This special section of Jezikoslovlje is the fortunate result of papers on multimodality (crossmodality) and embodiment presented at the Third International Symposium on Figurative Thought and Language (FTL3) on April 26–28, 2017 at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Osijek, Croatia. The objective of the three-day symposium was to further a forum that discusses the links between figurative thought and language. Two previous events had been held in Thessaloniki - Greece (2014) and Pavia - Italy (2015), one has since been held in Braga - Portugal (2018), and one other is currently planned in Sofia – Bulgaria (2020).

As a mode that evolved around our fears over technological development, science / fiction, understood in a broad sense of fictionalizing scientific narratives, has more recently turned towards biology as the science of the future. In parallel, life sciences have established their presence within the field of humanities, as both strive to tackle the burning political issues. Climate change, mass extinctions, biotechnological fallouts – these aspects of the Anthropocene feature in contemporary fiction, reflecting the global anxieties, but their trajectory could be traced back to modernist works (and further back). The sixth volume of Pulse, entitled “Alternate Realities of Life Sciences and Science Fiction,” brings together a number of texts exploring how possible realities alternate to the biopolitical ordering, are both constructed and deconstructed at the intersection of life sciences and science / fiction in different ways, in the modernist and contemporary periods. The texts are interventions across a range of perspectives: from continental philosophy, cultural studies, to eco-criticism, animal studies, and medical humanities.

In Volume 6 of the edition “Monumenta Srebrenica“ we talked about the phenomenon and meaning of the culture of remembering for the whole socio-historical existence of social groups, first and foremost, nations and states. In the last, Volume 7 of the edition “Monumenta Srebrenica“, we discussed only one, specific form of collective consciousness of Bosniaks, that has developed recently, and that is self-shame, and we can also call it self-hatred, auto-chauvinism and the like, but that form of consciousness is very similar to the inferiority complex, that essentially degrades one’s own and values other cultural, traditional, political, religious and other life values.

The article deals, using some illustrative details, with a perennial and major strategic goal of the decision-makers in Washington, D.C.: that of continuously maintaining and strongly consolidating freedom of navigation in different parts of the World Ocean. At this very moment, this major strategic goal is vividlyillustrated by the FONOPs (Freedom of Navigation Operations) in the South China Sea. But these current FONOPs are nothing else but a quite tiny chapter in a very long and astonishingly complex story, more than two centuries long, mixing some major political principles and an active search for accomplishing significant (and sometimes vital) elements of the U.S. national interest.

The demise of communist dictatorships in East Central Europe, the end of their Cold War border regimes, and the region’s “return to Europe” shook the sociogeographical notions predicating national identities and their place within the continent. At one extreme, the Schengen process turned some of the formerly most contested and zealously guarded borders into open spaces; at the other, some of the previously relatively permeable intra-USSR administrative lines became state borders of “Fortress Europe.” Parallel to and cutting across the genealogy of territorial borders and border politics, memories have formed of post-war/Cold War national seclusion and exclusion, cultural frontiers and cohabitations, and community separation and proximity.
