Author(s): Marija Lucjuk / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 7/2019

In the article the problem of diglossia in the Christmas carol of Hutsuls based on theinteraction of Christian and heathen elements is discussed. The sources of the study arethe texts of the Christmas carol which were recorded in the village of Kryvorivnia (Verkhovynadistrict, Ivano-Frankivsk region). These texts are analyzed in a diachronic section:the phenomena of Christianization and dual-faith and their implementation in the Christmascarol tradition of Hutsuls are considered. Based on the content and formal analysis of thetext of the Christmas carol, the main motifs and images are singled out. It is emphasizedthat in these motifs and images of diglossia features are realized.The article outlines the main ideological principles, embodied in Christmas carols, andanalyzes the main thematic features of the calendar ritual folklore of a winter cycle. Thediff erentiation of terminology, content and formal features of church carols and carols wasalso conducted. Based on the results of the content analysis of the text content of thecarolytic tradition, its main functions are determined. The conclusions state that the modernChristmas carol tradition of Hutsuls reveals a syncretic completion, which combinesChristian and pagan elements, and diglossia features most often appear on the contentlevel. Descriptive and comparative methods, as well as elements of discourse analysis,were used for the study.

Strategie komunikacyjne kształtujące obraz socjalistów w polskim dyskursie religijnym(przełom XIX i XX wieku)

Author(s): Renata Bizior / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2021

The article discusses aspects linked to the creation, in specific discourses, of the image of Aliens, who are placed in opposition to those known as Our Own and belonging to a discursive community. The subject of the article are communication strategies used – from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century – in the Polish (Catholic) religious discourse, which served to build the image of the socialists. The article aims to examine the impact of the sender’s point of view on the communication strategies employed, determine the intention of their application, distinguish from the analysed texts the strategies that were used in profiling of the image of the socialists, as well as outline the characteristic features of these strategies. The subject of the research are selected Catholic sermons, published during the period under analysis and written by different priests. When analysing these strategies, the author employs research tools of linguistic pragmatics, axiolinguistics, discourse analysis and semantics. The discussion also covers the pragmatic and discursive dimension of the following strategies: axiologization, emotionalization, discreditation, enemization and demonization. The conclusions of the analysis indicate that the strategies used are subordinated to specific pragmatic objectives designed by the senders, such as the bolstering of the discursive community’s identity and its consolidation, among others. The image of a socialist and enemy constructed in the texts contributes to the strengthening of ideological and axiological aspects of community identity.

THE NATURE OF CHILDHOOD – THE HISTORICAL, CULTURAL AND BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE

Author(s): Ramona Simona Kiru / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2021

The child is seen as a smaller and less powerful version of an adult - more dependent, less knowledgeable, less competent, less socially adapted and less capable of emotional control. The weak point of this description is that it is based only on negative terms, drawing attention to children’s weaknesses, without mentioning the vast potential it has for its future development. With all these characteristics, adults have the task of providing support for the child’s difficulties and helping him to acquire everything he lacks and turn them into personal characteristics. It is quite difficult to define childhood without being subjective because one who tries to draw a characterization cannot define it without inevitably expressing something of himself. On a personal level, childhood is built: it is seen in the light of personal experiences and is interpreted so as to fit the vision that has been developed about the world. The constructed nature of childhood becomes even more evident when comparing conceptions of childhood that were prevalent in different historical periods or in different cultures. The way children are perceived varies depending on the many social, economic, political and religious influences that exist at that time and place. When trying to define a child, it cannot be given only in terms of inherent characteristics that necessarily constitute the ingredients from which children are built; it also depends on the nature of society, the beliefs and customs on which that child is raised.

Esotericism and the East: Introduction

Author(s): Birgit Menzel,Anita Stasulane,Ilze Kačāne / Language(s): English Issue: 15(44)/2022

The East-West dichotomy, around which research in philosophy, religious studies, literary theory, and cultural studies have rotated for centuries, is a construction that has divided the world into two parts: the West, meaning Europe, and America with their dominating Judeo-Christian tradition, and the East, which begins beyond the space of Judeo-Christian practices. The economic, social, and political reality of today's world provides evidence of the collapse or restructuring of this bipolar world. Current socio-political and cultural processes offer the opportunity to dispute nearly every major Eurocentric myth prevalent in mainstream economic history (Hobson 2004), and attempts to rescue the history of non-Western civilizations are continually increasing, emphasizing that the Orient came first and the Occident was a latecomer (Nederveen Pieterse 2006, 62). To overcome conventional Eurocentric approaches to history, but also due to the revolution in communication technologies, which has led to an almost instantaneous flow and exchange of information, many recent publications from the humanities and social sciences propose to take a global perspective on the human past (Conrad 2016). The constructed West-East dichotomy is currently being replaced by attempts at a new understanding of the complex structure of the world's cultural processes.

Czy pedagogika religii daje się sekularyzować O ortodoksjach, herezjach i religioznawczych perspektywach rozwoju subdyscypliny

Author(s): Monika Humeniuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2021

Reconstructing semantic and functional contexts of using categories of orthodoxy and heresy in selected sociological concepts allows to build and include their theoretical poten-tial in the field of general pedagogy and pedagogy of religion. The pedagogy of religion in Poland is usually reserved for pedagogical-theological thinking within the Christian tradition. This type of approach resonates strongly with the classical theories of religious studies situating itself in the current of the so-called revalorization of religion. It does not, however, seem to exhaust the spectrum of possibilities offered to the pedagogy of religion by contemporary critical religious studies, which no longer link the problems of religion so closely with the problems of theology. On the contrary, they detach the phenomenon of religion from theology, secularize it, which results in an extraordinary diversity of theories of religion, often linking them with such “non-religious” subjects as ecologies, ideologies, sports or urban movements. In this paper, starting from the presentation of selected findings from my own research on the categories of orthodoxy and heresy, I am outlining the thus--far underestimated theoretical potential of critical religious studies for teh development of pedagogy of religion in Poland.
