{"title":"Metaphorical Euphemisms in the Original Text and Italian Translations of F.M. Dostoevskij’s Novel Crime and Punishment","authors":"Aleksandra Burkhailo","doi":"10.30958/ajp.6-4-3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30958/ajp.6-4-3","url":null,"abstract":"The following paper deals with the euphemisms occurring in the original text and some Italian translations of F.M. Dostoevskij’s novel \"Crime and Punishment.\" Particular attention is given to the euphemisms formed via application of metaphor, as it appears to be one of the most effective veiling instruments. First of all, the main thematic areas of metaphorical euphemisms use are indicated and, subsequently, a lexicographic-cultural analysis is conducted paying attention, as well, to the essential functions and processes of formation of such a type of words and expressions in Russian and Italian. An important part of the article is devoted to the contrastive analysis of Russian metaphorical euphemisms found in the text of the novel and their translations into Italian. Apart from the masking meaning, metaphorical euphemisms contain those cultural and symbolic, expressed by means of semiotic content of denotatum, and this characteristic makes of them often a complicated translation problem to resolve. Some examples will be delivered in order to demonstrate the major tendencies translators follow dealing with the issue.","PeriodicalId":199513,"journal":{"name":"ATHENS JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY","volume":"219 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127327402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Power and Resistance: Disappointment of Socialism in Howard Brenton’s Magnificence","authors":"R. Farhadi, M. Mozaheb","doi":"10.30958/ajp.6-4-4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30958/ajp.6-4-4","url":null,"abstract":"The Events of May 1968 influenced the stage of the British playwright Howard Brenton substantially. He paid much attention to the aftermaths of May 1968 in his plays to revision the strengths and pitfalls of the Events. In his play Magnificence (1973), he stages contemporary British social history under the influence of May 1968 along with the terrorist attack against then British Minister of Employment, Robert Carr, by representing a group of young socialists squatting empty houses and exchanging their socialist and idealistic ideas with one another. This study, therefore, aims to explore the way in which Brenton’s drama revisions the defeat of the socialist ideals of May 1968 Events by dramatizing lack of harmony and conflicting opinions regarding the modes of public resistance among the dissenters. The study also articulates that Brenton’s historical drama grants him a license to make use of the recent past, May 1968 and also embodied as Lenin appeared in the middle of the play, to evaluate the present and express strong disapproval of the British conservatism which has completely silenced any dissident voice in the British society. The study applies Foucauldian notions of power and discourse, as well as close reading of the play to fulfill the research objectives.","PeriodicalId":199513,"journal":{"name":"ATHENS JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131413446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"On Rimbaud’s \"Vowels,\" Again: Vowels or Colors?","authors":"V. Ginsburgh, S. Metzidakis","doi":"10.30958/ajp.6-4-1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30958/ajp.6-4-1","url":null,"abstract":"Arthur Rimbaud’s sonnet Vowels presents a poetic vision based ostensibly on a quasi-psychedelic or synesthetic experience. It has inspired writers, critics, painters, and singers for over a century mainly because of its often obscure form and content. From the first verse of the text, for instance, the author juxtaposes each of the normal five French vowels printed in capital letters with what appears to be a random choice of an \"appropriate\" color. As a result, the majority of readers assume that these colors somehow correspond, semantically speaking, to the selected vowels. In making such connections, however, our poet suggests that his specific fusion of basic colors and sounds is capable of generating not just one but multiple significations, be they religious, erotic, aesthetic, even anthropological. Yet the poem itself - an irregular French sonnet - already derives much of its obscurity from another odd feature: the faulty order of French vowels used by Rimbaud: A to O instead of A to U or Y. Formal explanations are often cited to justify this so-called \"mistake.\" This paper demonstrates that his poem hides a different interpretation of the words used to expand upon these sound/color combinations. After all, vowels are metonymically linked to sounds, since they constitute the minimal elements of the latter. Contemporary linguists have discovered, however, that in almost all languages, colors come in the same fixed order of words - Black, White, Red, Green and Blue - that Rimbaud proposes. Indeed, in countless documents created over millennia, people in dissimilar societies have tended to identify the same basic colors in the same sequence, for reasons we can only begin to explore here. This previously unnoticed coincidence thus provides further proof that Rimbaud’s sonnet thematically conflates ideas about the historical Beginnings and Endings of various civilizations. Thanks to this chronological conflation, the poem also develops more effectively than previously thought three major themes: the Apocalypse, the Final Judgment, and the future of poetic language. Through its form and content, it thus specifically illustrates the future of French poetry, which Rimbaud compares elsewhere, paradoxically, to Ancient Greek poetry.","PeriodicalId":199513,"journal":{"name":"ATHENS JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY","volume":"364 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134603724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the mechanism of explication at the level of the sentence of the values of perfectivity and imperfectivity, otherwise found in verbs as lexical entries in Slavic and some similar languages. Its discovery ultimately made a huge breakthrough in linguistics, but the recognition of its significance came after years and decades of misunderstanding and twists and turns in conceptualization. Even today, nearly half a century after the discovery of CA, the theory behind it remains rather misconceived, despite the sea of publications dealing with it. This paper offers an overview – through the eyes of the author, hence inevitably polemical – of some of the history of CA, with its vicissitudes, issues and, most significantly, prospects.","PeriodicalId":199513,"journal":{"name":"ATHENS JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125152856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Continuing previous explorations of this large topic, this paper focuses, once again, on the questions what history really means for us today, how literary narratives allow us to ruminate on the human condition, both materially and spiritually, and how we can profit from the philosophical insights developed by Karl Jaspers in his reflections on Vom Ursprung und Ziel der Geschichte (1949). Despite, or just because of the rapidly expanding digitization of nearly every aspect of human existence, the Humanities continue to be of essential relevance in everything we do, study, embrace, or pursue in our lives.","PeriodicalId":199513,"journal":{"name":"ATHENS JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124886803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
