The paper outlines how the portrayal of “us” and “them” changed during the interwar period in the relational web from Prague to Bucharest. The collapse of the Monarchy had shaken some of the foundations of national self-perceptions and brought to the fore hitherto insignificant groups either as active protagonists of politics of identity or as significant others. Nevertheless, the old representations of each other had changed less markedly. The real novelty of the period was that the appearance of Hungarian minorities and their politics of identity enabled the creation of some temporary group constructs that transcended traditional ethnic boundaries and redefined ethnicity on a more region-centred basis

This article discusses the role of the Roma in Slovak society and different situational grounding of various approaches occurring in the 1930s and 1940s. The studied decades include the period of validity of the law Act No. 117/1927 Coll. about nomadic Gypsies from 1927 until 1950. Finally, few typical and recurrent examples were chosen based on research of archival materials (altruism, hatred, tendencies to isolation, confinement to labour or concentration camps, labelling of Roma etc.) and put into a wider historical and theoretical context. As a theoretical background, postcolonial approaches and the alterity concept by Emmanuel Levinas were employed. The main goal is to draft the notion of Slovak society about Roma at that time and what exactly it meant to be called “a Gypsy”.

This article aims at highlighting the specificities of Gaston Bachelard’s «La poétique de la rêverie» (The Poetics of Reverie), seen as the pivot of Motesquieu’s imaginary creation in Persian Letters. The Same and the Other are two essential terms when trying to find the place imagology plays in an intercultural approach where France and Persia are associated with an enchanted exoticism. Criteria such as space, taste, the marvellous and verisimilitude will be examined in order to analyse the images vehiculated by the perceived society (France) and by the perceiving one (Persia) and to evaluate Montesquieu’s genius for social irony.

Over the course of history distinct ecclesial communities emerged within Christianity emphasizing different values and varied aspects of the one faith. They meet for conversations and mutually recognize one another as separate corporative entities with their own identities and responsibilities. Their members also constitute a single temple inhabited by one Spirit, incorporated by baptism into one Lord and with one God at work in them, so that they are in some sense one community with a single identity. A theologian may obtain new insight into this mystery through the Dialogical Self Theory, which construes the human self as constituted by a multitude of I-positions with different, often contradictory, narrative voices, each telling its own story. It allows for a positive interpretation of the organizational division of the one Catholic Church as a process of articulating the ecclesial I-positions. This enables the Church to lead an internal dialogue in which it can be transformed and discover the fullness of the meanings entrusted to it. The paper presents DST intended to describe human individuals and its possible application to ecclesial reality.

During the three decades he lived in Japan, Wenceslau de Moraes (1854–1929) explored and identified the many nuances of the changes that took place during the Meiji era (1868–1912), a period of modernisation in Japan — modernisation based very much on a western model. His writings are of great use and relevance for anyone conducting research on twentieth-century Japanese society.
