The characters in the work of Nicolás Gómez Dávila are modern man and the progressivist, who are possessed by the superficial spirit of inauthenticity among the topoi of mediocrity, technology as strongly related to the spiritual downfall resulting from a moral-intellectual dementia, literature seen through the eye of the superb connoisseur, language, art, the reactionary, who is a loner in the field of ideas, images and events, proletarians, bourgeois, revolutionaries, socialists and democrats, presented in the masquerade of liberal devastation of personal freedom, the believer and Catholic standing amidst the waves of modernity that advance upon Christianity.

Nelle ricerche che ho condotto in Polonia fra la fine degli anni Settanta e gli anni Ottanta, sulla storiografia polacca nel secondo dopoguerra, la documentazione di cui si poteva disporre era costituita dalle fonti accessibili e da quelle che lo studioso si doveva costruire.

I primi contatti tra Polonia e Italia risalgono al Medioevo, quando, all’indomani del “battesimo di Mieszko” (X sec.), dai principali centri del mondo romano-germanico giunsero nelle terre polacche i primi vescovi, monaci e propagatori delle nuove forme della cultura cristiano-latina.

“Gli influssi civilizzatori dell’Occidente non necessariamente dovevano avere, in via di principio, più valore che non le realizzazioni culturali realizzate sul suolo nativo. Non vi sono basi per formulare un simile assunto. Ma al tempo stesso, le possibilità che questo tipo di influssi potessero portare con sé elementi di progresso e modernità erano assai numerose […]” (p. 595)

Królestwo Boże z wcieleniem Boga już przyszło, ale jeszcze w pełni nie nastąpiło. Podobnie sam Bóg nie jest jeszcze Bogiem w pełni. Nie należy Go zatem oskarżać o zło. On ponosi porażkę, gdy każdy z ludzi doświadcza nieszczęścia, cierpienia i krzywdy. Ponosi porażkę w każdej chwili naszej rozpaczy i samotności.

This study makes use of hybridity identity theory and the dynamic perspective of identity negotiation as a framework for exploring how pan-Chinese immigrant descendants in Belgium culturally and ethno-nationally identify themselves, how they negotiate with various ethno-national identity labels, and how they perceive differences between their immigrant parents’ heritage culture and the culture of Belgian host society. Ethnographic and qualitative research methods were employed to collect data from 2017 to 2019 at Sun Yat-sen heritage school in Brussels. Based on 200 hours of participant observation and 30 interviews conducted with immigrant descendants, the results indicate that cultural differences could be observed in participants’ familial and social life, including education, parenting, and lifestyle. Moreover, three vital dimensions whereby pan-Chinese immigrant descendants negotiate, perform, and situate their cultural and ethnic identity are food practices, popular cultural consumptions, and friendships. Notably, few participants identify themselves as either Chinese or Belgian; the majority espouses a dual identity and tends to place their identity “in-between” the pan-Chinese and Belgian ethnic affiliations. This study further finds that the descendants of Taiwanese immigrants find it difficult to settle their cultural and ethnic identity as they frequently struggle to establish a sense of belonging, and are caught between three ethno-national labels: Taiwanese, ethnic Chinese (Huaren), and Belgian. The findings highlight the fluid, dynamic, context-specific, and multi-layered nature of the development and negotiation of cultural and ethnic identities in the immigrant context.

Debates held at gatherings to discuss the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina all too often involve abstract theoretical reflection, without taking into consideration the reasons the country is stuck in an impasse from which it can neither move ahead nor go back. Real understanding and an objective and informed view of contemporary reality in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be attained only by reference to the facts, which history has marked with its bloody seal. Bosnia and Herzegovina can be discussed only out of the depths of its experience, by sharing the horrors of its tragedy.

This essay considers aspects of how COVID-19 inflects debate about the trenchancy of the humanities. It does so through reference to Jacques Derrida’s ‘The University Without Condition’, which invokes the ‘New Humanities’. In counterpoint, reference is made also to Ali Smith’s Summer (2020), the last novel in the Seasonal Quartet, set in the real-time present. The essay proceeds through thirty discrete sections keyed to the style of a journal, offering commentary and inevitably interim reflection on the ‘X Humanities’ and their current plausibility, as well as on the representability and critique of the contemporaneous in fiction, theory and beyond.

Our Life in the Times of the Pandemic. A Few Words About the Project reports on the research activities of the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow after the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Then the Museum created the project under the name „Our Life in the times of the Pandemic” as an answer to the ques-tion of documenting a rapidly changing reality in the pandemic. As part of this initiative, an on-line questionnaire was created, consisting of 45 questions concerning, inter alia: rhythm of everyday life, work, studies, social life. There were also questions whether the perception of home and relationships with other people have changed during the pandemic, as well as questions about the images from the pandemic that will stay in your memory for a long time. The Museum gathered over 1500 responses and on that basis created so-called „Wycinki” — excerpts from the research. Some of them are presented in this article.

Restriktivne mjere koje su vlasti uvele u drugoj polovini marta kao odgovor na pandemiju nisam doživio kao kaznu. Mogućnost da se radi online iskoristio sam za česte boravke u Fojnici, banjskom mjestu pedesetak kilometara zapadno od Sarajeva. Probeharalo voće, šum vode u jazovima koji prolaze kroz bašče, proljetno zelenilo okolnog brdskog krajolika i sezona proljetnih vrtnih radova čine boravak u prirodi kao melem za dušu i tijelo. [...]

The author embarks upon a study concerning the way the contemporaries and successors of Andrei Șaguna have appreciated throughout the years his contributions to the advancement of the Romanian nation, to the moral and cultural affirmation in the nineteenth century context. In the mean time, he makes a presentation of the plastic art works – sculpture – which were dedicated to this brilliant precursor by sleeping partners and creators. Suggestions are made concerning the creation of new works to complete this patrimony within the next few years.

Posthumanism and its core ideas have been spreading in different parts of the world and in various areas of human interest as a response to the multi-faceted problems human and more-than-human worlds are facing. While scholars such as Stacy Alaimo, Karen Barad, Rosi Bradoitti, Donna Haraway, Katherine Hayles, and Cary Wolfe led Posthumanism as a distinct literary and philosophical movement in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, it is rooted in postmodern thinking and its criticism of modernity and humanism, as seen in Ihab Hassan’s work. The human-centric subjectivity of modernity and its logocentricity found its climax in the Enlightenment, which paved the way for the Industrial Revolution in the following century. Through colonialism, modernity and its ideals have become global phenomena, as indigenous cultures have been subsumed under modernity’s principles, and some have gradually disappeared as a consequence. Those who have survived became exotic objects for the modern gaze.
