The paper presents a mini survey of the hallmark English language motion pictures which are explicitly based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The selection of the six films under investigation takes into account various criteria such as aspects of chronology, culture, impact or novelty of approach. The analysis is based on four categories: genre, auteurism (authorship), reception and verisimilitude.

La fable documentaire : Zola et l’Histoire

In The Rougon-Macquart Emile Zola uses History as a framework for his cycle of novels. However, rather than in following the chronological order or in recounting the major events of the Second Empire, Zola is mainly interested in criticising the period in question. Referring to the reign of Napoleon III as a ‘closed circle,’ he strives to show that History repeats itself and that it has no meaning. In his last series, The Gospels, Zola precisely tries to recapture this meaning by underscoring the progress of humanity. But while history holds an important place from The Fortune of the Rougons through The Downfall to Rome, we must not forget that the novelist’s method also resembles that of a historian as both use documents which they select according to their importance and which they integrate into their discourse. Thus, the novel remains a ‘fable,’ that is to say, fiction, though it is still a documentary fable that guarantees its own historical veracity.

The article is an attempt to answer the question whether the result of the connection between corroboration and verisimilitude is an inductive element in the Popperian methodology. For this purpose the essay collates Karl Popper’s view with David Hume’s scepticism and inductionism of Rudolf Carnap. Further on the paper analizes the compromising”(for inductionism and critical falsificationism) proposition of Evaldas Nekraˇsas. The article also contains a presentation of Imre Lakatos’ allegation of Popper’s scepticism and the accusation of inductionism as formulated by John Watkins. The study of the disputes between the philosophers leads to the conclusion that the critical views are baseless. The final hypothesis is that these are not the right ways of proving the allegations of crypto-inductionism.
