Khotbah Sederhana Dalam Kitab Ulangan
Authors: Pasaribu Ferdinan
Published: February 2021

PENGANTAR KHOTBAHTema kita pada minggu ini ialah “Saksi Itu Mempertaruhkan Hidup”. Sehingga jika berangkat dalam logika tema ini, kemungkinan besar bahwa ada seorang jemaat Kristus pada akhir-akhir ini yang tidak lagi setia menjadi seorang saksi Kristus. Mungkin saja oleh karena beratnya tekanan hidup, mengalami banyak tantangan atau lebih tertarik pada perkara dunia. Seperti halnya dalam cerita (2 Timotius. 4: 10) mengisahkan seorang pelayan Kristus yang meninggalkan pelayanannya oleh karena ia (Demas) lebih mencintai dunia dibanding Kristus. Secara sederhana “Seorang Saksi Kristus” haruslah (Mengikuti jejak-Nya) setiap waktu dan sampai selamanya. Setiap orang yang telah ditebuh oleh Kristus secara langsung telah terlibat dalam Panggilan Gereja yaitu menjadi saksi (1 Pet. 2: 9). Kehadiran saksi-saksi Kristus ditengah dunia akan menjadi terang. Terang yang mengubah setiap manusia.Salah satu “Panggilan Gereja” ialah menjadi SAKSI dan BERSINAR bagi dunia. Dan hal itu haruslah dimulai dari keluarga kita. GEREJA yang kuat dan dewasa adanya kehidupan jemaat yang (1) Hanya suka memberi (2) Rajin pelayanan (3) Rajin ibadah, Dll. Tapi GEREJA yang kuat dan dewasa juga haruslah RAJIN BERSAKSI. Karena Fondasi gereja yang kuat terletak pada (Iman, Persekutuan, Pelayanan, Kesaksian Hidup)
Comparing the Rightmost Group Seat Number for K Groups of People Under Random Seating Assignment
Authors: Technology Union County Academy For Information
Published: February 2021

Suppose there are $N$ seats labeled 1 to $N$ from left to right. There are $K$ groups of people that need to be seated. Denote the rightmost seating number of each group by $M_1, M_2, \ldots, M_K$. This article studies the probability that a group $k$ has the smallest value among $\{M_l, l=1,\ldots,K\}$ and its relationship with the group sizes $L_1,L_2, \ldots, L_K$. In particular, it is shown that when the groups are non-overlapping, the group with the fewest number of people tends to have the smallest rightmost value of $M_k$. This result can be generalized to the case of overlapping groups under some assumptions. However, the result does not generalize to all cases and we demonstrate this with counterexamples.

The Autocorrelated Bayesian Sampler: A Rational Process for Probability Judgments, Estimates, Confidence Intervals, Choices, Confidence Judgments, and Response Times
Authors: Zhu Jian-Qiao , Sundh Joakim , Spicer Jake , Chater Nick , Sanborn Adam N
Published: February 2021

Normative models of decision-making that optimally transform noisy (sensory) information into categorical decisions qualitatively mismatch human behavior. Indeed, leading computational models have only achieved high empirical corroboration by adding task-specific assumptions that deviate from normative principles. In response, we offer a Bayesian approach that implicitly produces a posterior distribution of possible answers (hypotheses) in response to sensory information. But we assume that the brain has no direct access to this posterior, but can only sample hypotheses according to their posterior probabilities. Accordingly, we argue that the primary problem of normative concern in decision-making is integrating stochastic hypotheses, rather than stochastic sensory information, to make categorical decisions. This implies that human response variability arises mainly from posterior sampling rather than sensory noise. Because human hypothesis generation is serially correlated, hypothesis samples will be autocorrelated. Guided by this new problem formulation, we develop a new process, the Autocorrelated Bayesian Sampler (ABS), which grounds autocorrelated hypothesis generation in a sophisticated sampling algorithm. The ABS provides a single mechanism qualitatively explains many empirical effects of probability judgments, estimates, confidence intervals, choice, confidence judgments, response times, and their relationships. Our analysis demonstrates the unifying power of a perspective shift in the exploration of normative models. It also exemplifies the proposal that the “Bayesian brain” operates using samples not probabilities, and that variability in human behavior may primarily reflect computational rather than sensory noise.
Comparing part-based representations of deep convolutional neural networks with those of human vision through representational similarity analysis
Authors: Huang Jiaqi Adam , Gerhardstein Peter
Published: February 2021

Multiple theories of human object recognition argue for the importance of semantic parts in the formation of intermediate representations. However, the role of semantic parts in Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN), which encapsulate the most recent and successful computer vision models, is poorly examined. We extract representations of DCNNs corresponding to differential performance with stimuli in which different parts of the same exemplar are deleted, and then compare these representations with those of human observers obtained in a behavioral experiment, using representational similarity analysis (RSA). We find that DCNN representations correlate strongly with those of observers, while acknowledging that these DCNN representations may not be part-based given an equally high correlation between DCNN output and part size. Additionally, the exemplars incorrectly identified by DCNNs tend to have less “human-like” representations, which demonstrates RSA as a potential novel method for interpreting error in intermediate processes of recognition of DCNNs.
Loss of control over eating: A systematic review of task based research into impulsive and compulsive processes in binge eating
Authors: Waltmann Maria , Herzog Nadine , Horstmann Annette , Deserno Lorenz
Published: February 2021

Recurring episodes of excessive food intake in binge eating disorder can be understood through the lens of behavioral control systems: patients repeat maladaptive behaviors against their explicit intent. Self-report measures show enhanced impulsivity and compulsivity in binge eating (BE) but are agnostic as to the processes that might lead to impulsive and compulsive behavior in the moment. Task-based neurocognitive investigations can tap into those processes. In this systematic review, we synthesize neurocognitive research on behavioral impulsivity and compulsivity in BE in humans and animals, published between 2010-2020. Findings on impulsivity are heterogeneous. Findings on compulsivity are sparse but comparatively consistent, indicating an imbalance of goal-directed and habitual control as well as deficits in reversal learning. We urge researchers to address heterogeneity related to mood states and the temporal dynamics of symptoms, to systematically differentiate contributions of body weight and BE, and to ascertain the validity and reliability of tasks. Moreover, we propose to further scrutinize the compulsivity findings to unravel the computational mechanisms of a potential reinforcement learning deficit.

Published: February 2021

Bear identity exists as an understudied subgroup among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). Given associations between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Bear identity, we examined prevalence estimates and effect modification between Bear identity, BMI, and cardiovascular health. Data is from February 2012–February 2018 and comes from a longitudinal-cohort of gbMSM in Metro Vancouver, recruited using respondent-driven sampling (RDS). We conducted univariable and multivariable logistic regression using RDS weighting. A total of 161 (21.3%) gbMSM self-identified as a Bear/Cub/Otter (BCO) and 48 (7.2%) gbMSM who identified as a BCO had a measured BMI ≥ 30. Multivariable results found non-BCO identity and a BMI ≥ 30 (aOR = 11.27; 95% CI = 2.88, 44.07) was associated with greater odds of history of cardiovascular health condition and/or associated risk factors compared to gbMSM who did not identify as a BCO and had a BMI < 30. The majority of gbMSM with BMI ≥ 30 identified as a BCO. However, BCO identity was not the most significant effect modifier for BMI on a history of a cardiovascular health condition and/or associated risk factors. Interventions should target all gbMSM with increased risk for cardiovascular disease and clinicians should be mindful of culturally sensitive prevention and care for gbMSM who identify as a BCO.
Queering ‘Queer’ Toronto Space: Transgressive QTBIPoC Drag Artists and Disrupting Homonormativity
Authors: Persadie Ryan
Published: February 2021

With the rise of mainstream drag cultures achieving international recognition through transnational circulations mediated by artistic platforms, such as RuPaul’s Drag Race, discourses of drag authenticity have also emerged. Such representations are produced through homo/nationalist logics of sexual citizenship, normality, and ‘modernity’ to regulate and manage definitions of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ drag performance. The politics of drag thus come to cultivate insular grammars of legitimate drag performance practice through the proliferation of a queer politics built on homogeneity and sameness and furthermore, one that often seeks to bifurcate queerness and sexuality from race, class, and transness, among other vectors of systemic oppression that push mainstream queerness outside of its contained optic of white, middle-class, gay men. Access, success, and livability in such ‘queer’ spaces for marginalized artists is then predicated on a conformity to a homonormative performance politic. While contradictory to, what is supposed to be, the transgressive potential of queerness, queer artists who engage in feminist, revolutionary, insurgent, and radical politics often become rendered always-already elsewhere to the geographies of mainstream queerness for wtheir disruptive and threatening potential. In this article, I am in conversation with multiple Toronto QTBIPoC drag performers who are situated within these positions of peripheral subjecthood as they work through archives of resistance and decoloniality to trouble and unsettle homonormative exclusions and work to queer ‘queer space.’ These artists include Babia Majora, Sydney Quest, Rhinestone Chickadee, Halal Bae, Amian Black, and Mallika. These transformative strategies of queer re-making function through geneaologies of what I call the “insurgent drag subject” where radical queer of colour performance practice challenge the homonormative as a site of universal queer knowing and being.
Editorial: Performance in an Age of Gross Incompetence

A drive toward professionalism animates a large section of the theatre and performance industry, but it also has its critics. But if professionalism directs energy away from creativity toward marketability, should we embrace its opposite: incompetence? The essays in this Views and Reviews section each explore different connections between incompetence and performance.
A Lesson in Failure: Vivek Shraya’s How to Fail as a Popstar
Authors: Lynch Signy
Published: February 2021

This article examines Vivek Shraya’s debut theatre show How to Fail as a Popstar, which played at Canadian Stage in Toronto in February 2020. The show revolves around the multidisciplinary artist’s music career and her struggle and subsequent failure to achieve pop superstardom. With reference to contemporary artists and scholars writing about failure and theatre, including Sara Jane Bailes, Sarah Garton Stanley, Jordan Tannahill, and Jack Halberstam, this article observes how Popstar takes on and subverts the music biography genre and intervenes in contemporary discussions about failure in the theatre. Ultimately, it argues that Popstar uniquely addresses failure in a post-truth Trumpian era by subverting conventional narratives in which failure is only a stumbling block on the road to success, by focusing on failure’s devastating emotional reality.

Published: February 2021

The use of SCC (Self Compactibility Concrete) concrete in Indonesia is increasing in the field, especially for a variety of buildings that require large compaction speeds or use concrete that can compact itself. SCC Concrete Technology in the construction industry is growing, especially in meeting the needs of the construction world. Added material is an alternative material used to increase the strength characteristics of the concrete. Likewise the addition of glass powder waste, and bauxite waste in making SCC concrete is expected to increase the compressive strength concrete. Fresh concrete, which belongs to the self-compacting concrete (SCC) group, has a very high slump value (more than 20 cm), so measurements with cone abrams are no longer effective. The use of these materials as substitute materials and added based on the thought to utilize glass waste and , bauxite waste in order to reduce the impact of environmental pollution and provide economic value. This study uses glass powder as glass waste and bauxite waste as added material for cement. This study uses four kinds of mixed compositions, namely 0% (ordinary concrete); 2.5% mixture; 5% and 7.5% by weight of cement as added material from glass waste and bouksit waste, where each composition consists of 3 cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm. Until now there has never been any research from mananpun to test the 2 (two) mixtures, therefore we want to test it so that glass waste and bauxite waste are not wasted and can be reused, especially in making SCC concrete. From the research results it was found that the maximum slum cone test results were in the 2.5% variation that is equal to 44.3 cm, while the minimum at 0% was 29.3 cm. The maximum compressive strength at the age of 3 days is 455,418 kg / cm2 for variations of 7.5% while the minimum is at a variation of 2.5% of 200.469 kg / cm2 at 7 days of concrete.

A Rose by Any Other Name May Smell Different
Authors: Sae Kitamura
Published: February 2021

Using William Shakespeare’s name is considered helpful for marketing films in English-speaking regions because of the authority that this name wields. This article reveals a different marketing landscape in Japan, where film distribution companies are indifferent to associations with Shakespeare. For example, when Ralph Fiennes’ Coriolanus (2011) was released in Japanese cinemas, it was retitled The Proof of the Hero; the Shakespearean association was deliberately erased from the Japanese title. Such a marketing policy should be situated within a wider trend of promoting non-Japanese films in Japan. It is possible to point out three major reasons: the unpopularity of American comedy films, the relative unpopularity of theatre, and Japanese distributors’ heavily localised marketing policies, which are often criticised by fans on social media.
Entrepreneurship, intellectual property and innovation ecosystems
Authors: Reis Diego , Moura Fábio , Aragão Iracema
Published: February 2021

This research aims to determine the relationship between entrepreneurship, intellectual property and innovation ecosystems at a global level. To assess the structural relationships between ecosystems, the unconditional quantile regressions using annual country data are estimated from two perspectives, namely: pooled data and data with fixed effects and time control. The Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI), the US Chamber International IP Index (IPI) and the Global Innovation Index (GII) are used as a proxy for the entrepreneurship, intellectual property and innovation ecosystem, respectively. The results indicate that the entrepreneurship and intellectual property ecosystems has a causal relationship with the global innovation ecosystem. However, when control of individual and fixed time effects is included, the relationship between ecosystems is confirmed in just a few quantiles. The sterile results require efforts from public, private and other agents to improve the performance of ecosystems, especially to increase the generation of innovative assets. This study looks at ecosystems from a different perspective, and the results are relevant to policymakers looking to improve the ecosystems of entrepreneurship, intellectual property and innovation. The originality of this article lies in bringing together issues that are generally dealt with in theoretical and empirical literature in separate domains. The study of the relationship between ecosystems from global indexes remains a little explored field, despite the various alternative approaches already investigated.

Aerobic and resistance physical exercise can activate different molecular pathways due to different intensities, duration, and mechanical loads imposed on the muscles. The activity can result in metabolic adaptations, such as increased mitochondrial mass, oxygen supply, glucose uptake, and antioxidant capacity. The method of this systematic review followed recommendations proposed by the PRISMA Statement. Were included studies that used physical exercise as an intervention in rats and mice with induced colorectal cancer. The Studies' selection was on databases: Bireme, PubMed, Science Direct, Medline, Ibecs, Lilacs, Bdenf, Binacis, Scielo, and bibliographic references selected articles. Animal models researches showed that aerobic and resistance exercise could reduce several risk factors like oxidating stress and the tumor's pro-inflammatory status. That happens due to cytokines' regulation, thereby improve organic's defenses and reduce colon inflammation.
Student Performance Prediction Based on a Framework of Teacher’s Features
Authors: Ribeiro Trindade Fernando , James Ferreira Deller
Published: February 2021

Teachers teaching skills are essential to motivate students’ engagement in online educational environments, where students and teachers interact with each other, generating a large amount of educational data. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no previous study that takes advantage of the huge quantity of teachers’ behavioral data to predict students’ performance. To fill this research gap, we elaborated a theoretically based framework of teacher’s characteristics, that guided an automatic data collection of teachers’ behaviors to predict students’ performance. The implementation of a computational prediction system applied the Random Forest classifying algorithm, which achieved better performance, according to AUC metric, when compared to other algorithms. Two exploratory case studies were conducted to investigate the efficiency and efficacy of the framework of teacher’s features in Goiás Judicial School EJUG teachers in Brazil. The results from the case studies shown that the framework is effective to predict students’ performance. This work contributes to distant education, enabling monitoring teachers’ actions aiming students’ academic best achievements.

This paper is a conceptual paper that discusses issues related to earnings management on firm value and the role of corporate governance in minimizing earnings management practices so as to increase firm value. Previous theoretical studies have shown that earnings management is effectively controlled by the corporate governance system and performance. In addition, the results of previous studies found empirical evidence that there is a positive relationship between earnings management and firm value. From the theoretical discussion and previous research, it is concluded that earnings management practices have a positive effect on firm value as moderated by corporate governance.
THE RUSSIAN CONSUL IN DAMASCUS PRINCE BORIS N. SHAKHOVSKOY’S ROLE IN INTERFAITH PEACE ON THE EVE OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of science (MOSCOW), Sarabiev Aleksei V.
Published: February 2021

Prince Boris N. Shakhovskoy (1870–1926), the Russian consul in Damascus from 1907 until the First World War, left to his descendants a legacy of attentive and balanced diplomacy. His reports to the Russian Embassy in Constantinople and to the 1st Division of the Foreign Ministry contain invaluable information shedding light on interfaith relations in the Syrian regions of the Ottoman Empire on the eve and after of the Young Turk Revolution, as well as on the early months of the so-called Great War (WWI). The article analyzes the messages of the diplomat on various aspects of the religious situation in the region. He considered the activities of the Islamist organization Muslim League in Damascus, which aimed at enforcing Sharia law throughout Syrian society and countering non-Muslim and European influence in the region. An anxious change in interfaith relations is being evaluated, when Muslim suspicion towards Christians grew, aggravated by the common conscription in the context of the Tripolitan and two Balkan wars. The consul attentively followed the problems of the participation of the Orthodox Arabs in the Ottoman institutions, as well as the attempts to join the English Old-Catholics to Orthodoxy, acting through Metropolitan of Beirut. Of historical interest is also the information about the transition of the Syrian Jacobites to Catholicism, as well as notes on the Catholic missions activities in the region. All these issues in the Syrian soil are viewed by the diplomat through the prism of competition between European powers, especially France and Italy.
Special Voting Arrangements in Europe: Postal, Early and Mobile Voting. Webinar series report, November 2020

Published: February 2021

Special voting arrangements (SVAs) are designed to expand voting opportunities to individuals who are otherwise not able to vote. Safeguards that protect the equality, secrecy and transparency of the vote are vital for successful implementation of SVAs. Over the past few decades, countries across Europe have been increasingly adopting SVAs—particularly postal, early and mobile forms of voting. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated their use throughout the year 2020. International IDEA and the Association of European Election Officials (ACEEEO) convened a series of online webinars in October and November 2020 on SVAs. This report summarizes key insights and reflections from each of the three webinars.
The Ontological Essence of Transferring the Word Meaning: the Interpretive Resource of a Metaphor
Authors: Chervinska Olha , Dzyk Roman
Published: February 2021

Taking in to account the analytical experience of Metaphorology, the article understudies deals with the ontological essence of a literary metaphor. It mostly occurs as a receptive issue and is regarded on a specific example of poetry by W. Shakespeare’s – the central figure of “the western canon”. Particular emphasis has been laid on Sonnet 64 and its Ukrainian and Russian translations, where the paradigm of time arises as a basic metaphor. According to O. Potebnia’s concept, time, as an image, always preserves its “inner form”: it is anthropomorphic and in all respects corresponds to the archaic mythologeme, which is further on is implemented as a detailed generative metaphor. A multi-componential metaphor of a “deadly thought” (“This thought is as a death”) about the destruction and fatal end of all things, which perfectly corresponds to the overall theme of the sonnet, consistently appears, unfolds and gets materialized in Shakespeare’s text. It transforms the abstraction of thought into a format of metaphorical imagery, the latter being distinctly conveyed in practically all translations. This metaphor is formed along an “ontological spiral” by zeugma (a four-time repetition of ‘when’, eventually attached to the generalization “Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate...”). This classical figure also models a compositional frame of metaphors in the sonnet. Relying on the issue of primacy in the ontological pair “essence” and “substance”, we might conclude that metaphor, being treated as a subjective reality-text, creates simultaneously “non-being” and is considered as a specific, fragmentary copy of the world, its quasi-original. The paradox of the phenomenon lies in the fact that “plunging” into the metaphorical field, we thus deeply penetrate into non-being, however heading to reality.
Metaphorical Code of Perceiving a Literary Text
Authors: Ivanyuk Boris
Published: February 2021

In this case, metaphor is regarded in a receptive aspect, as a place of author’s and reader’s dialogic encounter. It is also considered as a subject of reflection that acquires some features of literary being. The article deals with a selective nature of such a structural component of a metaphor as the predicate, as well as emphasizes semantic relativity of a metaphor. Metaphor is viewed as linguistic co-being in relation to being. The paper suggests a description of a conventional algorithm of dialogic perception of a metaphor. It also sets forward an assumption that the immanent assimilation of the text is possible provided it is assigned with the features of a self-sufficient and unconditional reality, which unites both of its basic characteristics (the content and the form) into a single form-content unity, whereas the text sources acquire additional meaning of the context, with which they are interrelated. As for professional reading of the text, the article under studies regards the two interconnected procedures: analysis and interpretation, which may be compared to a dual perception of the object of metaphoric reflection: internal (usage) and external (in a predicative edition). The essence of analysis (reproduction) lies, above all, in its empathic usage in the text, that is in questioning the structural-semantic unity of the text as a peculiar form-content reality, created by demiurgic author’s will and intention. The major point of interpretation is closely associated with reflecting metaphoric codes of the text in recipient’s individual consciousness. In particular, in the circumstances, proposed by the postmodernist image of the world, there take place structural changes in the text itself. Consequently, it leads to a growing role of play rhetoric in the text formation. The figures of this type of rhetoric aim at persuading the reader in text reality as in a mimetic simulacrum, devoid of referential connections.

Authors: Macenka Svitlana
Published: February 2021

In view of the importance of music as metaphor in the famous works of German literature (Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus, Hermann Hesse's The Bead Game) and with reference to numerous statements made by the authors about music as an important element of their creativity, the article offers insight into the advantages of metaphorical approach to the analysis of music in literature as one that is productive and compatible with intermediality. As some Germanic literary studies papers attest, the proponents of metaphorical understanding of the interaction between literature and music (e.g. English modernist literature researcher Sarah Fekadu, Hermann Hesse's scholar Julia Moritz, theoretician of literature and jazz relations Erik Redling) rely on leading concepts about metaphor (those by Wilhelm Köller, Hans Blumenberg, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson) to substantiate the specific idea of musicality behind literary text. In particular, J. Moritz suggests that the musicality of a literary text should be perceived as metaphor which enables different ideas, depending on context or literary phenomena. Music and literature in this case form a completely different link, in which not the forms of art themselves but the perceptions of them are transformed in such a way as to create a new image which reveals a specific quality of literary text. It is emphasized that the metaphorical model helps solve the dilemma of whether “real” music can be found in literature as we no longer speak of such medium as “music” but of musicality as a specific quality of literature. That is why, literature which possesses musicality does not need to give up its essence to imitate music. The interdisciplinary character of the metaphorical understanding of music is also discussed and exemplified by current music studies papers which study literature. Music studies scholars do not deny the interaction between the two sign systems – music and literature. Thus, Christian Thorau claims that metaphorical calling is the calling of “contrastive exemplification”, figurative and sensual calling of common and different qualities. Semiotic prospect maintains sensibility where heterogeneous sign constellations (for instance, painting and music but also music and verbalized text) produce the moment of conflict through different sign forms regardless of the strength of semantic compatibility or difference. Within the semiotic mode this conflict may be studied as cross-modal metaphorism.
Metaphor as Discourse Main Element
Authors: Oliander Luiza
Published: February 2021

The article deals with the relationship between metaphor and discourse. The metaphor is characterized as the main element of discourse. In the analysis, the emphasis is on its understanding by Bakhtin, when the discourse appears as a “whole utterance”, as a “unit of verbal communication”, which has not meaning, but “meaning related to value – truth, beauty, etc. – and requires a reciprocal understanding which includes an assessment.” According to these positions, on the material of Pushkin’s “The Bronze Horseman”, the works of S. Dovlatov, the works of P. Florensky and others it is proved that the metaphor is a living phenomenon, that “metaphor is a paradigm,” it, “like rapids on a river, makes the recipient's mind boil” (P. Ricoeur). A metaphor is examined as a means of enriching the productivity of philosophical thinking, and it can be a “body of philosophy” (T. Adorno).
Life as a Metaphor and Metaphor as a Foundation for Poetic Translation
Authors: Tabachnikova Olga
Published: February 2021

The first part of the article examines the phenomenon of metaphor in its ontological sense – as an integral part of the poetic worldview. Using the example of the famous extended metaphor in describing the ball in Nikolai Gogol’s novel “Dead Souls”, we discuss the extension of meanings that occurs at the level of aesthetics as a direct effect of the metaphor. In the second part of the article, the metaphor is considered as a supporting element of the poetic construction, which in a certain sense plays the role of an invariant in the process of poetic translation. Using my own translation activities as an example, I am trying to trace the transplantation of a poetic metaphor from English into Russian. Moreover, the metaphor, that terminologically means movement, a certain flow (and extension) of meaning, is analysed as a scientific model. In constructing this model, the author’s goal is not identification, but approximation, not blind similarity, not far-fetched comparison of the two phenomena (even if formally suitable), but the discovery of deep kinship. Moreover, as stated in the article, this kinship does not have to be conveyed by the totality of qualities – instead, it aesthetically follows from the main features. Using translations from 20th-century English poetry (Robert Frost and Wilfred Owen), specific poetic decisions made by me as a translator are discussed. At the same time, general issues that inevitably arise in translation are also addressed, in particular, on the choice of a poetic form depending on the cultural context and on both poetic traditions. In this case, our goal is to trace what happens with a metaphor in the process of translation, what transformations it undergoes.
Metaphor in M. Proust’s Artistic World: From the Being of Art to the Art of Being
Authors: Astrakhan Natalia
Published: February 2021

The article deals with the functions of metaphor in the artistic world of M. Proust. In the context of the novel sequence In Search of Lost Time, metaphor becomes a mechanism to implement involuntary memory, which allows to combine the present (impressions) and the past (memories). Metaphor, given by the associative connection between impressions and memories, becomes the main constructive law of the artistic model of reality created by the French writer.
The multifunctionality of metaphor correlates with the three forms of the subject of consciousness that appears in the context of the artistic whole of the novel sequence as an author, a narrator and a character. The author organizes the work of involuntary memory, based on the metaphor; the narrator balances what has been fished out of the past against the present with the help of experience associations; the character experiences the impressions by going through discoveries and disappointments.
Proust’s lyrical epos gives the subject the ability to move beyond the hellish circle of the present into timeless dimensions. The novels created by the author and the character, intersect creating the effect of full being, allowing the subject of creative consciousness to recover its identity by overcoming painful contradictions of individual existence in the artistic creativity as in the dialogical interaction with the other.
By using the formal and the hermeneutical methods with the emphasis on the philosophy of dialogue, the article explores the peculiarities of metaphor functioning at the macro- and microlevels. The former allows to construct the experimental picture of the world at the intersection of different time-space spheres that correlate with each other due to the spiritual and intellectual efforts of the subject. The latter allows us to consider the artistic image based on metaphor the core of the modernist writer’s artistic style and the way to the new concept of artist and art.
Monarch’s Multiple Bodies: Implementing Body Politic Metaphor on Present-Day North American Stages
Authors: Vysotska Natalia
Published: February 2021

The paper seeks to explore the strategies instrumental for the implementation of the body politic metaphor that had been active in Western culture since classical antiquity in the plays authored by present-day North American dramatists (Sarah Ruhl’s Passion Play, USA, 2010, and Timothy Findley’s Elizabeth Rex, Canada, 2000). Drawing upon the concept of the “king’s two bodies” (E. Plowden, E. Кantorowicz, М. Аxton, А. Мusolff, L. Montrose and other New Historicists), the author sets out to demonstrate that in S. Ruhl’s dramatic cycle the metaphor serves to indicate the inextricable links between the concepts of power, the sacred, and the theatrical, whereas Т. Findley uses it to study the ontology of sex and gender in political and theatrical contexts. It is argued that the age-old somatic metaphor conceived in the archaic layers of human psyche manifests its viable receptive potential through its efficient functioning in the early 21st century cultural artifacts.
Metaphor in the Context of Baltic Music: the Idea of Eternal Return
Authors: Landsbergytė-Becher Jūratė
Published: February 2021

Metaphor is the essential form for building momentum in the phenomenon of Baltic music. It created a new silent style of defensiveness and transcendentality, which eventually could help to change the self-awareness of the nation. The purpose of this article is to research the linguistic power of a metaphor, its transfer into the music and how it helped to uncover disinformation in the period of Soviet ideological domination. The comparative methodology is used to examine metaphors in the areas of music, literature, political science, and aesthetics of art philosophy. This article is structured to show the motion of metaphor in particular turns of time. Metaphor is a powerful instrument to raise the dimensions of the archetypes of national identity and statehood rights. Its usage could be compared with religion, nature, sacrality of space and history, and it is necessary for the change in the knowledge about the nation’s development. Metaphor is the renewed road to comprehend the importance of statehood existence and what happened in Baltic states during the times of crucial changes. It could be said that the metaphor helped to regain independence without the army and spreads its influence similarly at the present day, penetrating the new media streams connecting the matters of statehood. The article findings summarise the origins of the power of the nation based on the phenomenon of the resurrection of archetypes (under the theory of C. G. Jung), which were rediscovered by using principles of psychology.
