Abstract:
Since the 21st century, some French literary writers began to make corresponding adjustments to the road of French literature, starting from the narrative style, a series of innovation and transformation, at the same time, writers also opened up a road connecting French literature, philosophy and history and culture.With writing as the basis point, they poured their imagination and creation into all aspects of literary works, thus opening the door to the new world and causing people to think and criticize themselves and their own society.All these express people’s innovative thinking and indomitable pioneering spirit in the postindustrial period, but also express people’s creative pursuit of literary beauty.This paper discusses the narrative style and aesthetic research of 21 French literature, and aims to analyze the French literature works to a certain extent with different perspectives as the foothold.

Abstract:
The intense reception that Don Quixote has had in French music is a well-known, well-documented and well-researched phenomenon. However, criticism has focused pri-marily on classical music and opera; few studies have been devoted to pop music, rock or folk, and none has so far dealt with the traces that the Cervantine novel has left in French jazz. In this paper we document, analyse and compare twenty examples of French jazz compositions that are inspired by the masterpiece of Cervantes, taking into account aspects such as its reception in jazz from other countries, or the interesting presence of the myth of Don Quixote in French jazz of the 21st century.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to explore the evolution of French literature between the late 19th century and early 21st century. Although French literature has long been dominated by rationalistic ways of thinking, based on the thoughts of René Descartes and John Locke, authors have used different means to express their perceptions of society. The novel Madame Bovary (1856), including its depiction of conjugal relationships, can be considered to have pioneered realism in French literature. During the Second World War, existentialism and absurdism appeared as new ways of examining not only the relationship among humans, but also between humans and God. In the late 20th century, magical realism emerged as a new literary stream that explicitly recognized the irrationality of human thinking. This article finds that the rationality of realism was necessary for magical realism to be accepted; in this rationality, although works of magical realism were irrational, they had to be recognized as fine examples of French literature that embodied such revolutionary ideas as liberté (liberty), égalité (equality), and fraternité (fraternity). To study this phenomenon, we examine the history of french literature by applying archeological method in order to understand the world views of the authors and how they change over time.

Abstract:
The article addresses the reception of J.-B. Moliere’s comedy “The Misanthrope” (1666) by the Russian literary critics of the 20th century, reflected in monographs, academic publications, textbook, articles and the scientific apparatus to the complete works of the great French playwright. The reason of this persistent interest to this play is determined by two essential factors: its ambiguity and its influence on A. S. Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit”. The author of the article traces the transformation of the researchers’ evaluations, ranging from the pre-revolutionary period and up to the latest reviews. It is stated that the reception of “The Misanthrope” can be generally traced back to the ideas of A. N. Veselovsky, the founder of the Russian studies of Moliere. Having been perceived controversially by the closest followers of the scientist, they became ideological in the works of the Soviet researchers of the 1930–1940s, then they were in the focus of attention of the literary critics of the middle of the century and were further developed in the studies of the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries. Addressing “The Misanthrope”, the Russian researchers of the French literature of the 17th century focus on the distinguishing features of the comic, on the biographical basis of the play, on the system of images, prototypes of the main character and the essence of his conflict with the society. They invariably concentrate on the issue of the author’s viewpoint, and on the question of who Moliere sides with – Alceste or Philinte. The carried-out analysis shows that the research thought has changed from the biographical, social and political interpretation of the comedy “The Misanthrope” to refocusing on ethical issues. It appears that, despite the importance of all of these aspects, clearly significant for the comprehension of the play, a cultural studies approach, characteristic for the French literary studies and based on the most recent studies of the gallant epoch, will facilitate a more sensible perception of the play.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the reception of the novel “The Body” (1933) by emigré writer E.V. Bakunina in French and Russian literary criticism in the early 1930s. A number of researchers have already analyzed the responses of Russian critics to the publication of the novel but have not paid enough attention to a cross-sectional view of the perception of the writer’s work. This question is of interest insofar as it allows us to identify weaknesses and strengths of Bakunina’s work and rethink the literary and cultural norms established in the early 20th century. One of the article’s crucial questions is critics’ reaction to the verbalization of the female character’s body experience. In France, the literary context of the 1920s and 1930s, the presence of progressive journals, and some trends in the history of French literature contributed to the fleeting but genuine interest of critics in the novel. At the same time, the focus on preserving the best traditions of Russian literature in exile, the historical “memory of culture,” and the requirement to observe the artistic measure led to a sharp rejection of body discourse among emigré critics. The conclusion focuses on the stereotypical perception of the novel by French and Russian literary criticism, and emphasizes the importance of studying the creative heritage of “minor” authors. If French literary criticism often perceived Bakunina’s novel through the prism of the distinctive features of the “Slavic soul,” then Russian criticism judged the writer’s novel through an established grid of artistic criteria (measure, taste, femininity).

Abstract:
Abstract To write the history of translation in the digital age, we must devise and use new analytical tools. Starting from this premise, this study proposes to examine the ways in which recent technologies influence (the quality of) research in the history of translation as well as to discuss scientific work that seeks to “modernize” the history of translation in accordance with contemporary trends. By adopting a descriptive approach, I will review several traditional materials and instruments of analysis that can be identified in the specialized literature, and then I will move on to modern ones. A corpus of academic texts about the history of French translation serves my purposes well, given the existence of a large body of translation studies of “French expression” produced since the latter half of the 2oth century by numerous Francophone researchers. Main preliminary findings show that we can witness a paradigm shift and that research in the history of translation must change and adapt itself to the current developments that have impacted every field of work.

Abstract:
The paper dwells on the topical problem of modern literary criticism – the study of the creation of a literary image – a model of the capitals of the world in prose of the 21st century. The article also engages the following socially important issues, such as city life, a little man the city, the problem of loneliness, aloofness of an individual.The work is directly connected with the actualization of urban theme in literature at the beginning of the third millennium. The article begins with a review of the theoretical literature on matters under investigation. The methodological basis of the research is the works by the scholars, such as M. Beville, A. Wessels, P.Torkamane, S.V. Pirogov, V. V. Tsurkan, T.I.Vasilieva, N.L. Karpicheva and others. The following postmodern novels are the object of research – Just Together (2004) by French writer Anna Gavalda, The Book Without Photos (2011) by Russian prose writer Sergei Shargunov, White Orda (Ақ Орда) (2005) by Kazakh author Dukenbay Doszhan. Using hermeneutic analysis of the selected literary works which depict the world capitals such as Paris, Moscow and Nur-Sultan, we have identified the following models of the capital: 1. «Capital – a chronotope»; 2. «Capital – a beautiful city»; 3. «Capital is a city of memories»; 4. «Capital is an Orthodox city»; 5. «Capital is a city of career»; 6. «Capital is a symbol of a new country».

Abstract:
Mandelstam’s criticism of the Rayleigh theory of the blue color of the sky (1907) and his polemic with M. Planck (1907–1908) did not become notable events in the history of physics. However, the method of their coverage in the Soviet and in the post-Soviet physics literature is remarkable. Most of Soviet physicists and historians of physics supported Mandelstam's point of view in his criticism of both Raleigh and Planck. The situation changed only at the beginning of the 21st century: in the Russian literature the publications appeared emphasizing that in the Raleigh–Mandelstam and Planck–Mandelstam controversies Mandelstam was not right, Raleigh and Planck were closer to the truth. Which presumptions of this trend can be noted? This was patriotism of the scientific school peculiar to Mandelstam’s graduate students and the former graduate students, the patriotism connected with solidarity which helped Mandelstam’s community to survive in the Soviet totalitarian regime and in the totalitarian organization of science. This was also progressionism which was popular among academics and among men in the street. The phenomenon of common knowledge, mutual knowledge among the members of a scientific community should be taken under consideration. Common knowledge is connected with the non-thematized anonymous inclusion of the ideological terminology into scientific discourse.

Abstract:
From Comparative Literature to Cultural Renewal: Georg Brandes's 1872 Introduction to Main Currents of Nineteenth-Century Literature“The only literature that is alive today is one that provokes debate.” These words ring out in the first published version of a lecture Georg Brandes gave at the University of Copenhagen on 3 November 1871. The lecture was the introduction to a series that changed the course not only of his life but also of Scandinavian and European cultural history. Born in Copenhagen in 1842 to assimilated Jewish parents, Brandes had recently completed a dissertation on French aesthetics and literary criticism and hoped that his lecture series would allow him to replace Carsten Hauch as professor of aesthetics at the university. Brilliant and iconoclastic, the lectures also responded to the Danish defeat in the 1864 war with Prussia, portraying Danish literature and culture as morbidly inward and insular. Brandes urged his countrymen to look abroad, to traditions such as the French, whose literature included many notable writers who grappled with social and political issues, especially those who came of age during the revolutions of 1789 and 1830.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present the roles of Miloš Marten (1883–1917) in the Czech–French cultural events of the first decade of the 20th century in the background of his contacts with Hanuš Jelínek (1878–1944). The first part of the article deals with Marten’s artistic and life experience during his stays in Paris (1907–1908). The consequences of those two stays to the artist’s life and work will be accentuated. The second part takes a close look at Miloš Marten’s critique of Hanuš Jelínek’s doctoral thesis Melancholics. Studies from the History of Sensibility in French Literature. To interpretate Marten’s reasons for such a negative criticism is our main pursued objective. Such criticism results not only from the rivality between Czech critics oriented to France, but also from different conceptions of the role of critical method and the role of the critic and the artist in the international cultural politics. The third part concludes with the critics’ „reconciliation‟ around 1913 by means of the common interest in the work and personality of Paul Claudel.

Abstract:
For several reasons, translingual writers, defined here as authors who write in a language that is not their native one, have gained increased visibility in recent years. This is particularly true in the context of French literature where, more frequently than before, and with a more explicit recognition of their particular status, translingual writers have received important literary prizes and have been welcomed into the French Academy. Central to this recognition is their rich and diverse mobilisation of life writing, a corpus curiously neglected in the study of the phenomenon of literary translingualism. This thesis focuses on the writers Andreï Makine, Hector Bianciotti, Vassilis Alexakis, Nancy Huston, Agota Kristof and Katalin Molnár. It demonstrates that the translingual experience, in its capacity to question one's sense of self and provide novel tools for the exploration of one's personal history and subjectivity (conceived as an experience in language), appears eminently suited to the genre of life writing and that, in the current configuration of the French literary space, life writing is demanded from translingual authors. It proposes an original cartography of contemporary translingual literature in French, suggesting that more than any similarities in the conditions of their literary adoption of French, what creates family resemblance between translingual writers is the types of relation with their adopted language that are constructed in their autobiographical texts.

Abstract:
Generation X has often been defined as being without role models or inspiration. Nevertheless, it is possible to detect a sizeable amount of intertextual references in several Quebecer books written by authors of that generation. In Quebec, these young writer's influences are as distinct as they are diverse, varying from Kerouac to Hemingway and from Sartre to Camus. But concerning their Quebecer role model, one name continually returns, that of Rejean Ducharme.
The goal of this thesis is to illustrate the presence of ducharmesque universe in three Generation X novels, namely Le souffle de l'harmattan by Sylvain Trudel, Vamp by Christian Mistral and La rage by Louis Hamelin. Within these novels, we will attempt to find the trail of three typical elements to Ducharme's work: the rejection of conformity, the contempt towards a consumer society, and the substitution of a utopian universe for reality.
According to Francois Ricard, Ducharme belongs to what he calls the "generation lyrique", which is the eldest baby boomers, while Generation X is composed of Baby Boom's youngest members. Interestingly enough, one should expect such a generational conflict between these two cohorts to incite Generation X writers to despite their predecessor. Hence, this thesis will conclude with a few tentative explanations as to why Generation X authors were so driven to choose Rejean Ducharme, a member of the "generation lyrique", to be their role model.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the notions of time and epoch through the works of three contemporary French authors: Christine Montalbetti, Hélène Lenoir and Emmanuelle Pireyre. The theoretical framework for this study draws upon literary criticism, time studies and cultural theory: it investigates in particular the ways in which literary fiction may respond to what has been called a ‘culture of speed' in capitalist economies of the twenty-first century. This culture of speed is traced back two major epochal shifts: the revolution in information technology, which has permitted the generating and sharing of information at exponentially higher speeds, and an increasing consciousness of the vast time cycles within which we might situate our own epoch or individual lives. This work considers the ways in which this collective and paradigmatic shift might be reflected in literary fiction. It examines the representation of new information technologies within these literary works, focusing in particular on the texts' representations of obsessive or compulsive uses of technology and the kinds of anxieties emerging as a result of the ubiquity of these devices. It further questions whether new aesthetic trends, what has been called a ‘post-internet aesthetic', may be emerging in literary fiction in light of some of these changes. Further investigation of the representation of diegetic time within these texts demonstrates that these literary works appear to resist the current time culture of speed and simultaneity, embracing instead the literary devices of repetition and digression while maintaining a dilatory pace. This study also considers the emergence of ‘short-termism' and insularity within these literary texts as reflecting a wider societal trend, especially in light of recent theoretical work on the vast timescales (for example those of the planet's climate cycles) that have become increasingly present in political and journalistic discourses.

Abstract:
The decade 1940-1950 represents a decisive stage in the evolution of the relations between the Quebec literary scene and France. Whereas before the war, literary discourse keeps on upholding, in a dogmatic way, the superiority of French culture and literature, the next period is characterized, on the contrary, by a reassessment of this postulate.
The historical circumstances justify the setting up of exceptional institutional conditions. Some French writers and critics, in exile in North America, partake, to varying degrees, in the French Canadian literary scene. The backing of these intellectuals is not unrelated to the process of modernization and autonomization undertaken at that time by the major sectors of the Quebecer literary apparatus.
A conflict of interest in the publishing sector as well as ideological differences spark a controversy between Robert Carbonneau and some members of the Comite National des Ecrivains. This "quarrel", to quote Charbonneau, is an unprecedented example of direct confrontation between Quebecer and French literary agents. On this occasion, Robert Charbonneau redefines French Canadian literature outside of France's sphere of influence, France being a country whose status he wishes to limit to that of just one foreign reference among many.
This desire for autonomy can also be found in literary texts which, using means available to them, bear witness to an appreciable decline of the French literature. But whereas literary discourse attempts to resist annexation to French literature, the literary apparatus is subject, upon the Liberation, to a material and symbolic domination by the French authorities, a domination it cannot fight. In this respect, the conditions of literary production in the fifties are paradoxical since the text, while voicing its rejection of the French institution and its French Canadian identity, continues to receive its ultimate consecration from France.

With the proliferation of distance education as a common educational delivery mode in higher education, increased scrutiny and criticism has seriously challenged its merit. Despite the widespread hesitancy to embrace distance education as a legitimate component of the higher educational system, the access it affords to adult learners pursuing graduate education is undeniable. To that end, this chapter briefly discusses the history of distance education; reviews the distance education literature; presents findings from a study exploring the experiences of doctoral students regarding the benefits and challenges of pursuing an online degree; discusses emerging trends for distance education; and concludes with recommendations for administrators, faculty, and students in higher education.

Abstract:
This chapter analyses how discussions about race and nationhood surfaced in nineteenth-century British and American literary criticism and literary historiography. It discusses Carlyle’s and Emerson’s writings about the relationship between literature and nationality and argues that, drawing on a handful of near-contemporary German and French authors, they positioned themselves at the crossroads of cultural nationalism and literary cosmopolitanism. The second half of the chapter explains how Carlyle and Emerson conceptualised continuity and change in literary history and highlights the role of Romantic expressivism in their nation-centred poetics. The two developed conflicting accounts of English literary history: where Carlyle’s narrative emphasised the past achievement and future global dominance of metropolitan writing, Emerson tended to invest in the authority of the English canon to locate the future of a specifically Anglo-American tradition in the cultural periphery.

To examine to what extent the operation of the Pécsvárad manor court served the interests of the peasants living in the manor, and to what extent it was necessary to abolish it by the provisions of Article 4 of Act IX of 1848. Applied methods. We have examined the records and related documents of the district’s fiscal and manor court of the Pécsvárad public foundation in the 1830s, which are concerning the inheritance of the peasants. The background of the individual judgments was studied in István Werbőczy’s Tripartitum and especially in the laws of 1836. In addition to the literature on the Hungarian manor court we also reviewed studies on the French manor court. Outcomes. The Pécsvárad manor court met relatively often, with one third of the cases heard being inheritance cases. In examining the most common type of property cases, the arguments of both plaintiffs and defendants gave us an insight into the thinking of the time. The judgments in succession cases showed that the manorial and county officers presiding over the manor court investigated each case carefully, rendered an impartial decision and had the manorial officer, who was familiar with local conditions, to see that it was carried out. A study of the cases of the Pécsvárad manor court raises the need for a more nuanced assessment of the operation of the manor court and, as has been said in French literature, its rehabilitation.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study. To present what concepts existed for the utilization of the thermal resources of the Southern Transdanubian region, both at the national and county level. Next, examine the impact of the international Thermal Project, which started in the 1970s, on the spa culture of the region, primarily on the spa culture. Applied methods. Primarily a literature review in the field of economic policy and spa history. I examined the literature on socialist economic policy and incorporated the results of my research into the information found there. The literature research was followed by the study of contemporary press and legislation. At the end of the systematic investigation, useful information was provided with relevant press reports and adequate source criticism. An important part of the research was archival research, in which national and county-level party documents and council documents were processed. Outcomes. As a result of the party decree of 1957 and the ministerial decree of 1960, the pace of hydrocarbon research increased at the same time, as a result of which thermal wells were discovered one after the other, and the demand for the development of tourism appeared at the same time. Together, this resulted in the development of spa culture based on thermal wells being put on the agenda at the local, county and national levels. Starting in the 1960s, concepts appeared one after another for the use of thermal water for tourism purposes, to boost tourism and increase the country's foreign exchange earnings. The national water management framework plan was created, and county plans were created for the development of spas. By the 1970s, taking advantage of the milder political climate, the primary goal became the utilization of the country's thermal resources, and it initiated cooperation with the UN under the name Thermal Project. A joint management planning group was created, in which Hungarian and international specialists and numerous institutions of the country participated. After a lot of preparation and the creation of a schedule, the project died after the implementation of the first phase. The implementation of the big plan was thus left for the times after the regime change.

Abstract:
At the beginning of the 21st century, when distances have become shorter because of the development of communication networks, the world has undergone political, economic and cultural integration or, in other words, globalization. These processes raise many questions about the way geography influences global policy. Historians think of globalization as one of the stages in the development of capitalism. Political scientists put the emphasis on the diffusion of democratic organizations. Economists note the process of trans-nationalization of financial markets. Cultural scholars connect globalization with the worldwide distribution of Western culture and way of living (Westernization). There are also informational-technological approaches to explain globalization – the appearance of global means of telecommunications. In politics, globalization leads to weakening of the nation state and contributes to decreasing its sovereignty. A transformation of the nation state can be observed, but its indispensability does not decrease (despite increasing criticism). The contemporary state delegates more and more powers to influential international organizations such as the UN, NATO, IMF and the World Bank. That is why authors like T. Friedman and R. Keohan consider globalization a radically new phenomenon, leading to the gradual loss of the significance of nation states. Very important are the different concepts connected with global conflicts. Samuel Huntington writes about the “clash of civilizations” whose theory opposes that of Francis Fukuyama about “the end of history”. The role of the Western world in this conflict is also of great significance. From the position of globalization, regionalism is a type of localism on a large territorial scale. Often, it has been described as a struggle between history and geography. The geographical approach to the problems is connected with the understanding that regional structures, together with global corporations, nation states and international economic organizations are the most important subjects of globalization. This makes the interrelations between globalization and regionalism an interesting field for research. Each one of these competing and opposing globalizations ideologically and scientifically reflects particular dimensions of the ongoing processes at global level, which, by default, makes them objects of research in socio-cultural geography. The main objective of the present research is to reveal the nature of globalization and its relations with world policy and geography on the base of existing scientific literature on the topic. Different research methods have been used, among which conceptual analysis, situation analysis, spatial analysis based on the civilizational approach and others. The ideas of main existing studies on the topic have been synthesized, analyzed and discussed. The results of the research show that there are different points of view on the problems, some of which fundamental, others not so well known, and some even peculiar ones. Another result of the research is the explanation of two opposing processes – globalization and regionalization. An attempt has been made to include all these different points of view in the revealing of the nature of global processes and their relation to geography as one of their fundaments.
