Võõrkeele omandamise kogemused eestlaste mälestustes ja arvamustes
No full textKeele omandamine sõltub suuresti omandaja motivatsioonist, keskkonnast, kus omandamine toimub, ja sellest, millised emotsioonid keelega seostuvad. Artiklis analüüsime 32 eestlase intervjuudes esinenud meenutusi ja arvamusi võõrkeele omandamise kogemuste kohta. Intervjuud toimusid aastatel 2020–2021. Vastajad olid siis vanuses 9–73 aastat, mistõttu hõlmavad nende keeleomandamise kogemused pika perioodi alates 1960. aastatest. Vaatleme nii seda, mida inimesed on öelnud kooli võõrkeeleõpetuse kohta, kui ka seda, millised kogemused on neil keele omandamisega väljaspool klassiruumi. Artiklist selgub, et kuigi metoodiliste võtete kohta olid arvamused erinevad, peeti kasulikuks ka traditsioonilisi meetodeid (jutustamine, kirjalike harjutuste tegemine jms). Leidus nii neid, kes grammatika õppimist pooldasid, kui ka neid, kes selle vajalikkuses kahtlesid. Väga oluliseks osutus õpetaja isiku ja õpperühma mõju, samuti rõhutati motivatsiooni alla liigituvaid faktoreid (nt vajadus ja/või huvi). On selge, et inimene ei suuda päris täpselt keeleomandamisprotsessi tagantjärele meenutada, kuid ka meelde jäänud detailid on kõnekad ja näitavad nii õppemeetodite kui ka klassivälise keskkonna olulisust
Entanglement of the Formal and Informal in Everyday Surrogacy Negotiations: The Case of Georgia
No full textWith surrogacy-friendly legislation and relatively affordable reproductive services, Georgia has become one of the centres of surrogacy worldwide. Despite the legality of surrogacy, the scarcity of legislation leaves this field largely unregulated. Georgian law regulates only the preand post-procedural periods of surrogacy, and the surrogacy process is almost entirely omitted from the legal framework. In this article, we explore how surrogacy is regulated and managed in everyday life in Georgia. A closer examination shows that to manage the process efficiently, agencies and clinics create their own fluid regulations that, on the one hand, are based on global guidelines but, on the other hand, reflect the shared norms relevant in the Georgian context. The paper is largely based on a study of surrogacy clinics and agencies in Tbilisi and Batumi during 2020 and 2022. Our study revealed the sizeable role informalities have in everyday surrogacy negotiations. Moreover, these informalities are not separate but entngled with formal regulations and institutions. We explored the complementary, compensating, and enabling character of informalities for formalities both at the institutional (agencies and clinics) and the individual level (intended parents and surrogate women)

Булгаковский след в Балтии 1920 – 1930-х годов [Finding Traces of Bulgakov in the Baltic States of the 1920s and 1930s]
No full textThis article addresses the question of Mikhail Bulgakov’s reception in the Baltic states of the 1920s and 1930s. I focus my initial attention on the political aspect, and then proceed to aesthetic questions. My research is based on newspapers and magazines published in Estonia and Latvia in Russian, Estonian and German. Finding traces of Bulgakov in this way allows me to make certain conclusions about what Russian readers living in the Baltic states of the period thought about the events in the Soviet Union, and in particular events in the cultural sphere
А. М. Кутузов в 1790 году: Чтение, авторство, публичность [Aleksei Kutuzov in 1790: Reading, Authorship, Publicity]
No full textBy focusing on a close reading of some passages from the letters of Rosicrucian and translator Aleksei Kutuzov, this paper reconstructs his reading strategies and ways of thinking about contemporary literature and public culture. The paper demonstrates that in his reading and writing habits Kutuzov depended heavily on the widespread early modern practice of commonplacing. In the early 1790s, Kutuzov constructed his arguments, construed the world, navigated current events and criticized Nikolai Karamzin’s project of a literary journal, as well as the whole modern public sphere and print culture, by quoting moral sententiae taken from the journal Guardian (1713) and other works perceived as edificatory reading
«Интеллигент» — одна из волошинских «личин» [“An _Intelligent_” as Part of Voloshin’s _Images_]
No full textThis article is devoted to the study of Maximilian Voloshin’s creative process. In particular, it notes that the imagery of the Lichiny (Images) section of the book Neopalimaia kupina (The Burning Bush, 1924) received further development in the multi-figured composition of the long poem Rossiia (Russia, 1924). The proof comes from the corresponding sections of a previously unpublished Voloshin’s workbook preserved in his archival collection
Фрагмент из рыцарского романа «Парциваль» Вольфрама фон Эшенбаха в переводе Эллиса (Льва Кобылинского) [A Fragment of the Chivalric Novel _Parzival_ by Wolfram von Eschenbach in Ellis’ (Lev Kobylinsky’s) Translation]
No full textThis is the first publication of a previously unknown translation of over 200 lines from Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach, which survived in Ellis’ (Lev Kobylinsky) anthology Pevtsy Germanii (Singers of Germany). Ellis started to compile this anthology with the purpose of demonstrating the incompatibility of genuine German cultural and religious traditions with the ideology of the Third Reich. His selection of texts for the translation was largely prompted by his previous studies, which included Richard Wagner and Wagner’s sources, esoteric interpretations of the image of the Holy Grail, and the reception of monuments of the Western European Middle Ages
