Marginalization and the combination of political extremism with ethno-social conflicts can easily lead to extremism questioning rule of law and the basis of our liberal thinking parliamentary democracy. Hungary was facing many of these challenges after the political-economic transformation of 1989 and 1990. The risk of marginalization in a market economy is quite high and widening the gap among people is a still existing problem which will remain with us in the near future for sure. The last decade showed examples of dissatisfaction among certain social groups where extreme thoughts could be transformed into aggressive movements what we have experienced in Hungary following both a political crisis in 2006 and an economic depression in 2008.

Because of the increased health risk, psychosocial factors and their assessment methods are among the top research priorities for the health and safety at work. The purpose is to present a complex questionnaire with several sections (author’s work) for wide use by practitioners in the field of HSW. A questionnaire was developed to assess the psychosocial health risk at work, adapted and validated in many studies in different professional groups over the course of 20 years. The main modules are: independent factors – general load characteristics, psychosocial characteristics and stressors, and dependent outcomes (health complaints, job satisfaction) as well as suggestions for improvements to an employer. Illustrated are some research results and data processing by modules. The method has proven to be an economical and reliable tool to differentiate between different professions and jobs

Our contribution aims at highlighting the main issues of metaphorical neology, as well as the semantic and discursive dynamics that occur in the use of technical terminologies stemming from a shared conceptual metaphor. Most notably, through the analysis of a terminological corpus, we will analyse the evolution of these conceptual metaphors and the underlying ideologies in the translation process from English to French in a highly metaphorical domain, such as financial language, in relation to the language policies of the DGLFLF.

La mise en perspective des écrits d'Althusser et de la récente biographie par Y. Moulier-Boutang interroge les rapports complexes, voire contradictoires, de l'homme et de son inscription dans la psychanalyse, la politique, et la sexualité. On y repère la structure du fantasme, lié à la nature de sa psychose, qui fait effet dans ses engagements toujours marqués d'une position d'antagonisme et d'isolement

I will try to address here several questions about issues such as pleasure, (the) good, reality, and (feminine) jouissance, guided in that endeavor by the psychoanalytical discourse and practice. If the main purpose of human life, as Freud argues, is the search for some sort of happiness, clinical experience shows that for any particular individual, the question of the good and that of pleasure are quite distinct. « … The pleasure principle … is nothing else than the dominance of the signifier », writes J. Lacan. Jouissance is that supplement to pleasure which is also transgressive of it. The best description for what jouissance is can be called the void, the chaos which render pleasure and the signifier inconsistent and incomplete. There are several types of jouissance, most of them called phallic. The Other jouissance or feminine jouissance, “not-all phallic” (Lacan), is related to that void. It is synonymous to a particular ethics of the void, a “chaosmotic” ethics (in Joyce’s term), distinct from a “cosmic” ethics which would be that of pleasure and of the signifier

In this paper I would like to develop the idea that there is a very clear distinction to be made between hysteria, on the one hand, and what psychoanalysis calls the feminine position, on the other hand. It is to the logic of the not whole that this feminine position corresponds, a logic that the hysteric subject contests at his/her turn. In this regard, hysteria is more close to a position attributed to men. What remains to be shown, in what follows, is what position the woman is in. If she does not exist, as the title of my paper suggests, then where is she?

In establishing the guidelines for an ethical existence, Spinoza offers a theory of the eternity of the mind and differentiates between an intellectual order and the order of the imagination. The analysis and understanding of these notions involves two different approaches regarding the notion of mind and that of existence. A further analysis of the mind’s eternity, together with several key notions of Spinoza’s philosophy as they appear in various contexts - conatus, infinity, essence, the nature of knowledge – leads to a specific contour of this particular philosopher’s view on the notion of consciousness
