In a hypertext device for forensic text in courtroom context, the anchor rarely defines the nature of the link which it maintains with the target, the information to which it points. But navigation cannot be reduced to successive actions carried out on links. It is a rich and complex activity made up for the reader of defined waiting horizons, of cognitive patterns which are sometimes largely implicit and which function as frameworks of coherence. Thus, the hypertext link, which generates so much disorientation in an activity of information research and in the exploitation of documents with informative, explanatory or argumentative value, can turn out to be a formidable narrative efficiency in a narrative interactive. The interactive narrative is a particularly relevant object for understanding the way in which the frames inherited from a traditional form of reading are invested in the digital field, which are a source of coherence but which are simultaneously seen to be profoundly renewed by the exploitation of certain properties of hypertext devices for forensic text in courtroom context.

The basic idea of realism is that the kinds of thing which exist, and what they are like, are independent of us and the way in which we find out about them; antirealism denies this. Most people find it natural to be realists with respect to physical facts: how many planets there are in the solar system does not depend on how many we think there are, or would like there to be, or how we investigate them; likewise, whether electrons exist or not depends on the facts, not on which theory we favour. However, it seems natural to be antirealist about humour: something’s being funny is very much a matter of whether we find it funny, and the idea that something might really be funny even though nobody ever felt any inclination to laugh at it seems barely comprehensible. The saying that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ is a popular expression of antirealism in aesthetics. An obviously controversial example is that of moral values; some maintain that they are real (or ‘objective’), others that they have no existence apart from human feelings and attitudes. This traditional form of the distinction between realism and its opposite underwent changes during the 1970s and 1980s, largely due to Michael Dummett’s proposal that realism and antirealism (the latter term being his own coinage) were more productively understood in terms of two opposed theories of meaning. Thus, a realist is one who would have us understand the meanings of sentences in terms of their truth-conditions (the situations that must obtain if they are to be true); an antirealist holds that those meanings are to be understood by reference to assertability-conditions (the circumstances under which we would be justified in asserting them).

In this paper we analyze the first story-book of the internationally renowned contemporary Hungarian storyteller, Csenge Virág Zalka. In the first section we investigate the differences between folktale and literary tale, storyteller and story writer, further-/retold heritage and own creation as well as how the boundaries between them destabilize if we note down the folktale originally living in the oral traditional form. Furthermore, we will be discussing the female horizon prevalent in the Zalkaian tale-variants as well as the all-time topicality of the stories by putting the contemporary social and psychological analogies and taboo-breaking procedures of the tales in the foreground. In the focus of our investigation the Ribizli a világ végén [Currant at the End of the World] stands as a literary creation, which although we (also) analyze with an approach coming from the relevant literature of folktales and remade fairy tales, we do this all the way through the analysis in light of the postmodern text-organizing strategies.

This article analyses the way of managing urban policy in Scandinavian countries, as an example for Serbia. By analyzing urban policy as complex activity, because it demands contextual approach, democratic governmental capacities, good management with capacities to tail services according to the needs of citizens in their community, we could understand cities as stimulators of development and creators of welfare. This analysis tries to identify how Serbia, as transitional country can learn lessons from Scandinavian countries, to modernize management, democratize political system (decentralization and strengthening local government capacities), as well as to decrease corruption and misuses in public affairs.In methodological sense this article includes analysis of the system, the way of creation and steering urban policy in Scandinavian countries with affirmation of knowledge (evidence based public policy) and professionalism. Case study of Copenhagen city and experiences from other cities from this region, will procure in view of potential benefits of such an approach. On this basis comparison is made with similar processes in Serbia, which give us possibility to identify necessary corrections in our system.Some of the results of this paper are better knowledge of Serbian system weaknesses (especially in way of managing cities), loss of benefits which democratic and decentralized society enables, modern management, creation of policies on evidence, and creative searching for solution.One can conclude that reform changes, which turn out to be impossible for implementation in our society, do not demand great material investments, but demand the changing of values, priorities and model of behavior.

The problem of idyllic space occupies an important place in the mythopoetics of the Siberian text and can rightfully be considered as one of the dominant mythologemes in the culture and literature of the peoples of Siberia. The implementation of this mythologeme is often the mythopoetic topos of Belovodye. Belovodye attracted the attention of writers of the past two centuries, including Siberian authors A. E. Novoselov, M. Plotnikov, and others. The change in the paradigm of realistic writing with postmodern writing, which took place at the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries, allows taking a different look at the mythological idyll to dis- cover other ways of its artistic deconstruction. The play “Yakutia” by Altai playwright A. E. Stroganov is considered as an example of deconstruction of the idyllic myth of the postmodern era. Intended as an idyll of desolation, cold, and asceticism, finally, Yakutia mi-raculously turns into a country of joy, light and, warmth, i.e., it becomes the opposite of the idyll, more consistent with the traditional form of typification. In the context of postmodern-ism, an appeal to the idyll shows that it has the features opposite to the realistic interpretation. The idea of collective happiness is clearly replaced by the idea of individual freedom of a sin-gle person, his existence. At the same time, the main, archetypal features of the transformed world turn out to be very similar to the original prototype: the world of evil left by the heroes opens the way not for an idyll but for a new experience of comprehending the universe.

Performing a forgotten piece or work by a not-well-known composer is always a great challenge for an artist. The fact that there are no recordings, no performance traditions or at least an arranged and published score is not conductive to a decision to include such a piece in one’s repertoire. Which elements should a performer pay attention to while working on unknown contemporary pieces? Aside from the emotions and intuition, which influence the shape of a composition in a natural way, he or she should also refer to the intellectual side of interpretation. The issue to reflect on is the way how the knowledge and awareness of the form of a work, its texture, harmony, rhythm and other elements of a music piece may influence the final shape of its interpretation. Ryszard Bukowski – a composer, music theoretician, journalist and organiser of musical life became a permanent part of the musical cityscape of Wrocław of the afterwar period. His numerous compositions include works for diversified line-ups, from solo pieces to vocal-and-instrumental ones. As a skilful pianist, Bukowski eagerly wrote music featuring the piano, and the works he composed the most frequently were solo sonatas. Writing as many as ten piano sonatas took him only a little more than a decade. Was the title of a piece what made the composer refer to this very traditional form thanks to its genre significance? Or was it just the opposite, i.e., with the title being merely a provocation? Perhaps Bukowski’s characteristic creative feature was combining tradition with modernity and on the basis of traditional formal patterns he proposed original solutions in reference to harmony, rhythm or texture? The article analyses Bukowski’s Piano Sonatas no. 2, 5, 9 and 10 in terms of their performance.

I begin this essay by quoting two books that deeply shaped George Eliot's thinking because I want to draw attention to the problem of “faith” in her writings, which I believe illuminates an important aspect of her realist project. I am not so much interested in her well-documented personal loss of faith, or her deconstruction of Victorian Christianity into religious humanism (Knoepflmacher 44–59; Wright 173–201; Dolin 165–89), as I am in her positive theorization of faith, throughout her early writings, as a cognitive structure that shapes perception, interpretation, and action. Faith materializes as beliefs shape perception, perceptions shape belief, in hermeneutical spirals coiling out to exert benign or malignant force on believers’ material lives. For Eliot, Christian faith enables social violence, and literature must both expose this malignant relationship and instill more benign (and less totalizing) cognitive patterns for bringing one's faith to bear on materiality. Among other effects, such a transformation changes the way the Bible itself can be read. The realism Eliot articulates in Adam Bede (1859) and elaborates for the rest of her career is modeled on her understanding of the cognitive structure of faith – and calculated to infiltrate and eradicate it.

The study was conducted to identify the technological process of cottage cheese production as well as its diversity produced in traditional way in Kosovo. The data were collected by survey realized during the period October 2015 – April 2016. The sample size was calculated as 450 small-scale households and was randomly selected, representing all regions of Kosovo. The data were collected by face to face survey in rural settlements. The study was focused on the mode of cottage cheese production, as a way of coagulation, pasteurization, storage and use of cottage cheese produced. According to study result, it was found that Kosovo is characterized by a very small diversity of cottage cheese produced in the traditional form and the technological process of curd production differ slightly between the regions of Kosovo (mainly in the way of coagulation of curd).

The tenement is the traditional form of urban housing in Scotland and most tenements were built for rent. From the early nineteenth century onwards, private landlords in Scotland employed ‘factors’ to manage the houses on their behalf, responsible for houseletting, rent collection and the organization of repairs and maintenance. This paper examines the nature of the house factoring profession in terms of its organization and uses case studies to illustrate the way individual firms operated. The representation of the profession through factors’ associations is also examined and there is a consideration of the negative image which factors have acquired. The paper explores the changing nature of factoring as tenement flats have been sold off and factors have become agents not for individual landlords but for a multiplicity of owner-occupiers.

Interactive narratives are inextricable from the way that we understand our encounters with digital technology. This is based upon the way that these encounters are processually formed into a narrative of episodic events, arranged and re-arranged by various levels of agency. After describing past research conducted at the iCinema Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, this paper sets out a framework within which to build a relational theory of interactive narrative formation, outlining future research in the area.

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.
