The article provides an overview of the mediation of cognitive danger mapping based on traditional place designations in belief narratives. Firstly, processes of cognitive mapping are observed, using the example of plague tradition, and further on, parallels are drawn with modern religious phenomena, such as spiritual mapping in Neo-Pentecostalism, which aims to identify places in the landscape where demons lie in wait for humans, as well as delimiting the movement trajectories of dangerous criminals by way of their narrative localisation with concrete place designations in the landscape. As a novel feature, the article focuses on narrative localisation phenomena in connection with mobile sources of danger, which are not related to concrete places. The author demonstrates the similarities in the evolution of cognitive danger maps in older legends (e.g. plague legends) and in modern media-influenced belief narrations about potential and real criminals. Also, the importance of such danger maps in selective information collection and remembering is discussed, as well as how it determines the re-narration and behaviour. The author concludes that, in addition to pragmatic causes of origin (an aid for safe moving in space), narrative danger maps have a securing function supporting the subjective feeling of coping.

A recent state crisis in Ukraine launched the process of the re-treatment of national and state borders not only in public politics and media, but also in culture and literature. According to Deleuze and Guattari, contemporary humans live in the epoch when nomadic subjectivity comes on the scene in order to change the regime of national spatial imagination. Nomadic existence regarding individuals as always “on the road” seems to be a tool for the de- and re-territorialization that shapes new cultural and state borders. This paper regards Serhiy Zhadan, one of the most prominent contemporary Ukrainian poets, and his treatment of the Ukrainian nation and its borders. For Zhadan, the need for poetry practice has to participate in the nation-building process intensified after Maidan. The key concept for this process’s comprehension is melancholia, which could help to draw an image of contemporary Ukranian subjectivity.

Spatial orientation, in addition to being crucial for human survival, is one of the key professional competences of a tourism graduate. Thus, the development of spatial orientation throughout university programs in tourism is vital for future specialists in this field. The question of the effectiveness of training tourism majors with regard to the formation of space orientation has not been addressed in Ukrainian higher education so far. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to trace the dynamics of geospatial literacy in students of tourism during the bachelor’s and partly master’s levels of study at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv and find its possible links to the curricular and extracurricular offering of the institution. The study comprised two parts: analysis of the curricula at both levels, specifically syllabi of compulsory and elective disciplines and course descriptions, and a comparative assessment of students’ geospatial orientation in the city of Lviv with a special focus on its tourist attractions using the method of cognitive mapping. Students of the 1st and 4th year of the bachelor’s program, as well as the 1st year of the master’s program participated in the study. The research results show a significant improvement in students’ spatial orientation in the city over years and suggest a positive correlation between the university’s offering (both curricular and extracurricular) and the progress observed.

Artykuł jest analizą kilku najważniejszych koncepcji, za pomocą których Fredric Jameson rozwija swój projekt krytyki kultury. Przedstawia psychoanalityczne i marksistowskie inspiracje jego myśli, a także różne zakresy jego projektu interpretacji: od poziomu tekstu po poziomu przemian historycznych. Podstawowym celem hermeneutyki Jamesona jest odczytanie społecznych znaczeń figur narracyjnych, fabularnych rozwiązań, wreszcie technik autorskich i najszerzej – „dominant kulturowych” (realizmu, modernizmu i postmodernizmu). W artykule projekt Jamesona zostaje od- niesiony do koncepcji „rewolucji kulturalnej kapitalizmu”, jako pojęcia opisującego wpływ kapitalizmu na formy symboliczne i konstrukcję podmiotowości. Do analizy wybrano te teksty Jamesona, w których głównym przedmiotem zainteresowania uczynił on kino.

Article is an analysis of the several conceptions, by means of which Fredric Jameson advances his project of culture critique. It shows psychoanalytical and Marxist inspirations of his thought and different ranges of his interpretative project: from the level of text to the level of historical transformations. The basic aim of Jameson’s hermeneutics is to read social meanings of narrative figures, plot devices, authorial techniques and most broadly – ”cultural dominants” (realism, modernism, postmodernism). In the article, Jameson’s project is related to the concept of ”cultural revolution of capitalism” – the notion describing the influence of capitalism on symbolic forms and the construction of subjectivity. The texts, in which Jameson makes cinema the prime object of his interpretations, are used as a material for the analysis.
