This article analyses media texts written in Czech by young Vietnamese from 2008 to 2017. It aims to: a) describe how the authors categorise themselves and determine whether they construct their identity as hybrid; and b) consider whether these texts contribute to the superdiversification of the Czech space. Three identity versions appear in the material: banana children, young ‘uninfected’ Vietnamese, and the younger generation of banana children (BC, YUV, and YG). BC emphasise the hybrid character of their identity, i.e. the necessity of using two languages and behaving in accordance with the norms of two ethnic societies in their everyday lives. YUV declare that competence in Czech and knowledge of the social norms of the majority cannot change the fact that they are Vietnamese. YG assign basically the same features to their own category as to BC. But unlike them, YG usually consider the hybrid character of their identity to be self-evident. That the analysed texts problematise the role of language as a defining feature of ethnic identity can be considered an expression of the superdiversification of the Czech media and new media space. BC defend their right to not belong to a single ethnic society, YUV declare their identity to be exclusively Vietnamese, and MG express amazement that the existence of young Czech-speaking Vietnamese is still surprising to a part of the majority population.

The article aims to discuss the concept of political culture as a powerful tool for shaping thoughts and actions of individuals and communities (societies). By elaborating on the Jagiellonian Idea (JI) - its specific features and implementation, the author seeks to provide answers to several questions including: what made the JI a vibrant political and social concept being undertaken over centuries by some politicians, social leaders, researchers and scholars – is it just an attractive narrative which recalls times when Poland was a powerful state or is it a realistic program still applicable to contemporary societies? What kind of features of the JI concept may be selected, adjusted and developed today in the international and intercivizational dimensions? If at all possible, thus by what kind of means and under what conditions? These and other aspects of the JI as a specific expression of political culture are the core of the article.

Europe suffers from an existential identity crisis, which may seem unmatched in its history. However, this essay argues that hesitance and discussion about the European identity and borders, internal as well as external, have always existed. The first part elaborates on Europe’s most classic internal division, between East and West, and demonstrates that this juxtaposition was invented in the 18th century without any historical foundations. The second part discusses the European identity of a number of peripheral regions in the West: Portugal, Sicily, Ireland, and Scandinavia. It shows that all of these regions have traditionally turned their back to Europe and did only recently acknowledge a European identity. The third part looks for some explanations for these evolutions and also reflects on the consequences for today. It highlights that Greece, the most troublesome country in the current Eurozone crisis, has only in the nineteenth century been acknowledged as the cradle of Europe and that this recognition has favoured Greek expansion under a European banner, up to (the southern part of ) Cyprus. Greece and Cyprus, however, have significantly diverged from European developments: being orthodox and Ottoman for centuries, they were excluded from Renaissance and industrialization. This discrepancy reveals that European identities are utmost flexible and will undoubtedly develop further in the future.

The article looks at the initiatives in the OBOR framework, but also more broadly into the relationship between Russia and China and the identities of both states. The immediate factors encourage the present state of friendly rapprochement. At the same time, there is something missing for the deeper relationship, which could last. OBOR is declaratively endorsed by Russia, but it is also seen as a competitive project for influence in the region, especially in Central Asia. The article looks into similarities in Russian and Chinese values, such as securitisation of democracy and juxtaposition to the West, but also brings up the differences such as the attitudes to religion, work ethics, tactics in foreign policy. The conclusion is that China and Russia are rather competitors in the region than stategic allies.

Several authors (Frijda, Manstead, & Bem, 2000; Van Veen & Lasky, 2006) suggest that emotions, cognitions, and identities are intrinsically related. Authors in social psychology (Fiedler & Bless, 2000; Frijda, Manstead, & Bem, 2000; Rosiek, 2003) have considered how beliefs are particularly sensitive to affective influences and how emotions, cognitions, and identities are intrinsically related. Understanding this relationship would help researchers to reveal complex key issues in beliefs research, such as the relationship between beliefs and action. Yet, although research on beliefs in applied linguistics goes back to the 70s and 80s, there has been scant connection with emotions and identities. This paper aims to reflect on the relationship between beliefs, emotions, and identities by looking at these coconstructing, overlapping concepts to advance our understanding of language learning and teaching. Through a review of studies on beliefs, emotions, and identities within applied linguistics and other areas, I illustrate how beliefs and emotions are intrinsically and interactively related, and how beliefs within a socio-historical context influence the construction of identities. Identities influence the kinds of emotions and beliefs that individuals attribute to themselves and to others. Emotions, in turn, can influence identities and how we construct them. Implications for research on beliefs, emotions, and identities are suggested.

O objetivo dessa análise está centrado na busca de elementos do imaginário social que definem as identidades culturais nordestinas formadas e mantidas fora do nordeste, em especial em São Paulo, um dos maiores centros de concentração de migrantes, no qual a religiosidade, a festividade e as imagens simbólicas desse imaginário formam espaços e palcos privilegiados para processos simbólico-territoriais de regionalização a partir de práticas culturais e devocionais que viajaram pelo Brasil e se alocaram na maior cidade do país. Dessa forma, foram privilegiadas para análise e interpretação, as formas de concepção desses lugares, suas definições e contornos na (trans)formação dos traços da cultura nordestina incluindo sotaques, cores, sabores, memórias e religiosidade nas maiores concentrações de nordestinos fora do seu lugar de produção de sentido. A partir dessas referências e representações culturais foram vislumbradas suas principais relações e sentidos na construção do imaginário para a sociedade. Como metodologia privilegiou-se a análise de imagens de lugares de memória e territórios que contemplam experiências e memórias migrantes, além de revisão bibliográfica sobre a produção das identidades. Como resultados se esmeram reflexões sobre a ideia de manutenção das identidades migrantes em outras terras por meio do imaginário coletivo.

The objective of this analysis is centered on the search for elements of the social imaginary that define the northeastern cultural identities formed and maintained outside the northeast, especially in São Paulo, one of the largest centers of concentration of migrants, in which religiosity, festivity and symbolic images of this imaginary form privileged spaces and stages for symbolic-territorial processes of regionalization based on cultural and devotional practices that traveled through Brazil and moved to the largest city in the country. Thus, the ways of conceiving these places, their definitions, and contours in the (trans) formation of the traits of the Northeastern culture, including accents, colors, flavors, memories, and religiosity in the largest concentrations of Northeasterners outside of their own, were privileged for analysis and interpretation place of production of meaning. From these references and cultural representations, its main relationships and meanings were glimpsed in the construction of the imaginary for society. As a methodology, the analysis of images of places of memory and territories that contemplate migrant experiences and memories was privileged, in addition to a bibliographic review on the production of identities. As a result, reflections on the idea of​maintaining migrant identities in other lands through collective imagery are painstaking.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie w jaki sposób osoby dorosłe uczące się języka greckiego jako obcego (L2) definiują swoją tożsamość poprzez teksty narracyjne o charakterze humorystycznym. Używając modelu pozycjonowania narracyjnego Bamberga (1997) oraz opozycji skryptów i obiektu dowcipu będących częścią ogólnej teorii humoru słownego (General Theory of Verbal Humor) (Attardo 1994, 2001) do przeanalizowania zbioru 135 tekstów o charakterze humorystycznym, wyróżniono dwie główne kategorie: (a) narracje o tożsamości legitymizującej oraz (b) narracje o tożsamości wyrażającej opór. W niniejszym artykule omawiamy po jednej narracji z każdej kategorii, w której została wyrażona postawa narratora wobec wybranych socjolingwistycznych elementów kontekstu języka greckiego. Humor okazuje się głównym narzędziem przy konstruowaniu tożsamości i wyrazicielem postaw, a narratorzy albo akceptują dominujące wartości obecne w kontekście języka L2, albo odcinają się od nich.

The aim of this paper is to explore how adult learners of Greek as a second language construct their identities through humorous written narratives. Analyzing 135 written humorous narratives with Bamberg’s (1997) narrative positioning model and the knowledge resources of script opposition and target from the General Theory of Verbal Humor (Attardo 1994, 2001), we detect two main categories: (a) narratives of legitimizing identities and (b) narratives of resistance identities. Here we discuss one narrative of each category in which narrators position themselves towards aspects of the Greek sociolinguistic context. Humor emerges as a basic tool for identity construction and stance expression, as narrators either align themselves with dominant values of the L2 context or disassociate themselves from it.

La territorialización argentina de la perspectiva queer articuló la academia con los movimientos sociales, TLGB y de derechos humanos. Potenciándose con las políticas trans/travestis contra la represión policial e institucional, la crítica queer visibilizó la jerarquización producida por las diferencias sexo-genéricas a través de los mapas sociales trazados por las estratificaciones de clase, etnia y edad de los cuerpos. La ley que amplió el matrimonio con independencia del sexo de sus contrayentes (2010) y la Ley de Identidad de Género (2012), entre otras, desafían e impactan la implementación institucional de la Educación Sexual Integral frente a la tensión entre la normalización identitaria de las diferencias y el sistemático cuestionamiento y desmontaje de los dispositivos de (a)normalización. Este trabajo propone una genealogía política de las primeras territorializaciones de la perspectiva queer en Argentina para reflexionar sobre la articulación de los activismos y los movimientos sociales con los dispositivos institucionales de producción, legitimación y circulación de conocimientos y saberes en clave sexo-genérica.

The Argentinian territorialization of the queer perspective articulated the academy with social, TLGB and human rights movements. Empowered by trans/transvestite policies against police and institutional repression, the queer critique made visible the hierarchy produced by the sex-generic differences through the social maps traced by the class, ethnic and age stratifications. The law that expanded marriage irrespective of the sex of its partners (2010) and the Gender Identity Law (2012), among others, challenge and impact the institutional implementation of Integral Sexual Education in the face of the tension between the identitarian normalization of differences and the systematic questioning and disassembly of (a)normalization dynamics. This work proposes a political genealogy of the first territorializations of the queer perspective in Argentina to reflect on the articulation of activism and social movements with the institutional mechanisms of production, legitimation and circulation of knowledge in a sex-generic key.
