Varia – kontynuacje – antycypacje: Postsekularyzm jako sposób reanimacji lektury postkolonialnej? O granicach i paradoksach secular criticism

Author(s): Alina Mitek-Dziemba / Language(s): Polish Issue: 37/2018

Even though it is difficult to imagine a phenomenon more closely intertwined with the processes of colonization and decolonization than secularism, there are scant references to it in the postcolonial writing and accompanying critical theory. The critics’ reticence seems hardly justifiable considering the fact that secularization processes have been in the centre of the hottest political and ideological debate for more than a decade now, while their critical examination and evaluation appears inevitable due to the ongoing process of undermining the historical view of the religious vs secular divide by alternative ways of ordering the public space in non-Western societies, especially as the latter have also become, on the immigrants’ arrival and vocal presence, a powerful factor in the political game played out within Western countries. As the violent course of events after 9/11 has prompted most of the postcolonial critics to perceive Western democracy and secularism in the black-and-white mode by inscribing it in the Eurocentric and colonial framework, the secular-religious opposition has become one of the postcolonial studies’ fundamental dichotomies that it seeks to transgress and overcome, even though the attempt may well be in vain. Consequently, the term “postsecular,” despite all the subtlety with which it was introduced into the fields of philosophy, theology, sociology and literature, has come to indicate a posture of critical aversion to the secularist order as quintessential for the Western modernity and Enlightenment project and opting for the radical division between the public reason and the need for faith. The aim of the article is thus to examine the meanings ascribed to the terms such as “postsecularism” and “postsecular spirituality” in postcolonial theory, as well as to evaluate the attempts at their application to the field of literary studies.

Author(s): Mila Maneva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2015

The article describes the idea of “Ichirei shikon” – a concept specific to Japanese Shintoism, according to which the immaterial part of man consists of four souls united in one spirit.

Mimesis i anthropos albo o przymusie naśladownictwa. Dawkins – Tarde – Girard

Author(s): Dobrosława Wężowicz-Ziółkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2018

Memetics is one of contemporary, posthumanist theories of culture. It postulates that the fundamental mechanism of replicating non-genetic information is imitation (Dawkins) and thus social life and culture exist as a result of our minds’ susceptibility to the units of imitation, known as memes. This article presents a critical synthesis of the stance memeticians take on human mimetism, and through exploration of other concepts (philosophical, sociological, anthropological, psychological and neurobiological) reinforces memetics’ basic premise that human beings are mimetic animals.

The analysis of the prayer contained in the Hebrew-Russian prayer book allows to describe the linguistic image of God and his people — Israel/Jews.

Изследователските методи в извънкласните дейности, или как едно изследване завладя едно училище

Author(s): Borislava Hadzhiyska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The gap between theory and practice has been recognized as a problem in the school education for a long time. Its gradual closure is possible exactly through the extracurricular activities. The picture of the not reading students in the “mass” Bulgarian schools is common and although it is a problematic topic, we have somehow accepted it as a norm and we have numbed our sensitivity towards the problem. And the argument is “We live in the age of technology.” What is more, we get annoyed every time when someone talks about the topic. The current paper aims to show how a student’s research on a few linguistic peculiarities of Tihonravov damascene was carried out, and what was the effect on the students in the high school through sharing of the results from the linguistic discoveries.

Христо Смирненски и Германската революция от 1918 – 1919

Author(s): Ventsislav Vezirov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2015

The actuality of the topic is related to changes in literature education in Bulgaria after 1989, which some defi ne as a reform, but they do not make difference between today’s type of education and the one that emerged at the end of the totalitarian era. The reason is that a there was not a detailed analysis of the historical characteristics of literature education in the country before 1944. It is therefore important to make a research of the proletarian topics in the works of Hristo Smirnenski and the image of the proletarian leader. The analysis of “Johann” can enrich the topic of the German Revolution in 1918-19.

Разрушената утопия на Христо Смирненски: пътят от „Червените ескадрони“ до „Приказка за стълбата“

Author(s): Hristina Teodosieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2015

The destruction of the utopian myth of an achievable new socialist order seems to have begun even before 1944, but this wreckage, which took more than four decades, is visible in Khristo Smirnenski’s poetry in just seven years. The road from “The Red Squadrons” to “The Tale of the Stairs” is lived in but a breath, and for it to be entered into the canons, almost half of it would have to be obliterated, forbidden, forgotten or misinterpreted. In the poems signed under Khristo Izmirliev’s other pseudonym – Wedball, we discover new horizons of his poetical capabilities. Thirteen of his poems, published posthumously, outlined the fi nishing touches of his image in literature. At the end of his lifetime, taken down by tuberculosis, he doesn’t fall into despair. All he does is to portray, in the most perceivable way, the dismantling of an illusion.
