<div><p><strong>Abstract :</strong> Man in ancient times, adheres the ancient cosmology, who hold no separation between supranatural and natural realm, beliefs that every occurrences in the world is ruled under the Divine free determination and decree. There is no natural law runs out of the order and will of God (as defended by Deism). Therefore, for them, miracle is always a real experience and unseparable part of daily life. Miracle is not something irrational. On the contrary, ancient reason provides justifications for its occurency. Certainly, this conviction as a mythological interpretation that is being applied toward the facts which actually are ordinary and natural. Commonly, such mythological interpretations were generally proposed by the writers of holy books (scripture) long after the actual events, all of which, however was normal and natural. All miraculous stories in the holy books are entirely imaginary narratives which were codified post actum or post eventum, long after the unsensational actual events, and were built with religious apologetical or propagandistic purposes, rather than reporting the historical facts as they were. At their hand, the history is under religious-political apologies and propaganda.</p><p><em>Keywords : Holy book, historiography, fact/history, fiction,  mitology, scientific subjectivism, objectivism, interactivism, sensus plenior</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p><strong>Abstrak :</strong> Bagi manusia di zaman kuno, yang menganut kosmologi kuno, tak mengenal pemisahan antara dunia adikodrati dan dunia kodrati. Bagi mereka alam berjalan karena semuanya diatur dan ditentukan dengan bebas oleh Allah. Tidak ada hukum alam yang berjalan mandiri terlepas dari pengaturan dan kehendak Allah (sebagaimana dipertahankan deisme di zaman modern). Karena itu, mukjizat senantiasa merupakan pengalaman nyata dan keadaan yang tak terpisah dari kehidupan sehari-hari. Bagi mereka, mukjizat bukanlah hal yang tak masuk ke dalam nalar mereka. Namun sebaliknya, nalar manusia kuno membutuhkan dan memberi tempat bagi terjadinya mukjizat. Tentu saja, jika menurut mereka mukjizat telah terjadi, pendapat mereka ini adalah sebuah interpretasi mitologis atas fakta-fakta yang seluruhnya normal dan kodrati saja. Umumnya berbagai macam interpretasi mitologis ini diajukan para penulis kitab-kitab suci pada masa jauh sesudah kejadian-kejadian yang sebenarnya, yang normal dan kodrati semata. Semua kisah mukjizat dalam kitab-kitab suci adalah kisah-kisah imajiner yang disusun post actum atau post eventum, jauh sesudah kejadian sebenarnya yang tidak sensasional, dengan tujuan-tujuan apologetik atau demi propaganda keagamaan, bukannya melaporkan fakta-fakta sejarah apa adanya. Di tangan mereka, sejarah ditaklukkan seluruhnya pada apologetika dan propaganda religio-politik.</p><p><em>Kata kunci : Kitab suci, historiografi, fakta/sejarah, fiksi, mitologi, subjektivisme ilmiah,  objektivisme, interaktivisme, sensus  plenior</em></p></div>

When a person learns about the world, hefirst of all aims to reveal itssecrets, riddles,in order to see and accept various objects in the environment, to become an integral part of it and to create daily life. Although the trend started in ancient times, it is still recurring today. Because learning and an interest in the process, is a quality specific to humanity. As a result of this knowledge, the language is enriched, thought is improved,various legends, myths, and stories are born. That is, what is achieved in knowledge - with the help of our language, and the worldview itself unfolds along the same line in the minds of mutually related, similar peoples. From this point of view, the definition of the national-cultural cognitive character in the lexemes related to plants in the Kazakh and Turkic languages is very relevant from the point of view of studying the worldview. Plants have the same meaning in the life of humanity united by four elements that make up the basis of life (water, air, soil, fire). It maintains the balance of nature with the soul, animals and people. Observing the worldview about plants of the Turkic period, we can see that they played the same special role as animals. This idea is evidenced by ancient legends, rites and rituals, myths, stories related to plants. In this article, we tried to study the mythology of the two peoples, to show and analyze the myths and legends of the origin of plants.

Since ancient times, Arabic has been an actively used language. Arabic language is also renowned as the language of Al-Qur’an (Muslim’s holy book). However, it is important to notice that the Arabic language used for communication is certainly different from that used in the Qur’an, which is also called the classical Arabic language (qodîmah). This Qur’anic Arabic has various unique characteristics. This paper elaborates some specificities and uniqueness of Arabic letter Dād that no other languages in this world bear similarities. Thus, it cannot be denied if this language is used to represent the verses of the Qur’an. Although some challenges were later found in pronouncing this letter after the Qur’an is read by all Muslims throughout the world. The letter Dād, found in the 15

Filistin tarihinde yaşanan 1948 ve 1967 savaşları, binlerce Filistinlinin başka ülkelere göç etmesine neden olmuştur.

Mersin’de bulunan Filistinlilerin zorunlu olarak çıktıkları göç yollarında yaşadıklarının ve mülteci olarak günlük hayatta karşılaştıkları zorlukların Filistinli kimlikleri üzerindeki etkisi sözlü tarih yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Farklı kuşaklardan sekiz Filistinli mülteci ile yapılan görüşmelerde, dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde mülteci olarak yaşama deneyiminin, Filistinlilerin ulusal bağlılıklarına zarar vermediği görülmüştür.

From ancient times till nowadays information plays a key role in the political processes. The beginning of XXI century demonstrated the transformation of global security from military to information, social etc. aspects. The widening of pandemic demonstrated the weaknesses of contemporary authoritarian states and the power of human-oriented states. During the World War I the theoretical and practical interest toward political manipulation and political propaganda grew definitely. After 1918 the situation developed very fast and political propaganda became the part of political influence. XX century entered into the political history as the millennium of propaganda. The collapse of the USSR and socialist system brought power to new political actors. The global architecture of the world has changed. Former Soviet republic got independence and tried to separate from Russia. And Ukraine was between them. The Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine was the start point for a number of processes in world politics. But the most important was the fact that the role and the place of information as the challenge to world security was reevaluated. The further annexation of Crimea, the attempt to legitimize it by the comparing with the referendums in Scotland and Catalonia demonstrated the willingness of Russian Federation to keep its domination in the world. The main difference between the referendums in Scotland and in Catalonia was the way of Russian interference. In 2014 (Scotland) tried to delegitimised the results of Scottish referendum because they were unacceptable for it. But in 2017 we witness the huge interference of Russian powers in Spain internal affairs, first of all in spreading the independence moods in Catalonia. The main conclusion is that the world has to learn some lessons from Scottish and Catalonia cases and to be ready to new challenges in world politics in a format of information threats.

This chapter argues for the importance of cultivating aesthetic literacy and vigilance, as well as practicing aesthetic expressions of moral virtues. In light of the considerable power of the aesthetic to affect, sometimes determine, people’s choices, decisions, and actions in daily life, everyday aesthetics discourse has a social responsibility to guide its power toward enriching personal life, facilitating respectful and satisfying interpersonal relationships, creating a civil and humane society, and ensuring the sustainable future. As an aesthetics discourse, its distinct domain unencumbered by these life concerns needs to be protected. At the same time, denying or ignoring the connection with them decontextualizes and marginalizes aesthetics. Aesthetics is an indispensable instrument for assessing and improving the quality of life and the state of the world, and it behooves everyday aesthetics discourse to reclaim its rightful place and to actively engage with the world-making project.

In their editorial for the first issue of Tourist Studies, Adrian Franklin and Mike Crang made us aware that tourism research had shifted to an exploration of the extraordinary everyday where ‘more or less everyone now lives in a world rendered or reconfigured as interesting, entertaining and attractive – for tourists’. From our standpoint 20 years later, we suggest this particular departure point has important insights to offer our understanding of a quintessential tourism event, that of the festival, which now intervenes in daily life in all manner of ways. In this commentary, we present a reflective commentary on recent scholarship that advocates for more rigour in festival studies, with greater theory development and testing within the festival context, and how this work is suggestive of future directions for festival research. We present several areas that are ripe for further research, particularly given the tumultuous nature of the world we are living in, such as the challenges of climate change and how we might socialise in a post-Covid world. Much has changed in the 20 years since the inception of Tourist Studies, but festivals remain resilient – they will re-emerge in future, perhaps not unscathed but with a renewed sense of purpose.

Descriptions of “aesthetic arrest,” those ecstatic moments that lift the common sense subject-object dichotomy, abound in Merleau-Ponty’s writings. These special experiences, found in both artistic and mystical accounts, arise from the daily life of ordinary perception. Such experiences enable the artist, philosopher, or mystic to overturn received categories and describe phenomena in a creative way; they become dangerous when treated as the sine qua non of aesthetic experience. Aesthetic arrest, though rare in consumer society, need not be overwhelmed by the flood of information and can still provide fresh glimpses into the world as lived.
