Theme of the music in N. P. Gronsky’s poetry
... the poetry of N. P. Gronsky, a representative of the first wave of the Russian diaspora, drawing on mythopoetic and hermeneutic approaches. It identifies the connection of his works with the concept of Pythagoreanism and the idea, characteristic of world art, of dividing the cosmos into Musica Mundana, Musica Humana, and Musica Instrumentalis, a concept particularly prevalent in Silver Age lyric poetry. In Gronsky’s lyrics, music is primarily associated with ancient motifs, as well as pagan and ...
Verbal charm as a special class of performative speech acts in Russian linguoculture
The phenomenon of verbal charms in Russian linguoculture is examined through the lens of speech act theory, one of the key directions of contemporary pragmalinguistics. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for an in-depth investigation of culturally conditioned speech genres functioning within sacred discourse, as well as their role in shaping the linguistic worldview. The aim of the research is to identify the pragmatic characteristics of verbal charms as a distinct class of performative...
On defining cultural modality and its manifestation in L. N. Tolstoy’s short story “Polikushka”

Tolstoy’s story “Polikushka” as material, the study examines the reactions of representatives of the 19th-century peasant world to different aspects of reality. The hypothesis of Y. M. Lotman regarding the cultural significance of the emotions of shame and fear is confirmed. The concept of cultural modality is introduced, defined as a semantic-pragmatic category determined ...
Ernst Jünger’s epic realism: the novel “Eumeswil”
This paper delineates the field of realistic discourse and its internal diversity. It develops a conceptual matrix of epic realism and explicates its key features: the individualisation of collective experience; the transposition of the monumentality of the past into the present and the future; and the transformation of monumentality that results in a problematization of the presumed final impeccability of the author and, ultimately, of the hero. The study examines Ernst J?nger’s intellectual novel...
Affect, symbolization, and “practices of the Self”
... Affects of hope, togetherness, and a new naivety characterise the tension between the individual and the digital environment. When objectified, they become symbols of social status. Thus, representation and its tools evoke a sense of elevation above the world. The overall modulation of these affects is positive; status symbols convey the meaning of a better future, which encourages a shift in the boundaries between the real and the virtual. The mechanism of symbol generation during the transition from ...
Reading signs and being in the world: a dual perspective on semiotics
The article demonstrates, through a series of examples, that reflection on signs relates to two distinct mental operations: the exchange of sign messages between subjects (communication), and the interpretation of signs and sign systems that lack a subjective sender and originate either in natural objects or in the impersonal domain of “culture”. This duality of the object of analysis gives rise to persistent terminological difficulties, which surface in Aristotle’s treatment of the relationship...
Approaches to definition and allocation of depressive territories: Economic and geographical aspect

The January uprising in the worldview of the Warsaw positivists
An attempt has been made to determine the views of Warsaw positivists on the January Uprising. The author turns to literary works, letters, and memoirs of representatives of Warsaw positivism and concludes that the suppression of the uprising in 1863-1864 contributed significantly to the formation of the ideology of this philosophical movement. Positivists openly condemned the Polish liberation movement, believing that armed conflicts would lead to the disappearance of the Polish nation. Despite...
Political communication in the period of international bifurcations

“My statement was lost in the depths of the People's Commissariat of Education”: petitions and intercessions for personal pension provision of Vera Uspenskaya, the daughter of Gleb Uspensky
Based on archival materials, the article considers problems of pensions provision of Vera Uspenskaya (1877—1942) in 1923—1939 whose pension case was registered in the name of her father, the writer Gleb Uspensky. Having analyzed the frequency of changes in the size of Vera Glebovna's personal retirement benefit, the authors found that all the increases in pension amounts were related to personal applications of the pensioner or petitions from her brother, sent to the People's Commissariat of Social...
Vladivostok commercial seaport in the first half of the 1920s: export competition and interdepartmental contradictions

The first quarter of the XX century was a time of severe trials for the whole of Russia in general and the Far East in particular: World War I; Civil War; foreign intervention. All this time, the Vladivostok Harbor was in fact the only source of external contacts of the remote region. Being the largest Russian port on the Pacific Ocean, Vladivostok has historically been a kind of ...
Book-centric picture of the world in O. Tokarchuk’s novels “The Journey of the Book-People” and “The Books of Jacob”

The genre specificity of the two texts, features of their narrative structure, and character systems are considered. It is asserted that the two analyzed books share a logocentric...

Varlamov’s short story ...
