Alf Nilsen-Børsskog — The Author Chosen by the Language
Full text linkThis article discusses Alf Nilsen-Børsskog’s four-volume series of novels Elämän jatko [Continuation of life, 2004–2015], seen as the first literary works treating the Kven culture from a native perspective. Nilsen-Børsskog’s novels are analysed as constituting a “counterstory”, a term coined in the postcolonial cultural research paradigm to refer to self-representation. The Kvens have been considered a national minority in Norway since 1999, and their language has been an official minority language since 2005. The present author scrutinizes how Nilsen-Børsskog’s work differs from previous literary descriptions of this minority, often marked by the frequent use of stereotypes of the Kven language and culture

Johann Siegmund Valentin Popowitsch (Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič), Vocabula Austriaca et Stiriaca 1-2 (Frankfurt am Main 2004)
No full textThe Austrian dictionary composed by the Slovenian scho-lar Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič (1705-1774) in the third quarter of the 18th century was only published in 2004, and edited by Richard Reutner, who wrote an extensive introduction to it. The dictionary comprises many language-geographical data for the German language, excellent explanations and many comparisons with much information provided regarding Popovic's mother tongue. The author broad horizon is admirable, especially with regard to the German language area and the linguistic literature of that time.Avstrijski slovar, ki ga je v tretji četrtini 18. stoletja sestavil slovenski učenjak Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič (1705-1774), je izšel šele leta 2004 v uredništvu Richarda Reutnerja, kije k njemu napisal obsežen uvod. Slovar vsebuje mnogo jezikovnogeografskih podatkov za nemščino, odlične razlage in marsikaj primerjalnega, veliko pa se najde tudi v zvezi s Popovičevo materinščino. Občudovanja vredna je avtorjeva razgledanost predvsem po nemškem jezikoslovnem prostoru in po takratni jezikoslovni literaturi
Valentin N. Volóchinov: um filósofo da ciência da linguagem
Full text linkThis text address the work of Russian scholar Valentin N. Vološinov, author of the book Marxism and the Philosophy of Language. The objective is to demonstrate a set of characteristics that place Vološinov as a participant in the critique of science movement, which had its epicenter in Germany, between the years 1840 and 1900. To this end, in addition to a general reflection, which recovers the meaning of the term “criticism” most present in the academic environment of the time, this text considers two points of the much mentioned – and, apparently, somewhat misunderstood – opposition of the Russian thinker to the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure, as this linguistics is presented in the Course in General Linguistics. Finally, by way of provocation, this text outlines a few words about the proximity between the epistemological works of Valentin N. Vološinov and Wilhelm Dilthey.Este texto aborda la obra del estudioso ruso Valentin N. Voloshinov, autor de la obra Marxismo y filosofía del lenguaje. El objetivo es demostrar un conjunto de características que sitúan a Voloshinov como participante del movimiento de crítica científica, que tuvo su epicentro en Alemania, entre los años 1840 y 1900. Para ello, además de una reflexión general, que recupera el significado del término “crítica” más presente en el ambiente académico de la época, se consideran dos puntos de la tan mencionada –y, aparentemente, algo incomprendida– oposición del pensador ruso a la lingüística de Ferdinand de Saussure, tal como se presenta esta última en el curso de lingüística general. Al final, a modo de provocación, se esbozan algunas palabras sobre la proximidad entre las obras epistemológicas de Valentin N. Voloshinov y Wilhelm Dilthey.O presente texto aborda o trabalho do estudioso russo Valentin N. Volóchinov, autor da obra Marxismo e filosofia da linguagem.

Dal genere all'allegoria: concerti di Valentin de Boulogne nei disegni e nelle stampe di traduzione
No full textLa studiosa, muovendo dall’analisi di un dipinto di Leandro Bassano, conosciuto attraverso una stampa di fine Settecento, sottolinea i collegamenti tra la figurazione veneta del concerto e il linguaggio utilizzato nei quadri musicali da Caravaggio e dai suoi seguaci.
I seguaci della manfrediana methodus usavano descrivere i momenti musicali inserendoli nell’atmosfera scura delle taverne e dei vari ritrovi mondani. Gli strumenti musicali, raffigurati in queste scene si ricollegano ad una complessa simbologia. Gradualmente il concerto dipinto assume significati reconditi che travalicano l’apparente consesso di musicisti: ora i concetti di armonia e di musica si fondono nella definizione figurativa del concerto allegorico.
Valentin de Boulogne non tardò a farsi la nomea di raffinato esecutore di composizioni di genere, in particolare a carattere musicale, successivamente tradotte a stampa. Molti motivi raffigurati, in un suggestivo schema di riflessi, appaiono all’interno delle altre scene di concerti e riunioni varie realizzate dal pittore, ove le espressioni naturalistiche si confondono con gli elementi simbolici.
Alla luce delle osservazioni e dei dati riferiti in questo studio, si può avanzare l’idea che la scena allegorica ambientata in taverna sia una delle principali espressioni della tradizione manfrediana, particolarmente nelle declinazioni di Valentin.
Infine si proposne l'attribuzione al frnacese di un disegno rintracciato dall’autrice, e tradizionalmente attribuito a Rutilio Manetti; si aprono interessanti quesiti, costituendo un inedito tassello nella storia del dipinto di Valentin de Boulogne Concerto a quattro personaggi e un bevitore (New York in collezione privata, 1626).The author analyses a painting by Leandro bassano, through a print of the late eighteenth century, and empahsizes the connections between the figuration used in Venetian concert painting and the language applied in the musical paintings by Caravaggio a nd his followers.
Finally the analysis of a drawing found by the author, and tradinally attributed to Rutilio Manetti, opens up interesting questions in regard to the history of the paioonting Concert with Characteres and a Drinker by Valentin de Boulogne, now in private collection in New York
Learning to Speak Indigenous Languages with Compassionate Listening Practices
No full textIndigenous language reclamation programs are considered an important way to reclaim indigenous identities and empower indigenous community members. Yet, without enough considerations for the participants, they could inhibit the language learning of those participants.The goal of this article is to empower Ryukyuan indigenous language learners using compassionate listening practices to support their learning. The author focuses on language reclamation activities targeting new speakers of the Yaeyaman language. The author analyzed interviews with new speakers (learners) of Yaeyaman and conducted videorecordings.This article identifies the following three issues: (1) linguistic purism, (2) linguistic in security, and (3) lack of ethical principles. These problems seem to hinder new speakers’ motivation to learn and speak their heritage languages. The author found that the emotions and feelings of new speakers are often overlooked and thus, suggests that new learners can be empowered by addressing their feelings through compassionate listen practices. Hence, we need to focus on the emotional support of language learners. The article proposes using compassionate listening practices to empower language learners who are embedded in social power struggles both from outside and inside the language community.https://doi.org/10.33063/diva-472014</p
Ideological distortion, or Valentin Rasputin in one postcolonial reading
No full textThe article discusses the method of analysis of the works of Valentin Rasputin, using post-colonial studies. The author noted the advantages and disadvantages of this methodological technique, and is discussed in detail as an example the book by American scientist E. Thompson. Critical review of labor Thompson allows to point out some aspects of postcolonial discourse - ahistoricism and indoctrination in the spirit of postmodern political correctness, that the author of the article distorts the common perception of creativity of the Russian writer.Рассматривается пример анализа творчества Валентина Распутина с использованием пост-колониальных исследований. Автор статьи отмечает преимущества и недостатки этого исследовательского метода, и подробно обсуждает их на примере книги американской исследовательницы Э. Томпсон. Критический обзор труда Томпсон позволяет отметить некоторые аспекты постколониального дискурса – антиисторический подход к исследуемому материалу и приверженность постмодернистским принципам политкорректности, что, по мнению автора статьи, ведёт к искажению общего восприятия творчества русского писателя
