“Čut’ živye, v noč’ osennjuju / My s ochoty vozvraščaemsja…” Secondary predicate in Nekrasov’s poetic texts
2021
The main aim of the article is to examine the grammatical and stylistic functions of the predicative attribute in the poetic work of Nekrasov. The study contributes to the general ‘grammar of poetry’, which has been proposed and developed by Roman Jakobson. The study shows that Nekrasov often used the predicative attribute and it constitutes one of the specific features of his style. Grammatically extended adjectival, participial and adverbial phrases, frequent in Nekrasov’s poetry, cause additional predication, which makes it possible to expand the narrative. The predicative attribute often combines the functions of an attribute with those of the adverbial modifiers of cause and consequenc…
Poszukiwanie pełni. David Jones i fragmenty pisma
2021
Gutorow podjął próbę opisania i scharakteryzowania twórczości Davida Jonesa, brytyjskiego poety, malarza i eseisty kojarzonego ze zwrotem modernistycznym pierwszej połowy XX wieku. Podobnie jak inni moderniści, Jones postawił w punkcie wyjścia ponurą diagnozę nowoczesności – żyjemy w epoce wyczerpania się dotychczasowych narracji, w epoce duchowego, a więc i egzystencjalnego kryzysu, w czasie należącym do „ostatniego człowieka” (Nietzscheański Letzter Mensch), w świecie, który uległ rozpadowi i musi zostać złożony na nowo. Momenty te wyraźne są w dwóch najważniejszych i najdłuższych utworach poetyckich Jonesa: In Parenthesis (1937) i The Anathemata (1952), obszernych poematach, których frag…
First World War Diaries: Making the Private Public
2020
This article analyses several World War I Diaries written by soldiers on the Front. Starting with the circumstances of publication and their effects on the text, the article addresses the passage of these very private texts into public life, before turning to the role played by the diaries for the soldiers who write them. Studies of the diary as a genre are used to show how war diaries fit into the more general genre. Finally the article turns to the reception of these works, by studying what part literary distance may play for the soldiers keeping a diary, and by arguing that the task of making sense of these texts has been transferred to present-day readers.
Register Variation in Electronic Business Correspondence
2011
Electronic correspondence is a highly dynamic genre within the business world in which Register Variation (RV) is frequently used as a tool to improve communication but it often can lead to misunderstanding. In order to shed some light on this still unexplored area, the present study firstly offers a practical approach to classify and analyse RV within professional communication. After this, it reviews previous studies on email writing to apply their findings to this approach and, in the third part of the study, a corpus of recent business emails in English is analysed to examine how the key parameters of RV are currently used within this genre. The results will show that, not only the cont…
From the Valencian anonymous life of St. Onophrius at the beginning of the sixteenth century to the recreation of Onofre Salt (Barcelona, 1620)
2017
La devoció en terres de parla catalana a l'anacoreta sant Onofre es troba bastant difosa i compta amb nombrosos testimonis. Entre els literaris, en destaquen dos. Un, en català, publicat a principis del segle XVI, a València —anònim i amb clares evidències de ser un treball que recull textos elaborats en estadis anteriors—, i l'altre publicat a Barcelona —malgrat que obra del valencià Onofre Salt—, del 1620, i en castellà. Ens proposem veure les diferències entre l'un i l'altre i, encara, els punts en comú de dos textos devocionals hagiogràfics que es troben als extrems de la cruïlla de l'edat moderna: de l'edat mitjana al Renaixement, el primer, i ja al barroc, el segon.
La font de Llíria: Edició del primer milacre vicentí publicat (1822)
2014
El present treball estudia el primer milacre vicentí de què es té constància que va ser imprés: La font de Llíria. Editat anònim a València, el 1822, per primera vegada, és una mostra del teatre popular i de carrer del segle XIX i, a més de ser reeditat en diferents ocasions, arribà a inspirar altres autors posteriors. The present work studies the first trext printed wich is considered a milacre (dramatic piece about Saint Vincent Ferrer). La font de Lliria was published anonymously in Valencia, in 1822, for the first time, and it is a sample of popular theater of the nineteenth century. It has been reedited on several occasions, and it has come to inspire later authors.
‘‘This is my home, too’’: Migration, spectrality and hospitality inRoberta Torre’s Sud Side Stori (2000)
2011
The article explores Roberta Torre’s film Sud Side Stori (2000), an extravagant Italian re-vision of Romeo and Juliet set in the Sicilian city of Palermo which displays awareness of the global circulation of the story of the two ‘‘star-crossed lovers’’. In the film, which combines neo-realist cinematographic techniques with the artificial style of the musical, Shakespeare’s young lovers become Toni Giulietto, a lousy local rock singer, and Romea Wacoubo, a beautiful Nigerian prostitute who falls in love with him when she sees him standing on his balcony. Not unlike West Side Story, the inter-racial passion between Toni and Romea exacerbates pre-existing ethnic conflicts. It is opposed not o…
Light and Divine Wisdom: An Alternative Interpretation of the Iconography of the Fuller Brooch
2022
La spilla di Fuller viene considerata una rappresentazione, in ambito inglese, dei cinque sensi. Si ritiene che il personaggio centrale, che rappresenta la vista, presenti anche uno o più significati figurativi, legati a idee e concetti che erano correnti nel contesto culturale di re Alfredo. Questi significati figurativi dovevano presumibilmente essere enfatizzati e chiariti dai due oggetti che questa figura regge. Finora, tuttavia, questi oggetti non sono stati interpretati in modo soddisfacente, anche se la maggior parte degli studiosi ritiene che essi possano rappresentare delle piante o cornucopie. Il presente studio esplora l'ipotesi che questi oggetti siano in realtà delle torce, att…
Paramedia : thresholds of the social text
2017
This work is an adaptation of Gerard Genette’s theory of paratexts to social media. Paratexts are information surrounding texts, and usually helping the user to decide whether or not to consume a text. In social media, a plurality of new information surrounds texts we read every day. They are dynamic by nature and have different authors: the social platforms, like Facebook or YouTube; the authors of texts, and the users who comment and share them. This collection of four articles will debate the ethos in social media, what is an author in social media, what are the identified paratexts in selected social media websites and the limits of interpretation of paratexts in contemporary Brazilian …
