    1111 2 3 4 51 THE PATH OF THE ACTOR 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 13111 Michael Chekhov, nephew of Anton Chekhov, was arguably one of the greatest 4 actors of the twentieth century. From his time as Stanislavsky’s pupil, followed 5 by his artistic leadership in the Second Moscow Art Academic Theatre, his 6 enforced emigration from the Soviet Union and long pilgrimage around 7 Europe, to his work in Hollywood, his life has made a huge impact on the 8 acting profession. Chekhov’s remarkable actor-training techniques inspired many Hollywood 9 legends – including Anthony Hopkins and Jack Nicholson – and his tech- 20111 niques remain one of the theatre’s best kept secrets. 1 This first English translation of Chekhov’s autobiographies combines The 2 Path of the Actor, from 1928, and extensive extracts from his later Life and 3 Encounters. Full of humorous and insightful observations involving promi- 4 nent characters from Moscow and the European theatre of the early twentieth 5111 century, Chekhov takes us through events in his acting career and personal 6 life, from his childhood in St Petersburg until his emigration from Latvia and 7 Lithuania in the early 1930s. 8 Chekhov’s witty, penetrating (and at times immensely touching) accounts 9 have been edited by Andrei Kirillov, whose extensive and authoritative notes 30111 accompany the autobiographies. Co-editor, Anglo-Russian trained actor, Bella 1 Merlin, also provides a useful hands-on overview of how the contemporary practitioner might use and develop Chekhov’s ideas. 2 The Path of the Actor is an extraordinary document that allows us unprece- 3 dented access into the life, times, mind and soul of a remarkable man and a 4 brilliant artist.

  • AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES
    AMERICAN LITERARY MINIMALISM by ROBERT CHARLES CLARK (Under the Direction of James Nagel) ABSTRACT American Literary Minimalism stands as an important yet misunderstood stylistic movement. It is an extension of aesthetics established by a diverse group of authors active in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that includes Amy Lowell, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound. Works within the tradition reflect several qualities: the prose is “spare” and “clean”; important plot details are often omitted or left out; practitioners tend to excise material during the editing process; and stories tend to be about “common people” as opposed to the powerful and aristocratic. While these descriptors and the many others that have been posited over the years are in some ways helpful, the mode remains poorly defined. The core idea that differentiates American Minimalism from other movements is that prose and poetry should be extremely efficient, allusive, and implicative. The language in this type of fiction tends to be simple and direct. Narrators do not often use ornate adjectives and rarely offer effusive descriptions of scenery or extensive detail about characters’ backgrounds. Because authors tend to use few words, each is invested with a heightened sense of interpretive significance. Allusion and implication by omission are often employed as a means to compensate for limited exposition, to add depth to stories that on the surface may seem superficial or incomplete. Despite being scattered among eleven decades, American Minimalists share a common aesthetic. They were not so much enamored with the idea that “less is more” but that it is possible to write compact prose that still achieves depth of setting, characterization, and plot without including long passages of exposition.

It argues that the experience of riding the subway and elevated train shapes the forms and themes of modernist writing, while textual representations of these spaces of transit in turn shape the modern understanding of urban subjectivity. Exploring the tension between the embodied, habitual ride and the abstract transportation system, New York modernist writers represent the sense of being in thrall to forces of modernity, interrogate the connection between space and psychology, and envision new pathways between the past and the present. I begin with an analysis of the intertwined discourses necessary to a consideration of modernism and public transportation, including visuality and spatial theory, the history of technology, and urban studies. Through readings of American Expressionist plays by Elmer Rice and Osip Dymov, I locate a modernist theatricality in the subway car, one centered on ideas of claustrophobia and fantasy. I then turn to Harlem Renaissance ii writers Rudolph Fisher and Walter White, whose migration narratives embrace the transitional potential of the mechanized journey North even as they warn against the illusory vision of Harlem seen from the subway steps.

  • The Artist As Literary Character in the Works of Anton Chekhov
    THE ARTIST AS LITERARY CHARACTER IN THE WORKS OF ANTON CHEKHOV by Amber Jo Aulen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto Copyright by Amber J. Aulen 2018 ABSTRACT The Artist as Literary Character in the Work of Anton Chekhov Doctor of Philosophy 2017 Amber Jo Aulen Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto The present dissertation considers the methodology of Anton Chekhov’s literary ethics by focusing on the figure of the artist in his work. There are two general strategies he employs in depicting this figure. The first regards his engagement with typicality in characterizing the artist, and the second regards the reflexivity of the artist, which is to say the artist’s actions on the fictional plane draw attention to the author’s actions on the meta-fictional plane. The concern with typicality vis-à-vis the artist is more prominent in his earlier stories and is the focus of the first part of the dissertation. Chapter One addresses typicality in the genre of the physiologie in France and its Russian counterpart, the fiziologicheskii ocherk. This discussion lays the groundwork for Chapter Two, which addresses Chekhov’s move towards the complicated type in a trio of stories showcasing artists published in short succession in February 1886 – “An Actor’s Death” (“Akterskaia gibel’”), “Requiem” (“Panikhida”), and “Anyuta” (“Aniuta”). The reflexive quality of the figure of the artist, which we also find in the three aforementioned stories, is more prominent in Chekhov’s later stories and is the focus of the second part of the dissertation.

Chekhov) Jumaeva Feruza Ruzievna Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor. Lecturer at the Department of Russian Language and Literature. Navoi State Pedagogical Institute. Uzbekistan Namazov Rustam Anvarovich 1st year undergraduate student 5A111301- Russian language and literature, Russian language. Navoi State Pedagogical Institute. Uzbekistan Abstract: The article describes the structural and semantic features of impersonal sentences on the example of the works of A.P. Chekhov. The reasons that determine the ability of the connective verb to impersonal use are investigated, a historical excursion on the impersonal use of various connective verbs is given. Key words: impersonal offer; connective verb; semantics; compatibility. Introduction. Impersonal sentences are one of the most common and most diverse in terms of structure and semantics, a variety of Russian sentences. The linguistic literature constantly emphasizes the tendency of growth and ever wider dissemination of impersonal constructions in the modern Russian language. There is no consensus about the name and composition of this type of sentences, however, most researchers agree that their number and frequency of use is steadily increasing. And yet, the role of impersonal constructions in the formation of the Russian linguistic picture of the world is very significant. The lexical content of the peculiar grammatical patterns that form impersonal constructions should be recognized as literally inexhaustible. Such templates are both specialized forms of impersonality and specialized impersonal constructions expressing the specific semantics of impersonality - a spontaneous action independent of the agent or a spontaneous state independent of the patient.

  • Death of Ivan Ilyich and Chekhov's the Grasshopper
    Athens Journal of Philology - Volume 5, Issue 3 – Pages 163-178 A Comparative Study of the Elements of Narrative Technique in the English Translation of Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Chekhov’s The Grasshopper By Jacqueline Carr-Phillips The aim of the paper is to examine the elements of narrative technique in Tolstoy’s long story The Death of Ivan Ilyich, in the context of a comparative study of Anton Chekhov’s short story The Grasshopper. I will be discussing the underlying narrative strategies that highlight the distinctive features of laconicism and restraint that Chekhov employs in his writing to allow for deeper configurations of meaning through the implicit dimension of language. In parallel to this I will explore the effectiveness of Tolstoy’s use of the explicit dimension of language to convey meaning, purpose and emotional impact as told directly with substantial descriptive passages. I will also attempt to identify implicit aspects of Tolstoy’s narrative that are embedded in the explicit text, to uncover a deeper meaning to the direct "telling" of the surface story. The paper is not attempting to favour one style over the other in order to demonstrate the authors’ effectiveness in conveying meaning and purpose through explicitness or implicitness. Rather, it is a study of the contrasting individuality of the two literary writing styles as seemingly opposite to each other in relation to the elements of narrative technique that are being used to shape the story. The intention is to demonstrate a parallel effectiveness in the two contrasting forms to convey the vision of the story through the shaping of the narrative.
