Emotion Analysis of Literary Works Based on Qutrit-inspired Fully Self-supervised Quantum Neural Network

The development of foreign literature, embodiment of emotional value in modern, contemporary foreign literature is more attentive on experience, through reading it, one can understand humanistic, personal feelings embedded in the work and grasp the author’s personality, spiritual experience. To analyze sentiment data of foreign literary works, proposed Emotion Analysis of Literary Works Based on Qutrit-inspired Fully Self-supervised Quantum Neural Network Method (EA-LW- QIFSQN). Initially input data are collected from NLP-dataset. Afterward, the input data provided to preprocessing. In preprocessing segment Federated Neural Collaborative Filtering (FNCF) is used to clean the unwanted data. Then preprocessed data is fed to feature extraction, synchro spline-kernelled chirplet extracting transform (SKCET) is used to extract two features such as textual features and lexical features. Afterwards QIFSQN is used to classify the emotions likes joy, sadness, anger, fear. Generally, QIFSQN doesn’t show some optimization adaption techniques to determine optimum parameter to offer accurate detection. Polar Coordinate Bald Eagle Search Algorithm (PCBSOA) is proposed to enhance QICCN classifies the emotions accurately. The proposed technique is executed and efficacy of EA-LW- QIFSQN technique is assessed with support of numerous performances like accuracy, recall, precision and F1-scorce is analyzed. Then, performance of EA-LW- QIFSQN technique is analyzed with existing techniques like emotion analysis of literary works depend on attention mechanisms with fusion of two-channel features (EA-LW-CNN), integrative improvement of modern literary works with traditional culture combined by semantic association network modeling(EA-LW-SAN) and emotion expression in modern literary appreciation: emotion-depend analysis (EA-LW-RFA) respectively.

Revisiting the Accounts of the Political Assassinations in the Prophet’s Lifetime

Abstract The historicity of accounts concerning the political assassinations of several rivals of the Prophet Muḥammad has recently been called into doubt on the basis of a literary analysis of these accounts. This article offers an alternative view of the historical value of these assassination narratives by scrutinizing the accounts of the killings of three Jewish rivals of the Prophet. It argues that certain details of the political assassinations in Medina and Khaybar that are found in rare accounts merit strong trust, and it questions the methodology of applying a literary approach specifically to the accounts of the assassinations, as literary devices are found in reports of nearly every episode pertaining to the Prophet’s lifetime.

Hadith as Oral Literature through Early Islamic Literary Criticism

Abstract Although the study of ḥadīth (the Prophet’s speech) has advanced significantly in recent decades, several of its literary aspects remain unexplored within Euro-American scholarship. The epistemological status of ḥadīth within balāghah, the premodern Islamic theory of literary analysis, has received little scholarly attention. Drawing on Inimitability and Conciseness (Kitāb al-Iʿjāz wa al-Ījāz), written by the literary critic, Abū Manṣūr al-Thaʿālibī (d. 1038 CE), I show how during the oral stages of its development, ḥadīth was a living tradition that was highly flexible in terms of its wording and content. I empirically explore the interface and interactions between oral and written media in the employment of individual ḥadīths as literary texts, showing how an in-depth exploration of the oral nature of ḥadīth illuminates the approaches of modern literary criticism to appreciate literary texts of oral origin. In conclusion, I suggest that the early Arabic discourse of literary criticism offers an emic (culture-specific) perspective that fosters recognition of the literary reception of ḥadīth and its profound integration into the Islamic literary culture.

On the Genesis of the Epic Code in the Aesthetics of the Sakha Theater

The novelty of the research lies in the literary analysis of the performances of the Sakha theater, the definition of epic content in modern stage works. For the first time, the material of the creative rethinking of Western European, Russian and Yakut drama on the ways of forming an aesthetic manifesto of the national theater is summarized. The purpose of the study is to identify the epic code as a key that reveals the role and mission of the Sakha theater in the spiritual culture of the people. The objectives of the research include: 1) to reveal the functionality of the local content of Western European drama by W. Shakespeare, E. T. A. Hoffmann and B. Brecht, whose plays made it possible to creatively decipher the code of the epic heritage of the Sakha people; 2) consider the interaction of theater and prose in the experience of director's staging. The research used methods of historical, literary, comparative and contextual analysis. The study revealed the process of theater's movement towards a synthesis of classical and epic theatrical art. The significance of working with the prose works of P. Oyunsky, S. Kurilov, Ch. Aitmatov as a conceptual part of the manifesto of the Yakut theater is assessed.

The problem of the correlation of individual and regional styles in the Tatar poetry of Bashkortostan

The proposed article is devoted to identifying the main qualities of the regional style of Tatar poetry of Bashkortostan, through studying the features of the individual style of modern Tatar poets of the republic. The work provides a historical and literary analysis of the development of Tatar poetry in Bashkortostan in the twentieth century; the reasons for the emergence of such a literary phenomenon as “bilingual Tatar literature” are revealed, due, first of all, to changes in the socio-political and cultural life of the republic, the displacement of the Tatar language from the literary press and book publishing in the 1930s-1980s; the influence of these events on the individual style of poets is studied. Based on a© Фазлутдинов И. К., 2024qualitative scientific and theoretical basis, the author reveals the meaning and content of such literary terms as “style”, “individual style”, “regional style”; reveals the peculiarities of aesthetic perception and personification of the world in the works of the Tatar poets of Bashkortostan; emphasizes the importance of the artistic picture of the world as the main component of their individual style. Focusing on the diversity of opinions on the problem of the correlation of individual and regional styles in literary criticism, the author reviews scientific and literary discussions on the problems of form, content, creative method and the main motives of regional Tatar poetry. He comes to the conclusion that the Tatar poetry of Bashkortostan is inextricably linked with the traditions of the thousand-year-old Tatar literature and is currently its successor. Thus, the author enters into a polemic with scholars who consider the Tatar poetry of Bashkortostan as an independent literary phenomenon.

This analysis underscores the importance of Shukshin's works in the context of Russian literature and their contribution to the understanding of Russian national identity and historical memory.

Black Latina Passages through Colonial Ecologies of Illness and the Art of Composting Aesthetics

Drawing from Black Latinx and feminist thought to place Latinx Studies and medical/health humanities in conversation, this project asks, what are the medical and colonial histories, personal and collective, that inform patients’ perceptions of illness and Western biomedicine? What happens in cases when Latinx patients have internalized historical forms of medical violence, and what are the means by which Latinx patients construct their healing through narrative? These questions are grounded in material conditions with special concerns for the well-being of Latinx patients, but they are explored via a historically and culturally informed literary analysis of Jasminne Méndez’s Night-Blooming Jasmin(n)e (Night-Blooming), a personal illness narrative composed of poems and lyrical essays that portrays, among other health conditions, Méndez’s life with Scleroderma, Lupus, and Raynaud’s disease. Offering a close reading of Night-Blooming’s biomedical critiques alongside the ecological language, metaphors, and formal structure she employs to describe her illness, the author argues that narratives such as Night-Blooming require us to travel into the colonial ecologies of illness, environmental characteristics, practices, and rhetoric in medical settings that evoke colonial encounters from within and beyond the strict boundaries of healthcare facilities. This essay also follows in the passages of Méndez’s figurative travels to the island of Hispaniola as she works to recover her language, health, and Black roots. Acknowledging the ways Méndez’s chronic illness and biomedicine distort her (textual) body, psychiatric health, and language becomes necessary to appreciate Méndez’s composting aesthetics of illness, healing work that involves a struggle to recover that which is painful and deteriorating for life-affirming and life-sustaining purposes. I suggest that by enacting an aestheticization of illness alongside experiences of pain, Méndez uses Night-Blooming as a conduit to theorize about the potential for transforming human suffering from chronic illness into a means toward cultivating life.

Художественное решение проблемы современной молодежи в прозе А. Мизова

This paper attempts to identify the aesthetic models of Kabardino-Circassian literature in its evo-lution, through the patterns of affirmation of ideals, stereotypes and cliches, appropriate for de-termining authors and specific time periods. The object of this study is the works of one of the brightest representatives of rural prose, a follower of the “writers of the sixties” Ahmed Mizov. The work focuses on identifying the peculiarities of the modern artist’s worldview, the connection of his works with life and a pronounced attitude to the reliability of the presentation. The rele-vance of the research topic is determined by its innovative nature associated with the analysis of unexplored works of Kabardino-Circassian literature. Researchers drew the following conclusions based on their scientific research of the prose writer's work: a) A. Mizov is a master of the short story; b) a sensitive perception of the surrounding world allowed the author to create a whole gal-lery of artistic images, memorable for their immediacy; c) significant changes in social and polit-ical life, in everyday life, in the psychology of the ethnic group over the past decades, the artistic need to understand and show them underlie the novels, short stories, short stories by Ahmed Mi-zov. He fills his novels, short stories, and short stories with an artistic vision of the world. Their heroes are lively, original people, young people, mostly rural and their problems. In the course of the study of the writer’s work, a set of scientific methods was applied, including comparative, comparative-historical, description and literary analysis, which, from the point of view of usage, makes it possible to determine both structural models and the content-conceptual aspect of the artist’s work. The practical significance of the article is the results obtained, which can become a theoretical aid in further research of the work of modern authors and in the study of Kabardino-Circassian literature. They can also be used to prepare undergraduate and graduate students in philological faculties, as well as lecture courses on linked peoples’ literature and Russian litera-ture. The article is intended to facilitate the entry of works of national literature into the all-Russian cultural context.

FORMATION OF THE MOTIVATIONAL COMPONENT OF VALUE ORIENTATIONS IN CHILDREN 6-7 YEARS OLD DURING MINI-BASKETBALL CLASSES

In the case of the first year of mini-basketball lessons for children, the emphasis is not on the nature and specificity of training actions using physical qualities, as is the case in the practice of professional physical training, but on other approaches. The purpose of the study is to actualize the need and reveal the essence of such an aspect of physical education as a motivational component of value orientations. The methods of theoretical research, study and generalization of data from literary sources, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, empirical research are used. An innovative approach to strengthening the motivational component of the educational discipline of value orientations in mini-basketball classes has gained scientific and practical application in a number of countries. Mini-basketball is a high level of dynamic physical education and sport. The main feature of education is the inclusion of the child in motor activity. In sports facilities, this is a pedagogical process that should "close" a child's long-term withdrawal from physical education. The results of the formation of the value-based thinking of the projective type necessary for the child are foreseen. In the course of such conscious physical education, which is not the same as physical activity, the values and goals of using physical education in various game situations are formed, which are constantly changing. These are also the abilities necessary to create a motivational image of "myself in the future", design and implement systems of own mini-basketball lessons. Systematic physical education of children should contribute to the formation of a motivated personality. Playing mini-basketball stands out as an independent direction, which is determined by the characteristics of the child's personality: the complexity of organizing reflection, communication, understanding, self-determination and goal setting. The results of the research can be useful and applied in practice by physical culture and sports specialists.

Intersections of Identity: Race, Legacy, and Belonging, within Caryl Phillips’s Historical Narrative “Dr Johnson’s Watch” as Part of Three English Lives

This essay examines Caryl Phillips’s portrayal of the historical figure Francis Barber. This formerly enslaved person rose to become the companion and heir of Samuel Johnson, the renowned lexicographer and writer. Phillips’s narrative, ‘Dr. Johnson's Watch,’ encapsulates two pivotal episodes from Barber’s life: his poignant attendance at Johnson's funeral in Westminster Abbey and his encounter with an unnamed narrator years later in Lichfield. Through these episodes, Phillips delves into profound themes of race, identity, belonging, and legacy against the backdrop of eighteenth-century England, a society entrenched in slavery and colonialism. The essay offers a nuanced literary analysis of the complex relationship between Johnson and Barber, both of whom existed as outsiders within their own contexts. It prompts reflection on the representation and agency of black individuals in history and literature, grappling with the challenges and opportunities they confronted in a largely hostile and indifferent society. At its thematic core lies Johnson’s watch, symbolising the enduring connections between individuals of diverse backgrounds and underscoring the legacy of figures like Johnson in advocating against the injustices of slavery. Through Phillips's narrative, the essay elucidates the intricate dynamics of race, power, and belonging in English society, shedding light on the struggles faced by immigrants and marginalized individuals during this tumultuous period. Ultimately, ‘Dr. Johnson’s Watch’ serves as a powerful testament to the humanity and dignity of Barber and other foreigners, inviting readers to contemplate the enduring impact of historical figures in advocating for justice and equality.

Interplay of tradition and modernity in contemporary art practices

The purpose of this article is to examine the profound transformation of artistic consciousness in recent years, drawing attention to the relationship between traditional philosophy and art and modernity. Despite the instability of this connection, art today reflects the reality of our time and focuses on social problems and political revolutions. Using the method of literary analysis and processing of such databases as Scopus, Google scholar and Research Gate, the paper analyses the impact of postmodernism on contemporary art and culture, expanding the horizons of interpretation and understanding of the image in art. The results of the work revealed theories that enable each individual to express their ideas and views through art, creating new ways of perceiving the world around them. It has been shown that the interaction of tradition and modernity in contemporary art practices occurs through the image as a key element of postmodernism, which plays an important role in the modern world. Visual perceptions, symbolism, fantasy and imagination are combined in the work of artists and contribute to the formation of reflective thinking. Husserl's philosophy and approaches to the perception of entities helped to develop reflection and understanding of the contemporary socio-cultural environment through the image as a “condition of possibility” for perceiving the world. We conclude that the visual dimension reflects the social construction of the gaze and the atmosphere of our time, reflecting the unique spirit of the era in which we live. The result is a relevant and important understanding of the importance of the image in contemporary culture and the impact of tradition on society.

This is not Soccer!!!: Blue Lock’s poststructuralist approach to soccer

ABSTRACT Like every particle in the universe encompassing the atomic structure of reality, soccer was a product of an entropic cycle whereby its inception in 1893 resulted from a historical hodgepodge of games involving kicking the ball to a goal post. Out of which, today’s soccer was borne, underscored as a complex semiotic system made up of form, value, and content (Yuruevich, 2020). Overtly conscious of the intersectionality between soccer, language, and theory, Blue Lock–a popular Japanese anime – plays soccer with one goal: to dribble the semiotic system of soccer across a deconstructed and decontextualized pitch. By putting Blue Lock at the midfield for literary analysis and spectatorship, this paper argued that the semiotic system of soccer is not fixed; rather, it caught in a perpetual state of différance that, in turn, underscore its robustness as a structure. Conclusively, the semiotic system of soccer was illustrated to be constructed by the deferral of meaning and anti-language.

Heimat: Malady Without Remedy. “Deheimatizing” German Literature (Othmann, Taha, Ayata)

It has become commonplace to consider Heimat a loaded concept. The origins of the malady of Heimat have been very convincingly laid out by Bilgin Ayata in her argument for a “deheimatization” of German cultural politics. Ayata deems this necessary as she considers every effort to salvage the concept through reclaiming or pluralization (Heimaten) as futile. While suggestions have been made out of social and cultural studies aiming to remedy its exclusionary and dangerous shortcomings, this article engages with literature’s potential for a “deheimatization” of German cultural spaces. In the study of three German novels by Kurdish authors, first access points are worked out: From rendering a German Heimat impossible through the destruction of the Kurdish homeland in Ronya Othmann’s The Summers (2020), and the disenchantment of a Kurdish Heimat as place of longing in Karosh Taha’s In the Queen’s Belly (2020), to the “deheimatizing” of the German Heimat in getting to know the Kurdish homeland thus far ignored in Imran Ayata’s My Name Is Revolution (2011). The present engagement with Kurdish-German literature provided some first access points towards a “deheimatization” of the German literary landscape and the canon, which could ultimately lead to new imaginaries of collectivity beyond the nation and thus beyond Heimat in its unsalvageable meaning. However, more theorizing is needed in order to render the concept of “deheimatizing” more fruitful for literary analyses.

Bridging Worlds Through Comparative Literature

This study emphasizes the critical role of comparative literary studies in understanding the modern literary process. Traditional literary analyses often overlook the rich intercultural dynamics that comparative studies highlight. Our research aims to bridge this gap by developing a theoretical framework that comprehends literary aesthetics in a globalized context through a qualitative analysis of diverse literary texts. Initial findings reveal that such a comparative approach not only deepens our understanding of universal literary themes but also enhances the appreciation of diverse cultural expressions. This work underscores the importance of integrating comparative literary studies into mainstream literary education to foster a more inclusive understanding of global literary phenomena. Highlights: Illuminates universal themes across cultures Develops new comparative literary framework Advocates comparative studies in education Keywords: Comparative Literature, Global Literary Dynamics, Contact Genetic Comparison, Aesthetic Analysis, Cultural Expressions.

WORLD LITERARY STUDIES AS A FIELD OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE: TRADITIONS AND TRENDS

Literature and art are continuously in search of new means of expression, and communication. In the process of renewal, artistic culture acquires new aesthetic principles, an artistic fusion of the objective and the subjective. The idea of a work in a realistic narrative sounds gradually, naturally. The plot develops around a fact that reveals the meaning of the work. The aesthetic assimilation of reality proceeds in several directions, in different genres of prose and poetry, drama and journalism, in a diverse creative manner, which is unique for each author of a work of art. The relevance of this article lies in the fact that it traces the evolution of the basic concepts of world literary criticism, which has its own scientific principles, systems of methods and terminology. Literary criticism and critical thought create a special associative field, confirming the importance of the transition in the literary process from ideology to issues of personal existence. Domestic and world literary studies are included in the research field of the humanities, but there are frequent attempts to absorb them into intensively developing interdisciplinary research. The scientific novelty of this research is seen in the generalization of the theoretical views on modern world literary criticism of major literary scholars and critics in Europe, the USA, the CIS countries, authors of sections of collective monographs of the Auezov Institute of Literature and Art «The latest foreign literature», «The world literary process of the 21st century», «Kazakh-American literary connections: current state and prospects», the textbook «The world literary process: content, directions, trends». The basis for the research is the scientific concepts of literary text analysis, theories of critical discourse analysis of literary works, existential criticism and others. Based on the analysis, review of the current state of the leading theoretical schools of world literary criticism (with cultural studies, literary criticism, structural poetics, the concept of semiosphere, theory of cultural transfer and others). It has been established that the science of literature has its own object of study, a special essence, which distinguishes it from the exact and natural sciences.

SIG: Speaker Identification in Literature via Prompt-Based Generation

Identifying speakers of quotations in narratives is an important task in literary analysis, with challenging scenarios including the out-of-domain inference for unseen speakers, and non-explicit cases where there are no speaker mentions in surrounding context. In this work, we propose a simple and effective approach SIG, a generation-based method that verbalizes the task and quotation input based on designed prompt templates, which also enables easy integration of other auxiliary tasks that further bolster the speaker identification performance. The prediction can either come from direct generation by the model, or be determined by the highest generation probability of each speaker candidate. Based on our approach design, SIG supports out-of-domain evaluation, and achieves open-world classification paradigm that is able to accept any forms of candidate input. We perform both cross-domain evaluation and in-domain evaluation on PDNC, the largest dataset of this task, where empirical results suggest that SIG outperforms previous baselines of complicated designs, as well as the zero-shot ChatGPT, especially excelling at those hard non-explicit scenarios by up to 17% improvement. Additional experiments on another dataset WP further corroborate the efficacy of SIG.
