The aim of this article is to reveal different conceptions of photography, with special stress on one of the basic problems of photography - the relation between photo images and reality. The awareness of this discussion and different points of view seam to be important for researches interested in the field of visual sociology and sociology of photography. This article consist of two main parts. The first part presents those conceptions of photography which explore the idea of ontological identity between photographical images and pre-photographical situations. Works of a few classical authors are described at this point: W. Benjamin, A. Bazin, R. Barthes, S. Sontag. Contrary to these conceptions, we may find different ways of analyzing images as a subjects involved in ideology. The second part is devoted to these issues. The authors like J. Tagg, V. Burgin, Jo Spence examine images as a political tool, which is always used by different groups in their particular interests. J. Tagg uses the philosophical conceptions of Foucault (power/knowledge) and Althusser (ideology). The last author presented in this overview of modern photographical theories is V. Flusser, with his idea of philosophy of photography understood as a philosophy of freedom.

The study deals with the ballad as a genre in the official poetry of the peak period of Czech Stalinism (1948 – 1954). It juxtaposes the basic definition of the folk ballad with the contemporary concepts of the folkiness, order and death, it examines the social ballad in the context of the Stalinist interpretation of literary history and in addition to that it draws attention to possible uses of the cantastoria as a tool of political campaign and mocking old order followers. The writer uses a corpus of the contemporary poems to demonstrate the new life of the ballad as a tool of heroicizing the war heroes and demonizing the „Imperialist war provocatuers“, and also the unintentional transition of the ballad stories into the common „literary life“. The offered statements about the collision between the traditional interpretation and the ideological outline of the genre and the new concepts try to look into the relation between the contemporary official poetry and the tradition, the mechanism of adopting old schemes, transforming them and adding new contents to them.

If the research results serve their purposes, the supporters of specific ideologies make use of them in political actions such as educational reforms. That does not leave too much room for neutrality. The fact is that the debates on education have always been political struggles about who shall specify what should be taught. The two decades of attempts to integrate the public education system with the market brought about sectarian controversies in the USA. The supporters of a democratic school are convinced that its major aim is to shape citizenship as a way of living, while the advocates of a market school think that such aim consists in shaping consumption as a way of living. The latter ones say that they put forward instrumental means to achieve the required and universal targets. The conflict between these camps is normative and philosophical. It focuses on the question who and what shall set up political aims of public education. The key question in this dispute is a question whether the market is a utilitarian and instrumental answer to a clearly specified set of educational problems or whether it is an ideological agenda. The clarification of positive and normative dimensions of market theory and neoliberal ideology will be one of the aims of this paper.

The paper analyzes the typology of imagery of Aeternitas in the coinage (from Vespasian to the Tetrarchy) propagating the concept of emperor’s eternity. The iconography of Aeternitas is not homogenous, being characterised by an abundance and diversity of motifs and representations. One thing that would not change, a common denominator of sorts, was the figure of a woman in a long dress. Her attributes, however, did fluctuate and depending on their kind symbolised either cosmic eternity or renewable time (phoenix). Aeternitas personified by a woman in long dress, shown in contrapposto, holding a radiant sun and moon was introduced on the reverses of coins in the Flavian period and continued to appear until Hadrian. During that time, the astral attributes would be exchanged for other devices, but although these insignia changed over time, the figure in a long tunic remained, as a permanent  and originally Roman element in the iconography of female personifications of the Roman Empire.

The essay “Ideology as a cultural system” (Clifford Geertz) shapes scientific thinking about ideology for several past decades. In order with Geertzs notion, ideology represents symbolic system. We should understand this system in order with the rules of symbolic expression. My objection towards this notion lies in the argument that this is non-adequate if we don’t know what is just symbolized. The matter of misunderstanding lies in non-adequate definition of the object; in other words, in non-adequate definition of what ideology is.

The article is devoted to the contemporary developments of the 16-century-old professional philosophy in Georgia. The term 'contemporary' here defines the period after 1953 in soviet and post-soviet Georgian history, when totalitarianism remained, albeit in its milder form. Along with the recognized philosophers (Sh. Nutsubidze, K. Bakradze, S. Danelia, S. Tsereteli, Z. Kakabadze, et al.) the achievements of young philosophers working in Georgia, as well as abroad, are shown in the article.

The presented paper sets a goal to defend the concept of the meditative fairy tale amongst the other existing genres of the literary fairy tale. The introduction includes the description of the contemporary ununified genre classification of literary fairy tales at home and abroad. Its comparison with the genre of the philosophical fairy tale leads to reflecting on the meditative fairy tale as an autonomous genre in literature for children and youth and it points out its specific tendencies towards the „sacrum“ space. The paper makes an attempt to define these writings against abackground of the ideas formulated by the Romanian religious studies scholar Mircea Eliade and the contemporary research in the field of literature for children (Andričíková, Kubeczková, Magalová and others). Reading meditative fairy tales is recommended to all age groups. It presents a literary text of an intimate atmosphere for readers of all ages, where every human emotion comes to life – including the serious, gloomy, cheerless ones, which are rarely employed in literature for children. In the conclusion, the paper suggests new possible ways of looking at the evolution of the literary fairy tale in Slovakia against a background of the research into the „archetypical“ genre of the literary fairy tale – the fairy tale featuring Christian and didactic tendencies.

The article focuses on one of the factors affecting the political representation of women: political culture. Defined as the level of egalitarian gender culture in a country as related to politics in particular, its open forms can be measured in public opinion polls. But the article focuses on two less apparent forms of differentiation between the sexes in relation to politics. The first is the different way in which each gender relates conceptually to power. The second difference relates to the view that equal representation is not too important. An in-depth analysis using ideological analysis (a type of CDA) even reveals the existence of a divided concept of freedom according to gender, which is obscured by a set of other divides, such as politics versus culture, public versus private, love versus personal autonomy.

The aim of the article is to highlight the crucial issues related to the concept of terrorism in political sciences. First, the notion of terrorism is defined. Next a dichotomy between two basic modes of perceiving terrorism is shown that raises the most controversy among scholars since it touches upon such issues as the evolution of terrorism and its causes. Also the evolution of the causes of terrorism is presented with emphasis on the major quantifiers of this phenomenon, and the duration of modern terrorism has been divided into stages dominated by particular ideological trends. Analysis of those trends focuses mainly on similarities and differences between them in order to verify the functioning myths.

The article will revolve around the following questions: First, who uses and defines the concept of ideology in the field of classical studies and how? Second, is the use of ideology preceded by discussion about this concept? Third and last, is this concept useful for the classics or can we do without it when talking about Athenian democracy, society, and drama? The author concludes that not all scholars pay particular attention to discussion about ideology. We can find quite different attitudes to the use of ideology from the ’eighties to the’ nineties, from the negative (Loraux, Goldhill) to the mixed uses of the term (Croally). The word ideology usually served classical scholars as a substitute for a mental map or structure of social thought. From this point of view we can very often do without ideology in the field of classical studies.

The author tries to make an attempt to define the term „ecologism” because of its equivocality. For ones authors it is an idea, which has to be include to life to protect people and the world before extermination, whereas for others it is a contemporary variety of an ideology which could be quite dangerous for a man. The author defines it treating ecologism as a new political stream near to conservatism, liberalism and socialism. Taking into consideration the philosophical and ethical categories using in the environmental philosophy the author explains that ecologism should be connected with the anthropocentric model for environmental ethic, than it will not be dangerous for a man. This ethical stream can also be...with the paradigm of balanced development.

The main intention of the paper is to discern particular female features in the travel story that belonged to the most popular literary genres of the 19th century. The travel story may be considered a male genre as women writers hardly took a share in creating its modern shape. The genre of travel story was very important for the Slovak literature of the 19th century: according to Zlatko Klatik, a specific Slovak variant of this genre was created, which he calls 'the ideological travel story', in order to convey both the ideas of national sovereignty and co-operation of Slavonic nations. Regarding this context, the paper is aimed at examining how all the features of this male genre were modified in the only one Slovak ideological travel story of the 19th century written by a woman - 'Pani Georgiadesova na cestach. Vesely cestopis do Prahy na narodopisnu vystavu' by Terezia Vansova.

The lecture, which arises from concrete research done at the Institute of Bohemian Studies at Jihoceska univerzita, Ceske Budejovice, focuses on the possible methodological approaches in studying 19th-century Czech literature. Step-by-step, it recapitulates the way of the gradual creation of a methodological position, and at the same time illuminates the practical meaning of the instrumentalization of each individual theoretical postulate for literary historicism. The literary historicism is understood as an arbitrary algorithm, used in each step to define the point of view, the summary of the work tools and the terminological inventory. The goal is to liberate literary historicism from the constriction of the traditional, causal, linear understanding, yet at the same time prevent the break-down of the literary historical position in the windstorm of widely understood cultural studies.

The article discusses ideology and utopian proposals with respect to their tense orientation, ie. orientation toward the past, the present or the future. Comprehensive proposals for a major modification of social arrangements that encompass economy and social change have to distinguish between real life changes and their perception by the actors who introduce them. This distinction is made visible be the difference between purely theoretical ideological dogma and a broader utopian vision. The author claims that although narrowly conceived ideology is a world different from a utopian blueprint this distinction is blurred by their tense orientation. As he says, at the level of social being a strong intermingling of the past and the future is inevitable, and consequently verbal ideology cannot be cleanly separated from practical proposals.

The text is a scholarly commentary of the war novel 'Dead Do Not Sing' written by Rudolf Jasik in 1961. The study is a part of a wide conceived collective grant :'The 20th Century Key Slovak Literary Works' focused on the explanation of a literary work within a specific context of the national literature. The aim of the study is to characterise qualities of the Jasik's work, a key work in the context of close and farther literary environment, from the aspect of the history of literature, typology as well as its narrowly defined poetical features. The bases of the study is classification of the novel according to historically generic circumstances, typical for a part of Slovak prosaic texts depicting WW II and the national resistance, written per order, but in fact exceeding literary quality or at least relativising ideological demands to write under the plain-colour optic. This kind of literature includes works by D. Tatarka, A. Bednár or L. Lahola. They are symptomatically influenced by dramatic, tragic even absurd war experience (Tatarka's 'The Cock in Agony', Lahola's 'The Last Thing'). Some of the war testimonies or the war resistance experiences are patterned through parallel literary techniques and strategies (interpolation of the balladry structure into composition and narration of Bednár's 'The Glass Mout'). Jasik's novel connects techniques of autobiography and expressive existential involvement of the narrator with unusual topos of subject-composition intervention of the adventurous genre in ideologically stressed narration about relative character of heroism or a heroic act. Jasik's strong point is a hero modelled at the edge of a type and character. In his novel 'Dead Do not Sing' it is presented by a young guardian, later partisan J. Klako. From the literary aspect he does not fit with the scheme of an ideal character, but he is introduced as an adventurous easygoing figure. Only after a traumatized experience having faced unconditional choice in an extreme situation (life or death) he becomes a hero co-organizing dangerous liberating operation in an occupied city. In the novel 'Dead Do not Sing' Jasik introduces non-schematic picture of good and evil, brave and faint-hearted people. The war itself - apocalyptic, beyond all understanding is a real 'hero' of his unfinished trilogy - a man- exceeding modality unable to bring any conditions for ideological decoration and an idle opinion, typical for schematic literature. Beside Lahola's short prose Jasik's novel, as one of the few war theme texts in Slovak literature after 1945, fulfils European and worldly established concept of front line and war literature qualitatively comparable with the war texts of the Lost Generation authors.

Bednár and Uher’s work from the sixties can be regarded as a testimony about a period conditioned by totalitarian ideology and about a man who is confronted with turning moments in history. He increases his human value “only” by life, by the moral value choice, not by submitting to the norms of the system. That is why the screenplay (1968) and the film Three Daughters (1967) are targeted against totalitarianism. The contemporary communist ideology, which “writes the history” with language as an example of socio-cultural pressure, by its symbols as models for reality, is confronted with character personalities of the thematic historical section they have formed to the extent that they have different attitudes within individual discourses. In the story of Three Daughters the heroine defends her father and she beats “culture of power” only in the perspective.

By analysing literary works, correspondence, and other materials of the members of the secret political organization Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood, it became evident that the members were acquainted with the literary and scholarly works of Ján Kollár, Pavol Jozef Šafárik, Václav Hanka, and Ľudovít Štúr. Thanks to the use of biographical and, to a lesser extent, bibliographical methods, it was possible to make several clarifications concerning the familiarity of the members of the Brotherhood with a given publication – in particular with one of the books that V. Hanka sent to M. Hulak. The article clarified a circle of people from whom the members of the organisation could get information about Slovak and Czech personalities. The studied material constitutes a reliable factual basis for the further reconstruction of the echo of the views of Slovak and Czech leaders in the ideology of the Brotherhood. It is proved that the members of the Brotherhood were familiar – among others – with J. Kollár’s treatise O literárnej vzájomnosti [On literary reciprocity] or P. J. Šafárik’s works in Russian translations. There was also active interaction with the literary heritage of J. Kollár and V. Hanka that influenced the work of Mykola Kostomarov.

Folkloristics has traditionally focused on artistic expressions, which fulfil primarily aesthetic functions. The following paper, however, will be devoted to the genre of conspiracy theories, which I do not consider a folklore genre in the proper sense of the word but rather a narrative genre belonging to the category of rumours. The basic function of conspiracy theories is to mediate and to give a foundation of argument to a certain world-view model based on the motif of a group conspiracy. For the purposes of their genre analysis I have not consider the methods of ´´traditional“ folkloristics as a useful tool, and therefore I have tried to seek other methods proceeding from the distinctive qualities of these communication. As my research field I chose internet discussions, which meant concentrating on the written form of communication. The argumentative character and ideological anchoring of the texts being examined ultimately conditioned the selection of an appropriate research method in the framework of discursive analysis. The paper seeks to represent and offer for discussion the results of this experiment: a genre characterisation of conspiracy theories based on their typical argumentative strategies. My choice of theme in intended at the same time to evoke debate: to what extent is such a thematic and methodological purview acceptable within the bounds of folkloristic? Or if folkloristic paradigms are thus extended, what consequences may follow for Slovak folkloristics in the future?
