“Shuburshun” is the work of the Belarusian writer A. Karlyukevich and its figuratively and metaphorically is replete with an abundance of tropes with elements of national irony. The text is structurally complex, spiritually rich and elegant. The translator was able to show in translation the national color, spirit and ideal of the fairy tale, he felt the literary world behind the text that inspired the author and sought to recreate it in a holistic way. A significant amount of literary and aesthetic information is encoded in the work as well. Moreover, some words, in particular: “Shuburshun”, “Svisloch’”, etc., appear as the dominant units of the Uighur text. Authors lexemes and glossaries “entered” into the Uyghur text make the work mysterious, because of it they have a reverse effect. The Uygur translation of “Shuburshun” as a new independent aesthetic phenomenon, due to the interpenetration of various contents and forms, is experiencing internal implicit conjugation changes that rigidly interlink textual connections at a new level. This is how the principles of aesthetic interferences work and interact in any literary translation that acts as the dominant feature of bicultural aesthetics. It is about the emergence of a “different”literary and aesthetic reality in translation. In particular, we are witnessing an objective process of “entering” (or “invasion”) of Belarusian words into the Uyghur text, which affect the aesthetic consciousness of the reader.

Chapter 3, continuing Chapter 2’s intellectual history of the impression, begins by exploring British aestheticism and its roots in Kant and romanticism (Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, Immanuel Kant, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth). It then turns to twentieth-century theories of performativity, which, it argues, combine elements of the empiricist and the aesthetic (J. L. Austin, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, Judith Butler, J. Hillis Miller). James followed Pater in resurrecting the ‘impression’. Pater found in Hume’s impression a role for the imagination at the heart of consciousness. But the interpretive excesses of James’s protagonists’ cognitive impressions must also be understood alongside the more flamboyant aestheticism of Pater’s disciple Wilde, and his ‘critic as artist’. The most active of James’s impressions, however, are performative: they are impressions made, not received. Performativity helps frame an account of the impression that encompasses both the receiving and making of impressions, and the confusion between the two.

ABSTRACTDomestic interiors created during the Aesthetic Movement have often been interpreted in terms of the ideas of aesthetic autonomy associated with Théophile Gautier, Walter Pater and Joris-Karl Huysmans. This essay takes a different tack by analysing the aesthetic interior in light of concerns with health reform. It focuses on the writings and designs of architect E.W. Godwin (1833–86) who pursued interior design as part of an effort to foster a healthy life, one that consisted of hygiene, relief from urban stress, and an enlargement of the aesthetic responsiveness of his clients. He conceived of spare and calm interiors that were healthful alternatives to dust-infested Victorian clutter while concomitantly offering psychological respite from the ‘high-pressure, nervous times’ endemic to metropolitan life. This goal accords with Godwin's related interest in dress reform, a preoccupation that led to his participation in the Health Exhibition of 1884. By unpacking Godwin's specific contribution to the sanitary discussions that prevailed in Victorian Britain, I align the aesthetic interior with the central imperative of sanitary reform: promoting health through ameliorating Britain's urban environment.
