It has been shown in the article that the negative medianity is that theoretical concept, which, on the one hand, shows the clinical picture of each particular case of a pandemic, and, on the other hand, it takes into account the socio-cultural, economic-geographical and other specific circumstances of the emergence of the pandemic.It has been found out that cases of the negative medianity can be represented in the horizons of language games by L. Wittgenstein. The essence of mosaic pandemics has been characterized through the concept of language games, firstly, by a certain set of concepts (verbal cut), secondly, by a certain set of actions for the diagnosis and counteraction of a pandemic (nonverbal cut), thirdly, by a certain compendium of the rules to be followed (normative cut), and fourthly, by some uncertainty as it is impossible to predict how pandemic will end (a cut of uncertainty).A semiotic approach to the study of the phenomenon of the pandemic has been suggested. It has been shown that the semiotic approach to the study of the pandemic contains, on the one hand, the stratagems of a medical semiotic, which consists of general and private parts, and on the other hand, it consists of semiotics as a humanitarian and interdisciplinary research direction.It has been found out that the semiotic structure of the pandemic should take into account three levels which predict each other mutually.It has been shown in the article that the concept of «extreme situation» is based on the non-classical understanding of the situation, which involves the presence of several aspects: problems, shocks, choices, boundaries and mood. It has been proved that the features of the pandemic as an extreme situation are: negligence, danger, extra ordinariness, stress, non-adaptation. The three layers of the extreme situation have been revealed (empirical, containing a number of moments: occurrence, vital safety, marginality, reality and potentialities of consequences; formal-psychological, reactive, personal, interactive, transactional points of view; meta psychological or ontological or existential-axiological, which in its turn includes three points of view: meta-psychological, ontological and existential-axiological).It has been shown that the antagonism of entropy and negentropy in the framework of the humanity-environment system is mutually exclusive and is rooted in the fundamental binary opposition of «order / chaos». And in the modern post-classical world this requires the search for new dialogues between humanity and the environment.

The study To Publish, Make Known and Sell is based on verified existence of competition tensions between the 15th century typographers/publishers, related to the absence of functional regulatory tools of book production of the incunabula period. The increase in the number of book-printers within the relatively narrow geographical area, disregard of publishers’ privileges, the emergence of pirated reprints, as well as insufficient self-promotion on the book market through introducing novelties had concentrated typographers’ attention on devising new tools of securing their triumph in publisher’s competition – the so called book advertisements. The author has analysed 44 promotional posters of the incunabula period from several points of view and attempted to identify their design elements, which on the one hand showed signs of certain standardization, while on the other hand they were subject to personal creativity of their creator. She gives detailed overview of the circumstances of the origin, typographic design and contents of book advertisements of several kinds within the context of promoting either the existing or planned editions, of one edition or a group of books; specifically focusing on the unique types of advertising. In conclusion, the author cites the circumstances of the extinction of book advertisements related to the rise of the new promotional tool – booksellers’ catalogue and submits a bibliography of the book advertisements dating from the 15th century.

The article explores the typological principles and genesis of narrative thinking of Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989). It reveals the paradoxical nature of his writing, which combines, on the one hand, archetypal structures, implied ‘genre memory’, and on the other hand, a unique, innovative style. Bernhard’s constructive principle is repetition, which allows the embodiment of the idea of «eternal return» (Eliade) throughout the poetical structure, whether it is a sacred event of a myth or an «obsessive repetition» (Freud) of the traumatic memories of the protagonist or the narrator. The fragmented world is under constant reorganizing with the help of Bernhard’s polyphonic writing, which finds itself mostly in the imitation of the non-figurative, purely expressive, self-referential «art of fugue» (Bach), oriented to the cyclic, rather than linear-historical concept of time. In contrast to the literary interpretation of the «polyphonic novel» (Bakhtin) with its coexistence of multiple points of view, our attention is shifted to the musicological interpretation of the fugue’s polyphony as the embodied idea of the continuity of time, the closeness and infinity of the divine universe.

Resum: Aquest article analitza la polèmica generada en la premsa valenciana l’any 1961 entre Joan Fuster i Josep M. Bayarri, arran del cinquantenari de la mort de Teodor Llorente. Mentre que Fuster reclama un debat intel·lectual al voltant del líder de la Renaixença valenciana i, de retop, dels referents propis, Bayarri en té prou amb commemoracions i celebracions, com misses, lectures de poemes o articles de diari. Aquest enfrontament dialèctic amaga dues maneres totalment oposades d’entendre el valencianisme de postguerra: d’una banda, un valencianisme que proposa l’autocrítica i la reflexió; d’una altra, un valencianisme o «regionalisme» irracional, de caire sentimentalista i antiintel·lectual. L’article analitza, doncs, el posicionament i l’abast de la defensa de Llorente per part d’aquests dos autors.Paraules clau: Teodor Llorente, Joan Fuster, Josep M. Bayarri, valencianisme, postguerra..Abstract: This paper analyses the controversy that Joan Fuster and Josep M. Bayarri create on the Valencian press in 1961, as a result of the fifty years after Teodor Llorente’s death. Whereas Fuster demands an intellectual discussion about the leader of the Renaixença in Valencia and the Valencian writers, Bayarri settles for commemorations and celebrations, masses, poetry readings or journal articles about him. This dialectic confrontation conceals two totally opposed ways of understanding the Valencianism of the postwar period. On the one hand, there is a Valencianism that proposes a self-criticism and a reflection; on the other hand, we find a Valencianism or an irrational «regionalism» that is sentimentalist and anti-intellectual. Therefore, this essay analyses the points of view about Llorente made by these two authors.Keywords: Teodor Llorente, Joan Fuster, Josep M. Bayarri, Valencianism, postwar period.

A few remarks on the contrastive analysis of styleThe phenomenon of style, analysed from different points of view, has been presented in this article. On the one hand, connections between stylistics and pragmalinguistics with the psychological profile of the sender have been indicated. Janusz Reykowski’s distinction of the five levels of centralisation, included in his publications, has turned out to be most useful in the pragmalinguistic analysis while describing the locutionary act, including the stylistic phenomena. On the other hand, though, a question about thepossibility and limits of the reflection of style in translation has been asked, using the text example in a German-Polish pair, and working out the criteria of evaluation. In the conclusion of the article the author is postulating the formation of a German-Polish contrastive stylistics.

This article develops the theoretical concept of critical media practices. Critical media practices are characterised by two aspects: 1) In critical media practices actors reflect on routines relating to media (as organisations, content, or technologies) and/or on the meta processes mediatisation, digitisation or datafication. 2) On the basis of this reflection actors develop alternative routines in their media practices and shape processes of mediatisation, digitisation or datafication. Critical media practices aim at influencing society and are therefore always political. Conceptualizing the term critical media practices, this article on the one hand contributes to further developing media practices as an approach in communication and media studies, on the other hand, it adds to general debates on critique in this field.

The paper analyses, in the context of Dragojla Jarnević’s Diary, the concept of democratism from the authoress’ viewpoint of the world regarding the liberal values that represent foundation of democracy. Considering the problems related to the issue of contemporary democracies eminent intellectuals of the 20th and 21st century have expressed a line of doubts and objections, thereby threatening the concept of democracy, or twisting democracy in its own contradictions. In retrospect, during Dragojla Jarnević’s lifetime and work, there was an evident complexity and ambivalence of disseminating liberal ideas in the area of today´s Croatia. Shaping and expressing of Dragojla Jarnević’s democratic views shows that it is possible to interpret democracy from different points of view – on the one hand, it is the best social model, on the other hand, it sometimes transforms in its contradiction. Certain contradictions are observed in Jarnević’s personality, however, her personality eventually reveals a brave and democratic (literature) subject.

AbstractWe study products of irreducible theta divisors from two points of view. On the one hand, we characterize them as normal subvarieties of abelian varieties such that a desingularization has holomorphic Euler characteristic $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}1$. On the other hand, we identify them up to birational equivalence among all varieties of maximal Albanese dimension. We also describe the structure of varieties $X$ of maximal Albanese dimension, with holomorphic Euler characteristic $1$ and irregularity $2\dim X-1$.

The development of industry and commerce in Wales during the Middle Ages may be regarded from two points of view. On the one hand we are concerned with the gradual decay of the commerce carried on by the inhabitants of the western regions of tribal Britain, and on the other hand with the development of the national commerce of the modern Principality.

Technical innovation and institutional innovation are indispensable to the development of enterprises. From different points of view, different schools of thought have different theories on the relationship between technical innovation and institutional innovation. What is the relationship between them? Which is more important? Based on the fact that technical innovation and institutional innovation are interactive and have dynamic contradictions, this essay probes into this kind of relationship. On the one hand, technical innovation is the base and motive of institutional innovation. It both supports and restricts the institutional innovation. On the other hand, institutional innovation guides, supports and protects the technical innovation. In view of this, the essay proposes that technical innovation should be regarded as a decisive factor to push forward and decide the change and innovation of institution and make a reality interactive and coupling relationship between them.
