Abstract:
Film, photography, fact and fiction in the Pollino Mountains (Southern Italy)The film “Il Buco” (The Hole, 2022) by Michelangelo Frammartino is about a speleological expedition in the Pollino mountains (northern Calabria, Italy) in 1961. It won the Special Jury Award at the 2022 Venice Film Festival and received excellent reviews in the Dutch press (Volkskrant, Trouw, NRC, VPRO Cinema). In the film, an old shepherd at the end of his life observes a group of speleologists exploring an exceptionally deep cave. The shepherd dies just as the speleologists discover the end of the cave. To situate the death scene, Frammartino reconstructed a typical shepherd’s dwelling used in the days when the transhumance summer camps in the Pollino mountains were still used as shepherds’ summer dwellings. Frammartino based the reconstruction on black-and-white pictures from the archive of Giuseppe De Matteis, a speleologist from Turin, who took part in the expedition. De Matteis took several photographs of such shepherd´s dwellings during the period of the cave exploration, especially at the site of Mandra Vecchia, which is now part of the field study area of the Pollino Archaeological Landscape Project (PALP), led by the authors since 2020. These shepherds’ huts were made of wooden poles and planks and reinforced at ground level with limestone blocks. Other pastoral facilities, such as animal pens and sheds for cheesemaking, were located nearby. Archaeological research on the remains of these summer camps, combined with interviews, is beginning to reveal everyday life in Pollino summer camps. In this paper we bring together fact and fiction based on Frammartino’s documentary from 2021, Giuseppe De Matteis´ photo archive from the 1960s and our own fieldwork in the area.

Abstract:
When the industrial revolution and progressive tendencies in the nineteenth century influenced every sphere of life, literature could also not escape such trends. At that time, fiction (short story) was introduced as a new genre in literary world and soon it managed to generate a distinction. Like the other languages ​​of the world, fiction writers of Brahui literature also effectively adopted this genre. Among the pioneer Brahui fiction writers, the name of Gul Bangulzai is also well known who initiated the fiction writing. The effects of the progressive literary movement can be seen in his fiction writings. Gul Bangulzai in his book of fiction, Darhd ata Guachi, centralized the topic on the problems of ordinary individuals and lower class of the region. The book was first published in 1984, thus, standing the second book in Brahui literature after Dr. Taj Raisani's book, Anjeer na Phul. In, Darhd ata Guachi, Gul Bangulzai mainly reflected the problems of village life in a unique manner. Gul Bangulzai skillfully identified the problems of farmers, laborers, women, shepherds, and gypsies. Additionally, the themes also include poverty, starvation, the hardships of weather, cruelties of higher class, the culture and traditions of people of Baluchistan, and their mentality. The fiction also depicted the stunning natural landscapes of this region. In the fictions of Gul Bangulzai frustration, deprivation, helplessness, cruelties, and poverty are observable. However, ultimately, the message it conveys that after the dark night there is a dawn of new morning and hope which is another distinguished beauty of the fictions of Gul Bangulzai, bestows him a unique status in Brahui literature wherein most fictions revolves around the complications of village life.

Abstract:
The subject of this paper is the relationship between the Demotic Egyptian Inaros-Petubastis Cycle and the Greek novel. I will not argue that the Greek novel as a whole arose from Egyptian literature; that theory has been rightly laid to rest by scholars working in the area, most recently by Susan Stephens and the late Jack Winkler in their edition of the fragments of the novel. What I want to do, rather, is to draw attention to a single motif that might have made its way from Egyptian narrative fiction to the Greek novel; to explore the background of this motif in Egyptian literature; and to discuss the mode through which this motif was appropriated by the Greek novelists. This motif concerns the boukoloi, outlaw shepherds who inhabit the Egyptian Delta and oppose central Egyptian authority.

Abstract:
There are two main objectives of this paper. The first one, more general and partly liter- ary-theoretical, is to show, within the author’s wider study of narrative empathy and using Andrić’s short story “Aska and the Wolf ” as an example, that what is important for this concept is not whether it deals with documentary or fictional stories, but whether the author has and by which means convinced us of the life truthfulness they convey, that is, whether the aesthetic form and the represented experience of his characters have and to what extent activated neuro- logical regions of the readers responsible for empathy. A methodological approach to “the text as world” is equally applicable to both fictional and documentary narration since the worlds are essentially imaginary in both cases. Reality represents a framework for understanding textual universes; likewise the world of fiction can be a telescope for understanding reality. The second objective of this paper is linked to this: to finally ask the question why the shepherds, i.e. why Andrić had to kill the wolf. The destiny of the wolf – not only in this sto- ry-parable where narrative empathy is an excuse for the cruel hand of justice – becomes para- digmatic for one view of the world in which there is no forgiveness and redemption for a mur- derer. If the writer had allowed art to win over the evil in the wolf, if he had left the wolf alive, the short story would have definitely become multilayered, but it would have betrayed that view of the world and the empathic-altruistic expectations of the victim. But would it betray a “naive reader”, who it is meant for? Our answer is that it would not since it turned out that that youngest reader is not as naive as it might seem at first sight and that narrative empathy represents above all and before all a reader’s response to the cry for humanity.

Abstract:
In a tradition of nature and mountain writing in which the solitary male intellectual has long dominated, Kathleen Jamie and Nan Shepherd stood out as offering a new way of writing about the natural world. Inherent in their writing is a repositioning of humanity that neither separates the human from the living world, nor determines anything that is perceived there. Instead, both Jamie and Shepherd focus on their sensed experience of the world, on their bodily perception, as a means by which to interpret that world and to express their part of it. I will draw primarily on the non-fiction prose of both writers to establish this privileging of the senses of the body, and to consider then the relationship that language has with the body and the role that it can play in what Shepherd calls the ‘interpenetration’ of place and mind. 1 I will then consider how Jamie's and Shepherd's perspective shapes the writing of their texts, the journey from sensed experience of the living landscape, through its transformation into language, to the text formed by the writer, and the subsequent implications for the way in which nature writing connects with the living world from which it came.

Abstract:
Premchand's novels Godan and Rangbhoomi related to farmers and laborers are such works, which if called the epic story of laborers, farmers and Dalit victims and women victims, then it will not be an exaggeration because India being an agricultural country, farmers and laborers are the foundation of Indian culture. The stories of Premchand's Poos Ki Raat, Sava Seer Wheat, Muktimarg, Algyozha, Demolition etc. are mainly focused on the life of the farmer. The full depiction of rural life that we get in Premchand's literature is rare elsewhere, in his fiction, in spite of the predominance of the mainstream farmers of the society at that time, the Dalits, farm-labourers, Bhabbuje, living in the margins of rural life, Poor-farmers, shepherds, kanjars, tailors, etc. all came under his gaze with their heat and sorrow. Such marginalized characters are seen in their stories.

Abstract:
In the article, we attempt to provide a systematic description of the animal names in the novel by Longus, the ancient Greek writer of the end of the 2nd century A.D. “Daphnis and Chloe” and identify their role in the writer’s lexical idiosystem. By combining the functional-semantic approach to the analysis of the writer’s lexical idiosystem with the cognitive, the conceptual concepts that are verbalized by lexical dominants and are directly related to the subject matter of the work, were united into the conceptual-thematic group “Animals”. The names of domestic animals, wild animals, insects, animals living in the water and birds were delimited within the conceptual-thematic group “Animals”. The subgroup “Names of Domestic Animals” was found the most abundant (29 names) and the most frequent (397 fixations) in the studied text. It showed the highest number of dominants in comparison with the other groups (ἡ αἴξ, ἡ, ὁ βοῦς, ὁ τράγον, ὁ τράγον, ὁ τράγον, ὁ, ἡ κύων). Domestic animals play very important role in the life of shepherds. Goats and sheep raised Daphnis and Chloe when they were little, brought them closer in their youth, were grieving when the lovers were not together, were rejoicing with them and even attended the main characters’ wedding. Here we come across anthropomorphization of animals in Longus novel. It was revealed that the lexemes denoting animal world are involved in the process of creation of numerous tropes (comparisons, metaphors, epithets, etc.), which is due to the peculiarity of the genre of this work and writer’s idiostyle. The writer’s idiolect is closely connected to the conceptual structure of the fiction text, as it is evidenced by the analysis of the CTG “Animals”. The micro-concepts which we include to this group appear to be the relevant elements of the writer’s conceptual model of the world. The names of micro-concepts actualize their semantics in micro-contexts through semantic connectivity with the other words, revealing their direct and indirect (figurative) meaning, alongside with the aesthetic-philosophical potential of the writer’s outlook in general.

Abstract:
In the light of the new readings that Nan Shepherd’s texts are being subjected to as part of her academic and popular revival, I offer an analysis of her non-fictional volume The Living Mountain (1977) from an ecofeminist standpoint. Given the situation where, until now, the Scottish writer’s masterpiece has been almost exclusively linked to travel literature, construction of regional identity and environmental issues, the conjunction of ecology and gender that my research proposes creates an opening for the less explored world of female physical sensation and pleasure. The aim of this article is to upset the exclusive Nature/Woman connection as opposed to Man/Reason, because, as I will show, it proves to be restrictive, arbitrary and unfair. To this end, I will respond to some of the issues Eva Antón raises in her article “Claves ecofeministas para el análisis literario” (2017), where it is suggested that all literary texts should declare their ethical stance with respect to ecology and gender. All the above suggests that, contrary to the classical attitude of possession and conquest of the land, love combined with pleasure is the recipe Shepherd recommends for successfully accomplishing her archetypical journey across the Cairngorms.

Abstract:
Brotherhood: A Novel – Doug and Jerry are fraternal twins, orphaned as infants and raised by their grandparents. Dying of cancer, Jerry moves back home to live with Doug after a nearly fifteen year estrangement. Set against the backdrop of the 2001 NHL playoffs, Jerry searches through his memories in the hope of understanding the complex relationship he has with his brother, and to figure out the roles they are meant to play in each other's lives. Shepherds on Skates: Canadian Hockey Fiction as a Version of Pastoral – the last quarter century in Canadian fiction has seen an increasing number of ‘hockey novels' – serious literary works in which hockey plays a significant thematic or dramatic role. This portion of the thesis examines these narratives in order to ground them in the tradition of pastoral poetry. Using as context the pastoral journey of retreat and return, as well as the pastoral elegy, Canadian hockey fiction is seen to function in similar ways to traditional pastoralists, and, more importantly, for similar reasons.

Abstract:
This thesis, Animating the archive though creative non-fiction: locating and reimagining the lives of nineteenth-century rural working-class people in colonial documents, is comprised of the creative work The stone cairn: a tale of nineteenth-century rural crime and punishment, and an exegesis. In the creative work, imaginative reconstructions inform historical facts to piece together a story involving events connected to the 1854 murder of shepherd Thomas Brookhouse by another shepherd, Patrick Geary in western Victoria. Recreating the narrative communicates the experience of Brookhouse and Geary, as well as other rural working-class people of the time, highlighting stories that defy common tropes and themes in Australian literature about this group of people who left few documentary traces of their lives. In the exegesis I examine two interconnected theoretical modes on which creative non-fiction writing is used: research-led practice and practice-led research. I discuss my own intellectual journey as one formed within a research-led practice approach. My discovery of practice-led research as a method of sparking imagination and enhancing creativity is explored. The creation of new knowledge and the value of this new approach for its communication to a broad audience that emerges from this thesis are also discussed.

Abstract:
The work of 20th century Scottish author Nan Shepherd explores the relationships between nature, culture, landscape and the body. Widely regarded as an important figure in early 20th-century Scottish literature for her evocative poetry and fiction, Shepherd’s work has gained renewed attention following the re-publication and subsequent celebration of her nonfiction treatise The Living Mountain in 2009, by contemporary new nature writers such as Robert MacFarlane (2007; 2015). In this phenomenological meditation on walking in the Cairngorms of Scotland, Shepherd works through the sensory apparatus of her own body to consider the multiple ‘ways in’ to the mountainous plateau it affords. This chapter develops the notion of ‘the total mountain’ introduced within The Living Mountain, in concert with the lyrical evocations of landscape found throughout Shepherd’s prose and poetry, rooted in her own experiences of northeast Scotland’s environment. It figures her writing as offering, after Brian Massumi (2002), a series of ‘exemplars’, or ‘parables’, that both articulate and sensitise us to the affective qualities of space. The chapter presents Shepherd’s concept of ‘the total mountain’ as framing an alternative ontology of the mountainous as situated, excessive and alive with potential.

Full text
Abstract:
The second chapter of Appalachian Pastoral argues that multiple travel narratives from the mid-19th-century frame the author’s experience with the natural environment through the familiar discourse of literary pastoralism, that is, a portrayal of the landscape that is semi-domesticated, often with a shepherd tending his flock; idyllic in portrayal; and laden with Greek and Roman demi-gods and goddesses. Pastoralism as a framing device became a sort of willful fiction for writers such as Philip Pendleton Kennedy and William Gilmore Simms (Southward Ho! 1854), as such a device became a way of confronting an unknown landscape through a familiarizing literary trope for Northern readers. For example, Kennedy didn’t see water nymphs at (then) Virginia’s Blackwater Falls, nor were “Pan and Faunus” (157) actually there; but he instead willfully created a fictional version of the pastoral to familiarize a wild landscape for his potential audience.

Abstract:
Like many healthcare providers, Shepherd's Grace Hospital struggles to appropriately staff their Emergency Room. Electing to follow employment trends, the hospital has engaged with a staffing agency for four traveling nurses. The purpose of this case is to explore the challenges of bringing contingent workers into an organization and how these short-term employees are viewed by the others more permanently embedded in the organization and the community. Also of importance is how social and psychological capital develop within an organization and how these roles can conflict when translated into a leadership role. This case follows four days of events for a traveling nurse, a traditional nurse, the Director of Nursing Services, the Director of Human Resources at the fictional Shepherd's Grace Hospital in the real city of Little Rock, AR. Upon conclusion, readers are asked to analyze the actions of these four characters along with the interactions of their circumstances (personal, professional, and geographic) to make decisions for how the hospital should move forward.

Abstract:
David Mitchell’s fiction provides an opportunity to reconsider the claims of modesty in the context of globalization. This chapter draws upon the arguments of the previous ones to put critical modesty to its most difficult test. Are minor achievements enough given the massive scale of planetary life and of urgent global problems facing humanity, not the least of which is environmental ruin? I argue that Mitchell’s novels directly face the problems of scaling that cast into doubt the place and function of the novel as a relevant cultural force in the twenty-first century and beyond. Mitchell’s work helps us to reconcile realism as a kind of modest speculation. Where the novel has long been understood as a form that easily scales from the local to the global, Mitchell emphasizes the discontinuity afforded by novelistic thinking. The efficient causality that has subtended literary realism aims to retroactively recreate the events that lead inevitably from the past to the future. Mitchell’s formal investment in discontinuity resists the tyranny of the inevitable by narrating moments of bifurcation in which a new possibility for action suddenly and unexpectedly emerges. Thus, his novels adopt an inefficient causality that give expression to the feeling that things might be different than they are, that inevitability (optimistic or pessimistic) is a dangerous trap. The challenge that Mitchell poses for himself and other novelists is to imagine a disposition modest enough to nurture and shepherd into being these moments of bifurcation when, by definition, there is nothing in the prior state that predicts them.

Abstract:
Perhaps more than any other Romantic periodical, Blackwood’s is known for its use of personae, specifically fictional characters masquerading as actual contributors to the magazine. Especially in the ‘Noctes Ambrosianae,’ its personae dramatize the process of creating the magazine, parading their high-minded debates, habitual procrastination, and personal foibles before the public. This essay reframes our understanding of personae in Blackwood’s and other Romantic-era periodicals by applying J.L. Austin’s speech-act concept of ‘felicity’ to representations of James Hogg’s ‘Ettrick Shepherd’ and Thomas De Quincey’s ‘English Opium-Eater’.
