Más allá del agua y del fuego. Distopías y referencias intertextuales en Juan Buscamares de Félix Vega

La presente investigación aborda la génesis de la novela gráfica Juan Buscamares (1996-2003) de Félix Vega y rastrea algunas de sus matrices creativas. La obra, publicada originalmente en cuatro volúmenes, ofrece un relato distópico con intertextualidades y elementos de la cultura incaica, junto con una enorme referencialidad caracterizada por manifestaciones precedentes de la cultura popular y la ciencia ficción. El volumen integral (2017) permite indagar sobre cómo en el cómic se presentan, en clave latinoamericana, cuestiones vinculadas a la confrontación entre discursos autoritarios y hegemónicos. También brinda la posibilidad de reflexionar sobre la representación de los roles de género y del cuerpo femenino.

Types of Power in Intertextuality: Sir Ken Robinson's Ted Talk 'do Schools Kill Creativity?' As A Sample

This study attempted to investigate the use of intertextuality as a source of power in a TED talk sample, viz., Sir Ken Robinson's 'Do Schools Kill Creativity?' within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This paper followed a qualitative paradigm in analyzing the sample data. Accordingly, an eclectic model was devised, integrating Gee's (2014a, 2014b) model of intertextual analysis and French and Raven's (1959) model of the bases of social psychological power. The application of this model to the selected data has yielded some conclusions, the most salient of which is that intertextuality is important in TED talks as it is used to show implicit meanings to exercise two types of power: expert power and referent power. Accordingly, it is recommended to consider power relations and the exercise of power when conducting any intertextual analysis within the framework of CDA.

Trapped between Scylla and Ciris: Some Thoughts on Poetic Structure1

This chapter treats the relationship between the pseudo-Vergilian Ciris and Ovid’s Scylla-episode in Book 8 of the Metamorphoses. It does not, however, make any claims about who wrote the Ciris, or even about which text influenced which: studies of Prioritätsbestimmung are legion, dating back for a century, and in large part unconvincing, not least because they disagree about the criteria to be used in determining priority. Instead, I offer a readerly treatment of Ovidian intertextuality vis à vis pseudepigraphic poetry. In particular, I will be exploring the mutually reinforcing gaps in the two narratives. These gaps have usually been seen as clues to which author is derivative; I suggest that they instead offer insights into the different poetic goals of the two authors.

Translingual text within a meaning-generating context of Russian literature

In this article, the translingual text in the aspect of its interconnection with the meaning-generating context of classical Russian literature is analyzed. The literary translingualism is defined as the phenomenon of writers who create texts in more than one language or in a language other than their primary one. This is an urgent problem for modern literary criticism, requiring an interdisciplinary approach to its study. Within the framework of translingualism theory, as the text is comprehended not only as a product of speech activity subjected to structural preparation. It turns into a zone of cross-pollination with multiple meanings, becomes a representative of cultures in their contamination, mutual repulsion, symbiosis, submission, adaptation. Intercultural communication within the literary text also affects the level of the intertext: the intertextual paradigm elements of various complexity (from selected intexts, unmodified reminiscences to expanded propositions) in a translingual text are often subject to the process of so-called intertextual acculturation, in which the intext is filled with ethnospecific linguistic and literary content. The material for the study is the literary cycle Dreams of the Damned (Sny okayannykh) by the modern Kazakhstan writer A. Zhaksylykov. Some of the intertextual echoes of the cycle with canonical texts of classical Russian literature (works by Pushkin, Yesenin, Dostoevsky, etc.) are analyzed in order to trace the adaptation process of its key motives (the motive of flight from people, the motive of wandering, the motive of the desert, the motive of the black man, etc.) to the Kazakh linguocultural and aesthetic reality. Using methods such as comparative analysis, linguopoetic commenting, intertextual analysis, the conclusion is made that an appeal to the literary works of the acquired language for a translingual author is necessary: they constitute his cognitive base, but at the same time undergo certain linguo-specific transformations, the result of which is generation of new images of the world.

“Singing mountains” in the late Khlebnikov’s poetic manner: geognostic code in the autocommunicative model

This article analyzes the peculiarities of realization of the motif of singing mountains (and its variations) in the later period of artistic and philosophical searches of Russian poet and thinker, one of the originators of futuristic movement - Velimir Khlebnikov. Representations of the geognostic code are given in the paradigm of autocommunicative model peculiar to philosophical and aesthetic thinking of the poet. The actuality of the work is determined by the insufficient previous study of the problem of functioning of geognostic elements in the Khlebnikovs universe, as well as the importance of studying the autocommunicative strategies implemented in poetic texts with a complex structure and a high degree of encryption of the material. Structural semiotic and mythopoetic approaches together with elements of textological and componential analysis methods allowed to reveal mythopoetic motifs that are structurally and typologically close to the phenomenon of singing mountains. Based on the consideration of the post-revolutionary works of rechetvorets (wordwright) an assumption is made that their geognostic motifs can be configured both at the level of mythopoetic units and additional codes, and of natural objects that become independent communicators (addressant and addressee) in the system I - I. The contours of intertextual field analysis in the space of implementation of the considered motif are outlined.

Intertextual References to the Story of A. K. Doyle “A Study in Scarlet” in Modern Literature (N. Gaiman “A Study in Emerald” and Ya. Wagner “A Study in Purple”)

The intertextual layers of the stories by N. Gaiman “A Study in Emerald” and Ya. Wagner “A Study in Purple” are examined in this article. It is shown in the article that the intertextual fields of modern texts are allusions, reminiscences, metatextuality, paratextuality, architextuality, as well as onomastic quotations. It is concluded that the images and motives of the classic detective work of the early XX century create a visible intertext in the works of the XXI century and become a central device that generates secondary artistic worlds. It is emphasized that contextual correlation with A. K. Doyle’s story allows modern writers (both English-speaking and Russian-speaking) to create clear projections to the text about the famous detective, expanding the chronotopic organization of their metatexts. Particular attention is paid to the comparative intertextual analysis of the classical text of Arthur Conan Doyle with the stories of modern writers — English (N. Gaiman) and Russian (Ya. Wagner). The novelty of the research is seen in the insufficient appeal of literary science and literary criticism to the analysis of Doyle’s intertextuality and intertextual references to the story “A Study in Scarlet”, in particular. The relevance of the study is also due to the enduring reader’s interest in the detective genre and in the work of Arthur Conan Doyle.

El cuerpo como desafío al ideal de feminidad franquista. Sara Montiel, la estrella española que vino de Hollywood (1950-1957)

El éxito sin precedentes de El último cuplé en 1957 confirmó a Sara Montiel como el primer gran mito sexual del franquismo. Partiendo del concepto de estrella cinematográfica como una representación cultural construida tanto dentro como fuera de la pantalla, el artículo aborda cómo la actriz encarnó un modelo de mujer que desafiaba los ideales franquistas de género que el régimen trataba de imponer al conjunto de españolas. Mediante el análisis intertextual de películas y documentos hemerográficos, principalmente de las revistas cinematográficas, se observa cómo Montiel fue un icono de feminidad, en la línea de otras voluptuosas estrellas internacionales de los años cincuenta, convertidas en objeto de deseo sexual; pero que en el contexto de la Dictadura se tradujo asimismo en fuente de empoderamiento y agencia personal. Sara Montiel encarnó un modelo de cosmopolitismo y modernidad, no exento de ambigüedades y tensiones con los valores tradicionales, que incorporaba significados subversivos.

Mapping practices and the cartographic imagination

This paper claims that maps and the “act of mapping” have the capacity to disrupt symbolic horizons concerning representations of space constructing aesthetic, political and subjective worldviews. These worldviews constitute modes of subjectivity that challenge the notion of the Cartesian subject, and put forward a “situated” concept of subjectivity. Through an intertextual analysis of Deleuze and Guattari, and Heidegger’s late essay “Building Dwelling Thinking,” Moro pursues a possible redefinition of mapping as assemblage or gathering point of the fourfold. This redefinition in turn indicates the becoming-space of a narration that constitutes particular kinds of world views and subjectivities. The lines between narration, mapping, and mythology are further blurred in recent art projects, where through the ‘cartographic imagination’ artists deliberately deconstruct the rational appearance of the map to expose current political impasse in a globalized world.

Representasi Tokoh Cakraningrat dalam Sajarah Proza Begin Brawijaya

This paper is the result of a study of the Nusantara manuscripts using the historical text sources of Madura. The object of this research is the transliteration of a manuscript from the collection of the Central Library of Indonesia entitled Sajarah Proza Begin Brawijaya (SPBB) code SJ.230 Novarina edition (2020). In examining the manuscript, the philological method and literary theory framework were used. From the field of literature, Jan van Luxemburg's structural theory, Julia Kristeva's intertextuality, and Teeuw's concept of literary representation are used. From the structural study, it can be seen that the SPBB text framework is composed of literary structures and content structures (history), which as a whole serve to legitimize the power of the 17-18 century Madurese king. Meanwhile, the results of the intertextual analysis showed that the elements built into the content structure (history) of the SPBB text were connected with M.C. Ricklefs and H.J. De Graaf in representing Cakraningrat as the main figure in the history of Java, Madura, and VOC based on the author's life view to raise one of the values of the Javanese philosophy of life in this text. This linkage results in the conclusion that as a traditional Javanese historical literary work, the SPBB text is representative of its creator's culture, one of which is as a representation of the philosophy of mikul dhuwur mendhem jero in the Javanese view of life.

The peculiarities of “magic realism” in E. Nekrasova’s novel “Kalechina-Malechina”

The subject of this research is the novel by the contemporary author Evgenia Nekrasova “Kalechina-Malechina”. The novel contains the elements of fantasy and mysticism, which can either have purely rational, materialistic explanation or irrational – surrealistic. Therefore, the composition is viewed through the prism of synthesis of the elements of magical, irrational and familiar everyday reality. Such approach allows attributing the novel to “magic realism”, which is interpreted not as a school or direction, but a literary method used by multiple authors of various national literatures. The key characteristics of the methods as follows: system of the two worlds, binary chronotope, duplicity, and mythological implication. The complex methodological approach includes intertextual analysis and mythopoetic commentary. The conducted analysis allowed determining the peculiarities of structuring artistic world in the novel; principles of creating chronotope and conflicts between individual and the society; principles of narrative structure; and motifs. The novel by E. Nekrasova “Kalechina-Malechina” represents an example of the literary method of magic realism, which manifests on the level of system of the two worlds and development of the chronotope. Narrative structure is built on the synthesis of child’s worldview of the heroine and the author’s vision, which leads to an ambivalent perception of the world. The article provides a detailed overview of the storyline, which main theme is the initiation of the main heroine into the adult life assisted by a magical helper – Kikimora.

The Figurative Structure of Ivan Bunin’s Story «The Snow Bull» («Snezhny Byk») (To the 150th Anniversary of the Birth)

The study involves a philological analysis of Ivan Bunin’s story and reveals its multilevel structure. The relevance of the study stems from a growing popularity of Bunin’s works among readers and investigators. Moreover, some of his texts are included in a set of testing and assessment materials for the Unified State Exam in the Russian language as source texts for writing composition. The study is aimed at clarifying and specifying the interpretation of the story based on linguistic analysis in terms of the writer’s biography and legacy. The author identifies the patterns of the lexical structure and composition of Bunin’s story, unfolding the text at the common level as well as at the symbolic one. The author focuses on the title character of the work, which is a counterpoint to psychological and moral-philosophical issues, as well as to other means of revealing subtext semantics. The research methodology involves lexical, intertextual and motif analysis; the research results are presented mainly using the method of linguistic commenting. The research outcomes embrace the philological results (interpretation of the story The Snow Bull, identification of the universal patterns of Bunin’s artistic style and dominants of his vision) and didactic findings (validation of such works as The Snow Bull as the examination material for the USE in the Russian language).

Connecting Discourse and Domain Models in Discourse Analysis through Ontological Proxies

Argumentation-oriented discourse analysis usually focuses on what is being said and how, following the text under analysis quite literally, and paying little attention to the things in the world to which the text refers. However, to perform argumentation-oriented discourse analysis, one must assume certain conceptualisations by the speaker in order to interpret and reconstruct propositions and argumentation structures. These conceptualisations are rarely captured as a product of the analysis process. In this paper, we argue that considering the ontology to which a discourse refers as well as the text itself provides a richer and more useful representation of the discourse and its argumentation structures, facilitates intertextual analysis, and improves understandability of the analysis products. To this end, we propose the notion of ontological proxies, i.e., conceptual artefacts that connect elements in the argumentation structure to the associated ontology elements.

Subversive Celebrations: Holidays as Sites of Minority Identity Contestation in Repressive Regimes

AbstractWhat role do nationally celebrated holidays play for groups that are not considered—or do not consider themselves—to be part of the majority nation of a state? What function do holidays specific to minority group cultures serve under regimes that discriminate against those groups? This article explores holidays as a forum for contestation for the national identity proposals promulgated by the state in repressive regimes. We argue that national holidays are meaningful sites of identity contestation for four reasons: the role of holidays in heightening identity salience, the malleability of identity narratives, the relative lack of institutional barriers to acts of celebration, and the significance of refusing to participate in celebrations. We collected the data through interviews and participant observation of the Hui in China and the Kurds in Turkey. We employ ethnographic observation and intertextual analysis to compare these identity narratives. We find that the Hui legitimize their group’s existence by co-opting the traditional Spring Festival, or by outwardly insisting they are not celebrating while still engaging in festivities. In contrast, Turkey’s Kurds resist the government’s co-optation of the spring celebration of Newroz as a Turkish national holiday.

A Stylistic Study of Mythical Intertextuality in Milton's "Lycidas"

Intertextuality is a controversial modern linguistic term which has raised unsettled debates about writers' creativity and ideas ownership. The present paper is a literary linguistic study that hands over a substantial deliberation on the debated subject. The study is launched by an introduction to correlated topics including definitions, types, mechanisms, techniques, and arguments about intertextuality. Then, comprehensive deliberations and detailed analysis of mythical intertextuality in Milton's "Lycidas" are introduced. The paper has come up with a conclusion that the author is never dead since the text is alive and no longer a "once upon a time" narration but rather a living seed endlessly gives birth of current associations and predicts of future prospects. It has been also reached to a sort of agreement with Kristevain her confirmation on the productivity of intertextuality.
