Full textAbstract:
Understanding the structure of a short story composition is very important for elementary school students. Through this structure, it will greatly help students in the future in world education because the structure of an essay will bring students to understanding written work. So far, students in making short story essays have ignored the intrinsic elements, it is very unfortunate if there are ideas to make essays but they are not arranged systematically. Through the learning material to make short stories, it is hoped that students can always pour their thoughts into a written work, but in fact, students can understand the material that is currently obtained because of the current learning system through long distances. This research is here to analyze the short story essays of the fourth-grade students of SDN Cilincing 05, North Jakarta City. This research will focus on the intrinsic elements contained in students' short story essays, including the theme, the plot of the place, the timeline, and the mandate contained in the short story essay written by students. Then the data goes through the data reduction process, traffic is in the form of tables in order to make it easier for understanding in understanding the content of the research. The data that has been obtained is then analyzed by researchers using content analysis research methods. Content analysis is certainly the right method for this research because content analysis reveals the meaning of a text. From the research that has been done, teaching materials are obtained to write short stories by paying attention to the intrinsic elements to make it easier for students to make essays

Full textAbstract:
Aldous Huxley wrote about education all his life. Most of his books of non-fiction contain essays that scrutinize problems in education and propose solutions, while his novels and short stories are full of characters that embody the peculiarities of various educational systems. This article will show that the majority of educational flaws that Huxley highlighted in his essays were first depicted in his short fiction, especially his criticism of conservative teaching methods, self-education and spiritual homeschooling, and so-called intellectual education that lacks a practical dimension and draws a sharp distinction between emotions and rationality. This analysis will also prove that some characters in Huxley’s short stories embody progressive teaching styles that were promoted at the time by Maria Montessori and John Dewey, educators Huxley praised in his essays on education, although he had reservations about their followers.

Full textAbstract:
In teaching Southeast Asian literature in English in Thailand, a lecturer presented a brief historical background of each country. After lecturing on each country’s literature background, the students were assigned to write the reflection essays on short stories studied in class. Then, a lecturer summarized the issues discussed in class and from students’ reflection essays. This article is resulted from the case study of teaching modern Southeast Asian Literary Works in English at IAC international studies ASEAN-CHINA program, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat university, Thailand. A lecturer and students discovered gender and political issues in Laotian, Burmese and Vietnamese short stories. Laotian and Vietnamese short stories A Bar at the Edge of Cemetery and The Khaki Coat represent writers’ attitudes towards their communist/socialist government. Laos and Vietnam share social problems such as poverty-famine, economic inequality and class struggle. Additionally, Laotian, Burmese and Vietnamese short stories also portray gender issues such as gender inequality, women’s liberation movements, and the effects of war on women.

Full textAbstract:
Kieślowski scholar Joseph G. Kickasola documents his efforts to find and explore the Warsaw apartment complex where Krzysztof Kieślowski filmed his Decalogue series. His startling, unexpectedly emotional experience at such an ordinary place becomes an opportunity to reflect on the films, theorize on the function of place in them, and consider the way that human life and cinema feed into each other. Fictional stories and their cinematic constructions can deepen our experience, and make the world feel more lived in, more true. Nothing magical happened, but everything ordinary happened in all its fullness, like a kind of prophecy, fulfilled.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Much has been written on Zelda Fitzgerald as F. Scott Fitzgerald's muse and as a victim of mental illness. Her novel, Save Me the Waltz, and even her artwork have received critical attention, but little scholarship has focused on her short stories. In this essay, I reengage one of the few but first essays on her stories—W. R. Anderson's “Rivalry and Partnership: The Short Fiction of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald” (1977)—and argue that we can trace her growth as a serious writer most apparently when juxtaposing “A Millionaire's Girl” with “Miss Ella.” This essay provides a bio-critical reading to suggest that in the short, yet difficult, months between the publication of “A Millionaire's Girl” and “Miss Ella,” she started to gain a voice of her own.

Patil, Kavita. "Destitutionalised Reading of Gender and Caste in Baburao Bagul’s Short Stories." New Literaria 04, no. 01 (2023): 01–08. http://dx.doi.org/10.48189/nl.2023.v04i1.001.
Full textAbstract:
In this research paper, I analyze the effects of institutionalised ways of reading ‘gender’ and ‘caste’ in Marathi literature with reference to Baburao Bagul, one of the important Dalit writers, short stories with the help of some notions and arguments from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks, Jacques Derrida’s essay “Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of Human Sciences”, Aniket Jaaware’s essay “Destitute Literature” and the book Practicing Caste: On Touching and Not Touching. Baburao Bagul’s short stories re-valuated the established institutionalized reading practices of gender and caste in literature set by the Marathi writers and critics, mostly upper-caste, before the 1960s. However, other Dalit writers did not venture to re-valuate the representation of gender and caste in literature. Before the concept of ‘Destitute Literature’ was propounded by Aniket Jaaware, most of the reading/analysis of Marathi Dalit literature followed institutionalized ways of consumption of literature. The dominant practices of reading literature in academia as well as out of it did not spare even the scholars who claimed to be different from the hegemony. The descriptions and analysis of gender and caste were mostly on the grounds of identity politics. For example, all the essays in the Marathi book Samagra Lekhak: Baburao Bagul (Complete Writer: Baburao Bagul) edited by Dr. Krushna Kirwale offer the institutionalized readings of Bagul’s stories, their form, content, and the characters. I attempt to critique such earlier writings and criticism written on Baburao Bagul’s stories and re-read the stories in destitutionalised way.

D'hoker, Elke. "Bowen, The Bell, and the Late-Modernist Short Story." Irish University Review 51, no. 1 (May 2021): 72–84. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/iur.2021.0496.
Full textAbstract:
This essay looks at Elizabeth Bowen's presence in The Bell during the war years. She contributed an essay, a short story, two pieces of memoir, two obituaries, and a few other, smaller pieces to the magazine, but also featured in an interview, several reviews, and O'Faoláin's editorials and critical essays. Yet, as a Protestant, Anglo-Irish woman writer living in England, Bowen was in many ways an odd presence in The Bell, which squarely focused on Irish life and Irish writing. While O'Faoláin's mission to present an inclusive view of Ireland may explain his publication of Bowen's autobiographical essays, her prominence as a fiction writer can better be accounted for through her achievements in the modern short story, the genre O'Faoláin sought to promote as a central Irish literary form in The Bell. Indeed, although Bowen's short stories have been classified as ‘modernist’ and O'Faoláin's as ‘realist’, their aesthetics of the short story are remarkably similar. Still, The Bell’s championing of Bowen's short fiction as a model to follow was undermined by its framing of Bowen as an ‘aristocratic’ writer whose literary snapshots of Irish life had a peculiarly dated and blinkered quality.

Full textAbstract:
Culture is the one that interacts with the lives of living people from ancient times to the present day and from time to time. S.R.G. Sundaram, who is awarded with ‘Bharathi Paniselvar’, is a multifaceted literary creator. Our Tamil world is well aware of his contribution to the development of Tamil. Like Valliyappa, he is also a prolific writer, who has made significant contributions in the form of short stories, plays, novels, songs, essays, and short stories for children. S.R.G. Sundaram has been doing his work since the age of seventeen (since 1957) and still does it today with deep knowledge and creative thinking. In his short stories, many cultural elements are found, such as love, rationality, hospitality, friendship, loneliness, love for life, diligence, punctuality, and patriotism. The purpose of this study is to explore and sort them out.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates Primo Levi’s representations of the origin of life, particularly considering his essays and science-fiction short stories. After introducing the two main sources of inspiration that Levi refers to when writing narratives on this subject, classical and biblical mythologies and Darwinian evolutionary theory, the article offers a close reading of two short stories, “I sintetici” and “Disfilassi”, that depict a moment of ‘second genesis’ set in the near future. This process is seen by Levi from an ecological perspective in relation to the environmental risks that human technology and overpopulation pose to our planet. Following the analysis of the writer’s essays about recent chemical and biological theories on how life originated on Earth, the last paragraph focuses on the tangencies between Levi’s investigation of the origin of life and his reflections on the source of literary creativity, summed up by the short story “Carbonio”.

She became very serious on the issues related to women. Gallant depicted the plight of women in the form of a story. Her many stories seem to be semi autobiographical but she denies completely. This paper is an attempt to bring forth few prevalent problems stated in the short stories of Canadian women.

Full textAbstract:
Ferit Edgu is one of the best writers of not only Turkish literature but also World literature. He has written his works in different genres such as novels, short stories, memoirs, poems and essays. The author who revealed his stories with an extraordinary structure, has become the representative of his generation. Using language, creating stories with few words is an important element in the writer's storytelling. Since the common denominator of psychology and literature is human and human behavior. It is inevitable that these two disciplines feed one another and form a resource for each other. While depicting life in his stories, he was able to reach meaning integrity by making use of very few words. In this way, he succeeded in attracting and impressing the reader with brief narratives. Existentialism, like Kafka, was evident in his stories. In this article, we tried to analyze Ferit Edgu's stories based on his language, technical elements, richness of expression and beauty concerns.

Aju Mukhopadhyay is one of the brightest stars in the firmament of contemporary Indian English Literature. He is a magnificent literary artist, in fact a versatile genius. As a visionary poet he has enraptured the hearts and minds of millions of poetry lovers, both in India and abroad. He is a profound critic, and his insightful critical studies are highly valued in the literary world. His essays on various subjects have made a mark in every field. He is a great storyteller too, both in English and Bangla, and the range of his short stories has baffled the fiction lovers. Like his previous volumes of short stories, the present collection too offers a large variety of subjects and feeds the craving of every set of readers. Aju’s world is so vast that you cross the national boundaries many times to peep into a new world. You open the window to a new story and step into a different world altogether. “In the Company of William, Samuel and Dorothy”, Aju takes us to the Lake District of England to enjoy the company of the great Romantic poets, William Wordsworth, S. T. Coleridge and Dorothy Wordsworth. His description is so vivid that you really feel you are watching everything happening before your ‘fleshy eyes’. In the next story “They Came Down from the Roof of the World”, the writer takes you indeed to the roof of the world, Tibet and the Tibetan Cause. Tibet and New York come alive before you and you partake in the stormy scenes, the rebellion, the persecution, the great Dalai Lama escape and the aftermath.

Full textAbstract:
We tested whether the genre of a literary text (essay as compared with short story) or its artistic merit would be primarily responsible for the variability in the self-perceived personality traits that individuals experience when they read. One hundred participants were randomly assigned to read either one of eight essays or one of eight short stories, matched for length, reading difficulty, and interest. The Big-Five personality traits were measured before and after reading. Genre did not affect variability in personality. Rather, participants who judged the text they read to be more artistic reported a greater variability in their personality trait profile after reading, independently of whether the text was an essay or a short story. Artistic merit appears to be associated with literature’s transformative effects through the instability in the self-perceived experience of the reader’s personality.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Emotions are essential in D. H. Lawrence’s literary texts. He lived inthe period of industrialization and materialism, when emotions were in the state of stagnation.That is why his short stories make the readers feel real emotions and be the part of narrated events.Lawrence’s short stories are full of expressive means which evoke certain feelings in readers’minds and serve a very productive field for the investigations aimed at analyzing emotive spaceof textual world. Lawrence’s works such as novels, poetry, essays are always in the focus ofstudying in different facets: linguostylistic, phonological, pragmatic, semantic. As for the givenpaper it studies Lawrence’s short stories which haven’t been the subject of linguistic andphonological analysis yet. Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the graphicrealization of the phonetic means of expressing emotions in D. H. Lawrence's short stories.Methods. The descriptive analysis of the graphic means which form the emotiveness in selectedsamplesfrom Lawrence’s short stories was applied. Results. Close investigation of graphic meansof expressing emotions in Lawrence’s short stories showed that for expressing different emotionsand feelings of the characters Lawrence often uses such graphic devices as exclamation mark,dash and full stop and italics, which in literary texts usually create an additional emotional levelof utterance. The paper also demonstrates how different graphic devices can affect the emotivemeaning of the utterance. Conclusion. Having examined the graphic means of expressing emotionsin Lawrence’s short stories, we can classify the author’s literary style as hyper-emotional one,as it is distinguished with different language means of expressing emotions in analyzed texts.

Abstract This critical essay examines the literary and linguistic features of two short stories by Mercé Rodoreda, the best-known Catalan woman writer of the twentieth century. Chosen from among others published together under the general title of La meva Cristina i altres contes (My Christina and other stories), these are thought to be fairly representative of the style and content of the collection as a whole. Written under the infl uence of Ovid, Joyce, Kafk a, Sartre and the Symbolists, the author mingles direct and indirect styles and uses ‘monologue’ as an alternative to narration in the third person to delineate the character of their protagonists through the medium of speech with another person who cannot (as in La Mainadera) and probably does not (in Amor) respond. The result is an evocative, lyrical prose as important for what it says as for how it says it. Ingenuity of expression and interpretation, malice in the choice of its elements, insinuation and irony are its chief characteristics. Résumé Cet essai critique étudie les caractéristiques littéraires et linguistiques de deux nouvelles de Mercé Rodoreda, la femme écrivain catalane la plus célèbre du vingtième siècle. Ces nouvelles, choisies parmi celles publiées sous le titre général La meva Chritina i altres contes (Ma Christina et autres récits), sont considérées comme assez représentatives du style et du contenu de l’ensemble de la collection. Influencée par Ovide, Joyce, Kafk a, Sartre et les Symbolistes, Mercé Rodoreda combine les styles direct et indirect et utilise le « monologue » comme alternative à la narration à la troisième personne, afin de dépeindre le caractère de ses protagonistes par le biais d’une conversation avec un interlocuteur qui ne peut pas répondre (comme dans La Mainadera) et qui ne répond probablement pas (dans Amor). Le résultat est une prose évocatrice et lyrique, aussi importante dans ce qu’elle dit que dans sa manière de l’exprimer. L’ingénuité de l’expression et de l’interprétation, la malveillance dans le choix de ses éléments, l’insinuation et l’ironie en sont les principales caractéristiques.

Alice Walker was an American writer whose novels, short stories, and poems are noted for their insightful treatment of African American culture. Her novels, most notably The Color Purple (1982), are focused on the struggles of black people, particularly women, and their lives in a racist, sexist, and violent society. Walker’s Pulitzer prize and American Book award-winning novel, The Color Purple, marks the apex of her career. It gained international prominence, as the writer did herself. Her novels, short stories, poetry and essays are all about a search for truth. The Color Purple is unique in its pre-occupation with spiritual survival and with exploring the oppressions, insanities and triumphs of black women.

Full textAbstract:
Short stories are literary essays embodying intrinsic and extrinsic elements. The short story "Love and Lies" delves into psychological manifestations indicative of mental illness or disorders in female characters. This research employs Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs theory, as it stratifies the psychological life of human beings into hierarchical needs. Utilizing quantitative descriptive methods, researchers examine the short stories of "Love and Lies" by Husnul Khotimah as the primary data source. Analysis involves an intensive exploration of literary works, identifying and correlating data with Maslow's theory. The novel is scrutinized through the lens of Maslow's hierarchy, encompassing physiological, safety, belongingness and love, esteem, and self-actualization needs. The findings affirm that all five levels are met, concluding that characters in "Love and Lies" fulfill the psychological hierarchy proposed by Maslow.

Full textAbstract:
José María Rivas Groot: an Approach to the Pragmatic Dimension of his Short Stories in «Rocinante» and «Día de inocentes». Having a multiform intellect, José María Rivas Groot (Bogotá, 1863-Rome, 1923) stood out as a public figure and a man of letters. Acting director of the National Library, senator, minister of state, plenipotentiary minister of Colombia to the Holy See, journalist, editor and writer, vocation this latter forged in the family bosom and in which his conservative and Christian thought, defender of tradition, is manifested. His intellectual production covers a wide variety of literary genres: poetry, novel, short stories, theater and historical essays, among others. Although his short stories have remained, in a way, on the sidelines of anthologies and studies, it is a faithful testimony of his style and thought, in a time of turmoil, affected by strong social and political transformations, framed by the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. Through two of his short stories classified as unpublished, Rocinante and Día de inocentes, this article offers an approach to his short stories from a pragmatic perspective with the purpose of revealing its meaning and intentional value, in which transtextuality, symbolism and irony are resources to which he turns, as a faithful representative of the lettered city, to express his position in the face of circumstances, behaviors and attitudes typical of his space -time, which remain in force until today.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1884 and 1936, Rudyard Kipling wrote over 300 short stories, most of which were first published in colonial and cosmopolitan periodicals before being reissued in short-story collections. This corpus contains a number of critically neglected Gothic stories that fall into four groups: stories that belong to the ghost-story tradition; stories that represent the colonial encounter through gothic tropes of horror and the uncanny but do not necessarily include any supernatural elements; stories that develop an elegiac and elliptical Gothic Modernism; and stories that make use of the First World War and its aftermath as a gothic environment. This essay evaluates Kipling's contribution to the critically neglected genre of the Gothic short story, with a focus on the stories' persistent preoccupation with spatial tropes of travel, disorientation and displacement.

Full textAbstract:
His criticism and efforts to overcome the negative consequences of postmodern irony – mostly as a worldview that has had a profound impact on contemporary American society and literature – are central to understanding David Foster Wallace’s literary work. Unlike his highly influential fiction (novels and short stories), his nonfiction (essays and articles) still remains understudied, in spite of the volume and importance of his essays in the Ameri- can culture and beyond. The paper analyses Wallace’s criticism of postmodern irony in his nonfiction by considering three selected essays, with the aim of examining the possibility that Wallace’s nonfiction succeeds in even further articulating his artistic intentions, which have in recent analyses been qualified as post-ironic.

Full textAbstract:
Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) was the first non-European poet and lyricist who received the most coveted of international awards, the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, “because of his profound sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West.” (www.nobelprize.org ) His most notable work highly praised and duly appreciated by The Swedish Academy was Gitanjali: Song Offerings (1912), a collection of poetry, but Tagore is also famous for having written a variety of genres, including drama, essay, novel, novella, short-story, dance-drama, and song.
While Tagore is recognized today mostly for his poetry, his short stories also proved to be extremely popular in what is called the Bengali-language version of the genre, and his essays reveal another facet of his personality, and that is his philosophical thought in which he distinguished himself as a language innovator. Rabindranath Tagore’s Śāntiniketan Essays were translated and published by Medha Bhattacharyya in 2020 in a book celebrating Tagore’s “fundamental meditations on life, nature, religion, philosophy, and the world at large.” (Flyer, Bhattacharyya, 2020)

Full textAbstract:
The region of the Mediterranean and its cultures are central themes in the writings of Marie Luise Kaschnitz, and from the mid-1920 they shaped her poetry as well as her novels ‘Liebe beginnt’ (1933) and ‘Elissa’ (1937). In her post-war texts – short stories, radio plays, essays, notes, and poems – the Mediterranean world became crucially important; this reflected her husband’s historical-cultural work and led the couple to undertake several long journeys to Italy, (former) Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, and North Africa. Among the landscapes that stimulated Marie Luise Kaschnitz’s creative work, the legendary Monte Circeo on the Tyrrhenian coast repeatedly emerged as a prominent element. The article intends to show what this place meant for the author’s private life, also focusing on how she depicted it in three short stories written in 1960: ‘Lange Schatten’, ‘Am Circeo’, and ‘Eines Mittags, Mitte Juni’.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper aims at exploration of Shauna Singh Baldwin’s specific technique implemented to present women predicament in selected stories from feministic point of view. The feministic point of view has developed out of a movement for equal rights and chances for women society. The present search is based on analytical and interpretative methods. Shauna Singh Baldwin is a writer of short fiction, poetry, novels and essays. Her ‘English Lessons and Other Stories’ explores the predicament of earlier neglected women of Sikh community by putting them in the context of globalization, immigration to West and consumerism at Indian modern society. “Montreal 1962” presents a Sikh wife’s attachment, love, determination, struggles and readiness to do anything for survival in Canada where her husband is threatened to remove his turban and cut his hair short to get the job. “Simran” presents the story of sacrifice of individual desire by a young Sikh girl because of her mother’s fundamentalist attitude. The title of story “English Lessons” presents injustice to an Indian woman who has married to an American, who compels her to become a prostitute and a source of his earnings in the States. The fourth selected story “Jassie” tells us about the timely need of religious tolerance in the file of an Indian immigrant old woman. Being a feminist writer, though Baldwin has never claimed directly to be, she has very skillfully presented the issues of feminism through her own technique of presentation. She has used technique of presenting absence or opposite to highlight it indirectly. Thus, true to her technique, though not explicitly declared, Baldwin is one of the feminist writers who skillfully deals with feminine concerns.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to analyze the reception of the first collection of stories and short stories by A.P. Chekhov, translated into Croatian and published in 1905. The preface of this edition, written by journalist and translator Martin Lovrenčević, holds particular importance. In his endeavor to provide a more detailed biography of the Russian writer, Lovrenčević compiles scattered information that had been regularly published in essays and articles by well-known and anonymous critics in Russian and Croatian periodicals between 1886 and 1904. Lovrenčević also relies on data published in the Russian press in 1904-1905, recollections of Chekhov's friends and relatives, and introduces Croatian readers to previously unknown facts of his personal life. The analysis showed that the biography compiled by Lovrenčević, along with his translations of novellas and stories featured in the collection, as well as his consideration of Anton Chekhov's prose and drama, represents a continuation of the efforts made by the first creative intermediaries, who since the mid-1880s introduced Croatian readers to the Russian writer and his works.

Full textAbstract:
This study proposes the silence that defined Junot Díaz, as revealed in his New Yorker (2018) essay “The Silence,” also permeates his fiction. I explore how the artistic and ideopolitical function of silence in Drown (1996) informs violence and masculinity. The representations of sound and its absence, though seemingly innocuous, articulate hierarchies that reinforce and contest masculine codes, while gestures transform them. Drown’s stories are “moment of truth” narratives predicated on the rupture of silence and subsequent protagonist development. This essay elucidates Yunior’s complex relation to silence and his evolution from vocal boy to reticent adolescent and, eventually, to the author-narrator of the collection’s stories.

Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with the intertextuality in the works of Jorge Luís Borges, who is well known as a great experimentalist in the field of literature and as a “blind librarian” devoted to books. His “literary exercises”, as he called them, are woven of quotations of other texts and it’s often difficult to distinguish between his fiction-stories and critical essays. Borges’ concept of literature is based on continuity, where the problem of authorship hardly exists. A brief analysis of some of his short stories shows the way he understands the mechanism of quotation and it’s relation to other kinds of distortion and multiplication of reality, expressed through the images of the “mirror” and the “double”.

Full textAbstract:
In 1993 Clare Boylan edited a collection of essays by diverse writers on the act of writing entitled The Agony and the Ego. The Art and Strategy of Fiction Writing Explored. Here, Boylan takes the double stance of an outsider, as a critic, and of an insider, as a writer, and her concern with other writers’ work highlights her own preoccupation with writing and creativity, thus providing an interesting insight into her own fiction too. Besides writing seven novels and three collections of short stories, Clare Boylan also produced personal, autobiographical and critical pieces in a variety of essays and newspaper articles. She also showed a rigorous stance as editor in the thorough and engaging Literary Companion to Cats (1994). In particular, Boylan’s non-fiction work includes essays on Kate O’Brien and Molly Keane, as well as an introduction to Maeve Brennan’s posthumous novella The Visitor. Her critical work shows rigorous attention to texts and imagery, but also patterns of affinities with the writers she takes into account. The purpose of this essay is to analyse samples of Clare Boylan’s critical work vis-à-vis her own fiction. Significant cross-references can be identified which cast new perspectives on her literary work.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The German periodical Magazin zur Erfalnungsseelenkunde (1783-93) presents ten volumes of short essays submitted by educated lay people describing aspects of the mind from an Enlightenment perspective, with a strong focus on aberrant psychology. The contributions are interpreted as a hybrid form of psychological case histories and short stories which, in Goethe's contemporary definition, describe "sich ereignete unerhörte Begebenheiten" [extraordinary but true events]. This form lent itself well to debate on the parameters of sanity and madness, in particular, how far madness lay beyond apprehension by the sane and to what extent any boundaries between the two could meaningfully be drawn.

Full textAbstract:
Translation is an essential part of Yves Bonnefoy's work. But his originality in this field lies in the critical studies that have regularly accompanied his translations and in his reflection on the act of translation, developed in various essays and interviews. Departing from his conception of translation as a poetic activity, based on the distinction between the ‘translation of meanings’ and the ‘translation of the essence’, we approach the analysis of two poetic short stories, ‘Première ébauche d’une mise en scène d’Hamlet’, and ‘Hamlet en montagne’ included in L’heure présente (2011), which we approach both as ‘translations in a broad sense’, according to the definition proposed by the poet, as a prolongation and deepening of the understanding of the text through poetic writing, and as allegorical fictions of the process of translation.

Full textAbstract:
The research aims to determine the peculiarities of the notion of cinema at the initial stage of its existence. The essays and short stories by M. Gorky published in the newspapers ‘Nizhegorodskii listok’ and ‘Odesskie novosti’ during the All-Russia Industrial and Art Exhibition 1896 and articles of this period published in the Nizhny Novgorod press served as the research material. Classical and new works on Gorky studies and film studies are involved. The research is novel in that it is the first to address the short story ‘Revenge’ and to restore the journalistic context associated with it. Through a comprehensive analysis of Gorky’s essays on cinema and the short story ‘Revenge’, the mechanism of transformation of journalistic texts into a literary one through the problem-thematic and figurative-motivic complexes is traced. The involvement of a wide range of articles in the synchronous press makes it possible to detect the deep involvement of the writer’s works in the contemporary social and everyday context. As a result of the research, the range of Gorky’s texts related to cinema expands, the social origins of Gorky’s attitude to cinema and his notion of screen art as an illusory ideal world opposed to the harsh reality of life are revealed.

Full textAbstract:
Don Lee reworked his eight magazine stories to varying degrees, arranged the sequence of the stories in a specific order, and published a short-story cycle in 2001. Significantly, the writer changed the ethnic identity of some characters from white American to Asian American. He also added and highlighted Asian American themes and issues. In short, Lee made an “Asian American” short-story cycle par excellence by coloring his stories yellow. This essay examines Lee's rewriting and arrangement of his magazine stories for an Asian American short-story cycle. It first compares the differences between the magazine and cycle versions of the stories. It goes on to examine totalizing devices such as the common setting, recurrent places, connective characters, and unifying themes. Lastly, it elucidates the arrangement of the eight stories and significance of the title story in the cycle. It ultimately argues that Don Lee retrofitted his magazine stories extensively and meticulously for a short-story cycle in order to portray the diverse aspects of post-immigrant Asian America at the turn of the century from his positionality as a third-generation Korean American.

In this article, the work in Latvian literature by Baltic German pastor Konrad Schultz has been explored within the context of the development of Popular Enlightenment ideas during the early 19th century. Schultz belonged to those Latvian-writing authors whose works were characterized by variety of themes and genres: from short stories and poems to essays, popular scientific and practical economic articles. Most of Schultz’s literary works were published in newspapers “Latviešu Avīzes” (Latvian Newspapers) and “Tas Latviešu Ļaužu Draugs” (The Friend of Latvian People). Special attention in the article has been turned towards social themes in Schultz’s works – characterization of Latvians in the essay “Latviešu tauta” (Latvian nation), comments on Germanization and upward social mobility, the celebration of the agricultural work, reflections upon aims and reception of enlightenment. Further, correspondences by Schultz on current events in Linde and Birzgale area as well as cultural, historical and ethnographical sketches about the river Daugava have been explored. The short prose fiction works by Schultz have been analyzed within the context of traditions of enlightenment didactic literature, and their originals in German literature have been traced. In the closing part of the article, Schultz’s “Kurzemes stāstu grāmata” (Book of Courland’s Stories) – the first book on Latvian history in Latvian – has been analyzed by turning attention towards Schultz’s understanding of history as well as aims of popularization of history and interpretation of Christianization and other historical events.

The article outlines the forms and functions of Anna Maria Ortese’s palette in Neapolitan Chronicles. Moving through short stories, essays, and reportages, we can identify topical colors in Ortese’s work: gray, and the achromatic shades black and white. In addition to differentiating the roles of the color series, the article traces Chronicles’ literary genealogies, linking it to Melville and Poe’s works. Far from being a traditional colorist, Ortese gives life to a pictorial writing, which makes of the deformation of reality a key to a more vivid and acute perception of the world.
