The author discusses the problem of perception and understanding the community in post-modern reality. The question of functioning in the community and evolution of a sense of identity is considered as well. The author identifies some aspects of “being” in Diaspora and in relation to the Other/Foreign individual. The considerations take into account, first of all, the anthropological and philosophical point of view. The author addresses a question: Does “being” in the post-modern community have a new dimension? Significant terms of postmodern discourse, such as: Diaspora, identity of a Diaspora, hybrid identity, foreign individual, community of network or imagined community are also indicated. The considerations lead to the conclusion that one can be placed somewhere between an identity of Diaspora, widely described by Brah and Castells, and the Waldenfels’s phenomenology of the Foreign.

This article involves a qualitative research undertaken to elucidate how Ukraine's European identity is constructed by Carl Bildt, Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs. Specifically, the paper's aim is to identify conceptual metaphors used by Carl Bildt in his political online discourse concerning Ukraine within the timeframe from 1 April 2013 until 1 April 2014. In addition to this objective, the article explores whether or not concepts SELF as the EU and OTHER as non-EU respectively are embedded in conceptual metaphors identified in Bildt's discoursal space involving Ukraine's European identity. Results of the data analysis reveal several types of conceptual metaphors which are present in the corpus of Bildt's online discourse involving Ukraine: "EU as a Path", "EU as a Nurturant Parent", "EU as a House", "Ukraine's Politics towards EU as a Stock Market Crash", "Ukraine's Path to EU as Poland's EU Path" and "The EU Flag as a Symbol of the Better Future", respectively. These conceptual metaphors seem to be exacerbated by the presence of the concept SELF.

The article undertakes a critical reflection on the notion of proximity, which is one of the basic categories of Levinas’s philosophy of the Other. This notion is present in the work of Levinas at all stages of its development. In a way, it is a meta-category that takes on various functions, but is always used to emphasize the impossibility of achieving a permanent closeness with another. Proximity first occurs as a significant moment in the very genesis of the subject in the movement of hypostasis, then it becomes the hedonic closeness of the subject to himself in the act of delight (jouissance), but in the next step it takes the form of home proximity, which paradoxically leads to the separation of the subject. But this formation process of the egotistical subject is a preparatory phase needed to achieve ethical maturity through the encounter with the face of the Other. As it turns out, this encounter also has the structure of achieving both proximity and distance. Proximity is a necessary stage of transcending, and it reaches the very height of paradox: the face is physically close, and at the same time unattainable metaphysically. The Other, represented by another human being, is within the reach of your hand as a concrete person, but is, at the same time, infinitely distant and unknown as an absolute. The aporias of proximity are not, however, an element of Levinas’s method, such as the use of hyperbole or contradiction. He eliminates proximity as impossible, though its descriptions testify to the fact that he had knowledge of radical closeness and used the notion of proximity in the sense of a fulfilled community with another. In my interpretation, Levinas’s thinking is burdened by the trauma of loss of his loved ones, who cannot be brought back and therefore become the hidden object of metaphysical desire.

This article examines the strategies for creation of the images of the Other and the One-of-Us as exemplified in postmodern prose and dramaturgy (Evgenii Grishkovets’ drama Zapiski russkogo puteshestvennika [Notes of a Russian traveler], 2011; Maria Arbatova’s dramatic travelogue Po doroge k sebe [Eng. trans. On the Road to Ourselves, 1998], [1992] 1999; Vladimir Tuchkov’s hypertext novel “Russkii I Tszin” [Russian I Ching], 2009; Valerii Kislov’s comical treatise “Kratkii kurs u-vei” [A short course on wu wei], 2009). The close attention to the images of the East and the West and emphasis placed on similarities and differences with the Russian worldview is driven by the transitional character of Russian culture and its search for identity. The dominant strategy emerges in reviewing the outdated images of the Other and the One-of-Us. By creating these images, the authors employ a range of strategies: demythologization/mythologization, inversion, and apophatics. The common intention of the works lies in promoting cultural dialogue.

In the introductory part of the article, categories: THEM (ALIEN), OTHER and US were presented in the different configurations (complementary opposition, triad), that occur in the identity discourse. Then a group of inhabitants of Zelów, descendants of Czech religious emigrants, was presented and the determinants of their identity: language and confession. The article points out that the image of the descendants of Czech emigrants is varying over time: first a homogeneous group in the terms of religion, ethnicity and language, then a group assimilated linguistically and culturally.

We wstępnej części artykułu zostaną zaprezentowane kategorie OBCY, INNY oraz SWÓJ w różnych konfiguracjach (opozycja komplementarna, triada), obecnych w dyskursie tożsamościowym. Następnie przedstawione zostaną determinanty toż- samości: konfesja i język grupy mieszkańców Zelowa – potomków czeskich emigrantów religijnych. W końcowej części artykułu podkreśla się, że obraz potomków czeskich emigrantów jest zmienny w czasie: początkowo była to grupa homogeniczna pod względem wyznaniowym, etnicznym i językowym, a obecnie jest grupą zasymilowaną językowo i kulturowo.
