The article focuses on R. Steiner’s perception of the Gospels and the impact of that view on Bely’s works. The latter had always valued Steiner’s lectures on Christ and the Fifth Gospel, the “Anthroposophic” (relating to the philosophy of human genesis, existence, and outcome) Gospel, the knowledge of which had been received in a visionary way. In addition, Bely was an esoteric follower of Steiner and often quoted from Apostle Paul’s 2 Corinthians, “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men”. The citation occurs in Bely’s philosophical works (The History of the Formation of the Self-Conscious Soul, “Crisis of Consciousness”), autobiographic prose (Reminiscences of Steiner), the essay “Why I Became a Symbolist…”, and letters (to Ivanov-Razumnik and Fedor Gladkov). Bely’s own anthroposophic and esoteric ideas relating to the gospel sayings are also examined. The aim of the research is to show through the example of one quotation the specifics of Bely the Anthroposophist’s perception of Christian texts in general. This provides a methodological meaning for understanding other Biblical quotations and images in the works of Bely because anthroposophical Christology is also the key to their deciphering.

Although contemporary approaches to schizophrenia pinpoint ‘disturbances of the self’ as a central aetiological factor, historical insight into the link between accounts of schizophrenia and theories of subjectivity and self-consciousness is poor. This paper aims to overcome this gap by providing the outlines of a largely forgotten but crucial part of the intellectual history of schizophrenia. In particular, the impact of the German tradition of apperceptionism on nineteenth-century accounts of schizophrenia is unearthed. This tradition emerged from German Idealism, and culminated in Emil Kraepelin’s account of dementia praecox. In addition to filling an important gap in the historiography of psychiatry, this analysis contributes to ongoing efforts to correct some common misunderstandings regarding Kraepelin’s theoretical position.

Constructing the self in the literary work of Franciszek Karpiński against the background of the Enlightenment and its tendenciesThe presented paper provides analysis of the notion ‘autobiographism’ contextualised in the literary output of the Polish poet of the enlightenment, Franciszek Karpiński. The question of autobiographism is presented in terms of the literature and philosophy of Jean Jacques Rousseau. This analysis of the phenomena of authenticity and autobiographicality is concerned with constructing oneself in literature as illustrated by certain works, with the primacy of the mundane The History Of My Age And People With Whom I Lived. The essay draws on The Confessions by Rousseau with a view to specifying the connections between these two novels. The consciousness of the impact Rousseau had on the European sense of literature breaks new ground in the interpretation of the legacy of Karpiński. It also enables the recognition of the complete and compact project situated on the verge of literature and philosophy. The breakthrough of this project is contained in the priority given to the Polish historical literary process and the novelty of the autobiographical attitude, which is considered through the application of basic conceptions concerning autobiographism and the modern identity project of the aesthetic human. Konstruowanie „ja” w twórczości Franciszka Karpińskiego na tle epoki i jej tendencjiSzkic poświęcony jest zagadnieniu autobiografizmu w twórczości Franciszka Karpińskiego ujmowanemu pod kątem jego związków z twórczością i filozofią Jana Jakuba Rousseau. Analiza zjawisk autentyczności i autobiograficzności dotyka kwestii konstruowania siebie w literaturze na przykładzie konkretnych utworów, z których najważniejszym jest przełomowa dla historii polskiej literatury powieść Karpińskiego Historia mego wieku i ludzi z którymi żyłem. Przedmiotem analizy są m.in. jej związki z Wyznaniami Rousseau. Świadomość wpływu Rousseau na europejskie pojmowanie literatury otwiera nowe perspektywy interpretacyjne twórczości Karpińskiego. Pozwala także dostrzec w jego pisarstwie elementy kompletnego, spójnego projektu sytuującego się na granicy literatury i filozofii. Jego przełomowość polega na pierwszeństwie w polskim procesie historycznoliterackim oraz nowatorstwie postawy autobiograficznej, którą rozpatruję w odniesieniu do podstawowych koncepcji dotyczących autobiografizmu, a także nowoczesnego projektu tożsamościowego człowieka estetycznego.

AbstractThe Kyamkhanis were a small Indian Muslim community who flourished in northern Rajasthan from c. 1450 to 1730. This article examines memories of the Kyamkhani past recorded in a seventeenth-century history of the ruling lineage, as a case study of both the process of Islamic expansionism in South Asia and the self-identity of rural Muslim gentry. While celebrating the ancestor who had converted to Islam generations earlier, the Kyamkhanis also represented themselves as local warriors of the Rajput class, an affiliation that is considered exclusively Hindu in India today. Their history was written in a local literary language, Braj Bhasa, rather than in the more cosmopolitan Persian that was widely used by Muslim elites at the time. The Kyamkhanis of the early modern era thus negotiated multiple social and cultural spheres, simultaneously participating in the local/vernacular as well as global/cosmopolitan arenas.

Patients presenting with a desire to lose weight often have underlying factors that complicate recommendations regarding diet and exercise. In this woman’s story, a significant physical injury resulted in chronic pain and a loss in her ability to participate in activities she had previously enjoyed and which played a role in her self-identity. While her previous history of a mood disorder may have increased her risk of developing chronic pain, the impact her injury had on her sense of self was also a likely factor. A multidisciplinary approach that addressed her sense of loss; incorporated innovative adaptations that enabled her to exercise outdoors and led to a renewed sense of hope; helped her find creative outlets and increase her sense of self efficacy; and improve the quality of sleep was instrumental in supporting her ability to incorporate dietary change, lose weight, and improve her mood and well-being. The biopsychosocial model of pain provides a framework of understanding for the complex interplay between mood, pain, and social support, which in turn can impact weight and ability to incorporate lifestyle change. Addressing these underlying factors is a critical part of whole person health.

The need to talk about the generation related self-identity of those writers who lived at the change of the century became more acute, because “fin de siècle” is the period of modernization of literature. The objective of the research is both historic-literary and purely theoretical. If in the first area we have to find out the individual identity of Lesia Ukrainka with a certain literary generation, and in the second area one should answer the question of whether the self-identification of the writeress with a certain literary generation can become the cornerstone for writing the history of literature. The process of working with the contents of letters was carried out with the help of systematic interpretation and hermeneutic reading. The main result of the research is the possibility to state that Lesia Ukrainka respected the experience of the representatives of the previous generation, but she desired to be appreciated by critics as part of the present generation gives reason to think that the writeress still identified herself as the representative of modernism.

The subject of this publication is synergetics as a methodological approach to the study of social, legal, historical and legal systems, and the aim is to identify its characteristics as a methodological approach. Methods such as philosophical dialectics, analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, synergetic, systemic, comparative historical, special legal, etc. were used in the study. As a result, it is concluded that synergetics is considered by scientists as a scientific picture of the world, independent science, methodology, interdisciplinary approach, private science theory, general scientific theory, scientific paradigm, so today it is in a state of formation. It was found that as a methodological approach, synergetics directs efforts to the scientific study of such an aspect of development as "self-organization", as well as the self-organization of such a part of matter as systems of different nature, meeting the criteria of complexity, openness, dissipation, to study the self-organization of systems within the scheme: "order" – "chaos" – "order". It is proved that in the study of social systems the main task of the synergetic approach is to identify a peculiar type of patterns of social self-organization, which differ from the patterns of self-organization in natural systems. It is substantiated that the synergetic approach has a number of heuristic possibilities in the study of some legal systems and in general directs efforts to identify the specifics of the laws of self-organization in the legal sphere, the implementation of the mechanism of legal self-organization as a result of mutual transitions of the legal order and chaos. It is revealed that the specific problems that arise when using this approach are the definition of "legal chaos", the identification of the mechanism of exchange of "legal information, matter and energy" between the legal system and the "environment", the essence of the synthesis of legal order and chaos. It is concluded that the synergetic approach has features in the study of historical and legal systems in the field of comparative history of law, which are due to the limitation of the "historical plane" of research and identify the impact of fluctuations on certain scenarios. It is determined that the nonlinearity of the evolution of historical and legal systems determines the perception of the view of the comparative history of law as an alternative and multivariate process. This allows the development in the field of alternative comparative history of law: the search for alternative in the future potentially positive options for the development of historical and legal systems. At the same time, the basis should be the modelling of comparative situations with the inclusion of the past and taking into account the impact of the future on the present. It is proved that the application of a synergetic approach in comparative and historical legal research, where the object is historical and legal systems, has a number of specific problems. It has been found that such problems are the discovery of the essence of the exchange between the "historical and legal system" and the "environment" of matter, information, energy; restrictions on the use of mathematical methods; search for criteria for distinguishing between objective and subjective factors that have influenced the choice of this particular "scenario" at the bifurcation point; delimitation of self-organization of structural elements of the system and their organization as a consequence of administrative intervention.

Recountings of the Washington, DC punk rock scene’s history often start with the founding of Dischord Records in 1980 and focus on the subsequent ascent of Dischord co-owner Ian MacKaye’s bands like Minor Threat and Fugazi. As seminal as Dischord remains in the narrative of DC punk ‐ a community still thriving today ‐ the years just prior to the label’s founding generated the scene’s true incunabula. Beginning with the self-released debut EP from the Slickee Boys in 1976, this first wave of DC bands ‐ also including Razz, Nurses, White Boy and others ‐ combined elements of art rock, surf, proto-punk, pub rock and power pop together to craft a protean version of punk that embraced eccentricity and humour, serving as the city’s own defiant rebuke of the staid state of 1970s rock music. No record label was more central to the nascent punk scene in DC than Limp Records. Operated by Skip Groff, Limp provided the punk community with its first proper record label. Rather than a label that centred around the efforts of a single band ‐ as most other new DC punk labels did ‐ Limp issued singles for several groups, collaborating with the fledgling Dacoit and O’Rourke labels to co-release defining singles for the Slickee Boys and Razz. DC punk would not have taken shape the way it did without Groff’s efforts, particularly considering his connections with bands like Bad Brains and the Slickee Boys and his musical and entrepreneurial influence on local teenage punks like MacKaye, Jeff Nelson and Henry Rollins. This article is a history of DC punk record labels from 1976 to 1980 and seeks to establish this overshadowed era of the scene as one of the most critical in the community’s 43-year existence. Considering the outsize influence the DC scene ultimately had on punk culture ‐ whether through the eponymous clean living philosophy inspired by the Minor Threat song ‘Straight Edge’, the unwaveringly independent business model of Dischord or the pacesetting music reliably turned out each decade by participants in the scene ‐ the impact of Groff and his first wave DC punk peers must be acknowledged.
