Maxim Zhiganov has been exploring different aspects of sound for many years—first in relation to his native Perm and then on a broader, global scale. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about sound maps, the special issue of the journal Logos, and why it is important to make the familiar less clear and obvious.

At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

The Third Lung: New Trajectories in Syriac Studies. Essays in Honor of Sebastian P. Brock

Leiden : Brill, 2023.
Pritula A.
Academic editor: B. Bitton-Ashkelony, M. Hjälm, R. Kitchen

No one mentions Syriac, – a dialect of the Aramaic language Jesus spoke –, without referring to Sebastian P. Brock, the Oxford scholar and teacher who has written and taught about everything Syriac, even reorienting the field as The Third Lung of early Christianity (along with Greek and Latin). In 2018, Syriac scholars world-wide gathered in Sigtuna, Sweden, to celebrate with Sebastian his accomplishments and share new directions. Through essays showing what Syriac studies have attained, where they are going, as well as some arenas and connections previously not imagined, flavors of the fruits of laboring in the field are offered.

Dialogue Elements in Late Syriac Poetry: The Ways of Transformation
Pritula A., , in: The Third Lung: New Trajectories in Syriac Studies. Essays in Honor of Sebastian P. Brock.: Leiden: Brill, 2023. Ch. 3 P. 311–324.
In numerous works by Sebastian Brock, a very detailed typology of Syriac dialogue poetry has been worked out that shows also the stages of its evolution. Most of such poems (sōghīthā, pl. sōghyāthā), being strophic and used for liturgical antiphonal singing, were composed in the 4th-7th centuries. Later on, after the Arabic conquest, the Syriac ...

The connection of the poetic form with the content is investigated. The free verse, developed by W. Whitman in the second half of the 19th century, took root in the USSR with difficulty.

Semantic number agreement in Balkar
Podobryaev A., Ivlieva N., Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 2026 Vol. 11 No. 1 P. 1–25
Unlike many other Turkic languages, Balkar normally demonstrates obligatory subject-verb number agreement in finite clauses with 3rd person subjects: when a subject is plural-marked, so is the verb. However, there are cases when the subject is not overtly plural-marked, but the verb can be. We argue for an account where such facts are not reduced to any form ...

P.: Librairie orientaliste Paule Geuthner S. A., 2024.
The vast majority of Syriac sources that have come down to us came from the ecclesiastical and scholarly elite. It was therefore natural for Syriac studies to focus primarily on the doctrines and normative practices promoted by these authors. Within this field of study, another historiographical vein has focused on magic and the occult sciences. ...

Pulling a Yoke through the White Field: East Syriac Poetic Paraphrases of Scribal Rhetoric

As shown in recent studies, East Syriac colophons were rather standardised, at least in the Ottoman period, and they incorporated into the main colophon body not only prose passages, but also poetic ones. The current article discusses one such passage that occurs in both prose and poetic forms in various manuscripts, namely the topos of ‘the five twins that ...
