The article deals with the stylistic peculiarities of the translations made by R. Pevear and L. Volokhonsky, L. and A. Maud, J. Carmichael of the novel Anna Karenina by L. Tolstoy on the basis of pragmastylistics and comparative analysis. It tries to analyze the text of the novel using the lingo-stylistic characteristics in accordance with the national bias in the way of thinking and individual creative preferences of every translator taking an attempt to introduce a foreign picture of the world to his countrymen. It underlines the impact of Tolstoy’s complicated attitude towards the customs and traditions of the Russian Orthodox church and the specific relationship of the author of the novel with God and its manifestation in the description of the heroes’ characters. In stresses how vital it may turn out to preserve the author’s ideostyle - lexis and syntax (the word order, the choice of them and the length of the sentences) for the successful interpretation of the writer’s views and stance by the reader.

The study traces the emergenceand evolution of the “text analysis,” agenre of linguistic-literary research that no(postwar) history of Romanian linguistics orliterary criticism registers as such, althoughit led to a rich production of studies at thejuncture of the two domains. The investiga-tion assumes two basic goals: on the onehand, to explain the reasons why Romanianlinguistic research during communism devel-oped in dominantly analytical form and withmain focus upon fiction; on the other hand,to assess the relation of this trend with arch-ideas of the entire literary-critical field of theage (like “literary singularity,” “aestheticautonomy,” “the great writer” etc.).

More...Keywords: translation; cultural integration;self-translation; identity reconfiguration; languages-cultures; transgressive intentionality;
These two words which form the title of our paper imply one another in the sense that translation remains the only means of cultural integration, the only means to ensure communication between two apparently different systems of thinking, the only means to remake the scales of pre-established values which are classified into inferior and superior values and classified according to influences, consanguinity, interests, etc. Translation offers to every culture a double “citizenship” by its double opening status: discover et be discovered. Our paper deals with some Panait Istrati’s texts, a Romanian writer who translated his own work, in order to analyse how he translated his texts by recreating what he had already written in French.
More...Keywords: autobiography; Ethical Literary Criticism; ethical choice; rational will; natural will;
Autobiographies are traditionally understood as means of selfredemption or self-validation of the respective autobiographers, but they seem to have become tools of self-assertion in the recent times. The writers of this paper noticed that the underlying patterns in major autobiographies of the respective centuries such as those of Augustine, Rousseau, Virginia Woolf, Han Suyin and other male or female autobiographers commonly evolve around one’s ethical choices in response to the vices caused by one’s natural will and when facing ethical dilemmas caused by life challenges. This paper examines the abovementioned autobiographies via the Ethical Literary Criticism (ELC). Developed by Professor Nie Zhenzhao since 2004, ELC is one of the most insightful critiques in expounding the relationship of the self with oneself, self with others, and self with the divine or higher moral order in the context of the literary world.
More...Keywords: Catholic social teaching; human rights; hierarchy of human hights; criticism of human rights; human rightism; natural law; John Paul II
The paper deals with the concept of human rights in Catholic social teaching, especially regarding the trends of the so-called human rightism, viz. the ideological broadening and utilitarian relativizing of the concept of human rights in recent decades. It concludes that since the constant reference point of the Catholic moral perspective on human rights is still primarily the concept of natural law, it does not accept all the developmental trends in this sphere and consists in a certain fairly narrow understanding of human rights. The criticism of the inadequate progression and errors in the sphere of the further expansive development of human rights began especially in the era of the pontificate of John Paul II and is still being developed.

More...Keywords: Atheism; religion; critics; dialectics; materialism
A contemporary so-called „New Atheism” is one of the many ways the existence of God is denied. It is based on criticism directed against the followers of various religions. This criticism focuses on the object of religion to which the cult is directed. It is mainly about illuminating the natural or social foundation of religion. To annihilate religion, atheists postulate subjecting it to dialectical criticism developed by Karl Marx. This criticism of the concept of religion, although it will not make it disappear completely, will result in a post-religious synthesis which will appear in new forms of worship and spirituality.

More...Keywords: rhetorical theory;rhetoric criticism;evaluation standards;qualitative research methods;argumentation;critical thinking;
The field of the communication sciences is a hybrid field with various influences that can be observed in the research methods that are used: the quantitative-scientific and qualitative-interpretive methods. Rhetorical criticism as a qualitative research in the field of communication calls for its own evaluation standards. Our aim is to clarify, through a meta-analysis, the evaluation criteria proposed by different authors and the standards, after which an essay of the rhetorical criticism can be appreciated. We claim that a work of the rhetorical criticism is not just an exercise of creativity and originality, but rather a way of persuasive argumentation.
More...Keywords: Politics of recognition; redistribution; theory of justice; group identity;
This paper examines the scope of redistribution requirements that come from recognition policies. Politic of recognition, that is, difference policies, basically make redistributive claims based on recognition of the specific way of life of a particular social group. These are, above all, requests coming from the LGBT community, minority ethnic communities and women’s groups, and in earlier times from the labor movement. on the one hand, such a theoretical position offers a good basis for the practical political mobilization of members of a given group and historical examples of organizing on the basis of a common identity are arguments in favor of the politics of recognition. By strengthening a specific identity, a sense of solidarity within the group develops, which creates the preconditions for successful political action. On the other hand, there is the problem of defining the boundaries of the group and exclusion because they do not belong to the group, although persons may be in equally poor economic position, which is the basis of criticism from universalist positions. in addition to problematizing the limitations of redistribution requirements that come from recognition policies, the paper also examines the possibilities of co-operation of identically defined groups through different alternative models of democracy.
More...Keywords: Serbia; local economic development; economic policy; development strategy
The practice in developed countries has shown a necessity for local government’s stronger inclusion in local economic development issues. The economic system in Serbia has features of high unemployment rate and low living standard among the population, and therefore local government taking a larger part in local economic development issues is seen as a real possibility for reducing these problems. Although most of the economic policy instruments lie within the central government jurisdiction, which largely restricts local government possibilities, there is still an important area for local government influence on economic development. There are numerousobstacles for a successful application of the local economic development concept in Serbia, which causes the municipality and regional potentials to be used much less than the possibilities allow,and it has a negative reflection, especially in rural and undeveloped areas.
