The World

Today’s theory, as well as literary fiction, which is usually most sensitive to changes in worldview, capture an evident fusion of mental and corporeal components in 21st-century culture. Being stated by numerous theorists, the “end of postmodernism” brings a new sensual dominant to the culture. The article demonstrates an existing tendency in today’s Serbian and Montenegrin prose to depict a special type of “integral corporeality”, a phenomenon in which mental and psycho-emotional processes occur and are described only through the body and in bodily terms. This demonstrates the integrity of the external and internal, which, in contrast to the postmodernist sense of disconnection and fragmentation of life, testifies to a new integrity in culture and worldview. That is the research problem. Focusing on an analysis of the works of three Serbian and Montenegrin writers, David Albahari, Slobodan Tišma, and Ognjen Spahić, the author of the article is, however, inclined to believe that such a process of unification of the body with emotions, feelings, and, often, socio-cultural context is a direct reflection of the modern tendency to move from intellectual comprehension of the world and its mental interpretation towards a certain “immersion” in the world, or an integration involving sensation instead of remote analysis. That is, the concept of corporeality and its reflecting in literary fiction are part of a broader and more global process of changing the worldview paradigm in general, and changing the approach to interacting with the world. The author tries to trace this connection of literature with socio-cultural shifts. Thus, the aim of the study is to consider the mechanisms of the realization of corporality in modern Serbian and Montenegrin prose as a part of global socio-cultural changes and changes in worldview. Drawing parallels between Raoul Eshelman's concept of performatism and the transition from rationalization to “immersion” in the world described by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht in “Production of Presence. What Meaning Cannot Convey” the author views the fusion of corporeal and mental elements in the texts of the writers under analysis as a movement towards a “culture of presence,” and a consequence of ideological shifts that began in the 60's with calls “against interpretation.” The latter determines the novelty of the work. During the research the author uses analysis and synthesis; the comparative method for establishing similarities and differences between corporeality manifestations in the texts under analysis; the inductive method, which allowed movement from the study of individual phenomena in selected works to theoretical generalizations; the hermeneutic method for the interpretation of the phenomenon of the corporeal in literary texts under analysis; and the cultural-historical method, which enabled consideration and interpretation of the phenomena of the corporeal as part of global processes, in the context of the cultural history of the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries.

Abstract The present study integrates into the complex scientific approach of investigating the legal protection of the rights that result from the intellectual creation in the Romanian objective law. In this regard, it analyzes the main evolutionary benchmarks of the protection of intellectual creation from ancient times to the modern era, aiming to highlight the elements of social nature that were the basis of the emergence and development of copyright. At the same time, the scientific approach addresses the issue of the emergence of copyright by combining, through the method of multi-disciplinary scientific research, the legal, social and historical sciences. In the accomplishment of the present scientific approach we used the following scientific research methods: the historical method, the logical method, the deductive-inductive method and the comparative method.

The aim of this article is to analyze traditional somatic ideas of the Turkic-Mongolians of Inner Asia that they formed as a part of their “theories” on the origin of the world and man. Data and methods. An important part of the studies of man as a social and biological being is the investigation of the human body conceptualizations of the Turkic-Mongolian peoples. When explored, the ideas that traditional societies had on the human body and its constituent parts, such as organs, muscles, and blood may give an important clue to understanding traditional medicine methods, attitudes towards the body, and the body potentialities. In this respect, one cannot overestimate the relevance of the nomads’ folklore texts dealing with the origin of the world and man as a research source. A variety of such stories relating how man was made of clay, wood, metal, bone, and stone may shed light on the invention and development of new materials by man, as well as on the technologies they used for their processing. The study is based on a comparative historical method that helps to identify commonalities characteristic of the Turkic-Mongolian world in understanding the human body; as well as the method of cultural and historical reconstruction, which gives an insight into the logic of archaic views. Conclusions. In the somatic conceptualizations of the Turkic-Mongolians, the key and stable correspondences of the natural and the human are such series as bone – wood, flesh – clay/earth /stone form. The associations of the human body and its parts with metals manifest to a lesser degree. The processes of maturing and aging of the human body were conceptualized by traditional societies in terms of both natural and cultural phenomena, such as the life cycles of a tree and ceramics making of raw/soft clay hardened in the process of its firing.

Shifting Boundaries

Some literatures, like Canadian literature, may be considered minor because Canada is not a major power. But in reality, Canadian literature and other literatures, large or small, are part of a cultural history that is not merely local or even national, but international. The territories of culture and literature in literal or metaphorical terms shift over time. Using a comparative method, this article examines texts—such as The Saga of Eric the Red and works by Columbus, Verrazzano, Jeannette C. Armstrong, Marie Annharte Baker and Carrie Best—to demonstrate the shifting boundaries of time and space and to explore the connections between cultures and literatures in Canada, Europe and the Atlantic and international worlds as part of a longstanding globalization. The article demonstrates that the hybridity resulting from cross-cultural contact and colonization typically blurs the distinction between center and periphery, revealing the historical fluidity of the political boundaries on which the concepts of national and world literatures are based. In doing so, it focuses on how North America, particularly Canada, and the historical process of its discovery, settlement, and colonization have connected this region to other parts of the world.

This chapter covers macroeconomic issues, including economic cycles, money, price levels, the nature of growth, and the historical roots of underdevelopment. It shows how the micro level is logically linked to the macro level. It also argues that the crisis of the French-style economic history in the past twenty years is due more to French historians transferring their interest to cultural history. However, abandoning quantitative history in favor of the histoire des mentalités does not imply there is no room for economic history alongside the new political history and other aspects such as the history of the body and the history of death that were once considered eccentric.

This article addresses institutional innovations in the Jain Śvetāmbara Terāpanth as it has adapted to a new socio-historical and cultural context. It investigates the intersections between the Terāpanth and the context of late-capitalism, particularly in India, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and discusses shifts in orientations toward the body as acts of adaptation to late capitalism. Historically, the Terāpanth held an ascetic ideal that required social withdrawal and bodily purification for the sake of spiritual release from the world. Beginning in the late twentieth century, however, the Terāpanth prescribed a form of modern yoga for enhancing the body and life in the world. I argue that this shift signifies a practical change in the everyday body maintenance regime of the practitioner. It does not, however, signify a soteriological shift for the advanced spiritual adept. Rather, a body-negating asceticism maintains its central role in the construction of the soteriological path.

The research deals with the concept of «world view». The subject matter of this paper is the Russian language picture of the world presented in the V. G. Korolenko’s stories, or more specifically, the study investigates basic peculiarities of the language picture of the world in two stories by V. G. Korolenko, the «Makar’s Dream» and «Without a Language». The article studies the linguistic worldview of the V. G. Korolenko in the context of the evident changing the realities, which are described in his stories. The author shows how the writer’s worldview changed influenced by the political, historic and cultural events of those days.He shows the Siberian land with its vast expanses, fierce winter, its own unique traditions and laws in the short story «Makar’s Dream». We can clearly see and feel this picture of the world thought the language prism, particularly in its bilingualism, in the lifestyle description, customs, characters of the heroes, etc.Another story «Without a Language» offers us an invaluable opportunity to compare Russian and American language picture of the world. The first one was shown by V. G. Korolenko as the homeland with its well-established, traditional way of life and old religion. And at the same time, the author has depicted America with its specific features, which differs from the Russian language picture of the world. According to his point of view, an American language picture of the world has a range of characteristic that differentiates it from the Russian. It has freedom, civilization, faith, and morals. V. G. Korolenko has skillfully used dialogues, descriptions, analyzes of the main characters, the Ukrainian-Russian bilingualism, foreign language inclusions in Russian speech, etc. In addition to this, some typical structures for both languages were found out which show national identity.It has been appealed to special linguistic methods and techniques, including the comparative historical method for comparing the facts of the modern language and the language of V. G. Korolenko, as well as the comparative method for comparing the Russian, Ukrainian, Yakut and English languages.The paper concludes that language is an integral part of the culture of the people, its basic tool of communication and socialization. It must be noted, that the culture is verbalized in the language. Each language is a unique code, which contains culturally marked information.This study proves the idea of the unbreakable link between language and culture. This is, in our opinion, the main value of the given research.

The importance of the work manifests in the study of the right of individuals to the protection of their interests in the court of arbitration, and as a result, new theoretical and practical conclusions are offered. Dispute settlement in the court of arbitration is usually characterised by three positive aspects: comparatively short dispute settlement time, lower costs, and confidentiality. Still, the environment of the Latvian courts of arbitration has earned a negative image, and their quick judgements are not always objective and fair. In Latvia, the number of studies in this field is small; studying issues related to courts of arbitration mostly gained popularity during the period when changes in the laws and regulations or passing a new Arbitration Law was planned. Studies where the practice of other countries in relation to courts of arbitration is explored primarily tend to analyse and study the international institute of the court of arbitration. The normative regulations that governs the operation of courts of arbitration in the latest years has been improved and developed; however, in general it does not form a positive legal practice. The research aim is to study the topic, individuals’ right to the protection of their interests in the court of arbitration, find problems and shortcomings, as well as offer a solution. The research object is civil judicial remedy for protecting individual’s interests, whereas the research subject is the individuals’ rights to the protection of their interests in the court of arbitration. The following scientific research methods have been used in the development of research work: special methods: grammatical method, analytical method, systemic method, historical method, teleological method, comparative method, semantic method; general scientific methods: inductive method and deductive method.

The study of the Second Sophistic is a relative newcomer to the Anglophone field of classics, and much of what characterizes it temporally and culturally remains a matter of legitimate contestation. This Handbook offers a diversity of scholarly voices that attempt to define the state of this developing field. Included are chapters that offer practical guidance on the wide range of valuable textual materials that survive, many of which are useful or even core to inquiries of particularly current interest (e.g., gender studies, cultural history of the body, sociology of literary culture, history of education and intellectualism, history of religion, political theory, history of medicine, cultural linguistics, intersection of the classical traditions and early Christianity). The Handbook contains chapters devoted to the work of the most significant intellectuals of the period, such as Plutarch, Dio Chrysostom, Lucian, Apuleius, the novelists, the Philostrati, and Aelius Aristides. In addition to its content and bibliographical guidance, this volume helps to situate the textual remains within the period and its society, to describe and circumscribe the literary matter and the literary culture and societal context. Throughout it tries to keep the contextual demands in mind. In its scope and its pluralism of voices, this Handbook thus represents a new approach to the Second Sophistic, one that attempts to integrate Greek literature of the Roman period into the wider world of early imperial Greek, Latin, Jewish, and Christian cultural production, and one that keeps a sharp focus on situating these texts within their socio-cultural context.
