THE TRANSLATION OF S. KING’S “DARK TOWER” NOVEL SERIES AND R. BROWNING’S POEM “CHILDE ROLAND TO THE DARK TOWER CAME”: A COMPARATIVE ASPECT

This article analyzes the formation of the diversity of the genre of the series of novels “The Dark Tower” by Stephen King, as well as the clips of Robert Browning’s poem in the predominant image of the Tower of Roland and the connection with these genre transformations. In the course of the study, the authors analyze the series of novels “The Dark Tower” and the poem “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came”, in particular, the features of the genres, the compositional and stylistic features inherent in these works. When demonstrating the characteristic features of R. Browning’s and S. King’s creative work, it was found that romanticized fantasy per se includes many genre features that differ from the manifestations of horror and classic fiction: fantasy is a genre in the style of high fantasy and concealment, a fairy tale. At the same time, dark fantasy, although it includes most of the traditional fantasy surroundings, is characterized not so much by the interrelationship between its fantasy elements and the narrative, but rather by the connection between the gothic and the horror types of fiction; there is much less science fiction in dark fantasy than in high fantasy. At the discussion stage, it was determined that the best method for translating the lead when working with two multi-genre works is the comparative method, which is based on a simple principle: “What is it like?” As a result, we came to the conclusion that, on the one hand, the use of a methodological method leads to the fact that in the process of text analysis it is necessary to limit the framework to the conventions of the functional style, the genre uniqueness of the analyzed ones, preserving their artistic orientation and the idiostyle of the author. On the other hand, in this way we get the opportunity to carry out parallel search and optimization of data for its synthesis and translation into the exchange part.

Can vocational interests of students be used to recruit suitable candidates for teacher training programmes in technical vocational education and training in Germany?

PurposeIn Germany, various approaches have been taken to tackle the current teacher shortage in technical and vocational education and training (TVET). One attempt to remedy the shortage in Bavaria has been the introduction of an engineering education study programme at universities of applied sciences. Ideal candidates for this programme should have an interest in both engineering and social interaction. For effective recruitment, therefore, it is necessary to know applicants’ characteristics such as their vocational interests. In this study, the vocational interest profiles of students in TVET teacher training programmes were identified and their interest profiles and further characteristics were compared with those of other VET students at universities and universities of applied sciences.Design/methodology/approachAn online questionnaire based on Holland’s interest theory and adapted from the Allgemeiner-Interessen-Struktur-Test-3 (interest structure test) was administered to 85 students in TVET teacher training programmes at universities and universities of applied sciences in Bavaria. Items regarding reasons for choosing a particular study programme, university location and other personal details were added.FindingsThe vocational interest profiles of students at universities and universities of applied sciences can be described as similar but weakly differentiated. Insights are provided by the characteristics of students such as the majority being first-time academics in the family. The reasons for choosing the degree programme and university location highlight the fact that a large proportion of students in engineering education would not have chosen a teaching-related degree programme if it had not been offered at the respective university of applied sciences.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the sample in this study was small and, therefore, limiting, it represented a high proportion of TVET teacher training students in Bavaria and a substantial proportion of first-year students in TVET teacher training programmes at universities and universities of applied sciences in Bavaria (section 2.2 and 3.1). Thus, the findings provide valuable insights into commonalities in interest profiles between engineering education students at universities of applied sciences and other TVET students at universities. With respect to the domain of the chosen vocational specialisation, differentiated profiles emerged that, for example, showed a stronger artistic orientation among students in construction technology/wood. For further analysis, the previous variable-centred orientation of the analysis can be supplemented by person-centred analyses (e.g. cluster analysis and latent variable mixture modelling, LVMM) (cf. Leon et al., 2021).Practical implicationsThe findings in this study reveal the potential for attracting candidates to universities of applied sciences if they prefer to study in rather rural areas close to their hometowns. With the aim to educate prospective teachers for future work not only in metropolitan regions but in rural areas too, offering bachelor degree programmes in rural areas would seem promising. A regional option can boost the recruitment of new students and attract candidates that otherwise would be unable to pursue studies or a career as a teacher in vocational education. The results of this study and those of previous studies suggest that universities of applied sciences can cooperate with universities to help solve the teacher shortage problem.Social implicationsOverall, it is apparent that the students' interests reached comparatively high values in all interest orientations and thus are only weakly differentiated. If undifferentiated profiles indicate low levels of career readiness, this significantly affects the recruitment of young people for the teaching profession. Assessing career orientation and promoting vocational interests should be prioritised during secondary school education. Vocational orientation measures are essential and should provide insight into typical activities of daily work life in different professions and thus pique and foster interests.Originality/valueThis study provides insight into how to respond to the teacher shortage in VET by identifying important characteristics of engineering education students using vocational interest profiling.

Action Research of Critical Reflection Case Study of Soreng Warga Setuju Dance Group

This research was motivated by the need to create a model for handling folk art so that it continues to survive and be sustainable. This research aimed to examine the creative process that underlies their innovation. The Soreng Warga Setuju (SAWS) dance group in a village in Magelang Regency been the object of study. The research questions raised were: 1) what innovations have been applied to the Soreng Dance performance so that it survives until today; 2) what style they applied to their creativity responding the social, cultural and economic situation of today's society. McIntosh's action research scheme becamee a theoretical and methodological framework to analyze the creative process of folk art. This research data needed both visual and aural performances was obtained through direct observation of their performances. Meanwhile, data in the form of statements related to their socio-cultural attitudes was obtained through ethnographic interviews. This research found reflective critical responses in the form of social orientation, artistic orientation, philosophical orientation and instrumentalist orientation. Their creative innovation can be seen in visual-aural and organizational changes. Hermeneutically, old values and beliefs are still reflectively believed by rural communities and even become the basis of their existence socially, culturally and economically.

Alternativeness in the Architectural Design of Bridges and Overpasses

Modern extensive foreign and domestic experience in design and construction of multifunctional overpasses and bridges indicates that they have become an integral part of urbanised systems. They are endowed with the functions of important urban objects, and with their appearance they have won the right to be considered iconic structures. The subject of the article refers to architectural design of bridges and overpasses. The authors set themselves the task of considering the aspects of combining the main functional characteristics with the aesthetic properties of the object, designating visual components of the project and the specifics of alternativeness of design.The objective of the work is to consider alternativeness in architectural design of bridges and overpasses. A complex method, combining an analysis of the historical and modern experience of architectural theory and design practices, was based on technical literary materials. The study resulted in formulating indicators and leading principles of alternative design.The use of alternatives in the process of designing urban bridges and overpasses allows not only to consider functionality and economic feasibility of a particular project and construction of an object, but also its architectural and artistic orientation, aesthetic component, as well as the designer’s worldview and current trends in architecture. In the process of alternative design of bridges and overpasses, it is required to reproduce the overall complete image of the future structure, consider all kinds of details in structures and shape, and various criteria for layout and location in the environment.

Influence of Modern Digital Technologies on Fine Arts

The purpose of the article is to identify the influence of modern digital technologies on the creation of works of fine art. The research methodology is the application of general scientific and special research methods determined by the artistic paradigm. The scientific novelty of the study lies in understanding the specifics of creating works of fine art with the help of modern digital technologies, taking into account their interactivity, network communication, and virtuality. The conducted analysis shows the rapid spread of digital technologies and the expansion of the artistic orientation in the creative activity of artists, which has led to the formation of a new generation of digital art consumers and is one of the important areas of research into the current transformations taking place in the field of culture and art. Conclusions. Digital technologies and fine arts are undoubtedly in constant dynamic development and interaction today, and are actively used by artists in their work. Digital technologies are a means of modelling and demonstrating laws and the basis of artistic, scientific, and technical creativity, which significantly affect the formation of form, ensuring the composition and perception of the work and are one of the means of creating the latest works of fine art. With the help of digital technologies, artists manage to convey more accurately the idea of the work, make it understandable to the maximum number of viewers. Moreover, it is important to note that it is not entirely correct to determine the value of works of fine art created by traditional or digital means. A contemporary artist determines the means of creating the work itself (using the traditional means of pencil and brush, or using a sequence of sticks and zeros), and there is also the possibility of combining traditional art with technological innovations. The author emphasises that artificial intelligence in terms of independent creation of works of fine art today looks too bold and very controversial.
 Key words: fine art, digital technologies, modern art, artificial intelligence.

The Avant-Garde Phenomenon in the Ukrainian Textile Art of the XX Century

The early XX th century is a bright phenomenon in the history of decorative art in Ukraine. This is a period of active cooperation between famous avant-garde artists and folk-art masters. The article examines a unique creative experiment of professional and folk artists implemented in the A. Semigradova`s craft workshops in the village of Skoptsy and N. Davydova`s craft workshops in the village of Verbovka. It was these workshops that had differences in their artistic orientation. The art of the famous folk craftswomen G. Sobachko, P. Vlasenko, G. Tsybulyova, who came from there, is analyzed in the article. The works of the professional artists A. Ekster, K. Malevich, L. Popova, O. Rozanova, N. Genke-Meller also are being studied. The folk craftsmen embroidered artistic works based on their sketches and performed ideas of suprematism in this way. Professional artists paid attention to embroidery as the most expressive type of decorative art. It is indicated that the artistic style of decorative panels, carpets, as well as interior decoration and costume items was a new word in the art and brought Ukrainian embroidery to the highest level of development. Such cooperation contributed to the mutual enrichment of the works of folk-art masters and avant-garde artists. Joint innovative research proves the fact that the Ukrainian embroidery of the early XX century, developed in the context of artistic trends at that time, was a synthesis of decorative and fine arts.

Поиски новых ритмико-звуковых форм русского стихосложения в эпоху модернизма: от предсимволизма к конструктивизму

The paper analyses the theoretical declarations and artistic innovations made by Russian modernist poets who carried out the versification reform at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Metric-rhythmic and phonetic experiments turned out to be a priority for poets, thus, the aim of the study is to comprehend their versification diversity and artistic orientation. The creative search for new verse forms was of an acutely polemic nature, therefore, the scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive consideration of the aesthetic intentions of pre-symbolists, symbolists, acmeists, futurists, imaginists, expressionists, formlibrists, neoclassicists, constructivists. As a result, it becomes obvious that the spread of innovative phonostylistic modifications and the establishment of non-classical metric-rhythmic varieties in the poetry of the Silver Age were aimed not only at creating a new art, but also at forming a new worldview and a new aesthetic consciousness of contemporaries. Actualising the problem of expressive possibilities of literature in the 1880s-1920s led to the revival of the acoustic existence of poetic works – in the struggle for the life-building future of the poetic word, the need for a synthesis of arts that would correlate with the deep processes of synaesthetic perception and creative thinking became more pronounced than ever before.

Traditions in the System of art Education in Iraq

The article presents the results of a study of the system of Iraqi art education by including objectively existing and expedient traditions in it in various historical periods of its development. Attention is drawn to the creative searches of artists in the many art schools that appeared in Iraq at the beginning of the 20th century, whose professional activities reflected the implementation of the ideas of modernity or/and its reconciliation with the cultural heritage of the country. As an example in the field of sculpture, the D. Selim Freedom Monument is given, the embodiment of which was based on the idea of combining the ancient history of Iraq with the modern themes, techniques and methods used in art at that time. The current system of art education in Iraq is presented, the starting point of which is the Academy of Fine Arts, which today acts as the leading educational institution of artistic orientation among those located in cities such as Babylon, Basra, Devaniya, Mosul and other art institutions. We consider art education itself as an educational process that helps young people with different views and beliefs learn to understand the language of art, use existing traditions in their artistic work. In conclusion, it is concluded that the system of art education in Iraq continues to work and develop, taking into account long-standing and newly acquired traditions in various art schools, reflecting the views, beliefs of artists in their work, formed under the influence of history, culture, politics, etc. of their country.

Artistic Orientation, Financial Literacy, Digital Literacy, and MSME Performance

The limitations of research linking artistic orientation with performance motivate researchers to examine artistic orientation in creative MSMEs. Their uniqueness is that they combine art and economics, resulting in original creations and the ability to compete and succeed in the market. To combine these two things, a performance improvement strategy is needed, among others by increasing literacy. This study examines whether managers perform better artistically and whether financial and digital literacy affects performance. This study uses primary data from questionnaires to 344 creative MSMEs in Yogyakarta. Data analysis using Partial Least Square - SEM results show that artistic orientation has a significant effect on non-financial and financial performance. Financial literacy and digital literacy have a significant effect on financial performance.

The Porta speciosa of Esztergom •

This essay was carried out in the framework of a research programme (Thesaurus Mediaevalis, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, 2017–2022) funded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and deals with one of the most complex but hardly accessible works of the Árpád period, the former main portal of the Esztergom Cathedral, which was decorated with sculptures and inlaid marble images. It was built in the last decade of the 12th century under King Béla III (1172–1196) and survived the Turkish invasion, but its remains were destroyed during the 19th century construction works. Since then, it exists only in textual sources, depictions and museum fragments. The present work aims primarily to collect and catalogue the fragments, but also to examine the structure of this work of exceptional quality, the artistic orientation of its workshop and the content of the images. It examines questions such as the history of the construction of the building, the sculptural quality of the fragments, which European art centres are related to them (including, in addition to the dominant role of the centres in northern Italy, the Byzantine influence conveyed by the various forms of transport), the circumstances under which the artists could have arrived in the Kingdom of Hungary, the inspiration for their art, what their knowledge and the needs of their clients reveal, and whether there were any interruptions, changes of plan or new beginnings during the construction.

MULTIPLICITY IN TRANSLATION AS A HERMENEUTIC ISSUE

The article dwells on the study of the hermeneutical problems of the translation multiplicity of the canonical soliloquy by W. Shakespeare "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark". The aim of the study is to highlight the differences in the specifics of translation by Ukrainian translators of the ХІХ-ХХІ centuries (P. Kulish, M. Starytskyi (ХІХ), O. Burhardt (Yu. Klen), H. Kochur (XX), O. Tilna, and Y. Andrukhovych (XXI). The research relevance lies in the search for the best solution of the sense manifestation of the source text in the translation, and consider the interest of scholars in retranslation, within a certain time frame which affect the further translation and literary processes development. The methods imply a literary and hermeneutical analysis, including the time period, and determining the linguistic and pragmatic features of the text. The research performed aims at revealing the stylistic peculiarities of the source text, its semantic load and clarifying the reasons for the retranslations of the text and its reception by the audience. The analysis was conducted on three levels: intonation and rhythmic level (which implies the realization of the variability of verse size in translation), syntactic (use of lexical and grammatical transformations to adequately convey the original content), and lexical-semantic one (aimed at identifying translation transformations, stylistic techniques that contribute to the transmission of the ideological and artistic orientation). The analysis of the retranslations revealed that in addition to decoding the source language and encoding it into the target language, translators had to resort to their own understanding and its potential perception of the text, considering the time relevance of the translation. The study shows that the variation of translation methods can have a different introspective impact on recipients, both due to the different stylistic and semantic load and the temporal correlation of the translated work.

Micro-Festivals on the Fringe: The OFF d’Avignon in 2020

The management of the coronavirus crisis of 2020 required immediate and top-down decisions, which contradicts the bottom-up philosophy of the non-curated Festival OFF d’Avignon. As a consequence, the loose organizational structure risked breaking apart and every theatre director acted autonomously by either cancelling the scheduled programme, creating online alternatives, or organising independent micro-festivals. The events of 2020 demonstrate that the non-curated festival is composed of multiple independent theatres following their own artistic orientation and business model. The OFF d’Avignon is, in fact, a festival of festivals.

What Factors Influence Children's Creative Artistic Orientation? The Novel Children's Creative Orientation Test: Artistic

ABSTRACTCreative orientation is the extent to which different individuals are drawn toward creative activities (e.g., art, music). We know relatively little about child‐level creative orientation given certain testing limitations. Adult tools often measure time spent engaged in creative pursuits, but this method is unsuitable for children because their free time is often dictated by parents. To overcome this, we devised an entirely novel measure of creative orientation, the Children's Creative Orientation Test: Artistic (C‐COT: Artistic). This short task, suitable for children as young as 6, elicits children's creative urges toward artistic pursuits independently of parental influence and provides quantitative scoring. We applied our measure to over 3000 children aged 6–10 years, where it showed robust reliability, suggesting that creative orientation is a stable trait over time. We show that creative orientation is also influenced by classroom cohort, age, and gender but is unaffected by socio‐economic status or seasonal changes (autumn vs. spring testing). We showed too that creative orientation converges with creative thinking (divergent thinking), creative personality (openness to experiences, especially the aesthetics subtrait), and creative engagements in the home. We present our test here in full, as a simple, fast, and robust measure of creative artistic orientation in children.

ЕМОЦІЙНО-ХУДОЖНЄ СЕРЕДОВИЩЕ УНІВЕРСИТЕТСЬКОЇ ОСВІТИ – РЕСУРС ЯКОСТІ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ ПЕДАГОГІВ

This study was conducted to define and outline the main theoretical characteristics of the concepts of "quality of education", "emotional and artistic environment", "professional training of future teachers for successful professional activities in higher education institutions." The authors defined the emotional and artistic environment as: a system of conditions that determine the purpose and objectives, planning, functioning and development of learning, the mechanism of subject-subject interaction, emotional and aesthetic relations in the system "teacher - students", which has a positive impact on the quality of training of future teachers for professional activities. Emotional and artistic environment of the educational process provides the development of personality of the future teacher, his abilities and abilities, individual style and professional position, means, ways of mastering cultural values and interaction to enter the world of spirituality, music, art, creative experience in teaching. activities. The emotional and artistic environment operates with a set of tools by which students evaluate the mechanism of organization and construction of educational activities on the basis of aesthetics, art and science; provide "transfer" of objectively existing values in the field of significant phenomena for future teachers, deepening and expanding existing professional values, intensification of thought processes and reflective position of students. Identified and justified conditions: updating the content of the humanities; emotional and artistic orientation of their content; modeling of event-role situations when the results of the student's activity coincide with his expectations; creating an emotionally favorable climate in the educational process; inclusion of participants in the educational process in various types of artistic and creative activities ensure the productivity of the educational environment in the formation of emotional and artistic image of the future teacher, his readiness for artistic and creative activities through a system of educational and cognitive tasks. cinema, music, which serve as the basis for the visualization of information and the experience of artistic creativity gained by students.

Investigating women entrepreneurs in creative industries: critical determinants for venture performance

The importance of women’s entrepreneurial role has recently emerged in creative industries (CIs) literature because of the recognition of entrepreneurship as a significant tool for improving employability and enforcement of women artists and creatives. CIs provide a domain for women to build and sustain their economic empowerment by developing skills, finding jobs, working flexibly, achieving work-life balance, and generating income. This study seeks to disclose the predicting role of critical factors of entrepreneurship on women’s venture performance in CIs in Maryland. Drawing on the relevant literature, the study examines simultaneously the effect of a bundle of personal and social factors pertinent to women’s entrepreneurial activities in creatives industries using a survey (n = 138) and structural equation modeling as a methodological tool. The results reveal that entrepreneurial and artistic orientation, networking, and creative personality impact statistically significant women’s venture performance in CIs. Mentoring does not exert a statistically significant impact on women’s venture performance in CIs. The study contributes to entrepreneurship research, women entrepreneurs in CIs, and entrepreneurship for community and economic development. Additionally, its practical contribution is related to knowledge enrichment for community organizations, community developers, and decision-makers to support women entrepreneurs’ venture performance in CIs in their communities.

THE POETIC IMAGE OF A WOMAN IN ABAI’S WORKS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH PRE-ABAEV ARTISTIC TRENDS

Analyzing the evolution of artistic views on the image of Kazakh women in national art, we draw attention to the fact that the image of the steppe beauty is recreated in the binary opposition good / bad. Precisely in this way, the female character was stereotypically recreated by the poets of the pre-Abaev era. The character of the heroines is revealed in the female images, born by the pen of Abai, the psychological, emotional state, spirituality are conveyed. The portrait characteristic is remembered. This determines the importance of scientific understanding of how complex and multifaceted the images of women in the lyrics of Abai are. The main purpose of the article is a comprehensive examination of the artistic image of Kazakh women in the poetry of Abai, the identification of their typological features. The author of the article carried out a literary analysis of poems of a moral and psychological orientation in the work of poets, representatives of the author’s literature of the pre-Abaev period, defined artistic and aesthetic criteria and ideological orientation. The author conducts a comparative analysis of Abai’s poetic skill in conveying a female character, reveals and generalizes poetic traditions, reveals the skill of Bukhara, Aktamberdy, Shalgez, Shal akyn and Akan Seri, a prominent representative of sal-seri poetry. Important points in the creation of a gallery of ethically and aesthetically ideal female types, strong in spirit, striving to build their lives in a new way, are highlighted. The poet sings of the harmony of the mind, talent, character, beauty and wealth of the inner world. The new, feminist interpretation of Abay’s poetry, previously referred to as love lyrics, is of particular interest for Abay studies. In accordance with the purpose of the study, a comparative analysis of the poetry of zhyrau and the lyrics of Abai was carried out on the basis of objective-analytical, historical-literary and comparative-typological methods. Abay’s works, glorifying lyrical heroines, are conventionally divided into three groups. The process of transformation of the traditional female image into a deep, multifaceted image of a mother, into a complex, mysterious image of a beloved wife, friend, beautiful girl, muse is revealed. It has been convincingly proven that the poetic skill of Abay, who realistically captured the images of the heroines in their behavior and actions, influenced the poets of the Abay poetic school. The article is of scientific interest for young scientists interested in Abay studies.
