Articulator Characteristics Of THE Cycles Of The Historical-Fantasy Romans Of David Gemmell" The Lion Of Macedon " and "Troy"

David Gemmell's historical fantasy novels, particularly those centered around the Trojan War and Alexander of Macedonia, masterfully intertwine historical authenticity with imaginative elements, creating narratives that both entertain and offer fresh perspectives on well-known historical events. This study delves into Gemmell's unique approach to historical fantasy, analyzing how he reimagines legendary episodes such as the siege of Troy and the life of Alexander the Great. Through a detailed examination of Gemmell's works, including The Lion of Macedon and the Troy trilogy, this research highlights his ability to blend historical accuracy with mythological creativity. The analysis reveals that Gemmell's characters, rooted in history yet enhanced by fantastical traits, resonate deeply with modern readers by addressing timeless themes such as heroism, fate, and the human condition. The study finds that Gemmell's integration of historical figures with mythological elements not only enriches the narrative complexity of his works but also engages readers in a more profound exploration of the ethical and philosophical dimensions of history. His portrayal of characters like Alexander and the heroes of Troy balances their legendary status with human vulnerabilities, making them relatable and compelling to a contemporary audience. Additionally, the research uncovers that Gemmell's approach to historical fantasy significantly influences the reader's perception of historical events, offering an alternative lens through which to understand and appreciate the past.

Мир объективного знания и социально-экономическая реальность (К. Поппер & К. Маркс)

The growing specialization and formalization of economic knowledge threatens to break away from the general scientific base that forms the worldview of the researcher. An urgent task is presented in the reintegration of basic methodological principles and categories of science into modern social science and economic theory. The article conducts a comparative analysis of the works of K. Marx and K. Popper, who made revolutionary changes in the methodology and ideological attitudes (conceptual frameworks) of scientific knowledge. Marx’s contribution focuses on dialectical and historical materialism, the doctrine of the economic basis of society and the change of socio-economic formations; Popper’s contribution focuses on his trial and error method with falsifying interpretation of results and the concept of successive three worlds of the universe. Popper’s criticisms of Marxist doctrine (essentialism, elements of mythology, teleologism) and the counterarguments of consistent Marxists are evaluated. The paper characterizes Popper’s positions on the realism of scientific knowledge, the world of predispositions, flexible management in animate and inanimate nature, the world of mental states of consciousness and the world of the objective content of thinking. Their commonality with the provisions of dialectical and historical materialism (the material nature of objective reality, the theory of reflection, the role of objective mental forms and ideological social relations) in the formation of the ‘world of objective knowledge’ is shown. The insufficiency of Popper’s epistemology for the study of the economic basis of social life is revealed. Based on a structural and logical analysis of the methodological principles and theoretical positions of Marx and Popper, the paper outlines the paths to the development of a system of concepts that brings together the complementary results of their apparently opposing research programs. Also presented are sources showing the relevance of the ideas of Marx and Popper in modern methodological and socio-economic literature. It is concluded that the world of objective knowledge (the key category of Popper’s social science) is part of the socio-economic life of society (in its Marxist interpretation), which, in turn, is incomplete without taking into account the realities of this world and needs additional study from the appropriate angle.

An Analysis of the Works of Fazıl İskender and Narine Abgaryan from Contemporary Caucasian Literature in Terms of Cultural Commitment

This article explores the intersection of mythology and modernity in contemporary Caucasian literature, focusing on how contemporary writers from the Caucasus region integrate traditional mythological elements into modern narratives. The study examines selected works of prominent writers such as Fazıl İskender and Narine Abgaryan. It investigates how these writers reflect their commitment to their culture in their works and how they benefit from mythological elements while doing this. For this purpose, Fazıl İskender's Sandro of Chegem and Narine Abgaryan's Three Apples Fell from The Sky were examined, and the way cultural symbols and mythological elements were reflected in these works were supported by quotations from the works. In addition, the cultural and social effects of these works within and outside the Caucasus region were evaluated, and their role in preserving and revitalizing cultural heritage in the globalization environment was emphasized. The study aims to show how regional literary works can be renewed and developed by benefiting from their cultural background, and thus to contribute to a better understanding of contemporary Caucasian literary works.

VIOLÊNCIA E MEDO EM A ILHA DA IRA DE JOÃO DE JESUS PAES LOUREIRO

This work intends to analyze some representations of violence and fear in the dramaturgical narrative A Ilha da Ira (1975), by João de Jesus Paes Loureiro. This investigation is built on the hypothesis that the character “A Velha”, the ruler of the island where the actions of the narrative are developed, is characterized according to the elements of the Dictator and strongly associated with Sovereignty. To account for this hypothesis, we use two formulations to analyze the narrative, namely: the relationship between history and fiction; the appropriations directed to the mythical imaginary as a response to the conflicting reality, associated with the history-fiction relationship. As for the story-fiction pair, we note that the narrative dialogues with a set of references to authoritarianism in the Amazon – the uprising of Cabanagem and the 1964 Civil-Military Dictatorship. In relation to the real-imaginary, intertextual dialogues with elements of classical mythology – the Medusa myth; and mythical-legendary – the Amazonian legend of Matintaperera. In this way, we consider some theoretical questions, to understand the study about violence and fear and its ramifications in the process of understanding and analyzing the narrative. In this context, our starting point is the reflections of Walter Benjamin, Jaime Ginzburg, Elias Canetti and Tânia Sarmento-Pantoja to articulate the studies of violence and fear in the literary work.

Onomastic Eatery Places in Ambon City

This study reviews the linguistic analysis of naming eating places in Ambon. This research focuses on the use of language in naming places to eat, especially in terms of monolingual, bilingual, or multilingual, as well as the categories used in naming, such as mythology, adjectives, time, family, tools, places, and names of people. Data was obtained through Website observation and Google Maps from January to March 2024. The results show the dominant use of Indonesian and English in monolingual form and the tendency to use Indonesian with local or foreign languages in bilingual form. Some names also contain mythological elements, tools, or adjectives that add an artistic dimension to the culinary experience. This study provides a better understanding of language use in naming food establishments in Ambon and contributes to the understanding of local culture and identity.

The Squirrel, Omelette, and the Truths: An Ethnographic Narrative Exploration of Philosophical Dialogue and Literacy with Young Learners

Abstract: This paper explores the innovative approach of engaging young learners in philosophical dialogue through creative storytelling. Employing an ethnographic narrative methodology, it examines storytelling sessions between the first author and her eight-year-old son, focusing on the emergent discussions about multifaceted truths inspired by the whimsical tale of “Omelette”, a fish that, according to the young storyteller, lays pre-cooked omelettes. By integrating narrative theory and elements of folklore and mythology, this paper reveals how such narratives can significantly enhance literacy and philosophical understanding in children. This research highlights the potential of storytelling as a dynamic educational tool, offering insights into the development of critical thinking and literacy skills.

Amaia Salazar

Amaia Salazar is the protagonist of Dolores Redondo’s Baztán trilogy: El guardián invisible, 2012 (The Invisible Guardian), Legado en los huesos, 2013 (The Legacy of the Bones), Ofrenda a la tormenta, 2014 (Offering to the Storm. The novels are hybrid texts that weave in the detective story elements of Basque mythology, fairy tale, and the noir. It is in the character of the detective Amaia Salazar that all these elements converge. Dolores Redondo successfully created a character of a female detective who is not only bright, rational professional investigator relying on the most recent advance in forensic science but also, she is the only one who has access to the mythological sphere. Amaia not only meets the mythological beings basajaun, Mari, and lamias but she interacts with them and receives help from them. The following paper examines the elements that contribute to the hybridity of the novels.

Generation of Character Designs Based on Pre-Islamic Beliefs of Turks

Turkish communities had lived under the belief system of Turkic mythology, known as Tengriism, in a significant part of their history. It is noteworthy that Turkic mythology elements, which have taken such a place in the cultural life of the Turks, are not sufficiently used as visual design tools. Considering the significance of preserving cultural heritage, Turkic mythology is rarely shown in animations, video games, or movies. The primary gods, goddesses, and supernatural creatures of Turkic mythology are not directly depicted, despite the existence of some animations relating to Turkic cultures such as Keloğlan, Nasreddin Hodja, and Dede Korkut. The main concern of this article is that the elements of Turkic mythology are unable to find enough depiction. Therefore some dominant creatures belonging to Turkic mythology were transformed into character designs. As the method, two-dimensional computer-based modelling techniques were selected to compose character designs of selected Turkic mythology creatures.

Chathi Mai in Popular Imagination: Exploring Narratives, Worship, and Rituals in North India

This paper explores the varied narratives surrounding Chathi Mai, which do not find a mention in the normative texts. These narratives showcase the blending of religious beliefs with regional traditions in the imagination of her worshippers. Focusing on Kartika Chatha specifically, the study delves into the narratives that depict the Goddess as a healer, protector, and feminine energy tied to the Sun. Our fieldwork in Varanasi, Patna, Munger, and Sahibganj reveals diverse origin stories, showcasing the cultural mosaic of regions venerating her. The research comprehensively examines the evolutionary trajectory of Chathi Mai’s worship, emphasizing the synthesis of mythological elements and local folklore. Three key facets—the manifestation of feminine energy, the significance of the title “Mai,” and the complementary relationship between male and female principles—are explored to provide a nuanced understanding of the Goddess’s multifaceted identity in North India. The absence of normative texts enhances grassroots adaptability, allowing for localized interpretations in the popular imagination of the Goddess. Associations with the Sun god Surya and the continuity of divine male-female dynamics provide varied entry points for believers, enabling emotional connections and familial devotion. The duality of malevolence and benevolence adds complexity, making worship dynamic and responsive to challenges. Linking Chatthi Mai to Bihar’s regional identity integrates the tradition into daily life, promoting a sense of belonging. The evolving narratives contribute to the deity’s adaptability, relevance, and popularity, with potential for further research exploring folk religions’ adaptation to societal changes and the impact of evolving narratives on community dynamics.

Chinese Mythological Elements and Contemporary Art Works

"Contemporary art" is an "alternative construction" that seeks a way out in the context of "modernity". It is a work of art constructed using the way of thinking of contemporary people; it is the development of post-modern art and continues after modern art and is derived from it; it is a new concept, new form, and new path. Chinese totem aesthetic art has substantial symbolic value and significance. Among the art categories, dance dramas with mythological themes deeply explore elements of various regions, ethnic groups, and dance types and incorporate traditional dance vocabulary. A large amount of vocabulary is used in dance dramas with mythological themes. This vocabulary not only makes the dance dramas present a unique national style but also sorts out and excavates the cultural relics of different mythological themes, effectively promoting the fullness of dance dramas with mythological themes.

The Origin of the State: The Formation of the Metatheory

The paper analyzes the main classical theories of the origin of the State: theological, patriarchal, organic, psychological, social contract, internal and external violence, class theories. The author makes an attempt to identify doctrinally reliable and mythological elements in each theory and describes the alleged causes of the occurrence of this mythological element. Based on the results obtained, the author elucidates the classification of theories of the origin of the State that, in turn, became the basis for the systematic integration of verified scientific facts about the process of state formation in order to form the primary theoretical basis of a special metatheory of politogenesis. Thus, the concept of metatheory acts as an alternative to the unsystematic integration of the state and law doctrines of the origin of the state, allowing the researcher to embark on the path of their methodologicaland structural consolidation. The main properties of the metatheory of politogenesis as a method are described, namely: universality, consistency and dynamism. The paper also provides an interpretation of this meta-theory.

Signs of the influence of the ancient Mari culture on the area of residence of the ancient Sami

The subject of the study is the cultural influence of the ancient Aryan population on the area of residence of the ancient Sami population. The coinciding time frames of these populations' residence in the region provide a theoretical opportunity to consider the influence of their cultures on each other. The residence of the ancient Sami should have taken place with the development of the formation of culture, which has entered into modern Sami culture, and it is quite interesting to consider the possible process of borrowing cultural elements. From the point of view of the theory of cultural penetration, the task is to substantiate the possibility of the presence of individual elements in the culture of the ancient Sami, the influence of the culture of the ancient Mari. It is necessary to briefly consider the possible ways of movement of the ancestors of modern Sami, the possibility of meeting them with the ancient Mari. It is necessary to consider both the moments of borrowing in decorative and applied art, as well as in mythology and in the formation of the pantheon of gods. The method of carrying out the work is a scientific analysis of cultural data that allows us to trace the possible path of transmission of elements of culture, mythology and decorative and applied art. The novelty of scientific research consists in obtaining results that make it possible to understand the history of the emergence and formation in the culture of the ancient Sami of some iconic elements that have reached the present time through cultural continuity. The history of Sami culture is divided into three long stages. The period of the emergence of the headdress of a Sami married woman and its special form in the Sami culture is considered, and this period is attributed to the time preceding the relationship between the ancient Mari and the ancient Sami. The period of cultural exchange and cultural penetration between the ancient Mari and the ancient Sami includes the formation of a graphic symbol in the culture of the ancient Sami to express the image of a reindeer, the formation of a mythological character of a deer Man, an ancestor, and his name. The assumption of the influence of the religion of the ancient Mari, or rather, the worship of the god Yumo, on the religious culture of the ancient Sami is considered. As proof of the residence of the ancient Mari near the area of residence of the ancient Sami, an analysis is given of the possible origin of the name of the Kostroma River associated with the deity of the sacred grove in the Mari culture. The conclusion of the scientific work consists in a comprehensive analysis of the results and the development of a judgment on the possibility of the influence of the culture of the ancient Mari on the culture of the ancient Sami.

Philosophical conceptions and theoretical foundations of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history forming

The article analyzes the impact of methodological approaches of philosophical thought on the formation of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history. The methodology of this work is based on the principles of complementarity, structure, and dialogue. In the study of labor problems, methods were involved: philosophical hermeneutics, systemic- structural, interdisciplinary. Historical anthropology as a version of the philosophy of history, which explores the mental- cultural plane of causes, the essence of historical processes and their possible projection into the future, has a significant potential for understanding the global social- cultural dynamics in past eras through philosophical- historical concepts. An important condition for the implementation of this scientific task is the analysis of the formation of the theoretical foundations of historical- anthropological dimensions of philosophical- historical thought. The study of the specified problem field is based on the study of the philosophical theories of R. G. Collingwood, K. Lévi- Strauss, and M. Foucault. The main ideas of R. G. Collingwood, which are important for the formation of the concepts of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history, include the understanding of the philosophical potential of historical thought; the need to combine philosophical concepts and historical methodologies; the importance of understanding the mental and cultural horizon of the past through the philosophy of history. Among the factors influencing the structuralist concepts of K. Lévi- Strauss on the formation of the theoretical foundations of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history, it is possible to single out the analysis of mythological elements of perception of the world by proto- societies; identification and studies of unconscious components of psychology and culture of societies of the specified type, implementation of scientific interactions of historical knowledge and ethnology. Important concepts of M. Foucault, which influenced the formation of theoretical approaches of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history, includes the analysis of unconscious elements of the psyche of societies in different eras of the past; understanding the phenomenon of «otherness» in history; study of mental representations in European society about mental illnesses; research on the understanding of the phenomenon of madness in Western European art; studies of the mentality of doctors in the Early Modern Time. The theoretical foundations of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history, which were formed under the influence of philosophical concepts, include the ontological, epistemological and axiological planes. The ontological plane is manifested in the formation of the problem field of historical- anthropological studies, the mental- cultural horizon of the past. Its composition includes: analysis of the subconscious foundations of psychology and mythological systems of proto- societies and early- historian societies; understanding the communities’ perception of the specified types of various socio- cultural phenomena, in particular diseases and means of treatment; the attitude of societies to certain social groups, in particular to doctors; analysis of the perception of political power and the mechanisms of formation of its social- psychological foundations. The epistemological plane is revealed in the formation of historical- anthropological concepts of methods of analysis of deep, unconscious aspects of the psychological and cultural dimension of past eras; effective application of an interdisciplinary approach in the analysis of mental phenomena and social behavior; realization of cognitive interaction of methodological approaches of ethnology and historical anthropology. The axiological plane consists in stimulating the spread in the understanding of the mental- cultural horizon of historical processes of the values of humanism, pluralism and the equality of cultures and civilizations of the past and the present; dialogue of various cultures, worldview systems and intellectual traditions.

Ориентальный бестиарий Михаила Щербакова

The paper presents and comments on the main corpus of oriental bestiary compiled based on the works of Mikhail Shcherbakov. These works incorporate elements of ethnography, mythology, history, legends, beliefs, and literary traditions from both Eastern and Western back-grounds. Shcherbakov’s animal world includes the tiger, the “master of the taiga,” gods and mythological creatures such as Ganesha, a man-god with the head of an elephant, the “fox” Irinari (Inari), and the Egyptian scarab. There are also fantastic mammoths and dragons, the symbol of a prosperous sea voyage, the seagull, and others. In the “Black Series” story, luminaries and comets come to life, transforming in front of the reader with vibrant colors and shapes, altering the existing dimension. The bestiary of Shcherbakov combines multiple worlds and cultures, creating an exotic space where stories, reminiscent of Jack London’s novels, are presented as if they were documentary stories interwoven with oriental folklore, legends, and myths. The Shcherbakov’s “zoological code” reveals a complex fusion of mythological motifs, images, and documentary elements, confirmed in many texts by the role of the “I-narrator.” This narrative technique allows the reader to fully experience the past on an epic scale by presenting a character interacting with animal-gods. Simultaneously, it provides the writer with a means to explore the modern Eastern world, into which the Russian emigrant is deeply immersed.

The Tree "Yggdrasil" as a Symbolic Key to the Interpretation of the Novel by Mark Z. Danilevsky's "House of Leaves"

The object of research in this article is a novel by Mark Z. Danilevsky's "House of Leaves" in the context of postmodernism. The subject of the study was the mythical element of the novel (ash Yggdrasil). This element is considered as a hermeneutic key to the interpretation of the novel by Mark Z. Danilevsky's "House of Leaves". Also, the subject of the study is space and time in the novel, inextricably linked with the mythical component of the works. As a result, a detailed analysis of the mythical component of the "House of Leaves" is given in the context of the poetics of postmodernism, as well as some characteristics of the space-time of the novel. Hermeneutical interpretation is performed using the poem "Yggdrasil", located on the last page of the novel, as a symbolic key. The grapheme "Yggdrasil" and the symbolism of the components of the limit tree in their relation to the exemplification of the structure of the novel as a whole are analyzed. The mechanism of the inclusion of the work in the context of world literature is described through the actualization of semantic and etymological inclusions of mythical motifs about the creation of the world in the text of the "House of Leaves". The analysis of intertextual references to Egyptian mythology through the symbols of the ouroboros and the solar disk is given. The plot of the path of the sun god Ra in the "House of Leaves" is analyzed. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that we have analyzed the symbolic detail in the novel: the hidden symbolism of the "Ash Tree" as the tree of the limit; elements of biblical mythology; the image of the inverted world; labyrinth, stairs. The interpretation of the work as a model of the world is considered, where the ambiguity of mythological and spatio-temporal layers, based on the inevitable symbolic references-threads, function as an instrument of appeal to the cultural unconscious. The connection of the mythologies of Egypt, Tibet, the texts of the "Upanishads" and "Kabbalah", as well as the artistic and literary intertext with the "House of Leaves" is analyzed. As a result of this hermeneutic analysis, an ironic postmodern interpretation of the work of Mark Z. is described. Danilevsky through the symbolism of emptiness (unselfishness).

Old Norse Heimr ʻWorldʼ and its Toponymic Derivatives in the Poetic Edda

The article examines the mythopoetic concept of the ‘world’ (Old Norse heimr) and its derivatives — toponyms with the suffix -heimr in the Poetic Edda. It involves a thorough analysis of their meanings and their significance in the Eddic mythopoetic framework. The methodology for studying this lexical unit and its derivatives is based on a thesaurus description of folk terminology, alongside an exploration of polysemy within epic texts and lexicological investigations of key concepts in the Rigveda. Employing an integrated approach, the analysis considers various factors such as statistical distribution, grammatical case paradigms, syntactical functions of predicates, etymology to understand semantic motivations, mythology to reveal connections to mythological elements, poetic devices like alliteration and repetitions, and the relationship between linguistic signs and referents in the extralinguistic world. The predominance of singular forms (28) over plural forms (8) suggests two significant points: the existence of multiple worlds in the Eddic mythopoetic model initially, and an evolutionary progression from a collection of similar objects towards a unified whole. This semantic evolution is exemplified by the transition from ‘dwellings of giants’ (plural iǫtna heimar) to ‘Dwelling of giants’ = ‘World of Giants’ (singular Iǫtun-heimr). The Old Norse term heimr is associated with the universal world model depicted as a world tree (nine worlds = nine roots of Iggdrasill in Völuspá). It contributes to the construction of the Eddic chronotope in which the world tree, along with its roots (representing worlds), is described as located “under the earth,” signifying its origin. It also demonstrates temporalization, being linked with the temporal concept of age (Old Norse ƍld) and exhibits anthropocentric orientation.

Gulât-ı Şîa’nın Mehdi Tasavvurunda Mitolojik Unsurlar

İnsanlık tarihinde bilinen dinî geleneklerin tamamına yakınında gelecekte ortaya çıkacak bir kurtarıcı fikri bulunmaktadır. Bu düşünce veya inancın tarihî süreçte çeşitli sembolik motiflerle zenginleşerek mitolojik bir boyut kazandığı görülmektedir. Aynı şekilde antik dönemlerde farklı medeniyetlere ait mitolojik anlatılarda bu düşünceyi yansıtan temalar yer almaktadır. İslam kültüründe erken dönem Şiî gulât kesimlerin mehdî tasavvurlarında da Ortadoğu dinî gelenek ve mitolojik anlatılarında geçen kurtarıcı düşüncesi etrafında örülen efsanelerden bazı motifler dikkat çekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, kurtarıcı inancının farklı yönlerini anlamak için insanlığın kolektif hayal gücünün ürünü olan mitolojik unsurları göz önünde bulundurmanın büyük bir öneme sahip olduğunu düşünmekteyiz. Çalışmamız bu noktada, karşılaştırmalı bir değerlendirme ile, diğer din ve toplumların mitsel anlatıları ile ilk aşırı Şiî kesimlerin mehdî anlayışında bulunan bazı mitolojik imgelere dikkat çekmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, genel bilim metodolojisinin temel prensiplerine dayalı olarak tanımlama, açıklama, karşılaştırma, ilişki kurma ve yorumlama yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.
