Tourism discourse, being an important sphere of the modern world, has become the object of numerous scientific studies, including linguistic ones. The studies of different languages reveal that lexical loanwords are particularly characteristic of the said domain as a specific means of discourse creation. The current article presents the first study on lexical loanwords in Lithuanian tourism discourse. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the loanwords in tourism discourse has been conducted in terms of their semantics, origin, integration into the language system and text, as well as the significance of loanwords as a means of tourism discourse creation is considered.

The village of Belostok is known as one of originally Polish villages in Siberia. As it is today, only one woman in the village (from the oldest generation) still speaks dialectal Polish, and another one remembers Polish prayers. This article attempts to reconstruct the original sociolinguistic situation in the village, including the use of Polish at home, at church and at school. It is based on published documents and interviews with the two villagers recorded in 2016–2017.

The informational age is marked by the Internet and the media as key factors, with complex mutual interactions. However, they are recognized to increasingly produce negative consequences, such as Problematic Internet Use (PIU) and its inadequate media portrayal. This study represents a comprehensive approach on the media portrayal of PIU via content analysis of national daily newspapers in eight countries from the Eurasian continent. The cross-sectional research included predefined intervals in 2014 and 2018. The search retrieved212 articles with balanced distribution for designated periods, and predominant publishing in the largest countries. The results revealed that the articles with neutral narratives and national scopes are the most frequent, while the coverage on youth risks (like cyberbullying and excessive social media use) is predominant. This study is a pioneer attempt to give multinational and multi-layered portrayal on the stories that grab the media attention, dictate public interest and guide health policies

The article presents theoretical and methodological constructions of the analytics of the phenomenon of identity, modernized socio-cultural determinants of the content of European identity, updated the logic of transformation from the national-ethnic, historical and cultural principles of the interpretation of identity to modern politically motivated conceptualizations. The specificity of the discursive procedures of European identity in contemporary philosophical inventions is explored. The globalization context (one’s Asian-European dimension) was discovered on the problem of identity clash at the perspectives of Chinese geopolitical strategies (One Belt, One Road Initiative). The results of World Values Survey were interpreted for substantiation of conclusions.

The starting theoretical basis of this study is Bourdieu's theory. The research covers the following areas of family life: distribution of family roles and authorities, marital and family conflicts, connection of families with the social environment, and satisfaction with family life. Two main goals of the research have been set to:- describe the functioning of Montenegrin families in the above five areas of everyday life;- to examine the connection between the functioning of Montenegrin families in the above five areas with class-layer affiliation A randomized stratified sample for this study consisted of 805 respondents from the Northern, Central, Southern regions and Podgorica. In the first instance, municipalities were elected, in the second polling stations, and in the third instance, respondents from each polling station. A special questionnaire was constructed for the purposes of this research. All respondents are classified into eight strata according to class - class affiliation: upper class, experts, small private individuals and self - employed, civil servants and technicians, skilled and skilled workers, skilled and skilled workers, farmers and members of the subclass. Due to the very weak response of medium-sized, and especially large entrepreneurs, these layers were not included in the research. The results of the research indicate that there have been significant changes in the everyday life of Montenegrin families, primarily in family decision-making. Women still do most of the family work. Changes in that area of everyday life are less than in family decision-making in which men are not always dominant. Moreover, the most important change in the daily life of families is in the sphere of decision-making, where female family members get significantly greater rights, and in the "lower" social strata, older female relatives of husbands, especially grandmothers, which is a kind of cultural anachronism, given the Montenegrin patriarchal heritage. Relationships in Montenegrin families are very conflicted and are conditioned by the loss of dominant positions of men in families. Conflicts over the acquisition and spending of funds, housing problems and parental disagreement in methods of raising children are particularly pronounced. It is especially important to emphasize that there are very significant class-layer differences in all these areas of everyday life of Montenegrin families, especially in the assessment of parental satisfaction with everyday life, which is in line with Bourdieu's theoretical heritage.

The authors analyze scientific-theoretical approaches and family practices on intergenerational relationships in the family, which inevitably involve considering the relationship between adult children and their elderly parents. The conflict of roles within the moral intergenerational solidarity of the members of the modern-day sandwich generation is also considered, and the moral responsibility of adult children towards older parents is critically considered. The paper aims to raise the critical question of whether multigenerational families in the 21st century fulfill the function of moral, emotional, social, physical or material support to their older members. Unlike family-parent relationships, which are justifiably important, mutual relationships and care for the quality of life of the elderly are a marginalized aspect of life at the family and social levels. In order to encourage adult children and younger generations to establish better relations with older family members, this paper also includes some practical possibilities for implementing contemporary scientific knowledge and research experiences in the field of pedagogical-andragogical aspects of strengthening positive intergenerational relationships. The role of a positive approach to family policies and education, regardless of age, is increasingly gaining importance at European and national levels, however, despite the bright examples, it sometimes remains largely at the declarative level. From whatever aspect we approach - historical, sociological, pedagogical, political, theological or any other aspect, traditional or modern – consideration of the family, one of the oldest social institutions, has remained a relevant topic and source of research. The social policy of European countries is also broadly focused on the basic unit of every society – family and "family issues"

This article explores the literary writing of ethnographers, a genre that has not yet been systematically researched in Polish sociocultural anthropology. The theoretical framework of the article is built on the concepts of reflexivity and auto-ethnography. Its main goal was to trace these issues in three texts of female Polish ethnographers in the first half of the twentieth century. These authors represent three different structural situations in the field: a European researcher in a colonial context (Maria Czaplicka), a member of the intelligentsia studying peasants (Kazimiera Zawistowicz-Adamska), and an amateur “native ethnographer” in her own community (Maria Pilchówna). One of the results of the analysis is inventing the concept of “emphatic hegemony” grasping the situation when an empathic and sympathetic observer can be also a dominant and patronizing writer, even if she is a woman. Another feature of the analyzed texts lies in their patriotic subtext.

The article aims to outline the role of literary periodicals in the social system of literature from a perspective of processes that take part in the accumulation of both cultural capital and social capital. In this sense, the paper is an attempt to incorporate a sociological perspective into the theory of literature in order to provide a more informed view on social and cultural processes that are mediated by literary periodicals of diversified kind. By referring to the notions of embodied and institutional cultural capital (Pierre Bourdieu) as well as social capital (Robert D. Putnam, Francis Fukuyama), the paper examines the dialectic of system reproduction and morphogenetic change in terms of processes that organize the functioning of literature conceived of a specific kind of social system.

New directions in the political organization of the world, at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, will highlight the social class of the bourgeois-capitalist clan under an already recognizable categorization - civil society. Direct criticism of such a society and its order will become the backbone of almost all literary forms of expression. A realistic account of all the negativities that will crystallize by illustrating family decadence: fornication, deceit, crime, will initiate the process of demystifying the social phenomenon of "harmonious and impeccable community", the basic unit of society, family. The need for absolute honesty and recognition of the truth about the real situation in which European society has found itself, will launch, in a spontaneous, new wave of artistic representation of reality, which will itself manifest itself in decadence.This paper will attempt to prove the importance of the artistic experience of the great changes that have taken place in the collision of centuries and the beginning of a turbulent time in which humanity will be found. Drama was chosen as a specific feature of the literary genre, which could explicitly present key events on the stage, thematically stay very current and in the modern age.The Glembay cycle of Miroslav Krleža was, therefore, modeled after the Nordic school of the 1990s and the avant-garde writers of that time, Henry Ibsen (family drama) and August Strindberg (dream drama), Nordics, who would launch their own conceptual forms not only in literature but also in a whole new projection of art, entirely new themes, concerning the relationship between society and family, their separation and the individual placed at the center of tragic events. In addition to the direct influence of the Nordic writers H. Ibsen and A. Strindberg, and the comparative determinants of M. Krleža's advantage over them, this paper seeks to show the influence of socio-political turmoil on the artistic creation of playwrights at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

At the dawn of a new millennium, there is growing hope that relationships between people will be increasingly inspired by the ideal of a truly universal brotherhood. Unless this ideal is shared, there will be no way to ensure a stable peace. There are many signs which suggest that this conviction is becoming more deeply rooted in people’s minds. The importance of fraternity is proclaimed in the great ‘charters’ of human rights; it is embodied in great international institutions, particularly the United Nations; and it is called for, as never before, by the process of globalization which is leading to a progressive unification of the economy, culture and society.

Na początku nowego tysiąclecia żywsza staje się nadzieja, że ludzie w swoich wzajemnych odniesieniach będą się w coraz większej mierze kierować ideałem prawdziwie powszechnego braterstwa. Jeśli ideał ten nie stanie się celem wspólnych dążeń, nie uda się ustanowić trwałego pokoju. Wiele jest oznak pozwalających sądzić, że to przekonanie zakorzenia się coraz głębiej w ludzkiej świadomości.

The presented analysis juxtaposes a half-peripheral, essentially dystopian masculinity depicted in a Polish fantasy universe (including over 30 volumes by Polish and Russian authors of both genders) and a projected (utopian?) masculinity at the heart of another universe, most of all addressed to girls. Visions of masculinity presented in both the universes are the bases of comparative analysis conducted in the article. The differences between the considered warriors are made conspicuous within a few spheres of their relations and actions, from their purity and body care, to their attitudes to women and erotic relationships they engage in. What concludes the article is the analysis of the protagonists’ and narrators reactions to non-heteronormative behaviours (trace amounts of which appear in the world of the Factory Zone [Polish: Fabryczna Zona] novels, yet feature opulently and overtly in Shadowhunters).

The article deals with the possibilities of early British punk perception, primarily as an outgrowth of popular culture. It is considered that it emerges under its auspices and that it follows its basic guidelines. However, punk appears as its criticism as well, especially of some popular culture genres that preceded punk. In that way, punk establishes as a form of musical subculture. In Yugoslavia, this genre of music appeared, following the lead of British role model, enriching it with classical and avant-garde artistic interventions. The author tries, based on the sketching of socio-cultural context in which punk rises, to understand and interpret the actual presence of politics and its position within the phenomenon of punk rock.

Most attempts to integrate “small,” or “minor,” or “third-world” literatures into a larger whole tend to be inadequate, deductive, and reductionist. Small literatures and their writers may crave recognition and attention, but they are not exactly helped if approached with a set of newly created stereotypes and dubious generalizations, which equate them with the geopolitical situation of their respective nations. This article focuses on Casanova’s The World Republic of Letters as an instance of this attitude towards small literatures. The article uses the example of Danilo Kiš, who figures prominently in Casanova’s book, and argues that his position within his native literary space and the place occupied by this space within world literature are misrepresented in The World Republic of Letters. This misrepresentation is not accidental: It necessarily follows from Casanova’s double mapping of this space, which is strongly influenced by geopolitical imagination and popular cultural geography. As long as the international literary space is imagined as overlapping with the space of great consecrating nations, comprising both their national as well as international writers, with the addition of international writers from the periphery “annexed” to them, the world literary map will only reproduce the (geo)political map of the world. The task of constructing a conceptual framework that will do justice to small or third-world literatures and their writers cannot be achieved so long as it is influenced by geopolitical imagination and popular cultural geography, and divides the world literature into the “first-world” and the rest.
