“Exsultate Jubilate” by W. A. Mozart in the Hallelujah Paradigm of European Culture and Music
Authors: Gorelik Larisa 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study is to reveal the poetic and intonation uniqueness of the motet “Exsultate Jubilate” by W. A. Mozart in the context of spiritual guidelines of the European musical art of the New Age and its halleluiah paradigm. The research methodology. The interdisciplinary, historical and cultural, genre and stylistic approaches were essential for this work. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the fact that it is the first to summarise the poetic and intonational specificity of W. A. Mozart's motet “Exsultate Jubilate” in the context of the praise tradition of European sacred music culture and its Byzantine genesis. Conclusions. On the one hand, W. A. Mozart's motet "Exsultate Jubilate", created in the early period of the composer's work, incorporated the spiritual, ethical, genre and stylistic experience of the culture and music of the Austrian Enlightenment with its characteristic tendency to a harmoniously optimistic worldview that united the spiritual and secular genre spheres of musical creativity (including musical theatre). On the other hand, the analysed work by W. A. Mozart's work, which preceded it in the liturgical cycle "Gloria", its virtuoso fioritura nature, focused on the singing and performance capabilities of the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, reveals contact with the hallelujah paradigm of Christian culture and music, which genetically descended to the art of Byzantine calophony and its spiritual and ethical guidelines, which formed the basis for the formation of the intonational and performing specificity of bel canto..
Key words: works of W. A. Mozart, “Exsultate Jubilate” by W. A. Mozart, motet, Italian motet, Austrian Enlightenment.
Ukrainian Echoes in F. Chopin's Songs
Authors: Ying Qingqing 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the Ukrainian-Lithuanian core of the Biedermeier lines of F. Chopin's heritage with a focus on his Songs, which objectively represented a significant component of the achievements of his compositional genius. The research methodology is based on the intonation approach of the Asafiev school in Ukraine and China, which focuses on the common genesis of human musical and speech culture and has been developed in the works of leading Ukrainian scholars, including those of D. Androsova, L. Horelik, O. Markova, O. Muravska, Chinese scholars Liu Binqiang, Ma Wei and many other specialists. The scientific novelty of the work is manifested in the originality of the perspective of cognition of F. Chopin's heritage in the organic reliance of the latter on Ukrainian and Lithuanian sources in the line of A. Mickiewicz's "Lithuanianness", as well as in the fact that for the first time a musicological analysis of the symbolism and semantics of the composer's songs, which he wrote from 1829 to 1847, that is, throughout his creative life, is presented. Conclusions. F. Chopin’s songs declare an essential aspect of the embodiment of the "thoughtfulness" (according to I. Belza) of Chopin's heritage, since they implement the highly artistic European "provincialism" that leads, through the discoveries of J. Lenz and M. Gogol, to verism as a powerful trend in European and world art. The Lithuanian-Ukrainian components of "Sarmatism", which nourished the creative discoveries of F. Chopin's entourage in the persons of A. Mickiewicz, S. Witwizki, B. Zalesski and other artists, promoted independent lines of the composer's artistic development. They differed from his Biedermeier performance and Mazurka culture, as well as from the romantic and protosymbolist achievements that dominate the composer's major forms. F. Chopin's songs constitute a line of creative searches, undervalued by both the author himself and art historians of pro-romantic inclination, which are in the direction of realistic and verist principles – the latter were, apparently, unexpected for the author himself, who did not dare to publish miniatures during his lifetime, which he wrote throughout his life.
Key words: musical genre, Ukrainian style, nationality in music, song, F. Chopin's style.
Work of Ukrainian Composers in Concert and Performance Practice of Pianists of the Canadian Diaspora in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Osmachko Yulia 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the work is to highlight the main milestones of the concert performance activities of pianists of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century; to reveal the palette of their repertoire; to outline the role of Ukrainian composers in the performing heritage of emigrant pianists. The research methodology is based on the following scientific approaches: chronological, which allows the author to consider the artistic activity of pianists of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada in a chronological sequence; specific search, which consists in studying the literature on related topics; subject-targeted analysis of the concert and performance atmosphere in the diaspora, which helped to trace the individual performance style of emigrant pianists and the palette of their concert repertoire. The scientific novelty of the research lies in a comprehensive study of the main aspects of the performing creativity of pianists of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century, mainly in clarifying the role of the Ukrainian composers in their repertoire; for the first time, the concert and performance achievements of pianists Roman Stetsura and Stefania Zhovnir-Klos, little-known in Ukraine, were analysed. Conclusions. Having analysed the concert activities of Ukrainian pianists of different generations, it can be argued that the creative and performing activities of artists of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada have made a significant contribution to the development of the musical culture of Ukraine, as its representatives have made great efforts to preserve and popularise the national musical art in a multicultural environment. A vivid evidence of this is the inclusion in their performance repertoire of works by composers of different eras: from D. Bortnianskyi and M. Lysenko, to examples of the musical creativity of contemporary masters – B. Filts, E. Stankovych, M. Skoryk, H. Liashenko, O. Krasotov, Zh. Kolodub, L. Dychko, with whom the pianists worked closely.

J.N. Hummel’s Piano Concert h-moll op. 89 in the Context of Mozart’s Nineteenth-Century “light” pianism
Authors: Xuang Juntao 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this research is to analyse J. Hummel's Third Piano Concerto from the perspective of Biedermeier's establishments of Restoration "light" pianism, which embodied the spiritual aspirations to preserve the Rococo savings in the context of the adoption of the secularised art of the New Vienna School. The research methodology is the intonation approach of B. Asafiev school in Ukraine, which has direct analogies to the principles of Chinese musicology (see works by Ma Wei, Wu Go Ling). The specifics of the methods of historical and descriptive, musicological analytical, cultural, stylistic comparative, and interdisciplinary methods constitute the specifics of the apparatus of researching the works of the named author. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time in Ukrainian and Chinese musicology, J. Hummel's Concerto is analysed in the light of the positions of Budermayer's "light play" pianism in continuation of the Mozartian line of piano creativity (according to the works of D. Androsova and L. Shevchenko) and in the development of the concept of neo-symbolism of post-avant-garde modernity according to O. Markova. Conclusions. J.N. Hummel's Piano Concerto h-moll op. 89 is marked by an impressive breadth of pianistic lyrical fioritura and the absence of theatrical drama, which corresponds to the instructions of Biedermeier, who tended to the ideal beginnings of worldview and religious humility of expression. The Concerto reproduces certain signs of Mozartian constructiveness (the second exposition with the soloist's theme, mainly the compensatory function of the orchestra), strophic expositionality that "blurs" sonata relations. The main thing is the dominant position of "piano lyricism" of ultra-fast finger movement, signs of waltzing, nocturnal, hymn-like themes in the presentation of themes that correspond to Biedermeier's mythological and religious settings, based on the crescendoing dramaturgy of increasing the intensity of movement from the beginning to the end of the concert cycle in a two-phase presentation of the energy flow in the spirit of early Christian liturgy, adopted by the salon style of Biedermeier.Key words: piano Mozartianism, pianism, "light" pianism, musical style, musical genre, concert.
Resonant Waveguide Grating Biosensors Based on Label-free Optical Principle
Authors: Sallai Igor 
Published: September 2023

Label-free optical biosensors are powerful tools for the real-time monitoring of both molecular and cellular-scale interactions. Resonant waveguide grating biosensors are based on the detection of refractive index changes induced by molecular interactions and/or cell mass redistributions. The Epic BenchTop and Epic Cardio are two biosensors with high sensitivity and throughput that offer excellent potential for life science research. Both instruments are suitable for cell-based and biochemical assays. In this paper, I describe the principles of operation and performance of the Epic BenchTop and Epic Cardio label-free waveguide grating biosensors and discuss their applications in various research areas.
Untimely Freeman
Authors: Roudeau Cécile 
Published: September 2023

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s oeuvre has been historicized, and rightly so, but Freeman’s texts also resonate with our present. This chapter stakes out a third position between the injunction to only historicize and the pitfalls of presentism. It reads Freeman as untimely, that is, it opens up her texts to “unforeclosed possibilities” that have since her time come to pass, or not. The chapter focuses on two of her turn-of-the century collections of animal and plant stories, Understudies (1901) and Six Trees (1903) and reads them as Freeman’s testing ground for what today we would characterize as a radical critique of the ontological divide between nature and culture (Descola) and an audacious move towards alternative forms of kinships and queer assemblages (Haraway’s “oddkins”) across species. Not only does her fiction – as fiction – partly strip humans of their hegemony as social—and narrative—agents; it also sidesteps our ingrained anthropological dualisms without always eroding the boundaries between species. Freeman’s late stories do not bring us backto a pre-modern episteme nor projects us into a desirable utopia; they “speak back” to us from a present that is not ours yet uncannily continuous with it. Their contemporaneousness is a shared productive dischrony.
Franchising the Female Hero: Translating the New Woman in Victorin Jasset’s Protéa (1913), France’s First Female Spy Film
Authors: Delahousse Sarah 
Published: September 2023

This chapter argues that Victorin Jasset’s Protéa (1913), as the result of cross-cultural influences, reveals a cautious recognition of the New Woman that laid the groundwork for future French female spy films and allowed the production company, Éclair, to maintain economic viability in an increasingly difficult global market. It begins with an explanation of Jasset’s experience with transnational adaptation and a historical background of the small but growing feminist movement in France that demanded expanded civil rights and economic freedom; however, this movement was met with hostility because women who embraced careers over marriage were perceived as rejecting their patriotic duty to produce future male soldiers and workers. The chapter then asserts that the film’s adoption of empowering yet socially acceptable character traits evident in the American cowboy girl and female detective figure and its depiction of the title character protecting her vulnerable sovereign nation against foreign adversaries resulted in its popularity with French and, ultimately, American audiences in a way that sheds light on conflicting pre-war and colonial interests and concerns.
Shirkers (2018) Lost and Found? Tracing Transsensorial Trauma in a True-crime Road Movie
Authors: Sim Jiaying 
Published: September 2023

This essay focuses on the role of women in Sandi Tan’s auto-documentary, Shirkers (2018). The premise of the film is self-referential: In 1992, a group of three 18-year-old Singaporean girls—including Tan—banded together to write, fund, and produce an independent road-movie of the same name about a teenage killer, only to have the 70 rolls of footage stolen by their teacher/original Shirkers director, George Cardona. 20 years later, the original film reels resurface when Cardona’s widow returns them to Tan. Thus, Shirkers’ narratological appeal appears to depend on the original Shirkers where found footages are interspersed with in-depth interviews of the three female filmmakers and others privy to the original Shirkers’ filmmaking process. The mystery behind the stolen intellectual property is solved not by law enforcers, but by bringing the women behind the scenes to the foreground. Shirkers’ meta-fictional and transmedia characteristics produce a film within a film, a film about making a film, that emphasises how collaborative ‘sense-making’ produces affective screen experiences. As such, the audience must look beyond any initial fixation with the mysterious theft and disappearance of the original Shirkers to consider how transnational sensoria produced through screen experience traverse time, place, cinematic form and medium.
How Does Meta Work?
Authors: Roche David 
Published: September 2023

Much of the literature on metafiction and reflexivity adopts a typological approach to explain the operations and functions of specific devices. Chapter 2 thus opens with a discussion of such typological approaches, with special attention to the most elaborate (Linda Hutcheon’s on metafiction and Werner Wolf’s on meta-reference). This discussion leads to a series of proposals: 1. the specificty of meta (in relation to reflexivity) is its aboutness; 2. meta is always analytical; 3. the explicitness of meta is a question of degree; 4. meta entails an act of interpretation; 5. it is usually intentional but not necessarily; 6. it seems to impose its own framework of interpretation; 7. reflexive devices alert to the presence of meta, which can be expressed through them; 8. meta is play, and play is learning.
The Reader's Joyce
Authors: Corser Sophie 
Published: September 2023

The Reader’s Joyce engages with core issues of literary studies by rethinking accepted literary, critical, and theoretical notions of the relationships between author, reader, and text. This monograph describes and queries the activity of reading prompted by the intertextuality and narrative of James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922), focusing on in-depth readings of the novel and its interactions with other texts from classical and contemporary literature to criticism, theory, and biography. The Reader’s Joyce presents an innovative approach to issues of reading by marrying new, close textual analysis of Ulysses with critical and literary reception studies. Central to this approach are new analyses of the now commonly underplayed significance of Homer’s Odyssey to Ulysses, and of how authority functions in the developing critical reception of Ulysses since its publication. Through the prisms of Ulysses and ‘the Joyce industry’ this monograph provides new perspectives on the author-reader-text triad in the wider field of literary criticism: diving into layered histories of concepts, challenges, and retreats in order to ask how we read now.
Gertrude Stein and the Politics of Participation
Authors: Parkinson Isabelle 
Published: September 2023

Exploring the politics of the right to write in Gertrude Stein’s practice and its reception, this book examines how conceptions of authorship intersected discourses of democracy and rights in the period 1909-1933. The persistent debates across a broad range of publication contexts over Stein’s legitimacy as a modernist author provide an instructive example of the way literary culture operated as a site of discursive contestation with complex ties to parallel discourses of democratic rights and national belonging. This investigation of Stein’s authorship is grounded in the premise that, just as equality in the public sphere more generally is based on membership of a group, so the right to authorial equality is founded on the recognition and legitimisation of a writer in a specific literary and artistic unit. This study of Stein and her milieu is a study of the corresponding processes of cultural inclusion and exclusion that shape her work and define her authorship. The book explores the way Stein reconfigured her authorship in response to rapidly changing political and cultural conditions and examines how arguments over her authorial validity reproduced debates about who should participate in public life, refracted an emerging discourse of human rights, and echoed fears about the consequences of mass democracy as political franchise was extended. This is an important analysis because it offers insights into the relations between literary and political discourse at a troubled moment in the history of modern democracy.
The Modernist Afterlives of Theosophy
Authors: Kilner-Johnson Allan 
Published: September 2023

This chapter examines the modernist afterlives of the Theosophical Society, and how the heterodox sympathies and sensibilities of Blavatsky and her followers would stimulate a return of Western mysticism in two deeply influential splinter groups of the early twentieth century: G.R.S. Mead’s Quest Society and Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophical Society. By 1909, Mead and Steiner had both fallen into disagreement with the Theosophical Society and saw an opportunity to propose a refreshed and repackaged theosophy rooted in the Matter of Britain, Rosicrucianism, and a Christological cosmology. While each brought their own distinguishing cultural quintessence to the enterprise (Mead took particular interest in the Grail mythos, while Steiner rooted his teachings in the healthy-living communitarian Lebebensreform [‘life-reform’] movement), both epitomised the modernist flourishing of theosophical ideals and the easy trafficking of ideas between mystical discipline and literary creation. At a time when the threat of war was increasingly difficult to discount, these two substantial outgrowths from the Theosophical Society represented an almost counterintuitive turn away from the spiritual traditions of India and Tibet to the spiritual inheritance of an increasingly fraught Europe.
Finnegans Wake , Modernist Time Machines and Re-enchanted Time
Authors: Erickson Gregory 
Published: September 2023

In this chapter, Gregory Erickson focuses on the idea of time as a religious or magical idea and on current engagements with historical ideas of modernist time. The chapter enacts an idea of magical time into the structure of the essay itself, by using short passages from James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, as well as fading pages from his handwritten Notebooks; it moves back through Einstein’s theories and H.W. Wells’ Time Machine, the physical ruins of Dracula’s Whitby Abbey, and it also looks at a 1908 article on the fourth dimension. The chapter then uses Joyce’s phrase “four dim mansions” --a pun that appropriately connects Victorian occultism and modern physics with misty castles of the past—to connect to the same phrase in an 1846 short story in The Columbian Lady’s and Gentleman’s Magazine that imagines a 15th century Spain. As the chapter weaves in the author’s own experiences of watching fantasy time travel dramas on television, it ponders how ideas travel through time, how “scripture” recreates and destroys, and how actual physical ruins enact, dramatize, and inspire these time traveling stories of ruin and decay. Writing against various theories of the “disenchanted time” of the modern era, Erickson propose that our engagements with these modernist texts instead reveal a form of “re-enchanted time” where the borders between magic, religion, and science are fluid and shifting.

Introduction: Genetic manipulation of Aedes aegypti is key to developing a deeper understanding of this insects’ biology, vector-virus interactions and makes future genetic control strategies possible. Despite some advances, this process remains laborious and requires highly skilled researchers and specialist equipment.Methods: Here we present two improved methods for genetic manipulation in this species. Use of transgenic lines which express Cre recombinase and a plasmid-based method for expressing PhiC31 when injected into early embryos.Results: Use of transgenic lines which express Cre recombinase allowed, by simple crossing schemes, germline or somatic recombination of transgenes, which could be utilized for numerous genetic manipulations. PhiC31 integrase based methods for site-specific integration of genetic elements was also improved, by developing a plasmid which expresses PhiC31 when injected into early embryos, eliminating the need to use costly and unstable mRNA as is the current standard.Discussion: Here we have expanded the toolbox for synthetic biology in Ae. aegypti. These methods can be easily transferred into other mosquito and even insect species by identifying appropriate promoter sequences. This advances the ability to manipulate these insects for fundamental studies, and for more applied approaches for pest control.
