“Literature Museum Libraries” at the Junction of Cultural Heritage, Literature, Museum and Library Concepts

This study relates to the literature museum libraries, which are exclusive to Turkey as a library model. One of the essential library applications in Turkey in recent years, literature museum libraries are authentic hybrid institutions. Library, museum, library museum house or museum library are not adequate concepts to define them. The literature museum library is a new library concept after synthesising these concepts. Since having been founded in 2011 by the Libraries and Publications Department of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, literature museum libraries are designed as to offer services to writers, critics, publishers, translators and literary NGOs in particular and the whole public in general; in a fashion to provide a new concept to the society with different content and meaning than traditional libraries and museum librarianship. Literature museum libraries are cultural places where works of local writers and poets, who communed with the region after being born or living for long years there, are exhibited alongside the objects of the writers and the works written about these writers and poets, in addition to books and manuscripts that are suitable for museum librarianship. Students, researchers, and literature lovers are chosen as the fundamental user group, and the presentations and services are designed according to this group. In their collections, there are art and literature works, which are contemporary and aesthetic, as well. Reflecting their cities’ written and oral literary culture and cultural heritage where there are educational, cultural, and artistic events in this regard, literature museum libraries are spaces flourishing the city’s literary and aesthetic culture. Literature museum libraries perform various missions in regard to preserving, sustaining, exhibiting the cultural heritage and bringing it into the public’s service. This study probes library, museum, literary museum home and museum library concepts first before evaluating the literary museum in Turkey in general. The study also includes various examples from the services and events of the seven literature museum libraries in Turkey.

Historical distribution of the Garden Dormouse in Poland

The Garden Dormouse (Eliomys quercinus), is the rarest species of the Gliridae family in Central Europe. So far, information on the occurrence of this species in Poland is based mainly on historical data in the literature. The presence of the Garden Dormouse is additionally confused by the occurrence of the Forest Dormouse (Dryomys nitedula) of similar appearance. The range of both species overlap in Poland, and they have often been distinguished incorrectly. The aim of the research was to critically analyse the known localities of the Garden Dormouse in Poland, using both literature data and museum collections. The analysis of museum collections indicated errors in species identification, where specimens of the Forest Dormouse were usually described as a Garden Dormouse. New, previously unknown, localities have also been found. Most numerous in the collections are specimens from the vicinity of Babia Góra (Western Carpathians), where 5 individuals were caught in the early 1960s. Another occurrence of the Garden Dormouse in the Carpathians was recorded in Zakopane in the second half of the 19th century. Another region of the species’ occurrence is the area of Lusatia, in the lowland, western part of the country, where one specimen was found. The last specimen was found in Silesia in the first half of the 20th century. The remaining literature information should be considered uncertain. The last certain information about the occurrence of the Garden Dormouse in Poland comes from the 1960s from Zawoja (vicinity of Babia Góra) and since then, despite intensive searches in the 1970s and 1980s, this species has not been found in the localities where it was captured earlier. There have been significant changes in the landscape in the areas where the species historically occurred. The mosaic of mountain pastures, arable fields and small spruce forests, constituting a favourable habitat for the Garden Dormouse, has been replaced by beech forests, which are currently dominated by the Edible Dormouse (Glis glis).

KAHRAMANMARAŞ’TA EDEBİYAT TURİZMİ

Literary tourism is a type of tourism that gains importance with visits to real or fictional places, especially to destinations in Europe where writers and their work are associated. It is also of great importance because it ensures that the diversity of tourism is increased and spread throughout the year. Turkey has a very rich literary culture. If its value is fully understood, great gains can be made in the name of literary tourism. Kahramanmaraş is a city with a strong cultural background and many unique values. These lands have produced many poets, writers and bard from past to present. It is the only city in Turkey that has applied to the Creative Cities Network with the theme of literature. The study was carried out through the example of Kahramanmaraş, in order to contribute to the concept of literary tourism and literary tourism practices in the world and in Turkey. In the study, a situation analysis was made by making use of document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, and the advantages that literary tourism would bring to Kahramanmaraş were revealed. In order to develop literary tourism in Kahramanmaraş, it is important to bring places related to poets and writers to literary tourism in different formats, to make literature museums more functional, to organize literature festivals, and to create literary tourism routes. The development of literary tourism in Kahramanmaraş will contribute greatly to the tourism economy of both the country and the region.

Мемориальная память в лицах: герои-фронтовики Большой Ялты

The article considers memoirs from of the funds of the Yalta Historical and Literary Museum, namely, letters from the front during the Great Patriotic War of the heroes of the front-line Big Yalta, in the context of such branches of modern historical and humanitarian knowledge as microhistory and history of everyday life. The interdisciplinary connection in the study of memorial (historical) memory and microhistory is demonstrated using specific examples in the form of submitted personal documents, namely, front-line letters from the times of the Great Patriotic War. The purpose of the work is to show their importance in the development of microhistory as a discipline on the basis of the information received from the front letters stored in the funds of the Yalta Museum of History and Literature. Objectives: to consider and analyze the information contained in the front letters, thereby demonstrating their theoretical and practical significance for historical science as additional sources of information on the Great Patriotic War. To indicate the importance of this information for such humanitarian disciplines as “Microhistoryˮ and “History of everyday lifeˮ. Methodology. In the process of working on the study, the following research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, analogy and generalization. Results. The development of this problem proves the promise of such modern trends as microhistory and history of everyday life in the study of history as a science. This work helps to see new opportunities and study the history of everyday life on the basis of specific personalities during the Great Patriotic War. So, the study of front-line letters written by the heroes of the Great Patriotic War helps us to look at some historical facts from a different perspective, thereby studying the subject in more detail and volume. In particular, the obtained historical data and details are a special addition to the history of the liberation of Crimea from the fascist invaders. Conclusion. Thus, letters from the front are a valuable scientific source of information, showing us important details in the context of such disciplines as “Microhistoryˮ and “History of everyday lifeˮ. The personal history of a front-line hero becomes a significant addition to the study of the history of the liberated city (Yalta) and, in general, shows new promising directions in the study of the history of everyday life on the other hand, namely, on specific historical personalities who were active participants in significant events. In this study, we directly introduce new documents into scientific circulation, namely the presented memoirs of the heroes - front-line soldiers of Big Yalta, from the funds of the Yalta Historical and Literary Museum. This scientific research sets a new direction in the interdisciplinary (complex) and multilateral study of memorial memory in the mainstream of such humanitarian disciplines as “Microhistoryˮ and “History of everyday lifeˮ.

Stories of Alisher Navoi and Rizoi Payvandi (On the Example of “Lison ut-tayr” and “Qush Tili” (The Language of Birds))

In Uzbek literature, the study of epics of the genre “Mantiq ut-tayr” is associated with the study of Alisher Navoi’s epic “Lison ut-tayr” and has always been in the spotlight of experts. Mawlana Khoja Qazi Payvandi Rizoi (XVIII acp) was another writer who wrote in Turkish on the theme “Mantiq ut-tayr”. The only manuscript of the epic “Qush tili”(The Language of Birds) created by him is kept in the fund of the State Museum of Literature named after Alisher Navoi under inventory number 127. Rizoi Payvandi used the works of Jalaliddin Rumi, Fariduddin Attor, Abdurahman Jami in the creation of this epic, as well as carefully studied Alisher Navoi’s epic “Lison ut-tayr”. Because the comparison of Rizoi’s epic with Alisher Navoi’s work shows that in the plot of a number of stories in both epics we see the closeness to each other and in most places the artistic interpretation of the same story, which is characteristic of both creators.

A Study on the Expansion of Local Literature Museums with the Development of Digital Media Technology

Today, Due to COVID-19, Digital media-based technical ability are emerging as a new paradigm. Cultural content has entered an era of innovative and diverse expansion. However, Is the local literature museum sensitive to the technology of digital media in this era? I sensed the urgent need to change and seek various contents for the popularization of local literature museums today. This is because the local literature museum should make the development of new content a task at hand to revitalize the public. I seriously asked what direction the local literature museum should go in this era and devised a plan. I suggested the ‘Metaverse Literature Museum’. This is because I see the most suitable expression technology for breaking the boundaries of local literature museums and creating programs where literary people and visitors interact with each other as Metaverse. Now, The local literature museum can open a virtual reality literature museum using augmented reality and virtual reality platforms by creating an access address and space for the local literature museum on the Metaverse platform. Programs such as performances, education, exhibitions, and experiences are available on the Metaverse platform. Now, you can try to change the expression technology and enjoyment method of literary works at the local literature museum. The most important point at this point is the collaboration between workers related to literature museums or local culture and artists and digital media content development experts. Only then can the development of digital media content at local literature museums be implemented. It is hoped that digital media will form various expression methods and spread to personalized literature centers tailored to digital media. Therefore, it is expected that the public s accessibility can be increased by revitalizing local literature halls through the application of digital media technology. In addition, it is expected that changes will be triggered in the way local literature museums are promoted, educated, and operated, and the aspect and support of specialized programs. Now, The local literature museum needs an attitude to counter changes according to the trend of the times.

On the Quotations in Arabic Quoted in the Work “Qush tili” (The Language of Birds) by Mawlana Khoja Qazi Payvandi Rizoi

In Uzbek literature, the study of epics of the genre “Mantiq ut-tayr” is associated with the study of Alisher Navoi’s epic “Lison ut-tayr” and has always been in the spotlight of experts. Mavlono Khoja Qazi Payvandi Rizoi (XVIII acp) was another artist who wrote in Turkish on the theme of “Mantiq ut-tayr”. The only manuscript of the epic “Qush tili”( The Language of Birds) created by him is kept in the fund of the State Museum of Literature named after Alisher Navoi under inventory number 127. In the creation of Rizoi’s epic “Qush tili”( The Language of Birds) the epics of the series “Mantiq ut-tayr” and the works of Sana’i, Ibn Sina, Shahobiddin Suhrawardi, Ahmad Ghazzali were the first sources, The history of Islam, the Qur'an and the hadiths have served as an important factor in ensuring the originality of the work, the uniqueness of the plot and compositional structure.

Jelgavas meitene pasaulē: ieskats rakstnieces Indras Gubiņas dzīves ģeogrāfijā

The aim of the present article, based on the vast archive of the writer Indra Gubiņa’s (1927–2017) kept in several repositories, like the University of Latvia Academic Library named after Jānis Misiņš, Museum of Literature and Music, and the National Archive of Latvia, was to select the appropriate data and create a map of the Gubiņa’s places of residence and her travels. Such a map was created using the mapping method of the digital humanities, it is available at the site www.literatura.lv – within Gubiņa’s profile. The writer Gubiņa belongs to the generation of writers who left Latvia at the end of WWII, having to leave unfinished studies, then trying to complete their education while at the camps of the displaced persons in Germany, but later – in the countries of their exile. Gubiņa started her literary activities while living in England, later continued them in Canada. Her literary works show everyday life and situation of the Latvian exiles in England and Canada, the impressions of the foreign environment, relationships of people, family and the problems of married life, complications of a woman’s inner world, as well as the relationships between generations, search for the meaning of life, as well as problems of art. The author reflects on life and culture of her age, trying to show the surrounding people as seen through her own eyes, that is the people of that particular age with their characteristic problems. The works follow the tradition of the psychological realistic prose; her poetry is characterized by a romantic, restrained mood, and personal experience. Gubiņa’s literary heritage is quite voluminous, consisting of twenty-seven books – novels, short prose, poetry, and travelogues (Europe, Mexico, Australia). Her writings in general are characterised by strong autobiographical or biographical features and aspects. Several of her works have been reissued in Latvia. She also wrote reviews of art and exhibitions. Gubiņa believed that a person is formed by one’s age, society, and geographical surroundings. The article provides an insight into the personality and work of Gubiņa from the location or geography aspect. It reveals that the most significant locations in the life of the author have been the following seemingly unlikely list: Līvbērze, Jelgava, Lübeck, Bradford, and Toronto. Arriving in Canada provided to Gubiņa her liberty, opportunity to travel and see the world, provided her with new creative impulses, or sometimes simply an occasion to relax, while the way home – to Latvia – was closed. In 1975 Gubiņa visited Soviet Latvia for the first time, then returning more frequently after 1990, though she never found a true feeling of belonging there. For the life geography of Gubiņa, Jelgava is of particularly great importance, though the town was virtually destroyed at the end of WWII. For Gubiņa, this town meant home, now completely lost; all that was left was a dream of home. She lived in Toronto, Canada, for 65 years, always viewing it as a mere place of residence. “This is anxiety, and longing for peace, that makes one time and time again to pack up the belongings and leave for the world in search of happiness somewhere else,” Gubiņa wrote. The memories of home and the town of Jelgava hold her in their power, while she admits in her poetry: “The road is grown over with nettles, / the ditches full of willows, / and the eyes – of recollections.” Work with the aforementioned digital tools and creat of the map of Gubiņa’s life space allows to visualise the vastness of this space while providing a compact view of it. Such mapping of movements or travels also provides the basis for a better understanding of the writer’s literary works. The experiences, travels and transcultural memories of Gubiņa reveal themselves in the travelogues and the moods and the depicted landscapes of her poetry, thus also enriching the ‘geography’ of the literary texts.

Sleeping water mystery in David Turdospireli's novel "Bagwash of Hearts"

David Thurdospireli belongs to the number of Georgians who made their modest contribution to the development of the Twentieth Century Georgian Small Prose.  David Turdospireli's novel works are a bearer of all the features characteristic of a small prose, which is expressed by the glow of mood, insensitive epic embroidery, intense expression, rhythm, in some cases lyricism and refreshment, the structure of the dialogue or the use of fabulous and fabulous fantastic and fictional elements. David Turdospireli's literary heritage is distinguished by an abundance of children's works, but attracts the attention of the reader as an interesting pattern of the writer's simultaneous era events and small prose reflecting general problems. In this regard, the archive of a writer kept in the Museum of Literature retains many interesting materials, most of which are still unpublished and therefore remain beyond scientific circulation.  This time, we want to focus on the 1916 novel "Bagwash of Hearts. " Water mystery, which falls asleep once in a century, gives a hope to novel’s main character to help him make his youthful dreams come true.

СОБРАНИЯ ПО ИСТОРИИ ВСЕСОЮЗНОЙ ПИОНЕРСКОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ ИМ. В.И. ЛЕНИНА В МУЗЕЯХ БАРНАУЛА

The year 2022 marks the centenary of the establishment of the Young Pioneers of Spartacus. In 1926, its new name - the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after Lenin - was confirmed. Over the following decades, the history of every school in the country was associated with the activities of that formation. After the Pioneer associations were liquidated on September 28, 1991, significant material was left, which subsequently gained relevance for the formation of collection collections and the creation of permanent and temporary exhibitions in a number of museums across the country. In the article the museum collections of several Barnaul museums such as Altai State Museum of Local Lore, Altai State Museum of Literature, Art and Culture History, Museum of Education Development of Barnaul, museums of secondary school №78 and gymnasiums №22, №40 connected with the history, activity and attributes of pioneer organizations are examined.

Attack on Historical Heritage

Russia’s war is also directed against Ukraine’s historical memory. The large number of attacks on architectural monuments, cultural institutions, and archives suggests that these are not instances of so-called collateral damage. Russia’s army is striking pillars of Ukrainian national consciousness. In the vicinity of Kharkiv, the Hryhorii Skovoroda Museum of Literature was destroyed, and near Bucha, the archives of the Chornovil Foundation went up in flames. In Chernihiv, the regional archive of the secret service SBU with its historical holdings of records from the NKVD and KGB was hit. This was where the files of the perpetrators and victims of the Stalinist terror were held. The destruction of such an archive weighs all the more heavily given that Ukraine, with its liberal, open archival policy, enabled scholarly research into the history of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, and the German occupation. Ukraine’s historical memory is largely at the mercy of Russia’s rockets and shells.

THE DIMENSION OF «EXPERIMENTAL CULTURE»: ANATOMY, SOCIAL PEDOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGICAL REFLEXOLOGY AS COMPONENTS OF ART EDUCATION AT THE KYIV ART INSTITUTE

Abstract. The article examines the problems of art education in the 1920s of Kyiv Art Institute in the context of interdisciplinary links and tasks of ideological education. The educational process in art educational institutions, such as Kyiv Art Institute, received its ideological and philosophical basis in the early Soviet period, according to which traditional approaches to art education were deconstructed, curricula were changed, new disciplines were introduced, etc. Understanding the essence of the educational process in this period is the key to understanding the artistic culture of the early USSR in general. In the course of this study, both general scientific methods, such as formal analysis, historical, biographical, typologically systematic, problem and logical, and empirical, as well as cultural and historical, which belongs to art history methods, were used. For the first time, this study highlights the origins and stages of formation of such disciplines as Anatomy, Social Pedology and Physiological Reflexology, which were taught at Kyiv Art Institute in the 1920s of the 20th century. The article makes up for an insufficiency in the data about the history of development and scientific and methodological approach in teaching these disciplines based on the autor’s processing of archival documentation kept in the funds of the Central State Archive Museum of Literature and Art of Ukraine. The aim of the article is to study the curriculum of the Kyiv Art Institute in the 1920s of the 20th century on the basis of primary sources, to analyze new approaches and interdisciplinary connections of the new curriculum, the place and significance of such disciplines as Anatomy, Social Pedology and Physiological Reflexology. The article is based on primary sources and archival data, such as abstracts of lectures on Ukrainian, Pedology, Anatomy, Philosophy, which were listened to by Professor O. K. Bohomazov, were found by the author of the article in the funds of the Central State Archive Museum of Literature and Art of Ukraine.

Van Pantheon naar buitenwereld

When the first issue of Nederlandse letterkunde was published, I was in the early stages of my PhD research about Dutch poetry in the 1960s. I wrote about the textual version of the readymade, and the theoretical implications of works of art, and poetry, without inherent value. These works test the limit of what literary history can do – and similar questions were regularly raised in Nederlandse letterkunde: what should the subject of literary history be, and to what extent are the mechanisms of canonization a fact? The surroundings where I did my research were more traditional than Nederlandse letterkunde, something I recognized only in retrospect. In this article I question not only my research, but also – albeit briefly – the way in which canonization plays a part in publishing, and in the Literature Museum (The Hague). The Pantheon exhibition – which was literally a canon with the hundred most important authors of the Dutch language – is being replaced by a view of literary history that leaves more room for marginalized perspectives.

‘Creative Ferment’: abortion and reproductive agency in Bessie Head’s Personal Choices trilogy

«Архангел Михаїл» та «Богдан Хмельницький»: проєкти герба м. Києва 1942 та 1944 рр. у творчій спадщині Антона Середи

The aim of the publication is to reveal the role of the Ukrainian graphic artist Anton Khomych (Fomych) Sereda (1890–1961) in the process of creation of Kyiv city coat of arms in 1942 and 1944 and to present the works made by the artist. The research methodology includes the principles of objectivity, historicism and comprehensive study of historical sources. In addition to general scientifi c approaches in historical research, methods typical for purely heraldic analysis have been used. Objective study of graphic works of heraldic nature requires from the researcher specifi c approaches, namely the correlation of such images with the basic rules of heraldry and the norms of blazonry. The application of the comparative method was necessary to compare and critically analyze the source information taken from the archive’s documents. The scientifi c novelty of the article is to cover a little-known episode in the history of Kyiv city heraldry and to determine the personal contribution of A. Sereda in creating Kyiv’s coat of arms. New sources have been introduced into scientifi c circulation, expanding the knowledge about the process of creating city’s coat of arms in 1940s and giving the opportunity to provide a new more accurate attribution for the sketching draft of Kyiv city coat of arms, which was published in 1990, and make conclusions about the context and conditions of its appearance. Conclusions. According to comparative analysis of the documents from the A. Sereda’s personal fond in the Central State Archives Museum of Literature and Arts of Ukraine was found that the sketch, fi rst published in 1990 and previously considered as the work of H. Narbut, is a graphic realization of the project of Kyiv city coat of arms of 1942. The previously unknown attempt of the Soviet authorities to create a new coat of arms of Kyiv in 1944 is considered and a probable interpretation for the symbolism of A. Sereda’s project is suggested. There is a signifi cant structural similarity between the sketches of 1942 and 1944, which, however, completely differed in symbolic content. Both projects were not implemented and remained unknown. As a result, the above information allows us to adjust the existing knowledge about the role of A. Sereda in the process of creating coat of arms in the fi rst half of the 20 century in general and in the drafting projects of the city arms of Kyiv in particular.

Leonīds Vīgners – komponists

The aim of the article is to highlight the creative work of the outstanding 20th- century Latvian conductor and pedagogue Leonīds Vīgners in the field of composition. The facts are based on the materials of Leonīds Vīgners’s archives found in the Museum of Literature and Music, which allows tracing the entire, versatile activities of the musician. Leonīds’s understanding of music, much like that of his sisters Beatrise, Meta, and prematurely deceased brother Vitālis, developed early in childhood, when they became the examples of the success of the new practical method of absolute musical hearing championed by their father Vīgneru Ernests. Later, the talented musician received a comprehensive musical education at the Latvian Conservatory. In addition to conducting the orchestra, playing the organ and percussion instruments, he also graduated from the composition class of Jāzeps Vītols. In the 1920s and 1930s, Leonīds Vīgners composed a range of instrumental works, from simple minuets to an extensive form of a piano sonata. In total, the museum’s collection contains 16 manuscripts of his instrumental works. The largest part of Leonīds Vīgners’s work consists of his solo and choir songs composed or reworked in different periods of time. He has mentioned that he has composed about 80 solo and 300 choir songs, but some of them perished during the war. Examining the manuscripts of Leonīds Vīgners’s songs, as well as many drafts that have been included in the collection of the Museum of Literature and Music, it can be concluded that he attached great importance to the words that evoked his musical ideas. Leonīds Vīgners always remained himself, with his own views on music and Latvian nationalism. However, behind his seemingly harsh exterior, there was a sensitive and fragile soul, which is truly revealed in his compositions with the plastic, bittersweet sense of melody characteristic to the Romantics and at times the impressionistic freshness and subtlety of his harmonies.

Мероприятия циклового типа как перспективное направление деятельности литературного музея

A long-term, mutually interesting relationship with the public is the goal of most of the world’s museums. The author of the article suggests that a promising form of organizing museum events are programs of a regular type, formed into thematic cycles. The study explains both theoretical grounds and practical arguments emphasizing the relevance of the application of this form of events in the practice of museums. The study was based on the experience of The National Pushkin Museum, which demonstrated the possibility of multifaceted coverage of a given topic within thematic cycles, synthesizing in one event different forms of impact on the visitor. Review of cycle-type programs of two other museums – The Pushkin Museum and The State Literature Museum, confirms the conclusions that this form of organizing events contributes to the development of the cultural and educational aspect of museum activities, an increase in the number of regular visitors, an increase in the professional motivation of museum staff, and forms a favorable image of the museum, increasing its competitiveness. The prospect of cyclical events is reflected in modern trends in society towards self-education.
