"The Motif of Crossing Borders in Carpathian German Autobiographies. Josef Derx's Memories is the autobiography of a Wehrmacht soldier who becomes a banker after the war. Free of mythology and biblical references, but often with humorous-parodic undertones, the narrative focuses on spatial and temporal details of Derx's life story. In the description of everyday life in a prison camp and the escape from it, the transformation of the remembered self into a remembering self can be observed textually and stylistically by means of changes in tempo and rhetorical figures. Elisabeth Metzl's Ein Paradies verloren aber wir leben (A Lost Paradise but We Live) tells the story of a young woman who has to flee from Bratislava to Austria in her “travelling prison” before the war, without knowing that she will leave her homeland behind forever. The search for her lost sons becomes a personal odyssey. Keywords: autobiography, remembered self, remembering self, personal odyssey "

Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novella One Day in the Life of Ivan Dentsovtch contains only one reference to Iosif Stalin: “In the room someone was yelling: ‘So the old man with the moustache will have mercy on you! He wouldn't believe his own brother, let alone slobs like you!’ ” Despite these disrespectful words, the novella's condemnation of Stalin and the society controlled by him is basically an indirect one. As Georg Lukács observes: “Solzhenitsyn's achievement consists in the literary transformation of an uneventful day in a typical camp into a symbol of a past which has not yet been overcome… . Although the camps epitomize one extreme of the Stalin era, the author has made his skilful grey monochrome of camp life into a symbol of everyday life under Stalin.“ Understated, allusive, and deceptively simple, the novella, published with Khrushchev's personal approval in December 1962, marked the crest of the party's anti-Stalin campaign. Within months Khrushchev called for a brake on prison-camp literature, and Solzhenitsyn began to encounter increasingly severe and decisive critical opposition.

Olympic education is currently perceived as one of the most eff ective forms of upbringing, which is why it should be included in modern pedagogy. It is important because of the values of Olympism and education through sport. When speaking of Olympic education, its origins and precursor should be studied as well. It is worth knowing that it was Pierre de Coubertin’s philosophical and pedagogical concept that played the key role in the development of Olympic education in the world. The values of Olympism, including equality, fraternity, collaboration, friendship, respect, solidarity and striving for excellence are now commonly accepted. The timeless and universal nature of those values, the generally accepted fair play rule that is important not only in sport, but also in everyday life, looking at sport through the prism of social and human values, as well as the common global recognition of the Olympic Games, all may contribute to Olympic education becoming a marvel of modern education.

Ut non diligat vir uxorem sicut adulteram — sexuality in medieval Poland as seen by the preachersHow can the attitudes of medieval people towards any manifestations of sexuality be examined? The objective of the study is to reveal the utility of sermons in research on sexuality in medieval Poland. Knowing that the content of the studied sermons is frequently set in the reality of everyday life, it is not unfounded to expect that any kinds of behaviour and attitudes criticized and con­demned by preachers constitute a credible reflection of the customs typical for the inhabitants of medieval Poland. One can therefore discover what kind of sexually motivated behaviour was per­mitted, what attitudes were expected and what eluded any control, shaping the reality and customs of medieval Poland.

The past 20 years have seen ongoing changes to the musical landscape of everyday life and growing evidence of the power of music and its ubiquity in our lives. The music education community, both academic and professional, are becoming increasingly aware of the need to rethink and change practices of teaching and learning that are likely to be beneficial to all. Knowing that across nations and cultures music accompanies the lives of 3.5-year-olds to 85-year-olds for over 80% of the time makes it all the more important that the topics of research that are featured in this final issue for 2011 reflect an international line up of studies originating from Spain, China, New Zealand, Africa, Australia and Britain. Echoing BJME's original aims ‘to strengthen connections between research and practice’ several articles reflect the rise in prominence of practitioners who undertake research as a means of informing practice and professional development.

The introduction contextualizes and previews the book’s primary aims and arguments. It discusses the book’s methodology, its focus on everyday life, its relevance to queer and transgender thought, and its engagement with theories of media and audiences. Opening with the life story of Margie, a white transgender woman in her early sixties, and her experiences with media, the introduction underscores the many influences of technologies of communication on the everyday lives of transgender individuals. In chronicling the experiences of people like Margie, Struggling for Ordinary offers a portrait of how transgender individuals lived with media toward the latter part of the twentiethand the beginning of the twenty-firstcentury. This was a time before the recent wave of transgender visibility in our culture, before what Time magazine called the “transgender tipping point.” It was before Caitlyn Jenner and her reality TV show, before Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, Amazon’s Transparent, and the current transgender reality television boom. Situated during this historic moment, during a time of growing but uneven and scattered access to transgender representation and communication networks, Struggling for Ordinary offers a snapshot of how transgender audiences made their way toward identity and ordinary life.

Deprived Areas

Abstract Participatory approaches are appropriate to apply in interventions aiming at improving health and wellbeing in the everyday life of people living in deprived areas. However, more research is needed on how participation is staged, what negotiations of power are possible and to what extent the applied methods for engagement are accessible to a less affluent spectrum of residents. We apply an interdisciplinary approach to allow theoretical reflections on the applied strategy of participation. The intervention employs the use of physical materials through the performance of drawing to make participation less dependent of language and writing skills and hereby more equal. With this participatory intervention study, we aim to empower residents to increase their ability to act on their own health, i.e. social relations and life quality. We apply graphical facilitation by using physical drawing materials to explore how this method can give voice to the residents by providing them the opportunity to tell their story - from where they came to where they hope to go. The main component in the study is four participatory workshops in spring 2020: a) two focusing on teaching of basic drawing skills; b) one where the residents individually draw their own life story; c) one where the residents draw their shared vision of their community. This intervention study aims to contribute to health promotion by exploring generic methods to engage residents in deprived areas. The intended outcome is to empower residents by giving them a means of communication transferable to other settings in everyday life.

The life story of Tsar Boris Godunov, one of the most intriguing characters of Late Medieval Rus’, is still surrounded by unsolved enigmas, obscure gaps, and omissions. The date of his birth is to yet be verified and introduced into scholarly discourse. This paper presents evidence that, if interpreted appropriately, we argue it enables us to estimate Godunov’s  birthday. Accurate dating is important for many reasons, for instance it helps us to contextualize and broaden our understanding of everyday life at the ruling house, the cult of personal patron saints, and aristocratic naming conventions in Rus’ between the 14th and the 17thcenturies.

Antigone's defiant words might be regarded as an archetypal statement of tragic heroism. Faced with a human instruction to leave her dead brother unburied, she fulfils the rites owed to the corpse knowing that this will lead to her death; when the time comes, she treats the tyrant who menaces her, Creon, with disdain. She does this as a powerless young woman, facing an older man in a position of total authority; the contrast between the figures on stage, evident in their costumes and masks, will have accentuated the shocking nature of her response. The chorus show her no sympathy. They are even older men, which makes the female Antigone seem all the more alone; other female characters who challenge the power of males, such as Procne or Euripides’ Medea, at least have a supportive chorus of the same gender. So the circumstances in which Antigone finds herself emphasize the bravery evident in her speech, where she shows herself willing to give up her life to treat her brother's corpse as she believes the laws of the gods demand.

The debate among Haji Amad Mutamakin and Ketip Anom about the spirituality of Dewaruci consist of synthesis Javanese and Islamic mysticism.

The Divine is not outside there and far from human. The mysticism of Java, therefore, is all about life in the world and human relation with himself, others, and the universe. It is about human activities in all their mundane activities and about human understanding of himself and the universe. Javanese mysticism lays in daily activities. It is in everyday life Javanese coming to the essence of life. These daily activities consist of all relations Javanese made the way of thinking Javanese understood and believed.
