scholarly journals The Influence of the Grimm Tales on the Tale Textology of László Arany

Abstract László Arany's Eredeti népmesék (Authentic Folktales, 1862) is an iconic collection of folktales. The tales in this publication have been entrenched in the national identity as classic Hungarian folktales, and the narrative style of the tales has been established in the public consciousness as the narrative style of Hungarian folktales. The Arany family's collection of folktales ultimately had a similar function in Hungarian culture as the Kinder- und Hausmärchen of the Brothers Grimm had in Germany, but while the text formation of the Grimm tales had been thoroughly explored by philology, the Arany tales had not been accompanied by folkloristic interpretations or in-depth philological analyses. To László Arany, the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm were the ideal, which he indicated in his many theoretical writings as well as his role as a collector and editor of tales. To form the individual texts found in Eredeti népmesék, László Arany used the tale manuscripts transcribed by his mother and sister in the 1850s, modifying them considerably, primarily by employing stylistic devices, many of which can also be observed in the work of the Grimms. This essay examines the extent to which László Arany's editorial and text formation practices were determined by the textological practice developed by the Brothers Grimm, and ultimately the extent to which the stylistic ideals of fairy tales developed by the Grimms contributed to the development of the written, literary version of Hungarian folktales.

Media language is a prototype of the public consent for the media to be defined through compromise as a fourth position in the paradigm of power as a philosophical category, whose explications before the media are legislative, executive, judicial. The linguistic norm and the cognitive-rhetorical characteristic of the media discourse are the prototype of the metaphor of the "fourth power". The formation of the information-language culture and the preservation of the language norm is the high social responsibility of the media discourse. The media is a prototype of public consciousness, a “picture” of national identity – a unit of political and socio-economic information and cultural “taste” (a sample of art and its list).

Science is often perceived to be a self-correcting enterprise. In principle, the assessment of scientific claims is supposed to proceed in a cumulative fashion, with the reigning theories of the day progressively approximating truth more accurately over time. In practice, however, cumulative self-correction tends to proceed less efficiently than one might naively suppose. Far from evaluating new evidence dispassionately and infallibly, individual scientists often cling stubbornly to prior findings. Here we explore the dynamics of scientific self-correction at an individual rather than collective level. In 13 written statements, researchers from diverse branches of psychology share why and how they have lost confidence in one of their own published findings. We qualitatively characterize these disclosures and explore their implications. A cross-disciplinary survey suggests that such loss-of-confidence sentiments are surprisingly common among members of the broader scientific population yet rarely become part of the public record. We argue that removing barriers to self-correction at the individual level is imperative if the scientific community as a whole is to achieve the ideal of efficient self-correction.

AbstractThe narrative of authentic national identity, as being immutable, transcendent and endowed with sacrosanct qualities, has been inculcated into the public consciousness of every nation and constitutes an essential feature of one’s self-awareness in relation to the outside world. This proclivity for national exclusivity impedes the collective advancement of global civil society and undermines the ongoing efforts at forging effective democratic institutions of global governance.Indeed, many societies blindly heed to the message of national exceptionalism and pledge allegiance to the integrity of their imagined community without critically scrutinizing their belief and understanding its consequences. First, in this article I argue that the notion of authentic national identity is fictitious because the concept of national identity is always fluid and constantly reconstructed. Second, the international community is functioning in the state of cognitive dissonance and therefore must recognize that in the era of globalization, nationalism has exhausted its social utility and is becoming increasingly detrimental to the welfare of global civil society.

In the modern globalizing transforming world, regionalization processes are intensifying. Selfdetermination of the region is associated with the development of viable programs of socio-economic development. Important components of such a program can be concentrated in the regional text, which reflects the communicative specificity of regional everyday life and the nature of the interrelationships of the regional community with the outside world. Modern regional text is in its infancy. Fixing the key components of a regional culture as a form of being of a person and society established in certain space-time coordinates, it assumes a constant interpretation, undergoes deconstruction in accordance with the changes that occur at the state level and the world as a whole. In the conditions of modern transformation, well-organized communication strategies are of great importance in bifurcation points. It is obvious that such strategies should take into account the interests of the individual and society and should not contradict the general civilization processes. Regional texts carry the idea of organic integrity, unity of nature, man and society.This makes them popular in today's dynamic, unstable social space. However, the cognitive context of using locally rooted texts is expanding. Metaphorizing the world, they create ample opportunities for translocal identities. Keeping the identification potential of local texts, the regional text is open to innovation. In the modern risk-taking social space, it is important to develop a system of values aimed, first and foremost, at achieving human and social security. According to the authors of the article, this goal can be achieved provided the regional community understands the unique value of the local identity, as well as the geopolitical role and socio-economic functions of the region on a nationwide scale. The regional text as a set of cultural constants, fixed by the public consciousness as a significant semantic and ideological complex, has great potential that needs to be developed in order to optimize the existence of man and society.

The article considers the preconditions that contributed to the development of leisure activities for children with special educational needs in out-of-school educational institutions. The preconditions include: the formation in the public consciousness of the view on the importance of leisure as a sphere of self-realization of the individual; availability of a global international educational policy on positive and constructive approaches to the education of children with special educational needs; availability of historical experience in the development of models for providing education to such children in out-of-school education institutions; the presence of a community of democracies formed in the public consciousness regarding the humanistic paradigm of inclusive education; the influence of the national pedagogical heritage and the existence of an extensive network of out-of-school educational institutions at the time of Ukraine's independence. The inclusive model is defined as bringing together all participants in the educational process, including the gifted, the disabled, the socially maladapted, children from vulnerable places, children from poverty and destitution, children from national minorities and children from immigrants. It is proved that the inclusive paradigm is not aimed at adapting the individual to social, social, economic relations, but on the contrary to the restructuring of the entire system of mass education to meet the educational needs of children with special educational needs. This innovative approach promotes the development of leisure activities for children with special educational needs in out-of-school education institutions. The author's definition of the term "inclusive extracurricular education" is considered as an innovative paradigm of educational relations, which focuses on humane treatment of children with special educational needs, excludes any discrimination aimed at social inclusion of children in extracurricular educational space and their social communication.

In modern times, clarity about the definition of cultural identity that precedes national identity is increasingly sought, so the analysis of the work of Juridical Anthropology by Jose Manuel de Sacadura Rocha (2010) can help in this sense, through the understanding of what is defined about a Brazilian national identity. This is due to the conceptional understanding of the individual himself, and the analysis mentioned above occurs in the final part of the work from chapter 16. The demand for a definition of Brazilian national identity leads to an absence of belonging. In this way it is necessary to understand what the pejorative conception exists in the Brazilian society in which the citizen is inserted. In view of this, the aim of this article is to find grounds for the lack of recognition of "Being" within Brazilian society, starting from a differentiation between the public and private. The same is a descriptive bibliographical research. It is concluded that in Brazil the idea of the duty-to-be is predominant in relation to the idea of the duty of the being, being that the norm itself directs what should be. In this segment the right is imposed on the fragility of the social balance, the disobedience is born as a disguise to take from the man the spasm of servitude and subservience, seeking what really matters for "Being".

Based on the generalization of socio-cultural factors of social development in the period from 1918 to the mid-30s of the twentieth century and formed at that time educational models, values, ideals and worldviews revealed the essential features and main trends of the national educational space in totalitarianism. The semantic and structural features of the educational space in the 20-30s of the XX century have been analyzed, the general philosophical and sociocultural determinants of system transformations in all its dimensions have been substantiated. In particular, the consequences of unjustified, from the point of view of educational needs and available educational potential, expansion of territorial-subject dimension have been shown, when the increase in the number of educational institutions with new names did not give their actual growth and semantic diversification. Based on the analysis of party and government documents related to the problems of education, as well as philosophical and pedagogical works of this period revealed the specifics of the deployment of sign-symbolic dimension of educational space, which was to level the natural process of metatext, instead - artificial planting of texts with strong ideological direction. In the public consciousness, and hence in the textual space, there was a devaluation of established categories (personality, individuality, society, etc.), at the same time such concepts as "class", "team", "idea" gained weight. Collectivism, solidarity of interests and the priority of the collective over the individual, discipline and subordination over free will have been asserted. Significant changes have been established in the subjective dimension of the educational space: the idea of the inseparability of an exceptional, unique personality from society is gradually transformed into an indisputable statement about the "merger" of man with society by abandoning his/her own individuality. As a result, there was a shift of the individual to the denominator of the social, which from an important attributive characteristic of the individual has become the main goal, determinant and regulator of his/her life. And the recognition of the external determinism of all human actions has led to the "compression" of the educational space in its subjective dimension to the size of the environment.

The article analyses the position of the political elites of Poland and Hungary, who see the strengthening of European integration processes as a threat to national sovereignty and national identity. The authors link the emergence of interest to the problem of the crisis of national identity with the intensification of the activities of right-wing political parties and movements in these countries, which are trying to introduce the idea of right-wing populism into the public consciousness. The beliefs about the unity of society and the revival of traditional values form the basis of right-wing populist ideas. The methodological basis of the study was the comparative method and framing analysis. The comparative method allowed comparing the political rhetoric of the elites of Poland and Hungary, and with the help of framing analysis, the essence of the problem of the crisis of national identity was specified by highlighting its basic parameters. It is proved that the socio-political discourse around the problem of national identity has some differences in these countries. This is due to the historical and cultural background of these countries. It is emphasized that right-wing populist parties and movements offer certain ways to respond to the problem of loss of national sovereignty and national identity, namely the consolidation of society based on cultural and religious values, strong advocacy of state interests in the EU structures, pressure on the EU within the Visegrád Group, and others. The authors believe that the broad socio-political discourse on the problem of national identity is a manifestation of "identity politics". It aims to introduce desirable assessments of the political situation and to implement traditional collective values and vision into the public consciousness by right-wing populist political parties and movements.

The article examines the prospect of the formation of the Kazakhstani civil nation as a consequence of the process of implementing state programs in the field of interethnic relations, strategic planning of these processes in the context of the modernization of the public consciousness of Kazakhstani society. As the historical experience of the formation of nations shows, spiritual modernization actively influences the processes of changing the national consciousness of peoples. In this regard, the authors consider such aspects of the formation of national identity as national history, the idea of social harmony and peace as interrelated necessary foundations of modernization processes. Accordingly, on this basis it is necessary to form a national identity based on the principle of citizenship, which should be a consolidating moment for representatives of all ethnic groups and confessions. Therefore, the main thing from the point of view of the tasks set in the article is the study of the main directions of state policy in the field of the formation of a single nation, which is assumed to be one of the consequences of the spiritual revival of Kazakhstani society.
