Daughter, stepdaughter, and daughter again: нow the main character of Yuri Yanovkyi's play changed with each edition of it
Despite the fact that Yurii Yanovskyi's play The Prosecutor's Daughter has already attracted the attention of researchers, the main goal of scholars most oftenle was to analyze the final version of the work. The lack of thorough research about the history of the play makes this article relevant. Yanovskyi's archive provides a wealth material for research in general and about The Prosecutor's Daughter in particular. Within one research it seems more appropriate to focus on one of the major changes in the text. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the transformation of the image of the main character of the play in different editions of the work. The subject of the research is the image of the main heroine of the play in different editions, and the object of research is the author's notes to the play, its variants, editions, and memoirs of Yanovskyi's contemporaries concerning his work. Such an analysis obviously involves the use of not only general philological research methodology but also methods of source criticism and textual criticism. Research results. Despite the author's position by Yanovskyi and those scholars who also agree with it, this study shows that the play Day of Wrath, written in 1940 have to be considered as the first edition of The Prosecutor's Daughter because of the similarity of characters, beginnings, and even identities of certain dialogues. Three editions of the play have been identified, the first, already mentioned, written in 1940, the second edition created by Yanovskyi after the war in 1952, and the last edition, which in this study dates with the last authorial version of the play, published posthumously in 1956. The main problem in all editions is the involvement of a girl from a supposedly quite decent and wealthy family on a criminal way. In the first edition, the author vividly depicts the flaws in the character of family members, thus demonstrating that the criminal path is a natural result in the life of a girl who has no love or authorities in the family. The image of the main character in the first edition is not without flaws, but at the same time it is tragic. In the second and third editions, Yanovskyi embodies the idea of justifying children expressed in the note to the play. In the second edition, the image of the main character is idealized, the girl is so balanced and cold-blooded that she is able to resist an adult and experienced criminal who deceitfully involves children in criminal schemes. In the third edition, the main character portrays the pain realistically; she is confused and scared in front of an adult criminal. The author again shifts the emphasis to the shortcomings of her relatives, to the lack of attention on their part, due to which the girl finds herself alone with too difficult problems for her. The analysis allows one to see how the image of the main character has changed in different editions of The Prosecutor's Daughter. Given the wealth of material preserved in the Yanovskyi’s Fund, the analysis of such changes in this play and other plays presents a wide field for writers to explore. Such research would enrich the knowledge of Yanovskyi's individual creative approach, and would be an important contribution to the general study of Ukrainian drama of the Soviet era.

The article studies the variants of Valentin Kataev’s comedy Time, forward! in order to identify edits that influenced the author’s expression and the reader’s perception of the image of the main character. While researching comedy variants, it was found that the authors interested in Kataev’s work avoided the comedy Time, forward!. In our opinion, knowing about the corrections of the text of the play, Soviet critics, guided by political correctness, did not dare to engage in public polemics and literary-critical discussion around the famous writer. In the post-Soviet period, Kataev’s dramaturgy lost its relevance, did not kindle the interest of specialists. This study was conducted on the material of the comedy editions published during the author’s lifetime. Its relevance is justified by establishing the originality of the image of the main character of the main version of the work, reflecting the characters, emotions and feelings of people of its era. As part of the sample analysis it was found that by making corrections to the climactic scenes of the ending of the 1934 play, the author leaves the plot, the sequence of scenes, the system of images, the general idea of the work unchanged. During the comparison of the variants of the work, the edits made by the author to the two scenes of the finale were revealed. These scenes, connecting with the preceding scene, create a single plot and ideological and emotional node of the climax of the work. The image of the characters and the hero acquire a completely different appearance. With the appearance of comedy in public and up to the present, it has been believed that the image of the main character is a passionate and uncompromising fighter for the communist attitude to work. The edits revealed in the study in the version of the comedy of 1934, without dismissing the hero’s struggle for the result, a high pace in the socialist competition, indicate self-assertion of personality: high morality, friendly feelings. The image of the communist hero, which did not correspond to the literary and political canon, caused acute criticism and was the reason for suppressing the work. The results of the study give ground to consider the version of the play Time, forward! of 1934, a valuable source reflecting the characters, emotions and feelings of the heroes of its time.

Introduction. The article examines Yakut heroic olonkho epics — Nyurgun Bootur the Swift by P. Oyunsky and Kulun Kullustuur the Obstinate by I. Timofeev-Teploukhov — for techniques employed to create portraits of main characters. According to N. Yemelyanov, the olonkho Kulun Kullustuur the Obstinate recorded from taleteller I. Timofeev-Teploukhov clusters with earliest patterns of archaic epic, while that of Yakut writer P. Oyunsky (Nyurgun Bootur the Swift) is the first literary adaptation of olonkho texts. The study attempts an insight into how and which particular portrayal techniques were used by P. Oyunsky and I. Timofeev-Teploukhov to depict main characters of theirs. The comparative approach to the narratives recorded in different periods shall make it possible to trace the use of portrayal techniques, which shall underline the unique artistic features characterizing each of the taletellers, and show how such portrayal patterns developed to gain deeper associative essentials in further olonkho texts. Goals. The study aims to identify some distinct features inherent to the techniques of creating main characters’ portraits in the olonkhos Nyurgun Bootur the Swift and Kulun Kullustuur the Obstinate, and outline ethnic specifics in portrayal characteristics. To facilitate this, the paper shall classify portrayals, articulate types of techniques and their functions in portraying a main character, identify stable formulas employed to depict heroes, determine specific features of portrayal as a key technique for the making of an epic hero. The work reviews the existing types of epic portraits, their functions and attributes, examines some visual means serving to unveil the images of main characters. Results. The study attests to the examined narratives are characterized by an increased stability of depictive portrayals with peripheral parts (artistic and emotional epithets) tending to vary. Each such depictive portrayal proves multifunctional, semantically wide, and technically relevant. The descriptions of the heroes’ appearances are somewhat idealized and rich in comparisons, repetitions, evaluative epithets. Portrayal agendas of P. Oyunsky vary through history and depend on actual artistic methods and style employed by the author who pays special attention to fictional details depicted in the context of folk traditions. The study of the techniques helps identify which innovative tools P. Oyunsky used when he was creating his Nyurgun Bootur the Swift.

This article continues the author's research devoted to the study of the problem of choreographic interpretations of literary works, in particular, John Neumeier's ballet "Anna Karenina". In this work, the identification of expressive staging means and choreographic elements used by Neumeier in the production of duets by Anna Karenina and Alexei Vronsky is carried out in order to determine the place of these choreographic fragments in the performance, as well as their significance for the author's interpretation of the images of the main characters of the novel by Leo Tolstoy. In the course of the research, the author applied comparative-historical, ideological-artistic and analytical methods, as well as the method of included observation (based on personal experience of working with Neumeier on Kitty's party). In the course of the source analysis, video materials from the archives of the Hamburg Ballettzentrum and the Moscow Bolshoi Theater were used, as well as lectures conducted by Neumeier before the Moscow premiere of Anna Karenina (recordings from the author's archive). A detailed analysis of the dance score of three duets by Anna and Vronsky revealed traditional and innovative author's solutions related to the new research results. So, Neumeier uses such staging means as the compilation of Tchaikovsky and Schnittke's music; the inclusion of symbolic images (a chair, a door, a bag) in the choreographic canvas; the appearance of other characters; the use of stage lighting to accentuate the transition from reality to the sphere of the subconscious; active choreographic development based on a technically saturated duet dance, replete with high supports in the neoclassical style, as well as acrobatic elements; semantic use of plastic quotations. It can be concluded that in order to develop the images and relationships of Anna Karenina and Alexey Vronsky, the choreographer chooses a duet as the dominant musical and choreographic form. Moreover, in his version of Anna Karenina, Neumeier makes three duets of the main characters a key component of the performance and the author's interpretation of the images of the main characters.

Взаємозв’язок між наративом художнього твору і системою образів є одним з важливих аспектів дослідження сучасної наратологіі. У статті зроблено спробу наративного аналізу системи точок зору, створеної В.К. Желєзниковим у повісті «Опудало». Мета дослідження – виділити й охарактеризувати різні точки зору, які формують образ головної героїні даного твору. Протягом розвитку сюжету твору точка зору на головну героїню змінюється. Її внутрішній світ, вчинки та поведінка аналізуються крізь призму сприйняття оповідача, її дідуся, однокласника, а також за допомогою передачі її власних переживань. Використовуючи методику аналізу точок зору, запропоновану В. Шмідом, ми виділили такі типи точок зору, представлені в повісті: однополюсна нарраторіальна, однополюсна персональна та різнополюсна. Було відзначено, що в характеристиці образу головної героїні з точок зору оповідача і Миколая Миколайовича простежується ніжне та дбайливе ставлення до дівчинки, яке виражається на рівнях сприйняття, оцінки та мови. Велике місце в оповіді твору займає розповідь героїні дідусеві про минулі події, які відбулися з нею. У цьому зізнанні дівчинка аналізує свої вчинки та почуття і таким чином транслює власну точку зору на себе. Точки зору однокласників і інших жителів містечка з приводу Оленки представлені в тексті «Опудала» спорадично. Про їхнє ставлення до дівчинки читач дізнається з розповіді самої героїні. Відсутність відношення городян до героїні може свідчити як про їх байдужість до дівчини, так і про свідому відмову автора включати їх негативні характеристики, які могли б негативно відбитися на образі Оленки. Таке рішення може бути пов’язано також із прагненням автора посилити виховну функцію, яку несе в собі твір для дітей. У роботі ми прийшли до висновку, що В.К. Желєзников розглядає образ дівчинки з різних точок зору для створення багатогранного портрета героїні та більш повного розкриття її внутрішнього світу.

This article analyzes the linguistic portrait of a repressed woman. To provide a detailed description, the image of the main female character in the novel under study is compared with the totally opposite image of her mother-in-law; at the same time, these images are closely intertwined. The heroine’s vocabulary, the sentence structure in speech, the punctuation marks, the ratio of internal and external speech (the internal monologues help to describe the main character Zuleikha most accurately) and the dynamics of these characteristics, as the storyline develops, are the most important elements of creating her linguistic portrait. We note the significance and importance of studying the linguistic picture of the world of our authors (in this case, the study is based on the novel by the modern author Guzel Yakhina) within the integrative paradigm of linguistics and the general need to study the language of G. Yakhina’s text with the aim of introducing inophone students to the Russian language and literature. This analysis allows students of the Russian language not only to improve their communication skills, but also introduces them to the key moments of our history, the culture of Russia and the region of residence (in this case, Tatarstan) – since the culture of speech is not only the ability to speak eloquently and correctly, but also the knowledge of the people’s specific features.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the ideological, thematic, descriptive, intonation-rhythmic consonance of the musical accompaniment of the band “DakhaBrakha” with the film and film story by O. Dovzhenko. The article highlights the role of musical accompaniment in the restored 2012 version of the film “Earth” by the famous Ukrainian director of the twentieth century O. Dovzhenko. This is the first study in which, through the comprehension of the trinity of the samples of music, cinema, and literature, new meanings are revealed in musical compositions and the film, the relevance of the raised existential problems is expressed, the ethnic basis of the concept of characters and the works of art chosen for the analysis as a whole are indicated. The corpus of methods was applied in the research: the cultural-historical method contributed to the understanding of the place, role, and meaning of film, music, and literary texts in contemporary artistic realities; the intermedial approach helped in identifying and characterizing the common, different and peculiar in the pictorial, mood, ideological and thematic, content filling of scenes, micro-episodes, symbolic images and details in samples belonging to various types of arts; the hermeneutic method is applied to reveal and interpret the traditional and innovative in stylistic specificity of the ethno-chaos performance of the “DakhaBrakha” band. Based on the cultural and historical method, the hermeneutic method, and the intermedial approach in the research it was emphasized that the instruments (accordion, drum, cello, ratchet, etc.) involved by the DakhaBrakha musical group, their tonality, rhythm, as well as the Ukrainian folklore samples involved in the content plan contributed to the effective depiction of various states of the main and secondary characters (joy, grief, concentration, sadness, thoughtfulness, etc.), the moods of the peasants, interpersonal relationships, emphasizing the character traits of Ukrainian heroes, hereditary farmers, their natural desire to work on the land and thus self-actualize. The article remarked on the role of pauses in the reflection of emotionally capacious, conceptually important film episodes, micro-episodes, and scenes, enhanced by demonstrative cinematic techniques. The trinity of music, cinematic material, and literary work in the construction of characters and perfect plot layout is emphasized. The musical design of the film “Earth” by O. Dovzhenko, carried out by the ethnic-chaos DakhaBrakha group, accentuates the national selfhood of the Ukrainian character, even though the film tells about collectivization, the purposeful policy of the then Soviet government (the 30s of the twentieth century) to destroy the private property of Ukrainians, to negate the feeling of the owner composed over the centuries. Skillfully combined traditional and innovative stylistic specificity of performing skills of the ethnic-chaos group “DakhaBrakha” contribute to the identification of subtexts, codes for the interpretation of the content of works, actual existential problems, and national originality of the characters. The order, tempo of the musical performance as well as the visual content, that was thought out by the authors of the film, form the musical leading motif of the movie and deepen the understanding of the subtext, symbolic accents of the literary work, emphasize the features of the artistic presentation of the land problem with the help of expressive images of sunflowers, gardens, steppes, fields, oxen, etc. There are a music tempo-rhythmic and tonal-emotional support of frames in the film, that as well performs a peculiar function of sound illustration in the corresponding episodes of the literary text, thus giving the images of main characters and minor characters dynamics and expression. The musical drama of the film “Earth”, audio visualization of the main and secondary characters, repetition, the collision of frames with different plans, landscapes, and the specifics of their location in the frames emphasize the problematic of the literary work, contribute to the multifaceted images of heroes in the literary work and in the film, enhance the understanding of the conflicts (intra-frame, interpersonal, worldview, etc.), testify to the ideological-thematic, compositional, pictorial, emotional-semantic unity of musical, cinematographic and literary texts.

To compare and analyze the original novel of ”AQ” written by Lu-shin and the script of the Chinese Opera edited by Shi-chi-gan and Chung-chuan-hsin which is presented by Fu-hsin Chinese Opera performers from three dimensions: the plot, characters and the stage performance. The plot of the original copy comes from the point of view and the words of ”AQ”. However, the edited Chinese Opera is reinforced by the performance of the other roles to increase the interaction between the other characters and the main character. Thus, it made the image of the main character more vivid and lively. This Chinese Opera not only integrated modern literature with traditional dramas but also made the audiences perceive the possibility of modernize traditional dramas.
