LITERATURE studies, CHINESE genealogy, CHINESE literature, IDEOLOGY, and LITERATURE & history

The significance of pedigree has become more and more apparent to literature study. But compared with the complexity and differentiation view advocated by Foucault on western literature, the traditional Chinese theory of pedigree is much oriented toward sequentiality and relevance; yet both have their due drawbacks. The Complete Series of Chinese New Literature (1917-1927) provides us important insights from various perspectives, in particular its ways of selecting classical works, emphasis on the development lines, and its own observation system for constructing literature itself. Meanwhile, it sets up its relevant research dimension: to decide the status of a literary work comprehensively by its artistic value and ideological importance, and its representativeness and characteristics. The paper also pays attention to surveying the change process of the literature development, the historical data and their accuracy and details, and at the same time advocates the classical consciousness.

AGING, AGING in literature, EDUCATIONAL literature, HEALTH of older people, DEVELOPMENTAL biology, LIFESTYLES, and OLD age

This article deals with the presentation of old age in the educational literature for the elderly published in the Czech Republic after the year 1995. The educational type of literature is specified as covering handbooks that propose individual strategies and recommend a specific life-style for old age. The theoretical part of the study presents aging as an individual as well as societal experience, which must be understood in a new social and cultural context. The interpretative analysis looks at the themes of general life style, health and disease, and sexuality. These themes were discussed in the analysed literature on the basis of arguments about the possibility to affect the process of individual aging, with an emphasis on self-responsibility and health maintenance. Educational literature for elderly people represents a type of social acquisition, which is intended to help people achieve the ideal of a new type of aging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PROPAGANDA, LITHUANIAN literature, TOTALITARIANISM & literature, MIMESIS in literature, and MYTHOLOGY in literature

In this article relationships between totalitarian propaganda in Lithuanian literature are analyzed from functional and symbolic perspectives. The emphasis is on critical, mimetic, mythographical, model and falsification functions of propaganda evident in the official Lithuanian Soviet literature from 1940 to 1953. Two types of propaganda are singled out in the article, the ideological and the pragmatic. Since Soviet propaganda emphasized in particular the pragmatic purposes of systematic persuasion, ideological beliefs and routine public propaganda were more important to writers and propagandists than creative thinking about the tasks of literature or the need to engage in persuasion. Most writers of the totalitarian period simply imitated the more effective rhetorical models or patterns and disguises, competing among themselves in matters of loyalty to the regime in power. In the case of Stalinist propaganda, mimesis had not only persuasive but first of all ritualistic purposes, akin to games played in accordance with very strict rules. At the same time, Soviet propagandists and litterateurs had to be careful to remember what type of propaganda campaign was being waged by the party's official institutions, first of all by the party leader himself (Stalin), also the Central committee of the Communist party and the Party Congress. Thus mimetic propaganda required that one follow three kinds of rules: ideological, campaign-related and creative. By contrast, genuinely autonomous literature follows only its own mimetic traditions and seeks to perform its own inherent tasks. The creative function of Soviet propaganda literature can be defined by two different processes, persuasive mythography and artistic creativity. The former seeks to create symbols and legends and to propose original interpretations of historical events. The latter contains elements that could be interpreted from traditional literary perspectives characteristic of stylistic, rhetorical, genre, narrative or linguistic analyses. Pamphlets, poems, novels are legitimate genres that can be used for propaganda purposes. Pamphlets offer particularly convenient venues of criticism for the purpose of propaganda and the denunciation of hostile "enemy smiles" or intents. Propaganda verses are used to support or create new myths and symbols for use by a totalitarian society. Novels, however, can be used for the purpose of systematic persuasion only if they are included in the educational programs for schools, colleges and universities or are related to popular interpretations of historical legends. Stalinist epic novels often strove to create new legends surrounding historical events, class struggle and the role of the party in the advance of the proletariat. Works by several Lithuanian writers of the late Stalinist period, notably P. Cvirka's pamphlets, poems by S. Neris and T. Tilvytis and a novel by A. Gudaitis-Guzevičius are analyzed and interpreted in this article. All of these works were related to the ideological necessities of Stalinist campaigns of persuasion. Their authors were ideological conformists, active and creative propagandists, who expressed specific national as well as popular international feelings. Neris, Tilvytis and Gudaitis -Guzevičius, as well as the poet A. Venclova, received the State Stalin Prize in literature. Finally, the article argues for the necessity of specific philosophical and anthropological analyses of this kind of propaganda literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

NAMES in literature, ROMANIAN literature, ONOMASTICS, LITERARY style, FIGURES of speech, METONYMS, and NINETEENTH century

By analyzing three figures of the proper name in the Romanian literature of the 19th century this study tries to understand the reasons of a naming failure disseminated in multiple manifestations: variability in the form of the name, undefined reference, crisis of motivation. The figurative accidents of naming cannot be entirely explained as a reflex of a biographical drift, or through a precarious auctorial function yet to be defined. They interweave with the shortage of a literature in a process of reinvention, reflecting its uncertainties not only metonymically, but also as an experience of a specific aspect of the Letter. The proper name does not transcribe the formula of a singularity, but the specific and recurrent disposing of some properties, the typicalness of a manner that, ambiguously, is individual or collective. Therefore, the onomastic horizon reflects the perception of literature through its recurrent places, through its defining stereotypes that provide its productivity. The analysis of the aspects of the proper name reveals a reflection in the stylistic area that justify, through failure, the mobilization of certain reading methods meant to overcome the stereotypical shortage of a young literature.
