Журнал «Киевская Старина» в мемуарній рецепції С. Єфремова

На рубежі ХХ–ХХІ століть під впливом глобалізації художня література стала помітно втрачати свої позиції, її стрімко почала витісняти документальна література, до якої належить мемуаристика. Поступово мемуари як різновид літератури non fiction почали виходити з периферії наукових студій. Спогади С. Єфремова, що досі були маловідомим твором видатного українського вченого, дали змогу краще зрозуміти його постать, формування світоглядних позицій, засвідчили коло періодичних видань, які він читав і в яких друкувався.Метою статті є з’ясування ролі журналу «Киевская Старина» у формуванні україноцентричних позицій автора спогадів, окреслення його ролі як секретаря і співробітника видання, з’ясування участі у відкритті молодих талантів В. Винниченка та А. Тесленка в українській літературі, простеження взаємин із тогочасною цензурою.С. Єфремов дає розгорнуті характеристики працівників редакції «Киевской Старины», аналізує роль її керівника В. Науменка, засвідчує появу молодого покоління, з яким пов’язує радикалізацію видання. Помітне місце в спогадах відведено власним публікаціям автора в журналі. Він наголошує передусім на тих працях, які спричинили значну полеміку в тодішній пресі («В борьбе за просвещение», «В поисках новой красоты», «Певец борьбы и контрастов», статтю про П. Грабовського, «Праздник украинской интеллигенции»). Автор спогадів згадує про взаємини з тодішніми цензорами, які спотворювали його тексти, вихолощуючи їхню суть.Співпраця С. Єфремова з редакцією «Киевской Старины» закінчується револю­ційними подіями 1905 року, які спричинили появу низки україномовних видань, сама ж «Киевская Старина», перетерпівши кілька трансформацій, невдовзі зникла, вико­навши свою історичну місію.

March ’68 from the perspective of victims – approximations (Baral, Naszkowska, Grynberg)

The article deals with the issue of how to recognize the experience of March 1968 in non-fiction literature. The article analyses three publications – Zapiski z wygnania by Sabina Baral, Księga wyjścia by Mikołaj Grynberg and Ani tu, ani tam. Marzec ’68: powroty by Krystyna Naszkowska. The author of the article has set herself the goal of describing the genre diversity of the discussed works and describing various mechanisms for shaping individual messages about March, through which the authors of texts give the events referred to different meanings. The analysis of the publication focuses on the issues of diverse images of Polish anti-Semitism, ways in which Jews perceive the social situation in March 1968, ways of discovering their own identity, and contemporary images of Poland and Poles.

POETIC STYLE OF NON-FICTION MEMOIRS: THE PROBLEM OF THE PAST AND THE PRESENT IN THE BOOK OF M. ATAMANOV “ULON-VYLON DAURKAE: TODE VAYONYOS”

The article looks into the poetic style of the new book of memoirs of Mikhail Atamanov “Ulon-vylon Daurkae: todevayonyos” (The World of My Life-Being: Memoirs) in the context of the development of non-fiction literature in the Udmurt literary process at the turn of the century. The focus is on the artistic features of the genre of memoirs in the works of a Finno-Ugric scholar, essayist, publicist, missionary, translator of the Bible and liturgical literature into the Udmurt language, compiler of the national epic “Tangyra”. The main theme of the memoirs is the theme of motherhood and fatherhood, the image of a small homeland, the ethnic history of the Udmurt people, the path to Christianity. For Mikhail Atamanov, the source for creating the memoirs was his studies in linguistics, ethnography and expeditions to the Udmurt ethnic groups along with his personal life experience. Special poetry to the leading images of the memoirs, the portraits of the parent home and small homeland, is created by a deep knowledge of folklore, folk traditions, the bearer of which is the author of memoirs. In addition to that, Atamanov’s book is significant for the theme of road, which is not so notable at first sight. It is associated with his life experience, personal becoming, his studies, work, spiritual and scientific growth. It is worth noting that the theme of continuity of generations, inherited memory of the public, common closeness with the ancestors is also topical in the memoirs. One of the burning issues of the book is the theme of the nation’s future. The author is overly concerned about the globalization processes in the world, he is hurt by the fact that the current generation of Udmurts doesn’t much care for keeping the Udmurt language and traditions of the nation.

Повышение уровня читательского интереса у старшеклассников посредством современных технологий

In this article, the problem of declining reader interest among high school students is considered. A way of solving this problem is proposed: increasing high school students' interest in reading by using modern technologies. The research methods used in this paper include theoretical (analysis of scientific, non-fiction and fiction literature, followed by analysis and synthesis of obtained data), as well as empirical (a survey in order to determine the reading activity of students, comparison and analysis of obtained data, systematization and statistical processing of research materials) methods. The author has examined several modern information and communication resources, of which those most suitable for the purpose of this study have been selected: an online survey, a poster, a book trailer and an Internet forum. The results of this study demonstrated a positive dynamic in 10th grade students' reader interest, thus confirming the hypothesis.

Domesticating startup culture in Finland

ABSTRACT In recent years, startup entrepreneurship–understood not only in economic but also in cultural terms–has become increasingly important for nations’ economic growth. This article examines startup culture as a global form and its domestication in local contexts. I analyse how startup entrepreneurship is made sense of in Finnish society, utilising Finnish startup guidebooks and non-fiction literature as research material. As a theoretical framework, I draw on the literatures of domestication of global trends and neoliberal, entrepreneurial subjectivity. The analysis reveals that the domestication of startup culture is founded on the juxtaposition of startup entrepreneurship and Finnish culture, constructing certain elements of Finnish culture as obstructive to and incompatible with startup entrepreneurship. Simultaneously, the books negotiate startup entrepreneurship in relation to Finnish historical meaning systems. The texts invite the Finnish audience to rework their national identity, which in part functions as the domestication of neoliberal, entrepreneurial subjectivity.

EXISTENTIAL MOTIFS IN SLOVAK LITERATURE WITH THE ISSUE OF THE SHOAH

The study deals with existential motifs in selected fiction and memoir works of Slovak literature, which thematically focus on World War II. and the Holocaust of the Slovak Jewish minority. As we considered the fact that many works of Slovak provenance with this issue were published (especially after 1989), we focused only on a selection of those works, which contains fiction and non-fiction literature and memoir works written by surviving Jews, in which they gave valuable testimony about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism of the war-torn Slovak state and post-war society. Based on the interpretation and analysis of Shoah-themed works, we detect recurring existential motifs: degradation of human dignity, feelings of guilt for one's own survival, Auschwitz traumas, and the motif of The Lost Generation.

Громадсько-політичні та літературно-художні періодичні видання в юнацькому щоденнику С. Єфремова

Процеси глобалізації у світі, які заявили про себе на межі ХХ–ХХІ століть, суттєво вплинули на літературний процес: художня література стала помітно втрачати свої позиції, її стрімко почала витісняти документальна література, до якої належить мемуаристика, котра має достатньо розвинену жанрову систему, одним із провідних жанрів якої є щоденник. Поступово цей жанр літератури non fiction став виходити з периферії наукових студій. Щоденник С. Єфремова, що досі був маловідомим юнацьким твором ученого, уможливив краще зрозуміти його постать, формування світоглядних позицій, засвідчив коло періодичних видань, які він читав.Метою статті є з’ясування кола періодичних видань, які регулярно читав автор щоденника; визначення його симпатій та антипатій щодо тодішньої періодики в Росії та Австро-Угорщині; відзначення зародження співпраці з окремими журналами; простеження відстоювання україноцентричних позицій у полеміці з українофобами в російській періодиці, окреслення кроків щодо налагодження видавничої діяльності.В умовах відсутності видань українською мовою в Росії, автор щоденника прагнув читати прогресивні російськомовні журнали й газети, зокрема «Русское Богатство», «Киевское Слово» (після змін у редколегії). За ініціативи С. Єфремова в Київській духовній семінарії була організована спілка, що колективно передплачувала прогресивні періодичні видання. Важливу роль у пробудженні національної свідомості українців мали львівські видання «Зоря», «Правда», «Дзвінок», з якими С. Єфремов прагнув налагодити співпрацю, де були надруковані його ранні художні й публіцистичні твори.Юнацький щоденник С. Єфремова — це вдала проба пера майбутнього українського вченого, журналіста, публіциста, видавця, редактора, державного та політичного діяча, організатора науки в Україні.

유배실기에 나타나는 유배 경험에 대한 글쓰기와 삶 살기 －『남해견문록』과 『적소일기』를 중심으로

본고는 유의양의 『남해견문록』과 김약행의 『적소일기』를 대상으로 유배 경험에 대한 글쓰기 양상에 관해 연구한다. 이를 위해 『남해견문록』과 『적소일기』에서 유의양과 김약행이 유배지에서의 경험을 어떻게 서사화하고 있는지를 살펴보고, 그 과정에서 서로 다르게 나타나는 글쓰기 전략에 대해 논의한다. 동일한 유배라 할지라도 그 사건이 주는 고난의 강도와 맥락은 사람마다 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 따라서 유배의 고난에 대응하여 글을 쓴다는 것 자체보다는 ‘고난을 어떻게 인식하고 어떻게 글을 쓰고 있는가’에 주목할 필요가 있다. 『남해견문록』에 나타나는 유의양은 유배 죄인이라는 세상의 인식에서 벗어나 자신의 삶을 스스로가 생각하는 상태로 변화시키기 위해 노력하며, 그러한 경험에 대해 서술한다. 이를 통해 유의양은 유배의 고난과 불안에서 벗어나 이전 정체성을 실천하며 새로운 삶을 살아가려는 자기의 테크놀로지를 보여준다. 이에 반해 『적소일기』에 나타나는 김약행은 유배지에서 경험한 절망 속에서 자신의 삶을 가족들이 공감해주고 기억해주기를 바라며 경험을 서슬한다. 이를 통해 김약행은 자신이 경험한 유배의 고난과 불안을 가족들이 기억해줄 것이라는 바람의 맥락에서 삶의 가능성을 찾아나간다. 이러한 글쓰기를 통해 유의양과 김약행은 유배지에서 자신의 삶을 새롭게 의미화하고, 이렇게 의미화한 삶을 다른 사람들이 읽는 과정을 통해 자신의 삶을 단순한 유배죄인이라는 낙인을 넘어서 새롭게 인식하기를 바랐을 것이다. 그리고 이 과정에서 이들은 유배의 고난에 대응하는 글쓰기를 통해 삶을 살아 나갔을 것이다.

«НЕ МОЖНА ЖИТИ, ПАМ’ЯТАЮЧИ, ТА НЕ МОЖНА ЖИТИ, ЗАБУВАЮЧИ»: УКРАЇНСЬКА РЕЦЕПЦІЯ СУЧАСНИХ ПОЛЬСЬКИХ ЛІТЕРАТУРНИХ РЕПОРТАЖІВ ПРО ВІЙНУ (В. ТОХМАН, В. ЯҐЕЛЬСЬКИЙ, В. ҐУРЕЦЬКИЙ)

During the last few years in Ukrainian translations appear more and more books belonging to non-fiction literature, including literary reports. The current popularity of this genre on the Ukrainian book market, as well as among readers, is caused by the topicality of the issues raised in such texts. A separate place in the Ukrainian reception of translations of contemporary Polish literature is occupied by the subject of war conflicts, because one of them during last several years takes place in Ukraine. So we perceive in the Ukrainian public discourse a sharp demand to discuss important and painful for most Ukrainians problems, related to rethinking of the ethical categories, moral values and adopting of traumatic experience related to war. Reports by W. Tochman (translated in 2009), W. Górecki (in 2018) and W. Jagielski (in 2019) devoted to completed or ongoing conflicts described in private stories, are not only testimonies of the fate of specific people, but they are also an element of the collective memory of nations. In the article have been analyzed texts-reactions that show the main accents of Ukrainian interpretations of these works. They all are connected by thinking about man and his world in and after the war, an attempt to search for its causes and effects, as well as the possibility of learning for the existence after the war with overcoming the pain, despair, hostility and mutual accusations of those who survived in it. In addition, the article has proved the important role of report, thanks to its reminder function, for modern Ukrainians in (re)updating the traumatic experience as part of their collective memory, which was removed from historical narrative in Soviet times, but is now being absorbed because of the war in the Donbas region. Separate attention (on the example of the Caucasian microcosm of Abkhazia) was devoted to sociological and historical analysis by the recipients of Ukrainian quasi-states with disputed borders and an unclear status with the inhabitants, who are constantly looking for their identity and being in the difficult relations with the rest of the world, which denies them to exist.

Objets domestiques, entre privé et public (XVIe-XVIIe siècles). Introduction

The introduction presents this volume’s key aims : to explore what non-fiction literature of the early modern period has to say about domestic objects, their values, and their uses, both private and public at once ; and to draw attention to the domus of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a kind of “smart home” avant la lettre. It shows the relevance of the chosen methodology (which combines literary studies and material studies), before presenting the different sections within the volume.

Let’s Talk: Examining the Short and Long term Effect of Inclusion Literature on Early Childhood Pre-Service Educators

ABSTRACT Pre-service teacher education programmes should systematically plan to increase the PST’s understanding of how to meet the needs of the 13% of the children with disabilities in the general education classroom and develop skills and strategies to support children with disabilities and their families. Reading inclusion literature, non-fiction literature written either by an individual with a disability or their families, may offer PSTs a deeper understanding, augment the information they learn in the textbooks, and make clearer the complexity of the lives of students with disabilities and their family’s experience. The participants were 22 pre-service early childhood education teachers enrolled in a senior-level Family, School, and Community course at a university in a southern state during their semester prior to student teaching. After reading a non-fiction inclusion literature book, participants reflected on what they learned from the book and how the book might impact their teaching in the future. Coding of all reflections revealed the following emergent themes: Understanding Parent Perspectives, Deeper Understanding of the Student and their Disability, and Advocacy. Results indicate a strong impact on how pre-service early childhood educators will support and interact with children with disabilities and their families in their future classrooms.

Mitologia radziecka (beletrystyka i reportaż rosyjski XX i XXI wieku)

Soviet Mythology (Russian Belles-Lettres and Non-fiction Literature in 20th and 21st Century)Soviet history, since just after the October Revolution until the present day, has been full of myths created by the communist ideology and politics. In the past, these numerous myths (together with utopias) helped people to believe in the existence of a paradise on the Earth. The most popular of these myths are the myth of the victim, the myth of a hero fighting for ‘the peace in the whole world’, the myth connected with the figure of a Leader, Teacher showing how people have to speak, behave and act, the myth of the Great Patriotic War… The last one is especially well known all over the world because Soviet politicians always consider themselves winners who had regained freedom. These days the Great Patriotic War myth is used or even overused in the Russian Federation because people are looking for an event which could connect all former Soviet nations. Books written by Russian authors are the proof of this tendency.

“Left-Wing Haters and Angry Mobs”

The results of the 2016 election presented a crisis for American progressives that has given birth to a new genre of popular nonfiction literature focused on resistance to the Trump administration. These primers seldom consider labor to be an important element of resistance, and while they include many policy prescriptions, these are often lacking in imagination and ambition. This genre is nonetheless an instructive source, offering a historical snapshot that reveals the fissures and dilemmas facing the American Left in the early days of the Trump presidency.

ЭДВАРДИАНСКИЙ КОД В АНГЛИЙСКОЙ ПРОЗЕ ХХI ВЕКА

The article considers the references of modern authors to the traditions of Edwardianism. This period can be characterized as a vibrant cultural era, with writers who were determined to break away from the stifling influence of preceding Victorian literature and provided the cultural foundation for the coming century. The ‘Edwardian code’ fully developed in literature of the interwar decades (1920s–1930s) and revived in the early 21 st century. It includes such elements as the image of the manor house, the motifs of Arts & Crafts movement, the theme of childhood and associated themes of the English fairy tale, which went through its ‘golden age’ in the abovenamed period. The code also comprises motifs of social change and other related issues. All parts of the Edwardian code are found in A. Byatt’s novel Childhood`s Book (2009). The novel covers the period from 1895 to the end of the Great War. It represents a tangle of many fates, each of which is concerned with the conflicts of the era and the general atmosphere of the Edwardian time. The characters are united by the desire to formulate a clear goal of their existence and specific personal qualities determined by the artistry of the era. In the 21st century, the ‘Edwardian code’ is found in non-fiction literature, in TV series and in the aspiration of the national consciousness to the value orientations of Edwardianism. A typical example is J. Nicolson’s The Perfect Summer: England 1911, Just Before the Storm (2008). The Perfect Summer chronicles a glorious English summer a century ago, when the world was on the cusp of irrevocable change. Through the tight lens of four months, Juliet Nicolson’s rich storytelling gift rivets us with the sights, colors, and feelings of the bygone era. This book is a vividly rendered glimpse of the twilight of the Edwardian era. The commercial success of the novels with the Edwardian code reflects the interest of the reading public to it. The goal-setting required in this code and its distinct axiology evidence the over­coming of postmodern moral relativism. The author of the paper makes an assumption about the formation of ‘Neo-Edwardianism’ in the modern culture of Great Britain.

The feedback on the Slavophile theory of the Hussite movement in the Czech non-fiction historical literature (before 1918)

This article deals with the reflection of Czech historians and political writers on the works of Russian Slavophilehistorians about the Hussite movement. The apologists of the Slavophile concept (such as P. Novikov and A. Th. Hilferding) defended the idea of the succession between Orthodoxy and the Hussite movement, supposing that Orthodoxy was brought to Czechia by Cyril and Methodius. This conception remained highly unpopular among the Czech authors. The professional Czech historians, such as J. Kalousek and J. Goll indicated that the information on such continuity is first found in the sources only starting from the mid-16th century, and noted that the communion in both forms was also spread in the West. The Czech authors that were studying the Russian Thought of the 19th century, such as P. Durdík and J. Perwolf, saw this concept as a mere transplantation of the contemporary Slavophile ideology into the past. The Catholic authors headed by A. Lenzrevealed numerous differences between the Hussite and Orthodox creeds.It was only J. V. Kalaš to advocate the Slavophile concepts, but this was caused by his uncritical acceptance of Russian Slavophile literature. The rest of the Czech authors were united in the criticism of the Slavophile publications that was caused by the national solidarity of the Czech intelligentsia and by the weak academic grounds of this theory.

ЖАНРОВІ МОДИФІКАЦІЇ РОМАНУ МИРОСЛАВА ДОЧИНЦЯ «ВІЧНИК»

The purpose of the article is an overview of the genre features of the novel «Vichnyk» by M. Dochynets. This is due to the fact that today most of the works are a synthetic combination of genre matrices and get the definition of the common term «novel» in tradition, being rather the examples of «novel thinking». Therefore, it is necessary to develop a matrix of analysis of art works from the standpoint of genre features and their synthetic combination, which became possible in this article due to the using of the unity of historical-literary, biographical methods, critical analysis of sources, etc. It is proved that the novel by M. Dochynets clearly shows the signs of parable and Robinsonade. Such features of parable as the allegorical images, the philosophical and didactical character of the narrative, the presence of the hero, who is the bearer of the didactic beginning, the orientation towards spirituality, that are also inherent to the novel «Vichnyk», especially to those parts that are highlighted in the text in italics. It is noticed that moralizing maxims are immanent, natural in this novel and reveal the deep philosophical meaning of the personality’s being. It was discovered that the genre of Robinsonade and the work by M. Dochynets are combined with a special adventure plot, the specifics first-person narrative and a deep belief in the invincibility of the spirit and the victory of the human mind. The image of the protagonist of the novel, Andrii Voron, is presented in a dynamics that changes during all trials, gets a vital wisdom and learns to exist in the bosom of nature. The nature is not only a background for the events of the novel, but also one of the main images of the text. In addition, the core component of the work is the confessional nature of the narrative, especially since the author himself gave a subtitle to his novel «Confession on the Pass of the Spirit». However, the genre features of confession are not clearly expressed; it is rather intonation, which creates the effect of the believability of Andrii Vorona’s story, given in the writer’s book, which leads to the trust in his didactical maxims. Presence of genre signs of confession in the novel «Vichnyk», as well as ones of philosophical novel, artistic biography, book-adviser, etc. allow to enroll it both to artistic texts and to non-fiction literature.

Frequent Reading for Pleasure is Associated with Decreased Burnout in Palliative Care Clinicians

Clinician burnout in hospice and palliative care (HPC) has potentially widespread negative consequences including increased clinical errors, decreased professionalism, decreased staff retention, and decreased empathy. Although institutional-sponsored mitigation strategies continue to develop, most burnout reduction begins with the individual clinician. Reading non-medical literature has been associated with increased empathy, but no studies on the effect of reading on burnout have previously been conducted. To assess reading patterns of practicing HPC clinicians and determine the association between non-medical reading and burnout. We surveyed members of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine regarding reading practices, exposure to non-medical literature, and burnout symptoms. Burnout measures of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were assessed by the validated 2 single-item Maslach Burnout Inventory. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate regression. Seven hundred nine members -- mostly physicians (77%) or fellows (9%) -- responded to the survey (15% response rate). Burnout was associated with younger age and fatigue (p<0.05) but not clinical discipline, practice setting, undergraduate major, hours spent reading per week, or preference of fiction vs. nonfiction literature. In a multivariate logistical regression controlling for respondent age, clinical discipline, and presence of fatigue, consistent readers (reading 1-3 books per week) had decreased odds of burnout compared to inconsistent readers (reading none to part of a book per week) (OR 0.61, CI 0.38-0.96, p<0.05). A secondary analysis examining various domains of burnout indicates that consistent reading was associated with decreased emotional exhaustion (OR=0.58, CI 0.36-0.93, p<0.05) but not depersonalization. Among HPC clinicians, reading non-medical literature on a consistent basis may have a protective effect against burnout, specifically emotional exhaustion. Future studies should prospectively evaluate this potential positive impact.
