A debate over whether children’s nonfiction should “speculate” was launched in 2011. Understood within the context of changing demands on children’s nonfiction, it reveals a contested construction of childhood and suggests that the rules of critical engagement might be different in different genres of children’s nonfiction.

The immediate reason for writing this article is the novel Nine Nights by the Brazilian writer Bernardo Carvalho, and the subject is the thematization of anthropological thanatography and suicidology on the example of writing about the death of the forgotten anthropologist Buell Quain among the Brazilian Indians. The story of his anthropological work and suicide, once a taboo topic in the discipline, forms an integral part of a significant, but lesser-known episode in the history of American and Brazilian anthropology in the first half of the 20th century. The literary work in question is treated as one of the heuristic sources for the reconstruction of Quaine’s biography and ethnography and the anthropological-historical analysis of the case, and not as an analytical subject in itself. The anthropological understanding and interpretation of the ethnographer’s suicide in the field includes a number of interrelated subjective and objective factors: the idiosyncratic life history, the very nature and conditions of ethnographic research, the actual condition of the studied Indian communities, and the political climate in Brazil on the eve of World War II.

This research departs from the problem of the decline in student character values due to the low strengthening of character values. This study aims to describe the biography of KH. Subkhi and the character of the Pancasila student profile in KH. Subkhi and also the process of strengthening the Pancasila student profile in SKI learning based on local wisdom figures in Temanggung. This study uses a phenomenological approach and qualitative descriptive methods. The object of this study is MIN 1 Temanggung. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study show three findings. First, KH. Subkhi is a religious figure who grew up with his grandfather and father in the pesantren environment and then inherited his grandfather's generous, critical and independent nature. He founded Barisan Muslim Temanggung (BMT) to fight the Dutch colonizers. Second, KH. Subkhi's character is relevant to the six values of the Pancasila student profile: faith and devotion, cooperation, independence, creativity, critical reasoning, and global diversity. Third, strengthening the Pancasila student profile in SKI learning integrated with the KH. Subkhi's character starts with planning, learning activities, and closing.

The article is devoted to the study of the history of the image of Prince and King Danylo Romanovych in the Ukrainian cultural memory of the second half of the 19th century. The choice of the suggested segment of memory studies in Ukrainian history was chosen due to the ideological and, to some extent, the political context of the creation and subsequent construction of the image of Danylo Romanovych as «Prince Danylo Halytskyi» was not investigated in historiographical tradition. Also, some of the features of the creation of historical myths and pseudo-scientific names should be discovered around the ruler’s biography in the process of forming a national identity. The image of Danylo, deprived of a real background, has led to the formation of a limited perspective of historical research, which reduces the cultural and spatial influence of his figure to the Western Ukrainian region and does not fully reconstruct the period of transformation of the Galician-Volyn state into the kingdom of Rus. The author substantiates the main methodological principles of work, reviews the state of study of the scientific problem in the literature, and describes the sources used to realize the goal and objectives. Suggested studies about King Danylo Romanovych were hold due to the methodological constructs of the phenomenon of memoria in Western European researchers. An important role is devoted to understanding the basic terms of memory discourse, which became the core of the implementation of the ideas of the author in the work. Among them, we distinguish the concept of memory and its forms, the phenomenon of the nation, collective and cultural identity, social and individual consciousness. The author highlighted the peculiarities of the intellectual history of the representatives of the Ukrainian national movement – M. Dashkevych and M. Kostomarov, who borrowed to their historical narrative the Russophile «Danylo Halytskyi». This researchers tried to use this image to form their conception of Ukrainian history of Rus.

The purpose of the study is to reconstruct the Polish-Ukrainian discourse of editorial and journalistic works of Yulian Tarnovich. The methodology of the study is to combine general scientific (abstracting, analysis and synthesis, induction, deduction, classification, typology, generalization), interdisciplinary (comparative, critical, systematic, structural and system approach), and specially historical (comparative-historical, problem-chronological, periodization, retrospective) methods. In the course of the study, it was discovered that Y. Tarnovich paid particular attention to the most problematic period of the Polish-Ukrainian relations – 1920–1940s, marked by attempts to denationalize the Lemkos in the Second Commonwealth, an international confrontation during the period of the German-Soviet War, by forceful deportation of the Lemkos from their native land in 1945–1947. It is stated that the publicist covered this complex subject not from a narrow national position, but from the standpoint of universal values. By providing numerous examples Y. Tarnovich showed that when the stronger ignores ordinary human rights, he becomes weaker in the long run, he destroys himself, because barbarism in relation to the neighbor generates the energy of self-destruction. The conclusions about the saturation of Y. Tarnovych's creative heritage with problems of Polish-Ukrainian relations have been made. It has been concluded that the analysis showed the fruitfulness of the further appeal to the international discourse of the creative heritage of the outstanding Lemko figure that should become a key component of his intellectual biography.

Biography of Lucy May Perkins.

The genesis of the first Mongol State (1206) was overseen and led by Genghis Khan, whose conquests remain a formidable historical series of events. The Secret History of the Mongols narrates his biography as a tale of surviving repeated life threats and defeating major enemies. From this history, I have extracted an existential framework to explain how he survived in a dangerous natural, social and political environment. The rise of this State compressed what occurred in most other historical States, and I will summarize my Anthrocentric Security Theory as general explanation of this phenomenon, drawing on Western philosophy, especially philosophical anthropology. The framework consists of four levels of Being - state of nature, life- community, State, and civil society. Each level has enabled humans to devise several Security Action Platforms from which are launched particular security actions, culminating in the State. Successful in three stages, but not in creating a civil society, the Mongol State assimilated and absorbed the strengths of natural men and life-communities, enabling the expansion into Eurasian empire under his sons and grandsons.

What does it mean to be German after Hitler and National Socialism? Gisela Heidenreich’s memoir Das endlose Jahr: Die langsame Entdeckung der eigenen Biographie—ein Lebensborn Schicksal (The Endless Year: The Slow Discovery of My Own Biography—A Lebensborn Destiny, 2002), highlights the dependence on physical markers and monuments in understanding one’s place in history. Heidenreich discovers her origin as a Lebensborn child through family secrets, but it is not until she traverses the landscape of her past that she truly begins to understand her place within history. I argue that, along with family photographs and narratives, places play an integral role in the identity process through the metaphor of the palimpsest. In Heidenreich’s memoir, the German notion of Heimat reveals itself as a process, rather than a static and immovable space. Das endlose Jahr addresses the interplay between memory, places, and space through Heidenreich’s complex relationship with her mother, and her ambivalent sense of belonging through the palimpsest markers that remain. At its core, Das endlose Jahr is a memoir about the search for Heimat in all the wrong places.
