The article shows genre transformation on the basis of chosen texts about fashion. The author followed through the compositional formation of texts about fashion, published in women lifestyle magazines from 19 th through 20 th to 21 st century. Taking into consideration pragmatic aspect, texts about fashion adapt genre indicators such as correspondence, column, story, review or advertisement. However, the genre identification should not be absolutized. The analysis of genre strings, with particular consideration of architectonics of the texts, shows that typical for contemporary magazines layouts – genres in the form of collection, composed of references (affiliated with iconographical material) are not editorial novelty. They have a long tradition, on the contrary. Another difference, according to the contemporary times, is genre richness of texts about fashion. Two schemes decided about the form of texts in the past: the genre in the form of collection that was composed of references and collection of genres with the domination of correspondence.

Ethan Campbell, The Gawain-Poet and Fourteenth-Century English Anti-Clerical Tradition. Research in Medieval and Early Modern Culture. Kalamazoo, MI: Medieval Institute Publications / Western Michigan University, 2018, pp. 238.

In the past four years, there has been a flurry of valuable new work on the poems of the Gawain-poet (also known as the Pearl-poet), which includes new editions, translations, monographs, pedagogical studies, and online resources. Among the editions and translations are Malcolm Andrew and Ronald Waldron’s excellent facsimile edition and translation of Cotton Nero A.x (Folio Society, 2016), Simon Armitage’s verse translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl (W.W. Norton, 2008 and 2016 respectively) and, I allow myself to mention, my own dual-language edition-translation of Pearl with supplementary materials for collegiate teaching (Broadview, forthcoming). Academic monographs include Piotyr Spyra’s Epistemological Perspective of the Pearl-Poet (Ashgate, 2014), Cecelia Hatt’s God and the Gawain-Poet: Theology and Genre (Boydell & Brewer, 2015), my Signifying Power of Pearl: Medieval Literary and Cultural Contexts for the Transformation of Genre (Routledge, 2017), and Lisa Horton’s Scientific Rhetoric of the Pearl-Poet (Arc Humanities Press, forthcoming). Editors Mark Bradshaw Busbee and I have published Approaches to Teaching the Middle English Pearl (MLA, 2017), which contains insightful pedagogical essays from several professors. The journal Glossator provides a complete commentary on each section of Pearl, available online (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://glossator.org/2015/03/30/glossator-9-2015-pearl">https://glossator.org/2015/03/30/glossator-9-2015-pearl</ext-link>/), and additional resources are available at “Medieval Pearl” (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://medievalpearl.wordpress.com">https://medievalpearl.wordpress.com</ext-link>). Now Ethan Campbell’s The Gawain-Poet and the Fourteenth-Century English Anticlerical Tradition joins the ranks, making a meaningful contribution to our understanding of the poet in his cultural milieu.

Planning as Persuaded Storytelling: The Role of Genre in Planners’ Narratives

Genre is one of narrative’s key structuring tools, bounding and delimiting texts. When planners write within a given genre, they tacitly endorse specific conventions. By conforming to these conventions, planners reproduce the historical and linguistic arrangements that led to the ratification and codification of certain types of narratives. This paper explores how two of the author’s prior publications fit uncomfortably within the ambit of specific genres. It suggests ways to push back against the limits of genre, to produce texts more responsive to a project of mutual learning between authors and readers. Through recognition, interrogation, and transformation of genre, authors can advance the project of planning for the common good.

Comprehensive analysis enabled the authors to arrive at the conclusion that the novels of Nadolny under consideration are the icon of road narrative genre in German literature.

Genre Transformation of the Fairy Tale in Contemporary Russian Literature

This research is devoted to some peculiarities of structure and semantics of contemporary Russian fairy tale. The analyzed genre model is quite actual in the literature of modern turn of the centuries. It is actualized in the creativity of L. Petrushevskaya, A. Kabakov, B. Akunin, M. Fray, D. Bykov, etc. This is connected with the universality of themes and problems and the dynamics of structure of genre analyzed. Modern literature process suggests the use of various genre forms (including fairy-tale one) in the context of realization of game strategies of world construction with the deconstruction principle domination. The usage of the most productive for such kind of research methods (structural-semantical and comparative ones) gives grounds for understanding the specifics of realization of deconstruction principle through the variety of forms and meanings. For example, the scheme of “genre memory” is widely used in contemporary fairy tale. If that scheme deals with the sphere of semantics, then structural components are actively deconstructed (e.g. fairy tales by L. Petrushevskaya). If the meaningful fairy tale composition models are actualized, then the semantic component is widely transformed (e.g. Moscow Fairy Tales by A. Kabakov). The most important peculiarity of contemporary fairy tale is the integration of fairy tale, legendary, mythological and literary plots to the one game system. The result of this is on the one hand travestying of the iconic plots, on the other hand achieving the new meanings due to including context mechanisms.

ПСАЛМЫ П. ХУХЕЛЯ: ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ БИБЛЕЙСКОГО ЖАНРА

The article deals with the transformation of the biblical genre of psalm in the German-language poetry. This transformation is shown through the example of works by the German poet Peter Huchel. In the article, three of his poems having the same title «Psalm» are analyzed. The interrelation between the content of these poems and the form of the biblical genre is of particular interest. P. Huchel transforms the traditional idea of psalm as a genre, its form and content. The first poem belongs to his earlier period and is devoted to different women’s characters, and one can trace there both biblical and pagan motifs. The second psalm has a more political tone and expresses the author’s attitude to the situation in the world at that time. It is noteworthy that the poem was initially entitled «Bombe gegen bombe» but then renamed. This proves that the poet wanted to show how the content of the poem correlates with religious motifs. The third poem has the title «Winterpsalm» and contains nature motifs, personification of the nature and inner feelings of the lyric hero, who finds himself isolated.

СОЦИАЛЬНО ОБУСЛОВЛЕННЫЕ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИИ МАЛЫХ ПЕСЕННЫХ ЖАНРОВ СЛАВЯНСКОГО ФОЛЬКЛОРА В СОВРЕМЕННОМ КОММУНИКАТИВНОМ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕ

Abstract Modern folklore genres differently realize the folklore function of socio-cultural identification. The most popular, both personally and institutionally, are folk pripevkas as small song folklore genres. In this study, the functional specificity of the small song folklore genres and their transformations are considered in Russian chastushkas and Ukrainian kolomyikas. At present, small song folklore genres have almost lost the function of oral folklore communicative exchange organization. However, they are in demand in other communication spheres. They are formally and semantically flexible due to their outward orientation. Responding to modern people’s personal need in socio-cultural identification, the pripevka actively functions in people’s communication spheres that are not regulated by institutions. At the same time the pripevka text slightly transforms externally due to the specific conditions of its written form. The principles of genre world modeling are mostly preserved. The content, according to the principles of the genre, reflects the current reality. Political discourse is an institutional discourse that actively uses the pripevka. Reacting to the manipulative intention of the social institution, the pripevka significantly transforms the genre principles of world modeling. It loses the feature of the carnival ironic norm inversion: the norm is expressed directly from the standpoint of the political discourse agents. Genre transformations bring the Russian chastushka closer to the nuclear genres of political discourse.Keywords: Slavic folklore, discourse, folklore genre, small song genre, chastushka, kolomyika, genre transformation.

The aim of the article is the investigation of inter textual relations in the process of genre transformation of the Christmas story into the Yule short story from Charles Dickens to Nikolay Leskov. For this purpose the typical elements of both genres are examined, the conclusion that the Christmas story by Ch. Dickens is a special intertexteme in the Yule short story by N. Leskov. Thorough the comparative analysis of three key ideological, meaningful, and poetic points and spheres (realization of concepts, categories of values and socio-cultural environment) has been made. The categories of values are depicted through the vertical relationship “a man—God”, as well as the opposition of humanity and self-absorption, moral and legal laws. Socio-cultural environment is considered as the image of household items of different classes (the merchants, the peasants, the nobles, the clergy, and the officials in the works by N. Leskov and the bourgeois and the workers in the works by Ch. Dickens) and socio-cultural symbols through the traditions of Christmas celebrating.

Hip hop on film: performance culture, urban space, and genre transformation in the 1980s

Early hip hop film musicals have either been expunged from cinema history or excoriated in brief passages by critics and other writers. Hip Hop on Film reclaims and reexamines productions such as Breakin' (1984), Beat Street (1984), and Krush Groove (1985) in order to illuminate Hollywood's fascinating efforts to incorporate this nascent urban culture into conventional narrative forms. Such films presented musical conventions against the backdrop of graffiti-splattered trains and abandoned tenements in urban communities of color, setting the stage for radical social and political transformations. Hip hop musicals are also part of the broader history of teen cinema, and films such as Charlie Ahearn's Wild Style (1983) are here examined alongside other contemporary youth-oriented productions. As suburban teen films banished parents and children to the margins of narrative action, hip hop musicals, by contrast, presented inclusive and unconventional filial groupings that included all members of the neighborhood. These alternative social configurations directly referenced specific urban social problems, which affected the stability of inner city families following diminished governmental assistance in communities of color during the 1980s. Breakdancing, a central element of hip hop musicals, is also reconsidered. It gained widespread acclaim at the same time that these films entered the theaters, but the nation's newly discovered dance form was embattled--caught between a multitude of institutional entities such as the ballet academy, advertising culture, and dance publications that vied to control its meaning, particularly in relation to delineations of gender. As street-trained breakers were enticed to join the world of professional ballet, this newly forged relationship was recast by dance promoters as a way to invigorate and remasculinize European dance, while young women simultaneously critiqued conventional masculinities through an appropriation of breakdance. These multiple and volatile histories influenced the first wave of hip hop films, and even structured the sleeper hit Flashdance (1983). This forgotten, ignored, and maligned cinema is not only an important aspect of hip hop history, but is also central to the histories of teen film, the postclassical musical, and even institutional dance. Kimberley Monteyne places these films within the wider context of their cultural antecedents and reconsiders the genre's influence.

Los nuevos documentales multimedia interactivos:construcción discursiva de la realidad orientada al receptor activo

Today’s technological development is leading to major and varied changes regarding the communication world. Related to a digital context that is multimedia, hypertextual and that allows interactivity, these changes imply a transformation of traditional journalistic genres and formats, which must be redefined in order to take advantage of the possibilities that the new media may offer. One of them is the documentary genre, which has been transformed adopting an innovative and interactive multimedia format known as ‘web documentary’, ‘webdoc’, etc. This reformed genre explores the Internet potentials adopting new forms of discursive approach when describing reality. Based on these aspects, this article aims to delve into the construction of the new narratives inside interactive multimedia documentary, paying a particular attention to the important role assigned to a receiver/user that becomes an active element when it comes to telling the story. It is taken as an specific object of study the ‘webdoc’ conducted by the Laboratorio de Radio Televisión Española, whose analysis will provide the main characteristics that allow us to separate the classic format of documentary from the innovative new format whose characteristics are related to the so-called narrative experience for the receiver/user in documentary genre.

Who Are the Most Beautiful Women of China? —The “One Hundred Beauties” Genre in the Qing and Early Republican Eras*

Established in the late imperial era, “one hundred beauties” (baimei) genre selected and portrayed one hundred beautiful women in Chinese history often through three cultural artifacts: woodblock print portraits, biographies, and poems. This paper takes as its focus the anthology Gujin baimei tuyong 古今百美 图咏 (Illustrated biographies of and poems on one hundred beauties of the past and the present, 1917), which has not received scholarly attention before. Bringing together collections of old and new-style beauties, the anthology is a showcase of the genre straddling two centuries. The transformation of the genre, as reflected in the Gujin baimei tuyong, complicates a simplistic distinction between tradition and modernity while enriching our understanding of the changing representations of women.
