AbstractGlobalization is not a new phenomenon, but it is being expressed in a new way. It is a phenomenon all over the world; not only does it have a deep impact on the economy, it also affects all countries, all aspects of our daily life, such as our society, culture, economy, and religion. The value of globalization is the subject of debate: it has positive and negative effects. Some religious problems have emerged from globalization: secularism, individualism, New Age religious movements, the rise of religious radicalism, and the growth of religious commerce.Theologians view their religion as a universal that can live inand adapt all ages all of the time and in any social surrounding. Their religion is weatherproof. According to this approach, theologians have to find a persuasive solution to global theological problems.

The essay focuses on the dynamic interaction of different spatial topoi in the biography of Yu. M. Lotman. The study bears on Lotman’s letters tohis family between 1940 and 1946 –a time when Lotman was in the army. His interests in the field of science and various national cultures, his cognitive activity were generated by hishighly intellectual family. While serving in the army, Lotman was engaged in self-education and actively absorbed impressions of the foreign culture. The worldview of the young person during the war became the subject of reflection in the works of his later years. Lotman’s letters contain examples of the centrist geographical cultural model he described in 1992: the USSR is the center of the world revolution, while Petersburg and the Hermitage are the center of the “cultural ecumene.”At the same time, the letters reflect an alternative eccentric cultural model. Lotman noted peculiarities of the foreign daily life and interethnic relations and described in detail the impressions of exhibitions and performances in Berlin. Interaction of real and mythological geography determined the evolution of Lotman’s personality and shaped his intellectual and scholarly fields of interest.

Part III studies characters who conceive of desire as a dynamic process of mutual creation. These introductory pages explore the world-making capacities of the metaphor ‘Love is a Collaborative Work of Art,’ which conceptualises love as artfully creating a reality. This creative process often invites a third entity—a filter, a buffer, or an instrument—that mediates between the subject and object of desire. When Kenneth Burke writes about the role of instruments in daily life, he emphasises the instrument’s ontological connection, its potential fusion, with the subject who deploys it. This section explores this dynamic connection in the collaborative work of art that is Shakespeare’s Cesario. In Twelfth Night, Cesario is an ongoing process rather than a finished product. An erotic subject, object, and instrument, Cesario keeps becoming Cesario through his/their continued exchanges with Orsino and Olivia.

In the old days, theology was almost a purely internal religious matter. Ilmu Kalam or Islamic Theology – although this term does not fully signify the meaning of Ilmu Kalam; has been focusing mainly on “internal religious issues” namely; on God and His attributes, on prophethood and the characteristics of  prophecy and the resurrection and other issues related to beliefs. But as time goes by and the different parts of  the world come into contact with each other; not only merchandises were imported and exported but ideologies and religious beliefs were in no way excluded. With the advent of  the modern era since the renaissance, it seems that all things that are religious are considered as an obstacle for the rise of  humanism in the whole realm of  existence. Since then, religions had been the subject of  speculations and even denial.
