Days in Prague
After discovering that her grandmother had pro-German sympathies, Ann Shukman resolved to investigate her grandfather Walter Runciman’s 1938 Mission to Prague. This government-sponsored British delegation sought to broker peace between the Czechoslovak republic and its Sudeten German minority—a dispute that Hitler was aggravating with virulent anti-Czech propaganda and threats of invasion. Drawing fresh evidence from personal diaries, private pap…

The Ode as an Oratorical Genre
A seminal text in Russian formalist genre theory, Tynianov's previously untranslated essay on the ode is both an historical case study of a single genre and a investigation of broader principles of poetic structure and generic evolution. Applying his "systemo-functional" model of genre, Tynianov first analyses the structure of the Russian ode as exemplified by the eighteenth-century poet-critic Lomonosov, then traces a complex series of transform…

The Text and the Structure of Its Audience
T HE idea that every message is oriented toward a definite audience and is fully realized only in the consciousness of that audience is not a new one. There is a story about an episode in the life of the famous mathematician P. L. Chebyshev. At one of his lectures on the subject of the mathematical aspects of cutting clothes, there appeared an unexpected audience consisting of tailors, fashionable ladies, and so on. However, the first sentence sp…
Linguistics/Language/Literature
OT so long ago the title Linguistics/Language/Literature would have evoked expectations of studies of the text, a balanced and coherent entity, composed of harmoniously correlated and hierarchically ordered levels of language. In this view, the literary text, though deviant in having its set to expression, was nonetheless like all others firmly situated in an untrammeled communicatory channel. The language of structural linguistics, lucid and sci…
Soviet Semiotics and Literary Criticism
VOLUTION, wrote Tynyanov, does not go by plan but by leaps and bounds; it is not a development, but a dislocation. For nearly a generation from the end of the 1920s there was no speculative or theoretical thinking about literature in the Soviet Union. The great debates of the twenties were stilled. The formalist theoreticians turned to textual scholarship (Eikhenbaum, Tomashevsky, Vinogradov), to the cinema and journalism (Shklovsky, Osip Brik), …
Text and Function
HE AIM of this article is to examine two concepts fundamental for the study of culture, and function, in their mutual relationship. The concept of text is defined in accordance with an article by A. M. Piatigorsky.1 Particular attention is given to such features of a text its expression [vyrazhennost'] in a given system of signs-its fixation-and its capacity to perform in a certain relationship (in the system of signals functioning in a community…
