The article presents the issue of 20-year-old students who decide to take part in the Erasmus Programme in order to finish building their own self in a reflective way. It especially applies to students who, despite the age indicating the completion of an identity crisis, remain in an extended moratorium on early adulthood - experience the "quarter-century crisis". The crisis manifests itself in the escape from making commitments assigned to conventionally defined adulthood. While on scholarship, a student functions in three dimensions of cultural borderlands: their native country, host country and cultural pluralism which is favoured by contacts with other international scholarship holders. Facilitating confrontation with "otherness", a borderline promotes cognitive alertness aimed at themselves which is a development impulse. Institutional support for a scholarship holder (scholarships, institutional care of the host university, student community) ensures their safety and facilitates increased exploration of identity. "Otherness", in the Simmel sense, is for a student not only a test of their own powers, but also an opportunity to create their life plans. The analysis was peformed on the basis of the data obtained from participatory observation and in-depth interviews with Polish scholarship holders (N=11) conducted in Porto (in winter semester of 2009/2010).

The disintegration of character in recent Polish drama is closely related to identity crisis and the ensuing negation of the basis and integrity of one's sense of self. A character can hardly be analysed as a person – more often than not, it resembles a linguistic or textual entity rather than a human being. The persona is replaced by a voice or a polyphonic collective body – a choir. In the dramatic works of contemporary Polish playwrights such as M. Ko-terski, M. Bieliński, M. Modzelewski, L. Amejko or D. Masłowska these forms can be real-ized as either a fragmented subject split into aspects that cannot be reconciled, or as the subject's external reality, which they perceive as fragmented, incomprehensible and hostile.

Last two decades of Russian dramaturgy extremely shows the crisis of values thataffected the generations living at the interphase between the two epochs. One ofthe authors who was particularly sensitive to contemporary humans’ situationwas Oleg Bogayev. He was interested in disintegration of personality, emotionalcoldness and lack of interpersonal ties. In his dramas, Bogayev presents a verypessimistic vision of the reality enriching it by a fairy-tale-like fictional universe.By using esthetics of postmodernism, the dramatist devises reflections on beingalone in the crowd, a feeling of alienation and a lack of wider interpersonal relations.The author is also interested in the state of culture and art, that have beenknocked off the pedestal of uniqueness and are no longer playing the role ofhigher values source. This article is an attempt of analysis of authors work in thecontext of problems that contemporary human is facing

Francuski feminizm a problem kobiecej tożsamości

75%
EN
The work is focused on the problem of feminine identity in the contemporary world. It occupies a special place especially within French feminism, represented by the liberal feminist, Élisabeth Badinter. The latest book by this philosopher, entitled The Conflict: How Modern Motherhood Undermines the Status of Women, is a detailed study of the current views on the nature of woman as a mother who also wants to pursue her own individual needs. Taken together, these two identities, the mother and the modern woman, embody the source of that conflict of values which is the ground of the modern woman's identity crisis. We find the origins of women's thinking around identity in the works of the mother of European feminism, Simone de Beauvoir. Badinter continues de Beauvoir’s way of thinking and analyzes the impact of modern naturalistic thinking and the pro-maternity organization La Leche League on the prevailing status of women. In addition, Badinter indicates the special case of French women, who are the only ones to fulfill the contemporary model of a satisfied woman and a committed mother

Autorzy artykułu przeanalizowali problem zachowania tożsamości człowieka w kontekście badań genomicznych. Dokonali przeglądu idei filozoficznych, psychologicznych i społecznych aspektów tego zjawiska, przedstawili uwarunkowania powstania „kryzysu tożsamości” w społeczeństwie informacyjnym oraz ideę transhumanizmu w kontekście transformacji tożsamości poprzez oddziaływanie biotechnologii. Scharakteryzowali wytyczne legislacyjne w zakresie działań inżynierii genetycznej, których celem jest ochrona konstytucyjnych praw człowieka, stwierdzając, że zachowanie tożsamości jako niezbędnego warunku swobodnego rozwoju i kształtowania się jednostki w sytuacji rewolucji biotechnicznej czyni problem ochrony godności ludzkiej i jej prawa do integralności aktualnym.

Upadek rządów Hemutha Kohla, najdłużej w historii RFN piastującego urząd kanclerza wtrącił niemiecką chadecję w głęboki kryzys tożsamości. Utrata władzy przez chadecję w 1998 r. odsłoniła programową pustkę partii; która trwa do dziś. W efekcie stojąca ponownie od 2005 r. na czele rządowej koalicji chadecja dryfuje między archaicznym nacjonalizmem a konieczną modernizacją, nie posiadając żadnego polityczno-aksjologicznego fundamentu. Przyjmując ten właśnie czynnik za wyznacznik dekompozycji, a w sekularyzacji i polaryzacji chadeckiego elektoratu przyczynę kryzysu flagowego niemieckiego konserwatyzmu, artykuł analizuje jego polityczną manifestację w okresie rządów Angeli Merkel, biorąc jako punkt odniesienia złotą erę konserwatyzmu Adenauera i dokonując krótkiego porównawczego rekursu jego kondycji w epoce kanclerza Kohla.

The fall of Helmuth Kohl’s government, the longest reigning Chancellor-in-Office ever in the history of Federal Republic of Germany, threw the German Christian Democratic Union into a deep identity crisis. After the Christian Democrats’ lost power in 1998, an empty political program was unveiled, a crisis which lasts to this very day. As a consequence, the Christian Democrats who have regained their position since 2005 have oscillated between an archaic nationalism and a much needed modernization bereft of any political and axiological foundation. By precisely assuming that decomposition factor and accepting that same factor as the cause of the current crisis of the forerunner of German Conservatism, this article analyses the political manifestation of Angela Merkel. It starts off from the golden era of Adenauer’s Conservatism and then follows by providing a brief comparative recourse of the Conservatives’ condition during the time of Chancellor Kohl.

Der Verlust der Macht durch die Christdemokraten im Jahre 1998 und der politische Abgang von Helmuth Kohl, dem mit 16 Jahren Amtszeit bisher am längsten regierenden Bundeskanzler, markierten eine Zäsur in der Geschichte der CDU-CSU, den Beginn ihrer tiefen bis heute andauernden Identitätskrise. Denn der Zusammenbruch riss einen Schleier weg, der die desolate programmatische Verfassung der Partei bloßlegte. Folglich driften die seit 2005 wieder mit den Bundesregierungsgeschäften beauftragten Christdemokraten zwischen antiquiertem Nationalismus und eilfertiger Modernisierung ohne jedes Fundament demokratisch-konservativer Orientierung. Indem dieses Phänomen als das ausschlaggebende Kriterium jener mangelhaft konservativen Ausrichtung der CDU herangezogen und die Prozesse der Säkularisierung und Polarisierung des christdemokratischen Wählerschaft zu den Hauptfaktoren für die programmatische Krise des deutschen Konservatismus auserkoren werden, analysiert der Artikel dessen politische Manifestation in der Regierungszeit von Angela Merkel. Dabei wird die goldene Epoche des Konservatismus der Adenauer Zeit als Bezugspunkt genommen und einen Rekurs in die nicht minder erfolgreiche Kohl-Ära vorgenommen.

Martin Walsers Novelle Ein fliehendes Pferd ist Psychogramm und Gesellschaftsanalyse zugleich; Themen wie Diskrepanz von Lebensplan, gespielte Rollen und Alltagsrealität, sowie der Verlust des Ichs, die Suche nach der eigenen Identität, Beziehungsarmut, Produktion von Schein, Lebenssterilität und der Mangel an wahrer Kommunikation werden durch die Gestalten der Novelle projiziert. Die Viererkonstellation der Novelle zeigt eine starke Polarität der Männergestalten, die aber tief von einem gemeinsamen Fluchtzwang geprägt ist. Die grundlegende Zielsetzung des Artikels ist die Problematik der Charaktergestaltung unter die Lupe zu nehmen, sodass der Fokus an das schachspielartige Verhältnis von Helmut und Klaus gesetzt wird.
EN
Martin Walser’s short story called Ein fliehendes Pferd is simultaneously a psychogram and analysis of the society depicted; discrepancy and sterility of life, performed roles and reality, loss of the self, search for identity, relational poverty, construction of fake identities and the lack of real communication are themes projected into the novella through the characters. The constellation of the four figures reveals a strong polarity between the male characters, being deeply marked by the compulsion to flee. The main aim of the present paper is the analysis of various aspects of the character constellation so that the focus is directed on Helmut and Klaus’ chess-like relationship.

The aim of this article is to c cconfront Susan Faludi’s and Thomas Johansson’s theory concerning the masculinity crisis with images of men presented in modern Swedish popular literature. The masculinity crisis theory has risen in relation to feminism and presents the crisis manifesting itself in men’s difficulties in building deep relationships as a consequence of fear of getting close with other people, fears of not living up to the idea of an ideal man and loneliness. Three contemporary Swedish popular novels: Pappadagar i Råttans år (Paternity leave in Rat Year) by Daniel Möllberg (2007), Vi som aldrig sa hora (We who have never said whore) by Ronnie Sandahl (2007) and Vi har redan sagt hej då (We have already said good bye) by Daniel Åberg (2010) have been analysed in the light of the masculinity crisis theory. The analysis focuses on presentation of male characters in those novels, feelings they experience and ways of coping with their personal crisis. The author points out that men’s problems as claimed by the masculinity crisis theory are reflected in the analysed novels to some extent. However, since the characters are able to overcome adversities, one cannot unambiguously state that their masculinity is in crisis.

The article analyses the phenomenon of identity crisis in a “modern man” (“at the threshold of modernity”). Lemański employs a fairy-tale convention, the result, however, is an anti-fairy-tale (to use Anna Czabanowska – Wróbel’s term). Irony, laughter or grotesque elements suggest that the literary intention of the author of Bajki was an interesting commentary on reality (critics, including Zenon Przesmycki, pointed the renaissance of fairy tales found in modernist literature). Lemański’s work is characterised by a somewhat careless approach to the form, which becomes the principle describing the world represented. The theme of destiny, the topos of wandering as well as initiation themes match the fairy-tale convention, albeit processed in an interesting way.

Alice Through the Ages: Childhood and Adaptation

38%
EN
The paper is an identity-based analysis of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and two film adaptations, Walt Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (2010). Alice’s identity crisis identified in each of the Alice works was observed in view of Erik H. Erikson’s and James Marcia’s identity theories in order to reach conclusions pertaining to the nature of childhood and growing up in the Victorian era, in the mid-twentieth century, and at the beginning of the 21st century. As the three different Alice characters originated in different historical periods, their identity issues conditioned by their culture, society and circumstances reveal three different processes of identity formation. Due to the fact that while creating their adaptations both Walt Disney and Tim Burton relied on the expectations of their audiences more than the spirit of the literary original, much like Carroll’s work these adaptations serve as a good reference in reflecting the historical and cultural changes of children’s position in society.

Rad se bavi analizom razvoja identiteta u Alici u Zemlji Čudesa (1865) Lewisa Carrolla i u njezinim dvjema filmskim adaptacijama, Alici u Zemlji Čudesa Walta Disneyja (1951) i Alici u Zemlji Čudesa Tima Burtona (2010). U svrhu razumijevanja krize identiteta glavne junakinje koja se očituje u svim trima djelima autorice su se koristile teorijama Erika H. Eriksona i Jamesa Marcije. Došle su do zaključaka u vezi s glavnim karakteristikama djetinjstva i odrastanja u viktorijansko doba, sredinom dvadesetoga i početkom dvadeset i prvoga stoljeća. S obzirom na to da su tri Aličina lika nastala u trima različitim povijesnim razdobljima, pitanja razvoja njihova identiteta pod utjecajem kulture, društva i okolnosti odrastanja sugeriraju tri potpuno različita procesa oblikovanja identiteta. Budući da su se pri stvaranju spomenutih adaptacija Walt Disney i Tim Burton vodili više očekivanjima publike nego odlikama književnoga originala, te su adaptacije dobra referencija za određivanje ključnih povijesnih i kulturoloških promjena povezanih s položajem djeteta u društvu.
DE
Ausgehend von Carrolls Werk Alice im Wunderland (1865) und den gleichnamigen Verfilmungen von Walt Disney (1951) und Tim Burton (2010) wird im Beitrag die Identitätskrise der diesen Werken gemeinsamen Hauptgestalt erörtert. Um Schlussfolgerungen zu den grundlegenden Merkmalen der Kindheit und des Heranwachsens nicht nur in der viktorianischen Zeit, sondern auch um die Mitte des 20. und zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts zu ziehen, wird im Beitrag nach der Theorie von Erik H. Erikson und James Marcia gegriffen. Dabei wird festgestellt, dass die in unterschiedlichen historischen Zeitpunkten entstandenen Alice-Gestalten auch unterschiedliche Identitätsgestaltungsprozesse durchlaufen. Da sich Walt Disney und Tim Burton bei ihrer Verfilmung mehr von den Publikumserwartungen als durch die literarische Vorlage leiten ließen, wie auch Carroll selbst in seiner Romanproduktion, stellen die Verfilmungen einen willkommenen Anlass dazu dar, auf entscheidende historische und kulturelle Veränderungen in den zeitspezifischen Vorstellungen von der gesellschaftlichen Position des Kindes hinzuweisen.
