In Rabelais and His Worm (1984) and Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics (1987), Bakhtin has shown how Rabelais' and Dostoevsky's vision of the world is turned to the artistic way of seeing. The author of this paper has studied a novel and its connection to a writer's world view by using the theory of Bakhtin. The purpose of this paper is to show how the author has used Bakhtin's ideas and perspectives in her study. The subject of the author's doctoral dissertation is Finnish author Algot Untola (1868-1918), who published whole his ambiguous production by using pen names. Main research data are Untola's early works which include novels and newspaper articles that are written in the years 1906-1909. The research problem has been whether Untola's first novel Harhama (1909) carnivalized literature or not. The study has revealed that Untola's carnivalesque writings opposed the Finnish nationalist official culture. In previous study it has not been seen, because has not been taken into account his world view and its close relationship with the folk's unofficial laughing culture.展开更多

Chinese ancient culture doesn't mean one-dimensional notion of nature transforming to human like that in western philosophy, but means the hiding and dialogue between the nature and the human body. Specifically, Wen hua just means a dialogue based on the body. Heaven Unitfied With the Human and Complement of Confucianism and Taoism provide this opinion. Sense of Harmony in Chinese traditional culture provides us important ideological resources for building a harmonious culture and promoting the harmonious development of mankind.展开更多

It builds instead a perfect dialogue between these two practices that never encroach each other: There is not any doctrine that prevents cinema's freedom to create images and any philosophy claim that forces cinema to find in images an alternative way of expression. Von Trotta leaves any biopic form and stages a harmonic building where cinema fulfills philosophy and philosophy fulfills cinema. In this way she gets an outright practical exhibition of a theory, the "banality of evil". We want to comprehend the reasons of this perfect building analyzing this film, its characters with their acts, all the images their montage, and editing, everything that supports the Arendt's philosophical notion. We work on the film with the philosophical categories created by Gilles Deleuze to study the history of cinema in two essays, Image-mouvement and Image-time. In this way we can unfold how Margarethe Von Trotta represents a theory through images, without any word as intermediary展开更多
