Complete Concept

The article analyzes Anna Kostenko’s novel Tsurky-Gylky, the main attention in research is focused on the space of the Odessa courtyard, masterfully depicted by the author. The Odessa courtyard is an essential component of the Odessa myth. The body of texts depicting the “Odessa myth” in fiction is quite large, since the poems written by Alexander Pushkin the city has become a part of many works of literature. Today, the most viable myth is the Odessa myth created by Isaac Babel. The components of the myth are known: the romanticized image of criminal life, subtle humor, often on the verge of sarcasm; unprecedented generosity and hospitality. To analyze the novel, we suggest establishing a conceptual system. The most complete concept of “myth” in the context of the semiotics of the city is analyzed in the studies of the Moscow-Tartu school, which, in particular, researched such aspects as space, the structure of myth – V. Toporov; the definition of myth, myth and name – A. Piatyhorskiy, B. Uspenskiy, Y. Lotman and others. In conclusion, the restriction of space for the events that take place within one courtyard, thickens the text of the novel, respectively, the semiotic systems and hierarchies are superimposed on each other. The concepts of good and evil lose their “classic” connotative meanings. This is a kind of purgatory through which strangers passthus subsequently affecting the life of those living there.

The paper analyses the symbolic features of spaces of Serhiy Zhadan’s prose. The main attention is paid to the novel “Voroshylovhrad” and the name of the city that doesn’t exist on the geographic maps anymore. Most spaces, such as a petrol station or abandoned airfield, could be defined as non-places (the term of M. Auge). For M. Auge it’s a type of space that shows the hybridity of our life. It’s basically the transit places. That is why there are no emotions connected with those non-places: no special stories, no narrative, that could create the place itself. The analysed novel by Serhiy Zhadan assures that even those places that weren’t noticed by most people and were treated by them as non-places, were really precious for others because of their personal memories and their past time, spent there. The paper also analyses the special features of the novel according M. Auge’s term the “anthropologic place”. It’s a place that represents an identity of native group that used to live there and shows the power of a connection between the place and its inhabitants. It’s also a place, where they can feel themselves and make their own rules. Those things make places like the petrol station, worth to be defended from intrusions.

Body, corpse and death in David Albahari’s Gotz and MeyerThe article investigates the broadly understood record of Jewish death that emerges from the text of the Serbian prose writer David Albahari. Emphasizing the dominance of economy in the Nazi system, the author indicates those procedures described in Albahari’s book which justify such an assessment e.g. human reification, the body as debris, technical syntax used by German officials. Additionally, these considerations on death representation are supplemented with an endeavor to establish the Belgrade dwellers’ attitude towards the fortunes of the Jews. According to the author, the novel explicitly marks the spatial opposition enclosure vs. opening, the camp vs. the city center that is reinforced by the river, which during World War II divided the capital into Zemun belonging to the Independent State of Croatia, also the place where the camp was situated and Belgrade’s Serbian center. This demarcation intensifies the victims’ feelings of separation and loneliness, at the same time enabling the capital’s dwellers to occupy a comfortable position of bystanders.  Telo, mrtvac, smrt u romanu Gec i Majer Davida AlbaharijaRad se bavi vidovima smrti u romanu Gec i Majer Davida Albaharija.

In Cecile Pineda’s novel Face (1985), protagonist Helio Cara loses his face in a tragic accident. The novel documents the aftermath of his misfortune, as Helio grapples with his changing social world and strives to remake himself, piecing together both his face and the story of his life. In Face, Pineda works through the complex nexus of visible and invisible, focusing on the present absence of the human body and how Helio is variously seen and obscured as he moves through the city after his accident. In tracing Helio’s path from seen to unseen and back again, Face documents how community gathers around and through the human body, how Helio’s face galvanizes different groups into action. In this chapter, the author argues that contemporary photographers Stefan Ruiz and Ken Gonzales-Day deploy the body similarly to emphasize not the unique histories attached to individual bodies but rather the communal networks gathered around the bodies featured in their photographs. Like Face, the two photographers’ work can be seen as an extended project of reintegrating the brown body into historical memory and rescripting its political future away from subjectivity and rights and toward networks, institutions, and issues.

The article demonstrates the fact that the duality of human consciousness is connected by mutual projections with the topography of the Georgian Military Road and the model of the universe and also forms the system of narrators / characters and the structure of the novel as a whole, including the number of stories and the partition of the novel into two parts. The sources used by the writer in the formation of the narrative structure of the novel are reconstructed. The numerological code of the novel is considered, the language bases of the conceptual system are analyzed. The embeddedness in the conceptual system of the trinomial name of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov is demonstrated. The vertical and horizontal spatial orientation of the Georgian Military Road allows discovering the topographic connection of the road with the dual reality of Lermontov, in which the opposite poles of good and evil, divine and evil turn into one.

Man used to attribute good and evil in his life to celestial bodies. Therefore, ancient civilizations paid much attention to astronomy which had a lasting impact on mythology and religion. In ancient Iraqi mythology, sad and happy events like war and peace, death and fertility, flood and famine, were attributed to the appearance and disappearance of the moon.Among the post-modern writers who wrote novels about Iraq are the Arab-American Diana Abu Jaber (1959 -) and the Paris-based Iraqi Inaam Kachachi (1952 -). Abu Jaber's Crescent (2003) tells a love story between an Iraqi professor and an Iraqi-American girl. The crescent of the title has to do with the Islamic ritual of marking the beginning of a lunar month like Ramadhan. As the novel suggests it has to do with patience and the unknown as represented  by the sudden and unexpected reappearance of the protagonist (Hanif) after a long time of absence. Whereas Kachachi's Tashari (2013) details the scattering of Iraqis in different parts of the world after the-2003 events. It attributes this tragedy to the Pope's  refusal to visit the city of  Ur, the birthplace of Prophet Abraham which also used to be the residence of Nana, the moon god of the ancient Sumerians. While apparently both novels deal in part with the religious beliefs and practices related to the moon in Islam and Christianity, they, however, make no direct reference to ancient Iraqi myths. Although Abu Jaber expressed the wish of writing about "the legacy of Iraq", "the cradle of civilization"  and Kachachi wrote mainly about Iraq and its " good old days", but rarely they made a direct reference to the moon and its significance in ancient Iraqi culture. Nevertheless, both novels implicitly abound in references to the moon that can be analyzed in terms of its status and the lasting impact it had on ancient Iraqi culture, which will be the focus of this paper.

This chapter asks what happens to ‘the quiet novel’ in the noisy environment of the city. Through a discussion of two strikingly similar debut novels by Teju Cole and Ben Lerner, this chapter first examines historical and cultural notions of urban noise and, second, asks how Cole and Lerner integrate the din of the city into the body of their quiet texts. In this, the chapter asks what kinds of information can be read as quiet and what exactly determines a novel’s volume.

The article presents the analysis of historiographical achievements made by the scientists of the imperial era in such important methodological aspects of the historical study of the cities of Dnipro Ukraine in the last quarter of XIX – beginning of XX centuries as scientific definition of the concept of «city», its typology and functional purpose. It has been grounded that the works of pre-Soviet authors laid the foundations for defining basic concepts of one of the most complex and multidimensional objects of scientific study, which is a city. Being in close relationship, these concepts form terminological and conceptual system used by historical science. The problem of the content of basic concepts is caused by the existence of various forms of urban settlements and the reflection of the phenomenon of the city in the public consciousness, administrative and demographic statistics, from where it was introduced into science. As a result of historiographic analysis, it has been established that only certain aspects of urban issues have been covered in the works of modern scholars, including scientific definition of the concept, typology and functional purpose of the city. In pre-Soviet literature, the concept of the «city» was associated with a settlement that had a legal status and large population, mostly employed in trade and industry. At the same time, the thesis was formed about the identity of the concepts of «city» and «trade and industrial centre», which became dominant in the second half of the nineteenth century. This fact made most researchers to follow W. Sombart in recognizing cities only «in the economic sense». Scientists generally recognized the weakness of the urban policy of the Russian autocracy, which was primarily guided by administrative needs. And some scientists have tried to come up with their own vision of the criteria according to which a particular settlement can be considered to be a city.

The purpose of the article is to propose and justify the definition of “translation consciousness” of the interpreter. Methods of the research. The methods of the research are: theoretical ones – categorical analysis, the methods of systematization, modeling, generalization; empirical methods – the analysis of documents, the analysis of products of the activity, the content analysis of the novel. The results of the research. It was distinguished that the translation consciousness should be considered not only as a construct, a system of signs, but also as a phenomenon that exploded the system of knowledge about the world, as well as the particularities of using the strategies for the implementation of translation activities. Consequently, the translation consciousness is being facilitated, first of all, by the existence of various images of the world in the consciousness of the translator, images, which allows the interpreter to perform cognitive processing at a high level. Also in the conceptual system of the translator, they must be syncretically represented, although within the various theoretical paradigms differently structured by so called “native” and “in-cultural” concepts. We emphasize the special role of the translation consciousness, its media function in the translation activity, which ensures the ability of a translator to form a multidimensional system of relationships in their own consciousness. The latter facilitates the success of translation activities. Conclusions. The translation consciousness is the ability of the interpreter to carry out his/her professional activities, to reflect, adequately reflect the translation situation, as well as to establish his/her attitude towards the performance of the activity. The necessary component of the translation consciousness is knowledge, as well as the experience of the interpreter that it is the most significant in translating. In such a way the translation consciousness ensures the performance of translation activities at three levels: at associative one, at topical level and also at integrative one.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the association between nutritional status and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in middle-school students in the city of Montes Claros - MG. The sample consisted of 382 students, aged 10-16 years. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Body Mass Index (BMI). Metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined as the presence of two or more criteria in accordance with definition of the International Diabetes Federation. The overall prevalence of MS was 7.9%. 9.7% of students with MS were overweight and 72.4% were obese. Therefore, it can be inferred that carrying excess weight considerably increases the chances for a child to develop MS, and concomitantly increases the child’s risk for developing cardiovascular disease.
