UNIQUE ICONOGRAPHY OF AN IVORY CRUCIFIXION PLAQUE AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART IN THE CONTEXT OF BYZANTINE IMPERIAL IDEOLOGY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE X CENTURY

    The rapid military successes of the Muslims, who at the beginning of the eight century were able to subdue the lands of the Middle East and North Africa posed a great threat to the Byzantine Empire. The Empire’s failed attempt to regain territories lost in the wars demonstrated the weakness of Byzantine war ideology and the need to revise the concept of war. A changed ideology was formed by the end of the IX century, during the rule of the Macedonian dynasty, and especially during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetus (945-959). The changes in rhetoric had a reflection in Byzantine visual media. The religious iconography underwent a significant conceptual change and acquired a semantic meaning of war. The paper analyzes Byzantine ivory plaque from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is only surviving portion of a triptych whose wings are now missing. The plaque’s iconography is unique among the surviving Byzantine representations of the Crucifixion and no other related images survive. While the crucified Christ, Virgin, St John and the two angels are frequent elements of the iconography of Crucifixion, there are unusual iconographic details. First of all is unique depiction of the reclining figure at the foot of the cross whose belly is pierced by Christ’s cross. The scholarly discussion has been concentrated on this remarkable innovation. Some identified it as Hades- the god of the underworld, another as Adam-a usual image of the Crucifixion iconography. The paper will off er a new analyze of this unique iconography. It will show that to decipher its complex visual syntax, it is necessary to understand the components of the composition as a whole system, as well as to take into account the historical and political context in which such changes in the crucifixion iconography were made. The paper offers a new opinion on the date and the possible donor of the ivory plaque

    The Reality Changed by Discourse

    It is well known that, in the 20th century, philosophy turned to linguistic patterns and methods. The distinction made by linguists between language and speech, the interest towards the semantic and pragmatic aspects of functioning of language and semiotic research have proved that the study of types of conjunctions in certain sentences was insufficient for the explanation of human interaction. Hence, the research developed beyond the limits of a sentence and embraced speech as a sequence of speech acts, which needs to be analyzed from diverse angles, namely, pragmatic, semantic, referential, emotive-evaluative and so on. In their turn, linguists addressed super-phrasal units, i.e. discourse, which, apart from the text, embraces non-linguistic factors like the mood of the addressor and the addressee, background knowledge, explicit aim or intention, opinions, self-esteem, evaluation of other people and so on. Despite numerous definitions of discourse and the multitude of methods of discourse analysis, there is a common conceptual basis, according to which discourse not only reflects the world, identities and social relations but also plays an active role in their formation and change. The changes are sometimes mild, sometimes positive and sometimes destructive. We witness the latter changes nowadays. The discourse of the contemporary war is entirely based on linguistic manipulations. This reminds us of our recent past, the Soviet regime, which was termed as “logocracy”. The term “Soviet language” refers not only to the discourse of the Soviet Union, but, generally, to a discourse which disguises reality by means of words and thus controls everything. This phenomenon is also related to the French expression “Langue de bois” (literally: “wooden language”), meaning a language consisting of clichés, the so-called “dead expressions”. The key mechanism of fake meanings in the ideological discourse is the substitution of denotats, hence, the term “the language of deceit”. The link between the signifier and the signified is still inexistent. Besides, the key constituents of present-day discourse (“war”, “peace”, “freedom” etc.) belong to the concepts that are distinguished by high degree of semantic diffusion. This helps the manipulator in achieving his aim. The latest examples of disguising the truth by means of words remind us of “Newspeak” – an imaginary language of the totalitarian society in George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984”. However, the contemporary Russian «Новояз» (new language) is characterized by more deceit, cynicism and severity: “peaceful operation”, “special operation” / “special military operation” are used as substitutes for war, whereas the purposes of the special operations are “demilitarization” and “denazification” of Ukraine. It should be noted that such contexts do not contain expressions like brother / neighbour / co-believer Ukrainians. Instead, there are new-born complex terms “Ukronazi” / “Ukrofascists”. Therefore, the majority of Russian citizens perceives the events in the Ukraine as peaceful, noble operation and not war. The rest of the world urges Russia to stop war, but Russia continues the war and punishes its own citizens who dare pronounce the word “war”. As we have seen, dystopian discourse is still topical: “war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is power”

    On the formal marker of statisticality in Kartvelian

    In Georgian linguistic reality, different classifications of Kartvelian verbs are known. According to Arn. Chikobava's classification, verbs are divided into two main classes: dynamic and static verbs. Dynamically considered is the class of verbs that convey the action - xat-av-s “he/she paints”. At the same time, there is a static verb that indicates the statics of an action / situation – xat-ia “it is painted”. According to A. Shanidze, the classification of verbs is related to the category of transitivity, and static verbs are grouped with intransitive verbs and form a single subclass - intransitives. Moreover, here static verbs are considered to be a subset of the passive voice and they are called static verbs of medial passive voice. But, if we share this theory, then the question arises as to which kind of voice we should attribute these verbs to: t’ir-i-s “weeps”, k’iv-i-s “whires”, cekv-av-s “dances”, etc. In a situation like this we have to partially agree with Arn. Chikobava, who called them voiceless verbs. Clearly, t’ir-i-s “weeps” type verbs oppose each other in terms of dynamics / statics. However we can not agree with Arn. Chikobava's view that static verbs reflect the stage of language development when the verb denoted a state, and that state, like its quality, was unchanged over time. On the contrary, binary opposition: statics - dynamics was prevailing in the entire system of common Kartvelian origin from the very beginning. The case is that static verbs did not have the ability to have the time-mood of the aorist series (in Kartvelian reality, a formal expression of this, at the level of grammatical semantics, is also impossible). That is why in linguistic Kartvelology the terminology of the middle voice appears, which borrows this or that verbform from other types of (actually dynamic) verbs. Based on our observations, we can say that it was the limitation of form formation (formative production) of static verbs that created the solid ground due to which these types of verbs did not develop the morphological category of the voice. This assumption also works successfully in all Kartvelian subsystems, i. e. the verbs of the medial passive voice separated by Akaki Shanidze as an independent group by their origin are nothing more than static verbs, the peculiarity of which is that the verbs with different morphological status are opposed not by the voice but by the dynamics. The verbal form t’ir-i-s is not even a verb of the middle-active voice, but a static verb of the active voice, and does not even fill the forms of the second series i-t’ira, and so on, but has no aorist at all, nor can it have or ever had it. In fact, the verb t’ir-i-s is a static verb of the active voice and correlates with the forms of dynamic i-t’ir-eb-s / i-t’ir-a by dichotomy: static (t’iri- s) / dynamic (i-t’ir-eb-s / i-t’ir-a), the time difference is too late if it was functioning somewhere, or if it functioned at all. So it can be boldly said that the forms of t’ir-i-s - a-t’ir-eb-s type oppose each other not by voice but by the morphological category static-dynamics. In terms of voice, their partner / correlative is the verb a-t’ir-d-eb-a (atir- d-a), which is a form of the passive voice with a clearly expressed content of the inchoative in the present time. Thus, the forms are verbs of the active voice t’ir-i-s - a-t’ir-eb-s / i-t’ir-eb-s, which correlate with the form of the passive voice a-t’ir-d-a, while all the dynamic allomorphs taken together are dynamic forms of the t’ir- verb in contrast to the static verb t’ir-i-s. So, in Kartvelian reversibility (B. Jorbenadze), transitivity, causativity (from original) and so on are separate independent morphological categories, the separation of which, in the classification of verbs, is conditioned by the necessary requirement of the factual situation (existence of the empirical material)

As COVID-19 continues to develop rapidly, entities should consider whether events have occurred that have had a material impact on the financial statements. With regard to revenue recognition, when dealing with situations and circumstances such as a crisis caused by a pandemic, this may call into question the ability of organizations to comply with the terms of the contracts. Companies therefore need to re-evaluate their ability to receive cash flow related to contracts. When recognizing revenue, businesses may need significant judgment and reassessment of variable payments, in order to determine the impact of pandemic uncertainties. In addition, the accounting and disclosure of current and future contracts can also be affected by decisions made in response to a pandemic, such as contract changes, benefits for customers who have difficulties in repayments, price revisions, etc

    EXAMPLES OF GEORGIAN ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE IN KVABLIANI GORGE: SYNTHESIS OF COSMOPOLITAN AND LOCAL STYLES

    No full text
    https://geohistory.humanities.tsu.ge/ge/procedings/83-shromebi/177-shromebi-18.htmlIslamic architecture of Kvabliani Gorge is one of the notable examples of less studied cultural heritage of the South Georgia. For example, in comparison to the mosques of Adjara, there is much less academic interest and significantly less research of the Islamic architecture of Kvabliani Gorge. Almost all mosques of Samtskhe region from the late 19th and early 20th c.c. are in bad condition and none of them has been renovated up to this day. Scientific literature regarding this topic is also scarce, besides a few recent popular publications. Therefore, Islamic religious buildings of Samtskhe remain a less known phenomenon for the Georgian public. This can be explained by the political situation during the Soviet times that did not promote the research of the Islamic heritage in Georgia. National issue of the “Meskhetian Turks” made this topic even more untouched and obscure. This article is dedicated to the artistic peculiarity of several such mosques. One can trace synthesis of Georgian national elements, stylistic signs of Islamic cosmopolitanism and modern European tendencies in these buildings. Standards of Islamic religious structures in Samtskhe region of Georgia undergoes a certain transformation and shapes itself to a quite original phenomenon

    Determinologization as One of the Means of Enriching the Language Lexis (Using the Data of Medical Terms)

    No full text
    From the linguistic point of view, it is of special interest to observe the process of migration of a lexical unit from the literary language to the special terminological branch and vice versa. Such processes are characteristic of any scientific branch, as lexis is the most dynamic part of a language. In such cases some semantic shifts can be observed in the lexis of the language, namely the lexical meaning of the lexical units becomes broader or narrower. Sometimes the meaning can change metaphorically. The process of the above-mentioned determinologization is also characteristic of medical terminology in the Georgian language, resulting in transferring the special terminology into literary language – through the mass media or literary texts. This process is universal and is more or less characteristic of the special lexis in any language. Observation of the modern mass media in Georgia shows us that even today, the same lexical units are more often undergoing determinologization, namely, the terms of such specific areas as the lexical units denoting symptomatic signs or syndromes of illnesses, organism's reaction, disease agents, medicinal products and medical instruments. It is clear that the metaphoric potential of the mentioned lexical layer is quite broad and the negative colouring is strong and brought forward. Some foreign terms are employed in non-medical contexts, such as bakt'eria ‘bacteria’, mik'robi ‘microbe’, diagnozi ‘diagnosis’, abi ‘drug’, t'ok'sik'ozi ‘toxicosis’, shizoprenia ‘schizophrenia’, and shok'i ‘shock’... Some medical terms of pure Georgian origin also underwent determinologization (k'ibo, ‘cancer’, ch'leki ‘tuberculosis’, dambla ‘paralysis’, tsieb-tskheleba ‘fever’, khortsmet'i ‘skin growths’, ‘wart’, simsivne ‘tumor’…). The medical terminology is used in figurative meaning as well; for example, the term agonia ‘agony’ is met in the texts of social-political or economic character to describe such terms as regime, government, economics, religion, a city; the term k'olapsi ‘collapse’ is usually met with such nouns as systems, institutions, education, course of the dollar or euro, urban problems, criminal problems, transport, financial, jurisdiction and other fields problems; met'ast'azi ‘metastasis’ is usually addressed to something that is associated with the Soviet period, communist party or something concerning the society, such as Russophobia; there are also such terms as dambla ‘paralysis’ (of economics); nevrozi ‘neurosis’ (of society, of economics), psikozi’ psychosis (pre-elections psychosis) and others. Medical terms are used in poetic texts as a metaphor. An unpoetic, inexpressive, at first glance even rude medical term sometimes emphasizes the peculiarity of the poet's style and creates an effect of surprise, e. g. agonia ‘agony’, hormoni ‘hormone’, trombi ‘thrombus’… Determinologization of the terms of any branch (including medical terminology) is represented as one of the means of metaphorization which enriches the lexis of the literary language and makes it more expressive
