The division of the article into three parts represents the three phenomena of absence present in Novecento, a work of Alessandro Baricco. First, the author discusses the peculiar existence of a main character, which, on the internal level of the story told in the book, is full of absence. On the external level, the author focuses on the manner of narration and stage performance (didascalia). His second scope of interest is the lack of author’s unanimous statement concerning the text genre, as well as the interspersion of important elements of drama, theatre and both, pure narrative and music forms. This, recently quite popular phenomenon, has been called hybridity. It allows the juxtaposing of contrasts, joining of contradictions and departures from the accepted specific rules in favour of artistic generic disarray. Moreover, this part of the paper stresses the difference between the original title and its French translation. The extra information added in the French version highlights the lack of precision in the original title. This significantly influences the readers’ choice. The third phenomenon discussed in the article is music. It has its special place among Baricco’s works. In Novecento, music is the second, after the pianist, protagonist. It can be even treated as equally important. However, the lack of a musical code (a proper way of communication) reduces the domination of music. By using a linguistic sign, the author gave music an important function – being the catalyst and medium between what exists but cannot be seen and what can be felt but cannot be expressed in words. Absence, perceived by human senses and the inadequacy of verbal expression, is elicited through music and, paradoxically, it becomes present.

The article focuses on knowledge regimes within the normative discourse of the reform of Czech educational curricula. Engaging with the relational ontology of ‘third-wave sociology of education’, the article presents a qualitative analysis of strategic documents that sheds light on the divergent systems of reasons for particular educational changes. The research traced legitimising (justifying and criticising) strategies in authorised documents (governmental organisations) and non-authorised (NGOs and transnational organisations) in the 2010–2017 period. These findings point to the existence of several significantly divergent knowledge ‘micro-regimes’ that produce various contradictions and tensions on the level of regimes, documents, and the meaning of ‘competent’ actors. The research tracked the different relationships between managerial, expert, revisionist, revising, and adaptation regimes. It demonstrated that contemporary Czech attempts to reach a consensus over the goals of education across society are paralysed by a number of contradictory legitimisations rather than one hegemonic discourse.

Welcome to Postnormal Times

EN
All that was ‘normal’ has now evaporated; we have entered postnormal times, the in-between period where old orthodoxies are dying, new ones have not yet emerged, and nothing really makes sense. To have any notion of a viable future, we must grasp the significance of this period of transition which is characterised by three c's: complexity, chaos and contradictions. These forces propel and sustain postnormal times leading to uncertainty and different types of ignorance that make decision-making problematic and increase risks to individuals, society and the planet. Postnormal times demands, this paper argues, that we abandon the ideas of ‘control and management’, and rethink the cherished notions of progress, modernisation and efficiency. The way forward must be based on virtues of humility, modesty and accountability, the indispensible requirement of living with uncertainty, complexity and ignorance. We will have to imagine ourselves out of postnormal times and into a new age of normalcy—with an ethical compass and a broad spectrum of imaginations from the rich diversity of human cultures.

In the novel The Mandarins, Simone de Beauvoir shows the crisis of French intellectuals, namely writers facing ideological and political dilemmas after World War Two. Reflecting on the usefulness of their works, the main protagonists ask the fundamental question, namely why / for what to write and act. In the writer’s optics, two solutions are possible. On the one hand, the commitment, and the need for being aware of situations and actions. On the other hand, the idea of the autonomy of literature. This opposition seems to cause a failure of common expectations and hopes, conformism, collapse of values as well as love failures. The history of "broken illusions" of a known milieu allows the writer to make us realize the importance of morality, responsibility, and the presence of another human being. The meaning of the crisis in the novel is expressed by exposing what is most intimate, and by ascribing this state of affairs to the ills of the age, which become a political and ethical imperative.
FR
À travers Les Mandarins, Simone de Beauvoir met en scène la crise qui touche les milieux intellectuels français derrière des personnages d’écrivains aux prises avec les dilemmes idéologiques et politiques de l’après-guerre. Ces personnages, réfléchissant à l’utilité de leurs œuvres, se posent la question fondamentale : « pourquoi / pour quoi écrire et agir ». Dans l’optique beauvoirienne, il y a deux positions : d’une part l’engagement, la nécessité de prendre conscience de la situation, d’agir ; d’autre part l’idée de l’autonomie de la littérature. De cette ambivalence résulteraient la défaite des attentes et des espoirs communs, le conformisme, la polarisation des valeurs ainsi que les échecs sentimentaux. L’histoire des « illusions brisées » de ce milieu permet à l’auteure de rendre compte de l’importance de la morale, de la responsabilité et de la présence d’autrui ainsi que de rejeter le conformisme et la crise des valeurs. La crise des Mandarins s’exprime par leur capacité à révéler le plus intime en l’accordant aux malaises d’une époque pour les transformer en urgences politiques et éthiques.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems, contradictions and prospects of contemporary dance education in American school. The origins of dance perception as a cultural phenomenon in the history of human culture at various stages of its development are found. It is proved that dance is an important element of the culture of different regions of the world from ancient times to the present. The authors determined and characterized various conceptual approaches to teaching dance in modern American schools, particularly for dance education as part of art education or as part of physical education. It was found out that within any of these approaches dance did not traditionally occupied a worthy place in the curricula of primary and secondary school. The contradictions and prospects of finding “real” identity of dance in education were determined. The historical origin of dance education in the United States and the role of Denishawn School in American tradition of teaching dance are outlined. Research results on the role of dance education in the personality development (theory of multiple intelligence, theories of learning motivation, theories of creative skills development etc.) are systematized. The overview of educational and non-educational factors influencing the legitimization of dance education curriculum K12 is made: the presence of supporters and enthusiasts of dance education among teachers, school administrators’ efforts, support of parental community. The authors outlined objectives and content of the US standards of dance education K-12 ARTS, and their impact on innovative development of dance education in American schools. It was proved that the legitimization of dance in school education through the adoption of national standards K-12 ARTS made a positive impact on its innovative development.

One of the themes that has gained prominence in recent decades is the struggle of traditional fishing communities for the recognition and enforcement of their rights. Another factor that has also driven this highlight is the way in which capital, through the State and/or private companies (national and international), has occupied and degraded the space of these communities at an increasing pace. The expulsion of families, the reduction of fishing areas and the contamination of waters, mangroves, and fish has been observed due to the expansion of the urban-industrial model in the coastal zones. In this article, we aim to characterize the development of artisanal fisheries in Bahia and, based on these data, to understand, on the one hand, the importance of the activity for the state and for the communities that develop it, and, on the other hand, the scenario of resistance and existing contradictions, mainly in the form of conflicts that involve fishing territories. Methodologically, we searched through statistical surveys, documentary, cartographic, and field research, and built a database that allowed us to identify, analyze, and spatialize, through thematic maps, the quantitative distribution of artisanal fishing in the state, its forms of organization, and areas of territorial disputes, among other aspects. These steps led us to understand the scenario of contradictions and resistances that involve such activity in the state.

Uma das temáticas que tem ganhado relevante destaque, nas últimas décadas, refere-se à luta das comunidades tradicionais pesqueiras pelo reconhecimento e efetivação dos seus direitos. Outro fator que também tem impulsionado esse destaque refere-se à forma com que o capital, através do Estado, empresas privadas (nacionais e internacionais) e/ou particulares, tem ocupado e degradado o espaço dessas comunidades, num ritmo cada vez mais crescente. A expulsão de famílias, a redução das áreas de pesca e a contaminação das águas, manguezais e pescados têm sido um conjunto de fenômenos observados em decorrência da expansão do modelo urbano-industrial nas zonas costeiras. Neste artigo, temos por objetivo caracterizar como se dá o desenvolvimento da pesca artesanal na Bahia e, com base nesses dados, compreender, por um lado, a importância da atividade para o estado e para as comunidades que a desenvolvem e, por outro, o cenário de resistência e contradições existentes, evidenciadas dentre outras formas, principalmente, nos conflitos que envolvem os territórios pesqueiros. Para tal, metodologicamente, buscamos através da realização de levantamentos estatísticos, documentais, cartográficos e pesquisa de campo, construir um banco de dados que nos permitiu identificar, analisar e espacializar, através de mapas temáticos, a distribuição quantitativa da pesca artesanal no estado, suas formas de organização, as áreas de disputas territoriais, dentre outros aspectos aqui apresentados. Tais etapas nos levaram à compreensão do cenário de contradições e resistências que envolvem tal atividade no estado.

The purpose of this article is based on the analysis of scientific literature to handle the problem of creativity of medical students as a part of competence. Such methods have been used in the research: theoretical analysis, which tool is structural and logical analysis of the content and structure of the educational process in the view of the existing relations between its individual parts, statistical evaluation of the individual events in the study, didactics analysis, based on the generalization process of knowledge which is reflected in its tendency to generalize many versatile particular laws; pedagogical observation – collecting materials of research-based data collection of classes, and laboratory tests. As a result of the research it has been determined that the ability to see and formulate the problem and act in unusual situations emerging in the implementation of   creative potential is possible in the introduction to the educational process of innovative educational technologies. The practical significance of the study is observed in the developed technology in the classes of Biophysics in particular advanced learning technologies that have been approved contribute to the formation of competencies and stimulate creative activity. So, a type of training that is aimed at the formation of productive creative medical student is developing education. Another type of training aimed at activating the creative abilities is problem-based learning, the main aim of which is also all-round development of cognitive abilities of the students. Recently, higher educational institutions have begun to use such following creative teaching methods aimed at activating creativity, as «case method», «brainstorming», educational games and others. «Case method» is based on the description of the real problem, which is related to the future students profession and participants of discussion make recommendations for the solving that encourages the students to develop problem-search activity. Another type of training that we believe would be used to train medica students to enhance creative abilities is educational entertainment. Further research needs to explore the usage of the features of the technology developed in other disciplines of natural sciences, which the students learn at the higher medical educational institution.

Kazimierz Dziewoński formally presented a theory of the economic region while in fact his considerations applied to the socio-economic region. The main conceptual categories and assumptions of the theory are presented in this article. This theory should be considered in the context of other concepts of the region. The concepts were presented within various explanatory patterns in Polish human geography, only some of which were paradigms. The various concepts of the region were characterised not only by divergences but also contradictions, which were the departure point for the mutual criticism of individual concepts. In this context, it is worth noting the enormous intellectual potential of Kazimierz Dziewoński’s concepts, still – despite the passage of decades – not used, and unknown in English-language literature.
PL
Kazimierz Dziewoński formalnie przedstawił teorię regionu ekonomicznego, faktycznie jednak jego rozważania dotyczyły regionu społeczno-ekonomicznego. W artykule zaprezentowano główne kategorie pojęciowe i założenia koncepcyjne tej teorii. Należy ją rozpatrywać na tle innych koncepcji regionu. Koncepcje te omawiano w ramach różnych wzorców wyjaśniania w polskiej geografii społeczno-ekonomicznej; niektóre z nich były paradygmatami. Te różne koncepcje regionu cechowały się nie tylko rozbieżnościami, ale i sprzecznościami, będącymi punktem wyjścia do wzajemnej krytyki. W tym kontekście warto zauważyć ogromny potencjał intelektualny koncepcji Kazimierza Dziewońskiego, wciąż – mimo upływu dziesięcioleci – niewykorzystany, a w literaturze anglojęzycznej nieznany.

Artykuł próbuje zinterpretować sprzeczności dotyczącego Boga i człowieka, zawarte w pismach Mistrza Eckharta, jako rezultat egzystencjalnego poszukiwania zbawczej mocy. Moc jako taka ma ambiwalentną naturę. Z jednej strony jest mocą tego, co jest, z drugiej mocą (samo)przezwyciężenia (tego, co jest). Myśl Eckharta jest myślą egzystencjalną, obejmującą całego człowieka, łącznie z jego elementem nieświadomym. To wyjaśnia, dlaczego, szukając zbawczej mocy, mistyk nie do końca był świadomy ambiwalentnej natury mocy. Artykuł przedstawia, jak Eckhart, kierując się pragnieniem zbawczej mocy, akceptuje, a następnie przezwycięża kolejne ujęcia Boga i człowieka. Ukazane są trzy główne, funkcjonujące w studiach nad Eckhartem interpretacje jego sprzeczności („apofatyczna”, „edukacyjna” i „metodologiczna”) oraz argumenty przeciw ich trafności.

This article interprets Eckhart’s contradictions by presenting them as a result of an existential search for salvific power. It is shown that power is ambivalent in nature: it is the power of what is and the power of (self)overcoming (of what is). Just because power is in itself ambivalent and the process of searching for it existentialist (so not completely conscious), Eckhart’s mystical texts are full of contradictions and the German mystic is apparently not aware of it. The sample of them is shown in this article with regard to his ideas on God and man. Three other interpretations of Eck­hart’s (“apophatic,” “educational,” “methodological”) are presented and argued against.
