Article about the poem by Nikolai Gumilev "Andrei Rublev"
This is the first book to undertake a comprehensive historical analysis of modern Japanese historiographical debates over the territorial delimitation between Russia and Japan, an issue that is extremely important for understanding the course and consequences of bilateral relations in the near and medium term. The author highlights and evaluates the main arguments in the Japanese historiography on the territorial demarcation issue, and carries out a comparative analysis of Japanese historians' approaches and assessments of the documented legal aspects of the Soviet-Japanese border problem.
This volume contains the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Analysis of Images, Social Networks, and Texts (AIST 2017)1. The previous conferences during 2012–2016 attracted a significant number of students, researchers, academics, and engineers working on interdisciplinary data analysis of images, texts, and social networks. The broad scope of AIST made it an event where researchers from different domains, such as image and text processing, exploiting various data analysis techniques, can meet and exchange ideas. We strongly believe that this may lead to cross fertilisation of ideas between researchers relying on modern data analysis machinery. Therefore, AIST brought together all kinds of applications of data mining and machine learning techniques. The conference allowed specialists from different fields to meet each other, present their work, and discuss both theoretical and practical aspects of their data analysis problems. Another important aim of the conference was to stimulate scientists and people from industry to benefit from the knowledge exchange and identify possible grounds for fruitful collaboration. The conference was held during July 27–29, 2017. The conference was organised in Moscow, the capital of Russia, on the campus of Moscow Polytechnic University. This year, the key topics of AIST were grouped into six tracks: 1. General topics of data analysis chaired by Sergei Kuznetsov (Higher School of Economics, Russia) and Amedeo Napoli (LORIA, France) 2. Natural language processing chaired by Natalia Loukachevitch (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia) and Alexander Panchenko (University of Hamburg, Germany) 3. Social network analysis chaired by Stanley Wasserman (Indiana University, USA) 4. Analysis of images and video chaired by Victor Lempitsky (Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Russia) and Andrey Savchenko (Higher School of Economics, Russia) 5. Optimisation problems on graphs and network structures chaired by Panos Pardalos (University of Florida, USA) and Michael Khachay (IMM UB RAS and Ural Federal University, Russia) 6. Analysis of dynamic behaviour through event data chaired by Wil van der Aalst (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands) and Irina Lomazova (Higher School of Economics, Russia) One of the novelties this year was the introduction of a new specialised track on process mining (Track 6).
The article investigates the first review by N. Gumilev on the Vyach. Ivanov’s poetry (first chapter of the book of poems “Cor Ardens”) in context of another modernists reviews (by V. Bryusov, A. Bely, A. Blok and I. Annensky). The article identifies thematic dominants, which are common to all critics (including Gumilev), according to which was forming the representation of Vyach. Ivanov the literary sphere of the late 1900s and early 1910s.
The article is devoted to exploring the paremic locution one cannot cut the dough with an axe as a rolled-up narrative program in Nikolai Leskov’s story “An Iron Will” (1876). In this way, different images of dough and iron become particularly important as soon as they begin to be perceived as symbolic analogues of some notable properties of national character: a German will (‘iron’) and a Russian lack of will (‘dough’). First of all, this is the pie with carrots as well as the pancakes that killed Hugo Karlovich Pectoralis, “a man of iron will”, at Safronych’s funeral. One can disclose their content only within the context of the specified paremic locution in a serial analogy German : Russian :: will : lack of will :: iron : dough. Technically, there is no valid analogy between ‘iron’ and ‘will’, ‘dough’ and ‘lack of will’, as well as the resulting “standoff” between a German will and a Russian lack of will, but in fact this is not necessary. No matter how parodoxically it may seem, but as an argument in favor of the Russian lack of will paroemia reveals the property of dough to resist to an ax; as an illustrative contribution to the status of a regrettable precedent, a “real” story, told over tea, about Hugo Karlovich Pectoralis choking to death while eating pancakes. Therefore, in Nikolai Leskov’s story the specified paremic locution operates as a sort of “text-in-the-text”, as well as its potential narrative program or its summary.
Notes of a Cavalryman (Zapiski kavalerista, 1915–1916) by Nikolai Gumilev are dedicated to the poet’s participation in World War I and reveal a deep influence of Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace. A brief analysis of the work leads to the conclusion that Gumilev on a superficial level often argued with Tolstoy’s concept of war. Nevertheless, on a deeper level he took cues from Nikolai Rostov not only by getting in the same situations as Tolstoy’s hero, but also by resembling Rostov’s psychological type. This consequently allows us to claim that during World War I, Nikolai Rostov was a model according to which Gumilev fashioned his own life.
"Semiotics of Scandal" is the third collection of the series "Mechanisms of culture". It presents the materials of an international conference held at the Center for Slavic studies (Sorbonne, Paris). The authors, using different methodologies, analyze different forms of scandal as one of the dominant categories of the literary process, history, and politics.
