Artistic Means Research Articles

MYTHS OF THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD IN CHILDREN'S READING

Children's literature is an organic part of general literature, but has its own specifics, determined by the synthesis of pedagogical and aesthetic requirements. Children's literature focuses on the interests of the reader-child, written taking into account the psychology of a particular age. The language of the children's book is characterized by the richness of the artistic means used and, at the same time, by the availability associated with the selection of means that are close to the perception of the child.

Analysis of Translation Methods for Artistic Translation

The main feature of artistic translation comes from the artistic function of the language. Language becomes an aesthetic phenomenon, an art fact in a work of art. The language of a literary work is the element of "artistic reality" in ethics. In translation, it is this figurative process of transferring the artistic meaning in the traditional language to the figurative expressive ground of another language, re-expressing the image with the image takes place. Therefore, the translator perceives anew the process of artistic thinking of events in the work. In this article, opinions and considerations will be made about the analysis of methods for artistic translation.

Artistic Exceptionalism and the Risks of Activist Art

Abstract Activist artists often face a difficult question: is striving to change the world undermined when pursued through difficult and experimental artistic means? Looking closely at Adrian Piper’s Four Intruders Plus Alarm Systems (1980), I consider why this is an important concern for activist art and assess three different responses in relation to Piper’s work. What I call the ‘conciliatory stance’ recommends that when activist artists encounter misunderstanding, they should downplay their experimental artistry in favor of fitting their work to their audience’s appreciative capacities. What I call the ‘steadfast stance’ recommends that activist artists have reason to use their privilege of artistic exceptionalism to challenge their audience’s expectations, even if this leads to misunderstanding. I claim that a middle position, which I call ‘liberal conciliation’, best balances the demands for actual change placed on activism and the experimental means that artists bring to activism.

USE OF PERIPHRASES IN ART LITERATURE

The article analyzes the structure and meaning of paraphrases using examples taken from the works of G. Musrepov and S. Mukanov, T. Sauketaeva.

The Compositional Metaphors of Calligraphic Art in Contemporary Chinese Art as the Visual Element

As an essential and unique aesthetic element in Chinese art history, script art also has an influence on contemporary practices, which could not be overlooked. Practices making efforts to subvert or deconstruct the tradition of the calligraphy mechanism, or even the whole language system, have been given great attention in the international art field. However, there is a lack of analysis of the metaphorical structure behind the script. This paper aims to investigate the usage of Chinese characters in contemporary pieces of visual art from two artists and the cultural metaphors behind these literal components.This paper divides the use of Chinese characters as visual elements in contemporary Chinese art into two kinds - the practice of picturizing words and the deconstruction of textual mechanisms - and explores the metaphorical nature behind these two artistic means, using artists Xu Bing and Gu Wenda as representatives. The practice of picturing characters conveys the artists retracing of cultural origins and worship of nature in his Landscript and Living Words projects; the structuring of the mechanisms of characters, including Gu Wendas series of misspellings and Xu Bings The Book of Heaven, implies a rebellion or critique of the system of discourse and power.

Some ways of transferring textual content during the performance of these songs are proposed. An attempt is made to determine the deep meanings that can awaken a wave of interest in searching for new ideas in famous works of the past and finding adequate expressive means of performing interpretation.

Ornament as Symbolic Form of Culture

The purpose of the work is to determine the specifics of ornament functioning as a symbolic form of culture, its meaning and role in marking the socio-cultural environment. The methodological research consists in the application of analytical, structural, cultural-hermeneutical, axiological, and semiotical methods, which allow us to consider the phenomenon of ornament from different aspects of cultural knowledge. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the discovery of the specifics of human signs and symbolic activities based on the example of ornamental decoration and signification. The ornamental functions, its sign-symbolic and socio-psychological components in the cultural-historical environment are researched. We have proven that the carrier of cultural and historical information is ornament and it is the means of communication between generations in space and time. Conclusions. Self-management of a human in the field of culture is implemented by means of symbols and signs, which are organised in such symbolic forms as language, religion, science, and art. Ornament is an artistic means of shape creation of art. Ornament is a dynamic figurative form that demonstrates the temporal cycles of senses in different artistic genres showing the static of image, the topos. Due to dynamic and temporal component codifies the cultural memory of the community, the ornamental chronotope is a storage of national cultural narratives that are re-actualised during the socio-cultural crises, and during request for deep markers of collective knowledge.

Features of Parenthetical Constructions in Mo Yan’s Novel “Tired of Being Born and Dying” (2005)

This article is devoted to the study of parenthetical constructions and structures in the Chinese language of fiction, based on the material of the novel “Tired of being Born and Dying” by Mo Yan (《生死疲劳》莫言，2005) as a problem of modern semantic-syntactic and functional-stylistic phenomena, which, representing localized fragments of speech as part of the main utterance, emphasize the nonlinearity of linguistic thinking and act as an artistic means of expression. Hence, the purpose of this work is to determine and systematize the features of the use of such plug-in constructions in artistic discourse on the selected material, to fix the beginning of the use of such a language practice not typical for Chinese literary texts previously. In the syntax of the Chinese literary language, such pragmatic inserts, or so-called parenthetics, were completely absent until the last quarter of the 20th century, because they were not a normative and characteristic means of Chinese grammar. Its active implementation in artistic discourse can be attributed only to the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries and the first quarter of the 21st century. Syntactically parenthetical constructions function at the system (combinatorics of components), pictorial (stylistic labeling) and compositional (organization of text space) levels. Based on the factual material, it has been proven that the use of parenthetical constructions practice is one of the features of Mo Yan’s idiostyle, integrating different narrative plans. The paper also systematizes the main functions of plug-in structures. The results of the study provide a basis for further research of parenthetical constructions in Chinese prose.

Psychological constructs of the character of professional military men in the works of A.S. Pushkin

Understanding the sources of formation of the character of professional military personnel is an important task of pedagogical psychology, since it makes it possible to make the process of developing the personality of a serviceman in the pedagogical process of a military university more effective. An important source for the formation of character traits of a professional military officer is literary sources, artistic means of influencing personal structures. The subject of research in the article is the psychological properties of the individual, characteristic of the heroes of the works of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, who, according to the author's artistic conception, were professional soldiers. The writer's artistic work in a complex way constructs on the pages of his works the psychological features characteristic of professional military men. The author's knowledge in the work is based on the most popular literary works of A.S. Pushkin using a system-activity and axiological approach to understanding the development of personality. The author notes that a comprehensive study of the images of the domestic military intelligentsia from artistic heroes who have become independent carriers of psychological properties characteristic of domestic officers is an urgent scientific task for modern psychological knowledge, therefore this contradiction must be resolved. The theoretical generalizations obtained as a result of the study can be useful in organizing educational work with cadets, as well as in carrying out other forms of work with military personnel.

Your flight has been cancelled: Stock vector landscape as a digital non-place

This article will present and analyse the results of a research workshop conducted during and after the 2022 Transitus symposium at Falmouth University. The article aims to explore our visions of physical space, travel and migration through stock landscape illustration. The workshop invited illustrators to draw a five-step sequence of images customizing a stock landscape by turning it into a view out of their window, thus exploring how a visual digital ‘airport’, a utopian hub of a stock landscape, disintegrates into particularities of individual experiences. The resulting sequences of images were put together in an online magazine about illustration, Slonvboa.ru, and are available here: http://slonvboa.ru/nonlandscape, accessed 10 June 2023. This webpage collects 30-minute drawings from fourteen illustrators based in ten countries: Armenia, Dubai, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, with ten of the participants being based outside of their home country. Building upon the idea of the ‘nomadic illustration’ suggested by Catrin Morgan and Marc Augé’s notion of ‘non-place’, this article will explore further similarities between nomadism and the circulation of stock imagery. It will thus use the term ‘nomadic’ not only as a metaphor, but also as a direct link to migration studies and studies of digital nomadism, which often describes the precarious occupation of a migrating illustrator. This project will aim to highlight the unlikely possibilities that stock illustration may offer as a point of connection, rather than an alienating utopian abstraction. It will also analyse how individual authorial strategies deal with the notion of space, and how artistic means shape our visions of private and public spaces.

Компенсации диалектных особенностей оригинала в переводе романа Д. Михаиловича «Венок Петрии» с сербского языка на русский

In this publication, the author considers ways to achieve stylistic equivalence between the original text and the translation in the case when the original literary text is written in a dialect and many of its features do not have direct correspondences in the language of translation. The Russian translation of the novel "Petria's Wreath" by D. Mikhailovich, made by O. D. Kutasova, chosen as the subject of the study, is analyzed using the typology of translation compensations proposed by V. K. Lanchikov and M. A. Yakovleva, and a method for assessing the quality of such translation using A. Popovich's system of stylistic shifts.Since we are talking about a literary text written in a dialect, the problems of the article are at the intersection of translation studies, comparative stylistics (in its functional aspect) and dialectology (as an auxiliary discipline).Analyzing a number of examples of the translation technique of O. D. Kutasova, the author comes to the conclusion that the best way to compensate for the inevitable when translating a dialect (or consistently stylized as a dialect) text is to transfer it to the national vernacular of the language of translation, which makes it possible to reproduce the stylistic invariant of the original text in translation. The concrete examples of stylistic compensations given by the author, used in the translation of the novel "Petria's Wreath", allow us to be convinced of the richness of the artistic means available to the translator, who turns to vernacular to translate the dialect text.

Mythopoetical analysis of the kazakh story of the second half of the XX century

In modern Kazakh prose, works written in Russian are of great importance. The Russian-language Kazakh prose of the 60s of the XX century turned into a historical fact not only of Kazakh literature, but also of Kazakh culture. Representatives of the Kazakh Russian-language literature make attempts to comprehend the new reality by artistic means, recreate pictures of a distant history. Kazakh literature has managed to preserve its national identity, because it has always relied on folk traditions, on centuries-old cultural heritage. The article deals with the main mythological motifs and images found in the stories of S. Sanbaev and A. Alimzhanov. The features of their author's mythologism, the refraction of the myth in the context of modernity are studied. The necessity of using the mythopoetic method for understanding the philosophical subtext of a work of art and the author's intention as a whole is substantiated. The author analyzes the symbolic meaning of the names of the heroes of the works, reveals the archetypal image of the old man, the mythology of blindness and insight, etiological and totemic myths are intertwined with the motives of Tengrism. The article substantiates the close relationship between man and nature in the spirit of syncretic mythological consciousness. In conclusion, the author dwells on the advantages of this method in the interpretation of the text. Key words: myth, mythologeme, archetype, image, mythopoetics.   &nbsp

Efficiency of technology for early identification of giftedness in children aged 6-7 through contemporary art

Introduction. The efficiency of early identification of children’s giftedness by means of contemporary art in the conditions of “art workshop” is mediated by the extent to which the technology used for this purpose meets the scientific ideas about comparative effectiveness of implemented diagnostics. However, the efficiency of ISKRA technology for early identification of endowments based on contemporary art has not yet been a subject of special research. Research objective: to analyse and discuss the effectiveness of early identification of giftedness through contemporary art. Materials and methods. The experiment involved 130 preschoolers aged from 6 to 7, attending kindergartens in town Otradnoe, Samara region of the Russian Federation. The giftedness identification methods included: 1) the test “Art+”, realising the idea of duo-vector endowments (music and mathematics, fine arts and sports, music and language studies); 2) a number of tasks developed by the authors of the given article, involving a contemporary art component, which form altogether the educational module “Acquaintance with contemporary art”. The methods of mathematical statistics involved the Mann – Whitney U test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results. The ISKRA technology is based on the current knowledge about giftedness, prepared, for due application to meet the solution of practical problems, in the course of the realisation of a 2018 research project supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. The proposed diagnostic toolkit is centred on the “Art+” methodology which uses the principles of cybernetics in the organisation of the educational “art workshop” environment enriched with works of modern art (photography and video art objects, music, literary texts), materials for creativity (art-specific, pertaining to natural world and also to mathematics, sports, languages). The “Art+” methodology differs from other methods of revealing giftedness in that it focuses on duo-vector complexes: talents for music and mathematics (subtest “Melody of Numbers”), fine arts and sports (subtest “Living Ornament”), music and languages (subtest “Signals from Another Planet”). The second component of ISKRA is curricula for 16 sessions in the “art workshop” for 6 – 7-year old children, based on the material and methods of contemporary art integrating child’s art endeavours with other activities in order to activate “gifted behaviour”, and constituting the training module “Getting to Know Modern Art”. The observation of changes in the child’s behaviour under the influence of art in the process of related activity with creative elements makes it possible to reveal manifestations of giftedness, complementing the results of testing held twice – before and after the educational module classes. The research showed that the “art workshop” classes based on ISKRA technology had a positive effect on all 12 indicators of “gifted behaviour” (p < 0.01) with a varying degree of statistical significance. Conclusion. The obtained results made it possible to consider, in terms of the problem of early identification of giftedness, the possibility to identify the duo-vector giftedness of children, that is activated in response to the use of artistic means; to determine the specifics of “gifted behaviour” depending on the child’s ability to master the ISKRA educational technology that encompasses works of art combined with specific materials and techniques of contemporary art. The research makes it possible to set the guidelines for varying the model of early identification of giftedness and improving the scientific and methodological support for educational process involving gifted children aged 6-7.

Проблематика и поэтика повести «Человек и камень» А. Теппеева

The aim of the research is to identify the peculiarities of the range of problems and poetics of the novella "Man and Stone" by one of the brightest representatives of the Balkarian literature of the second half of the XX - early XXI century Alim Teppeev (1937-2010). It is the first time in national literary studies that an attempt to explore this work from the specified perspective has been made, which accounts for the scientific originality of the paper. As a result of the research, the range of priority problems has been de-termined, the specifics of the conflict, the ideological-artistic singularity of the novella have been revealed. In the course of the analysis, the spiritual-moral and humanistic ranges of problems, which are subjected to an innovative interpretation by the author, are noted as the key ones. Among the problems actualised in the narrative, the problems of the spiritual opposition of "fathers and sons" and sacrifice / willingness to sacrifice have been determined. The ideological confrontation between the representatives of the older and younger generations has been considered as the basis of the main conflict line of the novella. The research has also revealed the artistic means for embodying the main idea of the work, has determined the significant role of details-symbols in the reference of the main characters’ images. The paper provides an opportunity to greatly expand the understanding of the creative personality of the writer.

MEANS OF CREATING THE COMIC IN B. BRECHT'S NOVEL "THE BUSINESS AFFAIRS OF MR JULIUS CAESAR"

In the article, the author makes an attempt to identify the laughter types and to give them a literary characteristic, as well as to determine the means used for their creation in order to explain the artistic nature of the comic, being a peculiarity of this work of the outstanding German writer. The research is based on the original text and its Ukrainian translation. The theoretical considerations rely on the analysis of existing in modern literary studies statements regarding the artistic features of B. Brecht's work, in particular regarding the properties of his laughter, which is often outlined by researchers as an artistic trope that performs the function of expressing the artwork idea. The author of the article substantiates and illustrates her reflections with relevant quotations from the text of the novel. Since the laughter in this work actually has an ideological basis, the peculiarities of the embodiment of the work idea with the help of artistic figures, which in their essence are varieties of the comic, are paid a special attention to. B. Brecht builds the ideological background of the novel by means of characters’ remarks and thoughts, action, plot, as well as at the level of artistic images, the descriptions of nature in particular. Despite the incompleteness of this novel, its idea is clearly outlined by B. Brecht. It is developed with the help of various laughter types - from hidden irony and humour to grotesque and caustic satire and, according to researchers, sometimes to sarcasm and sardonic laughter. The author of the article proves the evolving nature of laughter in B. Brecht's novel "The Business Affairs of Mr Julius Caesar" and also makes an assumption: under the condition of this work completeness, laughter would have undergone new alterations and transformations and, at the end of the story, it would have potentially reached its apogee. On the plot level it would coincide with the moment of the final debunking of the myths about Caesar, in whose image one can read a satire on the mercantile, corrupt world and dirty politics drenched in money. Another peculiarity of the ideological background of this satirical novel is the fact that despite the tragic nature of any war (the novel deals with various wars waged by the Romans), B. Brecht finds artistic means to ridicule even the war and everything occurring around it. He also completely destroys created by historiography myths about great conquests and great conquerors, nullifying the pathos in which the narratives of historiographical sources about Rome and its rulers are shrouded. He shows in particular the conquerors’ baseness and at the same time does not deviate from the comic register of his story.

CREATIVITY AS AN EXPERIENCE AND AS A COMPLEXITY: VISUAL-NARRATIVE RESEARCH OF THE ARTWORKS OF TSIPY AMOS GOLDSTEIN

This article focuses on the work Seven Private Skies (initiated in 2009) by the Israeli artist, Tsipy Amos Goldstein. This is a series of large panels on which the artist has been painting and embroidering for fourteen years as her main occupation. The aim of the study was to establish the meanings inherent in the work, which is a kind of multi-layered cryptograph, while characterizing it in terms of creativity. The research method combined visual-interpretive analysis with both a narrative-feminist paradigm and with theories from the field of creativity studies. The findings showed that the series “tells” through artistic means the artist’s personal story in a way that matches two definitions: creativity as an experience and creativity as a complexity. The article will discuss the characteristics of the artist and artwork as an experience and then will present the paradoxes distinguishing the work as complex: 1. Order versus chaos; 2. Love and home in the face of disintegration; 3. Cuts versus connections and male versus female; 4. Understandable communication in the face of conflicting messages; 5. Star of David versus the Jewish yellow badge.
