Abstract:

Myth plays a significant role in the history of European culture, influencing its forming and developing. Notably, the myth appears not only as a cluster of literary subjects, but also as a particular way of world reception and thinking. Thus, often mythological subjects and archetypes constitute the basis for several types of creative works, enter psychological and philosophical theories, become parts of political and ideological discourses, mass media, commercial. However, the inner codes of the myth which constitute it as a phenomenon of consciousness, seem to be inherent to all these cultu

Abstract:

This paper presents the result of researching the mythical conceptions of history in the West, which shed light on numerous cultural and political data that entered the sphere of the imaginary reflected in religions, utopias, and finally, in art. The study is structured in three parts, namely: the three scenarios of universal history; the significant myths of great narratives; the problems of the myth of unique time. These aspects bring into question and demonstrate the importance of the imaginary for the understanding of cosmological and anthropological time.

The appeal to the topic of socio-ontological research of political myth is caused by the fact that in the conditions of rapidly becoming more complicated socio-political reality and the emergence of qualitatively new entities of social and political existence, conceptually holistic approaches to the study of political myth are practically not covered in Russian and world literature against the background of many political science, linguistic and socio-cultural studies.The purpose is to reveal the ontological essence of the political myth within the framework of its theoretical and p

Abstract David Armitage and Jo Guldi’s History Manifesto has sparked an important debate in the United States. This article criticizes three specific aspects of their work. First, it takes issue with their description of a “moral crisis” of history, which they postulate without any discussion of serious epistemological and political issues. Second, it calls into question their enthusiasm for technological solutions, an ideological stance highlighted by their call for a return to long-term history and large-scale syntheses relying on the crunching of vast quantities of digitized data.

Salvador Espriu is one of the main authors of the revival of Catalan theater after the civil war of 1936. In a climate of political and linguistic repression, he wrote Primera història d'Esther in a language that seemed doomed to death.

We assert that among the newest myths, which significantly affect the value orientations and life standards of each society, a special place is occupied exactly by the national-state myth.

The issues of family and marriage relations have traditionally been of concern to historians and politicians since ancient times. In this regard, the unusual circumstances of the marriage of the sole heir of the Seleucid empire, Antiochus, and his stepmother Stratonica could not remain without the attention of ancient authors who tried to rationally explain this event. The purpose of this work is to study one incident from the life of the Seleucid queen Stratonica, compare different versions in the sources and clarify the factors that influenced the historical and literary tradition about her.

Abstract:

The political significance of masses is more obvious than ever. The aim of this article is to develop a conceptualization capable of capturing the dangerous (totalitarian) as well as promising (potentially emancipatory) aspects of masses. It argues that, intricately, the dangers and fruitful potentials of masses are born out of the same fundamental structural features. We may differentiate analytically between different kinds of masses, but all masses contain elements of ambiguity. The mass conceptualization developed builds on a critical, deconstructing interpretation of selected Bataille tex

This work analyzes the geological aspects of the Jesuit Diego de Rosales (1603/1605-1677) Historia General del Reino de Chile, Flandes Indiano (1674). Rosales, during his religious labour in Latin America, in addition to subjects related to geography, climatology, zoology, botany, ethnography and political history, collected valuable data about geodynamics, vulcanism, seismology, and Andean minerals, rocks and fossils. The author follows the interpretive schemata of Aristotelian natural philosophy, with influences of organicism and diluvism. Flandes Indiano’s geological observations are equall

The purpose of the article is to reveal the negative aspects of using the term "empire" to characterize the Russian state and determine its geopolitical nature. The research is based on the achievements of a linguistic turn in socio-humanitarian studies, which have not yet been adequately taken into account in legal science. Leximes, as units of a particular language, do not simply denote certain phenomena of the surrounding world, but function as peculiar entities that determine the horizons of a native speaker, a particular picture of the world including value preferences and attitudes.

Abstract:

Ever since Malinowski formulated his concept of myths as charters, there has been a tendency among anthropologists to regard origin myths more or less as post factum constructs designed to legitimize existing privileges and positions. A classic example of this pragmatist view is Leach's study of political systems in highland Burma, in which he attempts to demonstrate that origin myths change with clocklike regularity in response to shifts in the political constellation. More recently, however, voices have been raised, particularly among historians, which insist that a society's past cannot alw

The whirlwind of decolonization that swept the British Empire after the Second World War became one of the largest political, economic and sociocultural processes in the history of the XX century, whose legacy can be traced to the present days. In the course of it, the gigantic cultural layer of imperial mythography, which was formed during the XVIII–XIX centuries and based on the ideas of militarism and military propaganda, was rethought. Despite the numerous studies reflecting various cultural aspects of the imperial ideas’ transformation, there are practically no special works devoted to th

By making explicit what is implicit in Igbo non-philosophy, the author hopes to offer some grounds for answering the question of why political centralization was/is resisted in Igbo society.

On August 1, 1990, there was an unprecedented event in the Ukrainian town of Chervonohrad: a crowd gathered at the central square and, for the first time in the USSR, demolished a monument to Lenin. The demolition caused a political scandal and was the first of a chain of Lenin statue topplings all over Soviet Ukraine and beyond. Chervonohrad’s deconstruction is often compared to the array of Lenin statue demolitions that took place during the 2013-14 Ukrainian Revolution. Yet, this historic comparison does not answer the question: why was Chervonohrad, out of all the Soviet political centres

Textbooks reacted quickly to changes in the public debate and have increasingly attempted to deconstruct colonial narratives. However, implicit mental conceptions of African “backwardness” continue to exert some influence even on today’s textbook generation. On th

The identity of Calcutta has often been associated with the goddess who gave the city its name: Kali, the black divinity of death and destruction. Many examples of this imagery can be found in literature, where the Goddess and her myth are used as a metaphor to describe Calcutta. The deathly and violent connotations of Kali are extended to the city, which is depicted as a ‘metropolitan nightmare’, a place identified with overpopulation, poverty, political riots and sickness. Goddess Kali -the city's symbolic ideal-type - was used as an entry point to investigate certain aspects of Calcutta's n

Scholars in ancient near eastern studies have contributed mainly to the legal and economic aspects of family history. Frequently the work done has centered on philological questions. The cuneiform data on the Mesopotamian family, accidental and all too often limited, is spread over a period of some three thousand years.
