Abstract:

North America,and in particular the United States, has fascinated Europeans as the place of the "exotic other " for at least the last two centuries. This article surveys American and European art, novels,radio programs, Western films, and television Westerns from the 1820s to the present. It posits that the presence of Indians, fictional Western heroes,gunmen,and a perceived general level of violence made frontier and Western America more colorful and exciting than similar circumstances and native people in other parts of the world. This resulted in a continuing interest in the fictional aspec

Published in 1816, Malvina, or the Heart's Intuition by Maria Wirtemberska appeared but five years after the publication of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility (1811). My paper stipulates that Wirtemberska's Malvina was to a large extent inspired by Austen's novel although no straightforward evidence exists to suggest that the Polish writer was familiar with the works of the English author. Austen's novels were not rendered into Polish in the nineteenth century: the first translation was published as late as 1934. But novels by Western European authors were read by educated Poles in their orig

AbstractThe Secret Agent and Lolita are among the most influential novels of the last century.

These two upmarket infiltration novels track an uneasy movement into the heart of Anglo-American darkness. Taken together, they also describe the arc of cultural capital traveling across the Atlantic. They orbit a myth of the stable West that can be neither disavowed nor dismantled.

In contrast, this article examines Chulkov’s work as a complex example of cultural transfer that took place on several levels: among languages and national traditions; between poetry and prose; on the somewhat indeterminate level of genre; between oral and print, verbal and visual media; and between high and low, popular and highbrow cultural registers.

Some critics argue that modernity finds adequate expression in the city novel as in novels like Zola’s Paris (1898), James Joyce’s Ulysses (1921), John Dos Passos’ Manhattan Transfer (1925) and Alfred Döbblins Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929) among others.

Abstract:

This paper is a brief review of the translation works between China and Europe in the long eighteenth century. The translations of Western texts into Chinese in the period can be roughly divided into three categories: religious texts, scientific works and popular literary writings. The latter two categories usually served missionary purposes and to some degree were regarded as an extension and by-product of missionary endeavours. Additionally, the translation of Chinese novels into English in the period provides a lens through which we can explore the nature of European–Chinese transcultural e

Abstract:

Passion for the work of F.Dostoevsky prompted American researchers not only to thoroughly learn the Russian language, but also to study all the main works on this topic that were published in Russia. They created works that not only carefully reflected all the biographical facts and real life circumstances of Dostoevsky, but also successfully recreated the intellectual and cultural atmosphere that prevailed in Russian society of that era. In the work of American philologists, all the literary and philosophical disputes, in which F. was at the center, were fully reflected.Dostoevsky. All these

Abstract:

The philosophy of European Enlightenment has valorized the supremacy of man, owing to his rational faculty. The universal notion of human centrism is responsible for creating the „other‟, also perceived as the „lesser‟. The Western philosophy for long has upheld binaries – human/non-human; soul/body; sex/gender; man/woman and so on. Such crippling binarization has led to discriminations, claiming the dominance of one over the „other‟. It has facilitated the subjugation of the „other‟ by the assumed superior power through the politics of prejudiced representation of the „other‟. The postmodern

This article identifies the correspondences that Ibn Khaldun’s concepts of asabiya, mulk and dynasty have in Michel Houellebecq’s 2015 novel Submission. It analyses the work of a contemporary author through the method sketched out by a Muslim scholar of the 14th century, thereby provincializing a European text, and showing the continuities of cultural thought in the Mediterranean. While putting the role of asabiya at the centre, the article deploys Dipesh Chakrabarty’s understanding of provincialization, and Fernand Braudel’s concept of encounters in the Mediterranean.

The texts of the Ukrainian translations of Jonathan Stroud’s «Lockwood & Co.» series of novels are analyzed by the author. It was found out that the problem of semantic and stylistic interpretation of direct speech and the selection of verbs that introduce direct speech when translating English works of fiction into Ukrainian is a constantly relevant one and causes active discussions among translation experts, linguists and critics.

Contemporary Anglophone diasporic Arab writers have initiated an “Occidentalist discourse” through which they depict a complete image of the Occident. Their narratives are not meant to distort or misrepresent the “other”, but to provide the reader with nuanced accounts about what an Arab immigrant/ refugee may experience in the “West”. These narratives are deemed consistent because contemporary Anglophone diasporic Arab writers have become part of their host countries’ sociocultural tapestry since they are, in most cases, part of European countries’ population.

“Nothing dies so hard as a word”, wrote Harry Quilter in 1892, “—particularly a word nobody understands.” At the end of the nineteenth century, one such word—first uttered in America, but soon reverberating across the Western world—was “neurasthenia”. Popularized by the American neurologist George M Beard, this vaguely defined nervous disorder seemed to crop up everywhere, from medical journals to the popular press to belles lettres. Looking back at the years leading up to the Second World War, Paul Hartenberg recalled its remarkable pervasiveness: “It could be found everywhere, in the salons,

The research relies on the novels A Knight of Our Time by N. M. Karamzin and Emile, or On Education by J.-J. Rousseau. The work of Karamzin preserves the traditional view of the character’s childhood as a period of preparation for future life at the declarative level. However, in the principles of depiction, he departs from this logical construction and questions the linear interdependence of different periods of the heroes’ lives. The text published by

After 9/11, there came a transformation in the image of Muslims as they have been labelled as fundamentalists, fanatics, and terrorists.
