Onomastic Code in the Works of Dina Rubina “Napoleon Convoy” and “The White Dove of Cordoba”
No full textThe semantic and plot-generating functions of the onomastic paradigm in the works of Dina Rubina “Napoleon wagon train” and “The White Dove of Cordoba” is examined in the article. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the trilogy “Napoleon’s Wagon Train” has not previously been subjected to scientific analysis, nor has the artistic techniques of this trilogy been compared with those of other works by Dina Rubina. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that, based on the material of the latest novels by Rubina, repeated motives of the reification and humanization of a name, giving it the status of an independent being, a character equal to the bearers of this name, are revealed. Attention is paid to the tendencies in the use of the onomastic code and its gravitation towards a certain type of characters, the life story of which is considered by the author in comparison with the characters who lose, hide and deliberately deform their names in an extensive chronotope, covering the period from the era of antiquity, the Renaissance and the Napoleonic wars to the present day. It is proved that the onomastic code, manifested in novels included in different trilogies, appears as a structural component cementing all the later novelistic works of Dina Rubina as the author’s supertext, arranged according to uniform semantic laws. The proper name in Rubina’s works is a meta-symbol, a sign of personality identification in its uniqueness and in the history of the clan and family

Django Reinhardt’s “Minor Swing” in the Novel “Petrushka Syndrome” By Dina Rubina: Jazz Adaptation of Prose
No full textThis article explores the features of the mutual influence of musical and verbal texts in the works of Dina Rubina, the features of their interaction, the system of key-notes in various works and its functions. The principle of the influence of musical form on the compositional structure of a verbal text is disclosed. From these positions, the novel “Parsley Syndrome” is analyzed and a hypothesis is put forward on the reasons for choosing Jango Reinhardt’s jazz composition “Minor Swing” as the leitmotif of the novel. Also, the intersection points of the two texts are indicated both in the symbolic, and in the ideological and artistic part. The figurative structure of the novel and the similarity of the fate of the central characters with the fate of the author of “Minor Swing” are considered. The development of one of the main themes of Dina Rubina is shown: the continuity of the fate of the family and the clan, the mystical connection of the past and the present, the fatal inevitability of the logic of fate belonging to one genus, the talent and fortitude of the heroes of the novel, which allows one to overcome the vicissitudes of fate. The theme “doll-man” is highlighted, relevant for the novel “Parsley Syndrome”, its variations and forms

The Soviet East Cities in the Prose of Dina Rubina
No full textСтатья поступила в редакцию 09.03.2022 г.Статья посвящена анализу городского пространства в художественном произведении как важного элемента нарратива, благодаря которому становится возможно более полное понимание сюжета, внутреннего мира персонажей и даже самого автора. Советские города в современной русской литературе, находясь на границе между историей и ностальгией, фактом и вымыслом, также играют свою определенную роль в повествовании. В данной статье на примере прозы Д. Рубиной мы проследили, как автор создает ностальгический образ города в художественной литературе и какую роль писательница отводит городам советского востока в своем творчестве. Для этого мы провели сравнение двух городов в романах Д. Рубиной: Ташкента в романе «На солнечной стороне улицы» и Алма-Аты в трилогии «Русская канарейка». Выбор городов основан на их географической близости, принадлежности к одной культуре и одному временному периоду. Проводя сравнение городских пространств Ташкента и Алма-Аты, мы акцентировали наше внимание на природе городов, восточной специфике и использовании в романах городских топонимов. Помимо пространственных характеристик мы попытались проследить, как меняется мотив города в контексте повествования. Результаты проведенного исследования показали, что несмотря на то, что образы городов могут быть раскрыты по-разному, в творчестве писательницы города советского востока в первую очередь являются местами воспоминаний персонажей о детстве и юности.The article is devoted to the analysis of urban space in a work of fiction as an important element of the narrative, thanks to which a more complete understanding of the plot, the inner world of the characters and even the author himself becomes possible. Soviet cities in modern Russian literature, being on the border between history and nostalgia, fact and fiction, also play a certain role in the narrative. In this article, using the example of prose of Dina Rubina we tried to track down the way the author creates a nostalgic image of the city in fiction and what role the writer assigns to the cities of the Soviet East in her work. To do this, we will compare two cities in D. Rubina’s novels: Tashkent in the novel “On the sunny side of the street” and Almaty in the Russian Canary trilogy. The choice of cities is based on their geographical proximity, belonging to the same culture and the same time period. Comparing the urban spaces of Tashkent and Almaty, we focus our attention on the nature of cities, eastern specifics and the use of urban toponyms in novels. In addition to spatial characteristics, we will try to trace how the motif of the city changes in the context of the narrative. The results of the study showed that despite the fact that the images of cities can be revealed in a striking way, in the writer’s work, the cities of the Soviet East are primarily places of characters’ memories of childhood and youth

Collaborative Sensemaking of Design-Enabled Urban Innovations:: The MappingDESIGNSCAPES Case
No full textWicked societal problems, such as environmental issues and climatechange, are complex, networked problems involving numerous intertwined issues,no optimal solutions, and a wide range of stakeholders. Cities are problem owners and living labs for finding solutions through design-enabled innovation initiatives. However, to reach collective impact, it is paramount that these initiatives can learn from one another and align efforts through collaborative sensemaking. In the MappingDESIGNSCAPES project, we piloted a participatory collaboration mapping approach for cross-case sensemaking across design-enabled urban innovation initiatives. We used the CommunitySensor methodology for participatory community network mapping together with the Kumu online network visualization tool to help representatives of three urban prototype cases share and collectively make sense of their design lessons learnt. In this second of two papers, we build on the participatory mapping foundation introduced in [1]. We describe the collaborative sensemaking approach used, then present the core collaboration patterns andcommon perspectives that form the sensemaking scaffolding. We show how wecollaboratively made sense by first taking individual perspectives, then makingcommon sense together. An extended discussion puts our findings in a larger context of how an approach like MappingDESIGNSCAPES can be used to move from collaborative sensemaking to collective impact in design-driven urban innovation.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Design Conceptualization and Communicatio

Exploring how a constructivist career counselling intervention assists a late adolescent in sheltered care to re-author his life story
No full textM.Ed.In order to meet the needs of a changing global economy, the collaboration and extension of existing traditional career theories has resulted in career intervention strategies that are contextually and individually relevant. Traditional career counselling interventions in South Africa tend to serve individuals from stable and predictable contexts, where socio-economic, psychological, cultural and racial differences are not considered as significant. Street children have unconventional life experiences, with many more challenges than the average child. Such individuals, whose context does not include traditional schooling with stable home backgrounds and predictable life stages, may not benefit optimally from traditional career intervention strategies. They may not be able to identify with psychometric testing, where self information is integrated with work information and the client is advised on how he can fit into the world of work. Developments in Career Counselling theories in the 21st century have more potential relevance and benefits for children coming from non-traditional backgrounds. Constructivist Narrative Career Counselling is one of the alternative approaches in which the client and counsellor collaborate to review and create career stories in order to inform career decisions and actions. This study explores how a constructivist career counselling intervention can assist a late adolescent in sheltered care to re-author his life story. The life experiences of the former street child is reviewed, so as to highlight themes that will allow the client and researcher-counsellor to collaboratively create career stories in order to inform career decisions and actions for the participant who comes from a non traditional background. The individual case study was conducted using a constructivist lens to do qualitative research. Data was collected from career intervention activities as recommended by Narrative Career Counselling Theory. These included an intake interview, a lifeline and genogram activity, collages, career mapping, card sorting, a semi structured exit interview and the reflective journal of the researcher. Detailed transcripts of each activity and interaction were done by the researcher herself. Themes were identified from the transcripts of this narrative career intervention, in terms of the meaning they held for making career decisions and then deciding on the actions to follow
