In the capital of Piedmont operates the most dynamic Polish Association — The Polish Hearth in Turin which origins date back to the war times. Describing the formation of the Polish Hearth in Turin, professor Krystyna Jaworska, at the beginning, points to the informal nature of that organization. However, over the years, the community in Turin became active in many areas which is confirmed by the documents kept in the archives of the association. At the same time, these documents are showing a forgotten but very important legacy of Polish war emigration in Italy.

La lecture du folklore dans la dramaturgie moderniste bulgare et dans le théâtre symboliste européen

Author(s): Dina Mantcheva / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2017

Bulgarian Modernist drama is discussed in the context of the two most representative traditions in European Symbolist theatre – the Francophone and the Slavonic (Russian and Polish) ones – to point out its aesthetic similarities and specific originality. The analysis focuses on the principles underlying the selection and structuring of the two types of folklore plots (fairy tales and legends), used on all stages where idealistic plays have been produced. The study charts out the similar interpretations of the popular basis and its structural importance in all modes of writings. However, the national and social connotations in Bulgarian theatre, inspired by its own cultural context, differ from the Francophone metaphysical forms and mark out its relationship with the Russian and Polish versions. Finally, Bulgarian plays strengthen the eclecticism, characteristic of the Slavonic stage, and make use of some vanguard trends (parody, ambiguity, buffoonery), which transgress certain aesthetical postulates and announce the further evolution of the European stage tradition.

Academic Interaction between Economists of Central and Eastern Europe and China (1978–1989)

Author(s): Bao Hongzheng / Language(s): English Issue: 3-4/2015

When starting economic reform in 1978, China had the socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe (SCCEE) as an alternative model. From 1978 to 1985 there were frequent contacts between Chinese economists and those with SCCEE background, who were introduced by Chinese economists of old generation (born in 1900s-1920s). The Chinese economists of middle generation (born in 1930s) led the criticism of the SCCEE economic reform in late 1980s, participated by their young assistants (born in 1940s-1950s). After 1989 China lost its interest in SCCEE economic reform, but the economists of middle and young generations who were familiar with SCCEE economic history became the principal consultants of policy-making in 1990s and even policy-makers in 2000s and 2010s. They were trained just in the studies of SCCEE economic theories and practice.

L’innovation pédagogique

Author(s): Jamal El Kafi / Language(s): French Issue: 3/2017

Le cœur de la mission d’un établissement d’enseignement est l’apprentissage. Cet article met l’accent sur la notion de pédagogie innovante. La pédagogie centrée sur l’enseignant, sur la base des cours et des manuels scolaires, a été supplantée par la pédagogie centrée sur l’apprenant, ce qui valorise l’apprentissage en raison de la participation active de cet apprenant. Les apprenants, quelque soit leurs âges, sont des «natifs du numérique». Beaucoup d’expériences d’apprentissage en vers les apprenants semblent hors de propos, presque surréalistes, parce que la pédagogie est d’une époque où un produit standardisé devait être réalisé à partir d’une entrée standardisée aussi (les apprenants). L’on doit absolument rompre avec cette pédagogie pour être en phase avec la société d’aujourd’hui et se soucier de quoi nos apprenants auront besoin pour faire carrière et vivre dans un 21e siècle en changement permanent. Presque tout laisse à prévoir une utilisation de plus en plus accrue de la technologie.

Философски търсения и сюрреалистични мотиви

Author(s): Svetlana Ananieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

The author presents leading trends and main directions in the development of Kazakh and world literature, revealed in collective monographs, whose authors are literary critics and critics of the most authoritative scientific centers in the world. According to them, new horizons, new artistic themes, literary forms and styles appear in prose. The real literary process overcomes the situation of schism in national literatures, including the foreign underground. Inconceivability as a concept, emigration as a creative strategy in the context of multilingualism leads to the formation of transcontinental literature, to the literature of the “European home”. Against the backdrop of the obvious strengthening of the position of modern literature, there are opinions and concerns about the fact that the diversity of literary development leads to its disappearance, to the blurring of borders.

The Norwegian Perspective on von Wright’s Theory of Environmental Hysteria

Author(s): Silviya Serafimova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

This paper analyzes the theory of provocative pessimism, as displayed by the Finnish philosopher Georg Henrik von Wright, which concerns, among many other issues, the justification of what he defines as environmental hysteria. By exploring the genealogy of the ‘tragic contradiction’ between knowledge and acting in von Wright’s sense, I outline how some of the problems regarding the negative consequences of sustainable development find their similar interpretation in the works of some of the most prominent Norwegian philosophers and environmental activists such as Hartvig Sætra, Arne Næss, Sigmund Kvaløy and Gunnar Skirbekk. Regarding the impact of sustainable development on environmental politics, some concerns about the need of improving quality of life, as represented by von Wright, Kvaløy and Skirbekk are explored. Last but not least, I investigate how von Wright, Sætra, Næss, Kvaløy and Skirbekk find the roots of (provocative) pessimism in the increasing challenges to our human condition

Как социално ангажираното кино се „превърна“ в арткино

Author(s): Hristo Simeonov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2017

The contemporary situation of mass cinema consumption and the development of popular film critic imposed a dilution of some of the classical concepts such as socially engaged cinema and art cinema. If a film tells a social story and is shot in a naturalistic way, with main characters that come from the poor stratum, featuring non-professional or infamous actors – there is a big chance for this film to be defined as “art cinema” or as a replica of the films of the Dardenne brothers, who are now among the most noticeable socially engaged directors. Pop culture characterizes each film, that hasn’t been created for commercial purpose, as an “art film”. This widespread distinction automatically splits the audience, according to its primal preferences and takes away its chance for a new and different experience. Both of the sides keep a distance from each other, but in the end the lost is for the films themselves, stuck into the frames of the vague “art film” concept – that’s how they are deprived from audience that wouldn’t identity with this concept.

Функции на философията в средното образование в България

Author(s): Dimitar Elchinov,Nikoleta Nikolova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2017

The article succinctly presents the functions of Philosophy in Bulgarian high school education. These functions include: 1) exercising of linguistic competencies and clarification of verbal behaviour as to help students construct and apply criteria for meaningful statements; 2) when Philosophy is practiced in a dialogical format it serves as a precondition for learning argumentation, justification, and gives one better ability to change their position on the basis of a rational inquiry; 3) аs a social discipline, Philosophy develops the communicative abilities of the students and serves as a unique cultural technique. The text follows the descriptions of these crucial functions and is partly based on direct observations on the current educational status quo in Bulgaria.

Обучение в междукултурно общуване и литература

Author(s): Mina Hubenova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2017

This paper attempts to put forward some problems of foreign language teaching in relation to cross-cultural communication. The introduction of cross-cultural issues in foreign language teaching is a logical consequence of the integrative tendencies which are getting more and more popular. The new circumstances require a different attitude towards the learners They should be viewed as subjects of their own culture on the one hand, and as representatives of the foreign culture through the language studied, on the other hand. The problem is discussed in terms of its cognitive, emotional and pragmatic dimensions. The acquisition of proper language communication is placed within the context of cross-cultural education.
