In the first part, nationalism is analysed as a kind of gnostic religion (in the sense given to this term by E. Voegelin). In the mind of their adherents, nations are ultimate realities in which the objective (fatalistic) and the subjective (voluntaristic) side of the historical process coincide. In the second part, it is argued that language, by its dialectical character, appears as the very incarnation of the nationalist ideal. The ensuing paradoxes of nationalist language policy are listed and briefly analysed: the equation of the language of culture with the language of everyday life; the equation of norm with use; the equation of object language with metalanguage; the equation of modernity with authenticity; and the equation of the national with the universal.</span></span></p>

This chapter addresses the question of psychical determinism in the work of Sigmund Freud. As Freud tells us in The Psychopathology of Everyday Life and The Introductory Lectures, nothing in the mind is arbitrary or undetermined. As Freud demonstrates again and again in hundreds of examples of parapraxes (slips of the tongue, slips of the pen, misreadings, mishearings, bungled actions, etc.), the accident (Unfall) is no accident for the analyst who is able to recognize and interpret an unconscious purpose behind an apparently random event. So how does chance (Zufall, Zufälligkeit) operate in an economy of psychical determinism? How are we to think chance together with analysis’s hermeneutic drive—that is to say, together with its compulsion to make the accident unhappen?

Satisfactory Theory

In any consideration of the nature of suggestion we cannot omit reference to the extraordinary and startling phenomena which may sometimes be observed in hypnotized subjects. But it would be a mistake to look upon hypnosis as something uncanny, mysterious, and occult. Although we have even yet no thoroughly satisfactory theory of hypnosis, we understand it in general terms, and can bring it into line with other facts and phenomena of psychology known in everyday life. The hypnotic subject, and the phenomena of hypnosis, can be explained firstly in terms of mental dissociation, of the tendency for certain forms of psychical activity to occur independently of the rest of the mind, independently of other considerations; and, secondly, in terms of suggestion, of increased suggestibility. And these two, the phenomenon of dissociation and the phenomenon of suggestibility, are not unrelated to one another. They are related, but not to the extent of being identical with one another. It was the Nancy School of Hypnotism, led by Bernheim, who considered that hypnosis could be explained in terms of suggestibility.

<p class="07KatakunciKeywords">A formalistic religious lifestyle is often the cause of the spiritual emptiness of society. This is due to Islamic learning which only considers the outward aspects and overrides its inner aspects as a result of which life balance is not achieved. Sufism as an inner side of Islam offers a solution to how to enrich the mind without leaving the business of being born. This article aims to make a reading on the transformation of sufistic values by Tuanku Buya Sayyidi Maliki in the Taklim Miftahul Istiqomah Assembly. The results of this study indicate that in order to enrich the inner side of religious life, methods are used to transform concepts from Sufism (Sufistic values) into teachings manifested in everyday life, namely the concept of human nature with brotherhood, the concept of the existence of teachers with Bai'at, the concept of science with the existence of the Istiqomah taklim assembly, and the mujahadah concept by fighting lust.</p>

Artistic Image

The artistic-pictorial system of V. Holoborodko’s poetic works is based on his own – nationally marked words in every way. Each element of the linguistic-visionary poetic paradigm of the artist is imbued with national colour, national-linguistic art, related to ancient folklore sources. The poetic picture of ethnic existence in the vision of the artist – originally simple and understandable; Its cores are known, known to all realities. Attention is drawn to redefined in the artistic name of the dishes. In V. Holoborodko’s poetic universe the jug appears as an element (component) of the macrocosm. Therefore, the philosophy of the poetic thought of the artist is based on the notion that the designated object – the most ancient and universal in everyday use – contains the world and eternity in itself. The article analyzes the semantics and emotionally expressive colouring of the image word jug in the poetic speech of V. Holoborodko. The substantive significance of the pitcher lexeme in the artist’s poetic usage of the word is substantiated. It has been found that the connotative shades of the considered image word are connected with the traditional culture of everyday life of the Ukrainians. In the poet’s figuratively-associative linguistic map, the jug appears as an attribute of harmony of feelings, coherence, understanding, sympathy, as a symbol of the love of young hearts. The linguistic sign of the jug can be considered a poetic universality of Vasyl Holoborodko. This is the favorite artistic image of the writer. Consequently, the word-image of the jug in the poetic language of the writer is a significant and artistically significant reality. In the mind of the artist, he combines the seven «symbol of national existence», «the attribute of rural life», «the original remarkable decoration of the kitchen utensils of our ancestors», «the contents of the past and future, coming»; «Macrocosm and matter of eternity of ethnic existence». So the jug with milk is a symbol of femininity and motherhood, a jug for two is a «symbol of love». The linguistic and aesthetic poetic sign of the jug is marked by emotions of exaltation, solemnity, majesty. This is a symbol of Ukrainian rural life.

Policy And Planning

This paper evaluates the Language Policy and Planning's (LPP) Methodological Rich Points (MRP) in the geographic, ethnic and linguistic composition of Afghanistan. The theoretical construct is taken from the work of Nancy H. Hornberger on MRP in LPP. The paper explores a range of primary and secondary sources, and finds that the presence of inequality, marginalization and oppression in intra-ethnic and intralanguage group relations, sharing of resources and power account for neglect of the MRP in Afghan LPP. The geographic details in conjunction with explanation of historical process of migrations and conquests explains that most of the minority language speakers are concentrated in the difficult to reach areas of Afghanistan for their safety. Further, the limiting factors of Afghan geography explains the preservation of minority languages from the effects of majority languages. The study concludes with the proposal that it would be helpful to avoid the pitfalls of the current LPP in future by giving due attention to MRP.

The article analyzes the opinion of the expert community on a number of problems concerning the ethnocultural development and language policy in Chuvashia. The survey was conducted in 15 regions of the country using the tools developed at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology under the Russian Academy of Sciences. In autumn 2020, 30 experts expressed their opinion, they represented equally the sphere of state and municipal administration, science, higher education, the media, as well as national cultural associations and other public organizations. Much attention of the experts was directed to the ways and methods of implementing the amendments to the Constitution of Russia in Chuvashia adopted in 2020, including by expanding the opportunities of regional legislation in the field of ethno-cultural development. Different points of view are expressed on such subjects as the legislative strengthening of the Chuvash language in the public space, the decision to switch to voluntary study of native languages in educational institutions, the possibility of state and public support for native languages of various peoples, etc. The attitude to such innovations was determined during the All-Russian Population Census as the ability of citizens to name themselves as representatives of more than one nationality and to name not one native language but more, to determine the extent of using other languages in everyday life other than Russian. The opinion of experts on the place and role of national cultural associations in the work on the ethno-cultural direction was studied. On a number of issues, experts expressed an integrated opinion, including supporting the cultural needs of the old-time and newly arriving population, on the need to consider native languages as belonging to traditional family values, on the possibility of identifying the level of language use in everyday life during the population census, etc. At the same time, quite opposite opinions were expressed on a number of issues. For example, this is in reference to the possibility to consider oneself a person belonging not to one, but, for example, to two ethnic identities during the population census, about the activity of national and cultural associations when discussing the amendments to the Constitution of Russia, etc.

The Mind

A psychosomatic model of dissociation is proposed that addresses the ever adjusting mind-body relation—the constant titration of the quality and degree of the psyche’s embeddedness in the sensorial and temporal life of the body. The model highlights the function of hypnoid mechanisms (autohypnosis, distraction, somatic autostimulation) and of altered states of consciousness in facilitating and masking the work of mind-body dissociation. Transient altered states, which enable new and creative forms of mind-body experience in everyday life and in the therapy situation, are contrasted with pathological forms of retreat into alter worlds—rigidly organized, timeless, often inescapable trancelike states of mind-body dislocation. These pathological dissociative structures reshape the life of the mind and of the body, requiring new clinical approaches to these phenomena.
