- Keywords:Religion; Science; Religious Science; Contemporary World;
- Summary/Abstract:There are different classifications of sciences in the history of science in Islam, but despite their differences, we can generally talk about the meaning of the phrase “religious science”. What are these sciences and what is their difference with general sciences? Which characteristics make a science religious, and which make it secular? And should secular science be opposed to religious science at all, or is there some other division? Different answers were offered to all these questions. In this paper, we will try to gather these answers within the framework of three universal groups.

- Keywords:Insān-i kāmil; Masnavi; Rumi; Shams Tabrizi;
- Summary/Abstract:The paper will treat different readers receptions’ and layers of understanding of the work of Spiritual Masnavi (Masnavī Ma’navī), but also the relationship between Šams Tabrizi and Rumi, on an individual and collective level, based on the verses of Rumi of Masnavi and the Divan of Šams Tabrizi. It will try to penetrate into the causes of this multipolarity, the ultimate origins of which open up the possibility of an integrating reader’s reaction to Rumi’s most widely read work both in the East and in the West. It will be shown that the act of communication between the author, the work and the reader, in fact, grows into a self-knowledge process for the reader, and that in the act of reception, although it seems to the reader that he is judging the text, but by loading his own interpretation into the text, he is actually judging himself. To himself, in accordance with his own cognitive level. Therefore, the reader, for the sake of even a valid understanding of Masnavi, should try to build a holistic approach to this work, after Rumi points out that Masnavi, with all the multipolarity of the topic, speaks of only one Universal reality.

- Keywords:Caryl Phillips; Geocriticism; Migration; Nomadism; Patchworking; Smoothing;
- Summary/Abstract:Caryl Phillips was born in St. Kitts and raised in England; he now lives in the United States. Phillips has traveled and taught in various institutions around the globe. Phillips’s physical and fictional border-crossings imitate the African’s passages across the Atlantic. All Phillipsian migrant and exilic characters undergo some form of transgression, either traumatic or self-exploratory, in search of new lives and homes to sink “hopeful roots into difficult soil.” This paper argues that Phillips remodels these deterritorialized characters by turning them into nomads—inhabitants of the smooth space. Nomads attempt to smooth “striations” with their movements. Nomadic existence necessitates the deprivation of spatiotemporal anchoring. Nomads who possess no history use geography for their fluid passages according to Deleuze and Guattari. This paper also aims to discuss how Phillips uses a “patchwork” form in his stories of migrant and exilic experiences. Patchwork represents trajectories and movement in an open space.

- Keywords:Youth; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Social Participation; Political Participation;
- Summary/Abstract:This paper will try to draw attention to the reasons for disappointment or dissatisfaction and expressed desire to leave the homeland. The general assumption is that young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina are not interested in political events, are not involved in the electoral process, and do not participate in the socio-political life of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We will try to disprove these stereotypes and some others with arguments, but also draw attention to the lack of political, media and information literacy among young people in contemporary Bosnian society. Therefore, the focus of this paper will be the social and political participation of young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

- Summary/Abstract:Theorized by Jason Moore and Andreas Malm, the concept of “the Capitalocene” describes the exploitative metabolic acceleration of value extraction during the industrial production of the modern era. Capitalocene meat is one of the most urgent problems humanity currently faces. 62% of planetary mammal biomass is now livestock. In conclusion, the vegan poetics of Reines and Gudding reject and resist the carnophallogocentric production of subjecthood via normative meat consumption, as well as the image regimes that naturalize Capitalocene meat.

- Keywords:Shakespeare; Matriarchy; Female Energy; Rosalind; Cordelia;
- Summary/Abstract:Women are the central force of his drama and especially in the works he composed after 1598, Shakespeare brings forth the female energy to occupy the center-stage. This device helped ‘Shakespearean women’ to set themselves free from the subjection to the male energy otherwise dominating the stage and outside the theater preached vehemently by the clergy. Theatrically dominating the center was psychologically equivalent to the reshaping of the female mind and feminine virtue. Consequently, what we see as readers or members of an audience in the personae of Rosalind or Cordelia for instance, is the model and the forecast of a matriarchal system.

- Summary/Abstract:The world of polarities viz. Unipolar, Bipolar and Multipolar worlds have received greater attention in recent years across the world. Probing into the cause and effect of it is necessary for Mankind to understand the very meaning of polar/polarity. The word ‘polarity’ meant a body that exhibits opposite properties or powers in opposite parts or directions/a relationship between opposite characteristics or tendencies. The author puts a humble effort to understand whether the polarity is something real or is it just a mental perception. This paper primarily highlights on stating that polarity is just a mental perception and nothing else. It further states that only when we transcend the mind and look within, we are able to explore the Self and its nature which facilitates in understanding the very cause of polarities in oneself and the world we live in. Secondly, the paper discusses at length ‘What does the word ‘Self’exactly mean? Where is the world leading the Self to? How many Selves does one have? Does Man have One Self, two selves or multiple selves? If it is two then which one is the original Self? If it is multiple? Then is it the Individual Self or the Social Self or the Political self or the National Self? Which Self? The paper clarifies which Self it is. Thirdly, what are the repercussions of that Man, the Supreme of God’s creation would be confronted with the ignorance of the knowledge and experience of the‘Self’. Finally, the paper tries to arrive at a solution for the existing polarities in the world by putting forth the scriptures and the lives of enlightened souls whose lived experiences have been a mirror to understand the individual self and the role it plays in the aforementioned other selves viz., Social Self, Political Self and the National Self. Further, in understanding the individual self alone can one understand the cause of polarities in the Universe. Polarities, in the real sense, never existed before nor exists now and never will exist in the future for they are just mental perceptions in oneself and the projection of it into the outer world. Jean Baudrillard avers, “We are living in a hyper real world a world that captures the inability to distinguish “The Real from the signifier of it…” this inability is the very cause for the origination of polarity.

- No. of Pages:6
- Keywords:Multilayered; Multipolar; Narratives; Third World;
- Summary/Abstract:I would first draw your attention to the narratives of the third world. The fact that there is a third world is established by the narrative that there was once a first world. By the very virtue of its number, like being the first-born, this world was the first creation in history and, therefore, superior to all those that followed. This superiority in history supported the idea that all human development – society, culture, arts, laws to ensure peace, political relations, economy and economic well-being – were the creation of the first world.

- Keywords:J. R. R. Tolkien; Thomas Malory; Aragorn; King Arthur; Mythos;
- Summary/Abstract:The aim of the paper is to analyse the convolutedness of different layers which Aragorn and King Arthur share in their respective narratives. The paper predominantly describes Tolkien’s Aragorn and Malory’s Arthur through several literary prisms: comparative similarities between characters, the trope of the ‘wizard’s pupil’, the sociological position of a leader, and the post-postmodernist significance within the context of reality. This paper concludes that the fictional/mythological backdrop of the two rulers can uphold the dulce et utile standard. In other words, the aforementioned characters and their narratives can inspire the contemporary real-life leaders, governors, teachers and instructors to enhance their vocational skills.
Multivocality in Neo-Victorian Fiction

- No. of Pages:12
- Keywords:multivocality; historiographic metafiction; neo-Victorian; Waterland; Possession;
- Summary/Abstract:The late twentieth-century Britain has shown great degrees of emulation of the Victorian era with the aim of regaining the past glory and stirring the national pride. Fictional works produced at the time were categorized as neo-Victorian fiction. These works critically asses and talk/write back to the Victorian values, thereby countering Victorian metanarratives and allowing the emergence of petit récits. The aim of this paper is to broaden current knowledge of multivocality through the lens of historiographic metafiction in neo-Victorian fiction. The paper discusses two neo-Victorian novels: A. S. Byatt’s Possession and Graham Swift’s Waterland. The principal concern of this paper is the degree to which neo-Victorian fiction relies on historiographic metafiction and how historiographic metafiction engenders multivocality that had been suppressed in the Victorian age. Discussions of both novels greatly revolve around the historical representation of the past, the role of history and its narrativization, and the plurality of history, whereas the discussion of Byatt’s Possession takes into consideration the position of women and women artist’s autonomy in the Victorian era.

- Keywords:Serbia’s Foreign Policy; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Kosovo; North Macedonia; Montenegro; Diplomatic Relations; Region; Western Balkans;
- Summary/Abstract:If we analyse the foreign policy aspiration of Serbia in the last thirty years, it is clear that this country wants to expand its impact in the region with different methods. The most representative example of such an action of Serbia in the foreign policy segment is its imposition as a regional leader, and the expectations of other Western Balkan countries as such. The focus of work will be the presentation of Serbia’s foreign policy towards its neighbours, with special reference to the action and rhetoric towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and North Macedonia. The essence of the topic is that its character is not local, but regional, and in certain segments and global. The topic will be explained with the help of relevant sources, which will enable the verification and credibility of the author’s views presented.

- No. of Pages:6
- Keywords:Golden Age; Gogol; Ukraine; folklore; rituals;
- Summary/Abstract:The golden age of Russian literature was sealed by the unsurpassed writer of Ukrainian origin Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, who presented the Ukrainian reality to readers through a vivid landscape of the landscape and everything that made up Ukraine at that time. At the same time, through individual works such as the short story Sorocin Fair (Сорочинская ярмарка) from the collection, the structure of which is followed by elements of the fantasy of Ukrainian folklore, Evenings in a village near Dikanjka (Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки.), it shows the society inside Ukraine. The story Sorocin Fair was chosen precisely because, like all the others in this collection, it is accompanied by motifs from Ukrainian folklore in which the line of culture and customs of the cheerful and festive Ukrainian people can be traced. The goal, through one’s own perspective, is to explain whether today’s Ukraine is the way Gogol presented it, to make some kind of comparison with former and present Ukraine, and to show what reality is like today compared to Gogol’s time.

His Medusa shall be used as a symbol of surviving traumatic experiences, as her own trauma of sexual assault made her the token of protection that many people use in a form of a tattoo. Medusa’s tragic end (and the meaning behind the myth) shall be further explained on how the consequences of burying the voices of those who have experienced tragic events affect the survivors.

Not to mention the amount of discouragement one might get in the high circles; forlorn and plightful state.

- Keywords:Linguistic Relativity; Taboo Language; Categorization; Discrimination;
- Summary/Abstract:This paper tackles the concept of categorization through multiple approaches – from psychology, cognitive science such as linguistics, and a more humanist and idealistic approach. The primary aim of this work is to raise the question of whether categorization is indeed as beneficial to human beings as it seems to be. More precisely focused on the fact that humans are socially reliant beings, the paper presents categorization as a concept that is strengthened and even begun by the language we use every day.
