Abstract:

Gustav Meyrink’s novel Der Golem [The Golem], published in 1915, and Leo Perutz’s 1953 novel Nachts unter der steinernen Brücke [By Night under the Stone Bridge] communicate the authors’ image of the Jewish experience and treatment during the period of the twentieth century. Uncanny and fantastical elements are used throughout both texts to help portray the Jewish condition. Meyrink conveys the animosity between nationalistic Jews and middle-class assimilated Jews and highlights the rising anti-Semitism among Gentiles by associating Jews with the decay and corruption of modernity. At the same time, however, Jews are also depicted as a model of higher spirituality. Nachts unter der steinernen Brücke places the Holocaust within the greater context of Jewish history and conveys Perutz’s assessment that the tragedy of the Holocaust is one in a series of devastating events which have plagued the Jewish people. Moreover, the text casts doubt on the benevolence of Jewish and non-Jewish authority figures and even the mercifulness of God. The doubt raised in the novel regarding central Jewish beliefs mirrors the Jewish experience of disorientation and confusion following the horrors of the Holocaust. Perutz also conveys the need for Jewish history to be passed down to future generations as it is their past which helps form their Jewish identity. Keywords: Der Golem [The Golem] (Meyrink, Gustav); Nachts unter der steinernen Brücke [By Night under the Stone Bridge] (Perutz, Leo); Jewish experience (portrayal of); twentieth century; uncanny and fantastical literature; literary interpretation

Abstract:

Some of Marcel Aymé’s most delightful work concerns charming rogues, protagonists who lack the heroism of moral outlaws such as Robin Hood or the golem of Jewish literature but act outside the rule of law in a way that is psychologically if not always morally coherent. On other “law and literature” occasions, Aymé employs what is sometimes called fantasy, but has the sardonic bite of magical realism — what this analysis considers “magical legalism”, where individuals circumvent physical, natural, and positive law in attempts to achieve pure self-expression or egocentric notions of justice.

Abstract:

AbstractThe speaker is aware that YHWH knows him completely and is near him wherever he might go. The night, he says, may assault him, for in God's presence the darkness is as light to him as the day (vv. 11b, 12ba circumstantial clauses). That he can speak like this is because God himself made him the human being he is, with his own specific disposition (v. 13 'kidneys'; v. 15 'frame'). Indeed, of old he has been immensely distinguished (v. 14: nipleti). When there was just his lump of clay, YHWH's eyes saw it (v. 16). And of all the times that such golems were fashioned (yamun yussaru), each of which is remembered in heaven, there was that 'day' of his own golem (Qere welo), when he was made the person he is. By night, as a sign of distinction, the speaker may 'see' God's innumerable thoughts, and very precious they are to him. What bothers him a great deal, however, is the existence of the wicked. His hatred of them makes him feel uneasy. It is his prayer that God, who knows him so well, may test him on this point. The prayer in vv. 23f., thus related to the preceding passage, fits in with the structure of the poem. The textual transmission is problematic in v. 20.

Abstract:

The article examines the genesis of the red color, which acts as a pattern of the «Armenian text of Russian literature» on the basis of Russian poetic texts (B. Pasternak, F. Sologub, O. Mandelstam, N. Konchalovskaya, P. Antokolsky, I. Snegova, P. Pyanykh, L. Shahverdyan) and prose (B. Kuzin, O. Mandelstam, Yu. Karabchievsky, M. Saryan, V. Grossman). The subject of the article is the connection of the insect code presented in the discourse with the color red. Analytics is based on biographical, quantitative methods, linguistic analysis of the text and is carried out on the basis of a historical and cultural approach. The recent works that reveal the patterns of the «Armenian text» do not mention the connection between cochineal and red color metaphors found in this article. The conclusions obtained enrich the cultural and philological concept contained in the framework of the «Armenian text» and expand the poetic context of the biological organism mentioned in the poems of Russian poets. The article presents an additional (to the already existing) perspective in the analysis of O. Mandelstam's poem «Inside the mountain, an idol is inactive...»: the image of the idol is embedded in an ekphrastic sculptural row with the mythological Golem.

Abstract:

The article identifies typological parallels between Andrei Bely and G. Meyrink based on their similar worldviews: Bely, the ideologist of Russian Symbolism, was an adept of Rudolph Steiner’s anthroposophy; Gustav Meyrink, an outstanding representative of the Prague School, had an intense interest in occultism and mysticism. Both factors - the aesthetic representation of unconsciousness in fiction and the appellation to mystic and occult experience - bring together Bely’s novel Moscow (1926-1932) and Meyrink’s The Golem (1915). The interest to the oeuvre of both writers emerges in the period of breaking the old paradigm, the epoch of methodological impasse, and the search for new heuristic opportunities of text interpretation. The article reveals the common features of oneyropoetics in both novels and the typological proximity of the “characters of the way” (Ivan Korobkin and Athanasius Pernat) in the aspect of life creation (Bely) and in overcoming the “golemic” aspect and creating “Higher Self’ (Meyrink), raising the problem of the ambivalent finals. Architectonically, both novels are a two-layer text for a “mass” reader on the one hand and a special “initiated” reader on the other. The demonic urban spaces of Moscow and Prague take on the shape of a utopian city, undergoing transformed through the character’s mysterial suffering and becoming the final of their way (initiation) to “Higher Self.” The ideological centre of the novels is the concept of personality; namely, awareness and overcoming the “rapture” (“golemic nature”) by the character in Austrian (Prague) novel and responsibility for a scientific discovery and desire to “warm the Universe” by the character of the Russian novel, which results in his search for a spiritual integrity. Dreams as a bright epitomy of linguistic experiment serve for the plot formation in Moscow and accompany the character, the scientist, throughout his entire spiritual way. The Golem has a frame composition where dreaming and identification of the narrator with Pernat, who passed a mysterial way, become his spiritual experience and initiation. The present study is intended to show the opportunities of “comparative poetics”, which allows to correlate the oeuvre of both writers who fit stadially in the Expressionist Aesthetic and in more epochal sense - in the poetics of art modality (Samson Broytman). The author declares no conflicts of interests.

Abstract:

This article examines the cultural impact of personal computers in Italian literature in the first decade of their mass diffusion (from the mid-1980s to the second half of the 1990s) through the analysis of four texts written by some of the most respected writers of the time: Primo Levi’s article “Personal Golem” (1985), Umberto Eco’s novel Il pendolo di Foucault (1988), Francesco Leonetti’s novel Piedi in cerca di cibo (1995), and Daniele Del Giudice’s story “Evil Live” (1997). More than simply addressing the advent of personal computers, what these texts have in common is the use of religious images and metaphors in order to make sense of the new technology. This study aims at showing how this frame of reference served the four writers in expressing the contradictions inherent to the machine. Bulky and tangible because of its hardware, but animated by an elusive and mysterious software, the personal computer was perceived at the same time as a dull office appliance and a threatening virtual entity. Finally, by showing how timely and well-informed these literary works on the impact of PCs are, this article wants to make the case for considering the role of literature in shaping computer culture.

Abstract:

The article deals with the lyrical prose by the modern poet Sandzhar Yanyshev. Examining his collection Umr. The New Book of Transformations [Umr. Novaya kniga obrashcheniy] (2017), the author distinguishes the selfidentification process of the lyrical hero, who is a product of the imperial period, typified by bilingual and bicultural intentions. The images-transformationsmetamorphoses of the lyrical prose reveal milestones of the Soviet-era colonial history and their post-colonial reception. Family members in the book are surrounded by an array of historical and mythological figures (from Golem and Christ to Khyzyr-bobo), as well as an allusive-reminiscent set from Russian and world literature. Also investigated is the mix of genres represented in the collection: part of the Russian literary and Uzbek cultural traditions, each of them can be viewed as the contextual genre of umr – an ambivalent phenomenon of life-death, transformation/metamorphosis. Sandzhar Yanyshev’s lyrical prose offers a richly flavoured illustration of current Russian literature and exemplifies the mental processes of the post-colonial era..

Abstract:

Abstract In this article, I argue that in the years 1960‒1980—roughly from Solaris (1961), through His Master's Voice (1968), to Golem XIV (1981)—Stanisław Lem carried out an anthropological experiment in which his protagonists were confronted with unknowable phenomena. The fullest expression of this experiment is the novel Solaris, in which a new function of literature—the universalization of uncertainty—is unveiled. This feature links Lem's novel with the works of other Polish writers, such as Witold Gombrowicz, Tadeusz Różewicz, Andrzej Czycz, Teodor Parnicki, and Edward Stachura. Some of their works from the 1960s and 1970s can be considered representative of the post-avant-garde in Polish prose; these works question key social beliefs (especially regarding the efficacy of cognition, the adequacy of language, and the stability of the human subject), but instead of proposing a new order, their authors indicate the need for accepting that human existence is not grounded in a higher order.

Abstract:

Este artículo propone una indagación en torno al problema de la enunciación dramática, tal como se plantea en el teatro contemporáneo. Se analizan con este objetivo algunas obras de Juan Mayorga en referencia a la problemática del discurso veraz, desde el momento en que el autor propone una poética según la cual el teatro debe tener siempre un sentido político. Atendiendo a los planteamientos de Michel Foucault respecto a la voluntad de verdad y a la función política que se da a esta, se atiende primero a la visión planteada por este autor de una pragmática del discurso en la que el sentido y el valor de los enunciados son modificados por la situación o el estatus del sujeto hablante, como ejemplifica uno de los primeros éxitos del dramaturgo, Himmelweg. No obstante, su trayectoria posterior mira a la posibilidad, sugerida por Foucault en sus últimos años, de una dramática del discurso en la que es la situación del hablante la que se ve afectada por el enunciado y el acto de enunciación que lleva a cabo, dando lugar así a un juego dramático que Mayorga lleva a escena en obras como El cartógrafo o El Golem.

Abstract:

The article brings to the attention of a highly urgent problem of modern literature — the studying of transitional, milestones periods in the history of world literature. In this regard the author researches new value orientations and features of poetics by Andrey Bely and Gustav Meyrink, Russian and Austrian modernist writers of the early XX century. The comparative method, which was applied in the studying, allowed to determine more clearly national specificities of ideostyles of each writer, define similarities and opposite focuses of the writers’ intentions. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the “fiery theme” (motives of fire, flame, sun) in Andrey Bely’s novel “Moscow” and Gustav Meyrink’s novel “The Golem”. The article examines the connection of the fire, presented in a wide Сhristian, mythological, occult-kabalistic and anthroposophical contexts, and a spiritual rebirth of “heroes of the path” (Y.M. Lotman), a scientist, Ivan Korobkin, and a carver of the stones, Atanasius Pernat. The author suggests one of the ways of “reading” (interpretation) of the most complicated and complex novels of the XX century, which allows in Russian literary studies to build the evolution of Andrey Bely and Gustav Meyrink as novelists and, moreover, to define literary Russian-Austrian convergences in greater detail. The current article presents the long-term work of the author — a specialist in the field of Andrey Bely studies, as well as in determining the features of non-dogmatic spirituality of writers.

Abstract:

The study attempts to ascertain the determinants of nonperforming loans in National Bank of Commerce. Data was collected from 152 respondents. Tables, percentages, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze data. Data collection methods adopted for the study were interview, questionnaire and documentary evidence. Interest rate, GDP, concentration of lending activities, bank’s loan supervision capacity and economic condition were investigated, and the results suggest that interest rate, GDP, bank’s loan supervision capacity and economic condition influence the level of NPLs. However, the results did not suggest that concentration of lending activities increase the level of NPLs. The study suggests that banks should put in place a vibrant credit process that ensures proper customer selection and risk identification, robust credit analysis, proactive monitoring and clear recovery strategies for bad loans, formulate clear policy framework that addresses issues of ethical standards and check and balance credit process, organizational capacity enhancement of banks, deliberate effort to develop credit culture for managing loans ,and ensure prudent policies that govern bank loans. Since the results for this study were encouraging, the researcher encourages replicating the study for other lending institutions. In order to extend the literature on non-performing loans, the researcher suggested incorporating models of Golem effect, Social loafing, Inverted pyramid effect, Pollyanna effect and High default culture effect. Also, basing on the merits of the study, the researcher suggests determining relationship between non-performing loans and loan size, collateral, credit culture, and credit management information system.

The article analyzes the use of images of folk demonology, including witches, devils and others, by Yury Vynnychuk in the novel «Apothecary». The key factors of character formation of mythical characters have been revealed. The author's achievements are outlined in comparison with the folklore and fairy tale tradition. The writer moves away from the depiction of Ukrainian folklore characters. With the help of expanding the background, dialogues, building social connections, the fantastic characters in the novel are normalized, even domesticated. The peculiarity of the novel «Apothecary» consists in combining the real with the fantastic, giving color and identity to demonic images in the original author's reading of them. Among the images explored in the article are the following: a witch, a devil, a golem woman, a warlock, an alchemist, a werewolf, etc. It was found that the image of the witch is represented by two types. The first type is related to the modern stereotypical idea of the impossibility of the existence of such a being. Through the lens of the gaze of one of the main characters of the work, doctor Lukasz, who as a «scientist» is used to rationalizing everything he sees, the reader looks at women who go to prison due to accusations of witchcraft, and together with Lukasz understands the absurdity of these events. Tortured women confess to witchcraft, are forced to prove their own connection with diabolical forces, testify for themselves, sharing details of the witch's life. The second type of witches are «real» ones. The reader is offered an episode of witch orgies on Lysia Gora, which is replaced by a detailed description of the witch's life, presented without any comedy. Thanks to this technique, the image of the witch does not appear folk-comic, but original and very authentic. An old witch named Vyvdia is depicted as a recluse, she knows how to make magic potions, and often helps visitors solve personal problems for a fee. The author depicts the image of a witch-healer, a wise woman who knows about herbs and ancient wisdom, and personifies in it the second stereotypical image of a witch, which is related to the etymology of the name. Witch from the word «to know» («vidaty», that sounds similar to «vidma» (witch in Ukrainian)). The devil is personified by a character named Franz. Its peculiarity is the difference from the traditional depiction of this image in classical Ukrainian literature. Devil Franz appears as a descendant of the demonological images of the romantic tradition in Ukrainian literature, but was created in the vortex of the author's myth of Yury Vinnychuk. He is a unique character, different from his predecessors. It has been found that the devil and the witch are the most productive demonological images in the novel. Other fantastic creatures form a kind of artistic background for them, make their appearance organic. All demonological images are completely woven into the realistic course of events of the work. The article concludes that the demonological images depicted by Yury Vynnychuk in the novel «The Apothecary» are undoubtedly related to the literary tradition. This work reflects a long-standing culture of using mythical characters in works of various genres. As an expert in folkloristics and classical Ukrainian literature, Y. Vynnychuk skillfully weaves ancient folk beliefs into his work about the 17th century, playing with eras, weaving modern discourses into antiquity. The artistic world of the novel is saturated with images of Ukrainian and European demonology (the devil Franz, the witch Vivdia, the alchemist Kalkbrenner, his creation the golem Amalia, warlocks, werewolves, spirits, demons, etc.). These characters are surprisingly real, believable and incredible, belong to different eras, cultures and at the same time are very harmonious.

Abstract:

The topic of the work is relevant, since at present the Russian literary criticism is rediscovering the features of the artistic expression of Soviet literature of the 1920s. The aim of the study was to discover the features of the poetics of Greens text that allow us to identify the novel under consideration as expressionist. Research methods used in the article: comparative-historical and semantic analysis of texts. At the beginning of the article, the research of the novella Gray Car by A.V. Polupanova and L.U. Zvonareva is considered, inaccuracies and obvious factual errors are noted, indicating a lack of understanding of the text, a mixture of such forms of expression of the authors position (according to B.O. Korman) as hero-narrator and author-narrator. As an empirical material, in addition to the novel by A. Green, the works of G. Mayrink, F. Kafka and L. Perutz were used. As a result of consideration of the novels the Golem, Castle, the Cossack and the Nightingale, the Wizard of judgment was allocated with the following features art in the world of the expressionist literary works: a) the problem of identity associated, as a rule, the main character; 2) semema madness, which became a constant for expressionist texts; 3) mysterious (hidden) order of a seemingly chaotic world; 4) the lack of success of speech acts. All these features were found in the story of A. Green, so it seems that the new approach to the work of the writer as a representative of Russian expressionism, demonstrates its consistency and can be contrasted with the more traditional consideration of the authors prose as a super-textual unity.

Abstract:

Purpose. The study aims at revealing the role and meaning of perceived leader expectations and beliefs in nurses’ high performance. Study design. This qualitative descriptive study included ten nurses and two supervisors who were selected using purposive sampling technique and theirs two supervisors. Data were collected by semi-structured interviewing and evaluated using content analysis. Findings. The data revealed four themes of the Pygmalion effect on nurses’ performance, and these themes represented four consecutive steps of the pygmalion effect. These themes stated as the “Pygmalion process” were conceptualized as 1) formation, 2) transmission, 3) perception and internalization, 4) reflection, respectively. Leaders’ expectations about nurses’ performance and success, and their beliefs about nurses’ abilities were found to be important for nurses. When these beliefs and expectations were perceived by nurses, they resulted in high performance. Nurses, who perceived positive expectations conveyed by leaders through different channels, had the tendency to respond to these expectations with high performance. This expectation effect emerged within a four-stage process, and this process included the emergence of the expectation which was formed before the first impression, and the steps of a complex process transmitted through many verbal, nonverbal, formal and informal communication channels. Research limitations. the small number of participants in the study can be considered as the first limitation. The sample size should be increased with more participants (study groups) to develop more comprehensive understanding with future studies. Since the data of the study is based on selfreports, possible response bias can be considered as another potential risk, and this situation was tried to be overcome by interviewing the head nurses as well as the nurses. Considering that positive leader expectations can be an antecedent to different positive organizational outcomes as some other recent studies showed, searching for the relationship of the Pygmalion effect with different outcomeswill contribute to the literature. This study conducted with the nurses examines the Pygmalion effect of the leaders’ positive expectation. For future studies, holistic research can be carried out by choosing healthcare employees using the expectation effect, and other versions such as Galateas and Golem. Value of the results. This is a qualitative study on the relationship between perceived leader expectations and beliefs in nurses’ high performance by evaluating the role of Pygmalion effect.
