Ancient Greek Myths in Romanian Opera. Pascal Bentoiu’s Jertfirea Ifigeniei [The Sacrifice of Iphigenia

Abstract Romanian composers’ interest in Greek mythology begins with Enescu’s peerless masterpiece – lyrical tragedy Oedipe (1921-1931). The realist-postromantic artistic concept is materialised in the insoluble link between text and music, in the original synthesis of the most expressive compositional means recorded in the tradition of the genre and the openness towards acutely modern elements of musical language. The Romanian opera composed in the knowledge of George Enescu’s score, which premiered in Bucharest in 1958, reflect an additional interest in mythological subject-matter in the poetic form of the ancient tragedies signed by Euripides, Aeschylus and Sophocles. Significant Romanian musical works written in the avant-garde period of 1960 to 1980 – Doru Popovici’s opera Prometeu, Aurel Stroe’s Oedipus at Colonus, Oresteia I – Agamemnon, Oresteia II – The Choephori, Oresteia III – The Eumenides, Pascal Bentoiu’s The Sacrifice of Iphigenia – to which titles of the contemporary art of the stage are added – Cornel Ţăranu’s Oreste & Oedip – propose new philosophical and artistic interpretations of the original myths. At the same time, the mentioned works represent reference points of the multiple and radical transformation of the opera genre in Romanian culture. Emphasising the epic character, a heightened chamber dimension and the alternative extrapolation of the elements in the syncretic complex, developing new modes of performance, of sonic and video transmission – are features of the new style of opera associated to the powerful and simple subject-matter of ancient tragedy. In this sense, radio opera The Sacrifice of Iphigenia (1968) is a significant step in the metamorphosis of the genre, its novel artistic value being confirmed by an important international distinction offered to composer Pascal Bentoiu – Prix Italia of the Italian Radio and Television Broadcasting Company in Rome. The poetic quality of the text quoted from the masterpiece of ancient theatre, Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis, the hymnic-oratory character of the music, the economy and expressive capacity of the compositional means configured in the relationship between voice, organ, percussion, electro-acoustic means – can be associated in interpreting the universal major theme: the necessity of virgin sacrifice in the process of durable construction.

Poetic Feuilletons by P. Ya. Blinovsky in the Newspapers Uralsky Rabochiy and Uralskaya Nov’: Genre and Historical Context

This article considers features of the transformation of the feuilleton genre within post-revolutionary newspaper discourse. The author examines feuilletons by P. Ya. Blinovsky, who gained popularity with the Yekaterinburg press before the Revolution of 1917 and published articles in the newspapers Uralsky Rabochiy , Uralskaya Nov’ and their supplements after the Revolution. The article studies the features underlying the image of the persona of feuilletons, the artistic techniques used by the feuilletonist in his post-revolutionary creative work as compared to his prerevolutionary works. Blinovsky’s creative activity is shown in the context of his biography, for which the author considers archival data: the life and creative path of Blinovsky between 1914 and 1922 which was full of activity both on the personal and creative levels. Blinovsky attempts to return to his reader, but at a new historical stage, choosing a new pseudonym, changing his artistic language. The demand for the practical use of the feuilleton remains unchanged. During the Soviet era, the creative experience of feuilletonists was not studied enough, Blinovsky’s experience as an author of feuilletons in Uralsky Rabochiy was forgotten. Nevertheless, Blinovsky’s poetic feuilletons can serve as an example of the use of pre-revolutionary artistic techniques in the Soviet era. The experience of P. Ya. Blinovsky was rare for the Yekaterinburg press, his poetic texts were in demand both before and after the Revolution of 1917 in newspapers that adhered to various political programmes. At the same time, his poetic feuilletons remained relevant for the contemporaries, while at the same time alleviating the experience of the traumatic transition to a new sociopolitical system. Therefore, the features of adaptation of the artistic language of the feuilleton to the new realities of the Soviet press should be studied in detail.

The transformation of the passionmusic genre as an expression of the vision processes of Arts in the second half of the XX century – the beginning of the XXI century

This article reflects studies of the passion genre in Music Art in the second half of the XX century – the beginning of the XXI century. The European composers from different schools constantly apply to old genre models of the sacred music modifying them in accordance to the contemporary cultural situation. This is a reason why such sacred genres are no more performed in a church, but in concert halls. That made some reasonable changes in its genre model. The goal of the article is to define a specificity of the passionmusic genre transformation based on the analysis of the Sixth symphony by S.Nasidze and the cantata «The History of Doctor Johann Faust» by Alfred Schnittke.The author of the article characterized directions of the contemporary passionmusic interpretations and their genre features. Those are based on one of the Passion Chapters of the four Gospels fulfilled with a free verse. Author’s poetic texts are used as a specific event commentator performing a reflexive function. All events take place in two time zones: real, chronological and astral which is eternal without any chronological features.
 The main music genre features are a big group of performers (chorus, solo, orchestra, organ) and a huge amount of actors. Sacred texts and secular poetry were used as intermezzo. A traditional numeric structure behind a music structure is also applied to oral and opera genres. At the beginning of the XX century, composers took oral passions into account but their followers ruin mentioned genre boundaries. The reason for that is an expression of the new model in the contemporary culture. It leads not only to the blur of boundaries, but to the improvement of the genre-to-genre relations. It results in creating new synthetic passions and wasting their typical features.
 The main features are: 1) Neoclassic identity, that recreates the ancient style; 2) concert instead of liturgical genre scenario which allows composers play with the traditional texts adding different visual effects (music-lights, choreography, costumes, scenario); 3) expanding its geography. Analyzing the complicity of texts by S.Nasidze and A.Schnittke, it’s reasonable to sum up that modern composers interpret the ancient genre model according to new modern traditions. The symphony by S.Nasidze with the subtitle «Passions» is a specific metaphor which makes the audience think in reflexive way. On the contrary, all genre peculiarities of the oral passions in cantata «The History of Doctor Johann Faust» by Alfred Schnittke emphasizes on a redefinition of the medieval warlock image. Having analyzed the mentioned music pieces, we can define two different ways of passionmusic functioning and transforming in the second half of the XX century – the beginning of the XXI century which demonstrate vivid changes in modern sacred music.

The Destabilisation of Realistic Mimesis in Ilija Vukićevićʼs Novels with Elements of the Fantastic

The main subject of this paper is the analysis of the problem of the fantastic in the works of Ilija Vukicevic done on some examples of texts with the elements of fantasy: ”The story of the village Vraci and Sima Stupica”, ”How Nastas nalbantin sought and found happiness”, ”Pixy”, ”The Cursed beauty”, ”Tzar Goran”, ”The fearsome dream”, ”A healing stick”, ”The devil and the Girl”, ”The Heart”.

Wonder Woman: superheroine, not superhero

ABSTRACTThe superhero genre, as the name implies, is a male-focused genre, whose lone ‘redeemer heroes’ enact ‘rites of order’ in which the Other is expelled from contested space and order is restored through externalised action. But William Moulton Marston’s specific vision of a feminist ‘loving authority,’ rooted in feminist utopian novels, created the superheroine, a genre figure incorporating ‘rites of integration’ in which oppositions are reconciled and otherness is integrated and domesticated. Wonder Woman may not have been the first female superhero, but she was the first superheroine – an alternative to the cowboy-derived superhero that offers a different vision of the genre – and though many depictions of Wonder Woman have not lived up to this vision, Marston provided a model other creators have taken up in figures like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Batwoman. The superheroine opens the possibility for an evolution and transformation of the superhero genre and for other genres that convey and perpetuate – and possibly alter – our cultural mythology.

They have a long tradition, on the contrary. Another difference, according to the contemporary times, is genre richness of texts about fashion. Two schemes decided about the form of texts in the past: the genre in the form of collection that was composed of references and collection of genres with the domination of correspondence.
