In this article, the issue of structural individualisation, which is one of the results of social modernisation, is adopted as the subject-matter. In the processes of individualisation, it is, first and foremost, the importance of an individual human being and matters relevant to their life, including the obligation to make constant choices in all the aspects of life, that is placed emphasis upon. In the aspect of values, the process of individualisation means transfer from values seen as responsibilities (related to duties) to values connected with self-fulfilment (self-development). The consequence of individualisation is the significant changes in the realm of morality: departing from traditional moral values and standards, permissivism and moral relativism, the destruction of normativity, and the secularisation of morality. On the other hand, it creates the opportunity to determine one's own moral choices and shapean autonomous moral personality.

With far too many scholarly journals out there now, why launch yet another? Hurried readers may never recognize what THYMOS is about unless they get past the first word to what follows: Journal of Boyhood Studies. That may happen in quite a few cases at first, but we are convinced that once underway, THYMOS will take its place among the best interdisciplinary journals in English. Boys, we believe, have something to teach us about the body, sexuality, spirituality and the imagination and, for that reason, without wishing to be excessive, we want to emphasize our conviction that the subject matter of THYMOS—boys and boyhood—is central to everyone’s self-understanding as a human being in what will very soon be a thoroughgoing global culture.

Immersive Technology

Over the years educators have adopted a variety of technologies in a bid to improve student engagement, interest and understanding of abstract topics taught in the classroom. There has been an increasing interest in immersive technology such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). The ability of VR to bring ideas to life in three dimensional spaces in a way that is easy for students to understand the subject matter makes it one of the important tools available today for education. A key feature of VR is the ability to provide multi-sensory visuals and virtual interaction to students wearing a Head Mounted Display thus providing students better learning experience and connection to the subject matter. Virtual Reality has been used for training purposes in the health sector, military, workplace training, gamification and exploration of sites and countless others. With the potential benefits of virtual technology in visualizing abstract concepts in a realistic virtual world, this paper presents a plan to study the use of situated cognition theory as a learning framework to develop an immersive VR application that would be used to train and prepare students studying Telecommunications Engineering for the workplace. This paper presents a review of literature in the area of Virtual Reality in education, offers insight into the motivation behind this research and the planned methodology in carrying out the research.

The groups of problems that fall under the titles ‘reduction’ and ‘emergence’ appear at the boundaries of seemingly independent and well-established scientific disciplines, such as chemistry and biology, biology and psychology, biology and political theory, and so on. They arise in this way:1. There is a widespread intellectual ‘urge’ towards developing a common discourse for adjacent disciplinary practices such as biology and chemistry, biology and psychology, law and psychiatry. To achieve this goal a unified and coherent system of concepts would be required that would be adequate to describe and to explain the phenomena which are the subject matter of both disciplines.2. There is a discontinuity between the concepts native to each of the adjacent disciplines in that predications from each to a common subject such as a sample of a material substance, or a process or a human being, appear to be incompatible. For example to describe a certain reaction as ‘reducing’ and to describe it in terms of the quantum states of molecular orbitals is an incompatible predication. For example to say that a brain is thinking and that that brain is taking up glucose is an incompatible predication since the criteria for these assertions are radically different. Or, to say that a human being is ill and to say that a human being is malfunctioning is an incompatible predication, since the former requires the speaker to treat the human being as a person, and the latter as an organism. Just what these various differences amount to will be the main aim of this paper.

First, the use of “Soul” and “Dust” is briefly surveyed. Then the hymns are analysed in order to clarify the impact of the terms on Christology as the crucial element determining the subject-matter of his view on Divine Providence. The outcome of the analysis is that only through inclusion of the existence of the individual person into the destiny of Christ as our equal and brother in life, death and resurrection, the hard questions posed by human existence can be challenged by reference to a God characterized by omnipotence, omniscience, and supreme goodness.The omission of this Christological element, which in Grundtvig’s context is presented through the Preaching of the Gospel, granted the individual through Baptism, and continually maintained through The Lords Supper, would leave Divine Providence as idle talk or mere chance. Finally a modification of the concept of complementarity is used as a means to clarify the term Christian Hope as the liberating potentiality in Grundtvig’s ideas about Divine Providence.

The Subject

This article traces the development of postmodern spaces in psychology and its wider culture through a consideration of new forms of virtual reality represented in science fiction writing. Psychology is a thoroughly modern discipline which rests upon the fantasy of observing behaviour directly. Recently, however, postmodern debates in the discipline have drawn attention to the construction of behaviour and experience in language organized through discourse. A correlative shift toward a postmodern sensitivity to language has also occurred in the neighbouring discipline of psychoanalysis, and discourse analysis thus provides the opportunity to link these two hitherto divided approaches to subjectivity. It is argued that discourse analysis combined with psychoanalysis can be employed to comprehend changes in culture which are anticipated and expressed in science fiction. Psychoanalytic theory is used alongside discourse analysis to read the film Total Recall and stories by Philip K. Dick. The analytic device of the ‘discursive complex’ is used to draw out patterns of meaning that structure the text. It is argued that this form of analysis is particularly appropriate to the subject matter, and to the new forms of subjectivity that necessarily escape the gaze of modern psychology. Virtual reality understood by way of a psychoanalytic discourse reading is able to make explicit the forms of subjectivity that inhabit varieties of postmodern space.

The article offers means of defining the features of the hero as a structure of the musical text of pieces from the children’s repertoire. Since any kind of artistic text is created in accordance with unified semantics-bearing laws, the category of the musical hero is examined along with such categories of poetics as the author, the protagonist, the image, the dialogue, the scene, the subject matter, the idea, which, nonetheless, up to now have continued to be relegated to the sphere of metaphors. Nonetheless, the description of the features of the hero on the basis of intonational lexis of various types of etymology is seen as presenting its result. Demonstration of the indicated features incorporates a particular mechanism of semantic analysis, which makes it possible to elucidate the lexical structures manifesting the hero. Semantic analysis has shown that the category of the hero is presented in the musical text structurally; it may be described both as a biologically definite being and a socially concrete personality. Moreover, pieces from the children’s repertoire are endowed with the capacity of manifesting the personified hero who represents living nature. The attributing of the hero also sees the participation of the heading, which, nonetheless, does not always indicate the hero directly. However, the heading always (whether directly or indirectly) depicts the hero’s place of action and the world surrounding him.The hero receives his attribution most often in musical speech and in plastic models. Besides the “audible” and “visible” attributes, the hero in an artistic text is also actualized through the features of evaluative character: with their help the author, who is situated “off-screen,” endows the hero with the biological and characterological features of a human being. Study of musical content from the point of view of the categories of musical poetics may make the interaction of the analytical aspect with performance practice more effectual and productive. At the same time, the various approaches to the art of performance shall inevitably acquire new features which bring the performer’s activities in the questions of articulation and intonation closer with dramatic art.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
