“…These findings differ from some experts' findings in various studies that the figure's character corresponds to the name (see, e.g. Gibka & Coates 2018;Hramova 2016). The incompatibility between the name and the character corroborates the allegation that the author only uses the elements of the figure's name in the KPNT to strengthen the symbolisation of Javanese cosmology.…”

In the past, no research has been found on onomastics from a mystical perspective in literature. This study investigated onomastics in the tetralogy of novels by Ki Padmasusastra (after this referred to as TNKP). The main point of view is the meaning of Javanese cosmology. Qualitative methods are used as research guidelines. The primary data are four Javanese novels. Hermeneutic techniques and content analysis are applied to analytical strategies. The results showed that the onomastics in TNKP are symbols of Javanese cosmology. This element of Javanese cosmology has transformed onomastics through three things: the novel title, figure’s name and location name. The symbolisation of the onomastic is implicit because it is wrapped in the aesthetics of the literary language. The name structure of each onomastic subsection has no clear meaning because the name element is intended for the sense of ‘the other’. Names have an explicit function, namely as hypertextual fragments of symbols that transcend the narrative text structure. An important implication of this investigation is that onomastics can promote the transdisciplinary aspects of religion in international theology in the study of narrative texts. The cosmological transformation of Java can be reflected in various parts of culture, including in novels. TNKP is a cross-disciplinary meeting: fiction, linguistics, mystical, social, cultural and philosophical, contributing to further theological studies.Contribution: This article contributes to the purpose of HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies to promote the transdisciplinary aspects of religious studies in the international theological arena of hermeneutic and philosophical studies behind the narrative text.

“…Tais características tornam-na objeto de uma variedade de definições e demarcações teóricas. Ela é definida como um ramo da Onomástica (GIBKA; COATES, 2018;GIBKA, 2019;ALGEO, 1992), que busca explicar nomes próprios presentes não só em obras literárias, mas por extensão também em outras formas de criação artística (COATES, 2018). Por vezes também é vista como uma "crítica literária mais especializada, em que os estudiosos estão preocupados com os níveis de significado dos nomes no teatro, poesia, ficção e folclore" (ALVAREZ- ALTMAN, 1981, p. 221).…”

As ruas que cortam uma cidade guardam diferentes histórias. O topônimo fixado ali torna-se uma pista para que seja(m) desenterrada(s) a(s) memória(s) do lugar. Ao escrever em sua obra memorialística Baú de Ossos sobre a rua hoje extinta cujo derradeiro nome foi General Câmara, o escritor Pedro Nava nos conta histórias da cidade velha do Rio de Janeiro que não estão mais ancoradas na paisagem local. Guiado pelo livro de Nava, este trabalho percorre essa rua buscando a relação entre os diferentes topônimos mencionados pelo autor e o passado da via e da cidade, além de precisar o que foi destruído para a construção de uma avenida – e o que se mantém até hoje.

This article is devoted to functions served by characters’ proper names in Jingo by TerryPratchett. The analysis of 258 characteronyms is based on the theory of two acts (Gibka2019). For the study to be conducted, the models of the naming act and the act of usinga name in Jingo were created. The first part of the article deals with secondary permanentfunctions which are performed from the moment a character is named. The second partof the article focuses on secondary momentary functions which emerge in individual usesof particular proper names.
