If really “without school and inheritors”?

The paper analyzes the return of Bohdan Ihor Antonych’s name to the literature after several decades of suppression and prohibition by the Soviet totalitarian regime. The author also focuses on the interpretation of the poet’s work in Ukrainian and foreign literary studies.
 The researcher points out the following historical and cultural factors: partial liberalization of the communist regime in the Soviet Union; high appreciation of Antonych’s work by leading poets and literary critics in Ukraine and the Ukrainian diaspora; translations of works into foreign languages, in particular, Slavic ones; the influence of the poet’s work on the generations of the 1960s—1980s.
 Special attention is paid to the cooperation of American scholars and translators Watson Kirkconnell and Constantine H. Andrysyshen in translating the Ukrainian poet’s texts into English.
 The researcher traces the changes in views on Antonych’s poetry: the claims that he was a talented poet who did not have time to fully realize his talent due to his early death were eventually substituted by recognition of his poetry’s kinship with the works of Western European modernist poets such as R. M. Rilke, T. S. Eliot, F. G. Lorca, Cz. Miłosz.
 The paper also highlights the discussion on the stylistic dominant of Antonych’s poetry and focuses on the elements of different literary movements, namely futurism, imagism, and surrealism. It is emphasized that the poet was not only interested in the issues of style but also shaped the different styles of the time with his special features. He characterized impressionism as the relation of color to light, pointed out the idea of movement in futurism, focused on the geometric outlines of real objects in cubism, appreciated pure harmony of geometric patterns in suprematism. Moreover, Antonych’s poetry was related to creating myths, based on the tradition of the national folklore worldview.

Hermeneutika Hadist: Studi Pemikiran Muhammad Iqbal

Iqbal is a reformer who is unique. He is a talented poet, also a creative philosopher. He is also recognized in history that his thoughts are indeed brilliant. Especially in his thoughts about the decline and progress of Muslims who have an influence on the reform movement in Islam. Iqbal has paid close attention to what is happening to Muslims in India and Pakistan in particular, generally the Muslim world as a whole. Iqbal's study of the Hadith is based on the situation and conditions of society that developed at that time. This view, amidst the tugging of the position of the Hadith as a source of law between Muslims on the one hand, and the Orientalists on the other hand which continues to this day. Of course the intentions and understandings departing from the study are also different. Muslims are based on a great sense of responsibility towards the teachings of Islam. Whereas Orientalists study it only for scientific purposes, sometimes even just to look for weaknesses of Islamic teachings.

Imadeddin Nasimi is one of the mystical poets of the 14th century as a continuation of the Hurufism movement among Turkish poets. From Nasimi's point of view, ontology has been explained based on theological thought that everything is from the first force, which is equivalent to the whole new soul of the Platonists. The first appearance and the highest manifestation is the originality, the "Word" or the "Word of God," which is called the holy word. A similar view of the origins of Plotinus can found in the poems of other talented medieval and contemporary poets. Nasimi appropriately evaluated in both Eastern and Western literature. Therefore, 2019 was declared the year of Nasimi by UNESCO. He tried to understand God, not through fear, but love and conscience.

The history of B. Sadovskoy’ cooperation in the journals "Vesy" and "Zolotoe runo"

B. Sadovskoy led an active literary activity in the first half of the twentieth century. In 1904 the editor of “Vesy” V. Bryusov invited the young writer to collaborate in the journal. B.

LIBRARY OF DAGESTAN SCHOLAR AND EDUCATOR ISMAILDIBIR FROM SHULANI (1863–1912)

The Dagestan enlightenment of pre-Soviet time is a unique, large-scale and multidimensional phenomenon. Dagestan scientists carry out a lot of scientific work, covering this topic in their research. The historical period of the second half of the XIX - the beginning of the XX century in Dagestan is characterized by the rapid development of the printing industry, educational movement and scientific thought. Muhammad Mavraev, Abusufyan Akayev, Ali Kayayev, Ismaildibir from Shulani and other Dagestan scientists, their number is great, contributed to the cultural development of the country. The task of studying the cultural heritage of the Dagestan peoples remains relevant.
 There are no special studies in the scientific literature devoted to Ismaildibir, one of the active figures in the field of education, a scientist and a talented poet. In order to draw up a creative portrait of the scientist and explore his book heritage, we made a scientific trip to the Shulani village in Gunib district of Dagestan. This article covers the results of archeographic work at the Ismaildibir Library.The article provides information about the life and activity of the Dagestan scholar and educator Ismaidibir from Shulani and gives a description of handwritten and old-print works from his personal book collection. There are no special scientific works dedicated to Ismaildibir, one of the active figures in the field of education, a scientist and a talented poet. The descriptions of the books include the verified data on authors, works, translations of out-of-text records, output data. The Ismaildibir Library from Shulani attests to the diverse scientific interests of its owner. Ismaildibiru was available both handwritten works by Arab authors, and texts published in lithographic and typographical ways by medieval authors, and comments, supracommentaries written by scientists, his contemporaries. The significance of this scientist not only in his scientific work, but also in the fact that he was an active propagandist of knowledge, an educator. He saw his mission to popularize secular and spiritual knowledge, to promote Islamic values. In the article we sought to show the image of the Islamic scientist who developed in Dagestan in the second half of the Х1Х - the beginning of the 20th century.

(Re)writing Sappho: Navigating Sappho's (Posthuman) Poetic Identity in Ovid, Heroides 15

This article explores Ovid's Heroides 15 (the Epistula Sapphus) through a post-human feminist approach, engaging with the most recent scholarly debate on (Ovid's) Sappho's polysemous poetic language, polyphonic narrative, and gender fluidity. Drawing from recently published works that explore the intersections between posthumanism and antiquity, I show that Her. 15 is resituated within the 'posthuman turn' and accordingly reinterpreted as an expression of Ovid's and Sappho's poetic identity. Sappho's self-identification with her polymorphic poetry, assimilation into the natural world, and transitional sexual identity serve to both downplay and destabilize her role as a poetic subject, while at the same time enhancing her (and Ovid's) poetic creation. The idea of poetry as a self-shaping force is articulated by the agency that certain poetic objects (e.g., the letter, the poem, the verses), as well as other animate or inanimate natural elements (e.g., the branches and birds), hold within the epistle. Ovid has Sappho forego her poetic agency and question her literary skills; however, her poetic identity is also reaffirmed and strengthened precisely by the composition of her epistle. The displacement of the 'human' poet thus serves to enhance the centrality of the artistic, literary work. This dialectic between the limits of Sappho as a poet and the boundlessness of her poetry persists until—and reaches its peak at—the end of Her. 15, where Sappho anticipates her self-murder. Her (foretold) leap in the waters of the Leucadian Sea (217–220) can be interpreted both as a form of self-annihilation and as a means of stressing the permanence and timelessness of her own and Ovid's poetic talents.

Deotyma – „Dziesiąta muza” Norwida

This article attempts to recreate the image of Jadwiga Łuszczewska from the literary works and letters by Cyprian Norwid. The young improviser sparked controversy not only among the critics, but also among the Warsaw socialites in Romantic period. Norwid, however, considered her personality as original, modern and capable of refreshing Polish poetry. In his poems he describes her as “the tenth Muse” and compares her to Sappho, who was called exactly the same name by Plato in recognition of her poetic talent. Moreover, he depicts her in an idealized manner, like a contemporary sibyl who advises the nation on how to proceed in a tragic historical period. Norwid’s enthusiasm waned at the beginning of the 1860s when it became clear that the poetic works by Deotyma were becoming repetitive, constantly revisiting the same motives, ideas and aesthetic means, unable to go beyond the horizon defined at the onset of her career. He realized that behind the female figure he himself ennobled – as comforter, Samaritan, visionary, and statuesque Muse – there is a human being, imperfect and, in some aspects trivial, affected or even philistine.

The role of prof. Veli Khuluflu in the research of the epos “Koroglu”

The subject of research in this article was the activity in the field of koroglu study one of the prominent figures of Azerbaijan folklore – Veli Khuluflu. The article describes the activities of Veli Khuluflu in the field of koroglu study in several directions – the collection of the epos, the publication of the epos, the study of the epos, and finally the translation of the epos. The author used the method of researching the scientific heritage of Veli Khuluflu in the aspect of the work done in this area. As you know, Koroglu is a semi-mystical folk hero who belongs to the second half of the 16th century. The image of Koroglu can be found in the folklore of many Turkic peoples. A hero named Koroglu is one of the common motives of the folklore of the Turkic peoples. Legends and traditions of some Turkic peoples say that his mother became pregnant from the light and was buried alive. Koroglu was born in a grave and survived by sucking on the breast of his dead mother. The Azerbaijani Turks call the hero Koroglu (the son of the blind man), since his father’s eyes were gouged out. There are different versions, adapted in different countries. The concept of blindness includes not only blindness, but also invisibility. Heroes become invisible for protection. Khidir is sometimes called blind because he does not need eyes. In oral folk literature, the events associated with the name of Koroglu have become legendary and are reflected in the epic “Koroglu”. The historical line of the series of events and personalities of the epic is not broken, but the fact that Koroglu was a brave warrior, a talented poet and ashug, the author of beautiful couplets, has been preserved as a historical fact.

Poetical World of Borys Hrinchenko

The paper focuses on the fi gurative, style, and genre characteristics of B. Hrinchenko’s poetry. Three stages have been distinguished: early poetry of the 1880s, poems of the 1890s, and those of the1900s. The fi rst period is marked by a thematic and formal imitation of T. Shevchenko, I. Manzhura, V. Zabila, etc., and yet the originality of poetic talent, attested by the poems “The Tiller”, “Sad Views”, and others, is evident. In terms of genre and style, the civic poetry prevails, in which the leading motive is work, sometimes interpreted as commitment to the benefit of others (1880s), and sometimes as an immanent internal need of an individual (1900s). The researcher traces the dynamics of the lyric hero, being defi ned mostly by the moral imperative. In B. Hrinchenko’s poetry of the late 1890s, philosophy and sensuality deepened, and as a consequence the lyrical hero changed; the strong-willed personality with a neo-romantic outlook emerges. The topicality of neo-romantic ideas for the poet is indicated by the interpretation of the motive of spiritual leadership, as a feature that characterizes someone who is able to elevate others to his level.
 The syncretism of the types of artistic understanding of reality is evident in Hrinchenko’s poems. The poems of the 1880s and 1890s were dominated by the positivist worldview, and the poetry at the turn of the century was rather focused on the subjective and emotional, neo-romantic perception of the world, although not devoid of the ‘two worlds’ concept of the late romanticism.
 Meditative and epical lyrics noticeably prevail in Hrinchenko’s genre system, due both to the thematic material and the focus on the reader. The most frequent were reflection, appeal, invective, and song genres, mainly romance, for example “The Soul is Burning, and the Heart is Singing.” Knowledge of folklore, interest in the Cossack era and the history of the Cossack state gave Hrinchenko material for his works; he wrote about twenty poems interpreting the history of Ukraine.

Insights on the history of tuberculosis: Novalis and the romantic idealization

Tuberculosis affected the world population since ancient times, being known to Hippocratic physicians. It was not completely understood and it was difficult to manage. From the eighteenth century onwards, it became highly devastating with a high sociological impact until Robert Koch (1843–1910) identified the pathogenic agent of tuberculosis, in 1882. His discovery enabled a progressive identification and control of infectious diseases. Novalis, born Georg Philipp Friedrich von Hardenberg (1772–1801), an early German Romantic poet, struck by the suffering and death of his fiancée, Sophie von Kühn (1782–1797), who died of a liver abscess as a complication of pulmonary tuberculosis, is a major founder of the romantic idealizing of the disease which lasted until the control of the endemic. Current medicine tends to identify the condition which struck Novalis as cystic fibrosis. However, his name will always be associated with the white plague, the feared and ethereal disease that killed and inspired young artists and talented poets.

About Autograph of T. Shevchenko’s Poem “Once I Was Walking at Night”

The article reveals the history of the autograph of Taras Shevchenko’s poem “Once I Was Walking at Νight” (“Yakos’-to yduchy unochi”). The poet wrote it in the autumn of 1861. The existence of this autograph was reported by Dmytro Zatyrkevych, who found it while sorting the archive of his late father Ivan Zatyrkevych. The latter himself was a talented poet and began to write poetry being a student of the classical school in Nizhyn. His fable “Puddle” was published in the journal “Osnova” and became popular thanks to the famous Ukrainian actress Hanna Zatyrkevych-Karpinska. She advised the fable to Marko Kropyvnytskyi, who repeatedly and with constant success read it from the stage. Having graduated from Nizhyn, Ivan Zatyrkevych became a military man and participated in the Crimean War. In 1861 he served in Orel, where on May 2 the farewell procession with the body of Taras Shevchenko came. Ivan Zatyrkevych took an active part in preparing the farewell ceremony in Orel. In gratitude, Ivan Lazarevskyi, who was the main organizer of the mournful procession in honor of Taras Shevchenko in Orel, presented the autograph of the poem “Once I Was Walking at Night” to Zatyrkevych. At the top of the autograph, there is an inscription made by an unknown hand: “Autograph by T. H. Shevchenko presented to me by Lazarevskyi in Orel.” A comparison of the handwritings made it possible to establish that this inscription belongs to Ivan Zatyrkevych. In the summer of 1911 Dmytro Zatyrkevych announced his ȇnd to Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and then offered selling an autograph, as he needed money. Apparently, Mykhailo Hrushevskyi agreed and bought an autograph. Hrushevsky published fragments of the correspondence with Dmytro Zatyrkevych and selected poetic and prose works of Ivan Zatyrkevych within the article “One from Nizhyn” in the journal “Literaturno-Naukovyi Visnik”.

Из истории комплектования и описания Фонда 8 Научного архива КалмНЦ РАН (по описи В. О. Поляева)

Introduction. The collection of written monuments contained in the Kalmyk Scientific Center of the RAS has been consistently enriched throughout over half a century. For the time being there is no detailed description of its creation (formation). Valuable sources of information here are different inventory lists, certificates, descriptive reports, lists of deliveries, and donation cover letters by individuals who submitted their personal rare materials to the institute. The inventory lists – according to which the first texts arrived in the early 1960s when the institute was reestablished after the return of the Kalmyks – attest to that the manuscript collection has been developed step by step. The list of donators includes such names as Tyugmyud Gavji, E. Ubushiev, N. Davurov, V. Artaev, etc. Some texts were discovered by employees of the Institute during expeditions. Materials in classical scripts contained in the Archive of Kalmyk Scientific Center may serve as a tremendous research field for academic historiographers. The former had been collected and preserved by Kalmyk ‘lay’ gelongs (Tyugmyud Gavji, E. Ubushiev and others), remaining a living evidence that the Kalmyk Buddhist tradition did survive the whole of the dramatic 20th century. Goals. The paper provides another insight into written sources delivered to the Archive of Kalmyk Scientific Center (then Kalmyk Research Institute of History, Philology and Economics) by E. Ubushiev (Agvan Tabdan). The article describes and analyzes the inventory list of the gZungs ’dus collection from E. Ubushiev’s personal archives – through the use of records by V. Polyaev (Chumatov) (1953–2013), then a junior research associate to have described texts received from the Kalmyk Buddhist priest. Such inventory recording is the first stage within a series of arrangements aiming to investigate a certain writing (or collected writings) since somewhat detailed description, assessment of significance of a text, representation of its contents, accurate classification and other aspects may be critical to further evaluations of its cultural-and-historical weight, to its further introduction into contemporary cultural discourse. Results. The work concludes the tremendous merit of the enthusiastic Buddhist priests who donated their personal archives (containing manuscript monuments) was that – according to wills of theirs – the materials were delivered to the academic institute since they believed those were Mongolists and Tibetologists who could transmit corresponding messages to other researchers and Buddhist-minded citizens, and thus preserve the wisdom for the people in general. And this was well completed by the Orientalist V. Polyaev. The presented inventory record characterizes him as an accomplished and erudite specialist with expertise in Tibetan and somewhat bright poetic translation talent. The reviewed documents also illustrate the institute’s archive keeping activities were held at a high professional level, and the directorate showed great interest in the preservation of the Kalmyk Buddhist heritage.
