Every year, both in the world and Poland, electronic dance music events are organized. Tourists who attend them can be named cultural tourists (of modern culture) because of their often wide knowledge of the subject and their frequent participation in the events. The article is an attempt to investigate this rarely-analyzed phenomenon in the context of cultural tourism. It includes the following: the outline of music events history in Poland, the description of their character and organization, and a more detailed characteristic of some chosen events. The key part of the article presents the results of empirical research regarding tourists’ participation in such events in Poland and abroad.

The study deals with situating a literary work between general properties (laws) of literary discourse and singularity, between institution and idiom. According to Derrida, singularity cannot be achieved without participation in generality. A literary work as a singularity is not isolated – in order to be read as a singularity, it must be juxtaposed with other works, which it differs radically from. G. Deleuze paraphrases Proust saying that a writer invents a new language within a language. This other language within the previous natural and literary language, however, does not only have to function on the linguistic (stylistic) level, but also on the level of the „secondary language “, the system of literary codes and conventions. It may transcribe and transform not only the level of language in the common sense (deviated syntax) but also genre conventions (e.g. deviated crime story), literary etiquette. This language is not torn off the „old language “ (primary system), but it is created as its redesign. From the viewpoint of the „middle“ perspective of an individual literary work, the work (event) can thus become – for instance – a radical transformation of a particular genre structure. The genre norm, which is overcome by the given work, becomes a system of conventions, with regards to which this work is comprehensible: a genre is a condition of possibility of partial comprehensibility of an innovative work. Such a work is a sort of message partly encoded in a familiar language which flows into an unexpected, unknown language. A work – singularity, an event establishes a new code – idiolect. The work – event (an event as something that is unrepeatable by definition) is thus – according to Derrida – always pre-infected with a repetition structure so that it could be read at all.

The aim of the paper is to interpret systematically M. M. Bakhtin’s views on genre. Although Aristotle was the first among philosophers – and one of the first among thinkers in general – who focused on the issues of the artistic and rhetorical genres, philosophy ignored these issues for a considerably long time. One of the first philosophers who approached the issue of genre within a wider context of the philosophy of language was Mikhail M. Bakhtin, a Russian philosopher and literary scholar. As early as in the 1920s he started to reflect on the so-called small speech genres. It later served him as the basis for a remarkable theory of the primary and secondary genres. Bakhtin is a world-wide renowned novel theoretician, but his genre theory is no less topical, since it corresponds with the issues focused on by philosophers much later.

The essay is an attempt to think about the problem of thinking and its status. We want to find out whether thinking – not a thinker! – can or cannot be proud of itself. What is thinking doing when it is thinking (about an idea)? What is thinking and where is the idea? We primarily focus on by what thinking is transformed and formed. The term “event” has been chosen for this task. Who has, however, seen the event? Is there any possibility to imagine experience or make the event present in any particular way? Can thinking, in a certain moment, adhere to an idea in such a way that it becomes the idea and that it occurs? And what happens with the idea when such an event occurs?

The essay addresses the problem of how to link culture and causality. The starting point is an appeal to J. Kmita’s socio-regulative conception of culture where culture is given in terms of the propositional attitudes communally defined. Since human actions are physical events, one can ask if they can enter into the causal relationship with other physical events. The problem is that this relationship is given to an agent through the cultural mediation. The mediation in question is possible due to the symbolic relationship embedded in the so-called symbolic sphere presupposed by Kmita’s conception. The causal relationship is therefore derived from the symbolic relationship. It is also the communal language which expresses the attitudes in question that is of a symbolic nature. Kmita’s conception then allows one to understand not only the communal nature of culture. It also shows how the human beings culturally defined live in a world of causality.

The article provides an overview of the collaboration of oral history researchers and life history researchers in Estonia with researchers from Latvia, Lithuania and Finland. This is an interdisciplinary collaboration, which has formed over the past 12 years and unites folklorists from Finland, sociologists from Latvia and Lithuania, and researchers of different disciplines from Estonia. The Estonian term 'pärimuslik ajalugu' (oral history) is dealt with in the context of the related concepts of 'oral history' and 'life history research' ('biographical method'). The article focuses on the points of convergence and differences in methods, terminology, and research problems, which have revealed in the course of the collaboration. It is shown how the research (from terminology to research problems) is connected with the historical dimension of the development of research on the one hand, and with the dialogue in a common space of thought, on the other hand. The article observes in more detail the confluence of ideas in the dialogue of the mentioned collaboration space; these are grouped into the categories 'oral', 'written', and 'event', and represent a combination of experience, reality, and expression.

The article presents potential relationships between an event and the tourist market of the chosen destination. The characteristic of the issue has been based on one of the most important cultural events in great Britain in 2011 – Prince William and Kate Middletown’s wedding. The starting point was the theoretical analysis of the event and event tourism essence as well as of the relationship between them and the tourist market. The study characterizes the kind of influence that events have on tourism and the local community, i.e. economic, socio-cultural and environmental. Further on, the author presents a few chosen issues regarding the meaning of the analyzed event for the tourist market of Great Britain, for example: including the event in promotional activities of some chosen tourist organizations and in some companies’ offers, as well as the estimated effect of the even on British destinations.

The methodology of school praxis, especially as regards the constructing of encyclopaedic knowledge, is based primarily on factual and historical classification of social phenomena. In this sense, the codification of written Stur's standard Slovak is primarily treated as a current historical event that should have its specific date. The problem is that indication of date which is in school classes traditionally signed to this event (year 1843) and generations of teachers present it to the students as a historical fact is not accurate. The aim of this paper is to show opportunity to choose the date from three major events associated with the codification ambition of Stur and his fellows. The paper deals with the detailed characteristics of these events and their interpretation as regards the codification of Stur's standard Slovak.

The article is devoted to the social-cultural phenomenon of eventization. Events, also called “great mass events”, gain ever greater significance in various domains of social life. The author tries to answer the questions about what in fact an event is, what characteristics distinguish it from other social situations, and what function it performs in the postmodernist society. She also analyzes developmental tendencies that have led to the great and ever increasing popularity of this phenomenon. Events are new forms of socialization, different from both traditional communities and modern associations. Their popularity results from the fact that they fit the expectations of the modern man better than other forms do. It is true that the modern man misses community, but at the same time he would like to avoid the effort and risk that are connected with building close inter-human relations.

The Narrative Event as an Occasion of Emergence

88%
EN
Some recent approaches to narratology have presented the event as a basic constitutive element of narrativity. The event is considered either a primitive term or something that just happens or may happen, a change from one state to another. The underlying concepts are identity, state, and being. The article describes the event in general and the narrative event in particular from the perspective of the primacy of becoming, change, and flow, employing especially Whitehead's philosophy of process and also certain concepts developed by reception aesthetics. The narrative event is analyzed in the context of the following concatenation: the event - interconnected events - plot - fictional world - the real world and its potentiality. The aim is to understand a narrative event not as an interruption of the receptive flow, but as its change of course among levels of emergence.

A laughing is an event of alteration. Without alteration laughter wouldn’t be possible. This paper aims at describing laughter and alterity as intertwined phenomena. Therefore it investigates five different dimensions of alterity within the phenomenon of laughter. The source material for this study is provided by a series of monographs about laughter which were published during the 20th century: beginning with Henri Bergson’s Laughter, followed by Helmuth Plessner’s Laughing and Crying, Hans Blumenberg’s The Laughter of the Thracian Woman, Milan Kundera’s Book of Laughter and Forgetting and finally by Peter L. Berger’s Redeeming Laughter. By describing the social, corporal, historical, phenomenal and redeeming alterations of laughing a new performative ethical perspective on the phenomenon of laughter will be shown.

The topic of analysis of processes and events is becoming increasingly widespread not only in analytical philosophy but also in computer science, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence. Different philosophical approaches to conceptualizing events and processes are compared to obtain the basic concepts, their specification, and interrelationships in this contribution. A conceptual framework for process ontology is proposed, close to natural language and based on John Sowa's approach and the linguistic theory of verb valency frames.

This paper is devoted to the issue of the so-called second existence of folklore, in folkloristics designated by the term folklorism. In the processes of folklorism phenomena of traditional culture make their way into a communication system where a technical type of communication prevails. Folklorism is based on a change of the context or often on a stylisation: on processes of levelling and typicisation in a direction from local to global, with the local taking on a symbolic value. In the author’s view, the phenomena of folklorism are a manifestation of contemporary popular culture, where interest in traditional culture/folklore represents one of the alternatives for self- identification of the individual, as a member of the so-called folklore community in the context of free time activities. She addresses also the concept of authenticity, analysing the articulation of space in three events of folklorism in Slovakia: the Východná Folklore Festival, Rozprávačské Lodno (storytelling) and Posolstvo piesní Slovensku a svetu (singing).

The paper deals with the latest literature concerning the concepts of poetics and event. The searches conducted by the author are based on Petrer Zajac´s conceptual reflexion on new poetics, which is understood by him as poetics of text and poetics of event. In recent German (and partly also Czech) publications Kazalarska is seeking impulses for further development of theoretical background which would make it possible to grasp interconnections between poetics of text and poetics of event and track the points of transition between them as well as their potential overlaps and entanglements. The first part of the paper shows the current use of the conceptual dimensions of poetics, which is related to both the process of developing literary science into a cultural science and the process of establishing the concept of performativity. A comparably big „boom“ can then be recognized in case of poetics of event, which has been closely examined by literary science lately. The other part of the paper is focused on the question asking to what extent it is possible to talk about „eventness“ on the level of a literary text. What becomes the centre of attention is the materiality of writing, which belongs to the newest fields of poetics and which fulfils its poetic potential exactly on the interface between poetics of text and poetics of event and oscillates between the two types of poetics. The subject of the final thought is the literary historical place and poetological significance of the materiality of writing within Slovak literature after 1945.

The article analyzes the interdependency of event, experience, and narrating. What does the event consist of in academic historical research and in oral history? How do narrators define events in everyday life, when reminiscing and narrating? The article discusses the event as the common area of history and anthropology. The aim of the article is to search for new information on historical processes that are observed through the experience of contemporaries of such events by analysing the interdependency of the event and the experience, and how they are expressed. A precise analysis of two event narratives that remain in the borderland of oral and written expression is used to disclose the processes of social breakthrough in the 1890s: women entering the previously male-dominated areas of life and the resulting power struggle, the activities of temperance societies in changing student life, the development of new communities and new means of expression. The narrative styles and genre transformation were caused by the fact that the existing means of expression were inadequate for recording the changes that occurred and were perceived in the society.

The article addresses the concept of life in relation to humanities as seen by Hannah Arendt. In the 1950s, Arendt criticized humanities for their inability to understand the specific character of the world as a space of appearance in which historical events take place. Instead they focused on grasping the expressions of human nature and/or a human as being stripped of normal relations to the others. These two moments are inherently intertwined since the latter is possible only under the condition of worldlessness. Arendt’s aim is not only to provide a methodological alternative, but also to understand the historical conditions under which the world as a condition and framework of understanding is abandoned. In her approach the concept of life is of central importance, since it is the background against which modern self-interpretation takes place and is therefore the formative condition of the absence of the world.

The paper tries to find answers to the problem of current influential dichotomies such as virtual-physical, natural-artificial and, through that, also subjective objective. We will try to show how these boundaries are blurred in the current socio-political situation and point out the problems in defining those using classical concepts. The problem is the contradiction between fixed identity and fluidity. To analyse this contradiction, we use Georg Picht’s text The Idea of Nature and its History and also the concept of evential hermeneutics of Claude Romano. Both authors develop Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. It turns out that the problem of this dichotomy lies in the identity of the transcendental subject, in the definition of the subjective inside of man versus the outside, and in the definition of nature not as a physis but as a quantitative world. The solution to this problem can be found in the concept of temporality. Both authors follow dynamic thinking about the world and about existence with their concepts of emergence-from-self, energy, three modalities of time, event and advenant, in which the emergence from self, process and nothingness are postulated instead of inside, solidity and fullness. At the same time, a different view of human existence is essential for both of them and this is closely related to the artistic dwelling of man in the world. The result is a different way of thinking about the world and nature, in which a different solution to the current problem of crossing the virtual and the physical is offered.
