POETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMAGE OF UKRAINE IN O. DOVZHENKO'S FILM STORY “UKRAINE ON FIRE”

The appearance of the central image of Ukraine in the film story “Ukraine on fire” as the dominant character of insubordination and the tragedy of the suffering of the Ukrainian people. The image of Ukraine in O. Dovzhenko's film story “Ukraine on Fire” is an undisguised, tragic truth about the fate of the Ukrainian people during the Great Patriotic War. The years 1941–1942 remained in history as the most difficult hours of the great grief of the war for Ukraine. This is the time when all of Ukraine was occupied by fascists. Oleksandr Dovzhenko watched all these bloody events, it was the war that served as a prerequisite for writing a film story. In these dire and terrible times for Ukrainians, the author admitted that he created it “with fiery pain in his heart and burning suffering for Ukraine, which was in German hands, with painful regret and fear for its fate” (Dovzhenko, 1956: 102). Such methods as hermenevtic interpretation, descriptional, structural are used. The purpose is to discover deep meanings, carved in this film story, due to which stylistic devices author emphasizes the horror of the war.

The Need for Demonstrable Knowledge of the Origins of National Culture on the Example of Vasyl Krychevsky's Design Projects

The aim of the study. In the terrible times of the Russian invasion, which aims to erase the existence of the Ukrainian state even in a theoretical aspect, the issue of national Ukrainian identity comes to the fore with ultimate certainty. The enemy with inhuman cruelty not only kills peaceful Ukrainians, bombs cities and villages, but also tries to destroy cultural assets by destroying museums, schools, and cultural institutions. Only a deep knowledge of the origins of one’s national culture, their research, rethinking and transformation into the latest ideas in art, design and architecture can bring a modern Ukrainian artist to the heights of patriotic consciousness and a worthy level of artistic contribution. A look at the creative and life path of V. Krychevsky becomes evidence of the need to study the roots of national culture in the field of architecture, design of spaces and objects of graphic design of ornament, form-making on the example of his research in these areas. Research methods. Art history analysis of existing materials related to V. Krychevskyi and the application of research results for the understanding of modernity. Scientific novelty. This edition is a synthesis of biographical information about the artist with the personal impressions of the authors of the article from communication with people who were in direct contact with V. Krychevsky at work and in everyday life. The article also gives a holistic view of the combination of three directions of intellectual work in the personality of V. Krychevsky: research, artistic design, and scientific. It is such a synthesis of knowledge, skills and worldview stability that withstands the test of socio-political cataclysms, which gives an opportunity to show talent and create significant projects for the development of Ukrainian identity. Conclusions. As a result of the full-scale invasion of Russia, the idea of the need to create cultural products on a national basis, including design sphere, became more relevant than ever during the independence of Ukraine. This issue has been constantly raised in scientific and popular publications, as well as in individual projects, but not so massively and not so consciously aware of the depth of the need for knowledge about national heritage and such an approach in one’s creativity. The life story of V. Krychevsky is proof of the spiral development of history and the need to know the roots of the national code for a reasoned position about one’s own culture, statehood and will for the whole world. The artist’s creative and life path, the core of which was confidence in the necessity of knowledge of one’s cultural and historical origins and the implementation of these principles, is an extremely relevant example for artists and ordinary citizens in our difficult time, when imperial Russia is trying to destroy Ukrainian identity.

Three Streets by Yoko Tawada

Reviewed by: Three Streets by Yoko Tawada Kevin Canfield Yoko Tawada Three Streets Trans. Margaret Mitsutani. New York. New Directions. 2022. 64 pages. IN "MAJAKOWSKIRING," the second story in Yoko Tawada's Three Streets, an unnamed narrator encounters an undead writer. Vladimir Mayakovsky committed suicide in 1930, but in contemporary Berlin, on a street that bears his name, the Russian poet—or perhaps his ghost—is having his say on matters great and small. "A moment ago, he'd been talking about lost love and pineapples," the narrator notes, "and now he was going on about 'terrible times' and politics." This might seem like a bizarre cameo appearance, but within the context of this slender, captivating book, it's perfectly reasonable. Tawada, whose novel The Emissary won the 2018 National Book Award for Translated Literature, writes a singular, uncanny brand of fiction. In Three Streets, women, men and human-adjacent beings land in [End Page 60] slow-simmering metaphysical adventures. Her characters face predicaments and puzzles that present the reader with interesting new ways to think about language, inspiration, history, and chance. Each of the book's three stories is set in Berlin, where the author, who was born in Tokyo, now lives. Each takes its title from a street named for a dead artist. Each features a nameless narrator. In "Kollwitz Strasse," our narrator is in an expensive grocery store filled with affluent young families when a "ghost-child" materializes and drags her to the candy aisle. The young specter uses antiquated words and seems unfamiliar with post–World War II products. The narrator, noting that this is plainly "not a child of this age," is reminded of Käthe Kollwitz; the artist's black-and-white prints depicted Germans who, like Kollwitz herself, lost nearly everything during the world wars. Outside, the narrator sees a city with no discernible colors. Has she become a figure in a Kollwitz etching? Like Tawada's other stories, this one doesn't spotlight a single, easy meaning, though it seems clear that she's remarking on complacent twenty-first-century consumerism, the transformative power of art, and the wounds of war. "Pushkin Allee" opens with the narrator disembarking from a subway, only to see that her "body had shrunk to the size of a child's" (like many strange developments in these dreamlike stories, this happens without warning or explanation). She spots a girl on a bike, which evokes vivid recollections of her own childhood. For a moment, it's the 1960s, and a Japanese TV broadcaster is talking about the anniversary of the end of Second World War. This leads to dark musings about secret police and blood-drenched borderlands. In an open field, which she imagines might've once been the site of carnage, people practice yoga. Her walk through the present-day city becomes a reflection on Cold War Berlin, occupying armies, the plight of innocents during periods of deadly strife, and the ways in which nations confront, or flee from, the past's harsh truths. "Majakowskiring" is just as thought-provoking, if even less straightforward than the other two tales. Haunted by the doomed Mayakovsky, the story centers on another discombobulating walk through a Berlin that may have "slipped back in time." She watches an antinuke march, notes that today's clouds "all have human faces," sees that Mayakovsky appears robust—and quite talkative. What follows is an oblique rumination on randomness, political resistance, and language. Apropos of nothing specific, the narrator laments that she rarely hears "words like 'imagination' or 'creativity' anymore." Tawada herself would never say so, but few writers embody these words better than her. "The mystery of what it means to be human"—this phrase, which pops up early in "Kollwitz Strasse," is an apt description of what Tawada aims to explore in these stories. From one moment to the next, her narratives can be mystifying. In time, though, they cohere into engrossing meditations on historical memory and the oft-baffling nature of life in this century.

일제강점기 한국유도의 민족사상을 통한 업적에 관해

This study examined and discussed the historical significance of the developmental aspects of the Kodokan Judo in the process of inflow of Kodokan Judo by forced suppression after the establishment of YMCA Judo in 1906 in Korea with an objective perspective and drew conclusions. The establishment of Judo Korea was officially established on November 22, 1917 by the forced suppression of the Chosun Judo Department in the YMCA Hwangseong Christian Youth Association in 1906. This group was a group by political means of the Chosun Governor-General and the Japanese imperialists.,On the other hand, the Judo part of the Joseon Dynasty formed a momentum for the commercial spirit in the Judo part of the YMCA Hwangseong Christian Youth Association for the sake of national revival. In other words, with the claim of Lee Sang-jae, a teacher of Vietnam, who is training 100 people in the terrible times of the Japanese colonial rule, the national leaders did not spare all physical support to inspire the business spirit through Judo first, and the indifference of the drama in the emerging military schools became the starting point for the independence movement. In addition, the first Judo tournament was held on October 19, 1929, with five organizations participating, but the last tournament was abolished by Japan on October 12, 1935, as the 7th meeting. However, Lee Sun-gil won the championship and runner-up in 1930s and 1940s, and Seok Jin-kyung not only won the solo exhibition of the Judo Championship in July 1933, but also the Chosun Judo re-defeated Japan and gave a national spirit of business as a country. Thus, it will be possible to present the historical value that achieved the grandeur through the national thought of Judo in Korea during the Japanese colonial period and the academic plan of Judo history education.

Mediating Role of Social Interaction Anxiety between Fear of COVID-19 and Psychological Distress

Youth is the backbone of any society. Their mental health is worsening in these terrible times of pandemic. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate a relationship between fear of COVID-19 and psychological distress, and whether this relationship was mediated by social interaction anxiety. A cross-sectional research design was used to recruit online 200 university students of Lahore, Pakistan through Google docs via purposive sampling technique by introducing them to a demographic questionnaire consisting of fear of COVID-19, social interaction anxiety and psychological distress scales respectively. The sample included both male and female students (men =53%, women =46%) whose age ranged from 17-24 years (M = 21.04, SD = 2.52). Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 25. Pearson Product moment correlation and mediation analysis were used to analyze data. It was found that there was a significant positive association between fear of COVID-19 and psychological distress. The findings also revealed that social interaction anxiety fully mediated the association between psychological distress and fear of COVID-19. It is recommended that counselors and psychologists develop social support programs that can assist students to manage themselves well in the present pandemic environment.

Трагедія буковинського єврейства у рецепції Мозеса Розенкранца

. In recent years, there has been an increasing scientific interest in the German-language literature of Bukovyna, which until the 1980s, for various reasons, remained out of sight of literary critics and became a kind of "virgin land" for Ukrainian scientists. The reason for this interest was translations of works by Paul Celan, Rosa Auslander, Zelma Meerbaum-Eisinger, Alfred Gong, Gregor von Rezzori, Georg Drozdowski, etc., which appeared in Chernivtsi publishers. Ukrainian translations of the works of the German-language writer of Jewish origin Moses Rosenkrantz, done by the Chernivtsi scholar and translator Peter Ryhlo, were included in the collections "The Lost Harp. Anthology of German-Language Poetry of Bukovyna" (2002, 2008) and "German-Language Poetry of Bukovyna. Time of the Phoenix " (2008). Most Bukovinian German-speaking authors during the Second world war experienced the horrors of the Holocaust, which led to the almost total extermination of the Jewish community in Bukovyna. They lost their relatives in those terrible times, or they became victims of the bloody Nazi machine. Those who remained alive tried to convey the terrible images of the Disaster and express their own experiences in their works. This article attempts to analyze the poetic reflection of the tragedy of the Holocaust in Bukovyna in the lyrical works of M. Rosenkrantz. The writer created several poems dedicated to the theme of the extermination of Jews. For the research, we selected poetry included in the collections "Visionen" ("Visions") (2007), "Bukowina. Gedichte 1920-1997" ("Bukovina. Poems 1920-1997") (1998) and "The Lost Harp" (2008), where the writer vividly depicted the terrible pictures of Shoah that he had to go through, his own emotions and impressions of what he saw: "Eine Allee" ("Alley"), "Klage" ("Complaint"), "Ausklang" ("Last Chord"), "Die Blutfuge" ("Bloody Fugue"), "Ein Ungeborener" ("Unborn"), "Angst" ("Fear"), "Dorfpogrom/Östlich" ("Rural Pogrom"), "Mein Amt" ("My Duty").

Afghanistan Peace Process: From Terrible Times to Glimpse of Hope

The potential of peace as of now is resting on four pillars of proposed peace deal which include ceasefire, counter-terrorism, troop withdrawal and intra-Afghan negotiations. Appointment of former Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar as chief negotiator to lead the peace process on behalf of Afghan Taliban is a sigh of relief. His influence over Taliban’s of Afghanistan being the most respected leader after former Mullah Umer is without any doubt an important endeavor to forestall challenges to lasting peace. This paper makes the point that sustainability of peace process in Afghanistan is vested on the foundations of trust between Taliban and United States, which due to prevailing geo-political conditions is less likely to achieve. The fundamental demand of the Taliban has been withdrawal of the US troops, whereas the Americans have never demanded concrete guarantees from Taliban since they have been called terrorists from the very beginning. The draft of the proposed deal had reflected US demand as denying safe heaven to non-state actors that Taliban themselves would like to ensure. Taking the lead from geopolitical landscape of Afghanistan, this study had undertaken an analysis from the failures of previous peace dialogues to reflect insights on the ongoing peace talk between Taliban and United States. The study is deductive in nature and has applied Regional Complex Security Theory of Barry Buzan with subjective interpretations to delve upon the parameters associated with the complications of Afghan peace process.

DCaaS: Data Consistency as a Service for Managing Data Uncertainty on the Clouds

Ensuring data correctness over partitioned distributed database systems is a classical problem. Classical solutions proposed to solve this problem are mainly adopting locking or blocking techniques. These techniques are not suitable for cloud environments as they produce terrible response times; due to the long latency and faultiness of wide area network connections among cloud datacenters. One way to improve performance is to restrict access of users-bases to specific datacenters and avoid data sharing between datacenters. However, conflicts might appear when data is replicated between datacenters; nevertheless change propagation timeliness is not guaranteed. Such problems created data uncertainty on cloud environments. Managing data uncertainty is one of the main obstacles for supporting global distributed transactions on the clouds. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an quota-based approach for managing data uncertainty on the clouds that guarantees global data correctness without global locking or blocking. To decouple service developers from the hassles of managing data uncertainty, we propose to use a new platform service (i.e. Data Consistency as a Service (DCaaS)) to encapsulate the proposed approach. DCaaS service also ensures SaaS services cloud portability, as it works as a cloud adapter between SaaS service instances. Experiments show that proposed approach realized by the DCaaS service provides much better response time when compared with classical locking and blocking techniques.

‘Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again’: the suicide note of Virginia Woolf

Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan’t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can’t concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have

Theology Descending: Franz Wright and Mary Karr in Conversation

PJC: Good morning. I've been asked to moderate a conversation by two of the best poets in America--Mary Karr and Franz Wright. I don't get far in a conversation without bringing up my favorite novel, Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. I've been teaching it, and I learned on the way over that Mary Karr loves the book and Franz Wright wrote a paper about it in high school, so I feel comfortable bringing it up. In the novel, there's a wonderful line by the elder monk Father Zosima, who says that even from a really disordered, painful family life, you can glean some precious memory. You can find something that was good and that was precious. And both Mary and Franz have written about their childhoods in memoirs and poems, and I guess the question I wanted to begin with is do you think that's true? I mean, do you think it is a sentimental thing to say that even in the most difficult childhood you can find some precious memory? And has your view of that changed at all in the last few years? FW: It's very interesting that you would ask that because I've recently been trying to work on a--and I can't finish it for some reason--but I've been working on a poem that has a line that goes through it like a refrain that goes something like, Strange how we always remember the good things about the most terrible times. And I've asked many people, Do you have this? And I think it's human, it seems to be something that many people have in common. You think back on horrendous, terrible times in your life and you've blocked out a lot, and you remember some little, exactly as you said, some little thing that was precious to you. Maybe because it helped you survive. I don't know. MK: Yeah, I think you remember through the filter of who you are now, which is why most of us aren't screaming. [laughs] You know, when your heart is broken in the sixth grade and your mother says that you'll look back on it and laugh, and you do because you're not in the sixth grade anymore. Billy Carl Cash hasn't humiliated you. So, um, yeah, children have a lot of serotonin in their brains. They're meant to survive. Hard-wired. You know, there's that book about the roots reaching towards water, and they're hardwired to reach for the light. But me personally, I've memorized the bad news. I know what the bad news is. [laughs] PJC: I guess I wonder--is bad news experienced differently by children? There's a wonderful, maybe you can help me with his name, a Nigerian Jesuit priest who's here. MK: Uwem Akpan. PJC: Yes, Uwem. FW: Yes, we met him last night. PJC: He's amazing. MK: Yeah, we had a pizza with him. Can I say what happened? So Franz and I have known each other for almost thirty years. We used to drink and, you know, do cocaine together in another lifetime. And, um, now we're both sober and trying to be Catholic. So I wake up at like one in the morning, and he's left me a phone message. And we go down into the place where all the food is, and there's the beautiful Jesuit in a dashiki from Zimbabwe with the best pizza. Like, a pizza the size of this table and a liter of Coca-Cola. And we sat there with him from like one until four in the morning. FW: And I had met him a little earlier. MK: Yeah, you told me about that. He's very cool. He has a book coming out about the children in Zimbabwe. FW: Say You're One of Them. PJC: Yesterday he read part of a novella that he's finishing, to a packed room. He writes about children and their resiliency in the midst of really terrible suffering. And I guess there's a line that always runs through my head when I think about suffering. It's by Leon Bloy, who says that there are places in our heart that do not yet have existence and into these enter suffering so that they may have existence. Have you heard that? FW: No, but it really resonates. And truly for me, one thing I think I've learned in the last nearly a decade that I've been trying to understand some of the mysteries of religion is that suffering does have a very positive practical function. …

We are the League

Unlike the joyous celebrations that accompany Independence Day in the USA, the Chinese New Year or Australia Day, Europe Day is unlikely to be marked by exuberant street parades, sumptuous picnics or spectacular fireworks displays. In fact, few Europeans will even be aware that 9 May celebrates the anniversary of Robert Schumann's proposal for a unified Europe. Within the EU's member states, national celebrations such as Bastille Day still attract far more solemnity, military bombast and public gaiety, for it is undeniable that the European project is miserably unloved by the vast majority of its citizens. As scientists we are accustomed to the concept that our colleagues in other countries—even on other continents—are esteemed and valued partners in the quest for knowledge. Nevertheless, most of us tend to regard the inducements to collaboration offered by Brussels with something between scorn and bitter indignation. We simply do not like being marshalled into doing the things that we love doing anyway; and we rightly value a principled argument more highly than a concerted action. The risible reputation of EU science funding among most …

Building Bridges: What State Comprehensive Universities and Research Institutions Could Learn From One Another

In 2004, I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life: to leave behind a job that I enjoyed at an institution that I loved for the sake of personal and professional growth. I had spent thirteen years at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), had been with it through wonderful times and terrible times, and had forged some of the best friendships and most valuable professional ties of my life. I saw CSUN battered and broken after the 1994 earthquake and reborn and thriving a decade later. I was hired fresh from graduate school to the first tenure track position of my career in CSUN’s English Department and rose through the ranks to become department chair there. I met my partner, Bill, while working at CSUN and saw him embraced as family by friends and colleagues across the university. I worked under two extraordinary presidents (Blenda Wilson and Jolene Koester) from whom I learned life-changing lessons about the joys and challenges of an administrative career track. In sum, CSUN left a deep and lasting imprint on my life, one for which I am enduringly grateful.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST: NONE DECLARED

The Case for Emotion: Looking Back at The Great Hunger

I first read Cecil Woodham-Smiths The Great Hunger in 1967, as a freshman at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, I think during one of dreary gray New England winters that seemed to match the spirit of then-declining industrial city. I forget the exact assignment, but I still have the paper I wrote, which is a highly positive review of the book. I do recall that reviewing the book itself was not the assignment; then as now, the Irish Famine barely figured in a standard first-year Western Civilization course. But it was this course that con vinced me that I wanted to be an historian and a college professor. Woodham-Smith's description of the Famine fit well with what I had heard about Irish history from my Grandmother Mulligan. Her father was born in County Galway in 1846, and she had grown up in the South Bronx surrounded by famine-era immigrants. Woodham-Smith's narrative, while heavily anno tated with footnotes, matched what I been told by oral sources. In a sense that I was not aware of at the time, The Great Hunger validated the folk memories with which I had been raised. It was also rich in detail, an element absent in what I had heard. The folk history I had grown up with was almost willful in skirting direct discussion of events whose horrors could only be alluded to indirectly. It was enough to remember and pass on that there had been terrible times and immense suffering; details were not needed, and perhaps too painful. There was affirmation in having survived and, increasingly, in having over come. The Great Hunger also showed me a way to do that myself. My grand mother introduced me to the Famine and Irish history, which she had learned from her father, and not, as far as I know, from books. Her stories were, to be sure, always compelling and usually each ended with a warning: they will pre tend to be your friend, Billy, but never, ever, trust an Englishman. (In later years, I have sometimes wondered how many Englishmen my grandmother actually
