Abstract:

Vasyl Dobrianskyi's novel has not actually been studied by literary critics, and therefore, the study of various aspects of the poetics of the work "The choice of Captain Kotliarevskyi. Burning Europe", including the poetics of everyday life in the structure of the text, is relevant. Everyday life in history and culturology is currently studied more than in the literature. It is evidenced by the appearance of numerous works in history and culturology studies. However, the interdisciplinary nature of research indicates the prospects of this area for the interpretation of literary texts. This is

Abstract:

Perestroika became a time when the thematic spectrum of public discussions expanded. In addition to discussions about everyday life, the ideas of deconstructing the Soviet bureaucratic and ideological system became relevant. This dialogue has had an impact on specific institutions. This article analyzes an example of criticism of the Komsomol organization in the film Emergency of the District Scale (ChP raionnogo mashtaba). The main part of the study is devoted to the analysis of this movie’s discussions. The assessment was influenced by local bans that prevented the film from being released.

Introduction Explorations of the multimedia game format within cultural studies have been broadly approached from two perspectives: one -- the impact of technologies on user interaction particularly with regard to social implications, and the other -- human computer interactions within the framework of cybercultures. Another approach to understanding or speaking about games within cultural studies is to focus on the game experience as cultural practice -- as an activity or an event. In this article I wish to initiate an exploration of the aesthetics of player space as a distinctive element of

The Sword in the Stone is regarded as “one of the most obscure [films] in the Disney animated canon” (Booker 38). Although it performed moderately we

This article surveys a range of contemporary autobiographical texts that are titled with, or revolve around, that powerful and most evocative word, “fat”.

Abstract:

Transmedia storytelling, as defined by Henry Jenkins in 2006 in his book Convergence Culture, highlights a production strategy that aims to augment the narration of a cultural work by scattering it across several media platforms—digital or non-digital. The term is certainly quite recent, but the practices are not new and allow us to understand the evolution of the cultural industries and the creation of a new media ecosystem. As Matthew Freeman states, transmedia storytelling always relies on industrial changes, the narration adapting itself to new media synergies and novelties to create engag

Yet, if the past is of any relevance, the archive cannot maintain a rigid fixity that does not intersect with the present. In the work of the Atlas Group, the fabrication of “archival material” reflects what Hal Foster has termed an “archival impulse” that is constructed of multiple temporalities.

What is less recognised is the extent to which J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1872 Gothic novella Carmilla has also influenced Mulholland Drive.

Exemplary of this is the way noir has hybridised with other genres and styles, true of comedy as much as its more serious pairings with science fiction, Western, and Gothic.

When hearing a particular song, it can “easily evoke a whole time and place, distant feelings and emotions, and memories of where we were, and with whom” (Lewis 135). Music has the ability to provide maps to real and imagined spaces, positioning people within a larger social environment where songs “are never just a song, but a connection, a ticket, a pass, an invitation, a node in a complex network” (Kun 3).

In common use it refers to something ‘composed of many interrelated parts’, or problems ‘so complicated or intricate as to be hard to deal with’. I
