Language play and norm deviation in art and advertising in Old Tiflis
The present article employs a diachronic linguistic landscape (LL) perspective to examine Russian-language advertising in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Tbilisi (Old Tiflis) as evidence of lived multilingualism and historically situated language competence. The analysis encompasses historically documented verbal and visual “texts in space”, primarily preserved in Armenian literary discourse, complemented by paintings depicting urban…
From Lusavan to Charentsavan
In this study, Charentsavan (Kotayk province, Armenia) is considered a bottom-up Soviet industrial city, whose material infrastructure and symbolic identity were created simultaneously through industrialization, mass housing construction, and cultural myth-making. The study explores how the “new city” arose and what makes Charentsavan noteworthy not only in the Armenian context. The research adopts a micro-historical and semiotic approach. The ci…
On One Alcoholic “Place of Memory” in Yerevan
The article is devoted to the analysis of one urban syntagma of Yerevan: from the Yerevan brandy factory “ARARAT” to the Yerevan brandy, wine, and vodka combine “Ararat” (factory “Noy”). The empirical material is described in the context of historical memory and symbolic capital. The choice of a fragment of urban space, a “speech act,” is due to its rich cultural, political, and historical connotations. The study continues the semiotic research s…
Artavazd Pelechian’s “Montage-at-a-Distance” in Semiotic Perspective (By the Example Director’s Theoretical Essays)
The article explores the renowned Armenian documentary filmmaker Artavazd Pelechian (born 1938), whose acclaim surged in 1988, marking the end of the Soviet era, when many figures of Armenian culture became peripatetic. Through a semiotic lens and metalanguage, the article delves into the core elements of “Montage-at-aDistance,” examining the interplay between image and sound/music, and the generative potential inherent in the director’s cinemati…

Creative use of objects as signs in cinema
The paper presents an analysis of Sergei Parajanov’s short film, Hakob Hovnatanyan (1967), and its significance as an example of poetic cinema within Soviet cinematography. Not only feature-length films of Parajanov, but also his short films hold an important place among his œuvre, as a multi-modal and multi-channel visualization of the past. Hakob Hovnatanyan is a prime example of poetic cinema in Soviet cinematography. A pioneer in this discour…
Sergei Parajanov in Search of Identity
This article continues the discourse on humanitarian thanatology and the question of mortality in art. The author describes the initial impulses of the manifestation of the motifs of self-mourning and self-burial with reference to the habitus of Parajanov and his work and other intertextual connections. As the empirical material shows, the motifs in question manifested themselves in different years through different channels of communication (mem…
The Problem of Semiotic Translation
Sergey Parajanov and Tiflis
This paper considers the great director Sergei Parajanov (1924–1990) as a “guide” and a connoisseur of his hometown of Tiflis, and an interpreter of urban space. Specifically, it focuses on the analysis of the screenplay “Confession” that describes the transformation of the urban landscape. The cemeteries of the Old Tiflis era (the Old-Veria and Khojivan cemeteries) were being destroyed and turned into cultural parks. Such transformations became …
“Guilty of Being Free”
Sergei Parajanov was one of the most innovative directors of postwar Soviet cinema, which made him suspect to the Soviet authorities and eventually led Parajanov to serving a prison sentence. This article discusses how the trauma of Parajanov’s prison experience was reflected in the textual and visual output (letters, drawings and collages) that he created during his imprisonment out of the materials at hand. The study relies on comparative-histo…
“Russian” and “Soviet” Plot in the Literary Works of Yoko Tavada
In the article the concepts-signified as “Russian” and “Soviet” expressed in the works of the German-Japanese writer Yoko Tavada (born 1960) are touched upon. The concepts signified as “Soviet” and “Russian” do encompass everything that is connected with Russian culture, literature and the Soviet Union. The empirical material for the given depiction were the essay and novel by Tavada “Suspicious passengers of your night trains” (2002, 2009). Base…
Creolized Texts of Old Tiflis (On the Example of Pirosmani, Elibekyan, Ayvazyan)
The article is devoted to the visual and speech genres of Old Tiflis, which are revealed in the visual and verbal texts of famous artists N. Pirosmani, V. Elibekyan and Armenian writer A. Ayvazyan. The carnival spirit of Old Tiflis influenced the visual and verbal signs of the gastronomic infrastructure. The article is written by a semiotic, typological method, as well as an interdiscursive approach (painting, fiction). In addition, Bakhtin’s the…
University “Mythology” and the Microtoponymy of the Interior Space (On the Example of the Philological Faculty of St. Petersburg State University)
The article analyzes the local mythologized microtoponyms of the interior of the philological faculty of St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU), as well as university interior mythology at the level of microtoponyms representing the cultural and historical layer. The main thesis of the article - the analysis of microtoponyms of the philological faculty in diachronic point of view becomes a mirror of the display of historical and connotative tran…
