Abstract
John Guare distinguishes himself as a playwright who has represented New York City's various neighborhoods and has fought realist conventions throughout his work. By relying on considerations advanced by Robert Bennett in his study of the literature, art, jazz and architecture of New York City after World War II, the current analysis shows that Guare approaches the discourse of the global capital of the world deconstructively, just like the post-war avant-garde he is probably familiar with. Moreover, Guare's own search for experimental strategies reflects that of his predecessors and of the shape-shifting city itself. Included in a volume which is part of the Contemporary Dramatists series published by Methuen Drama, the four plays under discussion are: "The House of Blue Leaves" (1971), "Landscape of the Body" (1977), "Bosoms and Neglect" (1979, 1986) and "Six Degrees of Separation" (1990). Exploring the main characters' experiences in New York City and their encounters with recognizable (or easily legible) sites of this quintessentially American metropolis, such as Greenwich Village and Central Park, the essay examines how Guare deconstructs urban space, advancing a most original and coherent reading of the city.

Abstract
The essay sets out to explore the functions of food discourse in the plays Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov and Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley. Based on the critically established continuity between the two plays, the essay looks at the ways the dramatists capitalize on food imagery to achieve their artistic goals. It seemed logical to discuss the alimentary practices within the framework of everyday life studies (Edmund Husserl, Alfred Schütz, Fernand Braudel, Bernhard Waldenfels and others), moved to the forefront of literary scholarship by the anthropological turn in the humanities. Enhanced by a semiotic approach, this perspective enables one to understand food products and consumption manners as performing a variety of functions in each play. Most obviously, they are instrumental in creating the illusion of "everydayness" vital for new drama. Then, for Chekhov, food comes to epitomize the spiritless materiality of contemporary life, while in Henley's play it is predominantly used, in accordance with the play's feminist agenda, as a grotesque substitute for the lack of human affection. Relying upon the fundamental cultural distinction between everyday and non-everyday makes it possible to compare representations of festive occasions in the two plays seen through the gastronomical lens of "eating together." Despite substantial differences, the emphases on alimentary practices in the plays serve to realize the inexhaustible dramatic potential inherent in the minutiae of quotidian life.

In my study, I am going to examine the relationship between language, politics and poetry in the context of identity development concerning the Meänkieli speaking community living in the Torne/ Tornio Valley.
The Torne River Valley (or Tornedalian) Finns were cut off from Finland in 1809, when Sweden lost the territory of Finland in favour of Russia. Ever since, the Tornedalian Finns have become the victims of a definite assimilation policy.
Their linguistic emancipation started in the 1980s. Their language, Meänkieli, has been a minority language officially acknowledged in Sweden since 2000. Still, it is a seriously stigmatized and endangered language nowadays, as well.
Many people in the world think that "language" should be understood as the language spoken by the majority of a national state. Still, most of the world's endangered languages are the languages of indigenous and ethnic groups that only exist as minority languages. It is paradoxical that minority languages constitute, in fact, the large majority, although they have been considered peripherical or marginalized.
The notion of "periphery versus centre" has a long tradition in being applied in different fields of human sciences, mainly in social and political analysis. The aim of my research on the identity of ethnic and linguistic minorities is to rethink these notions in terms of the dynamics of multilingual ethnic minority versus unilingual national majority. I disapprove of the idea that what belongs to the centre is to be considered a standard and of greater value than what is associated with the periphery. In fact "periphery" and "centre" are related and dynamic terms, depending on the perspective from which we look upon them.
The most eloquent example of the spiritual richness of the periphery in Sweden is Bengt Pohjanen who writes poetry, prose, drama, opera librettos, articles, film scripts etc. in three languages: Meänkieli, Swedish and Finnish. Possessing a thorough knowledge of the once lively Meänkieli culture, he is also a consistent representative of alterity in the hegemonic Swedish culture.
As Bengt Pohjanen is a writer and a poet, as well as a public figure, a key personality of revitalizing the Meänkieli language, his works are especially suitable to be examined in a complex way, from the point of view of different human sciences (linguistics, literature, sociology, psychology).

The hermeneutic method and comparative and comparative historical, biographical method makes it possible to find out the dependence of S. Vorobkevych's views on poetics on the life basis. Scientific novelty. The realization of this task is also connected with the study of the writer's views on poetics. They may not always be correct, some judgments have undergone some changes chronologically, but their value in understanding the poetics of works is unquestionable. The writer mostly used the term "style", interpreting this category as a set of artistic means that distinguish the work of one author from another. S. Vorobkevych divided literature into poetry, prose and drama. He differentiated poetry into folk (folklore) and literary. He defined a literary work as a structure consisting of content and form. In the content segment, S. Vorobkevych defined a theme and an idea. In his own work, the writer described two themes: the theme of Bukovyna in various versions and the theme of the historical past of Ukraine. The poet defined the idea of a literary work as "pearl", "grain", "fruit". Conclusions. S. Vorobkevych's arguments about the form of the literary work were important. The results obtained are an important material for expressing our knowledge of the poetics of S. Vorobkevych's poetic works; they are the material for comparison with the similar material on the artistic nature of Y. Fedkovych's poetic works. Researcher might receive a general picture of the poetics of national poetry works in Bukovynain the second half of the nineteenth century on the basis of revealing common features, taking into account the data of other Ukrainian poets of the region of this period.
