Themes of War in modern clothing Culture of Ukrainians

The article is devoted to the study of the content of prints on patriotic T-shirts that appeared after the full-scale aggression of Russia against Ukraine in 2022 or were developed earlier, but their informative reading has been updated. The source base consisted of offers for purchasing patriotic T-shirts on the websites of both manufacturers of such products and companies engaged in the sale of such goods. In the course of the study, the monitoring of posts on social networks «Facebook», «Telegram» was carried out, which discussed the advertisement of T-shirts with a patriotic theme or discussed the attitude of consumers to such products. Men’s, women’s and children’s Tshirts were taken into account. The study of contemporary patriotic prints is considered on the theoretical basis of the functioning of Ukrainian internet memes. Most T-shirt prints are the final stage of the meme life cycle, when the most successful ideas become an illustrative element of consumer products, including clothing. In addition, a participant observation of the clothing culture of the participants of actions in support of Ukraine in Budapest during the spring and summer of 2022 was conducted. The communicative and informational content of images on T-shirts was chosen as the subject of the study. The main ethnocultural themes presented on the prints were systematized and characterized. The first topic concerns the representation of the statehood and sovereignty of Ukraine through the state symbols such as the coat of arms, the flag, map outlines, and the inscriptions «Ukraine» in different languages. The second topic concerns the idea of the heroic Cossacks, which is an important historical myth in the formation of Ukrainian identity. The third topic reveals the aspects of femininity in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the fourth – images of warrior-defenders. The fifth topic presents modernized representations of cultural and intellectual figures. Based on the importance of conveying to the general public a call to support Ukraine, we have selected the sixth topic of messages to the world. The seventh topic is the most variable, as it presents events as a chronicle of the war.

Patriotic discourse in the publications of humanities scientists of the Republic of Dagestan

The article presents the results of a review of publications in scientific periodicals on the topic of patriotism, written by authors from the Republic of Dagestan who are specialists in the fields of humanities and social sciences. It is noted that the scientific discourse on patriotism is primarily developed in the republic by social philosophers, educators and sociologists. Most authors of the examined publications understand patriotism as a unifying idea aimed at uniting Russians based on the constitutional principle of equality of all citizens, regardless of their regions of residence, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The issue of patriotism itself is closely linked by the authors to the formation and strengthening of the all-Russian identity. Accordingly, the main problem aspects of the patriotic discourse in Russia, as seen by Dagestani authors, include questions of inclusivity within the modern Russian nation, the ability of the concept of the Russian nation to encompass and embrace the diversity of regional, ethno-cultural, and religious identities of Russians. According to the philosophical authors, the development of patriotic discourse in the public sphere should contribute to the introduction of such fundamental values as humanism, citizenship, statism, social justice, ethnic and religious tolerance, a high standard of living, pride in the country, its history, achievements in various spheres of life, and high culture into the mass consciousness of Russian youth. In the works of Dagestani sociologists, within the framework of the patriotic theme, the subjects of research include patriotic attitudes in the mass consciousness of Dagestan's residents, the relationship between civil, regional, ethnic, and religious identities in the context of the influence of both unifying and divisive factors, including various versions of radical Islamism, regionalism, and ethnic nationalism. Recent thematic publications indicate an increased level of activity by government authorities and the public in Dagestan in the patriotic education of the republic's youth. However, alongside the promotion of patriotism, efforts should also be directed towards improving the quality of life for the country's population.

The shift in World War I poetry from patriotic theme to the depiction of the dark realities of the war

Does patriotism work in persuasion across countries? Consumer response to ads with a patriotic theme in South Korea and the U.S.

This study aims to explore how consumers' chronic and momentarily activated national identity affect their responses to patriotism-themed ads across countries. Specifically, this study examines (1) how consumer response to patriotism-themed ads varies across cultures in terms of chronic level of national identification; (2) how the activation of national identity influences consumer response to patriotism-themed ads and how this influence varies across cultures. Findings from this study suggest that consumers' cultural orientations influenced their responses to patriotism-themed ads. And, this influence was mediated by the chronic level of national identification. Specifically, Koreans (collectivistic) were likely to respond to patriotism-themed ads more favorably than were Americans (individualistic) due to their higher level of national identification. Results from this study further showed that, when national identity was made salient through an identity prime, consumers' evaluation of the patriotism-themed ads were increased significantly, regardless of their cultural backgrounds. However, such an effect of national identity activation was found to be significantly stronger among Koreans than among Americans.

The patriotic poetry of Adrian Păunescu. An experiment of reframing history

In her article "The patriotic poetry of Adrian Păunescu. An experiment of reframing history" Mihăilă Anamaria discusses the different aspects showed by the patriotic poetry of Adrian Păunescu, especially after 1989, but in comparison with its anterior forms. Following the concepts of Maurizio Viroli, this work intends to demonstrate the permanency of ideology in writing and critical reception, framing the historical truth and the problem of ethic view. The patriotic theme shows the social imperatives and the rhetorical changes in addition to the époque. Păunescu’s essays of “automistification”, his “censored” volumes or the interviews and the documents hidden by the Party and illustrated after 1990 prove, at the end, a modus vivendi under communism.

ПОНЯТИЕ ‘РОДИНА’ В АРАБСКОМ УСТНОМ НАРОДНОМ И ПОЭТИЧЕСКОМ ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ

The article investigates the Patriotic theme and the concept of ‘homeland’ in oral and folk poetry of the Arabs from pre-Islamic period of Ignorance to our time. The concept of a ‘native home, native land’, a sense of patriotism is known to, moreover, inherent in all peoples. However, their perception, forms of expression, depth, and prevalence may vary from ethnic group to ethnic group, from nation to nation, from person to person. Even a historical epoch can influence these concepts. In Arabic, the concept of ‘homeland’ has several characteristics. It is a territorial, or spatial, sign associated with the designation of the place of birth or residence. Moreover, there are socially marked signs representing deep awareness of unity, tribal spirit, loyalty to family (tribe). They are closely connected with moral values inherent in Arab mentality not only in traditions and the historical past but also in modern real life. There is also an emotive metaphorical designation of the concept ‘homeland’. Finally, it is characterized by ideological and political ideas evoked by the formation of the Arab national idea, the struggle for independence and the construction of independent states. The author shows how this concept, being always important, has been changing throughout the history of the development of Arab society. For the ancient Arabs, the concept ‘home, native land’ meant more their own tribe, place of pastures. Being in the Western areas of the Arab Caliphate, people from the East yearned for the Euphrates valley and palm groves on its banks. Later on, the concept ‘homeland’ in the mentality of the majority of the Arab peoples was associated not only with the homeland, but mostly with bloody wars with foreigners for freedom and independence. In Arabic poetry and folklore, the inability to live freely and act in accordance with the traditions of their ancestors on their land is often perceived by contemporary members of the Arabic intelligentsia as a national humiliation and oppression, crying out for vengeance and liberation. On the other hand, homeland is also a matter of pride for glorious achievements of the past, for the heroes who died in the struggle for their ideals, for their beauty and uniqueness. Therefore, the idea of protection of the native land, readiness to sacrifice for the sake of life permeates Arabic poetry, both ancient and modern.

This study examined how ethnic minorities negotiate between ethnic and national identities and respond to ads that intend to appeal to consumers through patriotism.

“They’re Coming to America”: Immigration, Settlement, and Citizenship

Released in 1980, Neil Diamond’s hit single “Coming To America ends with an interpolation of the traditional patriotic song, “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” Because of its patriotic theme, the song has been used in a variety of contexts, including as the theme song for Michael Dukakis’s 1988 presidential campaign.

Propertius: Elegies Book IV (review)

Reviewed by: Propertius: Elegies Book IV Elaine Fantham Gregory Hutchinson. Propertius: Elegies Book IV. Cambridge Greek and Latin Authors. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006. Pp. xi, 258. $90.00 (hb.). ISBN 0-521-81957-1; $32.99 (pb.). ISBN 0-521-52561-6. Propertius’ last book offers elegy at its most vivid and varied, a feast for the reader’s emotions and imagination. For me it is the high point of Roman elegy, which Ovid can surpass in wit and metrical skill, but not in passion or power. So it was welcome news that Hutchinson’s commentary on book IV was due out in Cambridge University Press’ affordable paperback series, especially since Hutchinson was adding to his own considerable experience as a close reader and critic of Latin texts the fruit of his consultations with Stephen Heyworth, editor of the forthcoming Oxford Classical Text of Propertius. In recent years, teachers of Propertius were able to share with their students Camps’ commentaries on individual books (book 4 in 1965), then Richardson’s useful commentary covering all four books (1978; repr. 2006), and most recently the bold insights of George Goold’s Loeb Classical Library text and translation. But Propertius, whether from his abrupt dislocations of thought or later dislocations and distortions in the tradition, is a tough challenge to editors (Housman never brought himself to publish his own text), however stimulating for students with fewer scruples about Latinity. The poet’s self-irony and pathos, along with his instinct for dramatic characterization, reaches a peak in his representation of women virtuous (4.3 and 4.11), vicious (4.4 and 4.5), and recriminatory and tempestuous (4.7 and 4.8), and of comic figures like the transvestite Vertumnus and Hercules. Innocence of Latin usage can even help to engage students’ imaginations. But they do need help with syntax, and unfortunately Hutchinson has sacrificed more elementary notes, not just to previous guidance on Propertius’ Callimachean and Augustan literary models (on which Hutchinson is superb) or on artistic and cultural context, but to textual discussions which can only intimidate the new reader. This is probably why the Loeb Library asks editors to avoid obelizing, and Richardson sought to be “as conservative as is consistent with the production of readable poetry, keeping to a minimum obeloi and bracketed interpolations,” and “transposing only single couplets within a single poem” (21). What Hutchinson has given us is not a Green and Yellow student-oriented edition, but a commentary more fitted to Cambridge’s scholarly Orange series, like the admirable Ciris of his teacher, Oliver Lyne. Thus, Hutchinson’s introduction compresses to a minimum Propertius’ place in the history of elegy and his own poetic evolution, and concentrates on exploring the continuity or discontinuity, the contrasts and echoes, offered by successive poems. For the teacher this will be as stimulating as the extraordinary range of cross-references to both ancient poetry and secondary [End Page 563] discussions; but here too lack of space prevents Hutchinson from quoting parallel phrases or arguments, and many of his modern sources will only be available in the richest libraries. The space consumed by Hutchinson’s scrupulous doubts about points of texts has been stolen from more basic material. As early as 4.1.8, Hutchinson obelizes Tiberis nostris advena †bubus erat†, but his substitute bubus iit (the verb form is not found in Propertius) is no improvement. Or take 4.4: Page 38 (4.55–82) starts with an unseemly emendation (dic . . . pariamne? “shall I give birth”), prints three obeloi and excises 73–74, although the lines neatly contrast the city’s first anniversary with the primitive pastoral Parilia: “this began as the first birthday for the walls, annual feasting for the shepherds and sport in the city.” And Hutchin-son simply drops 4.17–18 without trying to find it another position in the elegy. Hutchinson rightly questions iniustae praemia sortis (Propertius sees Tarpeia’s fate as well deserved) and his proposal incestae . . . amoris fits perfectly. But could any scribe garble such an obvious idea? Instead I wish Hutchinson had discussed more fully how Propertius handles the unelegiac but patriotic theme of combat in 4.6 and 4.10...
