The article examines the development of post-metaphysical discourses, united by the term “theopoetics”, that can be divided into two separate stages: the beginning of theopoetics out of the death-of-God movement in the 1970s, and its rebirth in the 1990s. The first one arises as a “non-metaphysical” alternative to conceptual systematics of theology in the use of religious metaphorical language. And the last one results in two main streams: as the process theology in the search of “different” metaphysics, as opposed to classical substantive one, in order to open the doors for interreligious diversity based on continuous universal values, and as hermeneutics and deconstruction, more intolerant of any metaphysics, where theopoetics acquires the meaning of narratives with Jesus as the central element, which determines its radical kenotic methodology. These are the ways of theopoetics that are wanted to be explored in this article.

Racism is an integral part of racialized groups’ experiences as Whiteness continues to foster the power and privilege it affords to White people. This has resulted in the racialization of Black bodies inflicted by racism. For Black youth, escaping the coloniality of racism may seem to be an impossible task as racism is ubiquitous, and has been deeply embedded in societal structures for hundreds of years. However, a heightened consciousness of racism provides a platform to fight against racial injustice. Instead of being locked in systems of oppression whereby Black bodies are wounded, there is a movement in the youth population to end intergenerational racist ideologies of what it means to be Black. Open the doors and let us out: Escaping the coloniality of racism empowers Black youth to embrace their Blackness, use their bodies and voices to reconstruct their racial identities and positionalities in society with pride and dignity.

Abstract The paper explores the theme of mysticism in Laurence Housman’s fairy tale “The Moon-Flower” (1895). It presents the main assumptions of a Victorian inner journey toward a mystical union and analyses symbols which construct the inner landscape which undergoes a mystic transformation. The author attempts to show the metamorphosis of the fairy tale’s main characters and identify its roots in both fairy tale and religious traditions. It is argued that Victorian fairy tales reflect a credible quintessence of the universe. The retold tales of an archetypical quest full of powerful symbols uncover the sublime world hidden under the dull reality. Hence, “The Moon-Flower” is believed to tell the story of inner transformation and open the doors to the myriad stories which were told before and create countless possibilities of interpretation.

The most widespread distinction made between emotions seems to be their being positive or negative; however, there is much more to their linguistic study. Joy is seen as one of the primary emotions and is thus indispensable as an example of a positive emotion, which can open the doors to the understanding of emotives in the English language and their universal and specific aspects. The paper aims at a better understanding of both universal and specific semantic and cognitive aspects of the given emotion which in linguistics is studied under the term of an emotive. To achieve this purpose the methods of corpus analysis and metaphor analysis have been applied. The study has revealed that positive denotation and almost similar levels of intensity are the universal semantic and cognitive features of the emotive joy.
