Visualization of the esthetics of memories in the novels of W. G. Sebald «The Rings of Saturn» and «Austerlitz»
... literary critics. Early novels of W. G. Sebald have been studied in more detail. Photography performs an illustrative function in them. In “The Ring of Saturn” and “Austerlitz” the significance of visual inserts for the formation of the narrative is determined by their absolute integration with the text. I hold that photography in W. G. Sebald’s works is the embodiment of a collective memory of the past. It encourages the creation of personal history and evokes individual memories....
Poetics of the deconstruction of Reinhard Jirgl’s text: A translational perspective
... 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 of the agent. The principle of aberrant text production helps the author stage the process of sense formation and brings to the fore the concept of hierarchical rule destruction, which ...

Origins and beginnings. The Livonian Rhymed Chronicle as a reference point for literature in the Teutonic Order
Almost all recent historical and literary studies agree that the Livonian Chronicle conveys an impression of a poetical work containing archaic elements. The affinity between the Chronicle and German heroic epic poetry is often stressed. The established perspective, which distorts the image of the Chronicle, requires adjustment. This literary study into the Chronicle’s text complements research on the development of corporate identity in the Teutonic Order.

Each participant in this creative process acts not only as a co-creator, but also as a co-author of many narratives. The narratives, which translate personalized evaluative and often pseudo-expert opinions into the public space, are becoming increasingly emotional to the detriment of the content.

The goal of Yakov’s relentless spiritual struggle, in which he overcomes pain and suffering, is to obstruct all dark forces, which he perceives as servants of the Antichrist. In the narrator’s perception, Yashka appears as an ascetic figure, whose underdeveloped intellect masks a genuine striving to comprehend the structure of the world and a tireless determination to fight evil. Identifying the mortal semantics of the prison topos ...
Digital poetry between the printed page and cinema: the difference in agency structures

The evolution from literary text through digital cinema to interactive digital forms highlights the difference between the recipients of literary and digital texts. The recipient of a literary text brings to life the narrative or a lyrical 'self', actively engaging with the text through imagination. The recipient of a digital text identifies with an 'avatar' capable of making choices that influence plot development but is less effective at enriching unfolding ...
“Who are you?” or implementing the strategy of depersonalization on an autobiographical narrative
This article seeks to explore the possibility of applying psychological and neurobiological data with regard to the notions of “self”, “narrative identity”, and “depersonalization” to the case of autobiography as a type of text. The analysis highlights the importance of memory being a cognitive process that underlies any self-narration. Using Will Self’s work “Walking to Hollywood: ...

Due to this, each of them viewed their countries from the outside. Through travel narration, which, to a high degree, is also the narration of a voyage through the kingdom of death, they describe the problems of their countries. All the above-mentioned factors help to establish the imagery connection to the works of Cervantes and Dante....

The basic references of the central image of the exterior plastics — the biblical David, as well as those narratives that are determined by these references are classified. The mechanism of localisation of universal religious narratives is shown through the distinction between text and subtext. Thus, the role of external temple decoration in constructing ...

By changing the title and other minor, but substantial, parts of the text, the translator transfers his interpretation of the text onto the Swedish translation. The narrative structure is altered and, as a result, the reader of the Swedish version does not have access to the same multiple interpretations afforded by Cortázar’s Spanish text.

Grammatically extended adjectival, participial and adverbial phrases, frequent in Nekrasov’s poetry, cause additional predication, which makes it possible to expand the narrative. The predicative attribute often combines the functions of an attribute with those of the adverbial modifiers of cause and consequence, which gives additional impetus to the narrative plot development. The analysis shows that Nekrasov’s style ...

Through intertextual references, allusions to mythology, cinema, and literature,...

Polydomain transfers enable agents of a manipulative act to craft layered conceptual narratives that target various levels of perception and interpretation, thus making manipulative effects more difficult to detect. The study of conceptual transfer in relation to manipulation is particularly crucial in the context of the global information ...
