Pozemek za hlasy? Poválečná pozemková reforma, volby, kolektivizace a následný rozvoj zemědělství v Československu a v Rumunsku

Author(s): Dan, Mircea Duta / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 01/2012

The main subject of this study is the difference between the perception of the countries’ Communist parties on the part of the inhabitants of Czechoslovakia and Romania, and the linked disparate courses and results of their nationalisation of property and collectivisation. It is chiefly concerned with the difference in the strength of the Communist parties, which was far greater in the case of Czechoslovakia, as well as the importance and maturity of agriculture; these were factors that influenced the process of collectivisation in both countries.

Ethics and Politics

Ethique et Politique

Author(s): Jean-Louis Bruguès / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2014

Keywords: ethics; politics; political correctness; procedural ethics

The lecture engages the debate concerning the relation between politics and ethics. Ethics is the guardian of good practice and policy the guardian of the quality of life in the community. The author discusses their mutual historical development paying special attention to two dates. First in 1789, when the Bastille was demolished and the Republic founded with a slogan of ethical content (“Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”), but only in order to control it. The second date is 1989, the year in which the Berlin Wall fell, constitutes a turning point and the dominance of ethics over politics promoted by the triad: democracy, accountability, and human rights, which undoubtedly belong to the highest value. The problem with this is that ethical values can be used in an ideological way. In the final section, the Christian position on the proper relationship between ethics and policy and vice versa is discussed.

”The Human Species' Adaptation to Humanists Is Lacking"

”Adaptarea speciei umane la umaniști lasă de dorit”

Author(s): Cristian Pătrăşconiu,Călin-Andrei Mihăilescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 08/2016

Construction of the self-image or intermittence of the enunciator: a model of analysis of a political speech in Words of President - Jacques Chirac (1995-2203) and the presidential speech under the Fifth Republic by Damon Mayaffre (2004)

Construction de l’image de soi ou intermittence de l’énonciateur : un modèle d’analyse d’un discours politique dans Paroles de président – Jacques Chirac (1995-2203) et le discours présidentiel sous la Ve République par Damon Mayaffre (2004)

Author(s): Vasile Dospinescu / Language(s): French / Issue: 01/2006

In Damon Mayaffre’s book – a real model of objective analysis to its highest point – the data given by the computer and organized in tables, graphs and diagrams sustain lexical and grammatical descriptions, remarkably detailed, having at a starting point only a small number of words (generally around ten) which are either over–used or, on the contrary under-used in comparison to the average frequency in the corpus constituted by the discourses of five presidents (1958-2003). The lexicometric method and the computer-based analysis allow to select and measure in terms of size and figures and therefore to explore in a precise, systematic, objective and exhaustive way this enormous corpus standing for 816 discourses (1,544,505 words). Let us have an example : a word such as the adverb ‘naturally’ which occupies the first place in the list of Chirac’s lexical particularities (with an over-using index of +23), as Mayaffre shows us, is the very argumentative basis in Chirac’s discourse. Chirac cultivates the ethos but he enhances its efficiency by suggesting it and never by imposing it; in this way, his entire discourse tends to rebuild the image of a strong president. Our concept of the speaker’ intermittent presence in discourse seems to find a convincing confirmation and illustration in the concept of ethos, while remaining, nevertheless, clearly distinct.

Barresian pilgrimages

Pèlerinages barrésiens

Author(s): Claire Bompaire-Evesque / Language(s): French / Issue: 3/2013

Keywords: Maurice Barrès; sacred places; aestheticism; cult of the earth and the dead

This article is a inquiry about how Barrès (1862-1923) handles the religious rite of pilgrimage. Barrès stages in his writings successively three forms of pilgrimage, revealing what is sacred to him at different times. The pilgrimage to a museum or to the birthplace of an artist is typical for the egotism and the humanism of the young Barrès, expressed in the Cult of the Self (1888-1891). After his conversion to nationalism, Barrès tries to unite the sons of France and to inspire them a solemn reverence for “the earth and the dead” ; for that purpose he encourages in French Amities (1903) pilgrimages to historical places of national importance (battlefields; birthplace of Joan of Arc), building what Nora later called the Realms of Memory. The third stage of Barrès' intellectual evolution is exemplified by The sacred Hill (1913). In this book the writer celebrates the places where “the Spirit blows”, and proves open to a large scale of spiritual forces, reaching back to the paganism and forward to an integrative syncretism, which aims at unifying “the entire realm of the sacred”.

In search of the sacrum in the novels of the Belgian writer Chantal Deltenre

La quête du sacré dans les romans de Chantal Deltenre

Author(s): Judyta Zbierska-Mościcka / Language(s): French / Issue: 3/2013

Keywords: identity; postmodern religiosity; space; place; Chantal Deltenre

La plus que mère, La cérémonie des poupées and La maison de l’âme, the trilogy of the Belgian writer and ethnologist Chantal Deltenre – published in the first decade of the 21st century, illustrates post-modern religiosity, the main characteristics of which are diversity, syncretism and relativism. The search for the sacrum is supposed to be a type of initiation journey undertaken mostly by lost and uprooted individuals. It is a search for a safe and meaningful space (place) which is not just the opposite of the shapeless and meaningless world of the profanum, but also allows one to build one’s own identity.

STRUCTURES AND HYPOSTASES IN THE THEATER OF IONESCO

STRUCTURES AND HYPOSTASES IN THE THEATER OF IONESCO

Author(s): Ioana Bud / Language(s): French / Issue: 13/2018

Keywords: nonsense; absurd; character; the problem of the human world; metamorphosis;

We live in a world where we have the impression that things escape any logic, whom everything is against oneself and whom there are no rules(rulers). We can call it " an absurd world ", a world of the nonsense and the irrational. Having in mind this assertion : "I find that the whole world is absurd", made by a playwright and a French writer of Romanian origin, Eugène Ionesco, I decided to make a research on main plays that he wrote and see how he presents the nonsense of the world, by insisting on the structures and the hypostases of the characters. Because I can assert that all that Eugène Ionesco wrote gets organized around the "absurd" word .Il involves a dramatic art in which the nonsense and the grotesque receive a satiric and metaphysical reach .While we evoke the name of Ionesco today, we think at first of his theater and the wave of innovation, we think to The bald Opera singer or in of Rhinoceros.

The ‘little’ problem of Le Petit Prince in translation: Diminutives translated from French to Dutch and Polish

Het probleempje van Le Petit Prince in vertaling: Verkleinwoorden vertaald uit het Frans in het Nederlands en Pools

Author(s): Beata Popławska / Language(s): Dutch / Issue: 5S/2018

Keywords: diminutives; The Little Prince; Dutch and Polish translations; comparison

The article’s main objective is the analysis of the Dutch and Polish translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s novella Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince). After the opening remarks, the theoretical framework (i.e. the formation, classification, and functions of diminutives in French, Dutch, and Polish) is presented, followed by a quantitative analysis of diminutives in the original texts and the two translations. The Little Prince in this French original contains relatively few diminutives, especially given the fact that de Saint-Exupéry’s novella was originally classified as children’s literature, therefore answering the question whether the Dutch and Polish translations contain equally few diminutives as the French original is the main purpose of the analysis. Another issue addressed in the study is how the Polish and Dutch translators of the novel solved the problem of rendering diminutives in translation.

Mythology and Realism in Sylvie Germain's A LA TABLE DES HOMMES

MYTHOLOGIE ET REALISME DANS A LA TABLE DES HOMMES DE SYLVIE GERMAIN

Author(s): Serenela Ghiţeanu / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: Revisiting myths; the Noble Savage; the Tower of Babel; the Scapegoat; Cain and Abel; Criticism of modernity; Imaginary; French novel;

The aim of this article is to analyze the imaginary in Sylvie Germain’s latest novel, “A la table des hommes”, published in 2016. The writer goes back to one of his favorite interests, that of revisiting myths, some of the most important in the universal culture: the Noble Savage, the Tower of Babel, the Scapegoat and the myth of Cain and Abel. In the author’s intention, these myths are able to widely tell the story of an extravagant character, born from the strange union between a little pig and the body in agony of a human being. This union happens during the night, deeply hidden in a forest. The creature recently born becomes the main character of the novel and he will live among a modern civilization which is destroying itself. The writer returns to ones of his majors themes: the Evil, the War, the irrational nature of a human being and her purpose is to radically criticize modernity. The latter is perceived as being aggressive for nothing and highely fanatical. In a provocative manner, the novel presents a shocking replacement: the human being’s place is taken by an animal. A new human being is born who preserves a lot from his animal’s side and this one could be better than the human being. The novel begins as a fairytale and becomes a very modern fable, where the terrorist attacks bring down the European civilization and where the Internet is a common tool. Intolerance, ignorance, malice, betrayal are incriminated through some of the characters. However, kindness, solidarity and friendship are also present through other characters. A solution for escaping this mad world would be to become inspired by the genuine nature of the main character and his intellectual curiosity. In conclusion, starting with a mythological atmosphere, the novel ends up with a vision of critical realism.

REFLECTION of THE CLASSICAL TRADITIONS IN SONATA MODERNE FOR ACCORDION OP. 2 BY CARMELO PINO

REFLECTAREA TRADIŢIILOR CLASICE ÎN SONATA MODERNE PENTRU ACORDEON OP. 2 DE CARMELO PINO

Author(s): Dumitru Calmîş / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1(32)/2018

Keywords: accordion; Carmelo Pino; classicism; American composer; rondo; sonata;

This article reviews the Sonata Moderne for accordion op. 2 signed by the American composer Carmelo Pino that is considered the first creation of this kind in the USA. The whole cycle of the Sonata reveals a harmonious balance in the structure of the musical discourse determined by the proportionality of the melody, the perfect symmetry of the ordered rhythm, the clear harmony and the transparent texture. The unity of the cyclical form of the sonata is ensured not only by the dramatic-timbale specificity, but also by the essence of the intonational-themed organization of the musical material. Here we refer to the presence of a complex of intonational migratory formulas that strengthen the entire construction of the creation. The thematicunit, the proportionality of the elements of language and the architectural balance, being framed in the perfection of the forms(the allegro form of sonata in part I, the big tripartite one with episode in the second part and rondo in the end) undoubtedly determines clearly, despite the name, the closeness of Sonata Moderne for accordion op.2 to the classical traditions of European musical art.

ARCANUM 17 – PALIMPSESTAL TISSUE

ARCANE 17 – UN TISSU PALIMPSESTE

Author(s): Spomenka Delibašić / Language(s): French / Issue: 26/2019

Keywords: André Breton; Gérard Genette; Umberto Eco; surréalisme; Arcane 17;Tradition ésotérique;

Le texte d’Arcane 17 formule nombre de problèmes, particulièrement ceux de la théorie littéraire et ceux du statut du texte – essai, récit, prose poétique ? Considéré comme un texte à secret qui se donne comme à déchiffrer, un texte nécessitant une double lecture et recouvrant un double discours : l’un de surface, manifeste l’autre de profondeur formant ce tissu palimpseste qui s’inscrit explicitement dans le « sillon doré » de la Tradition ésotérique et se définit comme le produit d’un arrangement spécifique, d’une série de références empruntées à d’autres textes. Nous verrons comment, à travers son texte Arcane 17, André Breton reprend les éléments des mythes archaïques pour en créer de nouveaux et introduit la possibilité d’un déploiement de l’« imaginaire à vocation collective » – la « création d’un mythe collectif ». André Breton voulant libérer l’expression des carcans idéologiques et faisant de l’expression artistique la substance même de la vie met l’artiste en possession de la clé d’un trésor qui n’est autre que « le trésor collectif ».

Wolfgang Herrndorf’s novels and their reception in the Czech context

Romány Wolfganga Herrndorfa v českém kontextu a jejich kritický ohlas

Author(s): Jana Čeňková / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: literary criticism; review; German literature issued in Czech; novels of Wolfgang Herrndorf;

The paper starts with an overview of German literature issued in Czech. „Čik“ is a novel (road story) about two outsiders: 14-year-old Maik and Andrej Čichačov (nicknamed Čik), a descendant of a German family from the region of Wolyň. The plot depicts their travels around former Eastern Germany in a stolen Soviet Lada car. The book belongs to the category of literature for the young adult. „Čik“ has become a world bestseller. It has been translated into 24 languages. A large number of critical reviews and pieces of criticism on readers‘ websites and blogs have appeared in Germany, most often written from their subjective and biased point of view. The number of Czech reviews in Czech media has been minimal, with the exception of a review published on iLiteratura.cz website. „Čik“ belongs to topics discussed in university literature seminars and at conferences. „Sand“ is a novel for teenagers and adults. It is a book of sofisticated post-modern prose with a criminal story-line. The plot is set in Northern Africa and has deeper connotations of the current events. Both novels place extremely high demands on the translator. Michaela Škultéty has managed to convey the spirit of the dialogues. In „Čik“, there is a great deal of informal spoken language. In „Sand“„, the translator skillfully expressed the exotic setting and the multicultural aspects of all characters.

Interpretative reception is generally less prevalent than translated works, by the number of bibliographic entries, although there are significant book of critical essays about Blaga's poetry written by local authors. Interpretative reception and translating works, as an integral part of it, take Blaga's works translated into Serbian as well as works written in Romanian. His work have discussed particularly by translators such as Florika Stefan Petru Krdu, Adam Puslojić, Srba Ignjatovic but also researchers such as Ophelia Meza, Marijana Dan, etc. This paper deals with issues of sensitivity in the transposition of philosophical and metaphysical nuances in Blaga's poetry and about the translated texts from the semantic, stylistic and prosaic point of view.
