Ahmed Body is a standard and simplified shape of a road vehicle that's rear part has an important role in flow structure and it's drag force. In this paper flow control around the Ahmed body with the rear slant angle of 25° studied by using the plasma actuator system situated in middle of the rear slant surface. Experiments conducted in a wind tunnel in two free stream velocities of U = 10 m/s and U = 20 m/s using steady and unsteady excitations. Pressure distribution and total drag force was measured and smoke flow visualization carried out in this study. The results showed that at U = 10 m/s using plasma actuator suppress the separated flow over the rear slant slightly and be effective on pressure distribution. Also total drag force reduces in steady and unsteady excitations for 3.65% and 2.44%, respectively. At U = 20 m/s, using plasma actuator had no serious effect on the pressure distribution and total drag force.

The process of destructive and non-destructive testing of the manufacture of high frequency induction welded steel tubes has always give better results at the Labiod-tèbessa Algeria tube construction plant such as tensile testing, folding, flaring and also the flattening tests whose limits of use were given by the experimental methods which have known deficiencies in measures in particular of the parameter of the height H which is given by the equation and that this difficulty is noted between the calculated and measured height levels. For these reasons it is necessary to find a numerical model of simulation which obviously replaces the experimental process to give reliable results with cheaper conditions in terms of cost and time which has been respected which allowed us to collect data. results and compare the different heights calculated and measure and often confirm the experimental tests.

Published: August 2020

In this work, we have investigated the effect of the natural Kenaf reinforcement on the improvement of the interfacile bond between two types of epoxy and Polypropylene (PP) matrix. Our genetic model is based on Weibull's probabilistic models and on Cox's interface model. The moisture content for each material is determined by Fick's law. Our simulation results show that the most resistant interface is that of Kenaf-Polypropylene compared to the other interfaces. This result coincides perfectly with the experimental data found by Paul Wambua et al. Which have shown that Kenaf is a promoter fiber for the improvement of the mechanical properties of biocomposite used in the field of civil engineering.

Authors: Sulik-Górecka Aleksandra
Published: August 2020

Conventional energy sources dominate in the Polish energy sector, which is a huge risk to meeting environmental protection requirements. Polish energy companies are facing challenges related to meeting the requirements of the European Union and the National Energy Policy. The paper attempts to answer the question whether the ongoing discussion on the future of the energy sector, dealing with such issues as development of renewable energy sources is reflected in the annual financial reports of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and covered by the WIG_ENERGY index. This study contributes to the extant literature on financial disclosures in several ways. First, the examination of compliance of segment reporting of selected companies listed on the Polish stock exchange with International Reporting Standards (IFRS) was carried out (particularly IFRS 8 – Operating Segments). Second, the information value of disclosures for investors in the energy industry was assessed. The empirical part was preceded by a description of segment reporting principles in accordance with IFRS 8 and the summary of challenges facing the energy sector in Poland.
Art and Spirituality. Explored on the Levels of Experience, Meaning and Research
Authors: Goud Johan
Published: August 2020

The area where literature, art, music, religion, spirituality, and philosophy split off from, run parallel to each other, and merge again is like a delta. This essay explores the complex interrelations between art and spirituality on three levels. First on the level of spiritual experience, exemplified by experiences of the art of still life (the painter Morandi, the poet Kopland). On the second level, several questions about meaning are analyzed, beginning with the question of meaning posed by the work of art itself. Both art and spirituality presuppose an open and receptive attitude. In philosophical reflections on the meaning of art, some aim primarily at its relevance for our insight into the reality of things, people, and animals, while others are more concerned with its significance for human action. Thirdly, some problems on the level of research are discussed. Research invites us to come to a critical relativization of what we have seen, heard, or read and also allows us to see that the often presupposed ‘immediacy’ of our experience is in fact mediated by pre-given schemes and habits. Three reasons are given to answer the question why it is meaningful to research these mediations and to search for the authentic meanings of art works (in particular works of literature) themselves.
Presence in Contemporary Religious Art Graham Sutherland and Antony Gormley
Authors: Stoker Wessel
Published: August 2020

This article analyses the topic of presence in modern and contemporary religious art by means of the work of two artists. Graham Sutherland’s Christ in Glory (1951-1962) will be compared to the Buddhism-inspired works of Antony Gormley. Sutherlands Christ in Glory is intended to show Christ’s presence to the involved observer: the invisible Christ can become present through interaction with Christ in Glory in the same way that Christ becomes present through prayer. Viewed in connection with other works by Gormley, Land, Sea, and Air II (1982) is intended to show presence to the viewer, the body as presence. This concerns an attitude of quiet concentration and awareness in connection with the ‘elemental’ world. Theologically speaking, the difference between Christ in Glory and Gormley’s works is as follows: the Christian tradition views the human being as a creation of God. He or she lives in his or her presence only in dependence on God. For Gormley, it has to do with a presence without God the creator. The human being is present as body and awareness in a world in which everything is uncertain. There is an unmistakable difference in their views of presence, but that does not mean, as we will see, that Gormley’s work cannot be fruitful for the Christian religion. Gormley’s Sound II in the crypt of Winchester Cathedral points the involved observer to the importance of the renewal of life after baptism through meditation as an important part of Christian spirituality.
De Pierre Le Vénérable À Eudes De Châteauroux: La Réception Du Talmud, Entre Hostilité Et Incompréhension
Authors: Lecousy Amélia
Published: August 2020

Cet article met en lumière la réception du Talmud parmi les érudits parisiens chrétiens entre 1140, avec la rédaction du Adversus judaeorum de Pierre le Vénérable, et 1248, la condamnation officielle par Eudes de Châteauroux. Avec la création des universités au XIIe siècle, la curiosité intellectuelle et la soif de savoir dirigent les théologiens chrétiens vers des textes non plus uniquement bibliques, mais aussi rabbiniques. Simultanément, la présence de l’Église et son orthodoxie doctrinale se renforcent, avec un désir encore plus fort d’encadrer ses fidèles. Le XIIIe siècle est l’époque d’une série de condamnations de thèses chrétiennes par l’Église pour prévenir la propagation d’erreurs dogmatiques. Avec Pierre le Vénérable, nous voyons pour la première fois un théologien chrétien s’attarder sur les textes talmudiques. Ce n’est véritablement qu’un siècle plus tard que le Talmud se fait connaître par les savants chrétiens, après que Nicolas Donin, juif converti au christianisme, informe Grégoire IX des erreurs blasphématoires à l’encontre de Dieu et du christianisme contenues dans ce livre. Une fois examiné, le Talmud est condamné 1240, puis solennellement en 1248 par l’autorité parisienne, soutenue par des enregistrements méticuleux, intitulés Extractiones de Talmut.
An AHP – Based Assessment of Scenarios for Promoting Employment of People with Disabilities in Latvia
Authors: Oborenko Zaiga , Rivza Baiba , Rivza Peteris
Published: August 2020

The employment of people with disabilities has multidimensional aspects - economic, social, legal, human rights, discrimination, psychological, ethical and responsibility aspects - with different actors involved representing various kinds of interests. The European Union Disability Action Plan and Strategy specifies the objective of promoting the employment of people with disabilities in the open labour market. The employment of such individuals is not only an economic issue, but also an issue of social inclusion, poverty reduction, equal opportunity and socially responsible employment. Effective and fair use of human resources for national economic development requires a variety of support mechanisms, including regulatory frameworks, the active involvement of local municipalities, and measures taken by state institutions. Because of the different issues and the various actors with different interests involved, an integrated way has to be considered to analyse the employment factors and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to explore and substantiate the possible scenarios associated with promotion employment opportunities for people with disabilities in Latvia. The research methodology employed for this study is based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and expert interviews are used to analyse the interests of all involved parties, in order to determine the best possible scenarios as to how to stimulate employment for people with disabilities. As a result, three scenarios to promote the employment of people with disabilities were developed. Although the results showed slight differences between the three scenarios, experts believe that the optimal scenario for promoting the employment of people with disabilities is the one in which the EU participates.
The association of anthropometric parameters with markers of insulin and leptin secretion and resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Cernea Simona , Both Emőke , Fodor Adriana
Published: August 2020

Aim: We evaluated the association between anthropometric parameters and markers of insulin and leptin secretion/resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Material and methods: This post-hoc data analysis from a cross-sectional study included 176 T2DM patients. Laboratory tests (serum leptin, soluble form of leptin receptor (sObR), C peptide, glycemic and lipid parameters) and anthropometric parameters were obtained, adiposity indexes (including body adiposity index (BAI), visceral adiposity index (VAI)), indicators of insulin resistance, β-cell function, and leptin resistance (Free Leptin Index, FLI) were calculated.

Results: The body mass index (BMI), diabetes duration, VAI and leptin correlated independently with HOMA-IR, while BMI, diabetes duration and HbA1c with HOMA-B. The total body fat mass (TBFM), C peptide, diabetes duration, BMI and BAI correlated with leptin concentrations, while the first three with FLI. VAI was an indicator of insulin resistance (β=0.166, p=0.003), while BAI of leptin secretion (β=0.260, p=0.010). TBFM strongly associated with leptin resistance and secretion (β=0.037, r=0.688, p<0.0001, and β=0.521, r=0.667, p<0.0001), and BMI correlated weakly with insulin secretion and resistance. While insulin and leptin secretion increased progressively with BMI, leptin and insulin resistance became significant only in case of obesity. The sObR was significantly associated with C peptide concentrations (β=-0.032; p=0.044), but not with HOMA-B or -IR. A strong positive correlation between the C peptide/leptin ratio and non-fat mass /TBFM ratio was noted (r=0.62 [0.52, 0.71], p<0.0001).

Conclusions: Parameters of peripheral adiposity correlated better with markers of leptin system, and those of visceral adiposity with markers of insulin secretion/resistance. The sObR correlated independently and negatively with C peptide.

Published: August 2020

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the changes of some oxidative stress parameters following an experimental urethral injury.

Materials and Methods: 24 Wistar-Albino male rats were used and 18 of them were exposed to urethral injury. Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) values in bladder and penile tissues and sera of rats during creation and healing stages of injury (control, day-1, 7 and 21) were examined and evaluated histopathologically.

Results: TOS levels in both tissue and serum groups increased nearly 4x fold in first day following injury. On the seventh day, TOS levels of bladder and penile tissue showed a nearly 50% decrease according to first day (p=0.005; p=0.025, respectively). At the end of third week, while bladder TOS levels decreased to control values, penile tissue TOS levels remained at high levels. The bladder TAC values mildly increased in first day (p=0.026) and then returned to normal levels in seventh day and continued to decrease down by half of control levels at the end of third week (p=0.005). TAC levels of penile tissue increased twofold in first day (p=0.021) and remained at same high levels for three weeks.

Conclusion: We observed that first day after traumatic urethral injury seems to be very important for evaluation of traumatic injuries and wound healing. We believe when an urethral injury was occured, both urethra and bladder should be handled with care and without delay during urethral healing, because of the presence of oxidative changes in bladder.
Phrasing the giant: on the importance of rigour in literature search process

Literature is the noblest of all the arts. Music dies on the air, or at best exists only in memory; oratory ceases with the effort; the painter’s colors fade and the canvas rots; the marble is dragged from its pedestal and is broken into fragments.

Elbert Hubbard

At a very early age, we start to develop a sense of playfulness. We touch things, we build things, we break them apart. Soon after we begin to utter words. We babble, we squeal, we try to imitate. Music begins to inform our bodily movements. What develops last and continues to develop throughout our waking lives is connections of words. The essential and characteristic features of words used to describe things within and around us are the hardest to grapple with. The same word can be expressed in different ways and could mean different things in different contexts. Literature, being the written expression of words in its various forms, has progressively shaped our world view.

Liberal news outlets around the world have been stressing recurrently that words matter, as the imagination of some politicians’ is set loose and boundaries to what one may say seem not to exist. However, despite this current societal struggle to adhere to facts, namely amid the current pandemic, science has remained irreducible in its systematic approach supported by the scientific method where facts and doubt do co-exist as a process towards the discovery and construction of new knowledge.

Authors: Deschryvere Matthias , Mikkola Markku , Conn Steffen
Published: August 2020

COVID-19 pandemic-related direct public support mechanisms have received more attention than previously and budgets for SME subsidies have skyrocketed around the globe. Currently, most support measures focus on short-term liquidity needs. However, policy makers have already started thinking about which role subsidies should play in the renewal of the economic structure once the pandemic dust has settled. The pandemic offers a good opportunity to restructure a company support system taking into account the structural barriers that innovation support systems have been subject to over the last decade. The aim of the analysis in this paper is threefold: (1) to map the barriers to innovation support, (2) to offer policy makers and SME support agencies a set of solutions to overcome these barriers and (3) to re-interpret these results against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic that started to unravel shortly after finalising the set of research interviews.

The frequent media reports on the unethical conduct of business and non-business practitioners has made the roles of universities in equipping organisation leaders with ethics are in question. They are required to foster a better learning environment that enables prospective leaders to enhance their moral sensitivity and appreciate the importance of ethics in their personal and professional life. Academic and non-academic staff of the institutions are in the front line of providing ethical role model to the students. Considering these influential roles an examination of the ethical attitudes of the staff is a good start. A code of ethics has been considered as a symbol of an organisation to preserve and promote ethical concerns. Therefore, ascertainment his research was part of a wider study on ethics in denominational higher education institutions in several cities in Java, Indonesia. In particular, it addressed the attitudes of employees of the institutions’ staff toward their institutional codes of ethics. Initially, this research was going to include employees from those institutions. However, at the time the research was carried out, only one of the institutions has adopted and published a code of ethics. Due to this fact, the scope of the research was then confined into a single institution. The purposes of the article were two-fold. The first was to asses the attitudes of the staff in the institution toward their codes of ethics.  The second was to ascertain whether differences existed between academic and non-academic staff regarding these attitudes. 
A cross-sectional survey was employed as the primary method to collect the data. The fieldwork comprised the distribution of a self-administered questionnaire to potential respondents through direct contact.  A purposive sampling was used to identify and invite respondent participation. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed of which 103 were usable, representing the overall response rate of 50 %. The findings of the research are discussed. A wide range of managerial and scholarly implications are outlined.

Published: August 2020

The value of rice grain content after harvest is quite high, around 20-23% in the dry season, and around 24-27% in the wet season. It was drying grain after harvest was processed by the conventional or manual method that carried out the grain drying in the sun. This method has several disadvantages, such as the dependence on the weather, requires a large area, and 54 hours for drying so that the grain becomes dry with a moisture content of 14.12%. From this problem, the researchers made a grain drying machine that could work automatically. The drying machine is made to solve the issues of conventional grain drying so that the machine was completed with a K type thermocouple temperature sensor and grain moisture content. Whereas the heating media uses a fire that is fueled with LPG gas, and then the heat from the fire has flowed into the furnace or grain drying chamber. The heating arrangement was made by regulating of flowing LPG gas to the nozzle through the opened and closed variable valve where the valve shaft was connected to the DC motor shaft. The application of the PID method also used in this drying machine, which has a purpose while controlling the drying temperature to match the Set Value (SV) or the desired temperature at 38oC. The grain moisture content value is considered to have dried up when the grain moisture content value is 14%. The PID method that is implanted into the ATmega16 microcontroller will give a signal to the motor driver circuit to regulate the direction of rotation of the DC motor connected to the opened and closed valve variable. PID method testing was done by trial error and has produced a steady-state error of 5.2% at S0056=38oC with constant values Kp=2, Ki=2, and Kd=10. Whereas for drying grain testing on harvested is done by selecting Ciherang grain with a moisture content of 20% and a weight of 3 kg. The grain drying process takes 30 minutes so that the value of the water content becomes 14% with a drying temperature of 38oC, so the grain drying rate on this machine is 0.17% per minute.

Published: August 2020

Salah satu tantangan baru bagi dunia kerja adalah tingginya jumlah millennial (Generasi Y) yang masuk kedalam dunia kerja dengan keistimewaan yang cenderung berbeda dengan generasi-generasi sebelumnya. Dalam dunia pekerjaan, millennial sering disebut-sebut sebagai generasi yang menyukai kebebasan dan fleksibilitas seperti kebebasan belajar, bekerja, maupun berbisnis. Generasi ini juga dikatakan sebagai challenge seeker. Tahun 2020 hingga tahun 2030 diprediksi bahwa Indonesia akan mencapai puncak populasi usia produktif sebesar 70% dari total penduduk Indonesia (Sebastian, Amran, dan Youth Lab, 2016). Hal ini bisa menjadi keuntungan untuk perekonomian dan kemajuan Indonesia apabila generasi millennial sebagai generasi dengan jumlah yang besar bisa dikelola dengan baik. Terlebih lagi apabila setiap perusahaan dapat mengelola tenaga kerja millenialnya. Generasi Y telah menjadi topik penelitian yang sudah banyak diangkat di dunia karena banyaknya usia produktif dan angkatan kerja yang didominasi oleh generasi tersebut. Hanya saja di Indonesia masih sedikit penelitian yang mengangkat topik mengenai generasi Y. Alasan yang melatarbelakangi dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah penelitian sebelumnya mengenai generasiY yang dilakukan di Amerika maupun negara-negara lainnya belum tentu sama dengan karakteristik generasi Y di Indonesia. Adapun jumlah sampel adalah 200 sampel. Hal ini sudah memenuhi syarat minimum sampel yang mampu digunakan untuk olah data statistik. Namun yang digunakan hanya 100 data karena data lainnya tidak bisa digunakan dalam penelitian dengan alasan jawaban responden yang tidak merata pada setiap kuesionernya.

Discourse-“Logophagus”: The Boundaries of Linguistic Creativity and Stereotypy in Advertising
Authors: Sokolova O. V.
Published: August 2020

The paper deals with the boundaries between linguistic creativity and linguistic stereotyping in relation to advertising discourse. Advertising discourse borrows language techniques and units from other discourses that allow defining the “secondary” nature of its semiosis and language. Taking it into account, the study compares advertising with the avant-garde artistic discourse which is genetically and typologically one of the main discourses-“donors” of advertising which can be described as discourse-“logophagus”. In the comparison of discourses, the paper reveals two types of linguistic creativity: linguistic and discourse creativity. Linguistic creativity is the creation of new linguistic units with the aim of forming a new language or updating existing one. Dis- course creativity is updating at the “microstructure level” of discourse aimed at the most successful achievement of discourse goals and increasing the effectiveness of communication. Discourse creativity is basic to advertising discourse. The study proposes a two-stage model of language manipulation. The aim of the first stage is “deautomatization” of the recipient’s perception that meets the criteria of linguistic creativity, while the aim of the second one is recipient’s “automazation” that corresponds to stereotyping. The paper explores the features of linguistic creativity and stereotyping in poetry and advertising on the basis of three text types: the avant-garde poetic text (“In the Car” (1913) by Mayakovsky), the hybrid avant-garde and advertising texts (“The White Red Wedge of White” (1920) by Lisitzky and “Soviet Alphabet” (1919) by Mayakovsky and Jakobson) and the contemporary advertising text. As a result, the study models a scale of linguistic creativity in advertising discourse. Linguistic creativity is a gradual phenomenon, the degree of which can increase or decrease depending on the existence, frequency and degree of manifestation of a particular parameter in the discourse. The main features of linguistic creativity are structural (the existence or not of linguistic anomalies), semantic (the existence or not of polysemy; explicit / implicit expression of information) and pragmatic (“strong” / “weak” communication) criteria.

The article is devoted to the experience of poetic visionarism and ekphrastic description in the narrative poem “Siberia” by Marina Tsvetaeva. Tsvetaeva’s poem is a text with a double status. On the one hand, this is a completed historical poem dedicated to the early history of Siberia and the Russian Empire (16 th – 17 th centuries). On the other hand, the poem is part of a large historical epic (“Poem of the Tsar’s Family”) dedicated to the collapse of the empire and the tragic fate of its rulers. The primary sources for Tsvetaeva’s poetic visionary work are the works of Siberian historians (K. Golodnikov, P. Slovtsov, I. Fisher and others), as well as the literary texts of her contemporaries (M. Voloshin). Marina Tsvetaeva has never been to Siberia, there were no meaningful encounters with Siberians in her personal biography, however her contribution to the Siberian text of Russian modernism can be considered as significant. The article explores the sources of several “living pictures” (poetic historical sketches of the morals of pre-Petrine Russia). In particular, the paper deals with the history of the Pokrovsko-Turin Monastery in Tsvetaeva’s poetic reflection. The historical sketch is significantly deepened by the appearance of the “Siberian elder” Grigory Rasputin within the 17 th century history. This figure, while still alive, was mythologized simultaneously on an hagiographic and a demonological basis. Tsvetaeva presents this exotic figure as a cultural revenge of pre-Petrine Rus. In such a historiosophical construction, an important role is played by the Siberian origins of Rasputin. Against the background of various “living pictures” of Tsvetaeva’s poem, one “revived” picture stands out. This is an ekphrastic image of “Menshikov in Berezovo”, referring both to V. Surikov’s painting and to M. Kuzmin’s famous poem “December freezes in a pink sky...”. Tsvetaeva’s image of Menshikov clearly takes on palimpsest features. A similar phenomenon (a multilayered work as a factor in the liberation of author’s consciousness from empirical reality) was examined by Yu. V. Shatin.
Paratextual Intrigue in the Dramatic Cycle “The Apartment of Colombina” of L. S. Petrushevskaya
Authors: Muratova N. A.

Abstract The article highlights the paratext specificity in L. S. Petrushevskaya’s drama cycle “The Apartment of Colombina”. It is stated that the paratext in drama is a zone of contact between dramaturgical and stage discourses, moreover, the paratextual frame explicates the space of direct interaction between the author and the addressee. In the analysis, a set of titles and one of the types of remarks is being updated, namely the locatives. It is being proved that from the point of view of a paratext, the cycle is an example of a polycode sense modeling when on the first level, we can highlight an inclusion of the dell’arte elements in the framework design, and on the second level, we should fix their correlation with the discourses of the characters. This structures’ clash is one of the features of the ambivalence poetics which is inherent in Petrushevskaya’s dramaturgy. It also demonstrates a conflict interaction between the nomination and the type of dramatic situation unfolding in the play, in which the intrigue is built autonomously in relation to the title. Special attention is paid to the organization of the chronotope in the plays of this cycle. A withdrawn locality in which the action proceeds simultaneously points out a social and domestic type of drama and the theatrical nature of what is happening in the plays. The author comes to the conclusion that, in addition to the direct function (stage directions), the paratext organizes the theatrical dimension of the plot. The key paratext role of the arts consists, therefore, in an effect of recoding the leading chronotope, which is here the apartment. In this regard, the apartment of Colombina appears as a receptacle for the entire theatrical form, and in this space of action, the characters and situations are variable only within the role, the mask. The principle that demonstrates a stylistic harmony of each individual play and the entire cycle of “The Apartment of Colombina” is the mobility and ambivalence of the paratext, which performs a reverse metamorphosis and transforms the scene of the plays into a stage platform. It is shown that there is a du- plication mechanism in the paratext of the drama cycle “The Apartment of Colombina”, when the formal living space becomes irrelevant due to an introduction of a metatheatrical code and exposes the actual stage.
Metacommunication in Plays by N. F. Simpson, D. Campton, and J. Saunders
Authors: Zhilichev P. E.
Published: August 2020

This paper deals with the problem of metacommunication in dramatic discourse. Following the approaches of Slawomir Świontek, Patrice Pavis, Hans-Thies Lehmann and others, it discusses the ways of compensating the lack of a single mediating figure in drama. This analysis employs the concept of “semiotic profanation of a symbol” developed by Yuri Shatin. The investigation is based on several English plays that embody the poetics of theatrical absurd. Norman Frederic (“N. F.”) Simpson’s plays A Resounding Tinkle (1957) and The Hole (1958) both make extensive use of such characters as authors, critics, actors, visionaries. Characters are familiar with established interpretative models (Bergson's theory or modernist visionary poetics), even applying those models to their own actions. David Campton’s play Us and Them (1972) and James Saunders’ play Over the Wall (1977) utilize mediating figures such as the Recorder and the Narrator. While both works present themselves as parable plays, the inclusion of narrative instances does not streamline the perception of aesthetic signs. Instead, it attracts the recipient’s attention to the dual nature of drama as a media (a text for reading and a part of a theatrical performance). In addition, all four plays tend to deconstruct traditional cultural signs such as the wall, the hole / abyss, the veil, etc. The paradoxal situation of being forcedly freed from established patterns of interpretation awakens the addressee’s receptive potential.
The Anti-Astrological Discourse of Maximus the Greek and Formation of Author’s Code in His Writings
Authors: Zhurova L. I.
Published: August 2020

The writings of Maximus the Greek (Maxim Grek) devoted to refutation of mantic astrology which proceeded in Moscow Rus in the second quarter of the 16 th century are analyzed. A conclusion is made that the opposition of two dominant pursuits predetermined the semantics of the antiastrological discourse: those were disproval of the ‘Hellenic’ teaching of star- gazers and affirmation of the force of Divine Providence, which granted the freedom of will to the Man (“the absolute rule of the Man”). Maximus the Greek based his polemic on the systemic relationship between the historic experience and the spiritual meaning.

The morphology of the anti-astrological discourse embraces such stable elements of narration as the history of star-gazing, the image of fortune (”the wheel of luck”), the fates of Biblical and historical heroes, and a quotation from the song of Prophet Anna (the First Book of the Kings, 2: 7–8). The function of these units of meaning in the writings of different periods by Maximus the Greek, the forms of their presentation, the contextuality, the meaning of verbal communication, and the accents chosen became the part of the theoretical system of the polemic discourse and allowed identification of the stages of formation of the author’s code in the writings of Maximus the Greek.

Maximus the Greek names the Romans and the Germans (Nikolay Bulev) to be the main culprits who initiated the spread of mantic astrology in Russia. Whereas in his earlier epistles, the learned monk from Mount Athos presents the history of formation of the pernicious teaching based on series of ethnonyms, in his later writings he pointed to Egypt and Assyria as the countries of the origin of star-gazing. Orthodox Rus is opposed to them. Movement from ethnography to geography made the scene of the anti-astrological expression more definitive. The representative series of mini-stories about the fates of the famous Biblical and historic heroes, whose feats were predetermined by the Divine Providence, served as a strong argument in the critique of star-gazing, and each name became symbolical in the sign system of the agonistic discourse of Maximus the Greek.

The quotation from the song of Prophet Anna (the First Book of the Kings, 2: 7–8) should be recognized as the leading through motif of the antiastrological text. Its functioning in the writings of the learned monk allows us to describe the praxis of the discourse. The process of modification of its semantics reflected development of the author’s intention in the history of formation of the theme variety of Maximus the Greek and of the author’s manuscript code (Iosaf’s Collection of Writings) in general.

The publication includes 3 texts of Nikolay Aseev: two short novels “About human condolence” (1918) and “The pointless story” (1919), and the article “Name exchange” (1920). They were published once in the unpopular and hard-to-get magazines “The Great Оcean”, “Bellower”, “Creativity” and never again, – like many other Aseev’s works, written in the Far Eastern period. However, they represent the groundbreaking poetics, its basics were laid in the age of “Centrifuge”, which the poet dishonored, assumed the mantle of “the back-seat role by Mayakovskiy” (M. L. Gasparov).

The short novel “About human condolence” incorporated the traumatic experience of the witness and the party involved in the civil war, the article “Name exchange” and “The pointless story” contains the detailed reflections, related to crisis events in language and literature.

The publication is provided with the opening clause with the summary about N. Aseev and the Far Eastern period of his novelism (late 1917 – January 1922). There are also some contexts reviewed, crucial for comprehension of the published works. “The pointless story” and “Name exchange” are compared to dissertations, articles and essays of V. Khlebnikov, S. Esenin, O. Mandelstam, Yu. Tynyanov.
