The travel diary has its origin in world-wide research and teaching contacts. The history of the phenomenological movement is completed by global geography. Intercultural relations have regard to philosophy, science, art, religion and everyday life. Famous names turn up like Boulez, Derrida, Levinas or Ricœur. Authors like Joyce, Kafka Proust and Kierkegaard appear in their home environment. There are trips crossing the black Harlem. One meets traces of war and violence in the streets of Sarajevo or Bogotà and at the memorial places of Auschwitz, Kaunas or Kiev. The margins of Europe are reached in Istanbul, Tbilisi, Tunis and Jerusalem. The author is an international known phenomenologist.

The article strives to restore historical impression of the Turkish cities Trabzon and Samson located on the Anatolian littoral of the Black Sea and episodes of their daily life during the period of National Struggle for liberation and independence under the leadership of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasha on the base of Mikhail Frunze’s travel diary “A Trip to Angora” («Поездка в Ангору») and Silver Age artist Eugene Lansere’s travel diary “Summer in Angora” («Лето в Ангоре»). Frunze visited Trabzon and Samsun in November-December, 1921 during his journey to Ankara and once again in January, 1922 en route back to Russia from Ankara. Lansere also visited Trabzon and Samsun in June, 1922 during his journey to Ankara and repeatedly passed Trabzon in October of the same year, going home to Russia from Turkey. Both Frunze and Lansere became direct eye-witnesses of these cities’ everyday lives during the days of National Struggle in Turkey. Moreover, in their travel diaries they narrated valuable data regarding everyday life, roadsteads, economics, and their meetings with Turkish officials in those cities. Travel diaries of Mikhail Frunze and Eugene Lansere supplement each other in a very precise way, restoring impressions of Trabzon and Samsun. We provide here Eugene Lansere's sketches of the Persian camel caravan in Trabzon, his sketch of passengers and cargo transportation from steamships to the shore in Samsun, while a drawing of wooden barge can serve an additional visual source to Frunze’s records on Trabzon and Samsun.

An Englishman in-between Two Worlds: Robert Bargrave’s Travel through East-Central Europe, 1652-1653 The article discusses a journey of a young Englishman Robert Bargrave (1628-1661), who in the early 1650s travelled from Constantinople to England. The travel diary recording this journey reflects Bargrave’s keen interest in the customs, everyday life and languages as well as natural conditions and economy of the places he visited and shows that he tried to place it in a wider context. As a result, closer analysis of this text gives us an excellent opportunity to examine the picture of East -Central Europe as seen by a mid-seventeenth century Englishman and the way he perceived it in relation to both the Ottoman Empire and Western Europe.

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.

Two distinct spatial metaphors for the passage of time can produce disparate judgments about grieving. Under the object-moving metaphor, time seems to move past stationary people, like objects floating past people along a riverbank. Under the people-moving metaphor, time is stationary; people move through time as though they journey on a one-way street, past stationary objects. The people-moving metaphor should encourage the forecast of shorter grieving periods relative to the object-moving metaphor. In the present study, participants either received an object-moving or people-moving prime, then read a brief vignette about a mother whose young son died. Participants made affective forecasts about the mother’s grief intensity and duration, and provided open-ended inferences regarding a return to relative normalcy. Findings support predictions, and are discussed with respect to interpersonal communication and everyday life.

Mental contrasting of a desired future with present reality leads to expectancy-dependent goal commitments, whereas focusing on the desired future only makes people commit to goals regardless of their high or low expectations for success. In the present brief intervention we randomly assigned middle-level managers (N = 52) to two conditions. Participants in one condition were taught to use mental contrasting regarding their everyday concerns, while participants in the other condition were taught to indulge. Two weeks later, participants in the mental-contrasting condition reported to have fared better in managing their time and decision making during everyday life than those in the indulging condition. By helping people to set expectancy-dependent goals, teaching the metacognitive strategy of mental contrasting can be a cost- and time-effective tool to help people manage the demands of their everyday life.
