A donkey is an animal that can be found in linguistic, literary, and cultural-anthropological works. However, this work analyses the symbolism of the animals that appear in the Chakavian poetry by Zvane Črnja, Croatian poet, opinion journalist and cultural historian. It specifically focuses on the character of donkey (or tovar) in that poetry, as well as the poetic effect of the place that the motif or the subject of donkey occupies in Črnja’s poems. In his poetry, the donkey represents, at least toan extent, a signum or a symbol of the rebellion of those who are oppressed, invisible or marginalized due to their language, their culture or their social status. It is a symbol of all of those who perceive their marginalism as the cause for uprising or newly awakened self-awareness, and which, in part, fits into the pattern of the Mediterranean cultural codex, due to its humoristic aspect.

Przedmiotem analizy podjętej w artykule jest Pwt 25,4. Kontekst literacki i społeczno-kulturowy, jak również chronologia tekstów biblijnych wskazują, że jest to jedno z pierwszych, a nawet w ogóle pierwsze biblijne prawo, mające na uwadze „humanitarny” stosunek do zwierząt. Jego korzeni należy szukać w tradycji mądrościowej starożytnego Izraela (Prz 12,10), naturalnym poczuciu więzi z naturą panujących w społeczności rolniczej oraz w specyfice teologii deuteronomistycznej.

The subject of analysis undertaken in the article is Deuteronomy 25:4. The literary, social and cultural context as well as chronology of biblical texts indicate that it is one of the first or even the first biblical law taking into consideration a „humanitarian” approach towards animals. Its roots must be sought in the wisdom tradition of ancient Israel (Proverbs 12:10), the natural feeling of a bond with nature common in the agri-cultural society as well as the specificity of Deuteronomistic theology.

W artykule podjęto rozważania na temat stosunku chłopów do krów, podstaw i mechanizmów jego semiotyzacji oraz mitopoetycznej interpretacji wizerunków krowy (cielaka) w różnych typach i gatunkach tradycyjnej białoruskiej kultury duchowej. Autorka analizuje materiał folklorystyczny i etnograficzny zarejestrowany w latach 1990–2018 na Polesiu Brzeskim. Wykazano, że powstały na gruncie motywacji mitologicznej „kod krowy-byka” obejmuje rozległy obszar zjawisk kultury duchowej i materialnej chłopów, przedmiotów związanych z życiem chłopskim, i jest odnotowywany w terminologii związanej z rytuałami, a także w obrzędowych i nieobrzędowych tekstach folklorystycznych

This article discusses peasants’ attitude to cows, the foundations and mechanisms of this attitude’s semiotization, and the mythological and poetic interpretations of the images of the cow (and of the calf) in various types and genres of Belarusian traditional spiritual culture. Inna Shved examines folkloric and ethnographic material recorded in the Brest Polesie region in the period 1990–2018. She identifies and describes the “cow-bull code”, which covers a wide range of phenomena in the spiritual and material culture of peasants and relates to objects of peasant life. Deriving its origin from mythology, this code is reflected in ritual terminology and in folklore texts used in rituals and otherwise.

В статье на фольклорно-этнографичеком материале, главным образом зафиксированном в 1990-е – 2018 гг. в Брестском Полесье, рассматриваются отношения крестьян к корове, основания и механизмы ее семиотизации, особенности мифопоэтической трактовки образов коровы (тельца) в различных видах и жанрах белорусской традиционной духовной культуры. Показано, что «коровье-бычий код», возникший на основе мифологической мотивации, покрывает обширное поле явлений крестьянской духовной и материальной культуры, предметов крестьянского быта, отчетливо просматривается в ритуальной терминологиии и обрядовых и необрядовых текстах фольклора.

Taking Barthes’ discussion of Aesop’s lion as my starting point, I examine the notion of the stereotype as it applies to the use of animals in philosophy and cultural theory. By employing an illustrative selection of animal ciphers from Saussure and Austin, and animal indices from Peirce and Schopenhauer, I argue that theory’s beasts are always at risk of becoming either exemplars of a deadening, generic Animal or mere stultifying stereotypes. Gilbert Ryle’s faithful dog, Fido, as well as a number of Aesop’s edifying animals, help to demonstrate that these two dangers are not inescapable, however. I close by indicating two strategies for preventing the unnecessary inhibition of the creatures of critical theory, focusing on Derrida’s individual and gently unruly cat.
