Both for Karol Wojtyła, the future Pope John Paul II, and Józef Tischner, freedom is a key matter. However, freedom must be e x p e r i e n c e d ; it is not revealed in objective metaphysics or in science.For Wojtyła, it is an experience of the moral a c t : freedom is a condition and in-gredient of the moral act and responsibility for it. It enters into the composition of the essential structure of the person, which means “self-restraint,” or shaping oneself through free choices. Freedom has the power to create man through itself: referring to others in morality, I at the same time refer to myself, deciding who I will be. This existential weight of freedom – responsibility for oneself before others, God, and oneself – is the price of freedom which, let us add, is inevitable. Even the rejection of freedom or resignation from it is still an expression of freedom. For Wojtyła, freedom shapes man through an instinc-tive, completely not induced reference to the truth about values. However, in this reference and in acting the subject is dependent only on itself. The weight of the action, whose truth we decipher in our conscience, is what most impresses Wojtyła. The lack of a need for the concept of grace in this vision is striking. The subject is independent, autonomous, and thus responsible. With regards to this point, Wojtyła is close to Thomism and its respect for the innateness of creation.For Tischner, freedom is key and is also an innate value that is experienced. Its essence is above all freeing, liberating; thus Tischner does not hesitate to discern it in extra-moral phenomena such as dancing, which liberates beauty, and even extra-human ones, such as the beauty of an elk jumping across a brook. Beauty and good require freedom. However, the true liberation of freedom is opening oneself to the freedom of the other in encoun-ter, as thanks to this I can enter into a relationship of love and fidelity; I can s a c r i f i c e myself and through this fulfill the highest act of freedom, an act that is not induced by pre-established responsibility for the other, as in Levinas’ philosophy. Although it is not induced, this act assumes in an essential way the relationality of the subject and at the same time its finiteness.

In explaining the nature of international law, each of the two major schools of thought draws upon legal philosophy and practice for evidence in support of its interpretation. It is not the purpose of this note to offer any conclusions or proofs as to the validity of the reasoning of one or the other of the two schools. It would require more than the subject-matter here considered to prove the “Monist” position, or to detract from that of the “Dualist.” However, inasmuch as state practice is one of the guides to the resolution of the debate on the nature of international law, it is hoped that an explanation of the attitude of the Colombian Supreme Court concerning the relationship of pacta to the national constitution and legislation of that state may merit mention.

This paper aims to study the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on employee’s performance. Employees obviously work for the organization for monetary benefits but these monetary compensations and rewards are not the sole requirement of all employees. Some of them need salary increment and bonuses to get themselves motivated while others need recognition and non-monetary benefits. The study was aimed to discuss how the extrinsic and intrinsic motivation can hinder or increase the motivation level of employees. Several motivational theories have also been discussed in this paper that helps in better understanding of why and how employees are motivated. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is said to have significant impact on employee’s performance.  Our study examined 60 female and 143 male respondents (n=203) of banking sector to study the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on employee’s performance. There was a positive relationship of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of employees with their performance. With the increase in intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, employee’s performance tends to increase as well. We also have discussed some of the future directions and recommendations so that it can help future researchers to study the other constructs that can affect employee’s performance.

This essay presents two interviews with Dario Argento, one conducted by Élie Castiel and the other by Stephane Derderian. In the Castiel interview, Argento talks about early influences on his career; his approach to every film; eroticism and sadism as well as the question of voyeurism in his work; the importance of objects in the genre films that he has made; and the future of horror films. In the Derderian interview, Argento shares his thoughts on the bloodiness in Deep Red; what the subject of visual memory that often comes up in his films such as The Bird with the Crystal Plumage represent for him; the place of homosexuality in his films; why people who see his films don't look for a suspect as much as they look for a truth; the psychology of the murderer vs. the psychology of the investigator in his films; and the presence of the world of painting in Deep Red, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, and The Stendhal Syndrome.

One of the intersections of the video games and cinema industry is the subject of adaptation. There are many productions adapted from movies to video games or from video games to movies. In this study, it is aimed to define the response of the films adapted from video games on the audience side. The audience and the actor are part of these adapted productions, their location plays a role in shaping the future of these productions, in this context the results obtained in this study are valuable in terms of expressing the potential of these productions. In this study, two different methods were used to achieve objective results; Online survey with 11 professionals in the cinema industry and cinema education, an analysis of the data collected from the criticism sites on www.imdb.com and www.metascore.com, and the comments of registered users. With the analysis of these comments obtained from the audience, the focus of the audience has been determined, and with the answers given by the people who have received cinema education or professionals who are professional in the cinema sector, information has been provided on both the foresight and the situation in it. These methods are analyzed within themselves and in the conclusion part, the results of the two methods are combined. As a result, it is that the audience evaluates these films without separating them from the game and they wish that this cooperation will continue to develop and continue. It has been determined that failed film samples are not decisive for video games. Although the audience thinks that this genre will develop, more successful results will be achieved, it has been understood that the feeling of being active in the game is more dominant to the feeling of being passive in the movie. It was seen that the relationship of the audience with the films was video game centered, and the emotions he felt in the game and the details of the game were also looked for in the inner structure of the film.

The article argues for the key strategic line in giftedness development to be the support of a child’s formation as the subject of his/her own life. Therefore the fundamental research tasks are to be the development and testing of the projective giftedness formation models based on subjectivity practices and the subsequent evaluation of the effectiveness of these models. The author analyses available theoretic conceptions of giftedness to propose a general methodological framework opening the subjectivity perspective. The particular focus is on the abilities of philosophic substantialism, on the one hand, and personality oriented anthropologic conceptions, on the other, to solve the problem of giftedness conceived as a phenomenon of subjectivity.

On the basis of the preceding argument, the author posits that the emergence of a new emergent virtual understanding of the individual, has brought us to the absolute limit of the normalizing complex. This vision of the subject as a virtual entity indicates a growing awareness of the presence of an existential uniqueness, or Otherness (born out of normalization’s inherent allusion to the Other as what lies beyond the norms), in everyone’s life that challenges the attempts at conceiving the social body in terms of normality. This has implications that are as yet undefined for our current legal system that has developed thus far in relation to the dynamics of normalization. Faced with the expansion of Otherness in our society, the author intimates that we may be forced to rethink the structure of our legal discourse, and imagine new foundations for the future of democracy and politics.

Balabanov’s Morphine is concerned with cultural memory conceived as a continuum; not as identity but rather subjectivity in construction. The concepts relates to Badiou’s study of subjectivity. It determines existence in a world where the horizon of knowledge is always disappearing and is never available to us in its integrity whereby the subject is barred from the infinite. Different directions and speeds of movement generate the transcendental subject in that the subject is in relation to the variations of the lived. One of such states implies a continuum, or becoming without determination, whilst the other, refers to the imperative to construct knowledge out of the elements of the continuum. Such assemblages, rituals and rites allow the subject to access the ‘beyond’, a different realm, where the elements of the past are positioned towards the future. The transcendence of the subject is coded as an unstoppable flow of imagery—a hallucination—divided into sequences by reiterations and references to the cultural discourse: an introspective vision produces not self-organisation but self-destruction as the subject becomes aware of its own infiniteness. I showcase how Balabanov’s Morphine captures the brutality of such openings and the self-annihilating impact of nothingness.

Opening ParagraphThe future of the Bantu languages in South Africa is a question often discussed both by Europeans interested in them and by thinking Natives who use them. The ideas and views expressed on this question are extremely varied, for the subject has its economic and political aspects as well as its natural and cultural aspects, and to-day there is a tendency, particularly among the educated and semi-educated Natives, to stress the economic and political at the expense of the other aspects.

The work described in this paper is based, very largely, on the work of Dean and Webb (1926), and the methods used in the various experiments are similar to those described by them. The results are discussed in two parts. The first is concerned with the mixture of different specimens of anti-horse serum, and with the relationship of the antibody in one specimen to the antibody in another. The second part deals with the nature of the reaction between antigen and antibody in the serum precipitation reaction. The two parts are dependent on each other, and the subject of the second suggested itself whilst the work on the first was in progress. The order in which the work is described is mostly that in which it was done. Nevertheless, conclusions arrived at in one part are, in one or two cases, of importance in the consideration of the other part, and vice versa. A question as to the possibility of strengthening the ratio of an antiserum by the addition of another antiserum led to the earlier experiments.
