Редакция журнала ≪Россика≫ решила посвятить памяти Карела Крамаржа (1860- 1937) блок материалов настоящего сборника. Это решение мотивировано необходимостью справедливой оценки политического пути Крамаржа, которую он заслужил. Не вызывает сомнений тот факт, что он допускал и ошибки, просчеты. Однако необходимо подчеркнуть, что его политические шаги всегда были мотивированы бескорыстным чувством патриотизма.

Posthumanism and its core ideas have been spreading in different parts of the world and in various areas of human interest as a response to the multi-faceted problems human and more-than-human worlds are facing. While scholars such as Stacy Alaimo, Karen Barad, Rosi Bradoitti, Donna Haraway, Katherine Hayles, and Cary Wolfe led Posthumanism as a distinct literary and philosophical movement in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, it is rooted in postmodern thinking and its criticism of modernity and humanism, as seen in Ihab Hassan’s work. The human-centric subjectivity of modernity and its logocentricity found its climax in the Enlightenment, which paved the way for the Industrial Revolution in the following century. Through colonialism, modernity and its ideals have become global phenomena, as indigenous cultures have been subsumed under modernity’s principles, and some have gradually disappeared as a consequence. Those who have survived became exotic objects for the modern gaze.

This special issue of EJHR results from the proceedings of an exploratory workshop that took place in September 2013 at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies (NIAS) titled “Humorous Approaches to Art and Activism in Conflict”.1 While not all contributors to the workshop are part of this issue, and not all contributors to this issue were part of the workshop, the exploratory gathering of scholars, artists, and activists served as a point of departure for an ongoing research project, the initial findings of which are presented in this volume. Interestingly, none of the contributors would strictly classify themselves as “humour researchers”, and the disciplinary divergences between the essays certainly do not end there. Yet it seemed fitting to position these varying interpretations of humour in relation to art and activism, particularly in sites of conflict, in a journal dedicated to the study of a field that already boasts of several decades of research.

The digital revolution (M. Castells 1996; U. Beck 2000; S. Proulx 2014) and the « genderquake » (E. Macé, 2015 ; Froidevaux-Metterie, 2015) are the major paradigmatic changes marking the third millenium. The building of the digital identity as continuous self-production with its corollary- “the expressivist turn” ( “le tournant expressiviste” ) demands a new gendered discourse analysis from the double perspective of the disseminated or commented content, as well as of the nature of expression (the what and the how).It becomes essential to scrutinize how women (leaders or simple citizens) are positioning themselves, are using the new democratic participatory social media and contribute to the social change.

The editorial team welcomes you to the final issue of 2021. For this issue, convened by Minda Holm, one of New Perspectives’ Associate Editors, we have brought together a group of invited essays on the Internationalism of the New Right. As an object of analysis for political science and International Relations, the New Right refers to intellectual movements that have emerged since the 1980s, including Reaganite economic conservatives, theorists and philosophers like Alexandr Dugin and Alain de Benoist, and political movements that have swept to power across the globe, but with particular successes in Central and Eastern Europe. Globally these movement include actors as diverse as Bolsonaro in Brasil, Modi in India, and Putin in Russia, and in Central and Eastern Europe are exemplified by Fidesz in Hungary and Prawo I Sprawiedliwosc in Poland.

Over the past three decades, rivers have become a fascinating and popular subject of scholarly interest, not only in the field of environmental history, where river histories have developed into a distinct subgenre (Schönach 2017; Evenden 2018), but also in the emerging field of environmental humanities. In this scholarship, rivers have often been reconceptualized as socio-natural sites where human and non-human actors interact with the natural world, generating complex legacies, path dependencies, and feedback loops (Winiwarter and Schmid 2008). Furthermore, rivers have been described as hybrid “organic machines,” whose energy has been utilized by humans in many different ways, including the harvesting of both hydropower and salmon (White 1995).

In May 2021, the Andrei Sakharov Research Centre for Democratic Development at Vytautas Magnus University initiated a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the human rights activist, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Andrei Sakharov. The special issue of “Days and Deeds” is the final chord in a year-long celebration. Not only symbolic motives, but also the centenary and the desire to commemorate Sakharov’s importance led to the idea of the special issue, but also academic objectives: to revise the contemporary human rights discourse, looking for the link between learned phrases and the misunderstandings that continue to exist. Today’s life is permeated by media-created reality and comic characters, while the real heroes are quietly fading into oblivion. The recall of some of Sakharov’s activities and works, as well as the broader considerations of human rights in the region, becomes not only symbolic, but also very practical.

In the contemporary world, communication goes far beyond the well-known traditional written or spoken forms. For today’s digital users, these have become insufficient, as using them, they cannot express their thoughts fully. The youth that has developed its own language, has become more hermetic, but not because it rejects other generations. The reason is the inability of older generations to understand the new ways of communication. Seniors find it challenging to learn how to use new technologies and stay up to date with trends. Although young people are able to understand them, the older generation cannot keep up with the news and stays excluded. The lack of mutual understanding results in weaker bonds. Once again, it is possible to observe ICT as a contemporary key competence essential for an adequate, mutually comprehensible exchange of messages. The best way to connect two generations in this aspect is informal education, especially one focusing on intergenerational activities, which will not only reduce the exclusion of a social group such as seniors but will also let them to develop their critical thinking skills, which in the age of the Internet are crucial.
