Rachel is the wife of Jacob, the immediate ancestor of the Israelites. Her life story which is scattered in the Book of Genesis seems to show that her life was a tragedy and she was almost a loser, though she was especially beloved by her husband. But a more in-depth reading suggests that the narrative about Rachel is actually so subtle as to imply that there is another possible interpretation of Rachel as a literary character: a life of dignity and passion. Rachel’s confrontation and even wrestle with hardships presents to readers a brave and active woman image, along with her happiness, sorrow, despair and hope. Meanwhile, her life is also a symbol of tragic, but unyielding historical experience that is shared by all the early matriarchs as well as the Israelites.

In the study we analyse Poe's 'tales of ratiocination', inaugurating a detective genre. No one of the Poe's short stories as a whole fully fits with an 'ideal' model of a detective story 'according to the rules', but particular short stories are realisations of certain units of that model. A detective story was constituted as a real non-existing variant derived from the particular short stories as a connection, their single units: great detective; breaking the perspective creating a Watson like type of a narrator, who is opposite to a detective, secret of a locked room; 'analytical' discernments, distance from a victim (all that in Dupin trilogy), a murderer as the least suspicious character in the text (in the short story Thou Art the Man). A real text, 'a detective story according to the rules', which fully fits with the model, comes just in the next step of development of the genre. The same structural model - connection of single units, which had worked independently in the literary texts - is also to organize also Poe's inaugurating gesture in the relationship with previous qualifications of development of the genre. Poe applies to the theme of a crime (constituted in pitavals, black chronicles and calendars, in the novel feuilletone and theatrical melodramas) logic discernment (ratiocination, 'serendipity'), which appeared in rebuses (puzzle stories, or riddle stories). Horror (originally coming from a gothic and robbery novel) goes side by side with deduction. Detailed analysis of detective's solutions shows, that results is not formulated through an abstract deduction, but abduction: stating a hypothesis (with references to knowledge within cultural encyclopaedia), which can explain (presented) state of the cause. Also impossibility for the police to decode a secret in the short story 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' is not caused by a mistake in their logic derivation, but in stating the false premise. It is shown how a detective 'observation' is immerged in judgement ('it is necessary to know what to observe').

The paper deals with selected methodological problems of historical knowledge. In the introduction, the authors consider existing disputes in the methodology of the historical sciences: naturalism and anti-naturalism, nomothetism and ideographism, synchronism and diachronism. The authors seek a key to solution of these contradictions in overcoming the anti-historical conception of human nature or the essence of man, the structure of society and social science laws. They concentrate their attention on the analysis of the historical retrospective and historical genesis. They show that the unification of these two approaches enables a theoretical basis for historiography and establishment of the problem of integration of the nomological explanation and humanist interpretation. In another part of the work, they consider the nature of historical narrative. They distinguish the shaping of a story in art and in historiography, and they analyse the problem of the truth and meaning of historical narrative and its criteria.

The work describes the evolution of cultural and social conditions in the Slovak territory, respectively, in Upper Hungary, in the possible establishment of a public institution collecting exclusively artistic material. The example of the development of art associations and local museums offers a view of this situation through particular historical periods, more precisely from the middle of the nineteenth century to the gallery’s founding in 1948. However, the purpose of the work is not only to outline the social discourse on the possibility of establishing a regional gallery or a public art museum. In addition to concrete examples and evidence of this debate, the work also offers insight into the political orientation of individual institutions that could have been potential players during this development. The work points to a complicated tangle of individual opinions, values and beliefs.

The basic texts of the Old Testament speaking on marriage can be found in the book of Genesis - stories of creation in Genesis 1, 26-28: 2, 18-25. They place the emergence of the institution of marriage at the end of the creative activity of God. Marriage in Scripture is associated with the act of creation of the human person, a man and a woman, the image and likeness of God. Sexual difference between man and woman does not just refer to the physical difference, but it is the complementarity in the implementation of unity, which involves the whole life. At the end of the act of creation takes place the blessing of God, which expresses the wish of fertility. Fertility, wanted by God, becomes a task for marriage and vocation, which can be described as social, as it should be open to the world and rule over it. Sexuality is a good thing until it expresses the intentions of the Creator. Marriage is a paradigm, which is used by God to reveal who he is: the implementation of love and friendship, reciprocity, and covenants specified category similarity. A person - a man and a woman - an image of a God who is love and therefore love is the principle of reciprocity and complementarity. God, in creating man, guided by himself, with his love. Marriage, therefore, expresses the image of God.

This article constitutes a critical review of the knowledge and theories regarding ritual and ceremony which have emerged in the social sciences. The impetus for this undertaking is the conviction that the issue of ritual has been paid insufficient attention – particularly in sociology. The text opens with deliberation on the subject of defining ritual and ceremony. Subsequently, the theories of ritual which explain existing ceremonies by looking at the conditions under which these observances arose are examined. This article comprises also ponderings on the place of ritual in sociological theory.
