The Lost Valley of Iskander
No full textThe belief that a lost Greek legacy could be discovered in remote regions of Central Asia has long been popular in Western culture. This paper delves into the adventure tale The Lost Valley of Iskander by American pulp fiction author Robert E. Howard (1906–1936). The story unfolds in Afghanistan during the peak of the Great Game, and involves a concealed valley where the descendants of Alexander’s army have endured across centuries with their ancient culture and ethnic purity intact.
I contextualize The Lost Valley of Iskander as an exemplary literary reflection of the European (and American) preoccupation with the presence of Alexander and the Greeks in Baktria and India, highlighting the racial stereotypes Howard employs to juxtapose the ancient Greeks to the surrounding ‘barbaric tribes’. At the heart of Howard’s story lies the conflation of Classical Greece and contemporary western Europe. On a broader scale, my paper addresses the impact this preoccupation had on modern scholarship (both colonialist and anticolonial historical narratives related to ‘Hellenistic’ Baktria and India). I contend that in the depiction of the Greco -Baktrian kingdoms as European or ‘Western’, scholarship, travel writing, and adventure fiction mutually informed one another
Il riso nella prosa di Iskander
No full textNato in Abcasia ma vissuto a Mosca per quasi tutta la sua vita, Fazil' Iskander è uno degli autori più importanti del panorama letterario russo contemporaneo. La sua produzione letteraria vanta di un gran numero di poesie, romanzi, racconti e saggi pubblicati a partire dagli anni '60 fino quasi ai giorni nostri. Il genere letterario da lui prediletto è la narrativa satirica. Nei suoi romanzi e nei suoi racconti egli mette a nudo e deride ogni aspetto e ogni esponente della realtà sovietica. Il riso, nelle sue forme principali quali ironia, umorismo, parodia, diventa l'arma con cui lo scrittore affronta la dittatura, annientandone l'autorevolezza e il terrore che essa incute nelle persone. Fazil' Iskander manifesta una una grande forza, indipendenza e libertà spirituale nei confronti del regime, grazie al suo atteggiamento ironico nei confronti della realtà e grazie al suo bagaglio culturale abcaso. I costumi e le tradizioni abcase vengono infatti costantemente esaltate in quanto esempio di cultura autentica. Gli abcasi sono i protagonisti dei suoi racconti e vengono ritratti perennemente impegnati in una lotta silenziosa nei confronti del regime. In questa tesi abbiamo voluto esaminare gli aspetti del riso e della satira in tre opere di Iskander, abbiamo cercato di comprendere i meccanismi e i procedimenti comici con cui egli smonta e denigra il sistema sovietico. Nel primo capitolo abbiamo analizzato "Sozvezdie kozlotura" ("La costellazione del caprotoro"), nel secondo capitolo, il capolavoro di Iskander "Sandro iz Chegema" ("Sandro di Chegem") e nel terzo, "Kroliki i udavy" ("I conigli e i boa"). Queste opere, oltre a esaminare e deridere ogni aspetto della dittatura sovietica, ci offrono inoltre una panoramica completa del riso iskanderiano e della sua evoluzione nel corso degli anni
The characteristics of interpretation and artistic translation of Fazil Iskander exemplified by the short story "One day in summer"
No full textU šezdesetim godinama prošlog stoljeća u ruskoj književnosti započinje razdoblje Otepeli u kojem je cenzura u umjetnosti relativno oslabjela. Bez obzira na to, još uvijek nije dopušteno otvoreno kritizirati vlast i režim. Fazil Iskander bio je jedan od pisaca koji usprkos cenzuri
nikada nije napustio Sovjetski Savez iako mu je jedno vrijeme bilo zabranjeno objavljivati radove zbog sudjelovanja u radu almanaha „Malen'kij gigant bol'šogo seksa“. Dok su neki pisci emigrirali, a neki krijumčarili svoje radove na Zapad gdje bi ih tiskali, Iskander se služio
drukčijim metodama. On je svoje ideje maskirao upotrebom različitih metafora i alegorija, koristeći takozvano ezopsko pismo, tako da su unatoč senzuri ipak dopirale do čitatelja – obrazovanih, ali i onih malo manje obrazovanih. „Na ljetni dan“ reprezentativan je primjer upotrebe metafora s ciljem izmicanja cenzuri. U ovoj pripovijesti Fazil Iskander na prvi pogled opisuje dva naizgled potpuno različita svijeta – jedan mračan i okrutan svijet rata i drugi sasvim uravnotežen i spokojan život jednog
ruskog crnomorskog odmarališta. Međutim, nije tako teško uočiti da Iskander ove svjetove ne razdvaja i ne suprotstavlja jedan drugom, već ih isprepliće i jedan aludira na drugoga. Čitavim nizom prenesenih značenja i aluzija Iskander se suprotstavlja režimu u kojem živi.
Iskander sva svoja djela piše na ruskom jeziku, a većinu svog života provodi upravo u Moskvi. S obzirom na abhasko porijeklo pisca i teme njegovih djela, koje su uvijek na ovaj ili onaj način povezane s rodnim gradom, u ovom se slučaju nameće i pitanje njegove nacionalnosti. Možemo li Iskandera smatrati ruskim nacionalnim piscem? Na ovo pitanje
odgovorila bih potvrdno, jer Iskander suosjeća sa cijelim ruskim narodom te dijeli s njima svima kulturnu i povijesnu pozadinu.
Fazila Iskandera danas možemo smatrati klasikom ruske književnosti. Njegova su djela prevedena na brojne svjetske jezike, uključujući i hrvatski. Iako ne postoji puno njegovih djela u hrvatskom prijevodu, Iskanderove ideje mogle bi lako zainteresirati hrvatskog čitatelja.
Stoga je u ovaj rad uključen prijevod pripovijetke kao doprinos rasprostranjenu njegovih djela
u hrvatskoj kulturi
Škol’nyj val’s di Fazil’ Iskander, ovvero un’enciclopedia della vergogna
No full textThis paper is dedicated to the povest’ Škol’nyj val’s, ili ėnergija styda by Fazil’ Iskander. The author always used Russian language for his poetic and narrative works, but he remained firmly attached to his birthplace Abkhazia, where he set some cycles related to his childhood, to the places and traditions of his native land.The cycle presents an interesting and varied set of episodes linked to the feeling of shame, which is analyzed and presented in its various features through the cases that occurred to the little protagonist. He, now an adult, remembers firsthand the discovery of this emotion and his first attempts to understand and dominate it in a rational way. Here we can also find some indirect comments on Stalin’s totalitarianism, which heavily affected the author’s family life.In questo saggio analizziamo la povest’ Škol’nyj val’s, ili ėnergija styda di Fazil’ Iskander. L’autore utilizzò sempre il russo per le sue opere poetiche e narrative, ma rimase saldamente legato alla natia Abcasia, dove ambientò alcuni cicli legati all’infanzia, ai luoghi e alle tradizioni della sua terra natale. Il ciclo in questione presenta una interessante e varia casistica legata al sentimento della vergogna, che viene sviscerata e presentata nelle sue varie realizzazioni attraverso i casi occorsi al piccolo protagonista. Egli, ormai adulto, ricorda in prima persona la scoperta di questa emozione e i suoi primi tentativi di comprenderla e dominarla in modo razionale. Non mancano inoltre commenti indiretti al totalitarismo staliniano, che fece più volte il suo pesante ingresso nella vita familiare dello scrittore
Dissociative mutism, tetraparesis and the role of unidentified psychotraum. The case of Iskander H.
No full textThe article presents a unique clinical case of a twenty-year-old patient, Iskander, whose clinical picture of the disease combined mutism and functional tetraparesis. The disease developed acutely, manifested itself with a “panic attack” and subsequently throughout the year the condition remained unchanged – he could not move independently (only in a wheelchair), there was no speech. All attempts to identify traumatic events or traumatic experiences have failed. Based on a review of the literature, the article analyzes the possibility of the formation of dissociative (functional) disorders without connection with psychological tramatization. It is noted that, in accordance with modern scientific views, the relationship between dissociative disorders and mental trauma is not proven and obvious. However, it remains unclear – if not psychological trauma, then what in this case causes functional (dissociative, conversion) disorders

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
