Stories - Genres (The Role of the Haphazard in Nadas' Parallel Stories)

Történetek – mûfajok (A véletlen szerepe a Párhuzamos történetek mûfaji narratívájában)

Author(s): Sándor Bazsányi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 3/2010

Peter Nadas' Parallel Stories (2005) is a radical subersion of modern novel form. Instead of a linear and story-oriented narrative, a kind of genre narrative is developing here gradually, changing in each chapter. The chapters of the novel can be read as a chain of parodies of various traditional literary forms, such as detective story, love story, prison novel etc. By this subersion or nearly total deconstruction of the genre, frutrating the expectations of the implicit reader, a new textual experienc is emerging: that of the chaos (as Nadas comes to call it). The chaotic and provocative structure of the novel may be transfigured into an ''anomalous beauty'' (to use the chapter title of Nadas' 1986 novel 'A Book of Memories'). This essay is an attempt to give a concise analysis of the ''chaos'' form.

Human Rights: Contribution to the Analysis of a Concept

Ljudska prava: prilog analizi jednoga pojma

Author(s): Werner Becker / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 03/2009

Keywords: human and fundamental rights; person; man; mankind; nation

Although our talk about human rights is part of the ethical awareness of contemporary politics, it still has not received adequate theoretical justification and foundation. Serious philosophical problems arose in the very beginning of the history of the “human rights” concept, with Locke’s liberal natural right and Kant’s reasonable right. According to the author, the difficulty stems from the concept of person, for in every liberal legal theory the person is perceived as bearer of human and fundamental rights. Meanwhile, the dominant constitutional theory of human and fundamental rights starts from the identical meanings of “person” as an individual, in its uniqueness, and of “man” as a general definition. It is, however, necessary to start from the fundamental difference between the two key concepts. While the “man” concept is defined universalistically, there is no universal concept for persons and no possibility of breaking them down into subcategories. While every individual, as instance of the concept, must be defined in the same way as everyone else, persons are defined individualistically; each person is a unique individual which can be neither duplicated nor multiplied. The author proposes a solution of the fundamental rights problem-matter within the framework of constitutional law. Personal rights are brought to existence as follows: organs of the state, in accordance with positive law, give to the individual the title of state-citizen as an individualistically unique legal person. Everyone receives it, in the same way, as a unique and irreplaceable person. In the normal conditions, the state has the obligation to make sure, via courts and the police, that everyone’s personal right is untouchable. On the basis of this logic, a demarcation line can be drawn between the personal fundamental rights and the collective rights of citizens (such as political rights, which the individual can practise only together with others). Only such an interpretation would provide our libertarian fundamental rights with a consistently secular character, with no concession to the internal attachment, in whichever way it may be concealed, to metaphysical or religious presuppositions.

A Brief Analysis of the Infinitive in Contemporary Romanian Language

Scurtă privire asupra infinitivului în limba română actuală

Author(s): Raluca Ariannna Vîlceanu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 51-52/2013

Keywords: Infinitive/Conjunctive; survey influence; language; current literary language

The Infinitive has represented from the very beginning and continues to represent even today an extremely debated issue not only in Romanian, but also in foreign language studies, due to the multiple aspects it has or employs. The usage of the Infinitive in Latin has been retained, one way or another, in most Romance languages. However, this does not happen to the same extent, regarding its frequency, in each of these languages. Thus, unlike Romance Western languages, where the syntactic usage of the Infinitive has been considerably enriched, Romanian has reduced the role of the Infinitive in its system, replacing it very often with the Conjunctive (sometimes even with the Gerund), a tendency that has brought Romanian closer to Balkan languages, such as Neo-Greek, Albanian, Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian, which, apparently, have influenced it in this way. There cannot be an equivalence or concordance between the Infinitive and the Conjunctive. The phenomenon of competition is a living phenomenon that has not been brought to a closure yet, which illustrates the complex relation between langue and parole and also sets the norm as an intermediate level between the two facets of language. In order to draw a picture of the situation of the Infinitive in the contemporary Romanian language, we have conducted a survey on papers of literature, philosophy, science, paremiology, administration and journalism. The conclusion we have reached is that in combination with the syntactic semi-auxiliary a putea, the predominance of the Infinitive is overwhelming in comparison with the occurrence of the Conjunctive in the same situations.

ESCHATOLOGY AND APOCALYPSE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

ESHATOLOGIE ŞI APOCALIPSĂ ÎN VECHIUL TESTAMENT

Author(s): Paula Bud / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: Old Testament; Eschatology; Apocalypse; Yom YHWH.

Eschatology and Apocalypse in the Old Testament. The paper proposes a brief overview of the Old Testament elements of eschatology and apocalyptic discourse, mainly focusing on the encounter of the two which gradually generated a new type of discourse, the apocalyptic eschatology. Within this type of discourse, the paper approaches the theme of Yom YHWH, the Day of the Lord, synthetically presenting the manner of understanding it, proper to each of the Old Testament prophets, and finally indicating some possible connections with the Shabbat.

Borders Identities: the "Poor Relatives" or the "Rich Inheritors" of the Tribe?

Les identités frontalières : les « parentes pauvres » ou les « riches héritières » de la tribu ?

Author(s): Monica Spiridon / Language(s): French / Issue: 1 (02)/2006

Keywords: border identities; peripheral cultural identity; European identities

Our essay is emphasizing how complex the border issue has been in Europe and most particularly in Eastern Europe over the last two centuries. The paradigmatic anxiety brought about by the obsessions of a peripheral cultural identity can be traced on several levels. It highlights the variable meanings of the notion of border and illustrates the ways in which many Eastern European communities locate borders, assign meaning to them and reassert their functions. In this type of cultural process key identifiers of selfhood and self worth are generated by narratives through which people on either side of the border construct their identities by manipulating a set of shared rhetoric. Collective perceptions of borders usually foster conflicting ideologies, rhetorical devices and topoi of the social imaginary. They generate literary programs and they also create symbolic topographies and sites of memory: Apart form this almost all descriptive terms involved in these processes usually convey value judgments. In recent decades, European cartography has become a privileged and flexible instrument of the impetuous offensives launched by all kind of emergent European identities, cultural, social, national, gender etc. Consequently a series of academic disciplines (cultural geography, anthropology, critical postcolonial theories, comparative studies) had provided strong arguments for their campaigns.

The Left and the Right at the Turn of the Millennium

A bal- és jobboldal az ezredfordulón

Author(s): Tamás Fricz / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 3-4/2002

The paper is in quest of an answer to the question whether the confrontation of the Left and Right is still capable of reflecting the significant transformations of the recent years and decades - with special regard to the terrorist attack against the United States on 11 September 2001. In order to find an answer to this question the author at first presents some initial theses, and subsequently he argues that certain ‘post-modern’ phenomena may bring about the decrease of the explanatory force of the pair of categories of Left and Right. In this respect the author stresses that the alternatives of systems are being pushed into the background, he emphasizes the process of globalisation, and the specific conflicts of the new East and Central European democracies that do not follow the logic of Left and Right. At the same time he states that the Left and Right constitute a ‘tenacious’ pair of categories, which would not disappear in the 21st century either, only its border areas of analysis would undergo changes. The author analyses separately the consequences of the terrorist attack on the United States on 11 September 2001, and in this context he lists eight such old and new problems that place the dimension of Left and Right into a new light. Finally, the author turns to Hungary and argues that the scheme of Left and Right has lost a great deal of its significance the primary causes of which are that the party system is markedly bipolar, the international economic sphere of mobility has become more limited, and there are contradictions deriving from the specific heritage and current role of the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP).

Decisionist Models of Politics

Decizionistički modeli politike

Author(s): Henning Ottmann / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 01/2010

Keywords: politics; decisionism; discourse; discussion; deliberation

It is with good reason that decisionism stresses the crucial importance of decisions in the political process. But it is necessary to evaluate critically its dramatic pretension (from Schmitt to Agamben), according to which the normality of life is juxtaposed with the pathos of the state of exception and crisis. This erases not only every distinction between normality and the state of exception, but even between democracy and dictatorship. The proper framework from which an explanation of decisionism and its dramatizing forms can be derived is the modern age as a whole. The birth of decisionism from the crisis of tradition and commonality can be observed already in the beginning of modernity: with Machiavelli and Hobbes. We find the peak of dramatisation in Schmitt’s decisionism, in the use of political theology for the dramatization of politics as drama of the subject which obtains his self-willed freedom through a secularist disempowerment of God. The other strand of political philosophy advocates the political priority of discussion and discourse, as opposed to the priority of decision. The author is interested in forms of discourse which revolve in a Habermasian or Rawlsian way around the concept of deliberative democracy. The theories of deliberative democracy are mostly characterized by the following postulates: demand for equality and inclusion, for non-coercion and communicativeness, oriented towards mutual understanding. The author points out that these demands reflect too great expectations, which cannot be fulfilled by discourse and discussion (expectations of consensus and rationality, underestimating of pre-discursive assumptions). In the final section, the author concludes that both decisionism and theory of discourse resulted from the modern-age loss of tradition and commonality. Decision and discussion could be perceived as feuding brothers, although they are doing their best to negate their kinship. A mediation of opposition is possible insofar as the feuding brothers recognize the fact that they are related. Unification at least protects them from the danger of irrationalism and excessive expectation of rationalism.

One China or Many Chinas? Between Integration and Disintegration-Some Sociological Reflections

One China or Many Chinas? Between Integration and Disintegration-Some Sociological Reflections

Author(s): Radosław Pyffel / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2009

Keywords: globalization in China; integration; disintegration; unequal development; income disparity

The author who for the first time found himself in China 10 years ago, as a fresh graduate of sociology describes the dynamic changes which, during that time took place in that country. This sociological account, is drawn on personal experiences and also on the famous sentences regarding the history of China “the empire, long divided, must unite, long united, must divide.” The question is, will China - whose economic and civilizational disparities were exposed in the last decade, and cultural differences between provinces, traditional and ever existing in that country, have overlapped – find a way of preventing its disintegration in several regions? The article shows that advantages of China’s globalization and opening to the world have been disposed irregularly, dividing the country into the rich East, the Interior supplying cheap manpower, and the West integrated with the rest of the country but largely inhabited by national minorities. Also the East of the country, a beneficiary more of globalization than transformation, is divided into four zones of development concentrated around North-East China, Bejing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, each of the four with a different adaptive strategy in the face of globalization and quite often competing for investments, markets and young talents. Nevertheless the author believes that China’s disintegration would be “irrational”, as its integrity is supported by the logic of globalization, in which a merger of a few organisms helps solve global problems and brings profits – even if they are spread irregularly – to all Chinese provinces and, what is most important, it gives China an international status of superpower, which realizes the interests of its thirty-one provinces at the international arena more effectively than any of those provinces could do on its own, without the support of the others.

Sprechen Sie Deutsch? German Language and Revitalization of Ethnic Identity of the Germans in Bačka

Sprechen Sie Deutsch? German Language and Revitalization of Ethnic Identity of the Germans in Bačka

Author(s): Aleksandar Krel / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2012

Keywords: German language; native idiom; ethnic identity; Germans in Vojvodina; Bačka

This paper analyzes the use of German langue in the public and private spheres of communication among members of three local associations of Germans in Bačka. Their efforts to preserve native idiom, after decades of "ethnic mimicry" of German community in Vojvodina, and under the hardship of asymmetrical bilingualism favoring Serbian and Hungarian languages, are directed not only to preserve German language, but they also play a significant role in the process of (re) construction of their ethnic identity. German language is given the utmost importance by the local leaders of the German association, as a key symbol of "Germanship" in this region. It is used as a tool for drawing and highlighting the symbolic boundaries of the local ethnic German community in Bačka. The tendency of German community members in Bačka to communicate in German language in private communication, and during their gatherings, plus the imperative of raising the level of competition in their native language idiom – have a function of drawing symbolic boundaries in relation to other ethnic communities in the region.

A European Union of, by and for the Citizens: How Can Europe Provide for better Participation of its Citizens?

A European Union of, by and for the Citizens: How Can Europe Provide for better Participation of its Citizens?

Author(s): Christian Joerges / Language(s): English / Issue: 16/2013

Since the adoption of the Maastricht Treaty two decades ago, we have witnessed intense debates on the future of democracy in Europe, mostly fuelled by the hope and expectation that we would sooner or later figure out how democratic processes could function in the European multi-level system, and how they should be institutionalised. Under the impact of the financial crisis however, the confidence in such perspectives has been shaken. Rather than institutionalizing ‘more democracy’, Europe’s crisis management system has established authoritarian modes of economic governance, executed by an administrative-governmental compound. Thus it remains all the more important to keep democratic aspirations alive and to search anew for firm constitutional grounds for implementing more democracy. At present, the prospects for such efforts are anything but encouraging.
