In the nineteenth century, when the theatre arts were at their peak, Milan was considered the intellectual and artistic capital of Italy. This article explores the objectives and the functioning of an important mutual aid company based in Milan – the Pio Istituto Teatrale – through its accounting system. These accounting documents clearly convey the dual nature of this organization, which was dedicated to protecting both social welfare and the arts. This study confirms the social role of accounting and its implications. In recent years, the attention paid to accounting in artistic institutions has been increasing. However, while many studies have explored Italian mutual aid societies in general, few have considered those in the artistic field specifically. This article attempts to rectify this oversight by examining a mutual aid society functioning in the world of theatre via its accounting records.

In an era of dynamically changing socio-economics and technological progress, many aspects of school education are being transformed. Teachers are required to be professional in the form of a demand for increasingly higher professional qualifications and competences, but are also required to fulfil specific social roles. These new determinants of the functioning of education create difficulties in the construction of the teacher's identity because the changes which are being introduced disturb professional stability and cause fears about the future. The challenge is to try to answer universal questions about the professional identity of the teacher, the ability to combine an exceptional sense of service, vocation and mission. This situation affects teachers of German and other foreign languages (FL). The aim of this paper is to show how teachers of German as a FL perceive the changing school and how they assess the educational process that they co-create. Through biographical interviews, analyzed within the framework of Rubacha’s social role model (2000), an attempt is made to answer the question of how the social role of German teachers is changing as a result of the educational reform initiated in 2017 and what dilemmas are being caused by the changing role of the teacher. Statements from participants of the study will be presented that illustratethe disorder of stabilization of the profession, which results in a critical attitude to the changing situation in school, a disturbed attitude to the world, culture and other people. Impairment of the professional stabilization of German teachers is viewed in the context of the concept of their social role.

This study focuses on Adam Borzič, one of the most distinctive contemporary Czech poets. The study contextualises his work within current Czech poetry but also examines his other work that is not strictly classified as art as though it were cultural work with avant-garde features. It investigates four volumes of Borzič’s work in terms of the changes in the author’s creative gesture, which expands from his conviction that the world is at a turning point and the avant-garde longing to change the world by poetry. In the four volumes of Borzič’s poetry (written so far), this gesture is embodied through delicately intimate, acutely physical, or even gigantically all-embracing positions, where he employs motives of the heart, head, hand and mouth. The study attempts to evaluate the change in Borzič’s work in the lightof T. S. Eliot’s understanding of the social role of poetry and avant-garde longing to change reality through art. The Czech poet, Adam Borzič, is one of the most distinctive figures of the current Czech literary scene. His poetry is distinct because of its unique gesture andalso represents a strong current in the poetry production of the past decade with its emphasis on the social function of poetry7 and the poet’s role as somebody who should nurture the world through his/her work or even change it. This study attempts to portray Borzič’s work as focused on the mentioned topics and related issues of the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century and renew interest in them, contextualise his work within current Czech poetry but also investigate his other work, which is not strictly artistic but which possesses some avant-garde features.

The article examines the social role of Islam as one of the world religions in the context of the concept of justice. The length of the article does not allow a detailed study of all the possible functions of Islam; it is limited to the study of some particular aspects of the functions performed by Islam. The article is aimed at analyzing the social role of Islam in the context of justice. The investigation of the functions performed by Islam in relation to public life and human activity requires its understanding from the point of view of justice. In this case, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the functions of Islam as a specific religion and the functions of organizations representing Islam. Islam is capable of both strengthening relations in a particular society, helping a person overcome life difficulties, and distracting a person from his pressing problems, directing his energy into an illusory channel.

O artigo aborda teoricamente o papel social da literatura, se oportunizada sua apreciação estética; defende que, assim, a experiência com o texto literário torna-se concreta e a mediação do professor permite ao educando experienciar o mundo por meio da palavra. Ancoradas em noções conceituais bakhtinianas e nas reflexões sobre a literatura e a leitura de Antonio Candido e Paulo Freire, tematizamos a promoção de uma leitura literária dialógica e apresentaremos possibilidades de exploração do texto literário a partir de uma experiência de leitura e análise de obras que se aproximam tematicamente. Para tal, selecionamos dois livros: Boitempo, de Carlos Drummond de Andrade, e Minha vida de menina, de Helena Morley. Discorreremos a respeito de como se constroem as relações familiares no contexto de cada obra (o que servirá de exemplo do que denominamos como metodologia temática), destacando o importante papel do professor como mediador nesse processo que visa à formação de sujeito leitor crítico e consciente de seu papel social. Palavras-chave: Leitura. Literatura. Leitura literária. Mediação. Texto literário. MEDIATION OF LITERARY READING: A PROPOSAL OF THEMATIC METHODOLOGY Abstract: This paper theoretically addresses the social role of aesthetically appreciated literature; it argues that this experience with the literary text becomes concrete and teacher's mediation allows the learner to experience the world through words. Anchored on Bakhtin’s conceptual notions and Antonio Candido’s and Paulo Freire’s reflections on literature and reading, we discuss the promotion of a dialogical literary reading and present possibilities of exploration of literary texts based on an experience of reading and analyses of works that are thematically related. For that, we selected two books: Boitempo, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, and Minha vida de menina, by Helena Morley. We discuss how family relations are constructed in the context of each work (which will serve as an example of what we call thematic methodology), highlighting the important role of the teacher as a mediator in this process that aims at the formation of a critical and conscious reader who is aware of his or her social role. Keywords: Reading. Literature. Literary reading. Mediation. Literary text.
