and especially in “Days of the Turbins” is regarded rather as Soviet, and his objectivity is sometimes interpreted as slander. If Sholokhov is perceived almost without criticism, then critical arrows fall on Bulgakov not only from Khodasevich and Adamovich, who seem to be quite unanimous on this issue, but also from a number of connoisseurs of Russian literature.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper describes a study that was undertaken to simulate impacts on laminated float glass/polycarbonate/float glass panels using the Johnson-Holmquist (JH-2) model for brittle materials and the EPIC explicit finite element code. The simulation results are compared with observed impact results obtained by others. The JH-2 model was originally successfully calibrated to treat impact on thick monolithic glass slabs. In this study recent spall strength data for glass reported in the literature was used to revise the JH-2 model for application to thin laminated glass panels — a system of wide technical interest. The JH-2 coefficients developed were further validated by comparison with an additional independent data set obtained from the literature involving glass rod impact data. A good fit to both data sets considered was produced suggesting that the revised JH-2 coefficients proposed are reasonable.

Murad, M. Hassan, Stephanie M. Chang, Celia Fiordalisi, Jennifer S. Lin, Timothy J. Wilt, Amy Tsou, Brian Leas, et al. Improving the Utility of Evidence Synthesis for Decision Makers in the Face of Insufficient Evidence. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepcwhitepaperimproving.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Healthcare decision makers strive to operate on the best available evidence. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program aims to support healthcare decision makers by producing evidence reviews that rate the strength of evidence. However, the evidence base is often sparse or heterogeneous, or otherwise results in a high degree of uncertainty and insufficient evidence ratings. Objective: To identify and suggest strategies to make insufficient ratings in systematic reviews more actionable. Methods: A workgroup comprising EPC Program members convened throughout 2020. We conducted interative discussions considering information from three data sources: a literature review for relevant publications and frameworks, a review of a convenience sample of past systematic reviews conducted by the EPCs, and an audit of methods used in past EPC technical briefs. Results: Several themes emerged across the literature review, review of systematic reviews, and review of technical brief methods. In the purposive sample of 43 systematic reviews, the use of the term “insufficient” covered both instances of no evidence and instances of evidence being present but insufficient to estimate an effect. The results of the literature review and review of the EPC Program systematic reviews illustrated the importance of clearly stating the reasons for insufficient evidence. Results of both the literature review and review of systematic reviews highlighted the factors decision makers consider when making decisions when evidence of benefits or harms is insufficient, such as costs, values, preferences, and equity. We identified five strategies for supplementing systematic review findings when evidence on benefit or harms is expected to be or found to be insufficient, including: reconsidering eligible study designs, summarizing indirect evidence, summarizing contextual and implementation evidence, modelling, and incorporating unpublished health system data. Conclusion: Throughout early scoping, protocol development, review conduct, and review presentation, authors should consider five possible strategies to supplement potential insufficient findings of benefit or harms. When there is no evidence available for a specific outcome, reviewers should use a statement such as “no studies” instead of “insufficient.” The main reasons for insufficient evidence rating should be explicitly described.
