Full textAbstract:
"Following the coup d’etat of 1953 and the trauma caused by it gradually in the 60s and 70s in Iran a new subjectivity, a new vision for the Iranian subject of modernity emerged. Iranians were called by their intellectuals to overcome the trauma, which was called “occidentosis”, a state in which everything that they try to create and produce is “stilborn”. They were asked to no longer accept predestination and quietism, developing courage instead, becoming militant and finding their own, authentic way of encountering technologies and the West. This paper systematically demonstrates that the new subjectivity, which can be seen in the Iranian prose and non-fiction in the 60s and 70s is heavily influenced by European intellectual ideas. Keywords: European intellectual ideas, subjectivity, prose, non-fiction, Iran. "

Full textAbstract:
This paper falls under the category of literary portraits and explores the evolution of Kononenko as a writer and intellectual. She embarked on her creative journey with translation and poetry but later focused primarily on prose. The paper underscores Kononenko’s enduring commitment to liberal perspectives, her view of culture as both a primary social catalyst and a societal objective. Kononenko can boast the broadest spectrum of genres in Ukrainian literature, encompassing short stories, narratives, novels, miniatures, and essays. She often employs genre and generic syncretism, which is most evident in her integration of poetry into prose, where she incorporates sonnets and elegies within short prose collections. Furthermore, her works blend genres by combining elements of detective stories with social novels, feminist narratives, and intellectual explorations. The writer boldly experiments with genres to enhance the expressiveness of her writing and engage a wider readership with complex, intellectually profound works. Kononenko’s prose might be classified as intellectual literature. The themes and ideas explored by the author indicate an existentialist orientation in her work. Kononenko herself interprets all her plots and ‘small tragedies’ as reflections of the human experience. The paper highlights the stylistic features of Kononenko’s texts, emphasizing realism, psychologism, and a dialogic nature, along with the significant role of artistic detail, lyrical qualities, trusting intonation, and irony. As for the sources of the author’s inspiration, her works seem to align with Mykola Riabchuk’s prose standing out for its trustworthy tone and candid conversation with the reader. It is worth to emphasize that the writer once made a compelling choice to depart from her first tongue, Russian, in favor of the Ukrainian cultural minority of the late Ukrainian SSR and early Ukrainian state, thereby challenging the traditional orientation of Russian-speaking Ukrainians toward ‘high’ Russian culture.

Abstract The rise of prose in Greece has been linked to broader cultural and intellectual developments under way in the classical period. Prose has also been characterized as challenging poetry's traditional status as the privileged expression of the culture. Yet throughout the classical period and beyond, poetry was still regularly invoked as the yardstick by which innovation was measured. This paper investigates how poetry figures in the earliest accounts of prose style. Focusing on Isocrates, Alcidamas, and Aristotle, it argues that although each author distinguishes between the styles of prose and poetry, none is able to sustain the distinction consistently. The criteria for what constitutes an acceptable level of poeticality in prose were unstable. The diverse conceptions of poetic style were tied to intellectual polemics and professional rivalries of the early- to mid-fourth century bce and reflect competing aims and ideals for rhetorical performance in prose.

The article deals with the invariant structure of the intellectual hero who is the main character typical of intellectual prose. The issue is studied on the material of modernist (“The Goat Song” by K.K. Vaginov, “The Gift” by V.V. Nabokov, “The Master and Margarita” by M.A. Bulgakov, etc.) and postmodern (“Lolita” by V.V. Nabokov, “The Black Prince” by A. Murdoch, “Flaubert's Parrot” by J. Barnes, etc.) types of intellectual novel. The narrative functions (figures of the “quasi-author”, narrator, author's mask), ideological and semantic concepts (intention to personal transformation and self-identification through textual understanding of the world, the figure of Another and oneself), and typological features the intellectual hero (choice of creative profession, craving for reading / writing, paradoxical behaviour, inaccuracy and approximation of perception of the world, etc.) in the context of the artistic “intellectual provocation” inherent in this type of prose are considered.

Full textAbstract:
In higher education context, many students encounter considerable difficulties in improving their literacy skills, which limits their ability to fully engage with course material and reach their academic potential. This study aims to explore how the use of intellectual diaries have significant influence in enhancing the literacy skills of university students enrolled in an English prose course. This study employed a qualitative research design with a case study approach focusing on in-depth examination of a single class of students in their natural classroom setting. The participants in this study were 34 undergraduate students enrolled in an English prose course at a state university located in Makassar city, Indonesia. Data were collected through three primary instruments: intellectual diaries, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis with six steps implementation stages. The findings revealed four key themes in dealing with students’ intellectual diary: enhanced critical thinking, improved reading comprehension and analytical abilities, increased self-reflection and metacognitive awareness, and greater engagement with course material. These findings suggest that intellectual diaries can be a valuable tool for promoting literacy development in higher education. The study's findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge on literacy education by providing empirical evidence of the benefits of intellectual diaries in an English prose course context.

Full textAbstract:
As virtues of intellectual character are commonly discussed, they aim at propositional intellectual goods. But some creative works—especially those in music and the visual arts—are not primarily intended to gain, keep, or share propositional goods such as truth, knowledge, and understanding. They aim at something else. Thus, to conceive of intellectual creativity in a way that accords with standard discussions of intellectual virtue is to exclude paradigmatic works of the creative intellect. There is a kind of puzzle here: it appears that we cannot maintain both the commonly-discussed notion of intellectual virtue and the claim that, say, Beethoven’s Ninth, or Monet’s Water Lilies, are central cases of intellectually virtuous creativity. We provide a two-part solution to the puzzle. First, we suggest that some works of music and visual art can convey propositional goods. Second, we appeal to the notion of acquaintance as an epistemic good that is conveyed through creative artistic and musical to an extent not conveyed in standard prose works. In this respect, intellectual creativity is the virtue that breaks the propositional mold of much contemporary virtue epistemology.

This study analyzes Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu's novel Yaban, which portrays the social and political transformations during the final years of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish War of Independence. The novel's protagonist, Ahmet Celal, is an educated officer from Istanbul who finds himself among the Anatolian peasantry and is confronted with the deep cultural and ideological divide between rural society and the urban intellectual elite. The research provides historical context, exploring the late Ottoman period and the effects of emerging nation-state ideologies. It also offers an overview of the portrayal of peasants in 19th- and 20th-century Turkish literature, emphasizing how representations evolved under the influence of modernization and sociopolitical changes. Particular attention is given to Yaban's narrative structure, character portrayal, and the literary depiction of the tensions between peasants and intellectuals. The study highlights that Yaban is a profound social critique that examines the mutual alienation and lack of understanding between the Anatolian peasantry and the intellectual elite. The novel sharply portrays the peasant class as backward, fatalistic, and indifferent, while simultaneously emphasizing their vulnerability and the tragic weight of their historical fate. The peasants' reactions, fears, and mindset reflect a deeper cultural divide that separates them from the urban intelligentsia. Karaosmanoğlu criticizes both the resistance of the peasants to modernization and the intellectuals' failure to truly engage with and uplift this marginalized class

Full textAbstract:
Subcultural markers of provincialism in the Polish-language prose of the post-Brest Union period are traced in the works of Melecjusz Smotrzycki, Ipacjusz Pociej, Marcin Broniewski, Kasjan Sakowicz and other writers. The signing in Brest of the union with Rome with the preservation of the eastern rite, the educational activities of writers in the secular and spiritual environment, the connection of central and provincial cities in the search for the unity of Christian creeds, the publication of the Bible in national languages etc were the main factors of their development. It is f the Baroque period contained mainly positive connotations. The development of this literature presupposed the activity of intellectual environments focused on publishing and educational centers, monasteries, brotherhoods, metropolitan cathedrals and famous shrines in honor of the Holy Mother of God or saints. The theological and literary schools of Vilno, Kraków, Lublin, Ostroh, Lviv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Volodymyr and others were considered such intellectual centers. They were joined by intellectual centers of small towns that operated at monasteries and temples (Sokal, Derman, Zbarazh, Dubno etc.). The author’s personality was a determining factor whether the area, where the author lives, will gain the glory of an intellectual, educational center. In general, the Polish-language polemical prose was distinguished by a harmonious combination of the concepts of the province and the center, which contributed to the development of a conceptual type of thinking. The article aims to show, on the basis of examples, the lack of development of the provincialism syndrome in the baroque literature of the Ukrainian-Polish borderland, which marginalized many important literary works of those authors who were considered exclusively local. In literature, there was a shift of the center of gravity from the capital to the provincial areas, a splendid example of which is the development of polemical prose.

Full textAbstract:
In the late 1920s – early 1930s, the Russian poet and novelist Konstantin Vaginov (1899–1934) wrote four novels which reproduce various discourses pertaining to the Russian humanities (philosophy, psychology, linguistics, study of literature) of that time. Trying to go back to the source of the corresponding theories and "hidden" quotations by identifying their authors allows us to include Vaginov's prose in the general intellectual context of his epoch. Analysing Vaginov's prose in the light of the history of ideas enables us to understand how a number of philological and philosophical trends were interpreted by particular groups of Soviet intellectuals (for instance, writers and poets who were Vaginov's contemporaries). Besides, it allows us to propose a new interpretation of Vaginov's novels and their evolution which corresponds to his perception of humanities around him: their many tendencies and peculiarities become unacceptable for the writer in the 1930s.

Abstract Ancient Greece developed prose as a medium for intellectual expression only after centuries of reliance on poetry for authoritative public speech. The impact of this centuries-long predominance of poetry on early literary prose is traceable both in a deliberate engagement with traditional poetry, and in the adoption of comparable enunciative strategies. After reviewing select examples from the extant corpus of archaic poetry, this paper draws a comparison between select inscriptional and non-inscriptional prose evidence. It then brings poetic and prose sources together to highlight shared indexical strategies, in particular the use of the first person singular, often introduced after a switch from the third person singular. The analysis of such shared pragmatic features can help shed light on the processes that led to the entextualization of early literary prose, and uncover the ongoing negotiation between the oral and textual dimensions that characterized the newly developing prose genres.

Full textAbstract:
Novelists in many literary traditions have come to terms with the distinctiveness of their art form by thinking about poets and poetry. The need to differentiate the novel from poetry is especially pressing for Arab prose writers because of poetry's preeminent status in that literary corpus. Many twentieth-century Arab intellectuals have valorized the novel as the representative genre of modernity–whether conceived as an absent ideal or the epoch of consumerist capitalism–while situating poetry as a backward element of contemporary life. But poetry has also offered prose writers such as Muhammad al-Muwaylihi, in A Period of Time, and novelists such as Tayeb Salih, in Season of Migration to the North, a way to reflect on the ambivalences engendered by modernity and the experience of colonialism. This tradition of using the novel to meditate on historical rupture and the fate of poetry continues into the present, even as poetry's relation to political and intellectual life becomes increasingly tenuous.

Full textAbstract:
Liang Yuchun's prose writing holds a unique value and significance in the history of modern Chinese literature. He approached writing with a passion for life, drawing upon concrete life experiences as creative material. His "whispering" style of youthful reflection reveals the intellectual atmosphere of an entire era. Through the interplay of his pessimistic and optimistic attitudes, he cast a skeptical eye on all forms of authority and truth, producing essays that shine with the light of human nature and uphold the spirit of freedom and independence. Deeply influenced by Charles Lamb and Six Dynasties literature, Liang's prose demonstrates the maturity of modern prose through a harmonious integration of Chinese and Western literary resources. Liang Yuchun is a neglected gem in the annals of modern literary history. Researching his prose offers new avenues for understanding prose writing and youth consciousness in the post-May Fourth era.

M. Golitsyn (1847–1932), a Russian public figure which reflect inner and outer events of his life in the historical period of 1917–1918 in Russia. The analysis is based on the ideas of N. D. Arutiunova who has proposed to differentiate two types of prose: hierarchical (syntagmatic) and actual prose, which is instrumental for the description of thematic and discursive structures and their correlations in a diary text. The syntax of Golitsyn’s reflections reveals the influence of the French tradition of the intellectual prose and moralistic literature.</em>

The intensive development of information technologies, web resources and literature, Internet portals and Internet publications dictate the demand for small-scale prose genres. New literary trends are reflected in Kazakh national prose in the books of the writer, publicist, screenwriter Didar Amantay. The ecology of consciousness, the modern life of the city, the philosophical issues of life are the current topics of his prose and essay writing. As a representative of postmodernism and poststructuralism, Amantay combines elements of different styles and trends of the past in his work, often with an ironic effect, develops a philosophical direction and a critical analysis of culture and society. A characteristic feature of his style of narration is that the writer freely moves from the comparison of images and motives in the national literatures of the world to the analysis of the Kazakh one, addressing his works of art to an exquisite, intellectual reader.

This is the time when his original artistic style was formed, which is studied in the context of the interrelation of elements and features, inherent in both popular and “elevated” literature. The analysis of the novel The Invention of Morel (1940) and the short story In Memory of Pauline (1948) allows us to trace how in Bioy Casares’s prose the features of the crime fiction genre are organically combined with philosophical fiction, and what enriching imprint on this artistic experiment has been left by the collaboration of the writer with Jorge Luis Borges and Silvina Ocampo.

Three women writers, Elisabeth Kostova, Doina Ruști, and Ruxandra Ivăncescu chose the vampire motif as the core of their historiographical metafiction. The principle of verisimilitude that dominates their prose writing in different percentages, transforms the narrative strategy into an initiation journey for interpreting various traces left behind by a mysterious character. They are blending into their prose writing historic archival facts, popular knowledge embedded in folktales and ballads, as well as important artifacts. As requested by the literary convention, their vampire becomes a time traveler, interested in maintaining power and offering protection to a few ones, a more intellectual and at times a good-natured character, stripped of his sensuality.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on the analysis of philosophic and existentialist collisions of Valerian Pidmohylny’s prose. He appeared to be the most consistent urbanist in the Ukrainian prose of the 1920s, as in Tretia Revolutsia (The Third Revolution) and Misto (The City) he showed two scenarios of the relationship between representatives of rustic and urban culture. The main theme of the novel is the brutal city occupation, its submission, and desecration. This path of fair revenge is anyway desperate for both winners and losers. The novel encompasses the process of a village-born person’s understanding and adoption of the elitist city culture and the way how a “black-earth” adds to the artistic values creation. In Misto, the factors that provided meaning to the existence were culture, creative work, and writing. However, the characters of Nevelychka Drama (A Little Touch of Drama) appear to be in the situation when the modernist belief in the art’s ability to change the world is lost, when no universal values define people’s behavior, and a moral choice does not agree with any authorities. Another Pidmohylny’s work, Povist bez Nazvy (The Untitled Novel), is one of the few direct fixations of traumatic experience of the early 1930s. Povist bez Nazvy focuses on the final questions of the human existence, when everything built over the foundations of being and cornerstones has lost its meaning and value. The hero of the novel feels like a homeless person, rootless, exhausted, and devastated by unbearable challenges. The last work of Pidmohylny is associated with reflections on the possibilities to escape the epoch and existence, which – recalling a sarcastic complaint of its hero – had better not coincide with the great convulsions of the beginning of the 20th century. Hashish was a temporary escape that ended up in even more catastrophic returning to the cage. Pashchenko, a rational person, took care of a rescue ampoule with poison beforehand – it guaranteed the permanent disappearance. Horodovsky almost tried the variant of a traceless disappearance in the throng, a ceaseless and homeless movement through new paths.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with comparative constructions (metaphors and similes)
 with names of literary characters. The paper notes that comparative constructions
 with precedent names in modern prose develop the traditions typical for Russian lit-
 erature of the previous period and consistently act as signs giving different types of
 culture. The material for the analysis includes texts of modern Russian prose. It is
 noted that precedent names of the characters of both Russian and foreign prose are
 widely represented in them. We have compiled a glossary that includes the names of
 literary characters widely known to native speakers. The paper shows in what aspects
 the names under consideration characterize the characters (appearance, actions and
 behavior, intellectual and moral qualities, etc.).
 The papermakes a conclusion that precedent names are used in compara-
 tive constructions of different structural types (metaphors; similes including
 verbs, adjectives, substantives; similes-appositions), while similes prevail, since
 they more clearly highlight a certain feature characterizing a person. The article
 notes that in the prose of recent years, the precedent names are consistently
 adapted to the depicted modern situations, which is manifested in the nature of
 their definitions. It is emphasized that in modern prose, tropes with precedent
 names are often characterized by ironic expression and combined with definitions that reduce the image. Based on the texts of modern prose, the study highlites comparative constructions, including the names of characters and their functions,
 such as intertextual, evaluative, plot-forming, personifying ones.

The research attempts to determine the nature of mythologism in modern prose of Kazakhstan, to explain the use of myths in the novels by Abdizhamil Nurpeisov, A. Zhaksylykov and N. Verevochkin, which are representatives of the spiritual and intellectual stream in the modern literary process. The subject of the authors’ research is the multifunctionality of myth, its semantics and structure-forming function in the works of Kazakhstani prose writers of the late XXth - early XXI centuries. In the first part of the article, the main attention is paid to the mythopoetics of A. Nurpeisov’s dilogy “Last Duty”, the interpretation of mythologeme and the meaning of the actions of the protagonist, which we consider as a mythological hero. The second part is devoted to the analysis of the mythological plot of Aslan Zhaksylykov’s novel “Singing Stones”, the interpretation of the symbolism of the sacred stone Yin-Yang. The next section deals with the novel of Nikolai Verevochkin, which we treat as a myth-novel.

Historians of Southeast Asia have been inspired by Fernand Braudel's classic The Mediterranean because of its focus on the sea and multidisciplinary approach, and because it seems to solve two recalcitrant historiographical problems: the definition of time and space, and the reconciliation of local identities and external influence. But while Braudel's prose and intellectual ambition are justly seen as inspiring, conceptual confusion and analytic evasion limit his contribution.

Full textAbstract:
The reputation of Robert Persons as a prose stylist has suffered from the repellant myth his opponents constructed around him. What if his works created a phenomenal stir at the time? A. L. Rowse, the most eloquent spokesman for the ‘common-sense’ English view of the matter, puts this down to the deceptively natural, easy prose of Persons, the smiling face of the villain. Haunted—if Rowse is to be believed—by the sound of the bells of St. Mary Magdalen, pealing backwards as if for a fire when he was expelled from Balliol in 1573, he nursed a lifelong grudge against his own nation for so dismissing his great intellectual gifts. No wonder Swift, himself a bitter, ‘conjured’ spirit, thought Persons the pick of Elizabethan prose writers. Everything he wrote, so smoothly and plausibly, was devoted to the overthrow of the State in England and the establishment of a Catholic monarchy under which Jesuits would exercise a monopoly of power. Rowse acknowledges Persons’ spirituality, notably evident inThe Christian Directory,but treats it as being of his active career a thing apart.

Full textAbstract:
The following article explores one way of using Latin sources to increase our understanding and appreciation of the surviving corpus of vernacular prose hagiography in Anglo-Saxon England. Although the saints' legends in prose make up a significant portion of the Old English literary remains, they have been relatively neglected in comparison with the saints' legends in Old English verse, such asAndreas, Guthlac AandGuthlac B, and Cynewulf'sElene. As the standard bibliographies reveal well enough, the prose texts have been studied mainly from the perspectives of language, stylistics, codicology and basicQuellenforschung, and much less than the verse texts for their literary, historical or broadly cultural interest. This is particularly true of the twenty-nine anonymous legends, some of which are not readily accessible in printed versions, and most of which need re-editing. But even the hagiographic writings of Ælfric, which are better known, have been read only occasionally for their narrative contentperse. Primary emphasis has fallen instead on Ælfric's considerable stylistic and prosodic achievements. Moreover, the two most recent monographs on Ælfric's intellectual and doctrinal concerns hardly touch on his saints' legends.

Full textAbstract:
This essay analyzes Adam Zagajewski’s recent memoir W cudzym pigknie (Another beauty), in which he reflects particularly on the decades of the 1960s and 1970s, when he was a student and young poet in Kraków. The essay addresses Zagajewski’s perspective on the city of Kraków, his reflections on communism in Wladyslaw Gomulka’s Poland, his sense of the relations between older and younger Polish generations, and his efforts to negotiate a personal balance between poetry and politics. Zagajewski’s memoir is discussed in the context of his own poetry, of Polish intellectual life, and of Kraków’s cultural history from the 1890s to the 1980s. Intellectual points of reference and comparison range from Tadeusz “Boy“ Żeleński and Stanisław Wyspiański in fin-de-siècle Kraków, to Witold Gombrowicz, Czesław Miłosz, and Adam Michnik in later twentieth-century Polish letters and politics. The essay, finally, attempts to assess the significance and implications of communism for Polish poetry, literature, and intellectual life.

This paper focuses on an exploration of Wattpad platforms and English prose course as blended learning models in undergraduate students. In the era of industrial revolution 4.0, the use of blended learning models is an alternative solution to the challenges of the times in integrating technological progress with learning. This study used descriptive qualitative research method to examine the concept of blending of wattpad platforms and English prose course. This research finding showed that wattpad platforms as a digital media resources contain intellectual property in the form of prose literary works with various genres. It is very interesting to be used as English teaching material. Wattpad offers easy access to English prose material so that it is more flexible to maximize the time and place of the English learning process. English prose that contains language content such as vocabulary, phrases, sentences, and dialogues which become the media of the writer to express his ideas to his readers. The use of wattpad platforms media helps students as literary readers in transferring the contents of literary works to their readers to obtain a more meaningful learning process because it is rich in moral and social values. In addition, wattpad platforms offer opportunities to respond and appreciate literary work through the reader response features provided by wattpad. Through blended learning design, English learning process can be done either face-to-face or online between lecturers and students to provide maximum learning outcomes. In the end, the learning design of the blending wattpad platforms with the English prose course is expected to be implemented as an alternative in learning English processes for advanced learners.

Full textAbstract:
Nussbaum attempts to undermine the sharp distinction between literature and philosophy by arguing that literary texts (tragic poetry particularly) distinctively appeal to emotion and imagination, that our emotional response itself is cognitive, and that Aristotle thought so too. I argue that emotional response is not cognitive but presupposes cognition. Aristotle argued that we learn from the mimesis of action delineated in the plot, not from our emotional response. The distinctions between emotional and intellectual writing, poetry and prose, literature and philosophy, the imaginative and the unimaginative do not cut along the same lines. That between literature and philosophy is not hard and fast: philosophy can be dramatic (eg Plato's dialogues) and drama can be philosophical (eg some of Shakespeare's plays), but whether either is emotional or not, or written in poetry or prose, are other questions.

Full textAbstract:
The appearance of On the Road in 1957 signalled the emergence of a new movement in American literature, soon to be called the Beat Generation (Kerouac 1957). Along with Allen Ginsberg's ‘Howl’ of 1956, Kerouac's work brought a new awareness of an intellectual counter-culture bubbling under the conservative surface of 1950s America. The content of these writers' poetry and prose, with its open and honest depiction of hetero-, homo-, and bisexual activity, drug abuse, petty crime, and social deviance was enough to create a sensation, but it is the style that gives the works their permanence and interest today. Kerouac himself used the term ‘bop prose’ to describe his efforts to reform fiction along the lines of avant-garde jazz, where immediacy of expression and technical fluency combine to open new possibilities, supposedly not present in more traditional methods of composition.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses Adrian Frankovsky’s method in his Marcel Proust translations in the 1920s–1930s. We analyse translations, their drafts, and Frankovsky’s forewords which were never republished and translation synopses preserved in his archive. The traditional rebuke of Frankovsky for literal rendering of Proust’s syntax is counterposed with a view on the task of translation as hermeneutical, as a “critical mime” of the original (Friedrich Schlegel) that precisely for this reason requires “literal rendering of syntax” (Walter Benjamin) and “supra-philological exactitude” (Gustav Shpet). Frankovsky’s philosophical education and translating experience preceding Proust project (modern German philosophy, Descartes, Oswald Spengler, Heinrich Wölfflin, Henri Bergson, Sigmund Freud, contemporary French prose, primarily Henri de Régnier) made him the adequate and essentially modern Russian translator for Proust. His paratexts to translations reveal his specific approach to fiction: Frankovsky was interested in the lucid, analytic manner of thought, intellectual humour, and irony, i. e., features primarily represented in syntax and historically underdeveloped in the Russian language. His other reference point was the idea of “noble clarity” coined by Mikhail Kuzmin, who appealed to Russian prose writers to learn “the laws of lucid harmony and ordonnance” in the “construction of periods and phrases” from European literature. Underlining in Proust’s prose similar qualities of “amazing, incredible precision,” “extraordinary precision,” “unprecedented precision,” and “the desire to achieve the most possible precision,” Frankovsky parted with the mainstream Proust criticism of his time that focused on the French writer’s minute analysis of involuntary psychological movements and sided with (or, rather, followed) Ernst Curtius and Vladimir Vejdle’s approach focused on intellectual lucidity of Proust’s style. The article presents Frankovsky’s translation method through the analysis of his synopses for four books of À la recherche du temps perdu, which are condensed and purified semantic skeletons of the original and a stylistic prototype of the translation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is the study of the early philosophical prose of the Russian symbolism theorist Vyacheslav Ivanov during the period of the 1880-s–1900-s. This issue has been understudied and requires approach based on interdisciplinary methods. The materials from the writer's archive and publications reflecting the development of his prose, characterized by a synthesis of philosophical, religious and artistic principles characteristic of the poetics of Russian symbolism, are analyzed. The materials analyzed include early prosaic sketches of Ivanov, fragments of his so-called Intellectual Diary, religious, philosophical, literary and critical essays, articles and other works. Emphasis is placed on the principles of forming a metaphysical discourse, as well as the genre dynamics of Ivanov’s early prose, which can be characterized by essay type of writing and the increasing importance of the philosophical parts. These works are compared to his prose of the early 1900-s published in the “Vesy” journal. It is concluded that Ivanov’s prosaic manner is characterized by the poetic and cultural discourse and his thesaurus is based on the metaphysical language of images. The important components of this discourse include principles of ancient aesthetics of thought and the revitalization of text via various metaphors. A vital role is played by esthesis as one of the methods of philosophical perception and aesthetic reflection of the sensual world. The texts of the Old and New Testaments and the Christian tradition prove to have an essential impact. The influence of works by Aristotle, Plato, B. Pascal, J. W. Goethe, V. Solovyov, F. Nietzsche on the development of metaphysical language of Ivanov’s prose is noted. The conclusion is made that the author’s early prose is the result of attaining an individual style, reflecting the phenomenology of the symbolist consciousness.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the use of objective observation, descriptive narrative, and physiological analysis in the prose of Vasile Alecsandri, highlighting the rich typology and characterological depth of his works. Alecsandri’s narrative style, rooted in realism and influenced by both Romanian and European literary traditions, captures a transformative period in Romanian society in the mid -19th century. His prose, often characterized as a “record of lives” in line with Balzac’s typological approach, serves as both a literary and historical document, reflecting a diverse range of human experiences and social realities. Through the analysis of Alecsandri's detailed character portraits and the exploration of the social milieu, the article emphasizes how the prose of the time blends artistic narrative with documentary value, offering insightful observations on human nature and societal evolution. The study argues that Alecsandri’s literary approach, blending historical reflection with emotional sensitivity, enriches the understanding of 19th century Romanian and European intellectual circles. His memoirs serve as acts of love and cognition, integrating personal experience with broader cultural narratives, while offering insight into Alecsandri’s own literary style, shaped by spontaneity, humour, and a deep connection to both folklore and European literary traditions.

Abstract This paper explores the ways in which transculturality manifests in the prose of Melinda Nadj Abonji. Besides Tauben fliegen auf [Fly Away, Pigeon] (2010), her well known and highly acclaimed novel translated into several languages, it also looks at her latest novel, Schildkrötensoldat [Tortoise Soldier] (2017). It is concerned with articulations of the experience of transculturality, closely related to the experience of territorial displacement. Tauben fliegen auf describes the life of a family of migrant workers in Switzerland whose background sets them apart from the milieu in which they live. Variations on national identity take on a key role. In the novel Schildkrötensoldat, a young man of modest intellectual abilities struggles to find his identity in the face of the threat of the Yugoslav Wars. In the language of her novels, Melinda Nadj Abonji recreates the transcultural interrelationships. Besides the sensitivity to metalinguistic issues, her novels make existence in a multicultural milieu tangible by incorporating multilingual text units. Multilingualism, however, not only characterizes the speech of the characters but also defines the discursive position of the narrator, which is the most distinctive and salient poetic feature of her prose. The possibilities of translating multilingual texts are also discussed in this paper.1

Full textAbstract:
Vlad Ioviță's true vocation is discovered with the publication of Trei proze (1971). The novella Se caută un paznic included in this volume is a first attempt at literary dystopia in our country, the author using humor and irony to unveil an artificial system with congenital cracks, powerless in the face of the impetuous energy of the authentic man. The other two novels and the writings published later focus on the existential crises of characters caught in the tribulations of erotic triangles. Blestemele and the poetry of eros, with their tumultuous challenges, are marked by an ambiguity always on the edge between violence and purity through the dramatic and at the same time lyrical interference of fatal passions and anguish, of impetuous love and death as cathartic liberation. Love as a raging demon with twists of exorcization raises Vlad Ioviță's narratives to the tension of an unmistakable style. The narrative voices of the hypersensitive characters interspersed with the cold and neutral authorial instance, endowed with a heightened sense of visual metaphor, turn a prose of admirable intellectual finesse.

Full textAbstract:
This study is the first comprehensive attempt to analyze the entire body of prose by Jeong Nae-gyo (鄭來僑). It approaches his writings by considering both his personal background and the historical context of the early 18th century. Although Jeong was an impoverished Jungin (中人), he maintained close ties with the elite ruling class. His era was marked by an intensifying desire for wealth and success, alongside significant upheaval among the ruling elite. Rather than merely depicting his personal conflict between poetry and livelihood, Jeong ascribed a positive meaning to poverty through the notion of jolbak (拙樸, unrefined simplicity), presenting it as a value superior to wealth and success. He shed light on the yeohangin (閭巷人, urban commoners) who upheld moral and intellectual values despite adverse economic and social conditions, depicting this self-definition as extending into a sense of moral responsibility toward those similarly disadvantaged. Moreover, his prose expresses a critical awareness that the greed of the ruling class not only led to their own downfall but also fueled the exploitation of the lower classes. Jeong’s prose can thus be seen as a response from the perspective of a poor Jungin to an age dominated by desire. The significance of his prose lies in its critical engagement with the underlying causes of social problems, through which it identifies the restraint of desire as an alternative value.

Full textAbstract:
The paper considers the demonstrative aspects of intertext in the prose by Valerii Shevchuk and focuses on the peculiarities of the works’ interaction with the Bible, mythology, and literature, which takes place at the level of different forms and types of intertext. Particular attention is paid to revealing the specifc ‘dialogue’ of V. Shevchuk’s works with their pretexts — hagiography, autobiographical and diary’s literature of Baroque. ɒ e examples discussed testify to the depth and ramifications of the intertextual dialogue in the writer’s prose, reveal the intellectual, philosophical, and elitist nature of his texts. A dialogue with the Bible, mythology, world and Ukrainian literature in the works by V. Shevchuk unfolds in the form of open and hidden quotations, allusions, reminiscences. These details aim at deepening the representation of ideas and themes, forming the subtexts, interpreting images. The writer creates a new artistic form — metatext — mainly through the reinterpretation of the pretexts, among which the works of the Baroque period (poetic, autobiographical, diary genres) and hagiography dominate. Transforming the pretexts at the level of contents, plot, genre, time and space, narrative, V. Shevchuk expands them with monologues, dialogues, descriptions, and details. In the process of interpreting prototexts, the writer resorts to modeling original images, in the context of which he actualizes some worldview points, reveals important moral, ethical, and philosophical problems. Allowing the perception of his work as a ‘textual game’, the writer, at the same time, does not reduce the role of intertext to the level of intellectual play. Intertext becomes a peculiar way of continuing the literary discourses of the past in a dialogue with them. They become re-read, ‘supplemented’ and thus brought once again into the continuous process of forming culture.

Full textAbstract:
Although Lewis describes his intellectual journey to the Christian faith in Surprised by Joy and The Pilgrim's Regress, the actual steps of his progress from Atheism to Theism are still a matter of controversy. Based on Lewis' letters, his diary All My Road Before Me and recently published sources (in particular ‘Early Prose Joy’), this paper gives an outline of the main steps of Lewis' philosophical progress during the 1920s. The first part sketches the five main stages Materialism, Realism, Absolute Idealism, Subjective Idealism, and Theism, and submits a proposal for their dating. The second part describes these stages in greater detail and discusses the reasons that urged Lewis to adopt a new philosophical position at a particular time. It will become apparent that a thorough philosophical understanding of these stages is an indispensable prerequisite for any serious effort to establish a chronology of Lewis' intellectual progress during these years.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents an analysis of Christian topics in prose works about the island of Kizhi. Methodologically, the study combines the approaches of studying the local text that have already become conventional, with the principles of historical poetics, bringing back the possibilities of diachronic analysis. This allows to take into account both the timeless semantic constants of the Kizhi Island image in literature, and the intellectual context of late Soviet literature, which is now attracting the attention of many researchers. 1960–70s are the period when the largest number of texts about the island appeared. The article offers a classification of the Christian topoi in the texts of that period. Three works by different authors are considered in more detail (Yu. Kazakov’ short story Adam and Eve, I. Mazuruk’s short story Kizhi, and V. Pul’kin’s book The Kizhi Tales), in which the Christian topic is represented both explicitly and implicitly — in the images of the church, icons, biblical story about Adam and Eve, gospel images of the apostles. In Soviet prose and poetry, the primordial religious meaning of Christian topoi is most often concealed in the subtext. The depiction of Christian symbols is ambivalent and requires legitimization: through folklore, through the theme of historical memory, dialogue of the past and present, etc. This kind of ambivalence clearly illustrates the complexity of the intellectual and spiritual atmosphere of the Thaw and the contradictory attitude of Russian literature towards the Christian traditions.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines Muhammad Iqbal’s critique of contemporary approaches towards Muslim education. In his writings, poetic and prose, Iqbal took on both the traditional religious authorities who administered the Madrasas and the modernists associated with the Aligarh College for failing to provide an education that was true to the ‘national character’ and to develop a synthesis of Islamic and western knowledge. While the former were criticised for ignoring modern intellectual developments, the latter were attacked for being intellectually captive to the West. At a broader level, this article employs Iqbal as a foil to debates over the empowering potential of western education. Iqbal’s views are examined against the background of attempts by Muslim intel-lectuals to negotiate between the adoption of a universal modern education and the development of an educational system that kept Muslims grounded in Islam and their ‘national character’. These negotiations took on a number of shapes, pedagogical and polemical as well as theological.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to contribute to a deeper understanding of Danish minimalism by performing a genre analysis of Solvej Balle’s four short prose books (brief fictional prose) — “&”, “Or”, “If ” and “Then” — written over a 23-year period, between 1990 and 2013. The four texts are connected by a commonality of motifs and thematic elements, identical form and linguistic structure and therefore they comprise a rather unusual tetralogy. Balle’s texts are viewed in the context of the development of Danish literature of that period with an emphasis on minimalist aesthetics and their origins. Balle belongs to a generation of writers associated with the flourishing of minimalism in Danish literature at the end of the 20th century. The characteristic features of her few works are their intellectual elitism and elaborate, sophisticated form. All of her works are experimental, but the four texts of the “tetralogy” are the quintessence of a genre experiment in search of a new minimal aesthetic. The article deals with the characteristic features of the formal organisation of the four books, including their linguistic structure that indicate the cross-genre nature of Balle’s texts and allow to identify them as a hybrid of a pointillist novel and a prose poem.

Mikhail Elizarov (born 1973 in Ukraine) undoubtedly belongs to the most “bizarre” and controversial contemporary Russian writers (more precisely, he is a Russian and Ukrainian writer). Elizarov is also known as a musician and a songwriter. He is the winner of literary award The Russian Booker Prize (in 2008) for his novel The Librarian (this novel was called one of the most controversial prize-winning novels). Elizarov’s literary works “balance” on the verge of postmodernist and realistic practice; the writer is known for scandalous but intellectual high-energy prose (sometimes he is compared to Nikolai Gogol, sometimes – to Vladimir Sorokin). The purpose of this article is to show and discuss distinguishing features of Elizarov’s prose, to identify central motifs and themes in his selected literary works. The story Fingernails is analyzed in this paper. Special attention is paid to Elizarov’s conception of madness and abnormality, and also to his point of view on relationship between “normal” and “abnormal” (strange, different from what is usual or expected).

The article analyzes the transformation ofcreativity in romanticism of the late 1820 s - 1830 s ideas, the interaction of romantics with newspapers and magazines in the second half of the 1830 s - 1840 s. and the appearance of the feuilleton novel as a genre of popular fiction. The success of F. Soulier, E. Sue, A. Dumas, and other authors works, published in periodicals, contributed to the emergence of ethical and aesthetic disputes about the feuilleton novelas a genre. Following Ch. Sainte-Beuve, who spoke out against "industrial literature", French intellectual elite attacked feuilleton novels, claiming the authors for damaging artistic taste and immorality. Meanwhile, the fields of "high" and "folk" romanticism constantly intersected, and in the course of dispute about feuilleton novels, the poetics of elite prose not only influenced popular fiction, but also voluntarily or involuntarily used its experience. In the process of this repulsion / attraction, the main types of popular literature were born, namely: detective story, love story, fantastic prose, etc.

Full textAbstract:
The following article deals with the story of two German Jewish brothers, Alfred Lemm and Siegfried Lehmann. The first—a forgotten journalist and writer, the second—a doctor and educator, the founder of the Ben Shemen Youth Village in Mandate Palestine. Through the specific story of the two brothers, the article traces the path of messianic antiurban ideas prevalent in expressionist avant-garde circles in pre–World War I Europe, to the circles of German Jewish Zionism and from them to Palestine-Israel. Though German expressionism was itself an urban intellectual phenomenon, expressionist prose often exemplified antiurban and antimodern sentiments, as in the case of Lemm's prose. According to Lemm, redemption from the ills of modern society shall be found in withdrawal from the modern city and return to physical and metaphysical “roots.” Lemm's antiurban attitude influenced his brother Siegfried and found its full manifestation in the founding of the Ben Shemen Youth Village in 1927.
