Notes on Voice and Tempo in Anglophone Caribbean Literatures

This article outlines a historic panorama of the dynamic relationship between written and oral forms of expression in the Anglophone Caribbean, focusing on key literary works of poetry, the novel, and theater, as well as musical genres like calypso and reggae. The aim is to identify trends, and the relationships between them, that expand beyond territorial and temporal limits, in order to better understand how the scribal and oral spheres have interacted under the pressures of colonialism and its residual effects. The article begins with a contextualization of the vernacular’s place in literary works in the Anglophone Caribbean during the colonial period and discusses several concepts that have been key in debates on language as a form of cultural resistance. The second section focuses on the growing anticolonial sentiment that began to sweep through the region in the 1930s and the literary, intellectual, and musical developments that sought to articulate these political inclinations. The third and final section examines reggae aesthetics as a driving force of cultural expression since the 1970s, considering the influence of Rastafarianism and reggae’s impact on various forms of literary production.

40 tahun Kitab Hukum Kanonik Gereja Katolik Latin (1983-2023). Historisitas – Amandemen – Analisis

The actual CIC of the Latin Catholic Church is 40 years old this year since it was first promulgated by Pope John Paul II on January 25, 1983. In its journey as universal law of the Latin Catholic Church, during three pontificates, all Popes have made amendments to it. This study intends to canonically analyze any juridical modifications or amendments sought by the Church Legislator regarding certain themes in the Codex. To get a more holistic context, as in the sub-title, the historical panorama of the birth of the ecclesiastical juridical system will first be synthesized. Then, all the modifications to universal law over the past 40 years, whether promulgated through Apostolic Letters in the form of motu proprio or in Apostolic Constitutions, will be presented. The purpose of this paper is to find the spirit and orientation behind the “revitalization” of the canonical norms in question, which must be in line with the ultimate goal of Church Law, namely the realization of the “salvation of the souls”.

Multiethnic Slavery and the African Diaspora in Macau: The Search for the Geographic Limits of Vast Early America

Abstract: The geographic limits of early American history are continuously being debated. Recently, this has culminated in the popular adoption of the expression "vast early America," which looks beyond the previously dominant Atlantic paradigm to embrace hemispheric perspectives while underlining the need to delve more into continental Africa, the Mediterranean, Eurasia, and the Pacific and Indian Ocean worlds. But what are the limits of this widening historical panorama in the case of the history of slavery? A hitherto-unstudied set of mid-eighteenth-century baptismal records from the Portuguese enclave of Macau, which noted the birth, ethnicity, and parentage of dozens of African and other enslaved people, offers evidence that the transatlantic slave trade was part of a larger trade in people of African descent (and others) that was geographically uneven and regionally segmented but global in extent, reaching as far as China. Placing this unique new dataset within the context of other contemporary Portuguese- and Chinese-language sources reveals that the presence of "Black slaves" (黑 奴, heinu ) in this port city was shaped by many of the same imperial and missionary projects as in the Atlantic, as well as racialized in ways highly reminiscent of the Western Hemisphere by both European and Chinese observers. The increasingly racialized slave trade of vast early America was thus horrifyingly "vast."

Dancing the New Realities: The Beauty and a Beast of the War

This essay is a record of the experience of the ongoing war in Ukraine, presented from the perspective of the contemporary dance artist Anton Ovchinnikov. Captured almost in statu nascendi, his moral dilemmas and difficult choices—personal and artistic—constitute a kind of a war diary, a record of a moment in history. The author also asks important questions about artistic responsibility, whose relevance resounds ever more strongly in the face of the continuing conflict. Joanna Szymajda’s introduction offers a historical panorama of artistic phenomena and attitudes in response to the state of war. The author focuses on 20th- and 21st-century artists, showing the variety of formats and aesthetics in the works of such major figures as Martha Graham, José Limón, John Cranko, and Rami Be’er, among others.

Unveiling Motivations: Military Women's Incorporation into the Brazilian Armed Forces

Abstract This article offers a meticulous examination of the underlying incentives that led to the integration of women into the Brazilian Armed Forces. Employing content analysis and discourse analysis, the present study investigates a range of legal landmarks, legislative propositions, presidential communiqués, and parliamentary transcripts spanning the time spectrum from 1930 to 2020. In doing so, it constructs a historical panorama that elucidates the multifaceted and sometimes incongruous trajectory of the incorporation of military women into the fabric of the Brazilian military institution. The discerned results of this investigation conclude that a confluence of factors drove the inclusion of women in the military ranks. These factors include the need for a greater workforce, alignment with international conventions, and the projection of a modern symbol of the Armed Forces in the domestic environment—while gender parity remained a secondary objective.

О состоянии грамотности в Калмыцком ханстве в XVIII в.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is still an opinion, at least among the masses, that in pre-revolutionary times literacy was poorly developed among the Kalmyks. It was believed that representatives of the clergy and noble classes ― Noyons and Zaisangs — were literate. The clergy accounted for the largest percentage of literates, which was due to their type of activity. Nevertheless, there was an opinion that even among them the bulk was mired in drunkenness and deception of the ignorant masses of the people. The purpose of the proposed work is, as far as possible, to answer some of the above questions, although the study and coverage of the content of the problem as a whole is not a matter of one article. Materials and methods. To solve these problems, archival material, which is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, is mainly involved. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to approach the resolution of certain emerging problems, abandoning the recent habit of approaching the analysis of a diverse historical panorama with a single pre-regulating theoretical attitude. Descriptive, historical-comparative, historical-genetic and analytical methods were used in the study. Results. In Kalmyk society, representatives of the Noyono-Zaisang environment were primarily literate. The Noyons were almost all literate, including their wives. The Zaisangs had a fairly high literacy rate; there were also women among the literate, but their number was small. There are no specific data on commoners, but it can be assumed that the number of literate among them was small. In the XVIII century. literacy education in general in the Kalmyk Khanate went in two directions. Russian Russian was taught to the representatives of the Kalmyks, and the Russians — Kalmyk. This training was initiated by the Russian government (translators, interpreters, etc. were needed) and spontaneously, in the process of everyday communication between representatives of neighboring peoples.

UKRAINIAN POSTCOLONIAL NOVEL AS A NATIONAL NARRATIVE: “THE MUSEUM OF ABANDONED SECRETS” BY O. ZABUZHKO AND “THE BEECH LAND” BY M. MATIOS

The article examines the seminal novels of Ukrainian women writers from the first and second decades of the 21st century, namely “The Museum of Abandoned Secrets” (“Музей покинутих секретів”, 2009) by O. Zabuzhko and “The Beech Land” (“Букова земля”, 2019) by M. Matios. The selected works are analyzed through the lens of postcolonial criticism, that is, from the point of view of the historical experience of the statelessness of the Ukrainian community and its reflection in literary texts. The main attention is paid to the narrative features of the works, namely the tendency to broad narrative, integrity, and narrative completeness. The purpose of the study is to highlight the postcolonial content of the narrative strategies implemented in the selected novels by O. Zabuzhko and M. Matios. Given that “The Museum of Abandoned Secrets” and “The Beech Land” represent different periods and ideological and aesthetic paradigms, namely postmodernism and metamodernism, one of the tasks of the study is to assert the relevance of postcolonialism in the context of metamodernism. The article aims to highlight the peculiarities of the artistic realization of “postcolonial” narrativity in postmodern and metamodern texts. Additionally, the narrative features of the selected novels are compared. The stated purpose necessitates the application of hermeneutic (interpretation of a literary text), comparative (identification of common and distinctive features of the selected works) methods, as well as the method of structural analysis (examining the narrative structure of the texts). As a result of the study, it is established that postcolonialism, inherent in Ukrainian postmodern prose, remains relevant in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The postcolonial orientation of the novels “The Museum of Abandoned Secrets” and “The Beech Land” is manifested in their intention to affirm the continuity of Ukrainian history by building a panoramic narrative that covers different historical periods and establishes a hereditary connection between them. The study identified the following features common to both novels: the intertwining of family genealogy with national history; the development of narratives at different generational levels – children, parents, grandparents, etc.; the theme of the perpetual war for independence that continues to this day; the image of God as a transcendent guardian of history, capable of seeing the intertwining of human destinies in their entirety. The defining theme shared by both novels is the anti-colonial struggle, particularly the military campaign of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. This theme necessitates depicting the tragic consequences of imperial oppression. In “The Beech Land”, these are devastation and turmoil, fratricide, ruptured familial ties, the destruction of the Bukovynian “utopia”. In “The Museum of Abandoned Secrets”, these repercussions are shown through the lens of postmodern hypertextuality – as “burnt manuscripts”, irretrievably lost archives, fragmented stories. In addition, the selected novels exhibit an inclination to transcend the boundaries of realistic storytelling. Employing the montage technique, “The Museum of Abandoned Secrets” incorporates a mystical discourse of dreams that operates as a parallel reality, recounting events of the past. The oneiric discourse resonates with the image of an endless virtual archive storing memories of everything that has ever happened in the world. In “The Beech Land”, the departure from realistic historiography occurs through metamodern fantastisation, where the historical panorama is framed by the story of the “Heavenly Chancellery” – a celestial archive inhabited by the Creator and the Angels. The appeal to mystical and imaginative discourses is interpreted as a manifestation of postcolonial longing for lost integrity and completeness. The images of endless imaginary repositories of information complement the incompleteness of history, aiding in overcoming its fragmentary nature and opacity.

Osmanlı Döneminde Giyim, Tekstil, Kumaş ve Motiflerin Tarihsel Niteliği

The Anatolian region, renowned for its abundant artistic heritage spanning diverse civilizations, boasts a history entwined with the thirteenth century Ottoman Empire. Within world history, the Ottoman Empire holds a pivotal role, particularly in the realms of art, craftsmanship, and science across its dominion. Though artistic hubs initially thrived in Bursa and Edirne, Istanbul emerged as the epicenter in the late 15th century. The intricate textiles, fabrics, and motifs originating here inspired numerous production centers. The 16th century, the Ottoman Empire’s golden age, witnessed a zenith in handicrafts and textiles, notably silk weaving, which constituted a significant portion of Ottoman exports from the 16th to 18th centuries. Bursa’s silk weaving adhered to state-enacted laws and quality standards, a pioneering instance in textile history, reflecting the Empire’s commitment to top-notch production. This article delves into the historical panorama of Ottoman-era attire, textiles, fabrics, and motifs, underscoring the Empire’s dedication to arts, sciences, and crafts a testament to its robust structural framework and forward-looking vision.

RIGHT TO PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA CONTEXT

This research study has been conducted with a deliberate synthesis of both theoretical and practical components. This approach is grounded in the observation that research studies often tend to adopt either a purely theoretical or an exclusively practical and applied orientation. The author’s objective was to systematize theoretical and analytical insights concerning the right to privacy on the Internet within the context of social media functionality. This was achieved through a comprehensive examination that combined theoretical underpinnings with an analysis of real-world court cases. Commencing this research endeavor, an exhaustive analysis of the definitions associated with the concept of “social media” was undertaken. The intricate relationship between “social media” and “social networks” was scrutinized and elucidated. Subsequently, the author delved into the multifaceted issue of privacy and its evolving nature in the backdrop of the digitization process. The author provided a historical panorama, tracing the inception of the concept of privacy, charting its developmental trajectory, and elucidating its normative establishment at both the international and national levels. In recognition of the non-absolute character of the right to privacy, this research delineated the permissible boundaries within which state intervention may be exercised in the exercise of this right. In light of the comprehensive analysis conducted, practical instances were identified and examined, vividly illustrating the extent to which the necessary privacy safeguards are adhered to in the digital domain. An exploration of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights about this matter facilitated the observation of the intricate interplay between the right to privacy and other rights, such as the right to access the Internet, the right to access information, and the right to the preservation of honor and dignity. This exploration accentuated both the significance and complexity of achieving a delicate equilibrium in upholding these rights by their respective claimants. In any scenario, it is underscored by the author that states, law enforcement agencies, judicial authorities, as well as individuals and legal entities, are obligated to exert concerted efforts toward aligning the online environment with the standards set forth by human rights conventions.

Using a qualitative methodology based on documentary analysis, this paper highlights the advantages of the teaching portfolio and underlines the need for future research focused on its specific implementation in the Colombian context. The objective is to direct teaching practice towards a reflective and self-critical approach, theoretically and scientifically grounded, to optimize the fulfillment of institutional academic objectives.

POLITICIZED ETHNICITY AS AN INSTITUTIONAL OBSTACLE TO THE STRENGTHENING OF THE ALL-RUSSIAN IDENTITY IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS

The article analyzes the phenomenon of politicized ethnicity in the North Caucasus, its influence on ethno-political processes and ways to reduce the risk-generating impact of this phenomenon on the ethno-political sphere of the region are proposed. The article summarizes the results of a series of studies conducted in the North Caucasus in 2018-2023: event analysis of the ethno-political situation, analysis of positive practices, mass and expert surveys, content analysis of the media, websites of national-cultural associations, blogosphere, content analysis of normative documents, content and discourse analysis of publications of North Caucasian historians. It is shown that the main factors in the politicization of ethnicity in the North Caucasus region are "hyperethnicity" and the institutionalization of ethnicity in the form of "national republics", as well as the ethno-territorial problems and claims caused by these phenomena, and the "memory paradigm" that has developed in the region. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen the all-Russian vector of the regional identity policy, and for this purpose a "revision" of the legislative framework in the federal subjects in the North Caucasus is required. Since at the present stage it is impossible and impractical to abandon the institution of republics, it is important to gradually introduce into the public opinion the principle of territoriality, and not titular ethnicity, as the basis of the republics in Russian Federation. It is relevant to change the humanitarian agenda of the North Caucasus, which can go in two directions: the reorientation of public consciousness to the problems of modernization of the region and the integration of the humanitarian space of the "Big South" - the North Caucasus and Southern federal districts. The reformatting of the "memory paradigm" can be achieved by expanding the historical panorama through positively oriented constructions of the historical past, as well as changing the scientific priorities of humanitarian research with an emphasis on topics related to the centuries-old experience of living together of peoples of different cultures. The materials of the article can be used in the preparation of a new Strategy of the state national policy of the Russian Federation.

역사적 전경과 상상, 드라마적 장치 -역사로맨스 드라마 ‘옷소매 붉은 끝동’의 스토리텔링을 중심으로

이 연구는 역사적 사실을 토대로 한 장르 소설의 드라마화에 있어서 어떠한 스토리텔링 방식을 사용하였는지 분석함으로써 역사드라마의 시청자 소구 장치와 요소를 밝히고 한국적인 소재의 확산 전략을 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 쥬네트의 텍스트 교류성 이론을 바탕으로 강미강의 역사장르소설 ‘옷소매 붉은 끝동’ 1, 2권과 2021년 11월 12일부터 2022년 1월 1일 MBC TV에서 방영한 17부작 역사드라마 옷소매 붉은 끝동(정지인, 송연화 연출)의 정해리 대본집을 중심으로 스토리텔링을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 드라마 〈옷소매 붉은 끝동〉은 실제 역사적 시기인 1764년부터 1800년을 배경으로 삼고 이야기를 전개함으로써 역사적 사실성을 확보하고 역사적 증거로서의 역사를 재현하여 특정한 사건과 장소를 의미화하는 전략을 구사하였다. 또한, 고어와 현대어를 혼용함으로써 과거와 현대를 병치해 시청자가 과거의 인물에게 감정이입하게 하였으며, 실제 있었던 역사적 사실을 재구성한 역사장르소설을 토대로 등장인물과 역사적 사건을 상상적으로 엮으며 감성과 감각을 자극하는 스펙터클한 영상 언어로 풀어내었다. 〈옷소매 붉은 끝동〉은 역사 속 사건과 소품을 소재로 갈등과 위기를 구성해 서사를 지연시키면서 주인공인 덕임과 산이 사랑을 확인하고 로맨스를 이루는데 기여하였다. 특히 영·정조 시대를 다루기는 하지만, 역사의 뒤란에 갇혀 있던 궁녀 성덕임의 관점으로 그 시대를 바라보며 서사가 전개된다는 점에서 기존 콘텐츠와는 차별성을 보였다. 또한, 실존 인물인 성덕임에 관한 빈약한 기록을 토대로 비어있는 역사의 틈에 상상력을 발휘하여 그녀를 지엄한 영‧정조 시대의 한계를 뛰어넘는 독립적인 여성으로 표현하였으며, 이는 현재를 살아가는 사람들에게 역사를 새롭게 인식하고 재해석하는 동력으로 작용하고 있었다. 향후 스토리텔링을 중심으로 한 역사드라마의 장르적 특성에 초점을 맞추어 K-콘텐츠로서의 역사드라마의 정체성과 중요성을 부각하는 심도 있는 논의가 이루어지길 기대한다.

From small-scale agriculture to urban agriculture: women, subsistence economy, and the question of the commons

ABSTRACT The article presents an historical panorama of the importance of small-scale, subsistence farming, mainly by women, over two centuries: from the loss of the commons associated with the abolition of the ‘second serfdom’ in Prussia in the early nineteenth century to urban farming and gardening in twenty first century cities of Europe, America and Africa. On the way it addresses subsistence farming in towns, new communities and garden cities at the turn of the twentieth century and similar initiatives following both world wars, including the vexed question of the unacknowledged but vitally significant subsistence family production in both socialist eastern Europe in general and eastern Germany in particular. Waves of urban and community gardening in the 1970s and 1990s are also discussed, as are recent ‘food sovereignty’ movements such as La Campesina and Nyéléni. It concludes with a call not only to reclaim the commons but to reintroduce the commons as part of a new socio-ecological policy which will feed people and counter unemployment and urban slum development.

IDF21-0334 Bibliometric analysis on telehealth for people with diabetic foot based on Web of Science

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated dramatic changes in the healthcare delivery to diabetic foot people requiring technologic solutions. Aim: To analyze the current status and trends of scientific publications on telehealth for people with diabetic foot in Web of Science (WoS). Method: A bibliometric-type methodology was used. Data were obtained from the WoS Core Collection in July 2021. Publication were identified using relevant search terms (“diabetic”, “tele*”, “Foot ulcer*”). There was no limitation of language considering that study seeks to present a global historical panorama. VOSviewer Software was used to analyze standard bibliometric data on the number of publications, journals, authors, countries, institutions, collaborations and keywords. Results: A total of 65 documents were retrieved from 2003 to 2020. The number of publications on the subject showed a steadily increase from 2003 to 2020, with a sudden peak in 2020 which reached 14 accounting for 21,5% of the total. The top 3 most active journals and authors and the most cited ones are shown in Table 1. The three countries that published the most were the United States of America (15), followed by Denmark (9) and Norway (7). The countries with the most citations were the United States of America (168), Denmark (135) and Netherlands (130). The top 3 most cited institutions were University of Amsterdam (130), Ziekenhuis Groep Twente (110) and Stavanger University Hospital (96). We identified 5 clusters connected by the authors Armstrong D.G, Van Netten J.J and Bus S. The four most frequently used keywords were “telemedicine” (29), care (13), “diabetic foot” (12) and “telehealth” (11).Tabled 1VariablesNJournals that published the mostJournal of Telemedicine and Telecare4Diabetes Technology & TherapeuticsDiabetes care44Most cited JournalsJournal of Telemedicine and Telecare69Diabetes Technology Therapeutics63Diabetes Care57Authors who published the mostIversen, MM7Bus, SA6Graue, M6Most cited authorsBus, SA130Van Netten, JJ113Iversen, MM96 Open table in a new tab Discussion: The findings from this bibliometric study showed that telehealth technologies are an emerging area in clinical research publications as a strategy for the continuity of care for diabetic foot people.

Контекст текста: паратекстовые составляющие поэм Джоэла Барло

The paper presents the analysis of attendant texts in the poems of one of the authors of the American Enlightenment epoch Joel Barlow (1755 –1812) “The Vision of Columbus” (1787) and “The Columbiad” (1807). G. Genette pointed out that paratext as a system of secondary texts is the constituent part of the totality of literary work and produces its impact upon the reader. The examination of the titles, prefaces and commentaries undertaken in the paper helps to reveal means and mechanisms used by Barlow to originate the contact with the reader, and also reach the poems’ pragmatic potential. According to J. Barlow‘s intention the synergy of the text and all the paratext elements was to generate a coherent narrative of American history “from Columbus to Washington.” Comprehensive unity of the poems’ texts and their peritexts address the dual goal. First, they create a large-scale historic panorama, and on the other hand strive to implant onto readers’ minds some philosophic and political ideas having both crucial importance for the national identity formation in general, but also momentary relevance. But in “The Columbiad” paratext acquires an additional dimension of ideological and methodological guidance. The author reveals his narrative strategies defining the reading procedure. The poem’s paratext explicitly records author’s awareness of the crisis of the Enlightenment aesthetic conscience at the turn of the 18th –19th centuries. So, the comparison of paratextuality of the two poems created with an interval of 20 years at some point presents the logic of fate of the Enlightenment literature in the USA.

Sterowana promocja miasta. O politycznym rodowodzie „Ptolemeuszowej Kalisii”

A Manipulated Promotion of a City. From the Political Genealogy of the “Ptolemeo’s Calisia” Author of this contribution aims to offer a historical panorama of the so called „18th- Centuries of Kalisz”, a jubilee of this Polish town – claimed officialy to be the oldest in this country during series of events, organised in 1960. A deep background and goals of this politically-fueled anniversary can be traced in and reconstructed from archives, press reports and postwar city guides. A precisely prepared event, the jubilee is analysed in terms of critical gesture of local political elites and official discourse of historiography, aiming at critical discontinuation from the interwar legacy of Kalisz, a town restored and reconstructed after the Great War. Author presents various aspects of the 1960-anniversary of Kalisz as manipulations in social memory, discussing also investment campaign initiated by the socialist authorities in the 1960s and related to the jubilee. As a result of alliance between the local and state-dictated political discourses of the anniversary, Kalisz has still been “the oldest town in Poland”, despite the irrelevance of this claim to historical facts, obscuring the real urban legacy of the town.

Academic Performing Traditions of Chilean Guitar Art

The relevance of the article lies in the systematization of the phenomena of the Chilean academic guitar art, the study of the national origins of the performing school, its principles, achievements, transcultural processes and their mutual influences, which led to the popularization of the instrument on the Latin American continent. The purpose of the article is to create an overview panorama of the development of the academic traditions of Chilean guitar performance, to identify trends in the formation and genealogy of successive ties between generations of soloists. The methodology includes methods of historical, systemic, as well as comparative analysis (for contextual consideration of the creative activities of famous performers, the formation of a national guitar school, the detection of successive ties between different generations of musicians, the study of the influence of the Spanish academic tradition, Latin American everyday practice of playing and the specifics of playing music on ancient guitar-like instruments of the Baroque era). Results and conclusions. The cultural and historical panorama of the formation and development of the Chilean academic guitar school of the 20th— early 21st centuries is investigated. The principles and main vectors of the pedagogical activity of its key representatives — Liliana Perez Corey, Luis Lopez, Oscar Ohlsen are characterized. A “genealogical tree” of creative contacts and successive ties between guitarists of different generations has been built. It is concluded that the academic traditions of the Chilean guitar music of the 20th century were formed in the general direction of the development of transcultural phenomena. The performing discourse developed in a complementary way: under the influence of the most famous Spanish classical guitar school that dominates the world (F. Tarrega, A. Segovia, E. Pujol); in the conditions of indirect interaction with the Latin American everyday practice of playing (Argentinean, Uruguayan, Chilean) and the experience of playing music on ancient authentic European instruments (lute, vihuela, baroque guitar). It is noted that as a result of the intensification of creative exchange in the institutional, concert, and festival spheres, at the end of the twentieth century, a representative generation of virtuosos and teachers of classical guitar arose in Chilean culture. Chilean guitarists, no matter in which of the spheres their personal interests were fixed — European old, classical-romantic, modern music or Latin American popular, folklore tradition — put forward the creativity of their compatriots and contemporaries to the leading positions. The appearance of a large number of albums of Chilean guitar music performed by J. A. Escobar, J. Contreras, M. Valdebenito, J. A. Sanchez, L. Orlandini, E. Espinoza, E. Salazar, D. Castro is evidence of close and effective cooperation between virtuosos and domestic composers.

COLORONYMS AND LUXONYMS AS A MEANS OF CREATING ARTISTIC IMAGE IN HISTORICAL PROSE BY V. IPATOVA AND V. KARATKEVICH

The article examines the color and light vocabulary, with the help of which the authors create a figurative system of artistic text. It is a universal tool for creating a figurative and expressive characteristics of a real, ethnocultural space. The use of coloronyms and luxonyms in the historical prose of the authors, their linguistic interpretation indicates the determination of the individual author’s specificity of the perception of color by the writer and the adequate associative connection of color combinations arising from the reader.
 Creating a masterfully figurative picture or model of a certain ethnic group in the context of a work of art is an important task of every writer who conveys his vision of the world through different semantic groups of words as elements of artistic imagery. This also applies to the corresponding group of vocabulary denoting color and light.
 The semantic group of words denoting color is used in any work of art: in one the frequency of use of color designations is greater, in the second - less. Selected literary works on historical themes by V. Ipatova and V. Korotkevich are widely saturated with color vocabulary, which deserves a multifaceted analysis.
 The perception of the artistic word is an individualized phenomenon and is unique in the history of national literature and culture in general. The writers virtually penetrated into ancient events, rites and customs, skillfully described their heroes, national color, ethnic culture, social and spiritual life not only of Belarusians but also of other nations. The authors have made extensive use of the color palette, which involuntarily attracts the attention of readers and affects their figurative imagination.
 The peculiar style of writing of each author, the lexical and systemic organization of their texts, which organically include coloronyms, give the opportunity to vividly imagine the verbal picture of the world created by the writer. It should be noted that when describing a broad historical panorama, the authors often use color in the lexical microsystem as a means of creating a highly artistic text. Language in works of art of the historical genre acts not only as a means of communication, but also as a carrier of artistic imagery.
