Art, sacred space and utopia
Authors: Cohen Richard A.
Published: January 2019

Monotheist religions oppose the idolatry which makes space sacred and the mythological world upon which all idolatry depends. Art, used by monotheisms and mythologies, is neutral in this opposition. The example of Judaism is invoked to show how two apparently “sacred spaces,” the ancient Temple in Jerusalem and the conjugal bed of the home, represent not sacralizations of places but displacements through the intensification of an ethical extra-territorial u-topos.
An attempt to understand the dialog in philosophy of M. Buber (in parallel with T. Sodeika’s interpretation)
Authors: Gutauskas Mintautas
Published: January 2019

There are radical and moderated trends in Buber’s thought and its interpretation. The aim of this article is to present moderated interpretation of the notion of dialog in Bubers philosophy. Such interpretation is treated as parallel to radical T. Sodeika’s interpretation. From the perspective of phenomenology, this article analyzes possibilities to distinguish communication and dialog, examines what role plays experience and encounter in the dialog, how I-Thou relationship establishes space and time of the dialog.
Nihilism of Tomas Sodeika
Authors: Šerpytytė Rita
Published: January 2019

The article deals with the thinking of the most famous and original Lithuanian philosopher’s – Tomas Sodeika. The question – what does this thinking conclude and which place in the landscape of Lithuanian philosophical thought it take up? – is being analysed. The article demonstrates, that reality “becomes” the main and unique “theme” of Tomas Sodeika textes. By interpreting these textes, the fundamental non-identitness and non-commonality between text (textual level) and reality and it’s nihilistic character as well, as the main insight of Sodeikas’ textes, is being disclosed.
Allegory as representation of the other
Authors: Vidauskytė Lina
Published: January 2019

This article deals with German philosopher’s Walter Benjamin philosophical concept of allegory. The concept of allegory is aplied as method in the main works of Benjamin. This method is concidered as a way of speaking about the Other. Allegory represents Baroque Trauerspiel (it is an autonomous genre rather than continuation of Anciet Tragedy) and have interruption between form and content, meaning and expression. Benjamin seaks the rehabilitation of allegory from its humiliation since Romanticism. Benjamin’s notion of language after the Fall is one of the most important issues for using allegory, or indirect speech. Allegory is nearly the one way of expression in such historical (not mythological) situation. Allegory’s fragmentation, its dialectics of convention and expression, its origin from mourning gaze, formal kinship to such contents as decay and death, its origin from “the Fall of language spirit” etc. are the main characteristics of such philosophical method.
Sacrum in the Age of its Mechanical Reproduction
Authors: Sodeika Tomas
Published: January 2019

In his essay “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” Walter Benjamin discusses a loss of the aura through the rise of photography and cinema. The notion of aura for Benjamin represents the originality and authenticity of a work of art that has not been reproduced. But at the same time it represents connection of the realm of art to the experience of the sacrum. The article deals with the correlation between the loss of aura and the desacralisation of the contemporary world.
Istorinis nihilizmas ir mokslinė fantastika naujausiuose rusų ir lietuvių neo-pagoniškuose / patriotiniuose judėjimuose
Authors: Pažėraitė Aušra Kristina
Published: January 2019

Studijoje analizuojami kai kurie alternatyvūs šių dienų religinių / nacionalinių / rasinių tapatybių konstravimo atvejai, bandant atskleisti šiuolaikinės alternatyvios religinės / tautinės / rasinės tapatybės konstravimo mechanizmą. Nustatyta, kad šis mechanizmas veikia per dvi ašis – 1) istorinį nihilizmą (kuris tyrime apibrėžiamas kaip nepasitikėjimas profesionalių istorikų konstruojama istorijos vizija, jos atmetimas) ir 2) fantastiką (pasireiškiančią kaip individuali ar kolektyvinė naujų mitų kūryba), kūrimą fantastinių istorijos vizijų, kurios pateikiamos kaip tikroji istorija, buvusi užmiršta, iškraipyta ir tebeiškraipoma. Konkrečiai buvo analizuojamas vis didesnį populiarumą tiek Rusijoje, tiek už jos ribų, taip pat ir Lietuvoje įgaunantis rodnoverų mokymas ir jo pagrindu kuriamas Sergejaus Strižako „publicistinis“ filmas „Dievų žaidimai“, analizei pasitelkti pagrindinių jų autoritetų – Aleksejaus Trechlebovo ir Aleksandro Chinevičiaus – tekstai ir videomokymai. Kitas analizuotas pavyzdys – žymaus Rusijos matematiko topologo Anatolijaus Fomenko istorinės fantastikos eksperimentai. Studijoje aptariamas ir vieno pagrindinių rodnoverų šaltinių – Veleso knygos – klastojimo klausimas. Siekta atrasti galimas šių rusiškų judėjimų įtakos zonas ir Lietuvoje, taip pat analogiškus bandymus perkonstruoti lietuviškąją tapatybę. Čia, be kol kas pavienių žavėjimosi Trechlebovo ir Chinevičiaus mokymais atvejų, Rusijoje kilusio judėjimo KOB (Концепция Общественной Безопасности) filialo, kuriame pastebima rodnoverų mokymų pėdsakų, analizuotas naujausias (siekiantis keletą metų, bet per pastaruosius porą metų dėl Aivaro Lileikos veiklos įgijęs pagreitį) judėjimas, pasivadinęs Sarmatija. Analizuojant šį judėjimą paaiškėjo esminis skirtumas tarp rodnoverų ir „sarmatų“: pastarieji, nors ir nemažai fantazuoja, ne atmeta istorijos mokslą, bet kritikuoja ir kelia nepasitenkinimą profesionalių istorikų darbais (arba abejingumu), reikalaudami imtis rimtų jų nurodomų šaltinių tyrinėjimų, kad būtų sugrąžinta istorinė atmintis ir lietuviškoji tapatybė, kuri, anot šio judėjimo atstovų, yra sąmoningai menkinama ir klastojama dabartinių „oficiozinių“ lietuvių tautinės tapatybės „ekspertų“.
Relativism and Hermeneutical Thinking
Authors: Ciancio Claudio
Published: January 2019

The traditional concept of truth as adequacy is too limited. It neglects both the reference to the whole and the possibility to think of truth not as the way the world is but as the way it must be. In the latter way truth is entangled with good. The paper seeks to show that this entanglement can be thought of only within an ontology of freedom. First of all it shows that good is the sense of being that is truth in its most radical meaning. Secondly it shows that sticking to truth and acknowledgement and rejection of error require a practice of freedom. In conclusion freedom shows itself as origin of truth and at the same time as condition of its acceptance or rejection.Is it possible in a relativistic society to propose again the question of truth in morality, right and, even before, in metaphysics? The paper wants to answer the question in two steps. First it is showed that moral and philosophical questions cannot be treated by an objectifying thought. Secondly it is showed that, despite of this, a different form of truth and universality is achievable. Objectivity defines only a particular and limited form of truth. As moral, religious and philosophical truth is non-exhaustible, it reveals itself only in interpretations. Every authentic interpretation says the truth without fulfilling it. Interpretation is not arbitrary and does not renounce the control of the reason and its dimension of universality. In this way hermeneutics gives better ground to the claims of tolerance and dialog than the one promoted by relativism. Furthermore it provides better answer to the claims of truth issued by objectivistic metaphysics and ethics.

On the Possibility of Non-representational Cinema. From André Bazin to Gilles Deleuze
Authors: Brašiškis Lukas
Published: January 2019

Referring to the ontological arguments shown in the theory of the French film critic and theorist André Bazin and the arguments elaborated by Gilles Deleuze in the fourth chapter of his book Cinema 1: Movement-Image, the possibility of the cinema that does not duplicate the reductive tendencies of the intentional human consciousness is discussed in this article. The classical un-derstanding of the notion of cinematic realism is compared with the idea of non-representational cinema,  accentuating  the  partially  technological  and  partially  subjective  nature  of  film,  which  was described by Bazin, and its way to put the film viewer closer to the perception of the Bergso-nian acentric reality. Instead of giving a clear conclusion, the Bazinian idea of the non-anthropo-centric cinema is actualized in the light of the speculative turn in today’s philosophy.
Philosophers, poets, and witches
Authors: Razauskas Dainius
Published: January 2019

There are some metaphors used already in many ancient traditions on the ground of which the concepts of philosopher, poet, and witch, or wizard, can be compared. Two of them are shortly dicussed here. The first is the metaphor of “seeing’: ancient Greek philosophers, as also ancient Indian sages, speak of their occupation as consisting in the capacity of mental sight; poets from earliest times call themselves seers; many nouns for witch and wizard in different languages derive from the verbs meaning ‘to see’. The second metaphor discussed here is ‘flying’: ancient Greek philosophers, as also ancient Indian seers, speak of their mental flights; poets do fly and confess of having wings from the times immemorial until nowadays; and some of Lithuanian witches were accused of having flown and the bird’s feathers found in their hairs were considered as an evidence for that (not to speak of the well-known feathers in the garment of Siberian shamans, American Indian cheafs and wizards, etc.). It seems, then, that philosophers, poets and witches, or wizards, represent one and the same mental, religious, and cultural phenomenon the different conception and interpretation of which depends primarily on the conscious awareness of a methaphor.
The meaning of separation from anonymity by Emmanuel Levinas
Authors: Saldukaitytė Jolanta
Published: January 2019

The present article discusses the notion of anonymous existence in the early writings of Emmanuel Levinas. Raising the question of what is the meaning of escaping from this anonymity, the author shows that it is already the presumption or the influence of the intersubjective relation, and therefore also of ethics (which is inseparable from the intersubjective relation). Examining the Levinasian notion of existence also helps to reveal his criticism of Western philosophy, especially that of Martin Heidegger. The author claims that the separation of the existent from anonymous existence is not simply a reversal or even a modification of the Heideggerian ontological difference, but rather the first step towards an alterity that is not an ontological difference.

Dyskusje na temat pomnika Adama Mickiewicza w Wilnie na łamach prasy wileńskiej z lat 1925–1927
Authors: Fedorowicz Irena
Published: January 2019

Irena FedorovichDiscussions on the Project of A. Mickiewicz’s Monument in Vilna in Press of 1925–1927
The first monument in honour of A. Mickiewicz in Vilna was a bust unveiled in the church of Saint Johns ’ in 1899. However, the Vilnius town-dwellers were willing to erect a monument in a public place. This topic stimulated lots of emotions, especially in the years 1925–1927. Readers of the daily newspapers “Word” (“Słowo”) and “Courier of Vilna” (“Kurier Wileński”) were divided into supporters and opponents of the project of the monument of A. Mickiewicz created by the sculptor S. Szukalski. He was the winner of the competition held in 1926. Under the pressure of public opinion that project was never materialized.Discussion on the monument to A. Mickiewicz in Vilna became a part of a typical Polish cultural discourse in the thirties on the topic of modern art and attitudes of the artists towards the romanticism tradition.

К истории новогрудской редакции Пролога (на материале списков сентябрьского полугодия)
Authors: Чистякова Марина Владимировна Владимировна
Published: January 2019

Marina ChistiakovaOn the history of the Navahrudak edition of the Simple Synaxarion (on the basis of copies for the September haft of the year)
The article is devoted to the analysis of the structure of the Navahrudak edition of the Simple Synaxarion on the basis of two manuscript synaxaria for the September half of the ecclesiastical year: Russian State Library, Museum collection, no. 4102, first quarter of the 16th century, and the Wróblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, F 19–95, 1512. Their comparison revealed a number of common features (certain additional instructive stories, the Vita of the Three Vilnius Martyrs, the cycle of 10 stories about the Kievan Caves monks) which allow us to assume, that the two manuscripts represent the Navahrudak edition, but this is true only for their main part from 1st September till 3rd February. In the concluding part, from 4th February onward, the manuscript F 19–95 represents the expanded edition of the Simple Synaxarion, while the codex Mus. 4102 combines the same version with the short edition of the Simple Synaxarion. Apparently, a defective copy of the Navahrudak edition has been used while compiling the two manu­scripts.
Rusycyzmy w socjolekcie młodzieży polskiego pochodzenia w Wilnie

Miroslav DavlevičRussian Words in the Sociolect of the Young People of Polish Origin in Vilnius
A characteristic feature of the sociolect of the young people of Polish origin in Vilnius is the large number of borrowings from various languages. In the analyzed material different groups of words of foreign origin are distinguished. Borrowings from the Lithuanian, English, German, French and Italian languages are presented. However, the most prominent group - representing over 1/3 of the collected lexical data - are borrowings from the Russian language. This tendency is based on the long-term influence of the Russian language in these areas. Considering the subject of the borrowings as well as the level of adoption the following items are distinguished in this article: 1 Quotes: verbal and phraseological; 2 formal-semantic lexical borrowings (adopted words); 3 Semantic loanwords. In the majority of the cases these borrowings were taken over not from the literary language, but from the colloquial Russian language or Russian environmental dialects (e.g., criminal, youth slang, etc.) known as inter-sociolectic borrowings. Young people of Polish origin in Vilnius use sociolect, which is basically a mixture (mélange) of colloquial Russian, Russian criminal slang and Slavic expressive words (curse words and vulgar language). In a multilingual society the presence of lexical borrowings is an inevitable phenomenon. It is worth pointing out that in Lithuania (as well as on the territory of the former Soviet Union) the Russian language for a long period of time has performed the function of the interdialect.

Konstantin V. LifanovFrom the History of Formation of the Slovak Literary Language: A. Bernolák’s Codification and Norm Formation in Texts of Bernolák’s Supporters A. Rudnay and Fr.K. Habel
This paper deals with Bernolák’s codification in comparison with the real form of Ber­nolák’s literary language presented in sermons of the Hungarian Cardinal A. Rudnay and translation of the religious treatise from German by Fr. X. Habel. This comparison shows that in real practice Bernolák’s language changed its character, coming nearer to norm of traditional Slovak writing. As a result typical elements, the most widespread in a West Slovak dialect or characterizing peripheral the Záhorie dialect of West Slovakia and the Czech language, forced out the elements concentrated in the Central Slovak dialect. The found out phenomena testifies that the norm essentially different from codification was formed in Bernolák‘s language.

O текстологии рукописных китабов литовских татар: легенда Мирадж
Authors: Мишкинене Галина
Published: January 2019

В статье к текстам татарских китабов впервые применены методы классической текстологии, предполагающие выявление различных списков одного и того же произведения с последующим сравнением их содержания и языкового выражения. В качестве материала была выбрана легенда Мирадж, пользовавшаяся особой популярностью среди литовских татар. Легенда Мирадж была доступна нам в восьми списках. Последовательно оговаривается происхождение рукописей, текстовое окружение легенды Мирадж в рукописях, структура легенды, текстологический анализ текста. На данном этапе исследования остановимся лишь на славяноязычной части легенды (т.е. ее подстрочном переводе), в дальнейшем же планируется исследование и ее староосманской части.Ключевые слова: литовские татары, рукописная книга, легенда Мирадж, текстология, стемма списков....Galina MiškinienėAbout the textual criticism of the Lithuanian Tatar manuscripts Kitabs: the “Miraj” legend
In the initial period of the Lithuanian Tatar Kitab study, there prevailed the opinion that these Slavic manuscripts of the Muslim content, written in Arabic script, contain texts which are being repeated from one manuscript to another. When the number of Kitabs was transliterated, scientists became convinced in the opposite: the significant part of texts was unique and was not found in other catalogues. Only several manuscript collections could be named as being identical in their composition (however, this topic demands an individual study). The textual study of Tatar manuscripts became attainable after the publicationof the “A Catalogue of Lithuanian Tatar Manuscripts Written in Arabic Script,” where attention was focused on the description of the content of these written monuments (rather than graphic-orthographic features). It had rarely been done before in specific works on kitabistics. The classical method of textual criticism, which assumes to identify various lists of the same piece and then to compare their content and linguistic expression, to the texts of the Tatar Kitab for the first time was used in this topic. The Miraj legend was chosen as the matter. This legend used to be very popular among Lithuanian Tatars. The legend was attainable for us in eight catalogs. The report consistently presents the origin of manuscripts, the textual environment of the legend in different manuscripts, the structure of the legend, and analysis of the text. In this phase of the study, we are going to focus only on the Slavic part of the legend (i.e. the interlinear translation). In the future, we plan to analyze the old Ottoman part.
Pукописная книга и ее рецепция в Великом княжестве Литовском XIV–середины XVI вв.
Authors: Циценене Рима
Published: January 2019

Цель статьи — проанализировать эволюцию представления о рукописной книге и ее рецепции обществом ВКЛ. Для этого требуется установить, каким образом в обществе проявлялась рецепция книги и как это отраженo в источниках того времени. Материалом исследования послужили рукописные кодексы, архивные документы и объекты искусства. Установлено, что книга удовлетворяла служебные, общественные и личные потребности членов общества того времени. С увеличением числа экземпляров и собраний, с повышением разнообразия взаимоотношений человека с книгой в обществе ВКЛ изменялось и само представление о книге. Если на раннем этапе кодекс воспринимался как статичный, сакральный, целостный объект, мало подверженный человеческому влиянию, то уже с XV в. можно говорить о книге как о мобильном, меняющемся объекте, крайне зависимом от связанного с ним человека. Книги мигрировали в географическом и жизненном пространстве.В начале XVI в. изменилось восприятие целостности книги. Понятие о кодексе как о единице, физически объединяющей отдельные произведения (книги), сменило понятие кодекса как единого целого (нового произведения), имеющего общие внутренние и внешние признаки.Ключевые слова: рукописная книга, средневековые кодексы, книжная культура, книга и средневековое общество, Великое княжество Литовское....Rima CicėnienėThe reception of the manuscript book in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 14th– mid-16th centuries
The article aims to analyze changes in society’s view of the manuscript book and its reception. The author investigates the ways in which society manifested its reception of the book and how it is reflected in the sources of that time. Manuscript books, archival sources, and objects of art were used as the sources for the research. It has been established that the book satisfied official, social, and personal needs of society and individuals of the time. As books and collections became increasingly numerous and the relationship with books diversified, the idea of the book in the GDL’s society also underwent a significant change. While during the early stage of the period under study a book was understood as a static and uniform sacral object little influenced by an individual, since the 15th century it was considered to be a mobile, mutable object strongly affected by the persons directly connected with the book. Codices migrated both in the geographical and living space. In the early 16th century, the concept of a book as a unit item also underwent a significant change. The concept of a codex as an object that physically joins separate works (books, liber) was replaced by the idea of a codex as an integral unit (a new work) which possesses both internal and external unifying elements of a book.
The Progressive Palatalization and the Old Novgorodian Pronoun vъxe
Authors: Галинская Елена Аркадьевна Аркадьевна
Published: January 2019

The progressive palatalization is one of the most debatable questions of the historical Slavic linguistics. For instance, there is no plausible explanation for the Old Novgorodian pronoun vъxe which does not exhibit the effect of the progressive palatalization. It is attested 23 times in the Novgorodian birch bark letters and in Varlaam’s letter. In 17 cases, there is Ъ in the root, in 5 cases the root has no vowel, and only in one birch bark letter there is Ь in the root. The latter text was written after the fall of yers which makes it possible that Ь marks the assimilative palatalization of [v]. I propose a possible explanations for this situation and argue that Ъ in the root predates the split-off of the Novgorodian dialect from Common Slavic. It is a plausible hypothesis since there are Novgorodian phenomena which came into existence during the Common Slavic period and are unattested in other Slavic dialects. If it is so, there is no need to expect the progressive palatalization in the root vъx- because there were no conditions for that, as there is no front vowel before x.
Новые данные о родстве московской и кирилло-белозерской редакций Стишного пролога (сентябрь–ноябрь)
Authors: Чистякова Марина Владимировна Владимировна
Published: January 2019

This study of the newly discovered manuscript from the Kirillo-Belozersky redaction of the Verse Prologue (Russian National Library, Kirillo-Belozersky collection 12.1251, XVI–XVII cc.) shows that the composition of the lives of the saints and sermons in the Moscow and Kirillo-Belozersky redactions for September are virtually identical. In comparison with the Moscow redaction, the Kirillo-Belozersky redaction contains several new homilies for October and several new homiletic texts for November, while systematically omitting many of the November sermons of the Moscow redaction. This leads to the conclusion that the idea of producing the Kirillo-Belozersky redaction gradually came into being in the course of copying the manuscript from the Moscow redaction.
Ворожю кусты одного древнерусского поучения, или Семантический вес запятой
Authors: Антропов Николай Павлович Павлович
Published: January 2019

This paper analyses a fragment of an Old Russian homily from a Corpus of Homilies dating back to 1491. It comprises a word combination “ворожю кусты”, which Alexei Sobolevsky, the first researcher of the text, had separated by a comma, causing a misin terpretation of the fragment. It has been determined that the lexeme кусты found in the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle is unrelated to the one found in the homily. Therefore, this lexeme could be replacing what originally was куксы, appearing as a result of creative copying.
Mежславянские семантические заимствования в русском приказном языке ХVII века
Authors: Гарбуль Людмила Павловна Павловна
Published: January 2019

The article examines the history of the following words found in the MXVIIth-cen. Muscovite diplomatic correspondence: verne ‘devoted (to), faithfully’, vol(’)no ‘one may, one is allowed’, gruda ‘frozen clod on the road’, dokonati ‘realize, carry out; fulfill, put into practice’, zaživati ‘use, employ’, zamykati ‘complete, conclude (about speech, text)’, zaperetisja ‘deny, refuse to admit; keep one’s mouth shut’. The author shows that these words, in the meanings provided here, are cross-Slavic calques in the Russian written language of the XVIIth.The author argues that these specific meanings of verne, gruda, dokonati, zamykati, and zaperetisja are most likely calques from Polish, and vol(’)no, zaživati in the examined sense are probably semantic calques from the written language of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
К истории становления сербского литературного языка: неологизмы в проповедях Гаврилы Стефановича Венцловича
Authors: Гучкова Ирина Вадимовна Вадимовна
Published: January 2019

The article deals with the neologisms in the sermons of Gavrilo Stefanović Venclović, a Serbian writer of the XVIIIth century, who was among the first to use Serbian vernacular as a standard language for the purpose of writing sermons. After the Vuk type of written language had won, lexical gaps were filled mainly words and expressions already present in the vernacular. This method provided a very limited stylistic and lexical inventory for the writers. Venclović’s stylistic neologisms, possessing such qualities as picturesqueness and semantic transparency, served to draw attention of the audience to the text of the sermon. Rooted in the biblical tradition, they represent a ‘bridge’ between the Old Church Slavonic lexical legacy and the Serbian vernacular, as well as demonstrate the possibility for the creation of a standard language based on vernacular, without divorcement from the tradition of Cyril and Methodius. For a more detailed analysis of the neologisms in the language of Venclović’s sermons the author has chosen the category of verbal nouns with the suffix -lac, which were further categorized into complex and simple nouns, according to the derivation feature.
Словенский язык и словенская национальная, региональная и локальная идентичность
Authors: Кумар Данила Зульян Зульян
Published: January 2019

Language constitutes an important part of identity; therefore, a definite relationship can be established between the stages of development of the national language and forms of identity. The formation and development of the Slovenian national language, starting in the late seventeenth century, during the period of National Awakening, and of Slovenian national identity can be divided into six stages or periods, all of which saw the social functions of the Slovenian language change. In the 1990’s, emphasis on Slovenian national identity reached its peak, at the same time that the effects of globalization became noticeable in Slovenia, increasing the attention of the Slovenians to their regional and local particularities and the diversity of their local dialects. The article focuses on the different forms of national, local and regional identities that have emerged during this period in Slovenia.

Reading, translating and interpreting them according to the methodical rules, is equivalent to editing the sociological text and its social implications as well as proposing reasonable paths for action.

Kito alegorijos (po)moderniame diskurse
Authors: Žukauskaitė Audronė
Published: January 2019

The aim of the article is to discuss the meaning of the notion of the Other in the postmodern thought. The author suggests that before being defined as a programme the postmodern thought is a thought and a view of the Other, a view that connects the postmodern critique of society and culture with the works of Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas among others. The author builds her argument on the phenomenological critique of the subject-centered metaphysics of the New Age. In her interpretation of the phenomenological ideas of Levinas, Nancy and Heidegger the author suggests that the phenomenological recognition of the intersubjective grounds of subjectivity does not yet mean the recognition of the other in the social reality where the Other resides. On the basis of such interpretation the author argues that the interplay of immanence and transendence in the social reality is defining of the postmodern thought.

Transcendentalinės sąmonės pro-simboliai
Authors: Mickūnas Algis
Published: January 2019

The article analyzes the problem of defining the concept of consiousness in the modern sciences. The author notes that consiousness does exist in the form of reality, image, metaphycical pressuposition or human condition. Rather consiousness shows itseld as an expression of a specific phenomena beyond and before itself. The author develops a phenomenological analysis of the process of formation of consiousness in the context of symbolic formations, concepts and personal experiences. Change and steadiness, rules of interrelations as a phenomena can been seen as references and qualities through which a pre-symbolic consiousness of consciousness (or consiousness of prime symbols) appears.

Postkomunistinės revoliucijos želmenys: į postmodernią Lietuvą?
Authors: Šaulauskas Marius Povilas
Published: January 2019

Nowadays we could hardly find a sociologist, who could reasonably deny the significance of the structural changes in the decade after the start of ‘singing revolution’ in Lithuania. The change occurred not only in the spheres of politics and economics; it slowly and reluctantly transformed the structure of the society, its values and norms. What is the logic of such change? Is it already possible to define the stages of post-communist development? Is it possible to delineate tendencies of the development? Whether Lithuania – together with other neighbors in the Eastern Europe – is capable of following the path of ‘post-modern’ democracy in the West; or, despite all the efforts, the paths of development are unprecedent.
Georgas Herbertas Meadas ir asmens savimonės teorija
Authors: Leonavičius Vylius
Published: January 2019

Mead’s theory defines the individual as a rational and an active being. While at the time Freud’s influence was substantial, the notion of the unconscious plays a limited role in Mead's discussion of the rational ‘me’ or the ego. Most often the unconscious refers to social action that is not thought of consciously. The main object of Mead's analysis is the self and its bases in the social interaction.
Serbų ir kroatų nacionalizmo atgimimo prielaidos XX a. pabaigoje
Authors: Dirgėla Mantas
Published: January 2019

Nationalism in one way or the other affected all the political processes in the Yugoslavian territories. The tension between Serbian and Croatian nationalism is of special importance. Therefore the analysis of these nationalisms is central for understanding the political events in the region. The article differentiates a few interrelated preconditions for the understanding of the two nationalisms. These are the history, the economic conditions, social-psychological factors and the interaction between foreign politics and nationalism.

Įvadinis žodis
Authors: Valantiejus Algimantas
Published: January 2019

The stage of development of sociological thought is grounded on the development of principles of scientific explanation and the ability to define current issues. However, in Lithuania the model of scientific sociology is not being followed: ‘sociology’ means, it might be said, an overview of the statistical data and repetitive calculations. The influence of the quantitative tradition is of special notice. However, it is the conceptual level that lacks attention – the level of comparative analysis and argumentation.
Šiuolaikiškas tapatumas. Istorijos ir dabarties vertinimo kriterijai
Authors: Valantiejus Algimantas
Published: January 2019

The aim of the article is to discuss the meaning of the notion of national identity in contemporary society. The argument is developed by discussing the relation between the social and the individual aspects of identity. First, the author analyzes the connection between the individual and the social aspects of identity in the modern conception of nation. He argues that the idea of an ethnic community served as a centre to relate the individuals before and beyond the nation. Second, the argument is developed by claiming that in the times of intensified communication the relation with the centre undergoes important change. The author argues that the diminishing distance between the centre and the periphery results in a problematization of the national identity: identity is thought of as either over-determined or under-defined by the social actors. Third, because of such changes national identity becomes defined not in terms of centre and periphery but in terms of individual possibilities of choise.
Šalpos valgyklos ir muilo operos: ikoninis tautiškumas,žiniasklaida, pop kultura nūdienėje Lietuvoje
Authors: Tereškinas Artūras
Published: January 2019

This article aims to theorize the complex relationship between the sublimity of Lithuanian national identity and its everyday happenings by playing with national significations and resignifications extracted from a wide array of texts written in the nineteenth century and in the 90s of the twentieth century. Mass media, pop culture and the everyday are understood as spaces of a new nationness in practice demonstrating how the national imaginary is constructed and deconstructed through the circulation of televisual and print media images. Drawing on the ideas of Benedict Anderson about imagined communities created by the press, the article touches upon the various kinds of media producing, in Anderson's words, a "league of anonymous equals." How does media help the Lithuanian people think the nation? How do the people negotiate their desire for belongings and solidarities through their everyday acts and experiences of national imaginary?
Bendruomenės savimones raida ir tautos sąvokos reikšmės
Authors: Leonavičius Vylius
Published: January 2019

The aim of the article is to discuss the relationship between the theoretical concepts and the historical experiences of a community the social sciences are a part of. The analysis is centered around the concepts of the nation and the folk and their relationship with the national self-understanding in Lithuania. The author attempts to show that the meaning of the two concepts is closely connected with the specific development of the Lithuanian state, its social stratification and cultural, social and political identity. The author suggests that the historical experience led to a distinction between the concepts of nation and folk that is widely accepted both in the everyday language and academic discourse.
"Vidutinio" lietuvio tapatybė: sąmoningumo prieštaros ties amžių riba
Authors: Subačius Paulius
Published: January 2019

The article aims to analyze the issues of the ‘average’ – in terms of age, social status and cultural experience – Lithuanian identity. The author suggests that the change of cultural models of identity creates a discontinuity between the structure of identity and the social life. He argues that the discontinuity is especially evident in the six dimensions of self-understanding: the interpretation of history, city, religious affiliations, national identity, power and community. The author argues that the tension is resolved in a model of identity that lacks a civic dimension.

Authors: Augistinaitis Arūnas
Published: January 2019

The article aims to discuss the postmodern knowledge and to understand the dynamic nature of the discursive formation.

Authors: Klumbytė Neringa
Published: January 2019

The author grounds the analysis on a view of postmodern ethnography as a deconstruction of the earlier studies and suggests a notion of creative imagination for understanding the changes in anthropology. The author argues that the postmodern ethnographic study is best understood as experemintal, both scientific and non-scienific practice that transgresses the modern distinctions of genres and disciplines.
Ar postmodernizmas sunaikins politikos pagrindus?
Authors: Murphy John W.
Published: January 2019

Postmodernism represents an assault on the approach realists have taken to conceptualizing knowledge and order. It shows no regard for the principles and standards that have allowed societies to grow and prosper. With respect to current politics, it is believed that postmodernism discards the commitments and moral guidelines that have enabled a range of activists to intervene at appropriate times to improve the conditions of disadvantaged persons. It seems that postmodernism has undermined any valid basis for formulating a fair and equitable social contract and giving credence to postmodernism is synonymous with embracing social atomism and accepting the laissez-faire outlook on economics and other aspects of social life. Because the philosophy of laissez-faire provides no basis for order other than freely chosen contacts, which many conservatives believe are optional, social correctives have no purpose. Indeed, considering the resulting elusive nature of society, where are interventions supposed to be directed?
