Linguistic Personality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Character Nebula: Narrative and LIWC Analyses

Blockbuster films intended for an international audience often depict universally recognisable psychological motivations and limitations, presenting characters whose verbal expressions create distinct psychological impressions. This paper focused on the relationship between language use, including narratives and psychological categories of words, and the psychological traits of cinematic personalities. The study aimed to investigate how a character's language usage exposed their personality, psychological attributes, and transformations throughout their story arc and archetype. To achieve this, in the research a connection between Maslow's hierarchy of human needs, Jung's concept of archetypes, and Schmidt's typology of master characters in fiction was drawn, which expanded the understanding of the heroine Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy verbal behavior. The research further defined the character's psychological image and arc by analysing their speech patterns. It identified the character's archetypes, namely the Backstabber and the Father's Daughter, and explored the progression between these archetypes. Additionally, the article employed the narrative analysis to construct the character's story. The narrative analysis was concluded with the implementation of the LIWC-22 psycholinguistic analysis in order to validate the findings derived from the psycholinguistics and cinematic studies. This method allowed for a comprehensive examination of the language used by cinematic characters, providing insights into their psychological traits and development. Ultimately, this research has contributed to the comprehension of how people's psychological characteristics are depicted and communicated through language in mass cinematography.

The genre of the holiday story in the literature of the XXI century for children and teenagers

The article explores the genre features of a vacation literature about a children's health camp of the late XX – early XXI centuries. Both the traditions of the story about the pioneer camp of the twentieth century and the original features of modern literature for children and adolescents are revealed. The article actualizes the topics of the relationship between adolescents and children in a new team, the problems of growing up and socialization. A fairly extensive typology of child and adolescent characters relevant to modern reality is presented. The significance and importance of this article is due to the importance of the problems posed, as well as modern and practically unexplored research material, which are the works of V. Krapivin, T. Kryukova, M. Panteleeva, T. Mikheeva, etc., which are only included in scientific circulation. To understand these aspects, the following research methods are used in the article: comparative, hermeneutical and comparative typological methods. With the help of a systematic approach, an analytical study of the ways of communication between children and adolescents, their socialization and self-realization in a vacation story is provided. The main result of this work is the study of different types of characters of children and adults, ways of their interaction and ways of self-realization. The study of practically new and little-studied artistic material that arouses genuine interest among teenagers themselves becomes relevant in this article. At the same time, the following tasks were solved: identifying key aspects of growing up and socialization of a child / teenager; analyzing the relationships of children in the novels of V. Krapivin, T. Kryukova, M. Panteleeva, T. Mikheeva and other writers; determining the features of the development of the main storylines and the imaginative system of the analyzed stories, as well as the genre originality of the works under study. The key aspects of the article were questions about the genre nature of the stories, the typology of child and adolescent characters, and the moral aspects of growing up a child.

Anthropological function of the chronotope in the plot of the “Russian Robinsons”

The anthropological approach to a work of art is a current trend in literary criticism. Man is the subject and object of artistic anthropology. Using the traditional literary concept of chronotope, this article attempts to explain the place of a person in the picture of the world of a work of art. The work pays special attention to the category of chronotope, in particular to its anthropological function. The anthropological function of the chronotope is analysed in the novel “Beruny” (1933) by Zinoviy Samoylovich Davydov. When creating his original work, the author was inspired by the story about the six-year wintering of Russian sailors on Edge Island in the 40s of the XVIII century, which was beloved by the Russian reader. The main research methods are: chronotopic text analysis, proposed by V.V. Savelyeva, A.F. Kofman, N.K. Shutaya, E.A. Komarova, A.B. Temirbolat, et al. and cultural-historical analysis. Z. Davydov's narration forms the national features of the collective image of the “Russian Robinsons”. The specificity is conveyed in the author's descriptions of the heroes' perception of space and time. The literary achievements of Z. Davydov are analyzed through the prism of two particularly important elements of any literary text - the chronotope and the image of the hero. The chronotope determines the personal qualities and thoughts, behavior and deeds of the “Russian Robinsons”. The purpose of the study is to establish the relationship between a certain chronotope and the characters' cognitive reaction to the author's indications of the coordinates of space and time, to trace the textual manifestations of the characters' inner experiences. The constructs of time and space in the novel by Z. Davydov are analyzed, and a typology of characters in his story about the disasters of the “Russian Robinsons” is built. As a result, a typology of behavioral models of “Russian Robinsons” in liminal conditions was compiled.

Female characters in Hanna Barvinok’s prose: a system of spiritual values

In contemporary literary studies, the problems of studying the typology of characters are becoming more and more relevant. These characters demonstrate national priorities in mentality, habits and beliefs that have been inherent in the Ukrainian nation for centuries, transforming into original examples of integrity and the ability to resist external and internal circumstances. They serve as a guideline for Ukrainians who find themselves in difficult life situations today and are looking for a way out.The creativity of Hanna Barvinok is an interesting example for analyzing and understanding of the typological picture of characterology in Ukrainian women’s prose of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The writer started the theme of a woman with a strong moral core in literature. The author demonstrates her mastery of characterization by offering a variety of situations in which her heroines find themselves: from the problems of ordinary everyday life in a respectful family, to scenes where a woman finds herself the victim of a tyrant husband, a woman as a single mother (pokrytka), a lonely woman experiencing emotional drama, to a woman as an artist, and a woman as a fighter who, contrary to social norms, achieves recognition due to her determination and active vitality. Hanna Barvinok’s woman does not remain inert, her character and actions are determined by the logic of the «philosophy of the heart», which was widespread in the philosophical and literary thought of this era. It originates from the Bible, the works of Hryhorii Skovoroda, Panteleimon Kulish, and Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko. The idea of victory is heard where there is harmony, love, and respect, where God is. Christian morality and humility become decisive for the actions of the heroines who find themselves in a crisis situation.The problem of studying the Ukrainian mentality, the Ukrainian soul, has become widespread in the works of philosophers, psychologists, and cultural scientists who find explanations for specific actions of people in different historical epochs. The works of Viktoriia Khramova, Oksana Kis, and Iryna Kryvonos contributed to a better understanding of the actions and characters of the heroines in Hanna Barvinok’s prose.

Envisioning the Future, Revisioning the Past: Wayang and Topeng as (Re)Sources

Indonesia has a rich array of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) forms on which artists can draw to create new forms and variations. Among these, two of them are the sibling arts of wayang puppetry and topeng mask dance which show significant overlap in character typology, repertoire and other features. Outsiders often focus on narrative content and surmise these forms – first documented in the Hindu-Buddhist period (around the ninth century), are merely Indian materials in the Indonesian dress. However, anyone who has studied the wayang/topeng complex, knows that Indian practices, especially as we see them today, only partly inform these arts. Understanding the macrocosm via the microcosm of art is a core point of wayang/topeng. The numerology of Muslim esoteric ideas is also deeply embedded. Indigenous ideas of personhood and intergenerational links are inherent. The wayang/topeng tradition compresses cosmic conceptions into performance’s limited space-time continuum. Masking/puppetry has many layers from indigenous to internationally linked concepts, and the art has been elaborated on by thinkers of the Indonesian cultural heritage for at least a 1000 years. How and why should new generations of artist-makers keep these concepts alive as they experiment with new media and respond to changing times? What elements of design, what histories, and what ideas inform these arts and artifacts? What can be gained by using cultural heritage through the arts to envision and respond to the future?

ГЕРОЙ-ПРОСВЕТИТЕЛЬ И МЕНЯЮЩИЕСЯ МОДЕЛИ ПЕРЕДАЧИ ЗНАНИЯ В СОВЕТСКОЙ ДЕТСКОЙ НОНФИКШЕН-ЛИТЕРАТУРЕ 1920-Х ГОДОВ

This article examines the texts of children’s popular science literature, actively published in the first decades of the Soviet Union, the structure of which includes educational plots — situations of teaching, instruction, transfer of knowledge from one character to another. The image of an educator character with expert knowledge is highlighted, and a typology of such characters by age and source of expertise is proposed. The “young educator” is defined as a representative of the new Soviet society with a scientific consciousness, the source of expertise of which is study, and the “old educator” is defined as a person who is experienced rather than educated. The audience of educators can be represented by children and adults separately, or be mixed. Its differentiating characteristics are also determined by age: children are described through emphasizing their curiosity and receptivity to new knowledge, and adults, on the contrary, through resistance to enlightenment. It is shown that educational intentions can come from both an adult educator addressed to a children’s audience, and from a young educator addressed to an older audience. The relationship between the educator and the enlightened in a parent/child pair and in an uncle/nephew pair is also examined; it is revealed that the second type is portrayed in the literature as a more successful educational tandem due to the absence of subordination relations. The relationship between an adult and a child is conceptualized through the prism of the theory of cultural exchange and the theory of child agency. The significance of the role of the educator in a changing social context and the role of the agentic child, who is instructed not only to become an enlightened and active person of a new type, but also to engage in education in his immediate environment, is summarized.

Surse ale melancoliei în cinema. Trăsături ale bovarismului în filmul Scurta întâlnire de David Lean

The process of identifying sources and representations of melancholy in cinema implies exploring character typologies that present aspects or even clear symptoms of what is currently termed as melancholic depression or major depression disorder. David Lean’s Brief Encounter (1945), an adaptation of Noël Coward’s short play Still Life (1936), presents female melancholy as an inherent symptom of the bovaryc character. This paper analyzes aspects of melancholy studying the case of Lean’s main character, Laura, and relating it to the features of bovarysm, as theorized and exhaustively explored by French philosopher Jules de Gaultier in the essay Le Bovarysme (1892). To what extent is melancholy an inherent symptom of the bovaric character? While exploring the ongoing psychological research on melancholy and depression, we find it difficult to determine whether the character suffers from major depression disorder, as it is impossible to ascertain the specific cause of their symptoms, especially if they relate to internal, neurobiological systems. The apparent cause of their unhappiness seems to be the result of their perception of romantic relationships and their surrounding reality that does not reflect this distortion. Consequently, the analysis mainly focuses on the detectable elements and activators of the protagonist’s melancholic disposition.

Perceived authenticity of virtual characters makes the difference

Conventionally, human-controlled and machine-controlled virtual characters are studied separately under different theoretical frameworks based on the ontological nature of the particular virtual character. However, in recent years, the technological advancement has made the boundaries between human and machine agency increasingly blurred. This manuscript proposes a theoretical framework that can explain how various virtual characters, regardless of their ontological agency, can be treated as unique social actors with a focus on perceived authenticity. Specifically, drawing on the authenticity model in computer-mediated communication proposed by Lee (2020) and a typology of virtual characters, a multi-layered perceived authenticity model is proposed to demonstrate how virtual characters do not have to be perceived as humans and yet can be perceived as authentic to their human interactants.

TYPOLOGY OF FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE NOVELS OF WESTERN ARMENIAN FEMALE AUTHORS

The aim of the research is to explore the typology of female characters in the works of female writers Srbuhi Tyusab, Sipil and Zapel Yesayan in the context of social transformations in the Ottoman Empire of the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. A comparative analysis of female characters in the novels Mayta (1881), Siranush (1884), Araksia or the Governess (1887) by Tyusab, A Girl’s Heart (1895) by Sipil, and Gardens of Silihtar (1935) by Zapel Yesayan has been attempted from the perspectives of literary and sociological studies. The data are analysed with the application of the graph-based semantic representation method. The actuality of the research lies in its interdisciplinarity, according to which mutual connections are created between literary studies, sociology and computer science. The selection of these works as research data is accounted for by their volume, variety of characters, simplicity of plots and little branching. All the main characters in all the novels are females. All the novels were written around the same time period (the 1880s-1900s) and bear characteristics of a romantic novel, except Zapel Yesayan’s autobiographical novel Gardens of Silihtar written in 1935. Despite the year the novel was written, in it Yesayan describes the same period (the end of the 19th century) reflected in Tyusab’s and Sipil’s novels.

Marilyn Monroe’s On-screen Spectrum of Femininity: Types and Nature of Her Movie Characters

The article makes an attempt to create a typology of movie characters played by Marilyn Monroe. Her film roles are classic examples of typecasting. Since Monroe was a type of a sexy blonde, that was what she played in her movies. Whether it was a comedy or drama, her sexiness defined the entire character. However, the attributes of the sex bomb Marilyn combined with other features: of an innocent child, a lost and helpless girl, a sensitive and tender woman. These three types of characters: a child-woman, a female buddy, and a woman-partner, make up the full picture of Monroe’s femininity with which viewers interact during the cinematic mystery and which create an artistic, social and cultural phenomenon called ‘Marilyn Monroe.’

About the Psychological Mechanisms that Create a Person's Character

The subject of the study is the psychological mechanisms that produce a person's character. The classical ideas of character, reflected in its modern definitions and interpretations, are considered. The concepts of "intention" and "attitude" are compared. On this basis, the traditional understanding of character as an expression of the system of human relations to people, objects, etc. is transformed into considering it as an intentional "relief" of the subject. The psychological content of the relationship as a substitute for action (activity) is analyzed. The connection of character with the structure of human activity is substantiated. The idea of the imitation-activity nature of character is put forward. Based on the consideration of the types of intentions and relationships, an attempt is made to develop a basic typology of character. Examples illustrating the imitation-activity nature of character types are given. The advantage of the presented concept of the psychological nature of character is that, unlike existing approaches to character (character as accentuation, social character according to E. Fromm, etc.), it allows you to combine a descriptive approach to character with the possibility of analyzing its internal psychological mechanisms. In addition, since the structure of activity (means, function, etc.) correlates with the fundamental composition of these mechanisms, then our typology of characters is not one of the possible ones, but, as we believe, reflects the basic types of character.

ФИЗИОЛОГИЯ В ЭСТЕТИКЕ И ПОЭТИКЕ: ТЕЛО VS ДИСКУРС

Physiology in the article is understood in the anthropocentric sense of the concept. The article is based on the material of different stages of the evolution of Russian and foreign literature. Several types of interaction between the discourse of physiology and artistic discourse are considered: humoral, sensory-affective, metonymic, naturalistic, post-symbolist. The subjects of analysis include various receptive and creative aspects of “physiological aesthetics” and the role of physiological motives and metaphors in poetry and in the typology of characters. Deviation from the physiological norm has been the most important element of depiction of physiology since antiquity and it is especially important in naturalism and the avant-garde.

Жінка-персонаж і жінка-автор в античній літературі: спроба типології

The article proposes a typology of female characters of ancient literature. The typology is based on the dominant categories of «moral» (expressed by the dichotomy of «moral – immoral»), «heroic» («achievement – offence») and «aesthetic» («beautiful – ugly»). Through the prism of mythology, the semantics of the figurative gallery «woman-character» and «woman-author» reflects the specifics of the position of women in the ancient world. Misogyny is typical for the male world of antiquity. This determined the emphasis in the interpretation of women's masks, which were mainly given the role of the object of erotic posing. This, however, does not diminish the reception potential of female images of ancient origin in the subsequent world literary discourse.

What About Realism? Alberto Blest Gana, Georg Lukács, and Their Chilean Readers

Abstract In this article, I analyse Georg Lukács’s theories of realism in relation to Alberto Blest Gana’s work. For this purpose, I explore two essays that have greatly contributed to locating the Chilean author’s novels within the realm of literary realism. The texts chosen for my study are Jaime Concha’s prologue to the Martín Rivas edition by the Ayacucho Library and Ricardo A. Latcham’s essay “Blest Gana y la novela realista” [Blest Gana and the Realist Novel]. Concha and Latcham find appropriate categories for the interpretation of Blest Gana’s work in Lukács’s essays. In their readings, they accurately apply notions such as the selective principle or the typology of characters. However, while using those insights as a shared critical platform, they arrive at different interpretations of what is meant by realism. The article elucidates the role played by Concha and Latcham in the Chilean intellectual field and shows how literary genealogies inform their critical projects.

„Kopciuszek”, „Amant”, „Brzydkie kaczątko”. Reprezentacje płci w telenowelach latynoskich

„Cinderella", „The Cupid", „The Ugly Ducking". Gender Representations in Latin American Telenovelas The aim of the article is to present typical representations of women and men in Latin American telenovelas, shaped on the basis of images of femininity and masculinity in the local culture. A standard scheme of a poor woman and a wealthy man is presented, with strongly exposed ideological elements of marianismo, machismo and malinchismo. A typology of characters has been proposed in relation to the character and conduct of the screen characters. The female characters discussed are: „Cinderella”, „The Ugly Duckling”, and in the male case, „The Amant”. This categorization is subjective in nature, and its purpose is to draw the reader’s attention to the way in which female and male role models and their attributes have been culturally represented in the twenty years, 1997–2017.

REPRESENTING THE CONCEPT OF “SOCIETY” IN THE RUSSIAN GENRE PAINTING OF THE 1860-1870S

The aim of the study is to reveal the ways of representing the concept of “society” in the works of the genre art in the Russian painting of the 1860-1870s. The research is carried out using the method of philosophical and art history analysis of works of fine art. The main object of the study is the painting “Rural procession on Easter” by Vasiliy G. Perov. The study describes the specific features of the genre art in the Russian painting of the 19th century. The research shows how works of the genre art realize their didactive and educating functions. A theoretical analysis of the concepts of “everyday life”, “being”, “society” made it possible to conclude how genre painting of the 19th century models both an ideal person who is in co-existence with the absolute spirit, and a person who is far from the ideal. In the research the authors reveal two worldview models that developed in Russian painting in the 1860-1870s: a model of a perfect human being and a model of a person who is mired in everyday life. The study proves that the latter human model is represented in index signs of characters that worship only material values. The study investigates the versatility of the pictorial model of the Russian society, represented not only as a community absorbed in the routine of the everyday life, but also as a group of people whose life is elevated upwards to the true existence. The research has resulted in the typology of characters of paintings of the genre art, where the type of the character depends on the model of the society represented by the work of art. In its conclusion the study discloses two models of representing the society in Russian painting of the genre art in the 19th century. According to the first model, the everyday principle acts as an absorber of being. The second model represents a society in which everyday life manifests true existence, in harmony with nature and filled with the divine essence.
