‘TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT PERSECUTION’: THE PERCEPTION AND THE ASSESSMENT OF THE BOLSHEVIK PERSECUTION OF THE CHURCH BY THE ORTHODOX CLERGY, WHO SERVED IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY IN 1941-1944, AND BY MEMBERS OF CHRISTIAN SEMINAR IN THE 1970S

Author(s): Ivan Petrov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

This article concerns the assessment of the Bolshevik anti-religious policy in two key periods of the history of the Orthodox Church in Russia in the 20th century. The first period was the Nazi occupation, which in many ways lifted the self-censorship of the clergy and believers: the representatives of the clergy could openly and without embarrassment speak out about the Bolsheviks and their religious policies and give a moral assessment of the pre-war tragedy. The representatives of the episcopate and of the ordinary priesthood began to oppose Bolshevism, some due to their own career motives, some due to their convictions.

‘THAT’S MODERN LIFE FOR YOU’

Author(s): Pirjo Rautiainen,Virpi Oksman / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2003

The mobile communication of children and teenagers has spread rapidly. For their generation, mobile communication has become a fixed and stable part of life. Children and teenagers use mobile terminals differently to adults, and gender and age differences create different use. Mobile communication is often connected with cross-media surfing: e.g. Internet, e-mail and IRCchannels. The University of Tampere has studied the mobile communication of under 18-year-olds since 1997. The cultural research conducted is based on qualitative methods.

‘WHITE KERCHIEFS’ AGAINST ATHEISM

Author(s): Liudmila Artamoshkina / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

For 70 years the official religion of the Soviet power was atheism. How did it happen that not only was the existence of the Orthodox Church officially allowed but real faith was preserved outside official institutions as well as beyond the borders of state ideology? What were the ways of passing religious traditions from generation to generation? What were the main features of “people’s faith” phenomenon?

‘ПОРОЗНА’ ДРЖАВНОСТ VERSUS ТВРДЕ ГРАНИЦЕ: УТИЦАЈ ИСТОЧНО-ЕВРОПСКОГ ПРОШИРЕЊА ЕУ НА РУМУНИЈУ И ЈУГОСЛАВИЈУ

Author(s): Judy Batt / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-2/2002

Topic of the article is the apparent contradiction between the Central and East Europeans’ enthusiasm for ‘returning to Europe’ after 1989, and their equally powerful affirmation of ‘national self-determination’, has frequently been remarked by western commentators. In the first part of this paper, author sets out the ideas of some key CEE political thinkers who grappled with the problem of statehood in this peculiarly vulnerable part of Europe from 1848 through to the inter-war period of the last century. These ideas in author’s view are of more than historical interest, not only because the same basic issues confront the post-communist reconstruction of states in CEE, but also because of their wider potential relevance for thinking about contemporary European statehood within the EU context of deepening internal integration and expanded external responsibilities.

“2 hours priceless talk” – on the Friendship between Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf

Author(s): Mirosława Kubasiewicz / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2018

In spite of all the differences between Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf, their biographers and critics underline a strong affinity between the two writers. What brought Mansfield and Woolf together was their passion for writing, their desire to become professional writers and to find a new voice that could genuinely express their female experience. Having a partner to discuss and share ideas on new ways of writing was of immense importance to each of them and had direct creative consequences for their work. In the light of existing evidence it comes as a surprise that opinions of Woolf and Mansfield as bitter rivals, and of Woolf as Mansfield’s enemy, still persist. The aim of this essay, then, is to present their relationship, with all its vicissitudes, as a story of a professional friendship, drawing on the findings of the Woolf and Mansfield criticism and on my own reading of their letters and works.

“Annem İzin Vermese Bu Filmi Çekmeyecektim”: Foucault’nun İktidar Kavramı Üzerinden Ana Yurdu Filmi Okuması

Author(s): Velioğlu Metin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: Sp. Iss/2019

Examples of movies that depict the place of women in society in a realistic and a questioning manner are highly limited in both the world cinema in general, and the Turkish cinema in specific. However, an increasing trend has been observed in the recent history of Turkish cinema in terms of independent movies that treat the problems seen in the public order with a woman-oriented approach. Some of these works go beyond the examples from the past and scrutinize current problems regarding the gender norms in a realistic and questioning manner. Motherland (Ana Yurdu, Senem Tüzen, 2015) can be put forward as an example to the distinctive artworks in this regard as it liberates women with the alternative language it has developed in order for depicting this situation.

Author(s): Jānis Kudiņš / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Additionally, over the course of time, this artistic narrative can experience various changes due to the influence of external factors. This narrative can also consciously or unconsciously influence society’s view over a longer period.

“Big Brother” in a Post-communist Era. A Radiography of the Protection of Private Life in an European Romania

Author(s): Gabriela Zanfir / Language(s): English Issue: 35/2012

Reducing privacy to an insignifiant value is one of the main faults of totalitarian regimes. It is maybe their most frustrating feature for the inner comfort of the individual who is being surveilled. The suspicion that his or her every move could be reported any time, registered and afterwards kept in a file to be judged by the arbitrary mechanisms of such a regime annihilates the manifestations of free will in all of its facets – freedom of speech, economical freedom, freedom to socially interact. The feeling of being constantly surveilled creates psychological discomfort and produces mutations in behavioral decisions. Maybe it is the annihilation of free will of the individual which decisively contributed to the fall of totalitarian regimes in the late ‘80s, as the individual desired to regain his or her privacy, to freely develop his or her personality, to fully enjoy his or her inherent liberties.

“Definitely Jewish, explicitly Polish…” Narrative strategies of the founders of the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews

Author(s): Joanna CUKRAS-STELĄGOWSKA / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

This paper aims to establish a framework of discursive narratives about the idea of the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews. Most of these narrative strategies concern the implementation of this huge project, arrangement of exhibitions, topics presented and the importance of the museum for the community of Polish Jews and Poles. The qualitative analysis of the narratives is conducted based on the content of periodicals published by the Jewish community in Poland: „Midrasz. Pismo Żydowskie” and „Chidusz. Magazyn Żydowski”. The analysis involves 11 speeches given immediately after the ceremonial opening of the Museum in 2013 and later, primarily at anniversary celebrations.

“EDUS – EDUKACIJA ZA SVE” I DISKRIMINACIJA DJECE S POREMEĆAJIMA IZ AUTISTIČNOG SPEKTRA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI

Author(s): Nirvana Pištoljević,Sanela Lindsay / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Gotovo svaka druga osoba u BiH trpi socijalnu isključenost (Human Development Report on Social Exclusion in BiH, UNDP 2007). Među njima, u naročito teškom položaju visoke ili potpune ovisnosti o drugima, nalaze se djeca i odrasli sa poremećajima u razvoju. Iako evropska zemlja po mnogim kriterijima, Bosna i Hercegovina znatno zaostaje za naprednim zemljama kad je u pitanju ravnopravan tretman djece s posebnim potrebama i njihovih porodica u oblasti obrazovanja, zdravstvene i socijalne zaštite. Zbog prirode poremećaja iz autističnog spektra koji otežavaju ili potpuno onemogućavaju funkcionalnu komunikaciju s vanjskim svijetom, te slabe obaviještenosti ne samo generalne populacije već i stručnih lica, život porodica s djecom s ovakvim poremećajima dodatno je otežan.

“Fortress Europe” or “Open Door Policy” – attempts to solve the refugee and migration crisis in the European Union in 2011–2017

Author(s): Katarzyna Cymbranowicz / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

The paper analyses and evaluates the activities currently undertaken by the EU institutions and member states in the area of migration and asylum. Domestic and foreign scientific papers and press materials, reports of international organizations dealing with migration and refugees, and statistical data from the Eurostat, Frontex, and International Organization for Migration databases were used for the research. Has Europe in fact become besieged (by migrants), becoming “Fortress Europe”, or has the so-called “Open Door Policy” towards the refugees and migrants coming to Europe from the Middle East and North Africa succeeded? How did the EU institutions and member states react to the crisis?

“Fortune telling Is a Curse on Your Children”: Conversion, Fortune telling, and Beliefs in Magic among Roma Women in Estonia

Author(s): Eva-Liisa ROHT-YILMAZ / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Missionary work by Pentecostal Finnish Roma (Kaale) started among the Roma in Estonia during the 1980s. These mission activities, carried out by both Finns and local Roma, intensified over the next two decades and continue today. The article looks into a specific case of how converted (Pentecostal and Baptist) and non-converted (Russian Orthodox, Lutheran, Catholic) Roma women in Estonia conceptualise the practice of fortune telling. For this purpose, the role of fortune telling as a traditional Roma skill and occupation is discussed as a part of the conceptualisation, together with the possible efficacy of fortune telling and its relation to beliefs in magic that also shape the women’s attitudes towards it. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the article argues that although fortune telling is considered satanic by born-again believers and is therefore abandoned, its condemnation is not straightforward in less controlled narration situations, thus posing an extra challenge for Roma women in the conversion process.

“GREY ZONE“ OF BREAST LESIONS WITH FOCUS ON INFILTRATING EPITHELIOSIS OF BREAST

Author(s): Csaba Biró,Katarína Macháleková,Štefan Galbavý,Štefan Durdík,M. Sabol,D. Dyttert,Stanislava Biró Klocháňová,Karol Kajo / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

Introduction: Breast cancer forms a heterogeneous group of lesions with variable clinical and morphological presentation. Breast cancer includes lesions showing borderline morphological and clinical features. Such lesions occur in the grey zone between benign and malignant lesions and their behaviour cannot be predicted clearly. Morphological classification of these lesions is very demanding, often biased and leading to various diagnoses that trigger over- or under-treatment of patients. In order to understand these lesions, we use the progressively developing molecular biology, the results of which may or may not be manifested in the estimation of the clinical behaviour of these lesions. Current State of Things: Malignant breast cancer is manifested by a wide range of differentiation or phenotypic diversity that is based on engagement of various pathological molecular signalling pathways. There are lesions that are characterized with ambiguous histological picture and show malignant histomorphological changes, but have a significantly limited metastatic potential. Infiltrating Epitheliosis: Infiltrating epitheliosis (IE) is a rare complex sclerosing lesion (CSL) of the breast characterized by infiltrating ducts immersed in a scleroelastotic stroma.

“I ALWAYS FELT THE ODD ONE OUT”: WORK–LIFE BALANCE AMONG GRADUATE ROMANI WOMEN IN HUNGARY

Author(s): Judit Durst,Anna Fejős,Zsanna Nyírő / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

This paper analyses work orientations and family formation strategies among college-educated Romani women in Hungary. We demonstrate through our in-group and inter-group intersectional analysis of the life stories of 53 women, gathered by in-depth interviews, how preferences regarding work and family are constructed in this group. We argue that there is no such thing as ‘free choice’ for our women in their struggle to reach their desired work–life balance. One of the hidden costs of their upward mobility, apart from the identity conflicts of many of them, is their difficulties in partner selection. Our research has also demonstrated how life-story narratives can illuminate the complex interplay between gender, class and ethnicity in relation to the construction of individual preferences regarding (paid) work and family. We argue, on the basis of our findings, that social categories such as class and ethnicity are still “strong” social facts that can shape people’s lives and construct their preferences. Comparing our high-achieving Romani sample with a sample of non-Roma Hungarian women having the same educational level, we aim to challenge established perceptions and break stereotypes about the “traditional” Romani and “modern” Hungarian woman.

“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.

“NEZAKONITA” DJECA PRED ZAKONOM – DOKAZIVANJE OČINSTVA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI NA RAZMEĐU 19. I 20. STOLJEĆA

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.

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

Author(s): Süleyman Kıvanç 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.
