Mýtus Buenos Aires v diele J. L. Borgesa

Author(s): Paulína Šišmišová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2012

The author explores the forming of the myth of Buenos Aires and its modern symbols (compadrito, milonga and tango) in the work of the Argentinean writer J. L. Borges. In the first part she points out the influences that formed Borges’s work with regard to this aspect (the Spanish avant-garde poet Cansinos Asséns and the Argentinean folk poet Evaristo Carriego) and identifies the differences between Borges’s urban poetics and the poetics of flânerie. The second part introduces Borges’s poetic programme of “urban creolism” that brought to literature the motif of suburbs as a place where tradition encounters modernity and the motif of compadrito, the urban “descendant” of gauchos. She indicates that this programme also involved mythologisation of Buenos Aires that resulted from a mix of Borges’s memories, imagination and historical facts. The third part analyses the cult of courage embodied in compadrito, the protagonist of milongas and tangos. She also affirms that in the course of time the exclusively Argentinean themes in Borges’s writings acquire a universal philosophical dimension and thus Buenos Aires become dreamlike and labyrinthic. These observations are substantiated with fragments of Borges’s poetry and prose.

Néhány szempont a katolikus ökoteológia kérdéseihez

Author(s): Szabolcs Orbán / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2012

Il problema dell'ecologia diventa una questione che sempre di più, ed in una maniera sempre più profonda, tocca e coinvolge tutti i livelli della società odierna. Negli anni 60 alcuni studiosi hanno fatto l'affermazione, che i radici di questo problema sono collegati con “l'arroganza giudeo-cristiana” che ha avvelenato la mentalità umana e ha portato ai risultati che possiamo scoprire nelle tragedie del mondo di oggi. Nel nostro articolo mettiamo in evidenza i problemi di questa affermazione, e cerchiamo di presentare l'apporto della Chiesa cattolica alla ricerca degli radici di questa questione, e nello stesso momento di abbozzare una via di uscita da questa crisi. Una via che prima di tutto necessità una conversione ecologica, per il quale mostriamo un modello in San Francesco di Assisi e nella spiritualità francescana.

Svédországi szent Birgitta és az olasz „költőkirályok”

Author(s): Zoltán Rokay / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2012

In einigen katholischen Gemeinden scheint die Fröm¬migkeit der heiligen Birgitta wieder aktuell zu sein. Es ist immer vorteilhaft, die Heiligen auch in ihrem historischen Rahmen kennenzulernen. Diese Ar¬beit hat schon Günther Schiwy in seinem Werk: „Birgitta von Schweden”, 2007 (Beck, München) geleistet. Er vergleicht dabei das Frauenbild der Heiligen mit jenem ihrer Zeitgenossen: Dante, Petrarca und Bocaccio. Meiner Meinung nach besteht die geistige Nähe zu den „Dichterkönigen” eher in der Schilderung der kirchlichen Missstände, wobei sie seitens Birgitta eine Ermahnung aufgrund ihrer Privatoffenbarungen darstellt.

Plázakultúra és egyház. Az olcsó „sikerstratégiák” hiábavalóságáról

Author(s): Dávid Diósi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2012

Die Einkaufszentren sind heutzutage zu Erlebnis¬zentren, zu Kathedralen des Konsums geworden. Es ist zweifellos eine Welt des subtilen Transzendenz-Surrogats. In diese verschönerte, geschminkte Welt darf nichts Störendes hineinkommen. Hier wird das in sich an¬scheinend stimmige, geschlossene Universum zelebriert. Oft gerät selbst die Kirche in die Versuchung, dass eine solche, schmeichelhafte Weltins¬zenierung auch für sie viel Erfolg verheißen kann. So versucht sie sich möglichst dadurch „menschennah“ zu präsentieren, dass sie einen freundlichen, nur harmlosen, kumpelhaften Gott verkündigt: einen Gott, dem alles gut und schön ist, einen Gott, der die Menschen so annimmt, wie sie sind. Keiner muss sich ändern, sondern im Leben alles genauso weiterlaufen lassen, wie bisher. Wenn einer sich überhaupt ändern soll, dann ist dies Gott. Dieses inzwischen weit verbreitete Verhaltensmuster der Kirche in der Seelsorge und Liturgie wird in der folgenden Studie näher analysiert und bloßgestellt.

Instrumentum egy vitához. Fogarasy Mihály könyve az erdélyi püspökök kormányszéki tanácsosságáról

Author(s): István Nemes / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2012

The following paper deals with the book on the political status of Transylvanian bishops written by Mihály Fogarasy issued in 1837, the year of a great political debate on this topic in the Parliament of Grand Duchy of Transylvania. During the 18th century and the first half of 19th century, Transylvanian bishops held a very important position in the government of the country, which was a part of Habsburgic Empire at that time. They were a kind of vice prime ministers. But protestant orders considered their status as being illegal and discriminatory, since Transylvanian laws guaranteed equal religious and political liberty for all politically suitable agents, members of the four accepted denominations acknowledged in the country. Starting with year 1791 the position of catholic bishops was highly disputed in the Parliament of the province. Once with the apparition of early liberalism in Transylvania in the thirties of 19th century, the topic came in question again. The last important debate focused on the matter took place in 1837. Both counterparts were preparing themselves carefully for the battle. Mihály Fogarassy, a young and talented catholic priest of the time, later bishop of Transylvania, intended his book entitled On the Civil Status of the Bishop of Transylvania, to be an instrument and source for conservative politicians that decided to defend the post of bishop Miklós Kovács. The book summarizes the whole set of arguments for and objections against the bishop`s position, and so, gives a quite accurate picture over the essential issues emerged in the Parliament.

A börtönpasztoráció tanulságai és távlatai

Author(s): László Koncsag / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2012

Prisons are a special area of pastoral life. Pastoral care in prisons is special by the nature of the institution itself. The limitations of personal freedom reduces the possibility of movement, and the rigid routine of prison life keeps the prisoners in constant tension. This is further compounded by the reduced decision-making facilities and a lack of responsibility and challenges. The prison chaplain has to be the witness of God's free mercy, forgiving love, of goodness and tenderness in an environment where there is hardly any forgiveness. The importance of a prison chaplain consists in continually strengthen the faith and the hope of the closed ones.

A jövő egyházának „kényelmetlen” atyánkfiai

Author(s): Dávid Diósi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2012

Laut „Spiegel online“ zeigen die Ergebnisse einer neu¬en Studie des Forschungsteams der Berliner Humboldt-Universtät, der Universität von British Columbia in Vancouver sowie der Partnerver¬mittlung eDarling, dass heutzutage diejenige Menschen, die Wert auf Unab¬hängigkeit und Eigensinn legen, sich immer mehr von ihrer Kultur unter¬scheiden wollen. Sie vertreten Ansichten, die nicht der gängigen Norm der Gesellschaft entsprechen. Wer sich heute von der Masse unterscheiden will, kann möglicherweise das Christentum entdecken. Es wäre aber falsch zu glauben, dass in der Kirche alles so bleibt, wie es ist. Denn gerade diese Menschen, die für sich die Kirche neu entdecken, werden kritische Fragen an die Kirche haben. Sie werden „unbequem“ sein: durch ihre Fragen und Erwartungen. Doch gerade diese „Unbequemen“ werden die Kirche verändern und mit neuer schöpferischen Kraft erfüllen. Durch ihr Fargen und ihre Lebensweise werden sich die Horizonte der zukünftigen Kirche weiten und eröffnen. Ihr Fragen bereitet die Zukunft der Kirche.

A lélek töredelme. Hogyan mélyül el a hit útján a krízisben lévő ember?

Author(s): László Czikó / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2012

Oggi giorno parliamo molto sulle crisi e dobbiamo costatare che quasi sempre questo concetto viene usato in un modo negativo, ma tuttavia dobbiamo sottolineare che la crisi non è soltanto un pericolo, una negatività, ma è anche un chance.(opportunità) (su questo parla anche il filosofo contemporaneo Gianni Vattimo, quando presenta il mondo postmoderno come il mondo del chaos, come un mondo della crisi, ma secondo Vattimo questo crisi diventa la nostra chance. naturalmente non parla sul piano spirituale come TU) In questa breve opera (scritto) vorrei presentare e sottolineare questa chance, cioè che le crisi che accadono nelle nostre anime, portano con loro la possibilità di una profonda metanoia (conversione). La nostra anima deve distruggersi, o deve essere distrutta per poter sbocciare in una radicale conversione che prende l’aria di Dio e rivestirsi delle figura di Dio. Così escono fuori energie senza le quali diventa impensabile una fede profonda. Usare la crisi è il nostro compito cristiano per ritrovare noi stessi, per essere capaci di avvicinarsi a Dio, per essere capaci di dionizzarsi (diventare Dio).

Number In Estonian Sign Language

Author(s): Merilin Miljan / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2003

Abstract. The article presents an exploratory analysis of the grammatical category of number in Estonian Sign Language (ESL). The manifestation of number in ESL is described from the cross-linguistic perspective proposed by Corbett (2000), and focuses on the meaning distinctions of the ESL number system, as well as on the morphological operations which are employed to express these. It is shown that the notion of number in a sign language diverges from the more straightforward accounts of number in spoken languages, as it is not only the distinction between singular and plural that is obligatorily shown, but also such specific information as the locus and arrangement of the referents of the marked sign.
