Museums are digitizing their collections of 3D objects. Video games provide the technology to interact with these objects, but the educational goals of a museum are often at odds with the creative forces in a traditional game for entertainment. Efforts to bridge this gap have either settled on serious games with diminished entertainment value or have relied on historical fictions that blur the line between reality and fantasy. The Vessel project is a 3D game designed around puzzle mechanics that remains a game for entertainment while realizing the benefits of incorporating digitized artifacts from a museum. We explore how the critical thinking present in solving puzzles can still encourage engagement of the story the artifacts have to tell without creating an historical fiction. Preliminary results show a preference for our in-game digital interaction over a traditional gallery and a desire to learn more about the artifacts after playing.

AbstractInteractive digital narrative (IDN) is an umbrella term used to encompass the various formats of digital narrative such as hypertext fiction, transmedia stories, and video games. The study of IDNs transverses the disciplines of narratology, game studies, and media studies. The main question this article addresses is how does the digital medium affect narrative in cultural heritage websites? This question is examined by proposing a new communication model that considers the role of digital media — the Creator-Produser Transaction Model — and adapting existing “tools” of narrative analysis into a “narratological toolkit” for the study of non-fiction IDNs. The transaction between creators and produsers and how an IDN narratological toolkit can be applied are exemplified through the analysis of three cultural heritage websites: Open Monuments (“Otwarte Zabytki”), Belgian Refugees of 1914–1919, and Storymap.

Mashkhur Zhusip Kopeyuly is a poet born in the era of historical socio-economic and socio-political transformations. He made a huge contribution to the formation, development and expansion of the artistic space of Kazakh written literature. The relevance of the idea of the younger generation about the cultural and literary heritage and the personality of the folklorist, who reliably described the socio-political state of Kazakh society, who managed to capture the breath of the era, is undeniable.The scientific problems of the article are related to the study of the cultural and literary heritage of Mashkhur Zhusip in the context of the program “Rukhani Zhangyru”. Methods of scientific research used: collective method (collection of scientific facts, scientific information), interpretation, description, conceptual analysis, comparative analysis method, etc.Systematization of the heritage of Mashkhur Zhusip and its study are promising areas of research of the Kazakh national cultural code. The proof of this is the publication of 20 volumes of works by Kazakh writers and poets collected by Mashkhur Zhusip.Since independence, significant results have been achieved in uncovering “white spots”in art, including fiction. Nevertheless, it is known that not allancient manuscripts are systematized. This is the basis for conducting an additional study of the literary heritage of the past.

Full textAbstract:
The essay proposes a common spectrum of noir detective fictions emerging in the countries of the former Soviet Bloc. Accordingly, it substantiates the assumption that similar political, social, cultural, economic threats and opportunities contributed to the preservation of a certain air de famille among the genre productions of the countries of the area even after the fall of Communism. The common Communist heritage of genre fiction, cinema, and television is synthesised in three main categories: Cold War “noir” and Socialist “grey”, alternative noir, and popular noir. The crime & detection dimensions of the EU phase of the evolution of East-European countries are equally organised in three clusters, called retrospective noir, introspective noir, and prospective noir.

AbstractAt a time when the American popular imagination is dominated by fun-house refractions of Arabs and Muslims as the ultimate "other," it is critical that these images be counterbalanced by unmediated, first-person, authentic reflections of the real-life experiences of writers of Middle Eastern heritage. This is where fiction and narrative non-fiction occupy a privileged position, creating an intimate, expansive space for empathy and identification, and serving generality through specificity.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to explore the intertextual dialogue and its meaning that is continuously articulated as cultural heritage in the prose of the well-known Canadian writer Jane Urquhart. By including the famous Victorian poet Robert Browning in the plot of her short story "The Death of Robert Browning," Urquhart highlights the postmodern tendency to express the basic human need to mythologize and perpetuate illusions about death. In a broader context, as an author from Canada, she emphasizes the difference between reality and fiction by revising historical facts through various textual interactions and revisions that help to construct an entirely new literary world freed from the psychological influence of British heritage in the context of Canadian culture. The story "The Death of Robert Browning" demonstrates a literary procedure in which a real person was placed at the center of the plot and his fictional life, which continued less than a hundred years after his death, served to allow readers to experience the real character of a historical figure in a special way. Thus, we get a completely new text in which all the sensibility and syncretism that the poet himself reflected are imprinted, but also a text in which the boundaries between values, rules, and prohibitions disappear and in which the mixture of reality and fiction gives way to the classical vision of the text.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on the US migratory novel and the reasons it has been overlooked in literary scholarship. It is emphasized that the study of migration experience is important as it represents the worldview of historical subjects who, although they contributed a lot to the building of the New World, always existed on the margins of both real life and fiction. Literary scholars concentrated on the fictional images of colonizers, builders of a new world order, pioneers, farmers, cowboys, but not immigrants as such, although all these identities of American history were rooted in the migration experience, whether of their own or of their parents or grandparents. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the genre of the American migratory novel, which is underrepresented in literary criticism, and to identify the connection between migration literary discourse and the ideological regimes of specific historical periods. Nevertheless, migratory fiction serves as a powerful tool for negotiating narrow group representations within the larger receiving community. By depicting the experiences, challenges, and aspirations of migrants, it offers a platform to explore the complexities of cultural identity, displacement, and assimilation. Migratory fiction challenges the dominant narratives and stereotypes imposed upon migrant communities, seeking to humanize their stories and promote empathy and understanding among the receiving community. These narratives navigate the fine balance between preserving the unique cultural heritage of migrants and engaging with the broader context of their new surroundings. They challenge existing notions of national identity, fostering a more inclusive and diverse understanding of what it means to be American. A perspective for further research is the analysis of migration experience in literary writings and its correlation with developments in other fields of humanities. As migratory fiction expands our horizons, encouraging us to embrace and celebrate the multifaceted nature of diversity in all its forms.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the article is to study and characterise the available sources and projects of digitisation and virtualisation of P. Kulish’s epistolary heritage on the websites of the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (hereinafter – VNLU) to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of Ukraine. Research methods. The work uses a set of scientific methods based on an interdisciplinary approach, which includes analytical (for analysing electronic resources and the Internet), historical (for tracing the process of digitising P. Kulish’s manuscript heritage), information and library science aspects. Scientific novelty. Kulish studies (a scientific discipline that studies the life and work of P. Kulish) are widely represented and introduced into scientific and information circulation thanks to the electronic resources of the VNLU. The electronic resources are filled with the digitized documentary heritage of P. Kulish: a small part of his epistolary works, fiction and scientific works, photographic documents, and VNLU reference books, which contain information about the funds where the writer’s paper documents are stored. The created digital objects of P. Kulish’s epistolary works are an integral part of the digital cultural heritage. Conclusions. P. Kulish’s epistolary heritage is not digitised to the full extent to which it is presented in paper form and requires an urgent digitisation process. Ukrainian society is deprived of the opportunity to freely use the national heritage in the form of P. Kulish’s epistolary heritage, which is a historical source and generally identifies Ukrainians as an original nation with an authentic cultural heritage. Today, the formation of an informative electronic environment aimed at highlighting national achievements is the main strategic task for the development of not only the leading library institutions of Ukraine but also public policy in general.

Full textAbstract:
Due to historical ill-fate, Georgia found itself cut off from European civilization and culture for a long time. The catastrophe caused by the fall of Constantinople in the 15th century placed Georgia under an aggressive Islamic siege, posing a mortal threat to the existence of its nation-state and at the same time cutting the spiritual and cultural arteries that historically connected Georgia with Europe. The process of “re-Europeanization” (Siradze, 2008, p. 213) was first systematically revealed in the Georgian writing of the so-called “transitional century” (the turn of the 18th-19th centuries) and spread in all spheres of life throughout the 19th century. It should be emphasized that for our leaders, Europeanism was essentially not a matter of social-cultural orientation or vector, but the return of Georgian culture to its native bosom, native living and mental space, the restoration of the natural path of development. The 19th century saw great interest in Europe and its literature. The term "Europeanism" has been established since the 1850s. As for the content of the term itself, when defining the essence of Europeanism, we rely mainly on the point of view of Friedrich Nietzsche that Europe, as a term denoting culture, refers to those peoples who have a common past with the Greek and Roman civilizations, in the form of the Bible and Christianity. If we take into account Nietzsche’s definition and compare it with the history of Georgia, it is easy to see that we really have reason to call ourselves Europeans. First of all. The present work is aimed at studying and fully presenting the history of European-Georgian relations; the role and significance of translation, journalism and fiction in bringing Georgia closer to Europe; the turning of the viewpoint of Georgian society towards European ideals and the struggle for the establishment of the cultural traditions of Europeanism.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article presents three interdisciplinary and community-serving museum projects carried out by the Portuguese Judiciary Police Museum (Museu de Polícia Judiciária – MPJ), two of which are based on original ideas and unprecedented procedures. All three of them are ‘out of the walls’ crime prevention projects for the protection of Portuguese cultural heritage. The first project (starting in 1996) was dedicated to museums, the second (2003) to religious art in places of worship, and the third (2007) to the Portuguese unique and identitary Tile Heritage. The common genesis of the three projects is rooted on the one hand in two competencies of the Portuguese Judiciary Police (Polícia Judiciária, PJ) - crime prevention and crimes linked to cultural heritage – and on the other hand in museum concepts emerged in the last fifty years in museum studies - e. g. Declaration of Santiago do Chile 1972, ICOM Round Table; ‘Siena Charter’ ICOM Italy 2014; new museum definition ICOM Prag 2022. The three interdisciplinary projects – based on important partnerships from different academic areas and society sectors – are described in this article in terms of motives, implemented actions and results, and a final summary evaluation. Notwithstanding the severe financial conditions – all three projects had extremely small or even nonexistent budgets - and many not always surmountable obstacles, all three projects presented measurable positive results, and two of them received important national or international awards and were ‘exported’ to Brazil as models.

Full textAbstract:
In Les Visions de la nuit dans les campagnes (1851–1853), George Sand responded to the French government’s newly announced project of collecting the ‘popular’ or folk songs of France, with a critique of their methods of collection as perfunctory. Sand was adamant not only about a more rigorous approach to amassing the nation’s folk songs but also about the inclusion of the music with the lyrics, and her concise, insightful critique of archival methods came after nearly two decades of her own occupation with rendering music in her fiction and, more immediately, a decade focused on folk music in many of what are known as her ‘rustic’ novels. In particular, I bring to the fore in this article discussions in Sand’s expansive novel Consuelo; La Comtesse de Rudolstadt (1842–1844) which both insist upon the historical, cultural and personal significance of the preservation of folk music and navigate the tensions of preserving an art form that is fundamentally non-static and ephemeral, in order to articulate the value Sand places on musical sensibility, memory and heritage. I argue that Les Visions de la nuit dans les campagnes stands along with Sand’s fiction as an ardent defense against the loss of the musical heritage of provincial France in the hands of the state’s archivists. This article thus situates George Sand’s investment in the cultural production from the Berry region within the early history of nineteenth-century music ethnography in France, while maintaining Sand’s own understanding of her cultural production as poetic rather than scientific.

 This article brings into conversation two pieces of Indian Ocean fiction about women, a Banaadiri wedding song, called ‘Waa Guuriheeynnaa,’ and Cristina Ali Farah’s published work A Dhow is Crossing the Sea. I interrogate what constitutes female kinship, coastal identity, cultural heritage, and the ties between these phenomena through a comparative analysis of the two texts. I assess how both works express kinship between coastal women and the ways in which their Indian Ocean and local cultural identities become embodied forms of knowledge. I then explore the differing ways that women in ‘Waa Guuriheeynnaa’ and A Dhow is Crossing the Sea use material culture as an act of female community making. I argue that in both literary works, women’s bodies carry cultural meaning. However, while in ‘Waa Guuriheeynnaa,’ it is through women’s bodies that Banaadiri Indian Ocean culture is expressed, affirmed, and continued, in A Dhow is Crossing the Sea, coastal women’s bodies attest to a more uneven and contested Indian Ocean and diasporic heritage that registers historical losses as well as their everyday lived realities.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the research on ontological poetics and its synergistic basis knowledge. The results of theoretical and methodological studies of synergetics are based on universal approaches to solve philological problems and creating models for the interpretation of ontological poetics. The new model of reading, analysis of the subtextual layer in future will serve as a methodological basis for the interpretation of the immanent problems in the process of self-development of the artistic text (system). Synergistic paradigms increase the practical significance of philological research as a fundamental basis of ontological poetics. Ontology poetics expresses the deep layers of the relationship of the universe and man which form the basis of being. This approach, to the artistic text, reveals the original meanings of metaphors, studies the author’s worldview. The ontological approach is closely related to traditional text methods. A synergistic text is one of a series of indefinable, indirect, subtle, transcendental meanings that are not defined in linguistic terms of lexemes and represents a set of opposing relations and processes. This implies the need for an ontological approach to the analysis of literary text. Embodiment of the original meaning in the artistic text, which are symbols of the ontological world view and characteristics of the historical and cultural heritage, they are expressed in the strongest, most intense context and spatial-temporal events in which they move (life and death, love-hate, truth-deception existence-absence). The linguistic and metaphorical meanings of expressions are combined with the cultural heritage of the era. The study of poetic ontology of subtext is considered as an important approach to the interpretation of Sufi literature.

The article will focus on the life and fiction of Mukhtar Auezov, as well as on the course of writing and translating into Russian the epic of the novel “The Way of Abai”, reflection in the literary, cultural, artistic criticism of the state of Russia, which is our neighboring state, about the media space of the world. Russian publication of the novel “The Way of Abai”, written by the great man M. Auezov, is hotly discussed in Russian literature. A theoretical analysis of the views of Russian literary critics on the professional requirements of literary criticism was also carried out. To date, this topic is one of the most relevant, which has been little studied. In recent years, especially during the period of independence, Russian literary studies have been considering various scientific studies and historical cognitive works, new materials based on other archival documents, new approaches to texts, opportunities for new examinations. Numerous research papers and scientific books, historical documents, etc. have been published about Mukhtar Auezov's “The Way of Abai”. Currently, up-to-date information in social networks, electronic channels, M. Auezov was considered in comparison with scientific conclusions, historical data related to the established Abai studies. Mukhtar Auezov is a classic of Kazakh literature in his research work. The evaluation of the poet's artistic image in the novel “The Way of Abai”, given in Russian literature, was analyzed in a comparative form from today's point of view.

Full textAbstract:
Epistolary fiction, often thought of as an eighteenth-century phenomenon, enjoys considerable vitality in our time and has attracted much welcome critical attention in recent years. The focus, however, has been on selected aspects of the epistolary tradition, to the neglect of others that are part of its rich history. At the same time, discussions of C. S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters (1942) have generally concentrated on its theological, moral, and satirical aspects, with little consideration of the generic identification declared in the book's title. Attention to its striking affiliations with the epistolary tradition in fiction sheds light on Lewis's artistry in the work, on current critical discourse concerning epistolarity, on Lewis's social and cultural criticism, and on his contributions to critical theory. In the present study, selected aspects of the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century epistolary tradition are briefly surveyed; then, matters of setting, plot, characterization (especially), and handling of viewpoint in The Screwtape Letters are considered, as well as its widespread debts to the literary heritage and its relationship to Lewis's own contributions as a literary scholar and critic. Attention is given to the implications of Lewis's original preface which has recently been discovered.

Full textAbstract:
Mamang Dai is an acclaimed poet and novelist, hailing from Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. She was awarded the prestigious Padma Shri in 2011 and has also received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 2017. Dai traces her ancestral heritage to the Adi tribe. As an author, she has mastered a diversified body of works, including poetry and non-fiction. The present paper aims to analyse two of her novel: The Black Hill (2014) and Escaping The Land (2021). This paper aims at tracing the elements of change and modernity in the two chosen texts, primarily revolving around Northeastern identity. The paper showcases how this identity has gone through various tumults and turmoil nonetheless, it also posits a rich cultural and ancestral heritage and takes pride in its unified tribal foundations. This paper then concludes that to sustain this identity, Northeastern heritage and culture must be given an equal and dignified importance as is imparted to national interests.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the work of Italian American fiction writer Joseph Papaleo in the context of suburbanization, globalization, and ethnic heritage and identity. In doing so I demonstrate that Papaleo's fiction provides understanding of how Italian Americans have looked at Italy as they experienced the alienation of a consumer culture. Papaleo's fiction presents a mixed nostalgia for what Italy represents and recognition that it, too, like the United States, confronts continuous auto-dependent sprawl. Papaleo adds a suburban focus to the more frequently urban-centered literature of Italian Americans and he adds an ethic perspective to the predominantly Anglo American literature of the suburbs. His 1970 novel Out of Place depicts a materially successful Italian American, Gene Santoro, who cannot fill a deeper spiritual need in either the United States or Italy.

Since Jhumpa Lahiri has been regarded as a second generation Indian immigrant living in the United States. This has made her fully aware of the cultural mixing between India and America. This paper focuses on the process of mimicry and decolonization of Indian immigrants who live in the United States. Lahiri’s fiction Interpreter of Maladies reveals cultural identity, mimicry and decolonization that the immigrants experience while living in the target culture. This paper applies Homi Bhabha’s concept of mimicry and Frantz Fanon’s concept of decolonization to explore three short stories in Lahiri’s fiction Interpreter of Maladies namely; “When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine” , “Mrs. Sen’s” and “This Blessed House”. The study concludes that some characters in these stories mimic the American culture as a result of their interaction with the Americans due to work or for being born and raised in America. Their imitation involves culture, tradition, language and religion. While, other characters decolonize and resist the American culture by rejecting everything related to this culture, in order to adhere to their original Indian identity and keep ties with their heritage.

Full textAbstract:
A hologram is described as a 'screenless display' that provides a realism and three-dimensional effect as if seeing a real object, and refers to a technology that implements a three-dimensional stereoscopic image using laser light. These holograms are currently being used in various cultural industries such as performances, exhibitions, and advertisements. In particular, pseudo-holograms such as floating techniques are mainly used in the cultural heritage exhibition field. However, pseudo-holograms can implement the same effect as holograms that show virtual 3D images in the real world, but there are still practical and technical limitations in satisfying audiences who want perfect 3D images like those seen in science fiction movies. The hologram, which is attracting attention as a future high-value-added imaging technology, can naturally reproduce real or virtual objects in a three-dimensional space as if they were real. In addition, holography technology is expected to lead the growth of the immersive content industry in the future by improving the technical limitations of the current augmented reality(AR) or virtual reality(VR). Therefore, if the current holography technology is gradually improved and supplemented with hologram screen, hologram printing, and plenoptic visualization technology, it is expected that the field of digital heritage contents and exhibitions using hologram will further develop in the future.

Full textAbstract:
H.P. Lovecraft created an original mythology that has not only become science fiction and fantasy classics, but also determined horror genre development in general. In his literary works, Lovecraft used images derived from both ancient religious traditions and contemporary western esotericism, filling his imaginary worlds with mysterious cosmic creatures. The writer’s cultural and historic environment played a very important role as the cultural landscape of New England and theosophical concepts widespread at that time had a great impact on the author’s work and writing. The original “mythology” invented by Lovecraft later played a key role in development of some new religious movements. Besides, Lovecraft’s mythology and images are reflected in the modern popular culture. The paper analyzes Lovecraft’s works and religious motives that are used or reflected in them, cultural factors that influenced the writer and Lovecraft’s heritage place in occult concepts, practices and subcultures of today.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last 20 years, the Indian diaspora in the USA has suddenly come of age, numerically as well as economically. This growing confidence can be seen in the literature written by writers of Indian origin settled in the USA. Shunning sentimentality and overt nostalgia, this latter-day diasporic writing is laced with humour and a critical though affectionate tone directed towards their Indianness. Foremost among these voices is Jhumpa Lahiri. Pulitzer Prize winner Lahiri is the author of two novels and two short story collections. Deeply attached to her Indian heritage, yet wanting desperately to assimilate into the cultural melting pot of American society, Lahiri’s fiction is suffused with a complex biculturalism. With Jhumpa Lahiri’s fiction at the centre, my article will focus on this tug-of-war of alienation and assimilation that is at the heart of every immigrant experience.

This article regards a literary journey as a representation of the diversity of the world, perceived by a person in the process of his physical or virtual movement in geographical space, conveyed in literary form. One of the most important grounds for the typology of literary journeys is the idea of relationship between real and fictional subjects and objects included by the writer in his narrative. According to the relationship between reality and fiction, literary journey is divided into four main types: real travel in the real world; composed (invented) journey in the real world; a fictional (invented) journey in a quasi-real world; a fictionalized journey through a fantasy world. Literary journeys differ in their volume, nature and variety of information contained in them - from travel diaries, which indicate the time and place of stay on the route, the nature of the activity is fixed, a brief description of natural and cultural landscapes, cities and villages is given to literary works, which present author's interpretation of information about real and fictional objects, events, characters that the author or his characters have to deal with during the journey. Among the most important characteristics that can be taken into account when developing a typology of literary travels, a special place is occupied by temporal parameters: the duration of travel, its position in historical time and its relationship with time cycles – natural and social. Literary journeys cover a wide variety of spaces – from outer space to small local territories, which, it would seem, cannot be correlated with our idea of travel. Literary travels can become the basis for identifying new cultural heritage sites. All of these concepts can be used when considering literary travels. In fact, each literary journey is characterized by a certain route, uses various types of roads, paths, other territories and water areas that provide the possibility of movement, and becomes one of the components of the historical path.

Full textAbstract:
A brief survey of Indian Short Fiction in English indicates that there is a wide scope for its study. Manoj Das has presented a serene and simple way of life of rural community in India in his fiction which is rapidly disappearing. He is one of the foremost short story writers in Post-Independent India and an outstanding bilingual writer both in English and Oriya at ease. He depicts very effectively and skillfully the way of life of people living in villages, their values, norms, beliefs, attitudes, traditions, customs, superstitions, religion, etc., in his stories. He is a keen observer of the changing socio-political and cultural scenario in the post independent India. The stories of Manoj Das are so subtle and suggestive that they have a concealed element of didacticism, a zeal for social reform as he is keenly interested in fostering and promoting the qualitative life of the rural people of India. Hence, in this paper I presented my views and opinions from Indian perspective keeping in mind the life of the rural people with all their day to day activities and problems as portrayed by Manoj Das. In spite of their penury, the cultural values and conventional ways are not given up. Thus, the author preserves the rich Indian cultural heritage in spite of his depicting the follies and foibles of human life.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the phenomenon of palimpsest intertextual links, which are capable of acting as “cultural codes”. Initially, the sourceological notion of “palimpsest” was transferred to the sphere of narratology to characterise multi-layered plots, which were encountered in Pushkin’s works, but are most significantly represented in Boris Pasternak’s novel “Doctor Zhivago”. The article draws attention to the fact that in the field of performative fiction writing (in lyrics) the palimpsest organisation of the text also occurs and can be very effective. Examples from the poetic heritage of Pushkin, Blok, Mandelstam, Pasternak, Brodsky, etc. are pointed out.

Full textAbstract:
The article is dedicated to the study of the literary mirror game with the cultural heritage in the Frank Einstein books by Jon Scieszka. The Frank Einstein books were first translated and published in Ukraine in 2019. This article is the first investigation of the Frank Einstein series by J. Scieszka as a literary game. Six Frank Einstein books (“Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor” (2014), “Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger” (2015), ‘Frank Einstein and the BrainTurbo” (2015), “Frank Einstein and the EvoBlaster Belt” (2016), “Frank Einstein and the Bio-Action Gizmo” (2017) and “Frank Einstein and the Space-Time Zipper” (2019)) demonstrate vivid examples of the literary game in the contemporary children’s literature from the positions of the author as a game creator and the reader as a game opponent. J. Scieszka was born in 1954 in Flint, Michigan, USA. The future writer received a varied education. He attended the military academy, then studied English and pre-med at Albion College for his B.A., and in 1980 received a master's degree of Fine Arts in fiction writing at Columbia University. After graduation J. Scieszka worked as a teacher at an elementary school. Teaching schoolchildren, Jon re-discovered how smart they are. School children turned to be the best audience for the weird and funny stories he had always liked to read and write. The books by Jon Scieszka are based on recognizable archetypal plots and iconic characters, which are not presented to the reader in a conserved form, but focused on the current stage of culture and science development. The writer cheerfully and humorously manipulates well-known plots, rewrites established ideas, and interprets familiar literary themes, motives, characters, etc., presented in world-famous science fiction, well-known to the modern young reader. J. Scieszka says that he got his ideas from other books, his kids, kids he had taught, kids he had learned from, watching movies, playing with his cat, talking to his wife. He also includes allusions to his favourite writers – Cervantes, Kafka, Borges, Pynchon, Sterne, Barth, Heller (Scieszka, 2014). J. Scieszka uses a repertoire of prominent scientific and literary samples in his work, such as the character of the scientist Frankenstein by M. Shelley and the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, the inventor and businessman Thomas Edison, a fictional character Dr. Watson in the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the primatologist Jane Goodall. There is a mechanism of mirror doubling in the system of characters: Frankenstein and Frank Einstein, Albert Einstein and Al. Einstein, Klink and Klank, and the complex mirror refraction of Frank Einstein and Watson as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Frank Einstein and T. Edison as Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty. The article analyses the well-known literary and scientific achievements that acquire a mirror replay in the books about Frank Einstein. The researcher concludes that the books by J. Sciezska are a source of vivid emotional experiences and motivation for serious readers’ reflection. The author of the article draws attention to the fact that the play field created by J. Scieszka is a product of accumulated cultural content, which activates the human tendency to imitate, assimilate and repeat. This game is a form of conscious assimilation and processing of the universe of intangible and material artifacts, objectified actions and relations created by mankind in the process of mastering nature.

Objective. The objective of the article is to study the components of the influence of cultural differences on literary translation; analyze the problems that arise when translating culturally specific elements and propose methods and strategies used to achieve accuracy and adequacy of literary translation. Methods. The main scientific results are obtained with the help of such methods as the analysis and generalization of scientific and educational and methodological literature on the problems of literary translation; system analysis; combination of cultural and logical methods in research; separation of subsystems of complex objects and their systematic analysis, an integral approach to the study of linguistic phenomena. Results. Based on the latest research, the article provides new ideas and approaches to solving problems related to the rendering of cultural differences in the process of fiction texts translation. The authors emphasize the importance of the dissemination of literary works among the representatives of other cultures, namely: transfer of cultural heritage; increasing the level of intercultural understanding; expanding the audience of recipients; preservation of literary value. Cultural differences require a translator to have a deep understanding and sensitivity to different aspects of culture. This allows us to preserve and transmit not only the linguistic content, but also the wealth of cultural heritage, which is an integral part of artistic works. Therefore, understanding cultural characteristics and context is important for accurate and adequate translation of literary works. The following requirements for this type of translation are noted: accuracy of the transfer of values; adaptation of the cultural context; transfer of nuances and styles; respect for cultural identity. Considerable attention is paid to methods and strategies used to convey cultural information in translation: selection of equivalent cultural elements; explanation and adaptation; specification and generalization; localization; contextual translation. The authors conclude that modern trends and challenges in literary translation require translators to take into account cultural differences, intercultural collaboration, use of new media and the development of cultural sensitivity.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on ethnographic and semiotic observations made by the author on the microblogging platform Tumblr, this paper argues that C.S. Lewis’ critical literary heritage, particularly his reflections on the psycho‑aesthetic, imaginative value of ‘Kappa’ (hidden / cryptic) elements in fiction, retains its relevance today and can provide analytical insights to contemporary media and cultural analysts. A brief empirically‑informed argument will be presented, building on material extracted from a loosely‑woven community of ‘nostalgic’ bloggers. Their collaborative use of hypermedia, including literary citations, illustrations, animations and photographs, will be analysed, in an attempt to understand the Romantically-informed emotional and historiographic construction of ‘nostalgic’ visual discourse, as represented throughout this specific digital environment.

Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on Pakistani Fiction in English as a useful tool for language learners to improve their language skills, understanding of culture, and intercultural competence. The discussion shows the vast cultural diversity and linguistic ingenuity evident in Pakistani anglophone texts, enabling learners to participate with authentic language use and get a deeper understanding of Pakistani society. This paper also examines the practical implications of introducing these texts into language classes, highlighting the need for context-based activities, critical thinking exercises, and discussions to promote language competency and cultural sensitivity. Overall, this study reveals that Pakistani anglophone texts offer a significant and underutilised resource for language learners mainly at the undergraduate levels, increasing linguistic competence, cultural appreciation, and cross-cultural communication skills. By combining these materials into the language curriculum, educators can give learners a more comprehensive and interesting language learning experience that represents the rich linguistic and cultural terrain of Pakistan. This paper also assesses the obstacles present in using Pakistani writings in English for language learning objectives. It concludes that the measure will go a long way in decolonising the English language curriculum in Pakistan while empowering learners not only linguistically but also strengthening their cultural identity. By embracing a decolonial perspective, educators may create a more inclusive, relevant, and empowering learning environment that prepares students to navigate a globalised world while honouring their local heritage.

Full textAbstract:
There had been relatively little interest in a narrative of female individuation within mythology. Revisionist myths and legends in contemporary literaturehave thus addressed issues of women’s identity and autonomy while redesigningthe gendered spaces in these cultural narratives. The need for alternative mobility arcs within the cultural imaginary was also recognized for adolescent girls in their quest for subjectivity.This paper thus explores two works of children’s fiction, viz. Sayantani Dasgupta’s Game of Stars(2019) from the Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond series and Roshani Chokshi’s Aru Shah and the End of Time (2018) as coming-of-age immigrant narratives where young girls undergo heroic adventures restructuringIndian mythology and Bengali folktales. Dasgupta’s Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond series intertwines intergalactic science and Bengali folktales, mostly from the Thakumar Jhuli (1907), meshing different fairy tale characters aidingthe adolescent female protagonist Kiranmala, who isa neotericgutsy counterpart of the warrior princess in Dakshinaranjan Mitra Majumder's fairy tale collection.At the same time, Roshani Chokshi’s Aru Shah fantasy adventure series celebrates the Indian heritage of Hindu mythology (particularly the Mahabharata) in the diaspora, while empowering young immigrant girls to imagine and undertake non-normative feminist voyages.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This essay investigates how Irish heritage—during the long historical epoch of British colonization—figured into the literary works of Frank Yerby and Henry James. Autobiographical connections and literary affinities between these authors are illuminated and contextualized by, among other published sources, the posthumous collection of essays by the latter novelist’s father, The Literary Remains of the late Henry James (1884). While scholars are newly investigating intersections between Henry James’s oeuvre and African American literature, Yerby’s enormously popular fiction has remained by and large estranged from this new direction in Jamesian studies. When read alongside Henry James, Sr.’s unfinished autobiography featured in the Literary Remains and related nonfictional texts, Yerby’s first novel and commercial best-seller, Foxes of Harrow (1946), seems to share an eerie amount in common with both the James family’s history and their humble Irish origins. Moreover, Yerby’s narrative curiously parallels the cross-racial solidarity the Jameses were regularly credited for in the one hundred years following the American Civil War.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted using idioms in translating Japanese and Turkish fiction book into Uzbek language. This article analyses Japanese phrases and discusses methods of translating them. As a comparison, Russian and Turkish alternatives of some phrases are given as well. This article also emphasizes how idiomatic expression can illustrate delicate meaning of cultural heritage and uniqueness of the nation. Some proposals which have been put forth by the article and scientific deductions might be helpful for effectively translating the text. Obviously, there are many elements of cultural uniqueness in all fiction books and there have been problems during the translation. In order to solve these problems it requires great deal of talent which is not easy to gain. It can be easily seen in phraseological units which represent traditions, social life and customs of one particular nation. Because rebuilding phrases requires not only special approach but also distinguish those phrases among one thousand words. Moreover, translating them into another language comprehensively is very complex process. It requires to know about Uzbek and Japanese languages’ different original constructions of many phrases in completely different roots and this prioritizes to be careful with ethology of phraseological units and learning source thoroughly. In the following article authors focused on problems of translating phraseological aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Modern social processes (globalization, urbanization, digitalization, succession of generations and others) actualize public and scientific attention to students’ reading culture, reading practices and their various aspects (gender, social, economic, and others). The issue of culture of reading, reading practices, their features and structure is a topical and relatively under-developed topic of interdisciplinary analysis. These phenomena are considered in sociology within the framework of some concepts: as a separate type of practice in the process of personal literacy formation, through the connection of cultural heritage and social class, through the analysis of subjective and existential meanings of the reading experience, and others. It is interesting to study the reading practices of students due to the specificity of the subject-object role of this social group in the process of cultural intergenerational continuity. The article highlights the results of an empirical study conducted among students of Moscow universities. Two types of students’ attitudes to works of fiction are revealed: pragmatic and value-reflective. The characteristics of these two groups are given, compared with other indicators (love of reading, reading as pleasure, volume of reading, genres of fiction, and others). The main conclusions and results presented in the publication will be of interest to teachers, scientists, representatives of state and public organizations and specifically to students.

Full textAbstract:
Fantasy and science fiction genres extensively use imaginary settings and locations different from realistic ones but striving to look real. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, pioneers of the science fiction genre in Russia, actively exploited the potential of both genres in their early tale, Monday starts on Saturday (1964), which combines features of the two space types. The present paper analyses the principles of creating ‘mago-space’ in the book. To do so, we look at the spatial organization of the events involved in the plot and the personages’ ideas regarding space. The research will enable us to clarify the role of space in conveying the authors’ message, which in this tale is quite explicit. We argue that the space changes significantly within the book, accompanying genre transformations and the development of the protagonist. Since the tale uses ‘mental sublocations’ as the main units of spatial organization, each part is determined by a certain type of cultural heritage. In the first part, it is the mental space of folklore and classical literature, in the second – that of mythology and science fiction, and in the final – philosophy and science. Mental spaces that coexist and follow various laws form a narrative which turns out to be a journey to the described present in the variety of its forms.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Recent scholarship has drawn attention to the impact of war, occupation, and the Holocaust on Stanisław Lem's literary work. This article attempts to further explore this subject. Its aim is to show how Lem in Powrót z gwiazd [Return from the stars, 1961] depicts the return from space travel as analogous to coming home from war. This analogy is based on a complex interplay between the science fiction narrative on the one hand and references to the Homeric epic poem The Odyssey on the other. The article highlights some peculiarities of this intertextual fabric of Return from the Stars. From this point of view, the science fiction work forms, in Adorno's term, a “constellation” with the epic tale. In this constellation the science fiction narrative exposes in its transtextual interplay with the Greek tradition the deheroization of the hero as well as the ambiguities of a biopolitically organized society in the future. With the transtextual reassessment of the mythical narrative and the emerging literary representation of an odyssey without homecoming, Lem's novel exemplifies a fundamental dismantling of positivity. Seen from this angle, the science fiction novel can be situated in the context of postwar Polish literature which in its attempts to come to terms with the traumatic experiences of war and occupation challenges or even rejects a cultural heritage of traditions and values that have—in the wake of World War II—lost their immanent value.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The early twentieth century reforms in China gave rise to the issue of renovating fiction that profoundly influences collective consciousness. Chinese translators started actively addressing foreign fiction, including classic Russian literature. Goals. The study attempts an insight how Chinese reading audience’s interest in Russian classics — and particularly in the works of Nikolai V. Gogol — would take form and develop. Results. As for the reasons behind the Chinese translators’ appeal to Russian classical literature, the paper notes those are associated with the huge political and social changes in Russia after the October Revolution. The latter facilitated that Russian literature has firmly entered the cultural space of China, having yielded strong impacts on both readers and Chinese writers. The May Fourth Movement not only marked the beginning of a new era in the history of twentieth century China, but also served as an impetus for the development of new Chinese literature. The works of N. Gogol began to occupy a special place in this cultural space. Since 1920, when N. Gogol’s first work was published in a Chinese magazine, attention to his literary heritage has grown significantly. The translation activities of Qu Qiubai, Geng Jizhi, Ren Guangxuan, Bai Sihong, Bai Chunren and many other associates contributed to the widespread interest in N. Gogol’s works all across China. These efforts were paralleled by literary studies of the writer’s fiction techniques and style. The 1950s witnessed a ‘pause’. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, articles dedicated to N. Gogol disappeared from Chinese newspapers and magazines, but already in the 1970s publications about his works started reappearing. Since the 1990s, the research of Chinese specialists into N. Gogol’s narratives has become far more profound and diverse, and this work will continue, since Russian classical literature has had — and still does — a great influence on the development of contemporary Chinese literature.

Identification of names of plant curatives and substances in folk and fiction texts shows close interactions between man and the world, attitudes of people towards nature. Research in phytonyms and medicinal plant names proper is most essential for the understanding of a nation’s cultural heritage. The paper examines the lexeme балтырған in Bashkir discourse. Materials. The analyzed materials include linguistic dictionaries, folklore and fiction texts of the Machine Fund of the Bashkir Language, and etymological dictionaries of Altaic languages. Goals. The study aims at a comparative investigation of the lexeme балтырған ‘hogweed’. Results. The term proves a widespread phytonym in Bashkir discourse, which is attested by that it denotes a wide range of plant species in Bashkir and has parallels in other Turkic and Mongolic languages. The lexeme is included in academic, explanatory, dialectal, phrasal, and mythological dictionaries of the Bashkir language. The comparative analysis shows that baltyrγan ‘hogweed’ usually denotes a plant of the order Apiales, a medicinal herb. Baltyrγan~ baltirγana contains the initial bal / baltïr / baldïr with the meaning ‘green, young, fresh’.

Food is fundamental to French identity. So too is the denial of structural racism and racial identity. Both tenets are central to the nation’s self-definition, making them all the more important to think about together. This article purports to identify and critique a form of “French food Whiteness” ( blanchité alimentaire ), that is, the use of food and eating practices to reify and reinforce Whiteness as the dominant racial identity. To do so, it develops four case studies of how law elevates a fiction of homogenous French/White food as superior and normative at the expense of alternative ways of eating and their eaters—the law of geographical indications, school lunches, citizenship, and cultural heritage.

Full textAbstract:
This article contains a discussion of the Minangkabau language greetings in the text of creative work. This discussion is a case study of how the Minangkabau greeting is used in modern Indonesian fiction of the local Minangkabau color and in the text or lyrics of popular modern Minangkabau songs. The word Minangkabau greeting, especially those that are semantic in the text of creative work, is used in certain situations that are closely related to factors of narrative, ethnicity, and kinship. Several types of semantic-style greetings are found in self-names, kinship, traditional titles, educational outcomes, positions, deeds, other greetings, and figures of speech. The use of Minangkabau greeting words in the text of creative works can be viewed positively because the text of creative works has indirectly functioned as (1) the documentation system for naming systems in the Minangkabau language, (2) the maintenance and development media for intangible cultural heritage in the form of Minangkabau language greetings . The maintenance and development of this intangible cultural heritage is important in view of the advances in science and technology, as well as the opening of the globalization stream which allows the tradition of using greetings in the Minangkabau language by the successor generation due to the influence of modernization and the lifestyle of modern (urban) societies.

Full textAbstract:
The role and place of ancient intellectual heritage (fiction, mythology, historical works, political and philosophical treatises) in the formation of the intellectual landscape of Ukraine during the late Enlightenment are presented and analyzed. The purpose of the work was to find out the methods of assimilation and instrumentalization of the culture of Antiquity in the Ukrainian intellectual environment. The research methodology is based on intellectual history approaches aimed at identifying the mechanisms of formation and structures of the intellectual landscape of certain cultural areas. The presentation of the main material is aimed at the representation of the process of reception of the texts of the Antiquity era in the spiritual-cultural and social-political space of Left Bank Ukraine. Algorithms for assimilation of the ancient heritage have been identified: studying in domestic and foreign institutions, forming one’s own libraries, getting acquainted with the texts of ancient authors in the original and through the work of European educators. The personnel potential of Ukrainian translators of ancient Greek and ancient Roman works was determined, the repertoire of translations of ancient authors and their thematic priorities were clarified. It is emphasized that the appeal to Antiquity was determined both by the pan-European cultural discourse of the Age of Enlightenment and by the peculiarities of the regional social and socio-economic situation. Representatives of the Ukrainian intellectual elite used the plots, images, and styles of Antiquity as a tool for developing and justifying strategies and tactics for the protection of national interests in the process of integration into imperial structures. Conclusion. Ancient heritage in the second half of the XVIII – at the beginning of the ХІХ century became an important cultural resource in the formation of the intellectual landscape of Left Bank Ukraine. This was due to the prevailing cultural discourse of the Enlightenment, the available personnel potential, and the social and aesthetic demand of the ancient heritage. Her patriotic pathos was actively used to defend the special status of the Motherland as part of the empire, to create a national elite socio-cultural space. Classical heritage has become an effective means of status positioning and an instrument of career strategies of the educated classes. Crisis of the Enlightenment Paradigm at the Edge of the XVIII–XIX centuries created the conditions for rethinking Antiquity in the categories of modern times («Aeneid» by I. Kotlyarevskyi). Its use as an important factor in the intellectual landscape ended at the time of the birth of the modern Ukrainian ethnic project.

Full textAbstract:
The motif of journey constitutes one of the most important cornerstones of both postcolonial literatures and science fiction narratives, the latter of which owe a significant debt to the essentially colonial origins of the genre, thus inviting postcolonial practices of reimagining and writing back. For that reason, the following article aims at an examination of the peculiar ties between the postcolonial theory and science fiction, in order to discuss how speculative fiction allows for an in-depth analysis of the contemporary diasporic condition and the issues of memory and cultural identity, in the context of a dialogue with contemporary diaspora studies and postcolonial studies.The motif of the journey, then, understood both in literal and metaphoric terms, becomes the point of departure for a discussion concerning the ways in which the experiences of migration and diasporic existence influence the subject’s identity as well as their relationship with the culture and language of the country of their ancestors.To this end, the paper aims at a thorough analysis of the ways in which Larissa Lai, in her novel Salt Fish Girl, engages in a discussion regarding the contemporary condition of diasporic communities, proposing a new perspective on the complicated relationship between diasporas, their past and ancestral heritage as well as their language, and the motif of journey, understood both spatially (as a journey from one place to another) and temporally (as a journey back to the roots or the impossibility of going back). Employing postcolonial theory as well as the theory of science fiction as the methodological framework, the paper argues that for Lai, the journey of one of the incarnations of the protagonist, Nu Wa, to the Island of Mist and Forgetfulness constitutes an extended metaphor for the experience of Chinese immigrants in Canada. The motif of journey is inextricably tied here with the practices of remembering and forgetting, crucial for diasporic communities, as well as the constant search for a new, hyphenated identity in the new reality. Moreover, Lai suggests that such a journey constitutes a traumatic experience for the individual, which results in the loss of access to ancestral heritage as well as the language and the necessity of accepting one’s liminal condition, which contributes to the feeling of alienation and rootlessness.

The article explores the image of the Otrar library – one of the most famous places of historical memory of the Kazakh society. We traced the genealogy of this image and its reflection in 4 identified narratives of historical memory: academic (scientific), media (public history, fiction, media), folklore and official (state). The reasons for the popularity of this image, starting from the second half of the twentieth century, and the role of the scientific and creative intelligentsia in the reinvention of the historical subjectivity of the Kazakhs in the process of Soviet nation-building and the anti-religious campaign of 1958-1964, when in order to preserve the cultural heritage of medieval monuments of Central Asia within the framework of the concept autochthonism and “the struggle for progressive folk traditions”, local elites intensified archaeological research, reception and development of this heritage, derived from the classification of “religious” to the definition of “folk”. During this period, the image of medieval urban culture begins to form as a chronotope of the golden age in the historical memory of Kazakhstan society. It is there that the Great Silk Road is located, a developed urban culture, the great and tragic pages of Otrar, the Second Teacher of the world - Al-Farabi, the actualization of whose biography largely revived interest in Otrar and influenced the emergence of the image of the Otrar library in the historical memory. There, urbanization ceases to be a modern problem and becomes a cultural heritage. Within the framework of the article, the mechanisms of formation and overcoming of the cultural trauma of "non-historicity" of the sedentarized nomadic culture by the Kazakh national intelligentsia of the 1950s-1960s were studied. The Otrar library, as a place of historical memory, plays the role of the argument of the “lost enlightenment” in these narratives.

Since ancient times, numbers have played an important and multifaceted role in human life. In many cultures, especially in the Islamic one, individual numbers were given special significance. In this regard it is necessary to study the origin of so-called sacred numbers, which have been an important aspect of Islamic cultural heritage. The present research paper focuses on the semantics and meaning of "three", "seven" and "forty" which have become sacred numbers due to objective and subjective factors. An analysis of the use of a group of sacred numbers in Islam was researched. Also, the meaning of sacred numbers in everyday life was investigated. As a result of the comprehensive study, we can admit that special properties of sacred numbers lies in the law of creation. Special attention was paid to show the role of sacred numbers in revealing the artistic merits of works of fiction, as well as the peculiarities of their use in religious heritage. It is obvious that the main scientific conclusions drawn by the authors will be a renewed impetus, particularly for young researchers to develop new ideas in this field.

In September 2004, the Museum of Brisbane, Museums Australia and the Centre for Public Culture and Ideas at Griffith University hosted a symposium, ‘Cities and Museums’, at the university's Southbank campus. This event initiated a conversation among museum professionals and academics from across Australia. Nick Winterbotham, from Leeds City Museum, and Morag Macpherson, from Glasgow's Open Museum, and were keynote speakers. Their papers provided perspectives on museum policy and practice in the United Kingdom and Europe, and demonstrated how museums can contribute to urban and cultural regeneration. Those papers are available on the Museum of Brisbane website (www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/MoB). The Cities and Musuems section in this issue of Queensland Review brings together papers that explore the relationship of cities and museums across global, national and local Brisbane contexts, and from diverse disciplinary perspectives. The disciplines represented in this selection of papers from the symposium include social history, urban studies, literary fiction, and heritage and cultural policy.

Participatory design (PD) has been considerably broadening the gaze of the design discipline. This produced a huge impact on design processes, boosting the academic dialogue and engaging institutions as well as diverse forms of publics in give together form to the public sphere. Participatory processes can play an important role in reframing issues and reconfiguring behaviours in the common realm, opening the social imagination to boost citizenship awareness. In this paper, the authors investigate the potential role of narratives for PD activities as a key to interpret the cultural heritage and the social ecosystem of an urban settlement. They do so by supporting the development of a diffused capability of envisioning both a better present as well as a better future with and for citizens, leveraging design’s down-to-earth capacity to foresee possibilities for change. The potential of narratives for PD practices is investigated here by means of a situated and cross-disciplinary research project for the city of Ivrea (Italy), which served both to contextualise new ideas as well as to develop new techniques, pursuing the hybridisation of PD processes with storytelling and design fiction, and developing tools borrowed from science fiction, spatial design and narratology.

Full textAbstract:
Social media has permitted activists to subvert censorship and state-controlled media. As a result, it has become a key medium for experimenting with and/or creating genres previously marginalised or discouraged by the Bahraini government. This article explores aspects of revolutionary cultural production and creative resistance in Bahrain since the uprisings in 2011 and examines the role social media has played in shaping and defining it. Focusing on memes, parody accounts and the YouTube serial Baharna Drama, this article looks at the rise of political satire online and the evolution of satirical forms over the progression of the uprising as a dialectic with government policy and propaganda. This article argues that social media has facilitated the emergence of new forms of satire in Bahrain and has allowed activists to assert, to both local and global audiences and in different registers, the integrity of a desired revolutionary aesthetic by confronting state attempts to paint the revolution as schismatic and divisive. As such, 2011 marked a new turn in Bahrain’s satirical heritage. It also argues that the subversive nature of satire makes it a favourable genre with regard to revolutionary cultural production and the public sphere, yet acknowledges that satirical forms, as a response to authoritarian policies, are rarely devoid of the tutelage necessary to make them a truly revolutionary form of counter-narrative.

Abstract Three quarters of a century ago, writer Bess Streeter Aldrich sought to use her fiction to overturn a woefully inadequate portrayal of midwesterners and midwestern life; recent historians of rural midwestern women have been similarly motivated. Yet they have faced daunting challenges. Like Aldrich, historians contest the region’s stultifying and monolithic image to bring to light the wide variety of meaningful and important gendered and cross-cultural experiences. Although the region is often difficult to interpret in all of its complexity, contradictions, and variations, it is also a place tied to a common agricultural heritage. Within this context, rural Midwestern women and their experiences have historically shaped, altered, and influenced rural life and agriculture of localities, the region, and beyond as the recent scholarship in this bibliographic essay demonstrates.
