Insight Into

This article will consider how dress, textiles, manuscripts and images in the Thomas Hardy Archive illuminate his writing and reveal the accuracy of his descriptions of clothing in novels including Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Rural clothing, fashionable styles, drawings and illustrations will shed new light on his writing through providing an insight into the people's dress he described so eloquently in his writing. The textiles and clothing in the Archive are also significant as nineteenth-century working-class dress is relatively rare. Everyday rural clothing does not tend to survive, so a collection belonging to Hardy's family of country stonemasons provides new opportunities for research in this area. Even more unusual is clothing reliably provenanced to famous people or writers, and such garments that do exist tend to be from the middle or upper classes. This article will show how the combination of surviving dress, biographical context and literary framework enriches understanding of Hardy's words and informs research into nineteenth-century rural dress.

The Names of Montenegrin Football ClubsThis article analyses the names of the Montenegrin football clubs taking part in the 2019/20 league competitions. The semantic analysis of their names presented in the study indicates that the most popular pattern is the use of a geographical name (the name of a mountain, river, lake, etc.). Other significant patterns are the use of the names of people (including the names of occupations, inhabitants of a particular region, or famous people associated with the region) and the names of abstract relations between people. Some clubs, mostly from the lowest level in the league system, use only an acronym and the name of their town/village. Nazewnictwo czarnogórskich klubów piłkarskichAutor analizuje nazwy czarnogórskich klubów piłkarskich uczestniczących w rozgrywkach sezonu 2019/20. Analiza semantyczna pokazuje, że najbardziej popularnym schematem nazewniczym jest użycie nazwy geograficznej (nazwy gór, rzek, jezior itp.). Inne istotne schematy wykorzystują nazwy ludzi (w tym nazwy zawodów, mieszkańców regionów i sławnych ludzi związanych z regionem), a także nazwy abstrakcyjne relacji międzyludzkich. Niektóre kluby, zwłaszcza z najniższego poziomu rozgrywkowego, używają wyłącznie skrótowca oraz nazwy miejscowości, w której funkcjonują.

Equal Consideration

The article aims to critically discuss the theory of animal rights developed by American social philosopher David DeGrazia. It consists of two parts. The first one describes the main elements of DeGrazia’s approach, namely his views on animal minds, the principle of equal consideration, the idea of unequal moral status, the concept of border persons, and practical remarks concerning improving the treatment of animals by humans. The second part presents remarks about the points where DeGrazia’s proposals should be supplemented and corrected so as to make them more convincing and widely accepted. The conclusion of the essay is the proposal of a cultural revolution for the benefit of animals, which should be initiated by famous people, like actresses, actors, sportswomen and sportsmen, because of their influential position in contemporary societies.

The People

This chapter focuses on famous people. It shows that American culture does not take for granted the role of merit in achievement, even in the cases of successful public figures. The chapter asserts that even in instances of extreme achievement — the paragons, the winners, the people whose merit should be most obvious and who have long been understood as symbols of meritocracy — American culture tends to debate or evaluate the role of merit in success rather than accept it. It explores how we argue about whether people like Carly Fiorina deserve to be where they are and ask what our uncertainty about the Big Shots means for the rest of us. The chapter also reveals that American stories do not take meritocracy for granted but rather ask in individual cases whether a person, even an extremely successful person, ended up where he or she deserves to be. It emphasizes that American considerations of star athletes are shot through with uncertainty about deservedness.
