This article presents a reading of the major texts of Claude Levi-Strauss, from Tristes Tropiques to Mythologics through The Savage Mind, linking the theme of the dissolution of the subject with the horizon of an ecological catastrophe that orients its development. Subjectivity is described with the remains of structural analysis as a testimony of societies in a process of re-composition.

Alta Vášová returned to her literary roots in the mid-1990s. The paper deals with the expert reading, analysis of and comments on the proses that she included in her book titled Ostrovy nepamäti (The Islands of Non-Memory, 2008) overlapping with her later books Sfarbenia (Colorations, 2011) and Menoslov (The Name List, 2014). The paper is an attempt at identifying the particularity of the writer´s biographical writing, focus on detail and fragment as meaningful parts of the whole message in the original autobiographical writing. A part included in the paper is a reflection on stylistic possibilities of non-pragmatic narrative, which eliminates the borders between the author, the narrator and the genre in favour of new text strategies.

Alongside partial interpretation of the debut collection of proses by Gejza Vámoš Editino očko (Edita´s little eye, 1925), the paper is focused on modelling a constitution as well as decomposing some of the modalities of the literary subject, also defined in terms of literary movement. Attention is paid also to how these ways of representing the literary subject in Vámoš´s texts are related to the subject´s mood of melancholy. Vámoš´s paranoid character (of the short story Paranoik, The Paranoid) cannot live enjoy life because he lives in „death´s coldness“, which makes him already a corpse, although he is still alive – the future of the death is present during his life: therefore a paranoid lives his life in the melancholy mode. A paranoid´s abnormality segregates him from the low crowd (misera plebs) of people who forget about their mortality. Vámoš´s premises of biological philosophy suggest that a paranoid cannot be an exclusive subject, „a spiritual aristocrat“: it is because at the level of a biological species in Vámoš´s philosophy there occur destruction, dissolution of an individual in general. An individual helps the actual biological species perceive and feel itself, and it is the species that becomes the true subject, which is moulded into its manifestations, unimportant individuals. This is where Vámoš´s melancholy springs from. The eternity of life at the cosmological-biological level means the eternity of suffering at the level of individuals: eternal life (at the cosmological level), which cannot be ended (by a ridiculously feeble suicide of an individual), will eternally reproduce the mortality of individual atoms, individuals.

The author attempts at analyzing the question of subjectivity in the context of broadly defined epistemology and methodology of humanities and science. Employing theories of I. Wallerstein and B. Latour, the athor discusses transformations in understanding and interpreting the concept of the subject.

This paper focuses on the Slovak phraseme “figu borovú” (expressing the meaning a) absolutely not b) nothing at all), which is presented in Slovak lexicographic literature as a phraseme with the highest degree of morphological restriction (restricted to the form in the accusative of singular). However, the material in the Slovak National Corpus (sub-corpus of Slovak texts available on the web), in addition to the accusative form, also offers examples of the nominative type “figa borová”. The paper maps the occurrence of these forms and analyses them from the functional semantic and morphosyntactic aspects. A natural part of the topic is also the sociocultural dimension of the lexical unit “figa borová”, which is also related to its gestural anchoring (the gesture: a thumb inserted between the index finger and middle finger). The core of the study is therefore preceded by an introduction to the gestural paralinguistic background and a look at lexicographic works of synchronic and diachronic character capturing the semantic structure of the noun figa. Special attention is paid to the relationship of phraseological units mať, dostať, dať (to have, to get, to give) figu borovú – mať, dostať, dať (to have, to get, to give) šušku borovú, from the attributive aspect, that is, in the line of model – analogy with relation to the adjective borový, which is their component part.

The aim of the essay is to give a positive theory of the status of a subject in Wittgenstein's late writings. His analyses of psychological phenomena such as: thinking, wanting, hoping etc., form a picture of human being, but from negative side only. In defining a man a negative answer is much easier to find - the problem arises when we try to formulate a positive one. We know that a man is not isolated being but who is he? The supposed Wittgenstein's answer is that a man is a being whose humanity lies 'outside' of him. The source of his spiritual life comes from the outer, from the region which traditionally we count as strange for us.

Since the 2009/2010 school year the school implemented a new reform program, which provided changes associated with the expansion of entrepreneurship education. According to the new core curriculum, which will take effect in the first classes of secondary school in the school year 2012/2013, teaching entrepreneurship base will be carried out only in the primary, and there will also be introduced a new teaching subject of complementary economics in practice. Headmasters and teachers must decide till March 2011, which classes, if any, will be taught the new teaching subject. Therefore, this article is focuses on discussion of the teaching subject of economics in practice and the presentation of the challenges faced by those responsible for implementation of the classes.

In order to understand today’s social and political situation in East-Central Europe, one should examine in particular the consequences of post-socialist transformation. The negative and often very painful effects of the social changes that affected Central and Eastern Europe over the last three decades have not been overcome until today. This makes it all the more important to be better “prepared” philosophically for future social changes. François Jullien comes up with a theoretical solution. In the first part of my paper, taking Jullien’s book The Silent Transformations as a point of departure, I show that many of the problems that still exist in East-Central Europe largely result from placing too much emphasis on the event of the revolution and too little on the transformation experienced by the region’s populations. Such “intellectual blindness” may be seen as a consequence of the dominance of the transitological approach in political and social sciences of the time, which is analyzed towards the end of the first part through (an outline of) Boris Buden’s critique. In the second and third parts, I suggest, pace Jullien, a way towards a moderate, “sober”, but nevertheless creative and productive understanding of the active agent by appealing to the work of Hans-Herbert Kögler and Fabian Heubel.

In this study we pose once more the key question concerning Józef Tischner’s philosophical anthropology Was Józef Tischner – the creator of philosophy of drama – also a philosopher of dialogue? What, in his thought, is the essence of drama? What exactly is the relation between ‘I’ and ‘Thou’? Is drama ultimately about the creation and formation of the ‘Us’? Or is the primary importance to be assigned to the subject in the drama? How, according to Tischner, does the subject of the drama need to be formed so that the ‘encounter’ can occur? To what extent did Tischner remain a phenomenologist in his philosophizing? In his studies on the human condition, did he manage to overcome the vision of master and slave from Hegel’s philosophy? How much did his thought concerning dialogue evolve throughout the phases marked out by his successive works: ‘Philosophy of Drama’, ‘Controversy over the Existence of Man’ and ‘The Other’?

Relying on the philosophy of narrative the author focuses on Schelling's ontology. She presents the question of aestheticism and epistemological empiricism in Kant's philosophy, which means that she begins from the enfeeblement of reason also defined as depotentialisation of the philosophy of the subject. She shows how this topic is treated by Schelling in his System of Transcendental Idealism, and how it is connected with ontological pluralism, or with the conflict of mutually constraining wills, a conflict that tears apart the continuity of rationalistic deduction of a system from the original lack of differentiation between one I and the other. It is determined in the process that the concepts of dogmatic philosophy are derivative, dependent and partial. Such inquiries have been inspired by A. Renaut's: The Era of the Individual, and by the claim that Western metaphysics suffers from a discontinuity. The author also discusses the development of Schelling's thought. She shows how its early version is informed by Plato's Timaeus and finds its most characteristic expression in the philosophy of identity contained in the Philosophy of Arts. Its later version, due to its rich pluralistic and mythological themes can best be interpreted by recourse to the concepts of the philosophy of narrative proposed by M. Maesschalk.

The article is a proposal of looking at tourist souvenirs as objects of anthropological, sociological and cultural analysis. The aim of the article is to position the tourist souvenir research in the context of considerations regarding the meaning of objects in the modern “supermarket of culture”. Moreover, the considerations regard buying souvenirs which can be described as one of numerous tourist rituals and as a space of intercultural contact.

Ľubica Somolayová´s study Mikuláš Dohnány: Dumy (Contemplative Elegies) interprets one of the most significant texts of the author, a representative of Romantic generation, a cycle Dumy (Contemplative Elegies). She characterizes it in the wider context of his literary works. She analyses also some other texts (poems Improvizácia /Improvisation/ and Sen /The Dream/) inspired by romantic individualism and titanism. She mostly aimed at the poems with messianic motifs from the 40tieth of the 19th century (Slovo /The Word/, Zakliata krajina /Enchanted Country/, Syn Tatier /The Son of Tatras/). They became a starting impulse for her interpretation of Dumy (Contemplative Elegies). She considers the text as a symbiosis of the several romantic tendencies. Mikuláš Dohnány´s work proves the fact that an initial titanism is a common denominator typical for several messianic projects appreciating activity based on autonomous decisions of a subject made on behalf of the entire community. If the titanic act shows as non-realisable or it fails, the subject has a tendency to isolate, passively meditating in the shelter, waiting for an upcoming great historical change. The change does not come because of an autonomous decision of the subject, or the entire community, but in terms of messianic concept, it can come true only through meeting God´s plan.

The study focuses on one of the creative areas of the poet who represents a complex of the various tendencies in the context of Slovak Romantic poetry. The author deals with three selected pieces of writing, tradionally labelled as ballads: Zakliata panna vo Váhu a divný Janko /Enchanted maid in the Váh and strange Janko/, Pán v tŕní /Master in the thorn-bush/ and Zverbovaný /Recruit/, in which she examines the way the subject is constructed and the dominance of reflection, the way the emotional state and experiencing is evoked, which shroud the ballad suyzhet being the text plan to a great extent. She draws attention to how the constructed subject corresponds to Schelling´s concepts and his idea of the „abandoned“ mankind, when man stops relating to nature as the divine principle, as well as to Hegel´s idea of the godless world and the impossibility to perform a heroic act within its framework. The hero of a romance being much too human therefore changes to a tragically lonely hero, who is a problem for himself, he becomes an object of his observation, he thinks about his thinking self. This moment is a symptom of the Romantic subject´s existence alone, or the subject´s separation from the natural world, his position face-to-face to nature and his related incapability to feel like home in such a position and replace the natural laws with the moral ones.

The specificity of transition from the classics to the non-classics, and to the post-non-classics in the sociological theory is analyzed in the article. The main principles of the classic, non-classic and post-non-classic paradigms are postulated from the philosophical point of view. On this basis, the authoress states general definitions of the (1) subject, (2) cognitive method, and (3) social world pattern as methodological grounds of sociological episteme. In conclusion, two ways of analysis of social reality - transcendental and immanent - are considered as examples of realization of classic and non-classic paradigms in the contemporary sociological theory.

In connection with recent research conducted by several contemporary German scholars, such writers as Baum, Wolff and Reich, the author addresses the following problem: If the subject, conceived generally, is a representation formed by the intellect then a combination of various representations into one object as it appears to the subject must also be a product of the intellect. If so much is granted, the question arises: How is it possible that various representations are unified in the intellect in a way adequate to the representations themselves rather than to the patterns of unification used by the subject? And another question becomes important: What is the meaning of the 'objective unity of apperception', and what is its relation to the 'synthetic unity of apperception' in this context? According to Reich, for instance, objective cognition cannot be effected within one concept due to the properties of the self itself. If the thought presenting the subject, conceived generally, to itself is a necessary thought for the subject which in this way acquires knowledge of its own non-productivity, and if this condition characterises all thoughts different from the self then the limitations of the self are transferred to all its thoughts. From these considerations springs the main idea of the article, namely, that the proposition is, by virtue of its own definition, an instance of the use of concepts when the subject wants to gain cognition of objects. With the mediation of the proposition concepts are constituted as synthetically unified in the subject. According to Wolff the concept of intellectual cognition that underlies transcendental deduction is the point of departure and the guiding beacon for the Kantian program. Eventually, the author joins the position of Reich who claims that the meaning of 'proposition' and 'intellect' must be seen in the light of Kant's contention that the unity of intellect and the unifying functions of intellect can be fully discovered only after a comprehensive understanding of the unifying functions of propositions has been achieved.

The main problem investigated by the paper is the self in literature and its constructability. The research materials include selected works of Slovak poetry and the methodological background is provided by social constructivism of the German literary scientist and theoretician of communication Siegfried Schmidt. The paper focuses on the self in the processes of forming and receiving works of two Slovak contemporary experimental authors, Peter Macsovszky and Michal Habaj. It seems that their innovative and subversive strategies correspond to a certain degree with antirealistic assumptions of Schmidt´s methodology. A significant part of the experiments is played by challenging the category of the self, which is presented as a grammatical illusion, a linguistic game or virtual fiction. Reading of the texts suggests that the inner-textual self of a literary work created in a text interpretation is not always a sufficient category. In some cases it will be beneficial to look over the text, incorporate a literary phenomenon in the system of literature and a particular social and historical context and subsequently observe the behaviour of the performers who are involved in constructing the phenomena. This step makes it possible to examine the strategies which raise questions and verify the terminology of literary science.

According to the traditional interpretation, Levi-Strauss' structural anthropology deposes the concept of man and the notion of human nature from its central place in human and social sciences. While it is necessary to acknowledge Levi-Strauss' distance vis-a-vis all philosophy based on intentionality, experience and consciousness of subject, the author argues that the most interesting purpose of the structural anthropology lies elsewhere. Not only Levi-Strauss never declared himself being part of anti-humanism movement, but most of all, his famous polemics with Sartre at the end of 'La Pensee sauvage' should be interpreted as part of his fight against ethnocentrism. The project of 'dissolving the man' can be thus read as deconstructing the idea that western man makes of himself in the light of ethnological findings about universal structures orchestrating all human societies. He further shows that the notion of subject survived its very death announced by the most radical structuralist thinkers and that structural method could be effectively employed in order to study different techniques and modes of subjectivation, revealing that 'becoming subject' is a process structured by our language, symbolic universe and ethical teleology

What is the nature of the interpellation that enables us to recognize ourselves as subjects of an experience? How do we become subjects and what is the relationship between subjectivity and otherness? The paper discusses the genesis of the subjectivity from a phenomenological and a social standpoint, confronting Levinas’ phenomenological perspective on subjective responsibility with Althusser’s and Butler’s account of the interpellation by the law. If ethical and normative interpellation is often seen as overlapping, this paper discusses their differences as a critical resource for the phenomenological theory of subjectivity.
