Abstract:

ABSTRACT:Fictional accounts of epilepsy are of interest because they may convey information on images and public views of epilepsy which are not contained in medical texts. Thus, medical and nonmedical traditions together form the cultural history of epilepsy. Of the numerous possible aspects of epilepsy in fiction, this paper looks especially at the writers'background of knowledge about epilepsy; epilepsy as a handicap and a reason for social rejection, with special reference to epilepsy under the Nazi rule; threats to patients'lives; the motive of the child with epilepsy as a divine child; a

Aim. The article attempts to look at question of academic identities through the prism the academic novel. This literary genre emerged in English and American literature in early 1950s and centers on the image of the professor. In Slavic literatures the genre of the academic novel appears roughly in early 1990s, which is directly connected with the change of the political order following the fall of the Berlin Wall and disbanding of the Soviet Union. Contemporary Ukrainian literature with its post-Soviet heritage presents a unique source for the study of academic discourse. Methods. An i

In 2015, the world saw 244 million international migrants. Migration has been shown to be both a protective and a risk factor for mental health, depending on circumstances. Furthermore, culture has an impact on perceptions and constructions of mental illness and identity, both of which can be challenged through migration. Using a qualitative research approach, we analysed five internationally acclaimed and influential novels and one theatre play that focus on aspects of identity, migration, and threatened mental health. As a mirror of society, fiction can help to understand perceptions of iden

Abstract:

Another corporality has always been perceived differently in various societies in each epoch. Corporality — body and techniques of the body — of a disabled person was usually considered in archaic cultures in a negative perspective. Such a notion existed in European societies in Middle Ages. Since the Renaissance persons with impairments have appeared in art and fiction. Russian mass consciousness has retained a lot of negative stereotypes and labels concerning disabled people and their bodies. These notions and prejudices are often represented in mass fiction — detective stories, love stories

This article analyzes developments in the field of literary studies that concentrate on the aesthetics of metamodernism. Researchers emphasize the following inherent characteristics of contemporary fictional writings: a return to modernist-style experimentation, the reconstruction of grand narratives rejected by postmodernism, oscillation between different aesthetic palettes, openness, a return to history, depth, affect, and new sincerity. The identification of these dominants in contemporary literature provides grounds for asserting the «waning» and exhaustion of postmodernism and the develop

Much more than a simple illustration of the lives of great scientists, biopics are one of the best indicators of public attitudes

The conclusion argues that Hardy's heart-centered strategies of affective description can at once illuminate his uneasy relationship with realism's normative operations and pluralize critical understanding of reali

Abstract:

The author analyses the problems of erosion of the book culture and the role of bookishness in the contemporary Western and Russian identities. While analysing the processes of disappearance and displacement of bookshops, the author presumes that culture of bookstores and communication subcultures in them cannot compete with networks and e-commerce. It is assumed that the logic of capitalism favours the progress of on-line bookstores, specialising in the serial and mass literature while independent bookstores prefer to sell intellectual, non-fiction, and academic books that are not interesting

This article aims to consider the imagination of new coexistence and harmony through the reading of Hiroyuki Itsuki(五木寛之)’s debut work, “Good-bye Moscow” (さらば,モスクワ愚連隊). This work, which was carried out from the perspective of Kitami(北見)=“I,” who was a jazz pianist and is currently representing a performing company, is a kind of middlebrow fiction published in 1966, and has been read as a text to redefine his origin through a Soviet boy named Misha. This paper also focuses on the speaker “I,” who is different from the character “I,” to explain where and how the speaker develops the novel, and w

Contemporary education initiatives require English language arts educators spend half their time on non-fiction and history and social studies teachers to include diverse sources. Beginning in the early grades within the aforementioned curricula, students are to scrutinize multiple texts of the same historical event, era, or figure. Whereas trade books are a logical curricular resource for English language arts and history and social studies curricula, the education mandates do not provide suggestions. Research indicates trade books are rife with historical misrepresentations, yet few empirica

During the last few years in Ukrainian translations appear more and more books belonging to non-fiction literature, including literary reports. The current popularity of this genre on the Ukrainian book market, as well as among readers, is caused by the topicality of the issues raised in such texts. A separate place in the Ukrainian reception of translations of contemporary Polish literature is occupied by the subject of war conflicts, because one of them during last several years takes place in Ukraine.

Cinema has always been a powerful means of cultural, social and educational propaganda and people seem to be more receptive to the audio-visual media than just audio or print. Thus, films or movies have become a very effective means of social dissemination of information. The films are a reflection of the society and their stories come from society itself. The stories of the films do not just come from the present situation of societies around the world, rather since the time societies have been in existence. They revolve around a variety of themes ranging from romance to thriller or from scie

The Victorian Era may be seen as a real ‘age of madness’ because after all, the study of the human mind was definitely established during that time, since new branches of medical science, psychology, neurology and sexology defined new type of disease ( for example mental conditions such as hysteria) and new patients as Anne-Julia Zwierlein points out. Those ‘new patients’, in fact, no longer fit the old cliché of the dehumanized raving lunatic, they were, instead , proper Victorian ladies, a fact that both shocked and fascinated Victorian society.

Abstract Although a number of scholars have tackled the figure of the Black folk-healer in Toni Morrison’s novels, the character deserves greater attention in the present moment for the insights she provides into two contemporary catastrophes: the coronavirus pandemic and the structural racism that precipitates rampant violence against brown-skinned people in the United States. Beginning with M’Dear, the elderly woman who is brought in to treat Cholly’s Aunt Jimmy in The Bluest Eye (1970), I survey descriptions of several root workers, hoodoo practitioners, and midwives in Morrison’s fiction,

InConfessions of an EnglishOpium Eater(1821), Thomas De Quincey famously describes the mind as a palimpsest upon which inscribed memories are never truly lost to the passage of time. These memories, especially of childhood, lurk under the conscious surface of the mind, waiting to be rediscovered during intervals of intensified desultory memory that are made possible for De Quincey by opium-induced dreaming. Opium is utilized during these dreams as a perception-altering technology; memories of childhood are not only recalled while under the influence of the drug, but are revivified in a way tha

As this writer is well-known to modern literary scholars mostly as a talented satirist, the author of a novel and numerous pamphlets, the attention to his poetic heritage is nowadays surprisingly relevant from the view point of their thematic vector and from the viewpoint of the author’s contribution into the development of the Elizabethan poetic tradition.

The novel Odin’s Child (Odinsbarn, 2013) by Siri Pettersen is considered here, giving voice to arboreal and botanical perspectives and basing the analysis on phytocriticism and the recent developments in ecocri
