“SOUVENIR FROM LVIV” BY VIKTOR KAMINSKY AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE AUTHOR’S EMBODIMENT OF THE CONCERT GENRE

This article highlights the distinctive features of Kaminsky's individual style and musical language as realized in his Concerto "Souvenir from Lviv" four piano duet and orchestra, and determines the main interpretive aspects of the piece. "Souvenir from Lviv" exemplifies Kaminsky's ability to merge postmodern eclecticism with neo-romantic emotionality. Kaminsky integrates elements of neo-styles, including neoromanticism and neo-baroque, which add special depth and complexity to his work. These stylistic elements allow the composer to create a rich sound landscape, where traditional forms mix with contemporary harmonies. This highlights the connection between the past and the present, which is typical for Lviv as a city with a rich history. Kaminsky mixes neo-romanticism and modern music to create a special feel of an old city. He stays open to new experiences and emotions, which helps him express the spirit of the time and place through his music. The piece is notable for its instrumentation, featuring two pianos, percussion, and a string orchestra. The four-part structure of the concerto, with programmatic titles such as Aria and Choral, as well as the subtitle a la Partita, allude to the Baroque suite. However, the selected movement order (fast-slow-slow-fast) and the thematic arch between the first movement and the finale suggest the composer’s rethinking of the genre, merging the cyclic suite form with the virtuosity of the concerto. Based on the stylistic approach of Viktor Kaminsky's Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra, we can formulate the performance and interpretive challenges that arise for the solo pianists. The performance and interpretation of a work are influenced by its figurative content and should align with the author's intentions in order to fully reveal the intended meaning.

Carvalho del género negro a la novela gráfica

The first adaptation of the Carvalho series by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán with Tatuaje, La soledad del manager followed and the successful Los mares del Sur. Hernán Migoya as scriptwriter with illustrations by Salvador Seguí transferred the scripts to the comic published by Norma publishing house. In this study this transfer will be analysed as well as the intention of the graphic authors of convert the account of a time turned into a passionate illustration of the History of Barcelona and Spain.

Cross-Dialectal Vocabulary Differences in English: Implications for International Communication and Misunderstanding”

The following piece of research tends to explore the vocabulary differences between British and American English and their implications for international communication. Despite speaking the same language, the two dialects have developed different meanings for some terms, which could cause miscommunication when people from different cultures interact. In this study, the author concentrates on the example vocabularies of “Rubber,” “Pants,” and “Chips” and explains the distinctions between them in British and American English, as well as how these distinctions can lead to misunderstandings in casual speech. By examining the historical and cultural contexts behind these vocabulary variations, the research aims to provide insights into the relevant challenges and misunderstandings that may be caused in international communications. The author intents to contribute to a deeper understanding of how language differences can impact cross-cultural interactions through this research.

Penolong yang Sepadan menurut Kejadian 2:18 terkait Perdebatan Kepemimpinan Wanita dalam Gereja

The text of Genesis 2:18 is one of the passages debated by Complementarians and Egalitarians regarding the role of women as "helpers." Complementarians believe that the role of a helper indicates the functional subordination of women to men. According to them, Adam and Eve are spiritually equal, but Eve is not equal to Adam in function because she is his helper. For this reason, Complementarians refuse to place women in positions of leadership in the church. On the other hand, Egalitarians believe that women should have the same opportunities as men, including in church leadership. This study aims to analyze Genesis 2:18 in relation to the debate on women's leadership in the church. The method used is exegesis, to uncover the meaning according to the original author's intent when the text was written. The results of this study indicate that the helper provided by God is not a subordinate, but a partner. Women were created as partners to help their husbands so that God's mandate could be fulfilled through the unity of the two. This context applies to the household, not the church. Therefore, this role should not be used to prohibit women from teaching and leading in the church.

Taking ‘nonsense’ seriously: Hoaxes, spoofs, and the epistemic cultures of geography

The ‘Grievance Studies Affair’, a deceptive publishing project launched in 2017, offers a revealing lens through which to see beyond simplifying polarizations and establish more constructive relations among geography's wide range of ‘epistemic cultures’. This article places the Grievance Studies Affair in the context of other hoaxes and spoofs and draws upon speech act theory to pin down how such deceptive publications are supposed to work. The core of the argument concerns the epistemological interpretation of instances where writings purported by their authors to be ‘nonsense’ have nevertheless been seen by other scholars – even when it is clear that a hoax or spoof was intended – as sense-bearing, valuable, or potentially fruitful. These instances shed fresh light on two epistemological issues: the role of authorial intention in academic arguments, and how much we really need to know about other epistemic cultures to form serious judgments about them. Attending to these points can enhance the possibility of respectful and constructive conversations between epistemic cultures in geography.

Radio Free Europe’s Polish Broadcasting Service vis-à-vis the Millennium and Church - State Relations (1965-1966)

This article presents an analysis of selected broadcasts by Radio Free Europe’s Polish Broadcasting Service on the 1966 celebration of the Millennium of the Christianisation of Poland, against the background of the relationship between the Church and state. The source material consists of programmes available online on the Radio Liberty website and articles published in the monthly magazine Na Antenie/On Air from 1965 to 1966. The author's intention is to show the role and meaning of radio broadcasts vis-à-vis the Millennium Poloniae celebrations, which were of a religious and political nature. The radio station, under the direction of Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, defended the authority of Primate Stefan Wyszyński against communist propaganda, while serving as the only source of information for audiences in the country with respect to the Novena initiated in 1956, which culminated in the Millennium. Aside from RFE’s political objectives, the broadcasts served to counter the propaganda and the campaign against the Church and to break the media monopoly in the People’s Republic of Poland. Having a formative and integrative character, they also contributed to the preservation of the listeners’ religious identity.

Ранний В.В. Бибихин

The review offers an analysis and evaluation of the collection “Selected Notes of 1965–1989”. In the book we meet not so much diary entries as a collection of multi-genre notes, not united by a common plot or strategy of authorial intention. Due to the fact that V. Bibikhin is a Socratic philosopher, his personal notes are permeated with philosophy: the collection demonstrates that V. Bibikhin’s private life is an underside of his philosophical project, the continuation of philosophizing beyond academic texts. Therefore, the personal writings are, among other things, of research interest. In our assessment, the collection reveals subjects fundamental to Bibikhin’s philosophy, widely known to his readers and often found in the corpus of already published texts: the themes of event, language, childhood, ancient philosophy, intuitive cognition, and other related ones. The fragments of “Selected Notes” considered in the review can easily be compared with quotations from later, more academic works. Therefore, in our opinion, the publication of “Selected Notes” provides an opportunity to trace the genesis of the central themes of V. Bibikhin’s later works, introducing for the first time a conceptual distinction between the thinker’s “early” and “late” works. Thus, V. Bibikhin’s “Separate Notes” represent a rich material with source study, biographical and historical-philosophical potential. All this suggests that further publication of V. Bibikhin’s legacy is absolutely justified and legitimate

Applicable International Standardized Basis in Defining Data for Security Systems Development

Creating an intelligent security environment is one of the main trends in the activity of scientific organizations, where security technologies are a significant part of the product range. Organizations using these technologies, including critical infrastructure with built-in security systems, provide increased operational efficiency, guaranteeing readiness for action in emergency situations. For this purpose, standardized approaches are applied to determine the requirements for the development of security systems, according to the specifics of the organization, ensuring the prevention of any level of potential consequences of possible risk events, both in the structural objects of the organization and for the population in the adjacent territories. The author's intention is through this publication to present his experience in the application of modern standardized approaches ensuring the construction and operation of critical infrastructure security systems developed by scientific organizations in the conditions of key partnerships of the Competence Center.

Vittorio Hösle, Intentionalism, and Understanding Understanding

Abstract Vittorio Hösle’s 2018 book, Kritik der Verstehenden Vernunft: Eine Grundlegung der Geisteswissenschaften (“A Critique of Understanding Reason: The Grounding of the Humanities”) provides an ambitious and systematic treatment of human understanding that is important for legal scholars and others. In it, he addresses questions like the nature of mental acts, how they are expressed and grasped, the complex relationship between authorial intention and understanding, what conditions are necessary for understanding to succeed, and more. His account also touches directly on legal interpretation and speaks to a number of contemporary jurisprudential puzzles. Part I of this essay provides a grand tour of Hösle’s theory of understanding, as well as his specific treatment of law. Understanding, as he defines it, is focused on the attempt to indirectly recreate a past mental act though the medium of author’s physical manifestations of meaning (often language). Yet, given his intentionalism, Hösle’s treatment of legal interpretation lands in a surprising place. Though he continues to insist on the importance of the lawmaker’s original mental acts and the difference between questions of meaning and truth, he also recognizes several reasons why it could be undesirable for legal decisions to be strictly bound by the lawmaker. Part II of this essay turns to how Hösle’s theory might inform current debates about legal interpretation by applying it to three recurring puzzles for intentionalist theories: (1) the problem of the inartful author; (2) whether there is anything interpretation (or understanding) “just is”; and (3) the nature of group intentions. As to the first puzzle, Hösle connects “meaning” with the author’s original mental act(s) even if the attempt to communicate this meaning on a specific occasion misfires. Yet Hösle also grants that, from the reader’s or hearer’s perspective, understanding necessarily relies on currently available evidence. Concerning the second puzzle, Hösle suggests the phenomenon of indirectly attempting to recreate the mental acts of another (i.e., “understanding”) just is something that occurs in the process of legal adjudication, whatever you call it. But it does not follow that adjudication should (or can) always be bound by this understanding. For the third puzzle, the manner in which Hösle conceptualizes group intention and “works” suggests that only openly shared aspects of the lawmaking body’s plan count as part of the group’s intention. For this reason, especially in the context of works accomplished by a group, his intentionalism shares at least initial similarities with public meaning originalism.

An Ideal Marriage: A Study of the Marriage Sermon in the Perspective of Gadamer’s Hermeneutics

This paper aims to find a dynamic relationship between the text and the interpreter in the marriage sermon. This dynamic is explored by utilizing qualitative methods with the Gadamer’s Hermeneutics approach, which focuses on the acceptance of listeners or readers rather than the speaker's intent. There are two parties involved in understanding: the horizon of the text and the horizon of the interpreter. Gadamer's hermeneutics illustrates hermeneutics as a fusion of horizons. Hermeneutics is an attempt to clarify the conditions for understanding to take place. Thus, the meaning of the text is no longer limited to the author's intent but is open to the interpretation of the reader. There is a dynamic relationship between the horizons of the text and the horizons of the interpreter. Brides and families receive marriage advice when arranging paperwork at the Office of Religious Affairs, ordering material from the khatib to be delivered during the marriage sermon, and the atmosphere at the ceremony venue supports understanding the horizon of the text with the horizon of the interpreter. Therefore, the fusion of horizons of the text and the interpreter of the marriage sermon from the perspective of Gadamer's Hermeneutics shows the formation of a prosperous, happy, and noble family, in line with the concepts of sakinah, mawaddah, and warrahmah.

Art, illusion, and recycled images in Johannes Pauli’s anecdotes on painters

This article considers selected book illustrations that were published in the 1530s by Augsburg printer Heinrich Steiner. It compares Steiner’s choice of images for Schimpff und Ernst (1534), a popular anthology of entertaining and serious anecdotes compiled by the Franciscan preacher Johannes Pauli, with woodcuts that Steiner had previously employed in newly translated, moral–philosophical texts by Cicero and Petrarch. Although all three texts problematize the art of painting according to classical and medieval narratives, which urge caution in viewing lifelike images, each proposes diverse solutions for regarding illusionistic works of art. Whereas prior studies focus on the intentions of individual authors, this article highlights the printer–publisher’s agency. One image recycled in disparate works speaks to art’s multifaceted functions for upper-class, lay readers. This article argues that Steiner’s selection of images inserts Pauli’s chapter on artists and illusionistic painting into ongoing debates in Reformation-era Germany about the proper role of images in religious ritual. This cross-reading of image–text pairings in the early 1530s offers insights into the complexity of period attitudes towards visual art, the painter’s profession, and the beholder’s responsibilities.

Nuances da materialidade no livro inaugural de Primitivo Moacyr

“O Ensino Público no Congresso Nacional. Breve Notícia” written by Primitivo Moacyr, and published in 1916 is this paper’s subject. Our work focuses on the perspective of studies of its materiality according to assumptions of book and lecture history referred to by Roger Chartier and Robert Darnton. A comparison between the chronicles published in the newspaper “Jornal do Commercio”, and book’s content was favoured expecting to find a ipsis litteris reproduction. Different amendments were identified as a result of editing process, and others as a result of each plataform used by the author. We concluded besides these changes it is crucial to mention that each plataform requires a distinct way of reading, a diverse audience (implicit reader), and its express author intention to share intellectual practice at that time. Subject analysis presented here intends to contribute to current studies on the intersection of histories of education, book, and press.

Let us play something else: Thoughts on ‘games are different’ and game scholarship in the Trump era

This piece takes its cue from a pair of incidents – a not unfamiliar theme in game studies – relating to game scholarship and its engagement with right-wing politics. In the first case, well-known game scholar Bonnie ‘Bo’ Ruberg called on editors and reviewers to stop insisting that scholars include a reference to a certain online campaign of harassment, doxing and threats of physical violence. In the second case, I had a reviewer insist that I had to include a reference to the ‘Fortnite to alt-right pipeline’ because clearly games were causing alt-right lunacy. To be sure, these both constitute genre criticism – among others – at its most reductive and cynical, deciding what the institutional and audience expectations entail based on an assumption of the industrial ones. Then, biographical criticism and assertions about authorial intent or the necessary ‘touchstones’ began to appear. There seems to be a consistent and persistent insistence that somehow even the best and most accomplished scholars should forget decades of scholarship because ‘games are different’ and this tendency has been conditioned and shaped by reading games through the ‘lens’ of the Trump presidency. This is important because it confirms that essays about games still tend to fit into one of the two boxes Ruberg ticks: game scholars who are not necessarily adept at the specific content area or specialists in a given field who are not really game scholars. It is telling and symptomatic of the centripetal and centrifugal movements in game studies; that is, from within and without. Admittedly, games are different, but not so different that we should forget or ignore decades of scholarship or worse, do not bother to find out if it exists at all. Not only are many of these positions ahistorical – ignoring the fact that, as some much maligned games quite cleverly point out repeatedly within, the same things have been said about the corrupting power of soap operas, romance novels, comic books, wrestling, rap and hip hop, backwards masking in heavy metal and plain old rock ‘n’ roll – the positions are also tacitly or unwittingly ageist, classist and/or occasionally racist, homophobic and transphobic even as the author purports to be concerned with inequitable representations. Moreover, there are peculiarly US American concerns that are transposed onto ostensibly universal ones. These reveal that even the most ‘woke’ of the American left can be a cultural imperialist and that American exceptionalism is inescapable if not ineluctable.

To You From We: An Experimental Essay and Exhibition Addressed to You (the Reader) in Eager Anticipation of Your Response

Abstract This paper is an invitation and a map. It is also an exhibition, and it is a provocation. The reader is directly addressed and invited to be implicated in a “we” that is repeatedly mentioned throughout the essay. In doing so, we might imagine study as something that moves us, transports us, and finds us thinking alongside one another, above, or under some place we may never have thought we would end up. Many things are left unfigured. It was never the author's intent to figure them out, but instead, here, we might try something different, something out of grasp.

Unnatural World—the Study of Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five from the Perspective of Unnatural Narrative

As one of the most outstanding contemporary novelists, Doris Lessing, a famous British female writer, won the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature. Doris Lessing’s new work Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five has been studied at home and abroad mainly in the aspects of feminism and Sufism in the work. Based on the unnatural narrative theory of post-classical narratologists Jan Albert and Brian Richardson, this paper analyzes the unnatural narrative factors in the stories from three aspects: unnatural space, unnatural role and unnatural behavior. The unnatural of the novel is to prove the unnatural nature of the world in the novel from three aspects: impossible story space, story role and characters’ behavior, and analyze the author's intention behind these unnatural factors -- the world is an interconnected whole, and the progress of human civilization requires people of all countries to be open-minded, inclusive, communicate with each other and learn from each other, in order to jointly promote the overall progress and prosperity of world civilization.

Libels, Licenses, Liberties: Conceptualising Freedom of Speech in Colonial and Postcolonial India

ABSTRACT Analysing legal cases involving libel, rioting, sedition, and breaches of the press acts in colonial and postcolonial India, this article emphasises the continued relevance of eighteenth-century common law precedents to the conceptualisation of ‘freedom of expression’. Lawyer Thomas Erskine’s advocacy of liberty of speech in a series of seditious libel trials and Lord Mansfield’s notable commentary in the Shipley (Dean of St. Asaph) case provided a resilient framework for adjudicating the issue until the 1950s. Changes in the Indian political climate, however, prompted varying reassessments of these findings. Prior to 1910, judges and defendants in the trials of Reverend James Long, Kahanji Dharamsingh, and B. G. Tilak mined Erskine’s speeches as a resource that could help them clarify authorial intent, gauge the ‘tendency’ of texts, and specify the constitutional role of the jury. After this period, debates over freedom of expression increasingly centred upon Mansfield’s ruling — popularised by scholar A. V. Dicey — that solely associated liberty of speech with the absence of licenses for publication. Thereafter, critics of the Indian press acts weaponized Mansfield’s ruling to challenge the colonial state’s burgeoning autocracy. By the 1950s, a third shift had occurred as justices and parliamentarians offered contrary interpretations of Dicey’s own analysis in debating the Indian government’s continued reliance on censorship laws.

NOTES BY N. V. GOGOL “TO THE 1ST PART” OF “DEAD SOULS”: PROBLEMS OF POETICS AND TEXTUAL CRITICISM

The main problem solved in the article was the issue of dating Gogol’s rough sketches with the author’s “working” title “To the 1st part.” For almost a hundred years, it was generally accepted that these sketches, related to the first volume of Dead Souls, were written after the publication of this volume in 1842. The arbitrary dating of the notes “To the 1st part” to 1845–1846 is refuted by numerous facts indicating that the images and motifs of the notes were “interspersed” by Gogol into the overall fabric of the poem. These references were first pointed out in 1987 by V. A. Voropaev, who dated the sketches to 1839–1840. New observations were added to the textual observations made by the researcher, allowing one to trace the evolution of the text. The author's intention, as it appears in the sketches, is also analyzed along with the means by which it is realized in the poem. The combined data of textual criticism and poetics make it possible to clarify the dating of the notes, attributing them to the first months of 1841. The notes contain the author’s plan to express a broad educational meaning in the “gossip” and “idleness” of the city of N. in the first volume of the poem, endowing this the representation with an expression of a general “idleness” of the world. To realize this plan, Gogol planned to bring up several analogies to the “idle” life of “dead souls” in the poem, i.e., “to include all the similarities and introduce a gradual progression.” In the final text of the poem, such “similarities” were typologically “related” to gossip: fortune-telling “scientific reasoning”, predictions of false prophets and pseudo-spiritual literature. According to Gogol, all of them, taken in their totality, explain the numerous misconceptions of mankind in world history — following the “swamp lights”, “roads that lead far to the side.” Rumors about the Antichrist arising in the “emptiness” of the city suggest that in the final chapters of the first volume the writer depicts, as earlier in “The Government Inspector,” the pre-apocalyptic state of society, the approach of the last times — which for some, in fact, become the “last hour” (the death of the prosecutor).

Author and narrator in fanfiction community texts (a study of fanfics based on literary classics)

Recent research on Russian-language fanfiction has focused on analyzing the fanfic text itself, exploring its structural, stylistic, and artistic aspects. While the role of the author in the fanfiction community has always been crucial, the current research emphasizes a more comprehensive investigation of the sociological dimension of authorship rather than its literary aspects. The unique communication style prevalent in the fanfiction community challenges the traditional model of author-reader relations, leading to a shift in the dynamics of interaction between ficwriters and ficreaders. This change creates a noticeable gap in the academic understanding of the different forms of authorship in fanfiction. To maintain a meaningful author–reader–original text dialogue, ficwriters introduce a specific narrator persona. Our study, which examines narrators in fanfics based on Russian classical literature through comparative analysis with metatextual information and insights from in-depth interviews, concludes that the narrator possesses both obligatory and optional features. These features enable the narrator to act as an intratextual mediator in the ongoing dialogue between the author and the reader. The narrator seamlessly integrates into the fictional world as a character while conveying the author’s perspective outside the text. This role significantly differs from the conventional concept of a “raisonneur.” The analysis of the narrative structure reveals that the narrator in fanfiction serves as an artistic projection of the fanfic author, blurring the lines between biographical and artistic authorship for both readers and the author. The narrator actively contributes to the storytelling process, providing synchronous commentary on their own work and exercising control over the characters. This aligns with the authorial intention in fanfiction, where the author initiates a dialogue between readers and the classic source text, both “from inside” and “outside” the text through creative interpretation.

SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM OF PRZEMYSLAW LIS-MARKIEWICZ’S NOVELS

The work outlines the artistic space-time as an author's model of the world, its main features and functioning in the works of the contemporary Polish writer Przemysław Lis‑Markiewicz. The paradigm of space-time discourse is studied on the basis of the novels "Confession of the Spirit" and "Moskal". The article indicates that the plot of novels by Przemysław Lis‑Markiewicz, which also depict Ukrainian history, unfolds in a linear perspective, each chapter is marked with dates according to the calendar time. The works synthesize calendar, event and perceptual time. The spatial picture of the works is built on open and closed models of the world, macro- and microcosm. The study of the implementation specifics for the concepts of time and space made it possible to point out the relationship between the historical / character chronotope, the role of retrospection and prospection in the novels of the Polish artist. The chronotope of novels is determined by the narrative strategy, the author's intention, and the genre structure. "Confession of the Spirit" is perceived as the author's attempt to understand the formation of personality in the complex period of social and political events of the late 19th – 20th centuries and is defined as a novel-biography. The novel "Moskal" is considered as a synthesis of documentary and psychological, which testified the author's attention to social and political, spiritual problems of a person in a border situation, a historical and political novel. The article traces peculiarities of the artistic interpretation of Ukrainian geographical and cultural spaces, realized in artistic works. The space-time in the author's novels reflects the essence of the spiritual and material world of the inhabitants of the Ukrainian-Polish border, acts as a marker of the identity of the inhabitants of the region, which appears as a certain palimpsest construction, signifying the memory of Ukrainians and Poles, their narratives. In his novels, Przemysław Lis-Markiewicz unfolds the space of Ukraine in the days of wars or political vicissitudes, emphasizing the tragic pages of history.
