Two different approaches to interpreting The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin: Vladimir M. Markovich and Wolf Schmid
No full textThe article deals with the comparison of two approaches — by Vladimir M. Markovich and by
Wolf Schmid — to the study of The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin. The comparison is
based on the following criteria: (1) a dynamic examination (Markovich) vs. a static examination
(Schmid); (2) conceptualization: reader vs. author. Within the interpretation proposed
by Markovich, the generation of meaning is consistently transferred to the reader (the “ideal
reader” capable of recognizing pretexts). In Schmid’s model, the generation of meaning ultimately
falls within the competence of the “abstract author”; (3) Markovich searches for the
meaning of a literary work in the dynamic of the “syuzhet” carried out on the “surface of
the text”. Schmid searches for the meaning of a literary work in the “story” (“Geschichte”)
hidden behind the text; (4) The attitude in respect to “innovation” or “traditionality” of the
proposed readings. Since Schmid believes that the “history” contained in the text is not only
(and not so much) manifested in the “overlying” stages of narrative transformations, but is
deliberately obscured by the techniques used at these levels, accordingly, he tends to try to
“discover” some sense, hitherto hidden; hence — the desire for interpretations as unexpected
as possible. Against this background, it may seem that Markovich, following the semantic
twists of Pushkin’s plot, does not discover something stunningly new; however, the feeling of a
“normal state of things” arises in this case not from the lack of novelty, but from the adequacy
of the proposed reading and the interpreted text; (5) Two different concepts of “life-likeness”.
For Schmid, an integral part of life-likeness is the coherence of the concept of characters and
clear psychological motives behind the actions. For Markovich, “life-like” is a limitation of our
knowledge. He emphasizes that our ability to guess what is happening to the souls of Pushkin’s
heroes is almost identical to the real limits of our ability to understand “real-existing living
people”. In addition, the comparison of Markovich vs. Schmid is analysed considering the
general situation in literary criticism in Russia of the late 1980s–2000s

Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
No full textThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012
Transient observations : the textualizing of St Helena through five hundred years of colonial discourse
No full textThis thesis explores the textualizing of the South Atlantic island of St Helena (a
British Overseas Territory) through an analysis of the relationship between
colonizing practices and the changing representations of the island and its
inhabitants in a range of colonial 'texts', including historiography, travel writing,
government papers, creative writing, and the fine arts.
Part I situates this thesis within a critical engagement with post-colonial
theory and colonial discourse analysis primarily, as well as with the recent
'linguistic turn' in anthropology and history. In place of post-colonialism's rather
monolithic approach to colonial experiences, I argue for a localised approach to
colonisation, which takes greater account of colonial praxis and of the continuous
re-negotiation and re-constitution of particular colonial situations.
Part II focuses on a number of literary issues by reviewing St Helena's
historiography and literature, and by investigating the range of narrative tropes
employed (largely by travellers) in the textualizing of St Helena, in particular
with respect to recurrent imaginings of the island in terms of an earthly Eden.
Part III examines the nature of colonial 'possession' by tracing the island's
gradual appropriation by the Portuguese, Dutch and English in the sixteenth and
early seventeenth century and the settlement policies pursued by the English
East India Company in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century.
Part IV provides an account of the changing perceptions, by visitors and
colonial officials alike, of the character of the island's inhabitants (from the late
eighteenth to the early twentieth century) and assesses the influence that these
perceptions have had on the administration of the island and the political status of
its inhabitants (in the mid- to late twentieth century).
Part V, the conclusion, reviews the principal arguments of my thesis by
addressing the political implications of post-colonial theory and of my own
research, while also indicating avenues for further research.
A localised and detailed exploration of colonial discourse over a period of
nearly five hundred years, and a close analysis of a consequently wide range of
colonial 'texts', has confirmed that although colonising practices and
representations are far from monolithic, in the case of St Helena their continuities
are of as much significance as their discontinuities
