Current practices in French poetic discourse: Christian Prigent, Michèle Finck and Anne-James Chaton
... theatrical production (Finck) and computer processing of the author's voice (Chaton). Contemporary poetry, especially French, persists in its quest for new codes for accessing the reader, seeking innovative forms of conveying vicarious experiences with transformative potency. Prigent, Finck, and Chaton fully harness the power of the sounding voice in their poetic work: distinctive intonations, prosody, and timbre become auditory 'anchors', substituting the mnemonic techniques of traditional poetic systems....

The authors hypothesise that while the generalised frame structure remains unchanged, the content of its slots transforms under the influence of the conceptual domain, which affects the understanding and structuring of information by a linguistic personality. The content of frame slots aligns with the conceptual domain, whose information scope guides the selection ...

Influence of selenium nanoparticles on basic cultivation parameters and phytostimulating properties of Lactococcus lactis
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of selenium nanoparticles on the key cultivation parameters and phytostimulatory properties of Lactococcus lactis IMB B-7352. Cultivation of L. lactis IMB B-7352 was carried out in MRS medium supplemented with nanoselenium at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 mg/L (based on selenium content). The antagonistic activity of L. lactis IMB B-7352 against cultures of phytopathogenic bacteria was assessed using the agar block method. It was found...
Attractiveness of landscapes as a factor in the development of recreational nature management of the Sambia Peninsula seashore

The methodology was tested on 31 sections of the Sambia Peninsula’s coastline. The analysis of their attractiveness revealed a predominance of areas with a high level of appeal (56.8 % of the studied coastal length) and a complete absence ...

Errors in inferences ...

Based on the data of the National Russian Corpus, it is shown that changes in the perception of the “I” in the 19th—20th centuries, described in philosophy, led to the emergence of rhetorical ...
Semiotics of ‘the new Soviet man’ concept in the works of the Strugatsky brothers: from the “Noon Universe” to the “Doomed City”
..., Arkady and Boris Strugatsky formulated the principal characteristics of the concept of the ‘Soviet man’ as a person of labour (action), a person of duty (sacrifice), and a person of science (enlightenment). This concept undergoes a significant transformation over the course of their literary work. The analysis of the semiosphere of the novel ”The Doomed City” (“Grad obrechennyi”, 1975) demonstrates that the Strugatskys succeeded in tracing the genesis of the ‘Soviet man’ through ...

The methodology employed is based on an interdisciplinary approach: hermeneutic analysis of urban texts, decoding hidden cultural and historical layers; comparative ...

However, it is important to recognize that Central Asia also encompasses ...

Poetics of the deconstruction of Reinhard Jirgl’s text: A translational perspective
This article explores Reinhard Jirgl’s concept of literary writing, which uses linguistic and textual deconstruction, alphanumeric encoding, and intra- and intertextual strategies. Semiotic and discursive analyses allow identifying lexical, syntactic, and semantic elements of the structural and functional performativity of Jirgl’s texts. His prose exploits the enormous poetic potential of the alphanumeric code, the aesthetics of narrative simultaneity and hypertextuality, and the fragmentedness...

Poetical text as a way of organizing city space
Since the sixties of the twentieth century, different algorithms for using poetic texts in the transformation of urban space have emerged. Poetic discourse is being increasingly contextualized in space, whose role in the contemporary cultural system and specific tasks of urbanism has been growing. In the urban context, poetry may acquire different ...
Theatrical interpretation of a literary work from the standpoint of semiotic creativity

Semiotic resonance is understood as the correlations of recurrently used signs accompanied by the amplification of meaning and emergence of new semantic projections. The investigation of the play — theatrical performance transformations made it possible to identify the specific levels of semiotic creativity, which correspond to the degree of pragmatic identity of the original content and its modulations. The author singled out the level of pragmatic equivalence and the ...
Poetical reduplications in Alexander Vvedensky’s fiction

Vvedensky's thematization of reduplication as the "doubling of the world" is a mirror, which deforms and transforms reality. Mirror semiosis illustrates the loss of iconicity by reduplication and, as a consequence, the impossibility to represent the object by its reflection. The authors conclude that on the level of vocabulary and grammar, reduplication ...
Interdiscursivity as a linguocreative appropriation of discourses: the avant-garde and Andrey Tarkovsky

The specificity of the interdiscursivity of “Stalker” is determined both by a significant degree of transformation of its literary basis and by a varied appropriation of certain types of discourse in the process of making a film as an original artistic-aesthetic object. Elements of different types of discourse act as linguistic and creative means that ...

Special attention is paid to the so-called ‘naïve’ axiology. The coronavirus ...

Imposture as a problem of reference: semiotics of the name in Boris Godunov

Based on the analysis of contexts of inappropriate use of a name in a situation of imposture, described in Pushkin's tragedy Boris Godunov, the author considers semiotic mechanisms of transformation and assignment of identity. The article shows that Pushkin's intuition allowed him to see the problems that arose in the analytical philosophy of the name of the second half of the 20th century. Pushkin consistently creates contexts in ...
On poetic emotiology in poetry and beyond

Attention is focused on discursive transformations associated with the formation of a mythological world in which its own special laws operate. In both discourse types, orientation towards results correlates with orientation towards the message itself.

The tremendous public excitement, which spread across the most diverse strata of the Russian Empire in 1876—1877, was indicative of an effective mobilisation rhetoric. However, the disappointment,...
