La novela española actual, la que ha surgido en el siglo XXI, está dando frutos muy diversos en sus distintos registros estéticos, lingüísticos y temáticos. Buena prueba de ello son las cuatro narraciones de las que aquí nos ocupamos. La aceleración de la historia actual, junto con los conflictos relativos a la vida cotidiana proporcionan al narrador de nuestros días materia más que suficiente para que, a través de la ficción, podamos comprender algo mejor nuestro mundo, ya se trate del presente, ya del pasado que sigue condicionándonos.

This book provides fresh perspectives on 21st-century migratory experiences in this innovative study of young Asian migrants' lives in Australia. Exploring the aspirations and realities of transnational mobility, the book shows how migration has reshaped lived experiences of time for middle-class young people moving between Asia and the West for work, study and lifestyle opportunities. Through a new conceptual framework of 'chronomobilities', which looks at 'time-regimes' and 'time-logics', the book demonstrates how migratory pathways have become far more complex than leaving one country for another, and can profoundly affect the temporalities of everyday life, from career pathways to intimate relationships. Drawing on extensive ethnographic material, the book deepens our understanding of the multifaceted relationship between migration and time.

As ways of making meaning in drama strongly resemble the ways that meanings are made in everyday social life, forms of drama learn from everyday life and, at a societal level, people in everyday life learn from drama. Through history, from the emergence of drama in Western culture, the learning that results at a societal level from the interactions of everyday social life and drama have been noted by scholars. In contemporary culture, electronic and digitized forms of mediation and communication have diversified its content and massively expanded its audiences. Although there are reciprocal relations between everyday life and drama, aspects of everyday life are selected and shaped into the various cultural forms of drama. Processes of selection and shaping crystallize significant aspects of everyday social relations, allowing audiences of and participants in drama to learn and to reflect critically on particular facets of social life. In the 20th century, psychological theories of learning have been developed, taking note of the sociocultural relationships between drama, play, and learning. Learning in and through drama is seen as being socially organized, whole person learning that mobilizes and integrates the bodies and minds of learners. Making signs and meanings through various forms of drama, it is interactive, experiential learning that is semiotically mediated via physical activity. Alongside the various forms of drama that circulate in wider culture, sociocultural theories of learning have also influenced drama pedagogies in schools. In the later part of the 20th century and into the 21st century, drama practices have diversified and been applied as a means of learning in a range of community- and theater-based contexts outside of schooling. Practices in drama education and applied drama and theater, particularly since the late 20th century and into the early 21st century, have been increasingly supported by research employing a range of methods, qualitative, quantitative, and experimental.

And Migration

The events and processes of the recent decades drive us to awake from the hypnotic illusion of the ‘end of history’. The ‘return of history’ is not only a necessary step that has to be taken, but it is ontologically inevitable. Blinded by the mobile army of metaphors, metonyms and anthropomorphisms, we need to see that the processes of the 21st century are no different from the old politics which were recorded in history, thus it is unavoidable to think within the ‘dialectics of Old and New’. Globalization, relativization of values, removal of borders and the re-narration of borders in previously unseen areas lead us to an existential zero point. Borders play significant self-determining and self-definition role in our life and society, thus their relocation, reorientation and blurring of their meaning is a question that has to be analysed and closely watched. Together with the narration of borders, the narration of security plays major role. Migration and the question of open, permeable borders have become one of the most important security narrations of our everyday life.

The question of morality has always been an important issue in a society. Furthermore, moral education is a key framework for personal development. In the 21st century, there is an increasing issue of how to teach young people morality. This paper presents how moral education is conducted in China and the US, with the aim of introducing and inspecting their examples, considering thus our moral education from another perspective and giving suggestions how to change it and how to implement it. Moral education only makes sense if extends throughout all levels of education, including not merely theoretical level but also practical activities, which are highlighted in this paper. These practical activities should not be isolated examples of enthusiastic individuals, but a systemic solution. There is a need for a specific curriculum for implementation of moral education in schools through school subjects and extracurricular activities, activities with a class teacher, charity actions, individual rewards, competitions in motivational speeches or essays about morality, and so on. Briefly, it is necessary that morality becomes an integral part of everyday life both in school and out of it.

В статье анализируется появление нового типа героя-трикстера во французской литературе первого десятилетия XXI века, фиксация М. Пажем иных, чем прежде, стратегий и тактик приспособления человека к стремительно изменяющейся технологической и информационной среде. Повседневная жизнь современного горожанина формируется на пересечении сектора, которым он управляет, и сектора, который ему не подвластен. Именно на этих стыках происходит вечно изменяемое столкновение между естественными (физиологическими) и социальными ритмами. Уже во второй половине XX века повседневная жизнь горожанина превратилась в зону чистого потребления, порождая скуку, ухудшая качество жизни, препятствуя реальному самовыражению. Герой романа «Как я стал идиотом» намеренно надевает маску шута и использует гибкую тактику ускользания, сопротивляясь жесткой рациональности буржуазного общества. Установка эмпирического автора нацелена на осмеяние безграничного потребления, ироническое осмысление основных положений постиндустриального общества. В романе критически переосмысливаются практически все европейские метаповествования (религия, история, образование, медицина, социальные структуры, финансы, роль Франции во Второй мировой войне и т. д.). Ирония автора нацелена на высвечивание повседневных реалий скуки, насмешку над социальными обещаниями свободного времени и досуга, которые вместо духовного развития ведут человека в тупик безграничного потребления. Герой романа, предприняв попытку приспособиться к жестким законам консюмеризма, прилагает все усилия к изменению собственной повседневной жизни. Ускользание героя в невидимую зону, которая не контролируется «дивным новым миром», позволяет ему сохранять собственную индивидуальность и судьбу. The article analyzes the appearance of a new type of trickster characters in French literature of the first decade of the 21st century. It analyzes the way M. Page depicts strategies and means used by a person to adapt to the rapidly changing technological and information environment. Everyday life of a modern city dweller teeters between spheres subservient to the city dweller and spheres they fail to control. This juxtaposition results in a conflict between natural (physiological) and social rhythms. In the second half of the 20th century, everyday life of a city dweller focused on consumption, generating boredom and deteriorating the quality of life, depriving one of real self-expression. The character of the novel “How I Became Stupid” intentionally wears the disguise of a jester and, repelled by the cruel rationality of bourgeois society, uses a slithering-away tactic. The author mocks at endless consumption and treats the major principles of post-industrial society with irony. The novel critically reassesses practically all European metanarrations (religion, history, education medicine, social structures, finances, the role of France in World War II and so on). The author’s irony is aimed at highlighting everyday boredom, at mocking at social promise of leisure and spare time which instead of spiritual development lead people to endless consumption. After an attempt to adjust to the rigidity of comsumerism, the character of the novel does his best to change his everyday life. The character eludes the brave new world and escapes its manipulative grasp, which enables him to preserve his individuality and shape his own destiny.

Emotional intelligence constitutes an important 21st century skill that impacts positively several areas of everyday life. It contains competencies that enhance the ability of other significant skills for self-development. The main purpose of this study is to present the way we can develop and improve our emotional intelligence based on the pyramid model and its nine layers. To achieve this goal, the paper seeks to address the following question: What are the metacognitive and metaemotional skills and strategies that can play a key role in developing, enhancing and improving emotional intelligence?Extensive reference is made to the skills that involved in each layer and have been identified as necessary and should be cultivated by the individual leading gradually to the higher levels of self-actualization and transcendence. Furthermore, we suggest some strategies in each layer that work auxiliary and supportive for the cultivation of the specific skills.Metacognitive and metaemotional skills and strategies are necessary to conquer the levels of emotional intelligence and to apply in a variety of contexts with the aim of developing emotional intelligence and self-improvement.
