“Look straight into my eyes tell me the truth and not lies”. The exploitation of self-references in shaping self-awareness while constructing deceptive messages: a case study of polish speaking individuals

Author(s): Anna Kuzio / Language(s): English / Issue: 29/2017

To confirm the statement that there is a reduction of first-personal singular pronouns individuals employ while being insincere, a closer look was taken on what kind of effect a manipulation of self-awareness could have on the self-references that people employ while lying. The private self-awareness of the participants was manipulated by using a mirror. It was supposed that a mirror functions as an instrument to reinforce the measurable effects of lying on language. In total, 100 males and 100 females from Poland took part in this experiment. They were randomly divided into two conditions. 50 people took part when the mirror was present and 50 people took part when the mirror was absent. The results indicated that no important effect was observed. The exploitation of first-personal singular pronouns did not decrease when people were deceitful as compared to when individuals were telling the truth, and this effect was not reinforced by the existence of the mirror.

Author(s): Hana Younis / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 47/2018

This paper, based on the archival material, indicates the phenomenon of proving paternity in Bosnia and Herzegovina between the 19th and 20th century. Proving paternity is a topic which points out numerous changes which brought the Austro-Hungarian governance. How the lawsuits looked like and what were the rights of the child and the mother are questions which are especially responded to in this paper. The specific examples show the practice, problems, rights and wishes which followed these processes. How much were the “illegitimate” children a part of everyday life is illustrated through available numbers, which also show the difference in presence of the “illegitimate” children in bigger and in smaller cities.

“Poveži se bojom, približi se slikom” – art-terapija u funkciji zaštite i unapređenja mentalnog zdravlja djece i mladih s teškoćama u razvoju

Author(s): Zvonimir Parac,Josipa Ursic,Dunja Pivac,Žana Pavlovic,Željko Kljucevic / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2018

In this paper, the use of art therapy to maintain and improve the mental health of children and young people with disabilities is described. The stigmatisation that such young people often encounter diminishes their mental health, while successful social integration maintains and develops their mental health. This has been shown in a study conducted within the project “Connect through colour, get closer through pictures”, in which the participants were children and young people with disabilities, as well as their peers without developmental disabilities. The fundamental aim of the project was to raise awareness and sensitivity of children from primary and secondary schools toward the problems, needs and abilities of people with disabilities, and to stimulate them to think and act in an inclusive manner. The research was carried out as part of a project in which 359 pupils from Split-Dalmatia County participated. A survey of open- and closed-ended questions was administered, after which qualitative and quantitative data were analysed. The results of this research showed that art therapy as a tool for social interaction contributes to the protection and improvement of mental health in children with disabilities, and increases sensitivity and acceptance from their peers without disabilities. The resulting two-way socialisation in the stimulating environment contributes to the protection and improvement of mental health of children with disabilities.

“Sinepati” Kavramı Bağlamında “Jean-Luc Dardenne Kardeşler” Sineması

Author(s): Süleyman Kivanç Türkgeldi / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: Sp. Iss/2019

The main aim of this study is to distinguish empathy within the confinements of cinema and to think of a new concept called “Cinepathy” which will be evaluated through cinematographic items and identifiers in the cinema of the Dardenne Brothers. Theoretical section focuses on the meanings of empathy and its distinction with sympathy. The philosophical views that an empathic relationship exists between “I” and “the other” are being put to discussion. Then different views on the relation of the viewer towards the film are being emphasized in cinema theory. Finally the relationship between cinema and empathy is been evaluated. Questions such as, ‘’How does cinema think about empathy and how does the viewer interact with this thought process?’’ are trying to be answered in this part. In this context the possibilities of the concept of “cinepaty” which has specific attributes in the general art of cinematography will be discussed. Afterwards this new concept of “cinepathy” was considered together with the style of cinema unique to the Dardenne brothers. If cinema has a mind of it’s own then it is important to consider how it can think about empathy.

“Spider Diplomacy” as a Complementary Explanation of the New International Circumstances

Author(s): Bejtush Gashi,Gurakuç KUÇI / Language(s): English / Issue: 58/2018

The new century with the dynamics of international relations has challenged theories, as it called Popper ‘strict universality’ and the need for ‘numerical universality' theoretical explanations. In the twentieth century, theories of international relations developed, but these theories are in the battle with explanation changes rather than expanding the theoretical framework. The need for new explanations doesn’t reject old theories, only requires their axioms to be more inter-theoretical and with new variables that explain the course of the deliberate actions of state actors to the intended purpose. So this theoretical change and the acquisition of some realistic axioms, by adding inter-theoretic variables (pragmatism, foreign policy analysis, offensive realism, and defensive realism), sends us to a theorization we have called “spider diplomacy”. Almond in the 1960s considered that “with the decline of the norms and traditions of political sciences, the need for political theory and theories has increased”, where we find the same situation today for explaining the new geopolitical and geostrategic circumstances.

“THE MOST WARLIKE NATION” FROM “HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL” ISLANDS: JAPAN IN MATAS ŠALČIUS’S TRAVELS

Author(s): Linas Didvalis / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

The paper seeks to analyse the connections between Japan and Matas Šalčius (September 20, 1890 to May 26, 1940) who was a traveler, writer, journalist and prominent political figure in the inter-war Lithuania. Dynamic fate of Šalčius allowed him to start exploring distant lands comparatively early in his life. What made his explorations important is that he was eager to bring his knowledge and experiences back to Lithuania and share them by publishing articles and books.

“The Narrative Is Ambiguous and That Location Isn’t the Right Location”: Presenting and Interpreting Medieval Saints Today in Canterbury, Durham and York

Author(s): Tiina Sepp / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Drawing on research for the Pilgrimage and England’s Cathedrals, Past and Present project, this article explores how the project’s medieval case study cathedrals – Canterbury, Durham and York – present their saints and shrines, and how visitors react to and interpret them. While looking at various narratives – predominantly about saints in historical and contemporary contexts – attached to these cathedrals, I also aim to offer some glimpses into how people interact with and relate to space. I argue that beliefs and narratives about saints play a significant role in the pilgrimage culture of the cathedral. I will also explore how the lack of a clear central narrative about the saint leaves a vacancy that will be filled with various other narratives.

“The way up is the way down”: Curzio Malaparte’s “Il Cristo Proibito” and Krzysztof Kieślowski’s “Three Colours: Red”

Author(s): Paul Coates / Language(s): English / Issue: 33/2018

The statement ‘the way up is the way down’ may imply that the spiritual way to perfection lies through humility. It may however also apply to the physical world that is the source of such spiritual metaphors, and within which the actions play out of fictional characters who themselves serve as metaphors for real ones. I will argue that both meanings apply to both of these films, with a comparison between the two films enabling one to employ Malaparte’s explicit prohibition of a Christ-like position to make apparent a similar prohibition that is only implicit in Kieślowski’s film. Such physical movements provide an appropriate topography for the concern with judgment, knowledge, revenge, isolation and humiliation embodied in the male protagonists of the two films. In each case, the protagonists’ eventual divestment from programmes of judgment and revenge may be related to the prohibition Malaparte formulates explicitly: that upon human re-enactment of the Christ-like position that is the one of judgment.

“Unmapping” The Ural Playscapes: An Analysis Of Playgrounds And Child Play Under The Post-soviet Urban Transition Of Yekaterinburg, Russia

Author(s): Aireen Grace Andal / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

This study examines playgrounds as lenses on urban transitions to explain the link between urban transformations and changes in the discourse of play and childhood. Specifically, it compares Soviet public playgrounds and post-Soviet privatized playscapes in the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia, through primary observation and secondary data analysis. Using the framework of social reproduction developed by Cindy Katz and Saskia Sassen to explain how the local forces affect cities, my analysis shows that the shift in the discourse of play and childhood in the post-Soviet period is hinged on global influences combined with local transformations, from the abandonment of Soviet ideals of communal play spaces to the embracement of today’s consumerist play places. Whereas the old Soviet playgrounds have uncertain purposes, in contemporary Yekaterinburg private playgrounds offer a narrative of play in terms of leisure, love, and convenience for parents. Children turn into consumers of private play, leaving most of the Soviet playgrounds as idle spaces in the city. This article argues that Yekaterinburg’s shift toward participating in the globalized economy combined with its transition from the Soviet ideals maintains social relations and reproduces social inequalities in childhood, as this condition favors consumerist narratives of play. I conclude that the playgrounds in Yekaterinburg are bystanders of new global ecologies whereby social, political, and economic transformations become an impetus to reproduce new ways of seeing the social importance and meaning of play and playgrounds.

“Who Would Be a Prophet”: Prophetic Aspects of Czesław Miłosz’s Poetry

Author(s): Anna Szczepan-Wojnarska / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2018

This paper examines prophetic aspects and perspectives of poetry written by Czesław Miłosz – Polish poet of 20th century, a Nobel Prize winner. Although the poet denies readiness to become a religious figure, he serves as a prophet when he overcomes the inexpressibility of the indefinable features of religious experience. The paper presents an analysis of selected poems questioning the role of a poet and a poem in the light of the dynamic relation between the prophet and prophecy. Miłosz refuses to be God’s spokesmen but the historical context he lives in overshadows his poems and forces them to play a significant role in a broad context.

“ЗАПАДНИ БАЛКАН” – ПОЛИТИЧКИ КОНТЕКСТ И МЕДИЈСКА УПОТРЕБА

Author(s): Predrag Svilar / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 4/2010

By accessing the content analysis of media archives, available both on the Internet presentations of the most significant and most influential media, press agencies, web search engines, and official public institutions, international government and non-government organizations, we will make an attempt to point to political conditioning, appearances and uses, as well as political etymology of the term Western Balkans. The attention will also be called to the fact that the term has its origin in Anglo-Saxon political and historiographical tradition, through the examples of its use, as well as to the similarities of political relations which bring to its applicability. By analyzing the content of media inscriptions, reports, documents, official announcements, authorial reviews and analyses, it came to a conclusion that Western Balkans occurs as a regional reference in particular historical and political circumstances and that geographical frames it is being used within, could be located outside the time frames and there are specified the particularities of its use.

„Czemu Cię nie ma na odległość ręki”. Listy – zdarzenia literackie Adama Ziemianina

Author(s): Dorota Wojda / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 30/2018

The article deals with Adam Ziemianin’s epistolary poetry (bringing both the subject of letters and imitating their formal qualities), which is discussed as a collection of literary events. Such an interpretation draws attention to the performativity of this writing, that is, its causative function, which results in the actualization of the text through the reader’s personal experience. Therefore, the interpretation here takes into account not only Ziemianin’s poems, but also their popularity as songs performed by the group Stare Dobre Małżeństwo. The most important conclusion presented in this paper focuses on the paradoxes of epistolary poetry: the evocation of both presence and absence, synchrony and asynchrony, combining private with public, as well as merging the literary dimension with real existence. Most of these paradoxes are motivated by the desire to rescue love and overcome death, as indicated by the symbolism of the letter and the well – serving as life-giving mediators.

„Człowiek w mocy Ducha Świętego”. Teologiczne założenia pneumatologicznej antropologii Nikosa Angelosa Nissiotisa

Author(s): Zygfryd Glaeser / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 18/2018

The presented study is a presentation of the basic assumptions of the pneumatological anthropology of one of the most outstanding Greek Orthodox theologians of the XX century, Nikos Angelos Nissiotis. His anthropology is christologically and pneumatologically oriented. Nissiotis proposes that the paradigm of interpreting the science of the creation of man should make the mystery of the incarnation. He is convinced, that looking at the activities of the Trinity through an incarnation prism, the problem of the beginning, being and destiny of man acquires a truly christocentric character. At the same time, he emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in realizing the saving mission of Christ. He points out that the highest goal of man’s transformation is to be with Christ. Deification in its essence is a process of christification, which means being with Christ and being carried by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes, that man must be defined in relation to his fulfilment which he achieves in Christ and in relation to the Holy Spirit.

„Dobra śmierć” na tle regulacji prawnych w Polsce

Author(s): Anna Ewa Chodorowska,Joanna Grabowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 42/2018

The “right to life” of every human being, understood as independent of the will of the legislator, natural law, does not find in the current legal system a contrario, the “right to die”. In Polish law, not all forms of euthanasia are punishable. First of all, euthanasia is forbidden, i.e. killing a second person under the influence of compassion caused by a severe and incurable disease and related suffering, after the thought of art. 150 of the Act of 6 June 1997, the Penal Code. This is a privileged type of murder, i.e. threatened by a more lenient criminal sanction than an ‘ordinary’ murder. For the murder of euthanasia from 3 months to 5 years of imprisonment, however, there is the possibility of extraordinary mitigation of punishment, and even waiving its imposition.

„ISTORIJA 20. VEKA” 1983-1992 - ANALIZA SADRŽAJA

Author(s): Svetlana Popovic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2000

The journal "History of the 20th Century" has been published since 1983, containing the works of many Yugoslav and foreign historians, authors and thinkers from other fields of science. The journal presents original works of science, but also other forms of professional writings. The central subject matter the journal deals with is Yugoslav history from 1918 to the 90-ties. A few of the essays published have referred to general history and international relations. The works published from 1983 to 1992 primarily deal with the period from 1918 to 1953. In the first years of publication the journal mostly referred to themes regarding the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and its operation between the two world wars. Later this topic gave way to works dealing with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Works concerning World War Two are presented in every edition, particularly those dealing with the various aspects of the War of National Liberation and the revolution. Where topics concerning the period immediately following World War Two are concerned, most essays deal with the socialist period of Yugoslavia, especially the first ten years. The majority of the essays deal with political, diplomatic, and military history. A number of important historical subjects were never treated in the "History of the 20th Century", while others were first mentioned only seven or eight years after the beginning of the journal's publication. Ever since its first edition was published the "History of the 20th Century" has attracted the attention of the professional public, provoking interest, reactions, and discussion.

„KŁIR” I OBRAZ SŁABY W FILMIE HAIR MARKA PIWOWSKIEGO

Author(s): Justyna Jaworska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 32/2019

The text is an analysis of Marek Piwowski‟s documentary film Hair (1971). Full of comical failures, the report from an international hairdressing contest has become a pretext for the director to expose disrupted communication between the authorities and society. The ironic tone and the use of the “week image” allowed him to queer sabotage of the official message. The author uses a polonised term “kłir” to distinguish the style of Piwowski from the camp aesthetics and to fix the document not only in the paradigm of “art of failure”, but also in the social context of PRL.

„Lubmy swoje”, czyli o skrzydlatych słowach wywodzących się z piosenek

Author(s): Agnieszka Rosinska-Mamej,Dorota Polowniak-Wawrzonek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 36(41)/2019

The present paper discusses winged words having a source in the lyrics of songs written by W. Młynarski and A. Osiecka. The article also contains examples of such units derived from the texts of other authors, including J. Przybora. The authors chose winged words having their source in the song, because this genre has a strong impact on the Polish language. There are recorded in Polish language, first of all, song titles, repetitive fragments, first of all parts of their choruses. Repeatability of the word relationship in the song favors its recording. In addition to the canonical forms of the analyzed word combinations, for example: W co się bawić; Róbmy swoje; Niech żyje bal! czy Jak dobrze mieć sąsiada, the authors also discuss their various modifications, for example: Lubmy swoje; Jak dobrze znać swojego sąsiada; Jak dobrze mieć tatę. In their considerations, the authors refer to the study of winged words conducted by A. M. Lewicki, W. Chlebda, J. Tarsa and J. Ignatowicz-Skowrońska.

„Maria Magdalena powiedziała do niego po hebrajsku: «rabbuni»” (J 20,16). „Rabbuni” i inne aramejskie określenia odnoszące się do Boga/Chrystusa w greckim tekście Nowego Testamentu

Author(s): Piotr Ostanski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Everyone who studies the New Testament Bible must take into account its Aramaic background that results from several factors: – the Aramaic language was very popular in Roman Palestine during the first century A.D.; – the Aramaic was Jesus’ mother tongue; – Jesus’ teaching was being recorded in Aramaic and then it circulated among the people; – the oldest Church consisted of Aramaic speaking communities.

„No bo tym się żyło”. Podział gminy Dobrzeń Wielki w narracjach jej mieszkańców

Author(s): Monika Baer / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2018

In this paper I analyze the dynamics of narratives related to a planned takeover of a couple of villages of the Dobrzeń Wielki commune together with the Opole Power Station by the city of Opole (PL). In this context I focus on politics and ethics of emotions, feelings and affects which marked the discursive space and brought varied types of affective togetherness in the field of “political.” Because discursive practices of commune’s inhabitants were shaped by anticipations of uncertain future, they evoked the “ethics of probability” and the “ethics of possibility.” While the former embodied fears connected to the planned division, the latter expressed hope for “good life.” They both inspired various forms of social protest. However, because concepts of “good life” usually relate to discernable ends and strategies, changing circumstances result in different politics and ethics of emotions, feelings and affects.
