This article presents through selected passages the role played in Imperial Poetry by the theme venatio within a panegyrical or satirical discourse. It will offer a brief definition as well as a summary of the historical development of the venationes, considered as official spectacles in the arena in which wild animals fought with each other or were chased. The difference between venatio and cynegetic in poetry will also be discussed. Hence, the political importance of these spectacles will be clarified. The aim is thus an exposition of how different authors deal with this phenomenon in a positive or negative way, and show how poetry that thematizes the venatio partly through philosophical concepts proves itself as a suitable medium for this kind of representation. Some passages from Calpurnius Siculus’ seventh ecloga, and Martial’s Liber spectaculorum will play a central role, as well as some epigrams from his liber primus, Statius’ Silva, 2, 5, and finally, some passage from Juvenal’s fourth and tenth Saturae.

Language is a tool used to convey ideas, ideas, feelings, and thoughts to others. Language, which is an arbiter sound symbol system that is used by members of one community to work together, interact, and identify themselves. In other words, language can be a means to convey intent or purpose so that the desired thing is achieved. As a communication tool, language develops over time. Therefore, language will never die if its speakers still care and love for the language comparative linguistics as a study or study of language which includes the comparison of cognate languages or the historical development of a language. This research aims to elucidate the use of Indonesian language at students of Iqra Buru University with Comparative Analysis. The method used in this research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data collected by observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Sources of data in this study were 5 speakers 5 speakers language Analyzing the data by means of data selection, data classification, and data presentation.

The issue of national diversity is considered one of the most important points in studying the development of political systems in our time. Many scholars and researchers have noticed that there is rarely a people or nation in the world today that does not possess different national or ethnic diversity, some of which succeed in forcibly obliterating them, which leads to its ignition and the division of nations and states. (As happened in the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, the Eight State, the Empire of Austria-Hungary, etc.) and as it will happen in the future in other repressive countries, no matter how long their repression takes, and some of them succeed in preserving them through assimilation and understanding, as happened in Switzerland and a few other countries. While there are countries that have been striving for decades to arrange their national situations (such as India, Belgium and Spain), with varying degrees of success. The element of national diversity sometimes plays an active role in reforming the political system, and at other times this national diversity hinders the entire political reform. On the basis of the difference and contrast between the two models in terms of the degree of modernity and development, however, a careful examination of the two models confirms that they are not different to this degree. Only years (1998 in Britain and 2003 in Iraq) and the political conflict still exists in the two countries, leading to a final solution to this crisis.

In this short review, I have tried to sketch an overview of historical development of political anthropology and its recent trends. I was enthused to prepare this review article as there does not exist any of such simplified introduction of one of the prominent sub-fields in cultural anthropology for the Nepalis readers, in particular. I believe this particular sub-field has to offer much to understand and explain the recent trends and current turmoil of the political transition in the country. Political anthropologists than any other could better explain how the politics is socially and culturally embedded and intertwined, therefore, separation of the two – politics from social and cultural processes – is not only impossible but methodologically wrong, too.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> This presentation discusses the regional changes quantitatively in the 200 years through the overlay analysis of the present map and the INŌ’s map made by Tadataka INO in 1821 (Figure 1). INO surveyed the coastline and major roads on foot. He investigated not only survey lines, but also various geographic information such as rivers, lakes, mountains, village names, castles, temples, administrative boundaries, etc. Visualizing all of the 214 sheets of the INŌ’s large-scale map with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), we can analyse the national land condition seamlessly at the end of the Edo era.</p><p>Methodological point of view, we have serious problems including the scale, projection, identification of geographic features and so on, when we compare the old map with the present. In this connection, digitalizing the INŌ’s map as the GIS data is very useful to examine the spatial transformation scientifically during the 200 years. The digital INŌ’s map was constructed by employing the geo-reference function of GIS with the triangulation method. The survey line was converted into the line feature of vector data, and the place names were converted into the point feature of raster data. The distance of the survey line was measured by GIS-based geometric operation.</p><p>We obtained the following findings. The distributions of villages, ports, and facilities in western Japan were denser than those in eastern Japan in the 19th century. This was caused not only by the difference in natural environment and landform but also by socioeconomic factors including the locations of the castle towns and industrial activities. The regional structure has been dramatically transformed by the modernization of the political system, transportation system, and industrial development in reclaimed areas (Figure 2). It is concluded that most parts of changes in regional characteristics have been attained by overcoming the natural constraints. However, the difference in the political system has also been influential to the formation of the present regional system.</p>

The author?s approach is based on three premises: 1. that Gajo Petrovic?s Praxis was an outstanding phenomenon in Croatian, Yugoslav and European culture, a challenge of freedom in a repressive society; 2. that there has never been such a thing as "Praxis group", "philosophers of practice" or "Praxis philosophers" with a unified philosophical and socio-theoretical orientation; and 3. that political and ideological attacks on Praxis were part of the repressive system that targeted every instance of cultural and scientific dissent. The political leadership of Tito?s regime, its ideological and propaganda apparatus systematically disseminated allegations, denunciations and accusations against Praxis and Gajo Petrovic. The same style has survived through radical historical changes from the appearance of Praxis until today. The attackers have often been the same persons, with the difference that in earlier times they denounced Praxis and Gajo Petrovic as enemies of "socialism" and the "socialist self-management system", and in the changed political fashion as "servants" of Tito?s authoritarian rule. The fate of Praxis in the former regime has been triumphantly interpreted as a "family quarrel". This paper attempts a sociological analysis of the political destiny of Praxis. The analysis is essentially determined not by old and new political and ideological questionings of Praxis, but by Gajo Petrovic?s fundamental belief that there is no freedom without the human or humanity without freedom. .

Social scientists use the concept of interactions to study effect dependency. Such analyses can be conducted using standard regression models. However, an interaction analysis may represent either a causal interaction or effect modification. Under causal interaction, the analyst is interested in whether two treatments have differing effects when both are administered. Under effect modification, the analysts investigates whether the effect of a single treatment varies across levels of a baseline covariate. Importantly, the identification assumptions for these two types of analysis are very different. In this paper, we clarify the difference between these two types of interaction analysis. We demonstrate that this distinction is mostly ignored in the political science literature. We conclude with a review of several applications.

Background. A painting perception is a complex multilevel process of reception and transformation of information, which forms a subjective image of objects, serves as a communicative form of interaction between individuals, societies and cultures. A painting is a complicated system, which reflects the cultural situation in a society of a certain epoch, the worldview, conveys the complex of human feelings and beliefs, arises as a means of cognition. Everyone deliberately or involuntarily becomes a painting recipient, more or less engaging himself into the process of communication. Therefore, the approach to a painting is valid according to individual matrices of ideological notions complexes, concepts, principles, mentality, education and preparedness of a creator and a perceiver as a kind of non-verbal communication with a transfer of certain information during this process. Published scientific works refer to the narrow specifics of certain disciplines in the study of perception process of the painting, therefore, they do not constitute a holistic system of knowledge concerning this phenomenon. Among them we note the fundamental researches, which, in particular, set out aesthetic theories: perceptual (M. Beardsley), cognitive (R. Arnheim, D. Berlyne), informational (A. Moles); achievements in neuroaesthetics (V. Ramachandran), psychology of painting perception (V. Molyako, J. Gibson, S. Kosslyn). However, known presented painting perception algorithms do not take into account the entire range of components, parameters and the context of current communication process with art creation. It was revealed that the establishment of variants of components' interaction within the system «artist—painting—recipient», as different ways of cognition and coexistence in the information space, remains at the stage of formation and needs a fundamental development. Objectives. The objectives of the research are to identify concrete models of subjective-objective interaction within the system «artist—painting—recipient» as a result of perception the paintings of the groups «Zhyvopysnyi zapovidnyk» and «Paryzka komuna» in the artistic environment. As a material for conducting a practical investigation there were chosen the paintings of above-mentioned groups, because their art, both — as horizontal and vertical, formed a peculiar matrix of Ukrainian visuality. The art code of their works gives the opportunity to see the regularities of historical development of National visual experience. The range of painting form in all its aspects, from transavantgarde — to abstract, makes it possible to consider and analyze the difference between its specific characteristics and accordingly, different models of recipients' perception. Methods. Studying the disclosure of interactive features of interplay between painting and the recipient is related with certain difficulties, mainly of a methodical nature. Exceptionally an interdisciplinary research approach makes the most complete disclosure of the specifics of this process possible, determines its place in culture. During the research the system approach was used as well as such methods: experiment, modeling, structural-functional, statistical and comparative. In order to test the hypothesis, to reproduce the model of information system developed by author in real conditions, arose the need of organization of empirical study. An experiment was chosen as a method that assumes the allocation of significant factors which affect the results of the formation of a particular interaction model within the system «artist—painting—recipient». The investigation with recipients' poll aims to study cause-effect relationships in painting perception process, which assumes the practical modeling of the phenomenon and conditions of its course. Results. It is substantiated that the artistic strategy of two groups — narrative «Paryzka komuna» and non-narrative «Zhyvopysnyi zapovidnyk», has created a unique matrix of Ukrainian visuality, and the art code of paintings enables the revealing of patterns of historical development of National visual experience. Review and analysis of the specific features complex of modernist and postmodernist paintings allowed to identify the origins of four different perception models formation by recipients. Within the framework of the study there were critically comprehended known published painting perception algorithms. As a result of investigation, the informational painting perception system was formed and at the same time there was carried out its correlation with fundamental researches of Western scientists. In particular, they relate to perceptual, cognitive and informational aesthetic theories; achievements in neuroaesthetics and psychology of painting perception. Present model is an attempt to take into account the whole complex of components, parameters and context of communication process with the painting, as well as interpretive art models of corresponding period. Conclusions. Summarizing the results of the experiment, we can conclude that recipients from the range of artistic community clearly manifested the change of perception model — from nonclassical to post-nonclassical. It depended on presented painting — whether narrative artwork or «painting-opened-structure-object» was shown. The first one personifies the painters' works of «Paryzka komuna», and the second — artists' painting practice of «Zhyvopysnyi zapovidnyk». Also there were stated the individual manifestations of primordial and classical interaction painting models with their complexes of inherent specific features. Obtained results can form the support material for the evaluation of artworks — both within and outside the art institutions. Also the main theoretical positions can be relevant for artists in process of their work with the construction of further strategy, as well as for recipients interacting with painting

This article examines Foucault’s interpretation of Machiavelli in his 1978 lecture series, Sécurité, territoire, population. I argue that Foucault’s interpretation in these lectures deliberately misrepresents Machiavelli. This misrepresentation allows him to develop later traditions in political thought in a way that precludes any importance Machiavelli might have had for the concerns of these later authors. Further, thorough analysis of Foucault’s reading of Machiavelli uncovers a common thread between the two authors. For Machiavelli, the political is a space articulated by an immediacy of princes to peoples and generated from the fold formed by the difference between the qualities of the political humors. For Machiavelli, this difference of the humors—unstable and porous as it is—between those who desire to dominate and those who desire not to be dominated is immanent to the political. Read from this perspective Foucault’s critique of the tradition in anti-Machiavellian literature develops a reading of Machiavelli that, even if it misrepresents him, breaks Machiavelli free from the place his thought generally occupies in the history of raison d’État. The paper then closes developing the notion that Foucault’s interpretation of Machiavelli points in the direction of a clear theme shared by the two — the theme of historically generated political technique(s).

The study focuses on the discussion of a political polemic which has led to theological disputes and has subsequently created various types of interpretations of the Qur’ān. In this context, the author limits the discussion into three main treasures, namely Sunnī, Shī‘ah, and Mu‘tazilah. The polemic commenced due the succession process of Abu Bakr’s caliphate. It has been known that the Sunnī group claimed Abu Bakr as the successor of the Prophet Muhammad, while the Shī‘ah people demanded ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib as the one who possesses right to be the successor of the Prophet. Different political affiliation has consequently led to different interpretations of the Holy texts produced by these different groups. It is, therefore, interesting to observe how the similar Qur’anic verses are interpreted differently. Comparing inter-stream interpretations of the Qur’ān will show us the difference and contestation of meaning among them. This article will demonstrate how an interpreter of al-Qur’ān has been always influenced by the context of his/her historical background and expertise, including the political ideology he or she affiliated to.
