The article deals with a problem of self-identification in the literary works of Vladimir Minac. It comes out at two concepts of self-identification - an individual experience and a collective, confessional or national concept while the ambition is to depict it in the universal terms. The literary work of Vladimir Minac is an illustration of mutual interaction between two poles of self-identification mentioned above. Both of the poles condition each other, overlap and reshuffle depending on contemporary cultural and social context. Both aspects are not in an opposite contrary position, they complete each other dialectically. Minac comes with his own version of the 'national history' rooted in the romantic traditions. In his prosaic and essayistic works he often turns his attention to her as she means a refuge for him, his solid wall resistant against the attacks of the outer world. The country appears in many forms ('existential', 'constructional', 'romantic', 'private'), while she also represents a topically-thematic invariant placing over controversy and chaos of the people's world. The text is a part of a monograph of the literary works of V. Minac that is focused on the motif of country in his literary works.

(Title in Romani language: A cy na san tu Litvate? A czy na san tu Litwatyr? Rakiryben litewskone Romengro te lengiri identyfikacja). In the vast area, ranging from Kamchatka in the East to Brest and Bialystok in the West, dialects spoken by the local Gypsies are so close to each other regarding phonetics, morphology and vocabulary, that they make in fact one macro-dialect with local varieties. The details of these varieties can barely be noticed by a non-professional and a non-Gypsy. Nevertheless, these details play an important role in group identification and in the differentiating between Gypsy groupings. The author has intended to present the peculiarities of the dialect spoken by the Lithuanian Gypsies, which make it different from the whole bunch of vernacular Gypsy tongues of a broader area that includes (except of the Republic of Lithuania) Western Belarus, Eastern Latvia and neighboring parts of the Russian Federation.

The paper gives an analysis of the experience of potentiality in the temporal and spatial perspectives of human life. It also examines the interconnections of these perspectives. Both of them are substantial for philosophical counseling, which, according to the authoress, could be of help in balancing the two in people with related problems. Attention is paid also to potentiality in its relation to the idea of good life end the meaning of the latter for human life. The experience of freedom is closely connected with the experience of potentiality up to the last moments of life. This experience is related not only to the presence and future, but it also could (and in some cases even has to) look into the past. The description of some forms of achieved pseudo-freedom serves the further objective of the paper: the discrimination of the problems, which could be addressed by philosophical counseling.

The object of the study is a novella 'Prutene kresla' (Basket Chairs, 1963) written by Dominik Tatarka. This novella was published altogether with his other prose 'Demon suhlasu' (Demon of Permission). The Basket Chairs signalised the new and later also characteristic features of Tatarka's auctorial idiolect. After existentially surrealistic beginning and ideologically incorrect continuance Tatarka's prose had been since the end of 50-tieth (from his bi-novella 'Rozhovory bez konca' (Endless Conversations, 1959) influenced by his effort to find his own strategy in creating his message about the contemporary ethic and aesthetic problems. A theme of existence for other person became for him a medium of such message. It meant a voluntary but also spontaneous fellowship, personal involvement in a life and destiny of a neighbour. Since the end of 50-tieth Tatarka's literary works pursued 'hand by hand' with his essays and reportages. In spite of the author's as well as period's limits the novella 'Prutene kresla' connects all mentioned above influences in a good way. Modernity in that text bears a character of self-discovery and self-identification in the existentially vulnerable historical period and as well as in cosmopolite space of later taboo 'western' world. Except of that in a very interesting way the author worked with traditional cliche of a courteousness love epic. In that text Tatarka discovered his typical autobiographic protagonist who became a narrator. It makes the novella quite important in the context of his proses. Tatarka's narrator's stylisation is based on a connection between reminiscent story telling and evocation with exemplary didactic effects.

The long-term research of the state of traditional culture and institutional background of Slovaks living abroad by ethnologist Zuzana Drugová brings a deeper connection on the expatriate community and knowledge of the current needs and manifestations of the phenomena in question. As a manager of the Methodological Centre for Slovaks Living Abroad at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, she is dedicated to research various elements of the traditional culture of Slovaks in the “Low Land”. Special emphasis is placed on the specifics of their existence in the communities of folklore groups and as a motivating factor for the self-identification of members of the Slovak minority in the educational process. The paper provides an insight into selected aspects of the activities of institutions, personalities and of the presentation of the culture of Slovaks living abroad.

Ever since Strawson’s The Bounds of Sense, the transcendental apperception device has become a theoretical reference point to shed light on the criterion less self-ascription form of mental states, reformulating a contemporary theoretical place tackled for the first time in explicit terms by Wittgenstein’s Blue Book. By investigating thoroughly some elements of the critical system the issue of the identification of the transcendental subject will be singled out. In this respect, the debate presents at least two diametrically opposed attitudes: the first – exemplified in the works by Hacker, Becker, Sturma and McDowell – considers the features of the I think according to Wittgenstein’s approach to the I as subject while the second, exemplified by Kitcher and Carl, criticizes the various commentators who turn to Wittgenstein in order to interpret Kant’s I think. The hypothesis that I will attempt at articulating in this paper starts off not only from the transcendental apperception form, but also from the characterizations of empirical apperception. It may be assumed that Kant’s reflection on the problem of self-identification lies right here truly prefiguring some features of Wittgenstein’s uses of I, albeit from different metaphysical assumptions and philosophical horizons.

The aim of the study is to outline stratification of transformations after the ruptures of constitutional law in 1918 and 1948 and in the formative process of new national and cultural identity in the 20th century. We studied it on the materials of the literary texts. The historical research of Lubomir Liptak, the cultural studies of Ansgara Nunning and Renate Lachmann concerning national imagology - construction of the picture of oneself - served as a methodological background of the article. The changes in the literary figurativeness that indicates relationship to oneself and relationship with the others, auto and hetero-imagines comprehended in the historical crosscut as a differentiation remembering value of an authentic course of the self-identification processes. The memoirs of the WWI written by writers Jan Hrusovsky and Janko Jesensky represent two variants of the approaches toward reality. Hrusovsky's text 'Zo svetovej vojny' (From the WW) (1919) is an event record from 'below', from the position of an ordinary soldier in the front in Austria, later in Halic. He reflects his condition in the sense of horror, absurdity of a moment, and soul and flesh bifurcation. These motives appeared in the Expressionistic novels 'Muzz s protezou' (A Man with a Replacement) (1925) and 'Peter Pavel na prahu Noveho Sveta' (Peter and Pavel on the edge of the New World) (1930). The memories of Janko Jesensky's 'Cestou k slobode' (A Way to Freedom) (1933) are written from the position of 'redeemer', a member of foreign resistance, a soldier of Czechoslovak Leggie in Russia who realizes with full responsibility his involvement in formation process of the new republic and he comments the contradicted tendencies related to it. There is an agreement between Hrusovsky and Jesensky in characteristic of the Slovak national character although in the literary solution they accented the different poles of the way to the national independence: in case of Hrusovský it is individual self-identification and in case of Jesensky it is self-identification of the collective. The contribution of the study is the focus on another layer of reception of the WWI in Slovak literature after 1948. The authoress observes editorial praxis and evidence of the history of literature (absence) of the former memoirs (noetic vanishing point), and late concurrence in the late impulses of Modernism in the 60s of the 20th century (poetics).
