  • Sogdian Merchant Scripts

    Sogdian Merchant Scripts

    Postcolonial Text, Vol 8, No 2 (2013) Rebecca Gould Sogdian Merchant Scripts Teresa didn’t want to go. She had too much to worry about, too many distractions. She preferred to let her pain incubate, to let it fester. So when her elderly neighbor Beatrice woke her up, shortly past midnight, to celebrate Easter and share a boiled egg, as red as blood, she was both irritated and bemused. What kind of person bangs on their neighbor’s door in the middle of the night to share an egg? she wondered to herself. When Beatrice informed her that her son wanted to show her Old Tbilisi, and to introduce her to the history and culture of the city where he had been born and raised, Teresa agreed. But she was less than pleased. “I’m leaving for America the next day,” she warned her neighbor, “So I’ll have to finish early.” Beatrice shook Teresa’s hand before she parted that night, winked slyly, and insisted she take another egg. “I’ll be gone that day,” Beatrice added before she parted, “But you and Irakli will have fun.” All that month, Teresa had been cooped up in her apartment. Meditating. Mostly about a man she had never met, but whom she knew better than her own soul. They shared in common a passion for certain obscure subjects, like Arabic epigraphy and Persian paleography. More than that, they shared expertise in the peculiar annotations that itinerate Sogdian merchants of early modern Central Asia made on Arabic manuscripts, in a handwriting all their own.

GEORGIA’S PHILOSOPHICAL LANDSCAPE – SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES ANASTASIA ZAKARIADZE 1, IRAKLI BRACHULI 2 Abstract This article discusses the main trends of Georgian philosophy: its basic principles and perspectives, the importance of the Western, especially the European cultural heritage, and the Georgian contribution to the history of ideas in a global perspective. Metaphysical questions of cognition, truth, identity, virtue and value, wisdom and power, as well as issues of ethical, social, political and aesthetic values, phenomenological, philosophical-theological and linguistic research are central to Georgian philosophy and exemplify its continuing relevance vis-à-vis the Western tradition in its broadest sense. Although philosophical ideas in Georgia rarely matured into a well-balanced, self- sufficient system, one may distinguish as original conceptions some ideas of Christian Neo-Platonism and Aletheological Realism .

    Phasis 10 (II), 2007 Ketevan Gardapkhadze (Tbilisi) THE ARGONAUTICA IN THE WORKS OF GEORGIAN SYMBOLISTS Symbolism as a literary trend entered Georgia at the outset of the 20th century. In 1915 it was established in institutional terms, when a group of young poets formed a new literary order called ‘Blue Horns’. It was the period when Georgian artistic consciousness became extremely feeble. Shabby imitations of the 19th century great authors brought almost to nonsense the literary life of the country. The new generation found it impossible to follow the path. The only way for them to fulfill their inherent vocation and calling was Symbolism.1 The members of the Blue Horn shared completely the aesthetic principles of Symbolism, provided arguments for the necessity of establishing this trend in Georgia, looked for national foundation to build Symbolism on, tried to combine western European, Russian and Georgian outlooks, and give an original, peculiar character to Georgian Symbolism. ‘We must shape our Georgian profile’, Titsian Tabidze wrote, ‘the basic experience of being a Georgian is our primary requirement. It should imply our temperament, our sensibility, our image. We will unite the sharpness of the West and the sunny relaxation of the East.’2 This very original property of Georgian Symbolism underlay the reception of ancient culture by Georgian Symbolists. I will dwell only on one point of the comprehensive topic called the reception of ancient culture in the works of Georgian Symbolists. This point is the cycle of Argonautic myths. For French and Russian Symbolists, the Argonautica was the source of symbolic figures with strong passions and unforgettable events.

  • The Figurative Language of Soviet Power and Georgian Literature

    The Figurative Language of Soviet Power and Georgian Literature

    Bela Tsipuria The Figurative Language of Soviet Power and Georgian Literature Abstract: The Soviet language of power can be seen as a set of basic, universal codes with the special connotation of referring to major principles of Soviet ide- ology or social/political goals prioritized by the Communist Party. This language was developed in political discourse by the Party’s leading ideologists, and imple- mented within cultural/literary discourse. Ideological principles were often met- aphorized and implemented in canonical texts: speeches by Party leaders, cen- trally developed poems and songs, epic novels. After this, the codes were used in all the national cultures/languages of the USSR. Through the bearers of the ideol- ogy – bigger and smaller Party leaders, poets, prose writers, and songwriters – the messages of power were communicated to the Soviet people. Based on Georgian material, this article discusses the spread of one of the main metaphors related to the multinational composition of the USSR – the metaphor of the “united broth- erly family of the nations.” The metaphor carried not only a political meaning but also a hidden agenda of suggesting to Sovietized nations both views and verbal formulations, and how to deal with the existing political reality and the domi- nance of the Russian centre. In this sense, it was an imperial metaphor, related to the national question and the centre–periphery model of the USSR. Keywords: Georgian literature, metaphors/language of power, national question, Soviet ideology The Soviet totalitarian

    Mutsali by Givi Margvelashvili: the Aesthetics of Post-Modernism and the Problem of Deconstruction of the Classical Texts

    Nana Gaprindashvili, Nino Aptsiauri, Mari Simonishvili Nana Gaprindashvili Nana Gaprindashvili was born in 1958. She studied at Belarus State and Tbilisi State Universities. In 1980 she graduated from Tbilisi State University, majoring in Philology. In 1985 she defended her candidate dissertation and obtained a scientific degree of Candidate of Philology; in 1993 she defended her doctoral dissertation and became Doctor of Philology. In 2000 Nana Gaprindashvili became a Professor. She is the author of five monographs, five course books and up to 85 scientific articles; Nana Gaprindashvili is a Professor at the Faculty of Humanities at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. The spheres of her interest are: Translation Studies, Comparative Literature, Rhetoric, Literary Theory, and Issues of Georgian spelling. Mutsali by Givi Margvelashvili: The Aesthetics of Post-modernism and the Problem of Deconstruction of the Classical Texts Abstract: Mutsali by Givi Margvelashvili one of the most interesting works in European post- modernism is a great example of how Georgian sources (Aluda Ketelauri by Vazha-Pshavela and Merani by Nikoloz Baratashvili) become interwoven in the western discourse. Hence, the deconstruction of the classical literary text, one of the most important characteristics of post- modern aesthetics, becomes apparent in Mutsali. Keywords: Mutsali by Givi Margvelashvili, Aluda Ketelauri by Vazha-Pshavela, Merani by Nikoloz Baratashvili, Deconstruction of Texts, Postmodernism Post-modernism, which has become a natural phenomenon for the developed society, enables the modern society to be seen or understood within the framework of post-modern philosophy. Thus, post-modernism has become a universal category of the XX century, expressing the “spirit of the era”.

    Phasis 13-14, 2010-2011 Manana Garibashvili (Tbilisi) ANCIENT MOTIFS IN THE WORKS OF GEORGIAN SYMBOLISTS When I decided to work on this topic, I knew in advance that the sources would not be numerous. However, I believe that the period nevertheless deserves special attention as it is here that Georgian poetry becomes familiarized with ancient names and motifs. The traces of close cultural relations of the Georgian tribes with the ancient world are lost in the depths of centuries. However, they are not easy to discern in the classical Georgian poetry, which belongs to a much later period. If The Knight in the Tiger Skin may offer some parallels with the ancient world – through vigorous efforts at that – the later Georgian poetry cannot be „blamed‟ of the same: both the poets and the audience are absolutely detached from the ancient world and know almost nothing about it. The poetry of the Revival makes no mention of even a single name either from mythology or from history, which has always been quite the opposite in the European poetry. The only exclusion is Davit Guramishvili‟s Merry Summer, which opens with the struggle of winter and spring, which proceeds against the following names: “[He] had assigned Evros as the commander against Cecia; the latter was followed by Lipsi Zepiros Phoinix, Borias, Notos. Summer had Cecia as the commander, where Evros stood idle. He was followed by Argestes, Apil, ergast, Thrascias Livontos.”).1 Guramishvili may seem to be using some Russian source; however, this is not so as all the names are borrowed from Sulkhan Saba Orbeliani‟s Lexicon, specifically, the entry for “wind”, while Sulkhan Saba Orbeliani must have been the only person in Georgia having an access to ancient sources.
