The goal of the conference was the promotion of the interdisciplinary research in new directions of language and culture, scientific enrichment, sharing experience and holding a creative dialogue between Georgian and international researchers on such significant issues as history, literature, translation, and interdisciplinary research. Translation Studies was one of the special focuses of the conference as it has been part of the cultural and literary studies. After the demise of the Soviet Empire not much has been contributed to the metaphor of postcolonial translation or to the minority languages of the USSR and translation into the dominant language of the Metropolis. Could we hear authentic voices in the translations? Can we now? 7 BATUMI SHOTA RUSTAVELI STATE UNIVERITY East European Multicultural Space© 2018 TABLE OF CONTENTS ……………………………………………………………….……..8 Acknowledgements ,…………………………………………………………………………..11 Editorial Statement …………………………………………………………………………....12 წინასიტყვაობა: საბჭოური ცენტრი და საბჭოთა პერიოდის ქართული ლიტერატურა პოსტკოლონიური პერსპეტივიდან ბელა წიფურია........................................................................................................................26 Foreword: Soviet Center and Georgian Literature of Soviet Times from Postcolonial Perspective BELA TSIPURIA ……………………………………………………………………………27 Translation Studies A Brief Note: How to Wrap Literary Translation in Academic “Clothing” EDITH CLOWES ………………………………………………………………………........29 Translation and Performativity: Vladimir Nabokov’s Paratexts JULIA TRUBIKHINA………………………………………………………………………..30 Vladimir Nabokov: The Intersection of Exile and Translation JULIA TRUBIKHINA………………………………………………………………………37 ინტერვიუ რედაქტორთან: მხატვრული თარგმანის სამეცნიერო მიმართულება ანა ჭაბაშვილი…………………………………………………………………………….....45 Comparative Analysis of Turkish Translation of a Story “Elguja” by Alexandre Kazbegi GÜL MUKERREM OZTURK………………………………………………………………..48 An Interview with a Translator LELA DUMBADZE………………………………………………………………………….54 An exercise for the Beginners in Philology (Analysis of One Monolingual Translation) NANA TRAPAIDZE ……………………………………………………………………….59 Erekle Tatishvili’s “Iron-bound Melancholy Volumes” TAMAR SIRADZE…………………………………………………………………………...66 Teleological-Pragmatic Interpretation of the Text in Context and Problem of Translation KHATUNA DIASAMIDZE…………………..........................................................................70 Black Sea Regional Cultures and Literatures, Postcolonial Approaches to Georgian Studies Black Sea Regional Cultures and Literatures and Postcolonial Approaches to the Post Soviet Georgia’s Cultural, Social and Literature Studies Finding Common Ground in the Black Sea: The Imagined Geography of the Black Sea among Regional Writers EDITH CLOWES ………………………………………………………………………75 პოსტკოლონიური „ციმორი“ და საქართველო ხათუნა ბერიძე………………………………………………………………………………87 The Sorrows of Ovid in the Black Sea: An Exilic Voice Experienced Again in the Poetry of Josephine Balmer PASCHALIS NIKOLAOU…………………………………………………………………..101 The Social and Economic Consequences of Non-Integration of Ethnic Minorities in Georgia SAMANTHA GUTHRIE……………………………………………………………………108 8 BATUMI SHOTA RUSTAVELI STATE UNIVERITY East European Multicultural Space© 2018 The Doctrine of Multiculturalism to a New State of Post-Soviet Countries (on the example of Eastern Europe) ZHAINAGUL KADYRKULOVA…………………………………………………………..124 The Role of the Cultural Tourism in Intercultural Communications ERMILE MESKHIA…………………………………………………………………………128 Expressionistic Trends in Georgian Cinematography in 20s of XX c.

  • Convergence in Language Change: Morpho-Syntactic Patterns in Mingrelian (And Laz)1
    c:/3trps/99-1/hewitt.3d ± 28/3/1 ± 15:24 ± disk/mp Transactions of the Philological Society Volume 99:1 (2001) 99±145 CONVERGENCE IN LANGUAGE CHANGE: MORPHO-SYNTACTIC PATTERNS IN MINGRELIAN (AND LAZ)1 By George Hewitt SOAS, University of London (Received 3April 2000) Abstract The paper examines two features of Mingrelian (a member of the Kartvelian, or South Caucasian, language family): (i) the marking of subordinate clauses by either clause-final suffix -n(i)/-i/@ alone or this suffix + a full subordinating conjunc- tion (or relative pronoun); (ii) the `Conditional' forms in -k'o(n(i)), which are peculiar within Kartvelian to Mingrelian and its close sister Laz. Influence exerted long ago by the North West Caucasian language Abkhaz, whose speakers may be presumed to have been in close contact with the Zan ancestors of Laz-Mingrelians, it is claimed, might feasibly underlie these phenomena. The discussion finally touches upon consideration of the possible role played by parataxis in the development of some hypotactic constructions in the history of at least some languages, especially in light of a recent attempt to refute the notion that hypotaxis can be so derived. 1 Part of the work on which this paper, read at a meeting of the Philological Society in Cambridge on Saturday 11th March 2000, is based was carried out during a sabbatical term I was able to spend in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Ochamchira (Abkhazia) in the final months of 1987 thanks to a British Academy exchange with the Georgian Academy of Sciences. In Tbilisi I had the good fortune to work with the Mingrelians: the late K'orneli Danelia, Rezo Sherozia and Merab Chuxua; my informants over a number of years in Ochamchira were: P'ant'e and Ek'a Basilaia, Manana Gunia and the late Neli T'orchua.

  • Novus Ortus: the Awakening of Laz Language in Turkey”
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-04-16-08 idil, 2015, Cilt 4, Sayı 16, Volume 4, Issue 16 NOVUS ORTUS: THE AWAKENING OF LAZ LANGUAGE IN TURKEY Nurdan KAVAKLI 1 ABSTRACT Laz (South Caucasian) language, which is spoken primarily on the southeastern coast of the Black Sea in Turkey, is being threatened by language endangerment. Having no official status, Laz language is considered to be an ethnic minority language in Turkey. All Laz people residing in Turkey are bilingual with the official language in the country, Turkish, and use Laz most frequently in interfamilial conversations. In this article, Laz language is removed from the dusty pages of Turkish history as a response to the threat of language attrition in the world. Accordingly, language endangerment is viewed in terms of a sociolinguistic phenomenon within the boundaries of both language-internal and -external factors. Laz language revitalization acts have also been scrutinized. Having a dekko at the history of modern Turkey will enlighten whether those revitalization acts and/or movements can offer a novus ortus (new birth) for the current situation of Laz language.

  • 43E Festival International Du Film De La Rochelle Du 26 Juin Au 5 Juillet 2015 Le Puzzle Des Cinémas Du Monde
    43e Festival International du Film de La Rochelle du 26 juin au 5 juillet 2015 LE PUZZLE DES CINÉMAS DU MONDE Une fois de plus nous revient l’impossible tâche de synthétiser une édition multiforme, tant par le nombre de films présentés que par les contextes dans lesquels ils ont été conçus. Nous ne pouvons nous résoudre à en sélectionner beaucoup moins, ce n’est pas faute d’essayer, et de toutes manières, un contexte économique plutôt inquiétant nous y contraint ; mais qu’une ou plusieurs pièces essentielles viennent à manquer au puzzle mental dont nous tentons, à l’année, de joindre les pièces irrégulières, et le Festival nous paraîtrait bancal. Finalement, ce qui rassemble tous ces films, qu’ils soient encore matériels ou virtuels (50/50), c’est nous, sélectionneuses au long cours. Nous souhaitons proposer aux spectateurs un panorama généreux de la chose filmique, cohérent, harmonieux, digne, sincère, quoique, la sincérité… Ambitieux aussi car nous aimons plus que tout les cinéastes qui prennent des risques et notre devise secrète pourrait bien être : mieux vaut un bon film raté qu’un mauvais film réussi. Et enfin, il nous plaît que les films se parlent, se rencontrent, s’éclairent les uns les autres et entrent en résonance dans l’esprit du festivalier. En 2015, nous avons procédé à un rééquilibrage géographique vers l’Asie, absente depuis plusieurs éditions de la programmation. Tout d’abord, avec le grand Hou Hsiao-hsien qui en est un digne représentant puisqu’il a tourné non seulement à Taïwan, son île natale mais aussi au Japon, à Hongkong et en Chine.

Existence of ancient human being on Georgian territory is confirmed from the early stages of anthropogenesis. Nearby Dmanisi valley (80 km south-west of Tbilisi) the remnants of homo erectus are found, age of them is about 1,8 million years old. At present it is the oldest trace in Euro-Asia. Later on the Stone Age a man took the whole territory of Georgia. Former settlements of Ashel period (400–100 thousand years ago) are discovered as on the coast of the Black Sea as in the regions within highland Georgia. Approximately 6–7 thousands years ago people on the territory of Georgia began to use as the instruments not only the stone but the metals as well.

The direct involvement of the public authorities in the landscaped drawing constitutes a well anchored tradition. Sufficient to remind the statues of Lenin, propaganda posters, or the folkorisation of the city through the restoration of "Old Tbilisi" in late Soviet time to understand that issues at stakes in transforming the urban cityscape are not only economic (real estate speculation, etc..) but also highly political: it aims at erasing the traces of the Soviet past and at making visible the governmental program of modernization, including in its rationalist and hygienist dimension, and rapprochement with the West.

Doing so could highlight the salient medicinal plant species and show the variations between communities. This study aimed to determine and discuss the similarities and differences of medicinal ethnobotany among people living in highland pastures on both sides of the Georgia-Turkey border. Methods: During the 2017 and 2018 summer transhumance period, 119 participants (74 in Turkey, 45 in Georgia) were interviewed with semi-structured questions. The data was structured in use-reports (URs) following the ICPC classification. Cultural Importance (CI) Index, informant consensus factor (FIC), shared/separate species-use combinations, as well as literature data were used for comparing medicinal ethnobotany of the communities. Results: One thousand five hundred six UR for 152 native wild plant species were documented. More than half of the species are in common on both sides of the border. Out of 817 species-use combinations, only 9% of the use incidences are shared between communities across the border. Around 66% of these reports had not been previously mentioned specifically in the compared literature.
