William Blake: the poetry of madness and the philosophy of evil
// Litera.
2012. № 1.
P. 1-24.
DOI: 10.7256/2306-1596.2012.1.34 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=34
Abstract:
This article examines the legacy of the poet-philosopher William Blake, interest in whom has re-emerged nearly two centuries since his death. Blake and his poetry are still the subject of analysis and research. Nowadays he is considered to be an author and thinker who discovered a new approach to poetry -- poetry of thought and poetry of philosophy -- that was an absolute innovation for the era in which he lived. Blake's legacy is bottomless; it has inspired artistic, philosophical, and poetic thought and we have yet to grasp his extraordinary philosophical depth.

Lingvopolitical Studies VS Political Linguistics: Is There a Dialogue?
// Litera.
2012. № 1.
P. 25-81.
DOI: 10.7256/2306-1596.2012.1.150 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=150
Abstract:
The article tells about the differences that exist between lingvopolitical and political-linguistic approaches to political communication and political dialogue. Political linguistics view political communication as a struggle for power, influence and mind control and actually exclude interaction between the government and society. This approach is opposed to the lingvopolitical point of view according to which modern political communication is based not on the subject-object relation but on the subject - subject interaction, i.e. the dialogue between the goverment and civil society.

V.Nabokov. Lectures on Don Quixote (translated)
// Litera.
2012. № 1.
P. 82-127.
DOI: 10.7256/2306-1596.2012.1.131 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=131
Abstract:
In his lectures before the Harvard audience in 1951-1952, Vladimir Nabokov attempts to unveil the true work of Servantes, stripping it of sanctimonious nonsense that turned a harsh narrative into an easygoing tale about appearance versus reality, which layered on the novel due to centuries of misinterpretation. In truth, Don Quixote remains a traditional piece of old Spanish literature, depicting cruelty towards an old man that acts like a child in his senile dementia. This book was written in an age when the sick and the crippled were laughed at, when heretics were burned alive in public, when mercy and kindness were seemingly extinguished forever. In time, however, the world saw the novel in another light. The character that started off as a target for ridicule, became a saint over the centuries.

Scientific language: reality of corporate desire? (Addressing the issue of lexical and stylistic aspect of modern humanitarian research works)
// Litera.
2012. № 1.
P. 228-276.
DOI: 10.7256/2306-1596.2012.1.184 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=184
Abstract:
The author of this article, being a philologist, literator and sociologist in his scientific work, analyzes the lexical and stylistic aspects of scientific works in humanitarian sciences in context of norms and traditions of the national Russian language. In his opinion, binary preposition of linguistic debate - encratic and acratic languages, Russian tradition for written fixation of scientific work, is, in fact, a quasi-language itself and is defined not as an independent communication phenomenon, but as a system of anomalies in regular language. The article provides a historical outlook on the interaction of scientific and literary methods of fixation and reflection of social realities - interaction that represents a pendulum of divergence and convergence processes.
