Full textAbstract:
The results of the study of the chronotope in Russian-language compositions based on the novel about Robinson’s adventures are presented. The material for the work was A. E. Razin’s novel “The Real Robinson” (1860) and Lev Tolstoy’s story “Robinson” (1862). The issues of the specifics of the representation of the chronotopic in the works of Russian writers are considered. The relevance of the study is due to the appeal to the universal of the chronotope, which contains an exhaustive toolkit for the artistic embodiment of images of space and time; as well as the search for new methods of literary analysis of the text. It is shown that in the analyzed texts, a kind of fusion of Russianlanguage compositions with a foreigncultural text in the aspect of a chronotope is realized. The similarities and differences in the rethinking of the story of Robinson are shown on the example of the model of textual connexity, the national specifics of the representation of the image of Robinson are indicated. It is noted that the external and internal chronotopes are retransmitted from work to work and create the basis for the emergence of the author’s intentions. It is proved that chronotopic analysis allows one to form an idea of the peculiarities of the Russian-language interpretation of the story of Robinson.

Full textAbstract:
The object of this research is the city viewed as a multilayered semantic phenomenon. The needs of transdisciplinary nature determine the vector of its analysis in light of the possibility of application of diagnostic approach, which incorporates the theoretical and practical aspects, cognitive and transformative sides. The goal consists in the development of diagnostic model of the city as a cultural phenomenon. The position is defended on the limitation of classical diagnostic search applicable to the so-called city. The prospects of its research correlate with the nonclassical interpretation of diagnostics, which views it as methodology of cognition. The basic method of this research is modelling. The development of diagnostic model of the city is founded on M. M. Bakhtin’s concept of chronotope. Namely chronotope is determines as the basic parameter underlying its construct. Incorporating the spatiotemporal parameters of the city and their cultural meanings, it allows recording the temporal-topos configurations in city motion, which reflect various qualitative states of its existence, set by the past, present and future. The author offers a ternary model of the city, consisting of historical-cultural, eventful, and innovative chronotopes. The formulated conclusions indicate that the proposed chronotopes can be viewed separately or following the principle of complementarity, which allows assessing the city from the perspective effective arrangement of urban space, as well as the presence of problematic fields therein.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Narrative structures serve the double function of selecting episodes and charac-ters to be included in the narration, as well as offering a generative mechanism for their sequencing, both functions being simultaneous and mutually interac-tive. According to Eco (1984), narrative structures are multilayered, including an abstract level of ideology. Few studies have been done on specific narrative subgenres, such as the historical novel. This article examines a historical novel by Latvian writer Karlis Zariņš (1938, 1948, 1975, 1985), which depicts a failed peasant uprising at Kauguri, Latvia in 1802. Bakhtine's (1978) theoreti-cal notion of chronotope is invoked, distinguishing the external chronotope— the general historical and geographic situation—from the internal chronotope—the sequence of individual transformations. In Kaugurieši, the ex-ternal chronotope is depicted as a sociopolitical chess game, in which the Rus-sian king and the German knights play active roles, the queen is chance, and the pawns (Latvian peasants) are helpless victims. The plot centers on a tragi-cally failed attempt by the Latvians to change the historical givens by becom-ing an active, collective force. The internal chronotopes reveal the paths of individual lives, some of which follow the abstract model of heroic quest and sacrifice. (Psychohistory)

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of determining the topological characteristics of models of the chronotope of a historical novel by P. Zagrebelny «Roxolanа». The purpose of the article is to highlight and characterize in the historical novel by P. Zagrebelny «Roxolanа» the key topos, which, through conceptualizing symbolic content, help to trace the relationship between the outer and inner spaces of the characters. One of the topical aspects of the study of the artist’s historical works was the study of their chronotope organization, which is explained by the true originality of many writer's works in terms of their spatial dimensions. The interpretation of chronotope through the category of event made it possible to introduce the concept of «chronotope model», which refers to a typical event, which is depicted in the plane of one work several times in relation to different heroes or the same hero or in the plane of different works. To represent this event, the author can choose different topographic and chronic parameters, while maintaining the invariant nature of the event. The conceptualisation of the symbolic content of key novel topos is deepened by the generalized, fundamental artistic realization of the author’s concept of «time as eternity». Models of chronotopes of the main characters: fights, atonement, victories, defeats, escapes, insights are realized by P. Zagrebelny in the novel «Roksolana» in the following topos: seas, rivers, rivers, mirrors, wells; pillar, columns, ladders, gates; islands, harem, hamam, palace Topkapі, ruin; stone, circle. The water topos in P. Zagrebelny’s historical novel «Roxolanа» has a double meaning: 1) the water element acts as a symbol of spiritual death and rebirth; 2) the water element acts as a power that can punish for sins. Topos of pillars, columns, ladders, gates in P. Zagrebelny’s historical novel, «Roxolanа», are associated with the symbol of the World Tree, which is characteristic of many peoples’ worldview, and correlates with the world axis, acting as one of the variants of division into Heaven and Earth. Topos of harem, hanum, palace Topkapі are connected with the organization of the personal space of Roksolana, which is marked by a closed structure.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the study in the article is the chronotope and the features of its functioning in Oleg Ermakov's travelogue novel «The Song of Tungus» (2017). The purpose of the study is to identify and classify the types of chronotopes characteristic
 of the author's work, to show their structure and role in the representation of the author's picture of the world. Oleg Ermakov's travelogue is based on the opposition
 of the event and historical and cultural chronotope associated with the ancient traditions and rituals of the Evenks. Аt the event level, the novel «Song of Tungus» represents two parallel developing storylines: the wanderings of a hereditary Evenk,
 later a «fugitive criminal», Mishka Malchakitov and the story of a young forester Oleg Shustov, who escaped from the army and the world of civilization to the edge of pristine nature. However, the historical and cultural chronotope is above the event chronotope, which is based on the idea of finding a homeland-paradise and its true purpose. It is he who represents the spiritual journey of the hero. Oleg Ermakov's novel is polyphonic. Different types of characters are shown here, and many of them have their own journey, their own path to the cherished goal, either inscribed in the mythopoetic tradition, or existing separately from it. For example, Dmitriev's goal – to become the director of the reserve – is fundamentally different from the goal of Shustov and similar young ascetics who seek to create a model of an ideal reserve.
 This line is especially vividly demonstrated in the third part of the novel, where the author renounces monosubjectivity and a «chorus of voices» sounds.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the research in the article is the peculiarities of artistic time in the novels of M.A. Kuzmin. The object of the research is the novels by M. A. Kuzmin "The Adventures of Aim&#233; Leboeuf" and "The Journey of Sir John Fairfax through Turkey and other notable countries". The purpose of the study is to discover the specific features of time as a chronotope parameter in the artistic space of M.A. Kuzmin's novels. The authors of the article identify a range of tasks: to determine the meaning of the term chronotope, its functions, the role of the category "artistic time" in the binary structure of the chronotope; to analyze the novels of M.A. Kuzmin from the point of view of following literary traditions and innovation in the aspect of subjectivity/objectivity of perception of time by heroes, temporal ways of representing events and their correlation, including types of time in the canvas Romanov. The methodological tools were made up of a cultural-historical method used within the framework of the chronotopic approach, which allowed for a diachronic analysis of M.A. Kuzmin's novels; structural-descriptive and descriptive-functional methods aimed at researching works from the point of view of the structure and functions of the object. The novelty of the research lies in the use of a chronotopic approach in the analysis of Kuzmin's works with the condition of isolating the category of time, the conceptual category that decodes the author's model of the world, carries out the relationship of the work and the objective world. Such a principle of temporality in the study of M.A. Kuzmin's novels exposed the plot time, the subjective perception of time by the characters, the author's time, revealing the writer's concept, as well as the aspectual and subjective modal properties that form the writer's idiosyncrasy. The results of the study can be used in the disciplines of the humanities cycle in schools, educational institutions of secondary special education, and universities. As a result, the authors of the article came to the following conclusions. M.A. Kuzmin follows literary traditions in understanding the meaning of the artistic chronotope and its functions, highlighting time as the leading principle in the structure of the chronotope, in the embodiment of different forms of time. The writer's innovation is represented by the inclusion of a rapid change of events, the effect of omission, the introduction of inversions into chronology, the use of several forms of time, the subjectivity of the narrative, the creation of a new image of the hero

Full textAbstract:
The novel “The Daughter of the Merchant Zholobov,” written by I. T. Kalashnikov (1831), reflects the formation of the Baikal chronotope within Russian literature. The Baikal space, as represented by Kalashnikov, is associated with the autochnotes of Siberia (Buryats): brigands and travelers. In this novel, emphasis is placed on the connection between the Baikal space and the Buryat ethnos. Buryats are depicted as guides for Russian travelers and adversaries of the brigands illegally occupying the Baikal region. The brigands are portrayed as purveyors of pagan ideologies concerning Lake Baikal. An aesthetic appreciation of the Baikal area is afforded to Christian travelers. The strategy of creating the Baikal landscape represents the theistic model of the world. Baikal is empowered with ethical potential within the framework of the subject of the writer’s plan. The chronotope of Lake Baikal is the space of the road. At the core of the Baikal chronotope is an extreme crossing, accomplished either by land along the lakeshore or by sea. Both the natural and social extremes are highlighted in the Baikal chronotope. In addition, the chronotope of Lake Baikal incorporates maritime chronotope markers, functioning as both an extreme pathway and a representation of eternity. The temporal character of the Baikal chronotope is characterized as extreme, encompassing the sacred moments of experiencing eternity. The aestheticization of the Baikal space is best characterized by the categories of the sublime and majestic. This paper analyzes four distinct axiological perspectives, each proposing a different value system for the chronotope under examination.

Full textAbstract:
Subject of the article: spatial-temporal characteristics of power in the philosophical theory of M. Foucault. The main methodological strategy of the study: the analysis of the Yalta world in the framework of the Fukian space-time theory of power. However, the theoretical developments of M. Foucault are used to study the features of the Yalta world not as a final solution to the problem. The realities of the Yalta world serve as a platform for conducting an experiment aimed at finding out the epistemological possibilities of the classical Fukian theory of power. For a better understanding of the space-time structures of power that M. Foucault uses (but rarely reveals and describes in detail), the concepts of “chronotopicity of power” and “topochronicity of power” are introduced. The conclusion is made about total processality as the ontic basis of power in M. Foucault. This gives Pax Yalta the status of a third between the episteme of power and the dispositive of power. In a series of changes of the Fukian chronotopes of power (“Shepherd”, “Policeman”) Pax Yalta has a special character. From the point of view of the topos, the Yalta world is a fact of the developed chronotope “Policeman” characteristic of the New Time. But from the point of view of temporality, the Yalta Myrrh is a fact that makes it related to the Middle Ages (the chronotope “Shepherd”). The gap between the topos and the chronos of power explains many of the paradoxes of the modern world and international relations in particular. And the ontic processality of the power says that the revealed imbalance is characteristic of the period of formation of a new system of power, possibly in the format of a higher synthesis, which will be carried out outside of public international law. Its basis is a sense (perception) of the correctness of a certain model of time and space of power, which will end (and not begin) with international legal procedures.

Full textAbstract:
The author of the article focuses her research on the works of the renowned intellectuals who made a special contribution to the decolonization of education and of humanitarian knowledge. Most of these authors were born shortly before the independence or during the first decade thereafter. The formation of sovereignty took place before their eyes, which, in many ways, determined the vector of their professional interest. The article places a special emphasis on the innovative approaches of the Africans to the study of Africa’s past and present. What makes their works unique is their use of their own experience, both academic and personal, obtained during the colonial and postcolonial eras—at the crossroads of the epochs. As a theoretical and methodological basis, the article uses the ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin, the founder of the chronotopic method of research in the humanities, particularly those concerning the “chronotope of the path/road.” The value of Bakhtin’s tools increases even more when applied to the research of historical and cultural (“civilizational”) crossroads. The author of this article analyzes the current, transitional situation in the development of African studies from the standpoint of chronotope. The article emphasizes that most scholars have adopted a universal academic model for the pursuit of scientific knowledge. However, a change has become obvious, both in the very matrix of African studies and in their subjects and style. And if Africa was once studied exclusively in the context of European history, mainly from the outside, at present, much more attention is proposed to be paid to the problems of its study from the inside. As a result, the central place in the works of African authors is occupied by the problems of race, ethnicity, identity, the formation of states and nations; and issues of periodization of the history of the continent, its stocktaking, reconstruction, and representation are becoming a matter of discussion.

Full textAbstract:
In much dystopian SF, the city models a society which represses the protagonist's sense of historical time, replacing it with a sense of "private" time affecting isolated individuals. This phenomenon appears in dystopian SF novels of 1960-75--including Thomas M. Disch's 334, John Brunner's The Jagged Orbit, Philip K. Dick's Martian Time-Slip, J. G. Ballard's High-Rise, and Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgren--as well as some precursors--including Wells, Zamyatin's We, Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. In these novels the cities also reveal in their chronotopic arrangement the degree to which revolutionary forces can oppose the dystopian order. While the earlier dystopias see revolution crushed by despotic state power, those of 1960-75 see it thwarted by the dehumanizing effects of capitalism. The period from 1960-75 ends in resignation to an existence in which individual action can no longer effect political change, at best tempered by irony (Disch, Delany).

The thesis is a retrospective reporting and a critical examination of HyperSteel. This is a hypermedia application for architectural education intended to function as a learning bridge between structural knowledge-acquisition and intuitive use. It is one of many parallel developments in software design that have occurred around the world in the last decade (Mitchell 1995).

This thesis argues that these related concepts and images can be distilled from cinema and other established disciplines, and adapted into a common aesthetic for hypermedia. The thesis posits a chronotopic theory with respect to the computer-human interface, whose integral imaginative mechanism is the click-jump of the user interface device. Mikhail Bakhtin's chronotopic event is borrowed from literary theory to describe the progression and development of time and space as they intersect (Bakhtin 1937).

The intention of the thesis is- to identify, and theorise digital chronotopicity as it functions in architecture education. My conclusion is that there is a role for the media practitioner and theorist in making interactive software tools effective in the context of computer technologies and architecture education.

Full textAbstract:
Bakhtin as a philosopher and a student of the novel is intent upon the novel’s role in the history of consciousness. His project fails if he is wrong about the dialogic nature of consciousness or the cultural centrality of the novel as the only discourse that can model human consciousness and its intersubjective character. Inventing the Novel is an argument in four stages: the Introduction surveys Bakhtin’s life and his theoretical work in the 1920s, which grounded his work on the novel, as investigated in following chapters. Chapter 1 sketches Bakhtin’s view of literary history as an agonistic dialogue of genres, concluding with his claim that the novel originates as a new way of evaluating time. Chapter 2 explores Bakhtin’s theory of chronotopes: how do forms of time and space in ancient fiction delimit the possible representation of the human? Chapter 3 assesses Bakhtin’s poetics of genre in his account of Menippean satire as crucial in the history of the novel. Chapter 4 uses Petronius to address the prosaics of the novel, exploring Bakhtin’s account of how novelists of “the second stylistic line” orchestrate the babble of voices expressive of an era into “a microcosm of heteroglossia,” focusing it through the consciousness of characters “on the boundary” between I and thou. Insofar as this analysis succeeds, it evinces the truth of Bakhtin’s claim that the role of Petronius’s Satyrica in the history of the novel is “immense.”

This introductory chapter provides a brief history of the English language in China. At the end of the 1970s, as China was emerging from the political maelstrom of the Cultural Revolution, English was spoken by only a relative handful of academics, foreigners, translators, and interpreters. English became a required subject when university entrance examinations were reinstated in 1978, and foreign language education began to take off again in the early 1980s at the beginning of the “reform and opening up” (gaige kaifang) period, a time when the socialist ethos of state, economy, and society was gradually dismantled in favor of a model of explosive economic growth and private individualism. Ultimately, the prominence of English in China today is the result of historical relations of colonialism and power that forged its global presence and the hierarchical ordering of linguistic inequality. The chapter then presents an overview of contemporary speech practices and English language learning in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang. It also considers two of the concepts that Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin pioneered: heteroglossia and the chronotope.

Full textAbstract:
This study proposes to establish a theoretical model of the system of verb tenses of the indicative with an incomplete aspect in French and Italian. It is mainly based on Gustave Guillaume’s theoretical conception of tenses within the framework of the psychomechanics of language. In particular, it is based on Gustave Guillaume’s model for the present tense. This model, which analyses the present tense into two chronotypes (α and ω), is extended to the analysis of the imperfect and future tenses. The study shows that the proportion of the two chronotypes is reversed in the imperfect tense and the future tense in the two languages, which helps to explain the differences in the use of these tenses. The French imperfect may be more modal after a hypothetical si, the Italian imperfect remains more anchored in temporality while the Italian future tense is more modal. Conversely, the Italian future tense is very modal while the French future tense is more categorical and therefore temporal. This analysis leads to a coherent systemic model of the incomplete tenses of the indicative in which the sum of chronotypes is constant.

My assessment of this spectacle as part of the ever-more discrepant Latina/o archive, which consists of widely diverging supra-Latina/o and even post-Latina/o violentologies, underscores the need for a paradigm shift in our understanding of the ontological and epistemological pasts, presents, and futures of Latina/o Studies.

Full textAbstract:
Beginning with the coining of “terraforming” by science fiction writer Jack Williamson, this chapter explores the boundaries of the term in scientific discourse and in fiction, focusing attention on its significance for stories of interplanetary colonisation. It compares terraforming with its Earthbound counterpart, geoengineering, thus highlighting how science fiction explores modes of relating to Earth’s environment. It introduces James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis and explains its significance for terraforming, and explores the nature of science fiction’s environmental engagement and its intersections with ecocritical concerns. It also introduces the concept of nature’s otherness and of landscaping, and connects the latter to Bakhtin’s chronotope, thus delineating an analytical framework for exploring how space and time is invested with human value and meaning in science fictional narratives.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how the presence of the contemporary, high-tech coffee economy disrupts the myth that the “era of coffee” was an episode in Brazil's agricultural past that has been left behind by the new, modern Brazil. Once again, two timescapes exist alongside one another, rarely in dialogue, and sometimes in conflict. Santos, as both a historical port and a twenty-first-century hub of the coffee trade, is a contact zone between these two chronotopes: the coffee of the past versus the coffee of the present. Nowhere is this clash more visible than in the Santos Coffee Museum and the surrounding industrial port, where the disjuncture between the “coffee of myth” and the “coffee of reality” is analogous. With coffee, a variant of the bandeirantes myth has served as the framing trope of progress. Coffee production in Brazil has changed dramatically over time, but divergent modes of production are assimilated into the bandeirantes plot.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of “other places” (according to M. Foucault’s terminology) in F.V. Gladkov’s novel “Cement”, which has become one of the examples of the production novel. The author’s attention to heterotopic spaces as territories between the not-place and the good place is connected with the desire to convey the very process of overcoming the laws of the possible through the efforts of a new man who builds a garden city. Proletarian ideology, while proclaiming a new world, relies, however, on models rooted in culture, endowing them with a different meaning. The Krupskaya Orphanage, the House of Soviets, the Comintern Club, sacralised as replicas of the Future in the pitch black present, are established in the place of the former family home, the estate with a garden. The Other existence had to appear out of nowhere, but it had to have recognisable features so as not to shock. The article analyses the specifics of existence within “heterotopia”, as it is understood by the artist and embodied by selected characters. The result is a contradictory picture of the future, where there are no places adapted for small life. In such a chronotope, personality in its usual sense (as a carrier of individuality) does not exist. The heroes of the novel are either masses or inanimate objects whose fates are given to the Party-Demiurge.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reflects on the role that foreigners play in Chinese modernism. In numerous interactions, Chinese people drew on circulating images and discourses as models of identity defining the nature of both these foreign others and themselves. No longer simply a national outsider, the “foreigner” is perceived as a particular racialized, gendered, and classed figure in a process called “erasure.” This erasure is significant for two reasons. First, emptying foreigners of agentive individuality makes them complicit within the discursive formation of chronotopic modernity. Foreigners are necessary to the English language enterprise in Shenyang not merely because they are native speakers but, even more importantly, because they are catalytic intermediaries. The path to modernity exists through them and the template established by the West, and their presence (or absence) authenticates (or delegitimates) the actions of Shenyangers who engage with this discourse. Second, however, such erasures also make them ripe for appropriation. Without individuality, the foreigner is a caricature of the semiotic values attributable to “the West,” allowing a subject position called “the otherness of self.”

Full textAbstract:
The article offers an analysis of some structural features of the poetic semantics of the poem The Song of Everlasting Sorrow by Bai Juyi (白居易《长恨歌》, 806) in biographical, historical and cultural contexts, and also draws a parallel with possible prototypes. In this regard, the main purpose of the article is to consider some semantic and structural connections related to the chronotope, archetypes and prototypes on the material of the The Song. During the work on the study, it was found out that the narrative model of “avoiding facts” (避实就虚) was used in the plot of the poem, superimposed on factual material and related to the biography of the emperors Han Wudi (汉武帝) and Tang Xuanzong (唐玄宗).

Full textAbstract:
Statement of the problem. The article formulates the problem and purpose of a study focused on identifying the characteristics of the doctors life-world stability during the pandemic associated with COVID-19. The problem of this study is due to the contradiction between the desire of people for stability, certainty, the ability to control their lives and the circumstances and conditions of the pandemic regime that limit people in such aspirations and opportunities. Purpose of the article: to recognize the characteristics of the doctors life-world stability during the pandemic associated with COVID-19. Methodology (materials and methods). The research methodology was composed of systemic anthropological psychology, which allows a person’s living space to be considered as his (human) not linear, but multivariate future. At the same time, it becomes possible to consider the processes of self-fulfillment in space and time (chronotope), that is, in a life scan that has not yet taken place, but which a person is a part of. The methodological potential of systemic anthropological psychology in conjunction with the conceptual foundations of the theory of life self-fulfillment allows us to consider the human life-world stability as an opportunity for life self-realization of the project of one’s life. This project just makes up such a characteristic of a person that can manifest itself precisely in the processes of life’s self-fulfillment. In order to maintain the chronotopic logic of human life in the context of this study, we used the author's methodology “Study of the human life-world stability” (Loginova, 2012). The total sample size was 78 doctors: 58 - doctor on duty; 20 - attending doctor. Research results. For the first time, data were obtained on the characteristics of the doctors life-world stability during the pandemic associated with COVID-19. The specifics of changing the time mode of events, the emotional background, the continuity of personal history and the decrease in reflexivity are key. According to the above parameters, significant differences were found in the indicators before the events associated with the special epidemiological regime of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and during the pandemic. Conclusions in accordance with the purpose of the article. The materials presented will allow psychologists to take these results into account when working with doctors who have particularly experienced the period of the pandemic associated with COVID-19, keeping these parameters in focus as targets for psychological assistance. The obtained data actualizes the need to develop special psychological support programs when leaving the special epidemiological regime of a pandemic.
