„Átmeneti” kategóriák erősödése az ifjúság vallásos önjellemzésekor

Author(s): Zsuzsanna Bögre / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 3/2017

My study is about changes of self-qualification of the religiosity of the youth. The situation ofthe youth changed in the 21st century and this drew with itself changes in the ways they see theworld. These changes influenced religiosity, too. I have analysed the meanings of the notionsused in creating categories of religious self-qualification. I have focused on the meaning ofthe expression of being “religious in my own way”. What do those using this category of selfqualificationexactly mean by that and what are other groups they compare themselves to then?I suspect the existence of a growing rate of transitional categories of self-qualification togetherwith a decline of more exact categories—even though the category of those “not religious” grew and became second biggest behind those of being “religious in my own way”. I hypothesizedthat the meanings of the notions used in religious self-qualification became blurred as thesecategories grew in quantity. To see more clearly, I used qualitative research and analysedthe meaning of these notions in more detail in the group of those who self-qualified as being“religious in my own way”. The results have shown that youth in transitional categories tendto see themselves as “seekers”. They explained that their aim is to find the meaning of life. Theysubordinate their quest and their self-qualification to this aim.

„Šeimos kazusas“, egalitarizmas ir žmogiškosios vertybės

Author(s): Saulius Kanišauskas / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 2/2012

The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania issued an Act which significantly extends the family notion and which is considered as an example of “family casus”. The concept “casus” is comprehended here in terms of Civil Law, i.e. as a precedent acquiring normative character. The paper focuses on the fact that the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania does not define the term family and it only relates it to a woman and man’s marriage which determines all family ties and psychological, economic and legal relations. This understanding of family concept is being argued by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania in attempt to appeal to single precedents of several Courts in different European countries and these precedents acquiring normative character. It is argued that the issued Act implies the liberty of family members without any commitment to the society rather than prioritising marriage which ensures family stability. Not discussing the legitimacy problem of the Act of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania, the paper raises two questions: a) On what philosophical premises are taken for adoption of the Act which significantly extended the interpretation of the family concept? b) What are the possible outcomes in the context of retaining family and nation’s identity? It is assumed that the family understanding interpretation by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania was determined by the ideology of new liberalism in which egalitarian ideas prevail. The source of this tendency can be traced back to the development and maturation of T. Hobbes conception of natural law and W.G. Hegel’s conception of history as an unfolding human freedom. Apparently, the new liberalism placed a high priority on the development of human freedom and emancipation; as a result, the progressive and requisite idea of human freedom development was transformed into the idea of exceptional freedom of marginal groups. On the one hand, it might endanger the identity of the family and the nation, on the other, if we confer the status of ontological value upon freedom, we distort the notion of value.

„Święta wojna” klasy średniej. „Industrialna kultura” kibicowania klubom piłki ręcznej wobec wolnorynkowej nostalgii

Author(s): Mateusz Grodecki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2016

The paper aims to explore the social phenomena of Polish handball fandom. The main hypothesis was that handball fandom provides middle-class supporters an opportunity to release the tensions of daily life, which can take the form of nostalgia. In order to verify this hypothesis an on-line survey was devised and conducted among a sample of 608 active handball fans in Poland. The survey was supplemented by observations at several matches. The fi ndings confirm that (a) handball fans are dominated by members of the middle class; (b) participating in active support during handball games helps them to cope with a variety of tensions and the challenges of working life and c) handball fans are experiencing nostalgia, especially nostalgia for ‘being part of a community’. However there is no direct link between nostalgia and motivations for attending handball matches.

„Útvesztő”

Az iskolából lemorzsolódó 15–19 évesek mindennapjai

Author(s): Judit Csoba,Nóra Barta,Lilla Hegyi,Katalin Harmati / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 3/2016

One of the most important challenges of today’s society is to fight early school dropout, and integrate the socially disadvantaged youth to the labour market. Research programs investigate the reasons, causes and solutions for the phenomena. Current statistics and analytical attempts, however, provide very few insights into the family ties, friend relations, financials, thoughts, goals and everyday life of the targeted youth. Our research aims to explore these areas through structured exploratory interviews with participants aged 15 to 19 who have already experienced or are in danger of early school dropout from a second chance provider secondary school.

„Základní kameny“ bretonského regionalismu. Jeho vznik a vývoj do roku 1914

Author(s): Martina Reiterová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2018

This study deals with the circumstances of the emergence and development of the regionalist movement in Brittany before 1914. It focuses on the ancient and recent causes of breton regionalism and tries to briefly characterize it. We devote the first part to the older history of Brittany from which the Breton regionalists adopted the main arguments for their movement. The second part of the study describes the processes in the 19th century that led directly to the foundation of Union régionaliste bretonne in 1898 considered to be the beginning of the Breton regionalist activities. The study provides an introduction to the topic and offers an explanation of the growth and later on the failure of the Breton regionalism. The study’s aim is to introduce this topic to the Czech scholars and to contribute to the study of nationalism and regionalism in the Czech historiography.

„Zastój” w procesie komputeryzacji kształcenia z perspektywy analizy transakcyjnej

Author(s): Zbigniew Łęski / Language(s): English,Polish Issue: 4/2017

Pomimo rosnącej obecności komputerów w procesie kształcenia ich zastosowanie w przeciętnej szkole wciąż znacząco odbiega od możliwości, jakie te urządzenia oferują. Autor przyczyn takiego stanu rzeczy upatruje w niedocenianiu przez badaczy problematyki relacyjnego charakteru człowiek–media, a także w istnieniu pewnego przekazywanego z pokolenia na pokolenie skryptu szkoły. Analiza transakcyjna jest tu propozycją koncepcji, która dzięki swej dostępności, przejrzystej terminologii oraz narzędziom może w znacznej mierze ułatwić przeprowadzenie badań uwzględniających powyższe problemy.; Despite an increasing presence of computers in the educational process, their use in an average school is still significantly different from the possibilities that these devices offer. The author sees the causes of such a situation in the fact that issues connected with the relationship between a person and a computer are underestimated by researchers, as well as in the existence of a certain school script, which is passed from generation to generation. Transactional analysis constitutes a concept which, due to its accessibility, clear terminology and tools, can greatly facilitate research that accounts for the problems mentioned above.

„Zbudowania” jako istotny element koncepcji wychowania Edmunda Bojanowskiego

Author(s): Iwona Szewczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: S/2017

The article deals with formation which in Edmund Bojanowski’s approach constitutes one of the structural elements of the process of education. A founder of orphanages, Bojanowski puts forward the conception of integrated education understood as a method of moral, spiritual and religious formation implemented in the process of shaping children’s attitudes with the use of stories, songs and rituals. The goal of this method is to form a child from within and to help them prepare for an independent, responsible and good life. The instructor or the teacher plays the most important role in the process of formation, as they set an example for children with their own lives, thus shaping children’s moral and religious attitudes. The natural connection between formation and poetry preconditions the choice of instruments of moral upbringing, including tales, songs and rituals.

„Ziarno prawdy” jako nieklasyczna narracja spiskowa

Author(s): Beata Koper,Jakub Misun / Language(s): Polish Issue: 02/2016

The article outlines possible links between three types of narrative: conspiracy, critical and crime narratives. The basic methodological assumption here is that questions need to be asked about how a narrative works rather than about what genre it represents. The essay’s thesis raises questions about the need to change our understanding of the role of conspiracy theories in reconstructing the causes and courses of events. The authors argue in support of conspiracy theory as a potential narrative, because they find nothing particular in its means of reasoning that would allow us to draw a distinct boundary between conspiracy theory and critical theory within the meaning proposed by Bruno Latour. A crime narrative – Zygmunt Miłoszewski’s novel Grain of Truth – is used as a tool to analyse the functioning of a conspiracy narrative in the detective story. Utilising the division into classical and non-classical conspiracy meta-narratives proposed by Franciszek Czech, the authors of the article ask questions about the limits of the detective’s rational conduct, and the sources of his hypotheses and means of argumentation.

„Zjednoczmy się, bracia!”. Uniwersalizm Ludwika Zamenhofa i jego źródła

Author(s): Agnieszka Jagodzińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1-2/2017

Ludwik Zamenhof (1859-1917) is known first and foremost as the creator of Esperanto – an artificial international language. Famous for his linguistic project, Zamenhof also attempted to create a new religious/national system that could be accepted by anyone, no matter their religion, ethnicity, or language. This system, first called Hillelism and later Homaranism, was Zamenhof’s original response to the so-called Jewish Question in late 19th- and early 20th-century Europe.

„Żółwik” i inne gesty. O fotografii ze Smoleńska

Author(s): Agata Sierbińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

On 10 April 2010 Donald Tusk and Vladimir Putin met on the site of the catastrophic crash of the Polish presidential plane. One of the photographs documenting this event appeared (three years later) on the cover of the “W Sieci” weekly. Its publication gave rise to an intense public debate concerning the gesture made by the Polish Prime Minister. The presented text is an analysis of the manner it functions in the social game taking place in the visual field; it is also an attempt at perceiving the stake of the exchange set into motion by this image.

„Zone Europa” – promocja kina europejskiego

Author(s): Małgorzata Wochowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2008

The article focuses on a television channel called Zone Europa as an interesting media and aesthetic phenomena. It poses some questions regarding Zone Europa: What is the educational value of the cinema? What is the main characteristic of European cinematography? What kind of tool is the cinema in creating common myths? Most of questions seen above are linked to the program policy of Zone Europa channel. The channel was introduced to the Eastern-European market; including Poland in 1999 under the name Wizja Le Cinema. Consequently, for three years from 2003 to 2006 it was called Europa Europa. Creators of this private television declared fulfilling an educational mission by enriching movie awareness to their viewers. As it was stated by them, the Zone Europa’s program policy is to correspond to the most demanding movie fans. The channel’s authors wrote a manifest which presents their own vision of cinema, and an aim of creating the channel. An aim which is not typical for a private station. The willingness of promoting “European film aesthetic” was underlined. The questions regarding the Zone Europa channel became a staring point for me to reflect upon European myths and culture, including the institutional approach. i.e. European cultural and audiovisual policy.

„Życie w ramach” wyznaczonych chorobą nowotworową – rola socjologii medycyny

Author(s): Beata Tobiasz-Adamczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2012

Following the development of the sociology of illness and observed changes in relation to used theoretical frameworks and paradigms, special attention has been paid to cancer due to psychosocial consequences of cancer diagnostics, medical treatment and “living with cancer”. Based on empirical experiences coming from performed sociomedical studies, the role of illness behaviors in cancer patients and subjective assessment of health-related quality of life by survivals have been presented in the increasing “society of remission”.

„Бесове“: психиатрия, антропология, метафизика

Author(s): Nina Ivanova Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The proposed text discusses the adequacy of the psychiatric interpretation of Dostoevsky’s works, and especially of his novel “The Devils”. The author analyses the views of the most popular literary critics insisting on the psychopathological characters as an expression of the inner life of Dostoevsky himself, as well as some Russian psychiatric texts on the same topic. The main idea of the article is that the pathology of Dostoevsky’s fictional characters is rooted in the spiritual – and not in the psychological – sphere and despite the close resemblance between some clinical cases and the behavior of these characters, the latter is due to the conception of the demonic mangodhood and its different incarnations.
