Abstract Understanding Hegel's account of particularity has proven to be anything but straightforward. Two main accounts of particularity have been advanced: the particular as an example or instance and the particular as a subjective perspective on a universal concept. The problem with these accounts is that they reduce particularity either to singularity or to universality. As Derrida's analyses make apparent, the ‘structure of exemplarity’ in Hegel is quite intricate. Hegel uses ‘example’ in three senses: it means (1) ‘instance’, ‘illustration’, or (2) ‘model’, ‘exemplary individual’, ‘paradigm’, or (3) a by-play (a meaning derived from Hegel's neologism beiherspielen, in which Beispiel is understood quasi-etymologically as a ‘by-play’ of accidental moments). A Beispiel in the first sense can be replaced by another instance in a free play (by-play). This play of accidental moments, however, is not entirely free; it generates a series (of replacements) that ultimately leads to an example in the second sense, to an exemplary individual. I argue that particularity can be taken as exemplarity of this kind, oscillating between a singular example and a universal paradigm. Within this by-play, the universal concept, its law, is supposed to be mediated and determined. However, out of the differences between the examples the by-play induces another law, the law of non-mediation, which may, in Derrida's view, actually negate the dialectical movement towards universality. I argue, utilizing Malabou's concept of plasticity, that this disruption may be recovered. This implies that each individual example within a series is a particular determination of the universal. Hence, we can take literally Hegel's claim that the movement of the concept is play.

This paper presents a brief overview of the act of insult, pursuant to Article 146, Paragraph 1, and Article 148, Paragraph 1, Sections 1‒4 of the Bulgarian Criminal Code /CC/) in comparison with other criminal offences under the CC, as well as with the administrative offence pursuant to the Petty Delinquency Counteraction Decree, where honour and dignity constitute the primary or additional subject matter of the defence. The paper takes into account the exisiting common characteristics of the criminal offences in question from both an objective and a subjective perspective, where different communicative situations resort only to derogatory attitude on the part of the deed’s subject towards the object of the infringement, or such attitude represents an aspect of the broader range of the illegal deed. The analysis includes a comparison between insult, as defined in Article 146, Paragraph 1 of the CC, and “grave insult”, as defined in the texts of Article 118, Article 124, Paragraph 2, and Article 132, Paragraph 1 of the CC. In addition, it contrasts the concept of insult in terms of definition and content with the insult pursuant to Article 146, Paragraph 1, and Article 148, Paragraph 1, Sections 1‒4 of the CC, with the criminal offences of military insult under Article 378 of the CC, delinquency under Article 325 of the CC, and petty delinquency under Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Petty Delinquency Counteraction Decree, as well as with the offence of minor bodily injury under Article 130, Paragraph 2 of the CC. An emphasis is placed on the difference between them.

“What is historiography?” asked the American historian Carl Becker in 1938. Professional historians continue to argue over the meaning of the term. This book challenges the view of historiography as an esoteric subject by presenting an accessible and concise overview of the history of historical writing from the Renaissance to the present. Historiography plays an integral role in aiding undergraduate students to better understand the nature and purpose of historical analysis more generally by examining the many conflicting ways that historians have defined and approached history. By demonstrating how these historians have differed in both their interpretations of specific historical events and their definitions of history itself, this book conveys to students the interpretive character of history as a discipline and the way that the historian’s context and subjective perspective influence his or her understanding of the past.

AbstractIn the predominantly sociometric approach used to investigate the social and personal experience of adolescents with ADHD, teachers, parents, peers, or observers rate their perception of the sociol relationships experienced by the adolescent with ADHD.The adolescent's subjective perspective of his or her situation has been largely ignored.The present study examined self-reported peer rejection, peer-related loneliness, coping “strength”, and interpersonal concerns experienced by 84 adolescents: 22 with ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Type (ADHD-PI), 19 with ADHD Predominantly Hyperactive Type (ADHD-PHI), and 43 nondisordered adolescents. The adolescents, from southwest Sydney, attended mainstream schools.Adolescents with ADHD-PI reported significantly less manageability and less concern about others' feelings and about relationships with others than did nondisordered adolescents.Adolescents with either ADHD-PI or ADHD-PHI reported significantly less global sense of coherence and significantly more peer-related loneliness than did nondisordered adolescents. No significant difference was reported between the adolescent groups on measures of comprehensibility, meaningfulness, and concern about being rejected and humiliated. These contrasting self-reported profiles of the social and personal experience of adolescents with ADHD and nondisordered adolescents have implications for researchers and practitioners.

This paper analyzes some anti-Shia articles which are abundantly available in online media. As a minority group, Shia is in a subaltern position where they were published negatively. This publication created negative paradigm of Shia in the society. In the borderless world of cyberspace, the production of Shia articles appears in the form of unequal semiotic relationships. Quite often, the meaning of Shia was published from the subjective perspective of a particular group. For this reason, this research examines the phenomenon of Shia trending articles from the cyber semiotic perspective. The research revealed that the subaltern bridle against the Shia in the media remains so strong. It requires self-awareness to provide equal opportunity for Shia speak up in the media in a balanced way. By such opportunity, the balanced view on the Shia can be obtained. It is hoped that this objective view could establish inclusivity in religious life.

This paper presents a methodology to categorize subscribers of digital music service (DMS) by taking as input variables their historic download pattern and streaming library. Drawing inspiration from biology, we develop a metric called "genotype" by defining a series of indicators called attractors and detractors that form a category space or "species" for every user. These species are based on four main styles of music: latin, urban, rock and pop; the indicators assign weights to the genres based on the sociological subjective perspective of music fans from one category in relation to other music styles, i.e., how they view other types of music they don't feel affinity with. The result is a segmentation of users that finds application in the making of offers and promotions, which can in turn be coupled with association rules and market basket analysis to improve direct marketing campaigns (CTR) and maximize revenue.

This article considers description as a functional and semantic type of speech from the point of view of the receptive-pragmatic paradigm of research. The authors turn to pragmatic syntax in order to reconstruct the receptive space of the speech subject, their cognitive sphere based on pragmatically (connotatively) «charged» signs and to actualize the implicitly expressed meaning of the statement with their help. The methodological basis of the study is the referential analysis, which helps to reconstruct a set of initial situations (referential space), and contextual analysis, through which the pragmatic information and personal meanings belonging to the cognitive sphere of the speech subject (receptive space) are explicated. Special attention is paid to the triadic opposition «figure – micro-context – referential space» – «background – macro-context – receptive space». The conceptual triad «figure – micro-context – referential space» is related to the material world and its representations in the text, and in this respect belongs to the conceptual field of semantic syntax. On the contrary, the conceptual triad «background – macro-context – receptive space» enables to reconstruct the cognitive sphere of the speech subject and its representation in speech, in particular, the attitude of the speech subject to what they see, feel and think, how their ideas about the original (referent) situation develop, and refer to the material sphere and conceptual field of pragmatic syntax. This triadic opposition helps to consider the subjective navigation of the text as a modification of its subjective perspective. Subjective text navigation represents implicit (not clearly expressed) ways of orientation in the cognitive sphere of the speech subject and is designed to direct the reader's attention, their perception of different levels of explicitly and implicitly expressed meanings through pragmatic localizers of the speech subject's discourse intention.

This article addresses the psychotherapeutically important phenomenon of relating first-personally to one's own emotion, belief, desire, or other attitude. The fundamental theoretical challenge is to understand how one can relate to one's attitudes as one's attitudes without occupying a position that is alienated from them. Philosophical questions in this area are significantly illuminated by considering certain clinically manifested vicissitudes and pathologies of the first-person. The article interprets the first-person relation in terms of a complex set of functional capacities: the capacity to occupy the subjective perspective of the attitude as conscious subject; the capacity to both self-ascribe the attitude and articulate its content, in ways that are expressive manifestations of the attitude; and various capacities involved in relating to one's state as an attitude. The resultant conception of the first-person stance accommodates a range of clinically significant phenomena and suggests a multidimensional specification of one key aspect of psychological health.
