The article gives an interpretation of the term "proper name", defines the types of nouns in the literary text, and examines how the external and internal world of a person is described through the name of a person. Factual material -based on the works of Russian writers, describing a person's appearance through a personal name is an important element of Russian fiction. The analysis of Russian personal names in the texts taken from the works of Russian writers shows that carefully selected names of heroes can serve as an important tool in the development of the inner world, moral qualities an

Abstract:
Abstract Paronymy—ambiguity that is not sheer ambiguity—is underdiscussed by philosophers of language. And hardly anyone has noticed that proper names are paronymous; different occurrences of a single name have slightly and subtly different referents. This paper invokes that fact to illuminate some issues in metaphysics: a puzzle about fictional characters; Jennifer Saul’s phenomenon of referential opacity in the absence of opacity-inducing operators; the relation between persons and bodies; death; personal identity through time; and Peter Ludlow’s argument for the zany claim that the distinct

Abstract:
The article deals with personal proper names translation from Russian into English. Personal names are culturally significant elements and very often raise questions and present difficulties in translating from one language to another. Despite the developed system of transliteration and transcription, translators always face the problem of the cultural specificity of the proper name and the personal name as its variety. The novels of the English-writing Russian author Olga Grushin offer the internal translation of personal names, those done by the bilingual author herself.

Abstract:
Itsik Kipnis’s 1926 Yiddish novel Months and Days: A Chronicle, was one of the first literary accounts of the pogroms of the Russian Civil War. Although it reads like fiction, the text includes the names of real-life perpetrators and victims and also provides other factual information about what took place in Slovechno, Ukraine, in July 1919. Kipnis’s novel is not only about facts. It is intensely personal: the young author had just gotten married when the pogroms in his region began. The larger narrative thus consists of two seemingly incongruous components: a love story, and a story of neighborly violence. Kipnis weaves together the emotions of love, tenderness, and care with fear, rage, resentment, and bitterness. What emerges is a deeply experiential account of the history of violence in Eastern Europe after World War I.

Abstract:
This essay explores the iconic figure of the "rubber baron," during the rubber boom era (1890-1920) in the Amazon. Portrayed by travelers and fiction writer as Janus-faced, the rubber baron can be both elegant and brutal. Historical names of Rubber Barons all exemplify the double-sided nature of this type of individual. In this essay the author argues that, mirroring personal and cultural attributes of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda’s notion of the "homem cordial”, the rubber baron evades simple characterizations, which makes him a unique social type and a sinister by-product of colonization in Latin America. Liminal in his ability to suspend his brutality, the rubber baron can become a gentleman and then rapidly return to his original barbaric state. This allows him, for example, to traffic between the Amazonian rainforest and Paris with ease, until all his wealth is wasted and he is then forced to return to his rubber estate, once again, to re-build his fortune. Finally, the essay posits that the ambiguous character epitomizes the rubber industry. By wearing different masks the rubber baron conceals from the "civilized world" the horrors of slavery, rape, torture, and mass murder that were perpetrated in Amazonia's hellish gardens of rubber.

Abstract:
Thanks to the Old Norse literature we have an large corpus of slave names to consider. When analysing these names, we arrive at the unfortunate conclusion that in many (most?) cases these names look like fictious, generative names, created to fit with the thrall topoi in the narrative. This is evident in the enumeration of thrall names in the poem Rígsþula, where all the names for male and female slaves are highly derogatory, obviously to make a statement of these unfree people being firmly at the bottom of society and to be looked upon with contempt. There are some names on slaves which have an origin in Celtic language, which are interesting, and some probably have a historical background. In the will of freed slaves, mentioned before, all former slaves have ordinary personal names that we find among free people. This raises the question if freed slaves took or were given a new, proper and Christian name at the manumission.

Full text
Abstract:
Focusing on one of the most salient aspects of linguistic politics, the politics of naming, Mecsnóber establishes a parallel between the fictional migrations and name changes connected to the family of Leopold Bloom, the Dublin-born protagonist of James Joyce’s 1922 novel Ulysses, and real historical processes in the Europe that the writer knew. Starting with readings of accounts of the names and migrations of Bloom’s ancestors in “Circe” and “Ithaca,” the Mecsnóber explores the context of Jewish assimilation and European nationalisms, and finally zooms in on the period surrounding World War I. Involving extensive border changes and inducing large-scale migrations of ethnic minorities, both the war and the peace treaties triggered a wave of name changes: territories and cities were officially renamed and citizens were encouraged to express their national allegiance through changing foreign-sounding personal names into “national” ones. Writing most of Ulysses during the war and inserting most of the references to specific name changes into the text in the year following the Paris Peace Conference, 1921, Joyce’s composition history suggests a response to a very topical issue: the revision of borders and names with a view to obliterate and rewrite complex histories of migrations.

Abstract:
A fictional adaptation of the best-selling non-fiction book of the same name written by journalist Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation (2006) divided critics and has been widely considered as one of director Richard Linklater’s less successful films. Thematically, the film chimes with Linklater’s personal commitment to vegetarianism, animal rights and workers’ rights, political perspectives which are, by the director’s own admission, at odds with his Texan identity. This chapter discusses Richard Linklater through the incongruities and politics of Fast Food Nation. It argues that the film and the director harbor iconoclastic and commercial sensibilities and explores how these seemingly conflicting spheres are reconciled, or not, through Linklater’s political beliefs.

Abstract:
In Patrick Modiano’s Dora Bruder (1997), the random finding of a teenager’s name in a World War II-era newspaper by a narrator who both obsessively identifies with her through personal and familial experiences and relentlessly probes the temporal gap that separates them leads to a hybrid text: neither entirely fictional nor claiming archival legitimacy, it relies both on documentary evidence and imagined scenarios of the past. The 2014 Nobel-award winner’s narrative exhibits features common to the historiographic novel or “roman d’archives,” inviting comparisons with other major publications in the field of Holocaust or World War II fiction. However, in contrast to these texts, writing represents for Modiano simultaneously a contestation of Dora’s erasure from collective memory and a ceremonial act honoring her untimely disappearance in the horrors of the Holocaust, in other words a “hauntology” (Derrida).

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract References to scholars like Aristarchus, Chaeris, Chrysippus, Aristodemus, and Didymus indicate that the Pindar scholia are based, however remotely, on Alexandrian hypomnemata. At some point, or more likely, at several different points, scholarly opinions on individual words and phrases were compiled and paraphrases (sometimes in duplicate and triplicate) recorded into a large book, from which the marginal notes in our manuscripts are derived. The scholia in the Vatican recension (V), which cover in various manuscripts all four books of the odes, offer the kind of information provided by scholia to other poetic texts for use in Byzantine schools, prose paraphrases, background information, and summaries of opposing views on disputed interpretations. The scholia to the Ambrosian manuscript (A), which are preserved only for the first twelve Olympian odes, tend to cite more authorities than the scholia to the manuscripts of the V tradition, which often reproduce opinions only, without individual names; but I have not distinguished here between the two traditions, because the A scholia, despite their greater detail, do not seem to represent more accurately than the V scholia the substance of the original commentaries.

Abstract:
Necrofiction is defined and situated in relation to other contemporary literary forms such as trauma writing (Caruth), filiation narratives and field or documentary literature (Viart), biofiction and restaurative fiction (Gefen), historical inquiry (Jablonka), and authotanatography (Weinmann). Drawing on Pierre Nora’s work on realms of memory, François Hartog’s examination of presentism, and, more importantly, Achille Mbembe’s theorization of necropolitics, the introduction lays the conceptual and contextual framework for understanding the singularity of writing on death and the dead as a defining feature of the ethos of contemporary fiction. Writers use this genre as a form of literary action through a polemical and creative dialogue with other forms memorialization such as family genealogy, historical writing, and official national, ethnic, or religious discourses. Necrofiction often challenges the social, cultural, and political assertions of these non-literary forms in the name of a personal, intimate, lived engagement with death, the dead, and their legacy. Necrofiction seeks to instil meaning into the symbolic body of the dead but, in so doing, is always on the verge of erasing their radical difference and taming their alterity. This contemporary form allows writers to reclaim a representational regime of fiction that can recover from the semiotic and ethical paralysis of trauma writing while also testing literature’s ability to account for the lived experience of death.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter argues that in Annie Ernaux’s Les Années (2008), the (post)colonial, although frequently interwoven in the subject’s personal story and the historical narrative it projects, represents a vanishing point, being as much seen, heard, and named as it is overlooked, muted, and miscalled. The (post)colonial brings together parallel narrative lines that seem completely disparate even as they recede or advance towards remote or proximal points of juncture. Yet, in contrast with the subject’s keen awareness of the colonial phenomena during the decades of decolonization, her espousal of a growing societal discourse around immigration and racism largely conceals or overlooks the colonial roots of these phenomena. In Ernaux’s ‘roman total’, the experience of silence and the state of non-belonging enhance the sense of tonal disconnection and temporal dislocation, shedding new light on the concept of ‘colonial aphasia’ and providing insight into the ways the colonial remains peripheral in social discourse.
