Abstract:
The article is devoted to the plot structure of the olonkho “Bie uola Beibeldjin Tulaaiakh” (Orphan Beibeldjin the Mare’s Son) performed by the narrator F. S. Semyonov-Kyrsa. To understand the peculiarities of the poetics of the epic, it is important to consider the characteristic features of plot structure. The plot structure of an olonkho consists of a beginning, a plot, stages of development, a climax, a denouement and a conclusion. Olonkhos about the bogatyr Beibeldjin Tulaaiakh have a peculiar plot, unique to them. The olonkho plot delves into the representation of different worlds: the U

Abstract:
In Mongolian folklore, dreams, which are a reflection of a specific side of the human mind, are depicted in different ways. In this article, we have analyzed the motif of a magical dream and a hero who fills up the missing part of the story in a folktale and an epic, the category of verbal art. From this point of view, the deeds of the White Old Man and Palden Lhamo, who are the characters that lead the events in the dream, are bound to be fulfilled as soon as they wake up.

ABSTRACT This article considers Paradise Lost in relation to ventriloquism—that is, demonic possession as manifested in ventris loqui, “speakers from the belly.” It situates this topic in the literary contexts that Milton inherited and transformed, and then concentrates on three scenes of ventriloquistic possession in the epic: the toad dream in book 4, the demonic possession of the serpent in book 9, and the puppeteering of the fallen angels in book 10. Throughout the epic, Milton reframes belly talk as less about demons sneaking into and speaking out of bellies than about demons urging ratio

Abstract:
The paper addresses the preservation of the epic tradition and the relationship between the plots and “common places” (loci communes) based on heroic epics (üligers) performed by B. Barnakov in 1961-1962 and recorded on a magnetic tape. At that time, Buryat scholars witnessed a decline of the heroic epic genre. However, owing to the storytelling gift and memory of üligershin B. Barnakov, the tales in his performance feature a variety of plots and stability of typical places. The analysis of poetic and stylistic means has shown the narrator’s knowledge of the epic fund of stereotypes and laws o

Abstract:
The idea of ?brava dubrovacka? has been formed crossing the levels of history, legends and imagination in the traditional epic poems. It has been established as a conventional motif in the folklore tradition. Later it was transfered from the folklore tradition into so called ?artistc literature?. The continuance of the idea of ?brava dubrovacka? in the literature tradition gener?ally proves the importance of the old Dubrovnik to the entire Serbian cultural tradition.

The hagiographic episodes most relevant to this enquiry are certainly those describing Sava's stay in Tirnovo, his death (1236) and the translation of his remains to his homeland (1237).

Abstract:
The article examines the motif of dreams in the works of M. Yu. Lermontov as a key element of his artistic world, reflecting the poet's philosophical reflections on fate, reality, and illusion. Analyzing Lermontov's poetic works, the author identifies the main functions of the dream : the desire to escape from reality, prophetic revelations, the recognition of the illusory nature of the world, and the symbol of inanimate nature. Special attention is given to the dualism of dreams and reality, where the protagonist balances between the ordinary and the fantastic, striving to find the truth but

Abstract:
Utilizing the metaphors of family and the migrant family road trip, this essay offers an appreciative challenge to Vondey’s contribution of constructive theological narrative of the fivefold gospel. By suggesting the importance of the inclusion of a relational and familial model, it raises the issue of what is missed by the lack of inclusion of the voices of testifying members of the Pentecostal family, particularly those of sisters and mothers. Further, the journey motif, it is suggested, better fits the epic spirituality of the Pentecostal movement.

For example, Vergil and, more than a century later, Luke both imitated Homer’s account of Zeus’s lying dream to Agamemnon, Priam’s escape from Achilles, and Odysseus’s shipwreck and visit to the netherworld.

Abstract:
In its earliest years of existence, cinema seems to have been fascinated by stasis and stillness. As if emphasizing its capacity to represent movement, early cinema comprises many scenes in which moving people interact with static paintings and sculptures. Moreover, films made shortly before and after 1900 often make explicit the contrast between the new medium of film and the traditional arts by means of the motif of the statue or the painting coming to life. In so doing, early film continued a form of popular entertainment that combined the art of the theater with those of painting and sculpture, namely the tableau vivant, or living picture. Focusing on the trick films of Georges Méliès and the early erotic films by the Viennese Saturn Company, this chapter reveals the importance and continuity of nineteenth-century motifs and traditions with regard to tableaux vivants as they were presented on the legitimate stage, in magic, in vaudeville, and in burlesque.

The choice of OIcel. garðr ‘fenced space’ and its derivatives as objects of study is not accidental since this lexeme is used in the “Elder Edda” to nominate key concepts of the local-temporal continuum, namely the sphere of habitation of gods (cf. OIcel. ásgarðr) and people (cf. OIcel. mið garðr). For an adequate study of the epic word and the denotations encoded by it, a special description scheme has been developed, taking into account a variety of factors influencing the constitution of its meaning.
