Grotto as Neo-Victorian Heterotopia: Sonia Overall’s The Realm of Shells (2006) and Essie Fox’s Elijah’s Mermaid (2012)

News of the discoveries of natural grottos filled the pages of newspapers and journals throughout the nineteenth century. Additionally, artificial grottos opened regularly for the entertainment of the public and were commonplace in the cultural and literary products of the period. In this article, I analyse neo-Victorian appropriations of nineteenth-century grottos as Foucauldian heterotopias through two case studies: Sonia Overall’s The Realm of Shells (2006) and Essie Fox’s Elijah’s Mermaid (2012). Overall’s and Fox’s novels illustrate how the heterotopic features of the Victorian grotto are expanded in neo-Victorian fiction as counter-spaces of emplacement that enable heterochronic forms of resistance.

Battle of Stalingrad: Reflection of Events and Evaluation in Turkish Press during Period of World War II

This article delves into the representation of the Battle of Stalingrad in the pages of the Turkish press. Drawing upon regional Turkish newspapers from the years of World War II, materials shedding light on the Battle of Stalingrad are introduced into scholarly discourse for the first time. The study reveals that the Turkish government managed to navigate the tense diplomatic atmosphere of the wartime period effectively. However, this led to censorship and restrictions imposed on newspapers tasked with providing accurate information to the population during the early war years. Following the Red Army’s success on the Stalingrad front, cover-age of war-related issues in the Turkish press shifted significantly in favor of the USSR, becoming more objective. The novelty of the research lies in a fresh perspective on the research question posed. New sources from Turkish periodicals are introduced into scholarly circulation. The authors conclude that Turkey’s policy of diplomacy duality had a clear impact on newspaper pages, subjecting them to strict censorship and requiring alignment with state directives.

Sewing Pouch on the Run: Lenngren, Text Reuse, and Recontextualizations This article is tracing a newspaper poem, originally published in 1795 in the section for lost and found, and reprinted repeatedly in newspapers in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The poem describes a girl who has lost a pouch with her sewing kit on a walk through Stockholm. The one who returns it is promised two sugar breads and a kiss as a reward. It was published anonymously but Anna Maria Lenngren was later identified as the author. Following the poem from paper to paper reveals a network of text reuse where texts were borrowed, edited and recontextualized. Several papers all around Sweden published the verse as an anonymous advertisement from 1837 to 1868. Yet, among other things, the editors also changed the place name mentioned in the poem to make it seem as if it was written by a local girl. Another version of the text was widely circulated in papers from 1887 to 1917. This version was truer to the original wording of the poem, but it was published along with an anecdote identifying Lenngren herself as the girl in the text, making it part of her own marriage proposal. This time the poem was placed in the section for humorous titbits, among gossip and funny stories. The different versions of the poem illustrate how newspapers could function as a medium for literature in the nineteenth century. The practice of text reuse had the potential of maximizing the readership but could also mean that authors lost control over their words. When poems became “fugitive verses” in the network of newspapers, they entered a fluid state where authorships were destabilized and texts were recontextualized to fit on the newspaper page.

Nigerians’ perception of newspaper framing of COVID-19 stories and adherence to government’s containment policy (2020–2021)

There is a known fact that the public depends largely on the media for information. However, such information might not have been perceived rightly as sent by the media. Hence, the objective of this study is to examine the extent to which information on the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic containment policy flows from the government to the public through the pages of newspapers. Aside from examining how these policies were framed, it seeks to also find out if Nigerians perceived the coverage by newspapers as relevant for them to comply with them. Adopting a descriptive methodological approach which systematically differs from most previous studies because substantial studies on the subject matter use qualitative methods. Findings reveal that Newspapers’ framing of COVID-19 stories does not correlate with public adherence to the government’s containment policy and the volume of newspaper coverage of COVID-19 stories does not correlate with public perception of the importance of the government containment policy on the disease. The study concluded that even though advancement in technology has given rise to the use of other media such as social media, the efficacy/potency and relevance of the newspaper cannot be brushed aside despite this advancement. It is, however, recommended that further studies should be conducted to examine the challenges faced by press through Key Informant Interview (KII) in the carrying coverage on the COVID-19 pandemic in other to strike balance.

The movement of worker correspondents in the USSR in the 1920s–30s and their impact on the functioning of the newspaper.

The article examines the movement of worker and rural correspondents. Worker correspondents operated in cities, and rural correspondents worked in villages and rural areas. In addition, the movement of junior correspondents and pioneer correspondents began to appear. Ten years later, the state no longer needed such specialists. But, people’s correspondents continued to work in many newspapers. In the 1950s and 1960s the state tried to revive the work of worker correspondents. A number of documents were adopted that were supposed to help restore the worker correspondents movement, thereby improving the quality of the Soviet press. In the 1970s and 1980s worker correspondents actively wrote for the benefit of society and covered problems that worried Soviet citizens. In the 1990s and at the beginning of the 21st century worker correspondents practically disappeared from the pages of newspapers. Currently, some newspapers continue to publish readers’ letters. For example, in the newspaper “Gudok” there are columns “Letters” and “Worker Correspondents”. But it looks more like a tradition.

The topic of the liberation of Baku is on the pages of Azerbaijan newspaper

On May 28, 1918, immediately after the declaration of state independence, a friendship treaty was signed between the government of Azerbaijan and the Ottoman state. Article 4 of that agreement, signed in Batum on June 4, 1918, stipulated that military assistance would be provided to the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic if necessary. Taking advantage of this opportunity in the complex military and political situation, the government of the Republic officially appealed to the Ottoman state for military assistance. Based on that request, a limited number of Ottoman military forces were sent to Azerbaijan. With these forces, the Caucasian Islamic Army was created on the basis of the existing national military forces of Azerbaijan. The peak of the struggle of the Caucasian Islamic Army for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan was the liberation of Baku from the Armenian-Bolshevik and foreign forces on September 15, 1918. In order to study the history of the liberation of Baku from foreign forces, there is also interesting information on the pages of "Azerbaijan" and "Azerbaidjan" newspapers, which are the official press bodies of the government of Azerbaijan. The current article is devoted to the analysis of the information published on the "Azerbaijan" and "Azerbaidjan" pages about the liberation of Baku by the Caucasian Islamic Army.

Sędziowie na pierwszych stronach gazet w 2022 r. Przyczynek do medialnego obrazu sędziego

The study fits within the scope of research on the media image of judges, which is part of a larger media image of the world. The relevance of the subject of research results from the position and significance of judges for the functioning of society and the state, as well as the interdependence between the functioning of the profession of judge, its prestige and the so-called public opinion. The aim of the article is a reconstruction of the image of the judge (its properties and relationships between these properties), the carrier of which are front pages of newspapers. Having found it reasonable to restrict the source base to paper issues of national daily newspapers representative for the Polish newspaper market, issued in 2022, the following three titles have been analysed: “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna”, “Gazeta Wyborcza” and “Nasz Dziennik”. These analyses allowed to: identify the properties attributed to judges in each periodical and structure them; observe the identity of the linguistic measures and devices used in the newspapers in question to shape the image of the judge and concurrently the different nature of images of the judge shaped on the front pages of the newspapers under research; conclude that, in all the titles examined, the images of the judge as a personal embodiment of the court (which is not always properly differentiated) are not a reflection of reality, but an interpretation thereof, and are a collection of subjective and emotionally related characteristics.

The image of the Chechen War on the pages of the American daily newspaper The New York Times: headline review

The subject of the research in the article is the image of the First and Second Chechen Wars, created by journalists of The New York Times newspaper in the 1990s and reflecting the views of the American democratic public. The subject of the study is the headlines of articles related to this topic in the American daily newspaper The New York Times. At the end of the 20th century, the periodical press continued to play a significant role in public life, including shaping the news agenda and creating the image of certain events. Often, journalists sought to impose their vision of Russian politics on the reader. Reputable publications, avoiding the techniques of the "yellow press", used more subtle and unobvious manipulative forms. Such manipulations include the newspaper's choice of lexical units with a certain connotation and the frequency of their use. In this study, the author attempts to explicate the hidden information that is embedded in the headlines of The New York Times. To analyze the information identified by the author in the headlines of The New York Times newspaper, the article used methods such as historical, comparative and quantitative content analysis. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the headlines of The New York Times newspaper of this period were first considered as a source of analysis of the transforming view of the American democratic press on the events of the First and Second Chechen Wars. According to the results of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: the image of the Chechen conflict of the 1990s in the American press has undergone significant changes. If the First Chechen War in The New York Times appears as a legitimate struggle of the Russian authorities against the separatist movement in Chechnya, albeit with a number of critical remarks, then the image of the Second Chechen War is radically different from the previous campaign. The newspaper presents the events of the Second Chechen Campaign as a new colonial war, while the emphasis was shifted towards criticizing the Russian leadership for violating human rights and freedoms in the Chechen Republic, as well as a direct impact on destabilization in the North Caucasus region.

Рыцарь печального образа. Пьеса М.А. Булгакова «Дон Кихот». Персонажи, актеры, современники о спектаклях

M.A. Bulgakov created his play Don Quixote, based on the novel by M. de Cervantes, by order of the Moscow Vakhtangov Theatre within a short period of time between finishing the novel The Master and Margarita and starting Batum, the play about I.V. Stalin. This article is devoted to two performances of M. Bulgakov’s Don Quixote staged at the Leningrad Pushkin Theatre (directed by V.P. Kozhich) and the Moscow Vakhtangov Theatre (directed by I.M. Rapoport). The author of the article compares the director’s concepts and interpretations of the principal parts of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza and analyses the critical reviews of contemporaries (A.K. Dzhivelegov, G.N. Boyadzhiev, N. Ya. Berkovsky, P.A. Markov, Yu. Yuzovsky) on the premieres. Of particular interest are the reviews of the Main Repertoire Committee members who were first to review the play, the discussion of the Moscow Vakhtangov Theatre performance which unfolded on the pages of The Vakhtangovets internal theatre newspaper, and the materials of the Vakhtangov Theatre artistic expert board meetings. The article highlights an appeal to the speeches of Stalin (in relation to his mention of the name of Don Quixote), examines and places in the historical and cultural context of the 1930s some later reviews on the premieres, which took place in the year of the 325th anniversary of Cervantes’ death, and reflections on the interpretations of the characters who were given a new life in M. Bulgakov’s play.

Le vieux jacaranda / The old jacaranda tree / Jacaranda, pohon tua!

The three language versions of Ian Campbell's poem series about the old jacaranda tree in a university coutryard presented here comprise a poem series in which he first wrote a poem in French in 1989, then an Indonesian language version which was published in the literary pages of an Indonesian newspaper (in Bandung, West Java) in 2004, and finally in English. Campbell regards this whole process as emblematic of his explorations in trilingual poetics, namely what does a 'concept'/poem idea look like if done in three of the languages with which he has some degree of written knowledge or fluency: English, French and Indonesian. This mirrors the three-pronged approach he took in an earlier edition of PORTAL - Vol. 14, No 1, April 2017, where the three language versions he wrote on a single theme were in English, Spanish, and Indonesian.

“Like Home”: Gerrymandering the Physical Public Sphere in Female Journalist Narratives

AbstractThe cultural figure of the female journalist most clearly embodies the opportunities given to, and the anxieties caused by, the period’s working women. As writers, they fought for rhetorical space in the pages of newspapers and periodicals, and as women, they faced social pressure to avoid the male-dominated physical public sphere or move within it under specific conditions. Even the increasing number of female journalists at the turn of the century could not guarantee their place within the newsroom itself, let alone the world beyond its walls. Instead, their struggle to stake a claim in physical public spaces manifested in fiction and nonfiction narratives as a search for “home,” or a place of belonging. This article explores the exclusively white-woman fiction and nonfiction narratives by and about nonwhite and nonmainstream women through a human geography lens, arguing that their shared central issue is the social “gerrymandering” of women and other overlapping marginalized groups out of physical public spaces, as well as the efforts of women to “redistrict” the social spheres into a comfortable public place in which everyone could thrive.

Writers vs censorship: Slovenian experience in the context of the 19th century

The review presents a collective monograph published in the scientific series “Studia literaria” of the Institute of Slovenian Literature and Literary Studies of the Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, which for the first time presents in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary manner the functioning of state censorship as an institution of official control over sociocultural life Slovenes in the territories of the Habsburg Empire, and then Austria-Hungary in the period from 1789 to 1918. Throughout the century under review, Slovenian writers, scientists, editors, publishers, critics, and journalists faced imperial censorship as the most important factor regulating their activities. The institution of censorship itself experienced a number of transformations during this period: from secularization and bureaucracy during the reign of Maria Theresa to the repressive aggressiveness of censorship practices under Franz Joseph. Based on a broad historical, cultural and literary context, the authors – literary scholars, historians, cultural scientists, museum workers, bibliographers – explore the influence of censorship on the process of national revival and the work of outstanding Slovenian authors A. T. Linhart, F. Prešeren, I. Cankar, publishing, periodicals, national theater. The monograph consists of a preface, an extensive introduction and two sections arranged in chronological order, the first of which covers the period from the Great French to the March Revolution, the second from the March Revolution to the First World War. Each section includes ten author’s chapters. The book is equipped with a name index, information about the authors and a detailed English-language summary, including article-by-article annotations. The exclusive archival illustrative material included in the book is very informative and useful: copies of documents, manuscripts, letters, newspaper pages, censorship reports, court decisions, geographical maps, extracts from library catalogs, etc., which not only serves as an evidence base, but also immerses the reader into the atmosphere of time.

The July 14 and the Cultural Transfers in the Franco-Brazilian Press at the Turn of 20th Century (1859-1922)

in 1890, the traditional date of the French National Festival, July 14, was included as a Brazilian holiday after the Proclamation of the Republic in Brazil (1889). The aim of this article is to analyze how the celebrations of the 14th of July, an event symbolizing the values of the Enlightenment and the feeling of Latinity, which had a strong impact on the Américas during the 19th century, was represented in the pages of Franco-Brazilian newspapers between 1859 and 1922. The hypothesis is that this ephemeris was a date of affi rmation for the French colony and became a symbol of its integration into the host country. Contrary to approaches that tend to emphasize France as a model for Brazil, the intention was to map out how cultural interactions and transfers took place between the two nations. As a result, we also noticed the widespread use of French symbols to politically legitimize the values of certain republican groups, which was used to the advantage of the French colony that was trying to establish itself in a nationalist and xenophobic environment

АНТИЧНЫЙ СТОИЦИЗМ В РУССКОЙ ПЕРИОДИКЕ XIX ВЕКА: ОСОБЕННОСТИ РЕЦЕПЦИИ

The scope of the study is the history of the reception of the Stoic legacy in Russian periodicals (journals, newspapers, collections of works) published during the 19th century. As to the character and content of publications written in the early 19th century and devoted to the Stoics, they continued the traditions of the 18th century. They retained edifying and entertaining character, demonstrating sometimes the lack of scholarship and originality. A landmark event that sparked an interest in the Stoics among educated Russian public was the broad discussion in a number of major journals and newspapers about the works of G. Boissier, C. Martha, and E. Renan translated into Russian or published in 1879–1881. In the last decades of the 19th century, periodicals in Russia contributed to the maintenance of interest in the philosophers of Portico as well. On the pages of journals and newspapers, moral strategies and religious views of the Stoics were extolled and overthrown; new translations of Stoic texts and critical works on the Stoics were actively discussed; certain aspects of Stoic ideas came into the focus of attention of publicists of various kinds – from revolutionaries to scholars and theologians. Due to the fact that periodicals had their own specificity, distinct from works written for scholars or students, they played an important role in shaping the reception of the Stoics in Russian society. They also contributed to the processes of forming a sound base for further Stoic (and more broadly, Ancient) studies in Russia in the early 20th century.

JOURNALISM OF MYRON КORDUBA ON PAGES OF «HROMADSKA DUMKA»

The purpose of the article is to analyze the journalism of M. Korduba on the pages of the Lviv newspaper «Hromadska Dumka». The research methodology is based on a combination of principles (historicism and objectivity) and methods (general scientific and special-historical) of scientific work. The scientific novelty of the article consists in an attempt to comprehend the phenomenon of historian’s journalistic heritage in «Hromadska Dumka» («Public Opinion»).Conclusions. The journalism of M. Korduba on the pages of «Hromadska Dumka» was devoted to the comprehensive analysis of the most important issues for Ukrainians of national life during the early 1920s. First of all, it was a difficult problem to overcome a wide range of consequences of the defeat of the national struggle in the Galician and Transdniestrian lands. The historian urges against national self-humiliation, showing the subjective and objective reasons for Ukrainians to lose their own statehood. He proposes to make the right conclusions from defeat and move further to gaining independence. M. Korduba convinces that Ukrainians have the fate of their own hands, soberly assess the unfavorable foreign political situation, and urges to step aside from internal conflicts and to give a clear signal to the western countries about the presence of a consolidated vision of the national perspective. As M. Korduba claims, only unity of the Ukrainian nation will gain the respect of European partners and will establish constructive relations. This optimism also marked articles on the relations of Ukrainians with their eternal rivals – the Polish and Russians. He stresses at the need to seek consensus with the neighbors by establishing an equitable national dialogue and rejecting the policy of escalating national atrocities. In general, the analyses of M. Korduba‘s writings prove him to be a talented publicist, who was able to diagnose the problems of Ukrainians of his times and offer effective recipes for national recovery.

Kathmandu-centric Dateline of Nepali Media

It has been almost a decade since the federal system started to be practiced in Nepal, ending the centralized governance system. But there is no reflection of federal structure in media sector. Kathmandu-based main stream media are still operating with centralized mindset. This study has employed theoretical framework of diversity in democratic governance. Qualitative approach has been used to analyse issue after key informant interviews and content analysis of four national dailies consisting government owned and privately operated. The study shows that the front pages of newspapers are widely dominated by the Kathmandu-centric bylines and the media contents are predominantly Kathmandu-centric.

White buildings, Red Dust: Brasilia in Ektachrome Colour

Brasília’s red dust is everywhere. Regularly tinting the white surfaces of Brasília’s modernist buildings red, a great effort of human labor is required every day to maintain their intended autonomy. Dust clouds first appeared in February 1957 due to massive earthworks and the clearing of the original landscape. While large tractors and caterpillars aggressively manipulated the ground following the forms of Lucio Costa’s Pilot Plan, a formless entropic dispersal of red soil microparticles filled the air. As the floating dust spread over Brasília’s construction site, it also filled the printed pages of newspapers and magazines. This article intends to discuss how dust tainted the representation of Brasília. As modernist architecture confronted the landscape, dust introduced a distortion in the pure image of Brasília, threatening not only the whiteness of the upcoming architectures but also contaminating drawings, cameras, lenses, printed photographs, clothes and lungs. While most of the architectural black and white photos of Brasília tended to produce clean images, the introduction of the newest color film Ektachrome by photojournalists made earthworks and dust visible. Associated with grainy reproduction in illustrated magazines and speckles of dust in the negatives themselves, the images enhanced the perception of Brasília’s total environmental design. If dust is, according to Richard Meyer, “an environment in miniature, a physical archive of our material surroundings,” this article analyzes how these fine particles of solid matter and their accidental reproduction, operated as visual dissonances that confuse the modern distinction between nature and culture.

Transformation of Assessment of the Neo-Union Movement in Volhynia on pages of the Lviv-Based Dilo newspaper

W 1924 roku w Polsce zaczęto szerzyć projekt neounijny zapoczątkowany przez Kościół katolicki w celu pozyskania ludności prawosławnej dawnego Cesarstwa Rosyjskiego. W następnym roku na terenie województwa wołyńskiego powstała pierwsza parafia neounijna. Ponieważ niemal we wszystkich przypadkach wyznawcy nowego wyznania rościli sobie pretensje do majątków lokalnych parafii prawosławnych, prowadziło to do konfliktów, o których z kolei było głośno w prasie. Jednym z najbardziej wpływowych periodyków ukraińskich w międzywojennej Polsce była wydawana we Lwowie gazeta „Diło”, nagłaśniająca m.in. kwestie religijne na Wołyniu. Począwszy od 1928 roku, redakcja „Diło” zaczęła publikować artykuły dotyczące rozwoju ruchu neounijnego w sąsiednim województwie. Jednocześnie gazeta broniła interesów ludności prawosławnej, choć wydawana była przez i przede wszystkim dla grekokatolików. Jedną z głównych przyczyn było wykluczenie ukraińskiego duchowieństwa greckokatolickiego z procesu szerzenia neounii. W ten sposób kontrolowane przez Ukraiński Sojusz Narodowo-Demokratyczny „Diło” walczyło o prawosławnych wyborców na Wołyniu. Począwszy od 1931 roku, po konsekracji biskupa Mikołaja Czarnieckiego, redakcja „Diło” zmieniła zdanie na temat neounii, która została uznana za zjawisko pozytywne, pozbawione wszelkich wad przypisywanych jej przez tę samą gazetę. Ludność prawosławna regionu nie była już postrzegana jako ofiara agresji zewnętrznej, a konwertytów nie przedstawiano jako najmniej moralnych członków lokalnej społeczności. Zmieniła się także ocena stanowiska władz. Choć w ostatnich latach II Rzeczpospolitej „Diło” w mniejszym stopniu interesowało się problematyką neounijną, to w sumie jego polityka wydawnicza tego okresu w większym stopniu odzwierciedlała utrwalone poglądy greckokatolickie na temat podporządkowania prawosławnych Ukraińców papieżowi, niż miało to miejsce przed 1931 rokiem.
