LITERARY SECTION
S. Tsvetkova. Homeland: A Poetry [In Bulgarian] (p. 261)
Notes: 4; References: 8
"Homeland" is a cycle of poems dedicated to Belogradchik and the district. These poems have already been published in a recent Tzvetkova's book "I Am Yantra" (Varna, 2012). Stefka Tsvetkova grew in a family of the teacher Tsvetko Stoyanov; her mother is also a teacher, and it is the reason for her to live and study in Belogradchik, Lom, Oreshets, Karbintsi, Varbovchets, Alexandrovo and Gyurgich. To write her poems Tsvetkova was inspired from these places and their people.

F. Kanitz. Between Lom, Archar and Vitbol (1932) [In Bulgarian] (p. 282)
Notes: 21; References: 12
This is a chapter of the first Bulgarian edition (1932) of the famous Felix Kanitz's book "Donau-Bulgarien und der Balkan." Felix Kanitz (1829-1904) was an Austro-Hungarian traveler, naturalist, geographer, ethnographer and archeologist. His travel in Bulgaria continued 16 years. Kanitz is regarded as one of the first profound ethnographers of the South Slavs. As such, he has earned great respect particularly in modern Serbia and Bulgaria. The present article gives full information about the visit of Kanitz in Skomlya, Ratsiaria (Archar), Rabisha, Vitbol and other villages.

N. Akingbe, C.B. Ogunyemi, A. Akinkugbe (Nigeria). Sustaining the Heritage: Assessing the Aesthetics of Verbal Symbolisation and Signification in Idanre Orature (p. 360)
Notes: 1; References: 8
This study shows how oral poetry permeates the culture and activities of Africans. In almost all African communities, there are poetic expressions such that poems are sung to express mother/father/child's emotional state for and at every occasion. These include marriage, age grade celebration, departure or separation from one another, death, farming, hunting, trading and religious celebrations. The paper x-rays cultural configuration with the application of cultural theory to delineate societal transformation.
