In this contribution, Obama’sresetin U.S. – Russian relations is viewed in terms of Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory. To link the macro-level of discourse theory to the micro-level of linguistic analysis, the empirical study implements the analysis of indexicality (Chilton 2004) and assumptions (Fairclough 2003) as applied in critical discourse analysis. Obama’s first term representations of Russia were examined in four contexts: global nuclear nonproliferation; Iran and North Korea; the New START Treaty; European ABM system and NATO – Russian relations. Articulations in the first and second contexts exhibited Obama’s strategies to construct Russia as partner in his hegemonic project of global nuclear nonproliferation. Articulations in the third context demonstrated Obama’s strategies of creating different discursive Russias to achieve the ratification of START, whereas no strategies proved successful in mitigating the issue of missile defense. In all four contexts, Obama’s construction of Russia was, to various degrees, permeated by ambiguity.
В статье изучается эволюция восприятия творчества К.М. Симонова от середины XX до XXI вв. Отмечается неоднозначность оценки творческого наследия К.М. Симонова. Делается вывод о необходимости проведения обобщающего исследования, которое систематизировало бы массив научных работ по произведениям К. Симонова и одновременно освещало бы его творчество в контексте развития советской литературы. The article studies the evolution of the perception of K.M. Simonov work from the thirties of the 20th to the 21st centuries. The ambiguity of the assessment of the creative heritage of K.M. Simonov is noted. It is concluded that it is necessary to conduct a generalizing study that would systematize the array of scientific works on the works of K. Simonov and at the same time highlight his work in the context of the development of Soviet literature.
