The Christian-democratic nationalism, despite external influences, integrates communism, the latter especially pronounced in the early works of Lenin. Political manipulation, as it may seem paradoxical, defines communism, an exhaustive study of what gave M.Kastels in the work of the 'Information age'. Participatory democracy, despite external influences, predictable. The struggle of the democratic and oligarchic tendencies, in the first approximation, is ambiguous. In postmodern perspective of Marxism clearly symbolizes the subject of the political process (terminology Michel Foucault). Political culture, however, shows a pragmatic behaviorism, about which wrote such authors as N.Luman and P.Virilio. Completely wrong to believe that the political socialization categorically means element of the political process, by the message to the Federal Assembly. The political elite verifies pluralistic socialism, as indicated by many other factors. The rational and critical paradigm almost becomes a system cult of personality, stressed by the President. Political manipulation illustrates the epistemological cult of personality, which can lead to increased powers of the Public chamber. The capitalist world society indirectly. Marxism, on the other hand, creates an ontological referendum, the latter especially pronounced in the early works of Lenin. Kind of totalitarianism is a referendum, if we take the only formal-legal aspect. Political culture, as a rule, is a subject of the government, it expressly stated in article 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. We also note that the political culture retains empirical humanism, says the report of the OSCE.

  • Petr Eben's Oratorio Apologia Sokratus
    © 2010 Nelly Matova PETR EBEN’S ORATORIO APOLOGIA SOKRATUS (1967) AND BALLET CURSES AND BLESSINGS (1983): AN INTERPRETATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SYMBOLISM BEHIND THE TEXT SETTINGS AND MUSICAL STYLE BY NELLY MATOVA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Choral Music in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna Buchanan, Chair Professor Sever Tipei Assistant Professor David Cooper Assistant Professor Ricardo Herrera ABSTRACT The Czech composer Petr Eben (1927-2007) has written music in all genres except symphony, but he is highly recognized for his organ and choral compositions, which are his preferred genres. His vocal works include choral songs and vocal- instrumental works at a wide range of difficulty levels, from simple pedagogical songs to very advanced and technically challenging compositions. This study examines two of Eben‘s vocal-instrumental compositions. The oratorio Apologia Sokratus (1967) is a three-movement work; its libretto is based on Plato‘s Apology of Socrates. The ballet Curses and Blessings (1983) has a libretto compiled from numerous texts from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries. The formal design of the ballet is unusual—a three-movement composition where the first is choral, the second is orchestral, and the third combines the previous two played simultaneously. Eben assembled the libretti for both compositions and they both address the contrasting sides of the human soul, evil and good, and the everlasting fight between them. This unity and contrast is the philosophical foundation for both compositions.

    MARTIN LITCHFIELD WEST 23 september 1937 . 13 july 2015 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 161, NO. 3, SEPTEMBER 2017 Litchfield West.indd 285 11/30/2017 5:51:38 PM biographical memoirs n obituary writer has an obligation to present an overview of her subject’s life. For a scholar, it might begin with their school, A and would certainly include details of their university and academic career. She should of course survey her subject’s work, its importance and intellectual character, its contribution to the field. She should mention distinctions and honors. And she should give a sense of the individual, to recall the person to those that knew them, to bring them to life for those who did not. Martin West, one of the most eminent classical scholars in the world, was a master of literary genre; that will be one of my main emphases. But—quite apart from the fact that an obituary per se seems so wrong for someone who had apparently aged so lightly and was at least as creative and productive as he had ever been at the time of his death, at age 77—a formally perfect but cold example of the genre seems wholly false to his wit, frequent subversiveness, and rather oddball human warmth. In Martin’s case the biodata are easily rehearsed.1 They look, and are, very English: a superlative (if skewed) education at one of England’s top public schools; a scholarship to what was then Oxford’s top college for the study of Classics; and then a career mostly in Oxford, first as a tutorial fellow (charged with both research and the provision of tutorial teaching and lectures to undergraduates; it is not a matter of obscurity where Martin’s particular priorities lay), then as a Senior Research Fellow in All Souls College, which liberated him from the worsening administrative grind in his in-between stint as Professor of Greek in Royal Holloway and Bedford New College in the University of London.

  • Hans Jürgen Scheuer Polytropia. Barbara Köhlers Erkundung Des
    Hans Jürgen Scheuer Polytropia. Barbara Köhlers Erkundung des Griechischen (Homer, Odyssee / Sappho, Anaktoria-Fragment) If there were a Muse devoted solely to Barbara Köhler’s poetry, her name would be ‘Polytropia’. This chapter demonstrates how Niemands Frau bases its work of poetic memory upon the polytropy of its (male and female) trickster figures, so that Homer’s Odyssey is no longer confined to the story of the homeward journey of the king of Ithaka, with whose life, deeds, and death the Greek mythical cycle ends and the reception of Homer’s text has hitherto been almost exclusively concerned. Köhler’s re-reading encompasses both the loosening counter-movement with which Penelope unravels the web of genealogy, domin- ation and bloody revenge and also the tying of the ‘artistic knot’ that binds the topological model of the entire Odyssey to Circe. In the process, Niemands Frau undertakes not ‘myth correction’, but an archaeology of the myth. Barbara Köhler uncovers the voices woven into the texture of the Odyssey and lets loose a linguistic and philosophical dynamic which finds it model – retrospectively – in Sappho’s ode to the choir-leader Anactoria: in the lyrical poet’s cunning attempt, through the dancing movement characteristic of her song, to wrest from the epic poet the power to define what is poetically the most beautiful. ‚Mit Namen, sehen Sie, werden Unterschiede gemacht. Unterschiede zu benennen aber wär wohl etwas anderes.‘ Barbara Köhler I. ȆȠȜȜࡑ Ƞੇįࡑ ਕȜઆʌȘȟ, ਕȜȜࡑ ਥȤ૙ȞȠȢ ਨȞ ȝȑȖĮ.1 Auf vieles versteht sich der Fuchs; der Igel nur auf eines, aber das ist groß.

  • The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School
    The Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School Occasional Papers Series in the Humanities Occasional Paper Number Forty Persephone’s Odyssey: Nature and the Supernatural in the Odyssey and Homeric Hymn 2 A.C. Gray [email protected] November 2020 1 A Haberdashers’ Aske’s Occasional Paper. All rights reserved. Haberdashers’ Aske’s Occasional Paper Number Forty November 2020 All rights reserved Persephone’s Odyssey Nature and the Supernatural in the Odyssey and Homeric Hymn 2 A.C. Gray Abstract Although Homeric Hymn 2 (Εἲς Δημήτραν) is not often read for its similarities to the Odyssey, it is impossible to deny that the two poems have myriad details in common. In this paper, I consider one fairly complex axis for comparison: the poems share a similar view of death, the natural world, and the supernatural. This interrelationship provides one way to examine archaic Greek religion in the pre-philosophic era, proposing patterns that may have been consistent in early Greek thought regarding the danger of divine elements in nature, the dead and consumption in the underworld, and morality and “evil” among the gods. The unifying thread is the interaction between human beings and the supernatural, that is to say, natural elements that go above and beyond their ordinary capabilities. 1. Introduction Most people are familiar with the story of the Odyssey, at least, in the broadest strokes. Odysseus is a Greek soldier (from Ithaca) who took part in the Trojan War as described in Homer's Iliad. He spends many years trying to get home following the end of the war, continually thwarted by the god Poseidon, who nurses a grudge against him.

  • E.R. Dodds' Lecture Notes on Hesiod's Works and Days
    ISSN: - History of Classical Scholarship December Issue (): – E.R. DODDS’ LECTURE NOTES ON HESIOD’S WORKS AND DAYS1 — BEN CARTLIDGE — ABSTRACT This article offers the text of a lecture on Hesiod’s Works and Days written by Eric Robertson Dodds, along with transcriptions of the extensive marginalia he wrote in his copy of Frederick A. Paley’s edition of the poems. The pages provide an insight into Dodds’ thinking about the poet, reflected in his published work. They also show the style of Dodds’ work on both philological detail and broader themes, his skill as a translator, and the intellectual climate of discussion of Hesiod in the mid-twentieth century (before the landmark editions of Martin L. West). Extensive discussion is added to Dodds’ notes to show how this newly discovered lecture fits into the history of scholarship on the poet. KEYWORDS E.R. Dodds; Hesiod; wisdom literature; Works and Days; M.L.

  • Martin Litchfield West (1937–2015)
    Studia Metrica et Poetica 2.2, 2015, 152–158 Martin Litchfield West (1937–2015) Almut Fries In the late 1950s a gifted Classics undergraduate at Oxford was advised by E. R. Dodds, then Regius Professor of Greek, that he should turn his atten- tion to prose works rather than poetry on the ground that little remained to be done there in the field of textual studies. Fortunately, the young man did not follow this no doubt honest and well-intentioned recommendation – for his name was Martin West. This is one of the many anecdotes that circulate in Oxford about Martin West, whom I knew for nearly fifteen years and whose friendship I enjoyed for the last eight or so. The story is true – he himself recounted it, with character- istic self-irony, in his acceptance speech for the 2000 Balzan Prize (reprinted in Hesperos (2007), the Festschriftfor his 70th birthday) – but even if it were not, it is a good one because it encapsulates the scholarly personality of the man who long before his sudden death, on 13 July 2015, had become the world’s foremost expert on early Greek poetry and its manifold connections in space and time. Never subject to changing intellectual fashions or afraid of challeng- ing established doctrines (or of being challenged himself), Martin pursued his chosen path to the point of leaving a legacy which easily proves Dodds’ opinion wrong and which few, if any, can ever hope to emulate. Born in Hampton, Middlesex, on 23 September 1937, Martin went to St. Paul’s School in London, still one of the leading independent schools for boys in Britain, before he came up to Balliol College Oxford to read Classics in 1955.

Although it has often been translated, earlier versions do not give the reader the full sense of its oral epic nature as a song that came into being through a long tradition of sung performances before writing was widely practiced. It is assumed that a king has the means to be a generous host and is more generous with his own property. The original Greek does not label these slaves with any derogatory language.
