Abstract:
From the end of the 17th century, the rich bestiary of the fables offers an ideal field of exploration to test the hypothesis of the topics of sound. Among the many crows, storks, roosters, owls, pigeons, sparrows, eagles, peacocks, nightingales, most of them have a singular, recognisable, imitable voice. All or almost all of them are anthropomorphised, as well as speak and play a major role in fiction. This article seeks to address the following questions based on the fables of La Fontaine, Perrault, Furetière, Fénelon and Mme de Villedieu in addition to Philippe Desprez and Houdar de la Mott

Abstract:
В настоящее время вырос интерес к личности подростка, что во многом продиктовано доминированием антропоцентрического подхода в современной науке и расцветом подростковой литературы, начиная с середины ХХ века. Центральной темой произведений, посвященных такой важной и уникальной фазе взросления, становится поиск ответа на вопросы о смысле жизни и обретении самоидентичности (социальной, исторической, культурной, национальной, расовой, сексуальной и т. д.). Данная статья посвящена исследованию кризиса религиозной веры молодого человека и его дальнейшего самоопределения на материале рассказа Джон

Abstract:
John Updike’s use of setting in his fiction has elicited different and even conflicting reactions from critics, varying from symbolic interpretations of setting to a sense of confusion at his use of time and place in his stories. The present study is an attempt at examining John Updike’s treatment of binary settings in Pigeon Feathers and Other Stories (1962) to reveal theme, characters’ motives and conflicts. Analyzing Updike’s stories from a structuralist’s perspective reveals his employment of two different places and times in the individual stories as a means of reflecting the psychologica

Integral to encouraging positive experiences with these creatures has been the use of cute aesthetics that aim to endear companions to their human users. During this time there has also been a growth in online communities that engage in cultural production through fan fiction responses to existing cultural artefacts, including the widely recognised ele

Abstract:
The concept of the “writer flâneur”, as developed by Walter Benjamin, sought to make sense of the seemingly chaotic nineteenth century city. While the flâneur provided a way for new urban structures to be ordered, it was also a transgressive act that involved engaging with urban spaces in new ways. In the contemporary city, where spaces are now heavily controlled and ordered, some members of the city’s socio-ecological community suffer as a result of idealistic notions of who and what belongs in the city, and how we must behave as urban citizens. Many of these ideals emerge from nineteenth cen

Abstract:
I. Happy Endings Chaplin’s Modern Times features one of the most subtly strange endings in Hollywood history. It concludes with the Tramp (Chaplin) and the Gamin (Paulette Goddard) walking away from the camera, down the road, toward the sunrise. (Figure 1.) They leave behind the city, their hopes for employment, and, it seems, civilization itself. The iconography deployed is clear: it is 1936, millions are unemployed, and to walk penniless into the Great Depression means destitution if not death. Chaplin invokes a familiar trope of 1930s texts, the “marginal men,” for whom “life on the road is

Abstract:
In one of the earliest films about a whistleblower, On the Waterfront (1954), the dock worker Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando), who also works for the union boss and mobster Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb), decides to testify in court against him and uncover corruption and murder. By doing so he will not only suffer retribution from Friendly but also be seen as a “stool pigeon” by his co-workers, friends, and neighbours who will shun him, and he will be “marked” forever by his deed. Nonetheless, he decides to do the right thing. Already it is clear that in most cases the whistleblowers are not simpl

Abstract:
Abstract Júlio César de Mello e Souza (1895–1974), who used the pseudonym Malba Tahan, was professor of mathematics who published 118 books, more than half of which were “Oriental tales” extolling so-called Oriental wisdom. He popularized mathematics through a fictional medieval Muslim scholar who traveled from place to place solving mathematical puzzles, and whose extraordinary powers of calculation become emblematic of Muslim contributions to mathematics. While also writing Oriental tales, Humberto de Campos (1886–1934) juxtaposed the notion of Oriental wisdom with undesirable Arab immigrants. In his two short story collections, Pombos de Mahomet (1925, Muhammad’s Pigeons) and À sombra das tamareiras: Contos orientais (1934, In the Shade of the Date Palms: Oriental Tales), Campos draws on nineteenth-century French Orientalist and Islamophobic texts, thus revealing an undercurrent of intolerance that would continue to haunt the discourse of mixture a century later.

Abstract Birds save kings from the Manchu dynasty of China to King Arthur and the Tower of London. In the Hindu Ramayana, a vulture saves Queen Sita. Geese saved the Roman republic from Gauls. Sparrows throwing stones saved Mecca from war elephants in the year when Prophet Muhammad was born. Seagulls saved Mormons in Utah by eating insects that devoured their first crop. In World War I, a pigeon saved an American battalion trapped behind German lines. In the Israeli Six-Day War of 1967, a dove guided and saved a soldier and became a hero to fundamentalist Jews and Christians. Fictional bird interventions drive the plots of Aristophanes in The Birds, of Siegfried in Norse mythology, of Swan Lake, and of Angels in America.
