Generationsbewußtsein und Moderne

Author(s): Shmuel N. Eisenstadt / Language(s): German Issue: 11/1996

Was besagt heute die Rede von Generationen, Generationsbewußtsein und Generationskonflikt? Welche Bedeutung hat sie zum Beispiel in Bezug auf die Generation von 1989? Zweifellos können sich Gruppen, die das Erlebnis eines wichtigen oder dramatischen Ereignisses teilen, als eine Generation definieren. Doch ist eine solches Verständnis von Generationserfahrung bzw. Generationsbewußtsein wohl zu unterscheiden von jenem, über das etwa Karl Mannheim, Ortega y Gasset und viele andere moderne Denker geschrieben haben. Anders als bei ihnen wird das Generationsbewußtsein, das ursprünglich in der Familie verankert ist, hier in den öffentlichen Bereich in die Politik oder in die Kultur - hinausgetragen und zu einem starken sozialen, politischen oder kulturellen Protestpotential.

Auf dem Weg ins utopielose Jahrhundert

Author(s): Cornelia Klinger / Language(s): German Issue: 19/1999

Es soll hier nicht von der Zukunft die Rede sein und keine Voraussage gemacht werden, ob und welche Art von Utopien im Verlauf des 21. Jahrhunderts entstehen könnten. Und obwohl der Titel es nahelegt, soll erst recht nicht behauptet werden, dass in den vor uns liegenden hundert Jahren keinerlei utopische Ideen entwickelt werden könnten. Das wäre vermessen.

Die Orange Revolution

Author(s): Timothy Garton Ash,Timothy Snyder / Language(s): German Issue: 29/2005

Im vergangenen Herbst prägte sich die Ukraine zum ersten Mal in ihrer Geschichte im politischen Bewusstsein der Weltöffentlichkeit ein. In einer Volksbewegung, die als »Orange Revolution« bekannt wurde, versammelten sich auf dem Unabhängigkeitsplatz in Kiew bei frostigen Temperaturen große Menschenmassen, die orangefarbene Schals trugen, und forderten eine faire Präsidentschaftswahl. Sie haben gesiegt. Unter ihrem neuen Präsidenten Viktor Juschtschenko kann die Ukraine Kurs auf die von ihm und seinen Mitstreitern erhoffte funktionierende Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft auf rechtsstaatlicher Basis und auf eine Mitgliedschaft in der Europäischen Union nehmen.

Geopolitika Latin-Amerikában

Author(s): István Szilágyi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2013

Geopolitics as a multidisciplinary branch of social science and as a theory of foreign policy appeared on the Latin-American continent in the second half of the 1920s. The main features they include are the next: aggressive approach to the space, the continental adaption of the organic state-theory elaborated by Ratzel and Kjellen, moreover, the developed geopolitical theory was thought to be converted into practice via the growing role of the army. The armed forces and their various institutions became the scientific centre of elaborating the new attitude to the international relations as a theory. When the army assumed the political power, however, it was given an opportunity to put these theories into practice. On the Latin-American continent the geopolitical schools with important theoretical background were established in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. In this study we introduce the Brazilian geopolitical theory and practice elaborated in the Supreme Military Academy and the Chilean geopolitical theory and practice established by generals Ramon Cañas Montalva and Augusto Pinochet.

Author(s): Alina-Costina Luca,Mirabela Subotnicu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2014

The last decades there has been characterizes by a worrying rise in obesity among both adults and in children's services. Obesity is considered disease XXI century. Obesity includes a medical field which accumulates a major issue and objective public health in developed countries, a vital prognosis health problem in medical practice and, not least, an aesthetic problem, psychosocial implications. The word comes from the Latin obese, "obesus" = fat, corpulent.

Subsequently, the Indian surgeon Sushruta (VI century BC) noted connection between obesity and heart disease.

DAEŞ, Suriye ve Türkiye

Author(s): Halis Ayhan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 34/2017

DAESH is an enigma. It is still controversial by whom DAESH was founded. While it is clear to whom it is serving and to whom it is not, it is not so evident under whose control DAESH is. However, the thing that it is a terror organization is not controversial. As it can be understood from its name, it has taken the control of a substantial part of Iraq and Syria in a short time. There is not a consensus over its name, though. Turkey insistently calls it as DAEŞ. Turkey is also opposed to DAESH like other states, for it has been exposed to DAESH’s various attacks. When these attacks intensified in 2016, Turkey entered to Syria in order to establish a safe region (Euphrates Shield Operation). The termination of DAESH that has expanded its territory artificially in a short time seems absolute.

Myślenie jako ciągle superważny proces w świecie technokracji

Author(s): Janusz Miąso / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

Human thinking is one of the most important and most creative processes which has elevated us to the top of living creatures hierarchy and has let us achieve incredible cultural and civilization development. Today in the world of technocracy when more and more activities are taken over by technology – trying to create many trends automatically, which in some aspects makes our lives easier, but at the same time it raises more and more questions and doubts about weakening of many processes that take place in the human. Our memory is a subject of concern as a lot of information eg. telephone numbers are no more required to be memorized, which is a big advantage, but at the same time we do not train our memory and, unfortunately, it is deteriorating. The same thing happens to our thinking. Sometimes it is replaced with a device, eg. GPS is very helpful when we are in a place we do not know but we stop thinking, analyzing situations quickly, synthesizing, predicting difficulties, dangers and looking for solutions. How far have we gone in these thinking transformations? It is hard to say. However, I would like to encourage you not to resign from this autonomic creative effort of thinking which still remains very necessary for the human even in the world of technocracy.

Obraz kondycji współczesnego człowieka i społeczeństwa w nowej generacji seriali telewizyjnych

Author(s): Krzysztof Arcimowicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXVIII/2016

This article offers an analysis of the following TV series: Six Feet Under, House M.D., Dexter, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Fargo, Better Call Saul. These 21st century productions are known as “new generation TV series”, “neo TV series” or “post soaps”. This genre, even though it has originated from older television forms, in most cases has now very little in common with them. For my research I used the discourse-historical approach in the critical discourse analysis. The main aim of the analysis was to describe discourse strategies which are most commonly used to present the condition of a contemporary man and society. The analysis led to several conclusions. Discourse strategies which are most vivid in post soaps concern ethical relativism. Their creators engage in a play with the audience – by showing the dilemmas of their (anti-)heroes they force the viewers to reflect on their moral choices. Post soaps show men with their vices and stress how fragile is their mental structure. Unlike traditional TV series which were axiologically “safe”, post soaps could be described as “wishy-washy” or “unsafe” in this respect. The picture of human condition drawn in post soaps is full of pessimism and even though it is only partially true, it resembles postmodern reality much more than the one presented in traditional television series. As far as producers and broadcasters are concerned, still the most important criteria that allow to evaluate the success of a production are audience ratings and economic balance. New generation television series, however, prove that this genre does not have to be cliched, unambitious, full of banal didacticism or to avoid sensitive social issues to earn the recognition in the eyes of both ordinary viewers and experts.
