This study presents an analytical probe into the field of beverage culture as it was cultivated in the late 15th and early 16th century at the courts of the descendants of the Polish‑Lithuanian ruler Casimir IV († 1492) of the Jagiellonian dynasty: the Czech and Hungarian king Vladislaus († 1516), his son, the Czech and Hungarian king Louis († 1526), and then his brothers, the Polish king John Albert († 1501), the grand duke of Lithuania and later also the Polish king Alexander († 1506) and the future Polish‑Lithuanian ruler (the then Duke of Opava and Głogów and the governor of Silesia and Lusatia) Sigismund († 1548). The starting point of the research was a comprehensive analysis of rare, preserved account books kept at the courts of these monarchs. This study describes the various types of beverages consumed (especially wine and beer) both in the social and geographic context. In addition, it also includes the sphere of consumers‘ taste preferences.

ResumoEste ensaio tem como ponto de partida o reconhecimento de que o mundo contemporâneo se encontra numa situação de ambivalência, entre perigos e possibilidades, que não só desafiam o presente como equacionam o futuro. O desporto e o gesto desportivo, como fenômenos que resultam dos contextos em que são produzidos, encontram-se necessariamente nessa ambiguidade. Partindo das Epistemologias do Sul, enquanto proposta de resgate de dimensões epistêmicas e humanas ausentes do espaço hegemônico, e apresentadas como alternativas ao esgotamento da modernidade, propõe-se uma análise crítica das dinâmicas sociais do desporto, através da operacionalizando dos conceitos de sociologia das ausências e de sociologia das emergências, sugerindo a emergência de outro desporto que vá ao encontro da perspectiva da motricidade humana na assunção da complexidade e da transcendência do gesto desportivo.Palavras-chave: Epistemologias do Sul.

Corpo.In search of absent movements for emerging motricities: the relationship between Epistemologies of the South and Human MotricityAbstractThis essay has as its starting point the recognition that the contemporary world is in a situation of ambivalence, between dangers and possibilities, which not only challenge the present but also equate the future. Sport and sporting gesture, as phenomena that result from the contexts in which they are produced, are necessarily in this ambiguity. Starting from the Epistemologies of the South, as a proposal to rescue epistemic and human dimensions absent from the hegemonic space, and presented as alternatives to the exhaustion of modernity, a critical analysis of the social dynamics of sport is proposed through the operationalization of the concepts of sociology of absences and sociology of emergencies, suggesting the emergence of another sport that meets the perspective of human motricity, assuming the complexity and transcendence of the sporting gesture.Keywords: Epistemologies of the South.

This article is a socio-philosophical rethinking of an extraordinary approach to social hope creation. A newlook at the future is described as a messenger of a future social change. Creativity in designing the future is seenas going to the brink of the possible and impossible of social perspective transformation. As a result, the studyis based on a comprehensive analysis of social hope, which includes all aspects of creation and transformationof social space.The author reveals an understanding of the future existence through a convincing reflection of realityand a culture of perspective change. A designer can use constructive creativity when creating social hopes.Consequently, a dialog design becomes the basis for creative transformation of the present and future.The article analyzes the conflict between hard and soft infrastructure of the desired social space. This conflictis resolved by reflection of the design deviations’ safety in the future. The author approaches resolution of thecontradiction between creativity and organization in soft infrastructure. This process is based on supervisionitself. It is a socially acceptable way of creating social hope on individual level.The study describes a new level of dialogue between man and nature in creating social hope. The developmentof cyberbionics expands the horizons of vision and understanding of the future, which will give hope for a newquality of life in the future. This area of scientific research forms an innovative image of person of the future,and raises the question of its reliability, safety and humanity. The actual projection of the future denies man’s roleof being the author of his life. The visionaries of hope are oriented toward objectification of all the participantsin future social relations, except for themselves. Such project creativity is dangerous for the social world andrequires new measures to harmonize social relations.Creativity is a protest against existing phenomena in human life. A creative person offers his own versionof the future, which is opposite to the present. Consequently, creative hope can be seen as a manifestation ofanarchism, where each designer of the future has a part of his power over it. This ideology is transferred to thearrangement of the future social space. It is based on a harmonious combination of individual and collective witha creative approach to designing the future.

Abstract The architectural innovations are becoming more and more important in the economic and social development and in the quality improvement of people’s lives. Sometimes, however, the implementation of innovative projects can lead to negative consequences. The development of any innovation should be based on a comprehensive analysis of their implementation’s consequences. Therefore, developing a responsible of the future architects’ attitude to innovations is extremely important for achieving a qualitatively new level of training of future architects to ensure sustainable development. This article presents the results of a research that investigated the social values of future architects and their attitude towards innovation.

Abstract. Background: Suicide can have a lasting impact on the social life as well as the physical and mental health of the bereaved. Targeted research is needed to better understand the nature of suicide bereavement and the effectiveness of support. Aims: To take stock of ongoing studies, and to inquire about future research priorities regarding suicide bereavement and postvention. Method: In March 2015, an online survey was widely disseminated in the suicidology community. Results: The questionnaire was accessed 77 times, and 22 records were included in the analysis. The respondents provided valuable information regarding current research projects and recommendations for the future. Limitations: Bearing in mind the modest number of replies, all from respondents in Westernized countries, it is not known how representative the findings are. Conclusion: The survey generated three strategies for future postvention research: increase intercultural collaboration, increase theory-driven research, and build bonds between research and practice. Future surveys should include experiences with obtaining research grants and ethical approval for postvention studies.

The article examines trends in voting preferences and voting behavior of Turkish-origin German voters. Despite only representing a small percentage of the total German electorate, Turkish-origin voters are gaining an opportunity to shape the future political landscape. While the Social Democrats have benefited most directly from the minority constituency so far, this author suggests that the Green Party is poised to attract the younger, better educated, and German-born segment of the Turkish-origin voters. All other dominant national parties have ignored this emerging voting bloc, and missed opportunities to appeal to Turkish-origin voters by disregarding community-specific interests.

Friedrich Nietzsche's influence on Isadora Duncan's work, in particular his idea of the Dionysian, has been widely discussed, especially in regard to her later work. What has been left underdeveloped in critical examinations of her work, however, is his influence on her earlier choreographic work, which she defended in a famous speech held in 1903 called The Dance of the Future. While commentators often describe this speech as ‘Nietzschean’, Duncan's autobiography suggests that she only studied Nietzsche's work after this speech. I take this incongruity as a starting point to explore the connections between her speech and Nietzsche's work, in particular his Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I argue that in subject and language Duncan's speech resembles Nietzsche's in important ways. This article will draw attention to the ways in which Duncan takes her cues from Nietzsche in bringing together seemingly conflicting ideas of religion and an overturning of morality; Nietzsche's notion of eternal recurrence and the teleology present in his idea of the Übermensch; and a renegotiation of the body's relation to the mind. In doing so, this article contributes not only to scholarship on Duncan's early work but also to discussions of Nietzsche's reception in the early twentieth century. Moreover, the importance Duncan ascribes to the body in dance and expression also asks for a new understanding of Nietzsche's own way of expressing his philosophy.

As a renowned jurist first and then as a top politician, Thomas More has never given up researching about a judicial system where all the fields of justice would be harmonized around a comprehensive logic. From criminal law to divine providence, Utopia, despite its eccentricities, proposes a coherent model of Christian-inspired collective living, based on a concern for social justice, something that was terribly neglected during the early 16th century English monarchy. Not only did History prove many of More’s intuitions right, but above all, it gave legitimacy to the utopian genre in its task of imagining the future progress of human justice and of contributing to its coming.

By the time of his death in 1827, the image of Beethoven as we recognise him today was firmly fixed in the minds of his contemporaries, and the career of Liszt was beginning to flower into that of the virtuosic performer he would be recognised as by the end of the 1830s. By analysing the seminal artwork Liszt at the Piano of 1840 by Josef Danhauser, we can see how a seemingly unremarkable head-and-shoulders bust of Beethoven in fact holds the key to unlocking the layers of commentary on both Liszt and Beethoven beneath the surface of the image. Taking the analysis by Alessandra Comini as a starting point, this paper will look deeper into the subtle connections discernible between the protagonists of the picture. These reveal how the collective identities of the artist and his painted assembly contribute directly to Beethoven’s already iconic status within music history around 1840 and reflect the reception of Liszt at this time. Set against the background of Romanticism predominant in the social and cultural contexts of the mid 1800s, it becomes apparent that it is no longer enough to look at a picture of a composer or performer in isolation to understand its impact on the construction of an overall identity. Each image must be viewed in relation to those that preceded and came after it to gain the maximum benefit from what it can tell us.

The book “In search of explanations about African words: an investigation in some Brazilian dictionaries and / or glossaries (1889-2006)” raises controversial and relevant questions about the usefulness of Africanism for Brazil and the delimitation between Afro-Brazilian and africanists studies. The work is one of the results of the work that the author has been developing throughout his long and rich academic life. The author shows enthusiasm for the study of Brazilian Africanism, especially in what concerns on the relationships that are established between words and culture.It shows the participation of African languages in the constitution of the Brazilian Portuguese lexicon, since it considers that studies in this area have been taking place very slowly. Therefore, this work intends to promote the production of future researches that discuss about the social place of African words in Brazilian Portuguese. It makes a point of which we should have no doubt in affirming - unequivocally and systematically - that one can speak of Brazilian Africanism. It takes as a starting point the analysis of dictionaries and glossaries (1889-2006), while taking a retrospective look.It reflects, with such observation, about what is classified as Africanism in the Brazilian Portuguese lexicon. It suggests the need to draw a line between Afro-Brazilian and Africanists studies. Finally, it is expected that such a work can bring new look and perspectives. It is even verified that, in his text, there is a lot of work for everyone. That´s why this work in this book is considered by the author as a singular value.

Based on fieldwork carried out from 2017 and 2018, this article examines various attempts to both organize publicly and disrupt such attempts during the Iranian protests during that time. It argues that interference with spatial realities influenced the social coalitions built during the protests, impacting the capacity of actors to build such coalitions. The post-2009 adaptation of the state inhibited cross-class coalitions despite being challenged, while actors used spatial phrasing indicating they perceived spatial divisions to emulate political ones. Meanwhile, in the immediate aftermath of the December 2017 protests, further attempts to control protest actions impacted not only those who would be able to participate in such events in the future, but also those who felt represented by them and who would be likely to sympathize with them. Based on the spatial conditions under which coalitions form, I argue that asymmetrical contestations of spatiality determined the outcome of the December 2017 protests and may contribute to an understanding of how alliances in Iran will form in the future.
