He discusses the wide range of political ideas and aesthetic influences that have shaped his poetry to the demands of living in both apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa.

Rocambole’s theatrical mission

The article deals with the influence of theatrical aesthetics on Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail – the famous writer of the French popular literature of the second half of the 19th century. The great connoisseur of the theatre, Viscount of Ponson du Terrail filled his novels – and first of all, an extensive cycle of works about Rocambole – with allusions to the scenic practices of his time (first and foremost, he speaks about Parisian pulp theatres) and plays that had won favour with the commonalty: "Le Chiffonnier de Paris" by Félix Pyat and "La Tour de Nesle" by Alexandre Dumas. On the other hand, performability is a paradigmatic feature of feuilleton. Viscount of Ponson du Terrail was the leading representative of this genre. Particular attention is paid to the production of the play "Rocambole" by Auguste Anicet-Bourgeois and Ernest Blum (1864) and the transformations that the novel text underwent in the stage version.

Figures of speech in the language of Y. Yanovsky's novel "Horsemen"

The article deals with figures of speech as the exponents of the writer`s individual style. The expressive possibilities and structure of linguistic and stylistic constructions are analyzed. Found out the influence of the figures, inputting to the text on the change of modal, grammatical and expressive components of the whole phrase. Structural changes in the syntactic organization of literary expressions can be investigated through their interaction with other stylistic figures - asyndeton, palillogy. The article also focuses on the constructions which helped the author to implement the emotionally-expressive coloring to the work most accurately. The stylistic-syntactic emphasis is made on rhetorical questions and appeals in combination with other stylistic figures - so they give to the text bright neoromantic sounding, at the same time combining it both syntactically and semantically, providing artistic expressiveness and a significant aesthetic influence on the reader. Partly in the article the relationship between formal and semantic content of individual linguistic units of a work is investigated. A compulsory characteristic of rhetorical figures is the construction of such verbal rotations, which are conditionally dialogical in nature. Among such pieces of speech, scholars identify questions, questions, statements, objections, and excerpts. It is worth noting that rhetorical designs are not as simple and transparent as they seem at first glance. Introduction to the text of rhetorical figures - is an indispensable interaction of modal, intonational, grammatical and expressive components of the phrase. The main figures of the language can be grouped according to function, role in the language, as well as the nature of the syntactic organization.

PREPARATION OF THE EDUCATORS TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THEATER ACTIVITY OF CHILDREN OF AN OLDER PRE-SCHOOL AGE IN A GROUP WORK

Attention on the artistic and creative selfrealization of children in the context of a humanistic and personal developmental approach in the work of the theatrical circle is focused. It was emphasized that the children's mastering of artistic creativity requires improvement of the methods of activating creative activity in the field of synthetic arts. There were investigated the mechanisms of the artistic and aesthetic influence of theatrical art in revealing the internal potential of children of the older preschool age, and importance of using the pedagogical technologies in upbringing the creative skills of the preschoolers by means of theater. There were suggested an in-depth assimilation of varieties of theatrical art and revealing of their common and distinctive features, which actively influences the formation of creative thinking, activates the emotional and aesthetic perception of a child, understanding of the artistic picture of the world. The preparative work with the plot of the puppet show is outlined. The adapted puppet theater program for work with the older preschool children, which is designed for one academic year, is proposed. In the adapted program for a circle, the main areas of learning – theatrical, artistic-applied and musical – have a complex character and are closely interconnected during each lesson.

Schnitzler in Historical Contexts: The Case of <em>Fräulein Else</em>

Arthur Schnitzler is standardly considered to be a typical representative of the Viennese fin de siècle — even if a considerable number of his most significant works date from the years after the demise of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Did this author really close his mind to the historical present and remain rooted in what Stefan Zweig characterized retrospectively as a 'Welt von Gestern' [yesterday's world]? Taking the example of Fräulein Else (1924) and using material from the new critical edition of the text, this article investigates the historical location of the mature author and shows how this late work in fact reflects the aesthetic influences and social energies of a long historical period, extending from the 1890s to the 1920s.

Enjoying sameness and difference – competition and convergence of Latin American telenovelas and Swahili video films in Tanzania

ABSTRACTSince the early 2000s Latin American telenovelas have become a very popular and widely received genre in Tanzania. At the same time, a huge video film industry has developed with local films made in Swahili and released on DVD. Although very different from local culture and storytelling in style, aesthetics and language, telenovelas are likewise popular with the Swahili audiences. Their popularity lies both in their foreignness, as well as their sameness with cultural practices, and audiences take pleasure in comparing the lives of the characters with their own. Rooted in the appropriation of early development soap opera, telenovelas are commonly read as educative and as giving moral lessons. In this way they function as open spaces for the imagination of other possible life worlds. For Tanzanian filmmakers telenovelas are important influences on and inspirations for their work. The formal and aesthetic influence of telenovelas has left visible traces on video films as well as on soap operas in Tanzania, which thus contributes to the wider discussion of the two media formats’ transnationalization.

Exploring Chinese Poetry with Digital Assistance: Examples from Linguistic, Literary, and Historical Viewpoints

Abstract Digital tools provide instrumental services to the study of Chinese poetry in an era of big, open data. The authors employed nine representative collections of Chinese poetry, covering the years 1046 BCE to 1644 CE, in their demonstrations. They demonstrate sophisticated software that allows researchers to extract source material that meets multiple search criteria, which may consider words, poets, collections, and time of authoring, paving the way for new explorations of Chinese poetry from linguistic, literary, artistic, and historical viewpoints. Analytic tools help researchers uncover information concealed in poetic works that are related to aesthetic expressions, personal styles, social networks, societal influences, and temporal changes in Chinese poetry. The increasing accessibility of digitized texts, along with sophisticated digital tools, such as the ones these authors developed and demonstrate here, can thereby enhance the efficiency and effectiveness for exploring and studying classical Chinese poetry.

Comparison of the influence of dental and facial aesthetics in determining overall attractiveness

Orthodontic treatment aims at improving the perceived aesthetics; hence knowing which characteristics play a significant role in determining aesthetics is an important orthodontic objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate among laypersons, general dentists and orthodontists the importance of dental versus facial aesthetics. Frontal face smile photographs of eight volunteers (4 males & 4 females), age group ranging from 16 to 24 years were used for the study. One hundred and fifty evaluators (50-lay people, 50 general dentists and 50 orthodontists) were asked to select which face they found most attractive-an aesthetically pleasing face with a malocclusion evident in their smile or an average face with an aesthetic smile. A questionnaire method was followed. There was a statistical significant difference in the perception of the faces among the group of the evaluators. Crowding and midline diastema have more of an effect on the perception of attractiveness by laypersons than gumminess or increased buccal corridor space. Facial attractiveness is the dominating factor compared to dental aesthetics in cases where the malocclusion is less noticeable.

‘Life is Not Simply Fact’: Aesthetics, Atmosphere and the Neoliberal University

The main objective of this article is to reflect on the way in which a certain neoliberal logic and rationality have become common-sense and to contemplate the possibility of a different aesthetic. The tone or mood of this piece draws on recent work on atmosphere, affect and complexity, which will be used to explore the theme of neoliberalism within the context of the university. In the course of this discussion, I will consider questions such as: how could a different aesthetic influence the university as public space; the curriculum and academic community and friendship? How could a different aesthetic respond to epistemic, ontological and, inherently tied to them, spatial injustice?

Influences of ‘appscape’ on mobile app adoption and m-loyalty

Influence of visual aesthetics in product design, service environments and websites are well explored but increasing usage of mobile interfaces and the different use context demand investigation of influence of visual aesthetics of mobile app interfaces – ‘appscapes’ on mobile app adoption and m-loyalty. In this study, the conceptual model is developed by applying Kaplan's information processing model from environmental psychology and integrating it into the Technology Acceptance Model, thereby linking visual aesthetics of mobile apps to m-loyalty. The responses (n = 308) are collected using field experiments using four existing apps as stimuli. Results of PLS structural equation modelling reveal positive linkages between holistic visual aesthetic dimensions and outcomes of m-loyalty. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Maoist Aesthetics in Western Left-wing Thought

In their article “Maoist Aesthetics in Western Left-wing Thought,” Jun Zeng and Siying Duan discuss a terrain of knowledge called “Maoist aesthetics,” which is the creative misreading of Mao’s “On Contradiction,” the theory and practice of “Cultural Revolution” and other revolutionary literature and arts of Mao’s time by Western Left intellectuals. Scholars and academic communities inspired by Maoism include Bertolt Brecht, Herbert Marcuse, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Louis Pierre Althusser, the Chinese period of Tel Quel, Fredric Jameson, Arif Dirlik, and Contemporary Radical Left intellectuals such as Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek. Comparative study of the mutual influence of (Western) Maoist Aesthetics and (Chinese) Mao’s thinking on literature, as well as the research of (Western) Maoism’s return to China, can contribute to the rediscovery of the multi-dimensional voices and complexity of the theoretical thinking around Mao Zedong, and thus reveal unique but neglected voices.

Gustav Jenner and the Music of Brahms: The Case of the Orchestral Serenades

Gustav Jenner (1865–1920) was Brahms’s only long-term composition student. Jenner, an outspoken proponent of the conservative musical values he shared with Brahms, left numerous songs and pieces for chorus, piano, chamber ensembles and orchestra. Despite his obvious stylistic affinities to Brahms, it is clear from Jenner’s prose writings that he placed high value on artistic independence. Although scholars have noted the circumstances surrounding Jenner’s interactions with Brahms between 1888 and 1895 and Brahms’s general aesthetic influence on the young man, Jenner’s music – and particularly its relationship to that of Brahms – has received scant attention. Deeper comparison of the two composers’ works yields insights into not only how Brahms influenced less prominent composers in his circle and in the generation that followed him, but also the extent and nature of Brahms’s direct influence as a teacher.This article compares Jenner’s only complete orchestral piece, his Serenade in A major (1911–12), with its most obvious precedents, Brahms’s orchestral serenades. Although correlations in general style are numerous, discrepancies arise naturally. Jenner furthermore avoids Brahms’s most distinctive compositional choices and takes care not to rely too heavily on any one Brahmsian model for his own Serenade, suggesting his desire to distinguish himself and a wariness of the inevitable comparisons with the works of his teacher. Thus we find in Jenner’s work the same dual emphasis on musical tradition and independence emphasized both in Jenner’s prose writings and in the music of Brahms himself.

FILM MEDIALITY IN V. NABOKOV’S PROSE

In this article, the problem of influence of cinematic visuality on the literary texts of V. Nabokov isposed. The very concept of film-mediality and its significance for Nabokovs aesthetics are specified. A studyof some features of the narrative in the Nabokov prose of the late 1920-ies and early 1930-ies, conditionedby the influence of film aesthetics, is being conducted. Those possibilities that open up to the writer and thereader the use of a kind of camera lens, a kind of cinematic eye are analyzed. On the material of thenovels The Luzhin Defense, Laughter in the Dark, The Eye, the possibilities of using techniques,motifs and conceptual models of the films in a literary work are considered with the aim of expanding thenarrative boundaries turning the plot of the narrative into a plot of observation. In view of the lack ofcoverage by the researchers of the issue under consideration, an attempt is made to resolve the terminologicaluncertainty and distinguish between the concepts of film materiality and cinematography, and also toestablish the meaning of the term film-mediality as applied to the literary (in our case modern) text.The work is of an analytical nature and is a comprehensive study. We take into account mainly formalreceptions borrowed from the cinema, transferred to the soil of literary texts and adapted to the language ofverbal art. The study of techniques helps to establish the semantic interference of cinema and literature. Theinfluence of film-medialism on Nabokovs narration is traced; the relationship between the observer and theobserved, the object of observation and the viewer, the change of points of view and vision are explored.Theoretical reflection and practical analysis of Nabokovs novels allow us to conclude that cinematographictechniques and optical effects transferred to the space of the literary text help the writer to convey thefragmentation of heroes and events, and also to present the narrative as a pattern of successive movingpictures.

Oddramatyzowanie akcji i antyklimaks w kinie współczesnym

The paper discusses the influence of modernist aesthetics on the changes in the dramatic structure of film. In the films analysed by the author, the typical tricks for the classical model, such as dramatisation of action and climax as the classic denouement, are etiolated, turning into their antitheses: de-dramatising of action and anti-climax. On the examples of films such as: The Four Hundred Blows by F. Truffaut, The Adventure by M. Antonioni, Gran Torino by C. Eastwood, The Mist by F. Darabont, Smoke by W. Wang, and Three Monkeys and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia by N.B. Ceylan, the author demonstrates the functions and artistic potential of denouements which shift attention from action to characters and leave the viewer with the dilemma of an “open” ending.

Aesthetics of Interactivity: Between Game and Film. To Watch or to Play?

According to recent research, video games are recognized as a new kind of art of the 21st century. Is it possible to distinguish the concepts of entertainment and art when dealing with this phenomenon? The purpose of this article is to analyze the significance of the game in contemporary society, to characterize the dominant features of personal management of a work of art, and to consider the influence of game aesthetics on the language of up-to-date cinema. The digital age, new technologies, computer modeling and virtual aesthetics modernized the classical thesis of the life as a game into a new philosophical concept. There are more and more attempts in succession to create a full-fledged virtual reality where a person could feel oneself to be an individualized god, commanding over all the processes taking place with the one and ones life. The ultimate goal is the creation of such a global game world in which every person would be able to try oneself in any social role or avatar, building relationships with anyone, playing and enjoying it. So this desire for an interactive fusion of game forms with the objective reality that we are accustomed to is forming a rich and multilayered cultural platform nourishing diverse areas of contemporary art. The game industry has gone a long way of its development as a form of art. Nowadays video games and movies imitate each other and combine mixed aesthetic trends - the boundary between the Game and the Film is being increasingly blurred. On the one hand, games tend to cinema, using professional directing, scriptwriting and cast. On the other hand, mainstreamification of gaming technologies attracts many filmmakers looking for new artistic forms, concepts and visual mechanics that are interesting and relevant for contemporary mass audience.

Mstislav Dobuzhinsky and ukiyo-e: new visual horizons

For Western modern artists Japonisme was like a new religion – a stimulus that offered salvation from the conservative grasp of academism and unimaginative realism. Fin de siècle Eastern European artists also gradually developed a strong fascination with Japan and its culture. This paper examines one of the most enthusiastic advocates of Japonisme – a Russian-Lithuanian artist Mstislav Dobuzhinsky. Placing Dobuzhinsky’s art in the broader context of Eastern European Japonisme, this paper examines the role of Japanese stimuli in Dobuzhinsky’s artistic pursuits. Starting from the early 1900s, Dobuzhinsky’s art was visibly recast under the influence of Japanese aesthetics. The paper argues that Japanese aesthetics brought electrifying new ideas into Dobuzhinsky’s art and not only played a seminal role in the formation of his style but may have ignited his interest in graphics.
