Obraz wspólnoty katolickiej w polskim dyskursie religijnym

2018

The aim of the article is to analyse contemporary patriotic preaching. It proves that the ethnocentrism of the Church in Poland, has an ethnically based definition of sacrum, limiting one's view to the Polish national community. As a consequence 'we'in such discourse is an equivalent of 'we, the Polish people'. Christian (or generally: human, universal) attitude is not evident. In the first part of the article the main elements of religious discourse are presented: type of speaker (hierarchs of the Church - archbishops, bishops), occasions (national and religious celebrations), places (cathedral, basilica, Jasna Góra Monastery). In the second part of the article, its author analyses a sermo…

Improving Civic and Citizenship Education in Latvia

2021

The chapter characterizes citizenship education in Latvia within the national education system and on the level of public interest and involvement. The article particularly focuses on a large school education reform carried out in Latvia since 1991. The chapter concludes with recommendations for further research in the field of citizenship education in Latvia, as well as for policymakers. As regards possible policy changes, the author suggests raising civic competence, and replacing the sometime exaggerated manifestations of patriotism with awareness about security issues, individual and democratic values, and the sense of belonging at different levels. In addition, an aim should be to enha…

Privacy invasions

2006

Nowhere has technological progress been as dramatic as in the field of information and communication technology (ICT). Citizens of the developed world now live in an environment in which access to electronic information and communication is nearly ubiquitous—and we rely heavily on being surrounded by this technology. In fact, it is so omnipresent that we only recognize our dependence on ICT when a network server or a communications system fails, leaving us cut off from cyberspace. > …computers, mobile telephones, personal digital assistants, music players and all other types of electronic gadgets are further shrinking in size, and we will soon wear them as we do clothes or jewellery… The fi…

«History’s stained canvas»: Uses and appropriations of medieval past in Enlightenment Historiography. The case of Peter «the cruel»

2020

The aim of this paper is to explore the political meanings of the medieval past in the historical understanding of individuals in the 18th century. Beyond the familiar Gothic myth, I will focus on the multilayered image of the monarch Peter of Castile (1334–1369), considered cruel, lustful and passionate in the eyes of enemies and historians. The aim is to analyse the different attitudes towards and uses of this historical figure (one that was quite problematic given the cultural values of the period), ranging from the most negative of connotations to the most passionate of defences and including some more ambiguous stances. For this analysis, I will explore certain Enlightenment debates th…

Civil Religion or Nationalism? The National Day Celebrations in Norway

2021

The Norwegian National Day (17 May, also referred to as Constitution Day) stands out as one of the most popular National Day celebrations in Europe. According to surveys, around seven out of every 10 Norwegians take part in a public celebration during this day. This means that the National Day potentially has an impact on the way people reflect upon national identity and its relationship to the Lutheran heritage. In this paper, I will focus on the role religion plays in the Norwegian National Day rituals. Researchers have described these rituals as both containing a significant religious element and being rather secularized. In this article, I discuss the extent to which the theoretical con…

i possibili Sud dell'esistenza: L'isola di Evelina Santangelo

2016

“Il modo in cui ho sempre trattato la lingua, il modo in cui ho sempre ricercato una particolare espressività, anche quando non ho raccontato esplicitamente della mia terra, sono una traccia fortissima ed evidente della mia identità siciliana. E infine anche l´ossessiva attenzione verso la marginalità, verso tutti i possibili ‘sud’ dell´esistenza”. Così dichiara Evelina Santangelo, in un’intervista del 2009, confermando la conflittualità dialettica di un legame con la “terramadre” sempre più lontano dalla riconoscibilità mimetica dei luoghi eppure talmente intrinseco alle ragioni stesse della scrittura da farsene elemento costitutivo. La Sicilia dell’autrice palermitana si delinea nella sua…

Grupas "Skyforger" ietekme uz nacionālās identitātes veidošanos subkultūrās

2018

Bakalaura darba “Grupas “Skyforger” ietekme uz nacionālās identitātes veidošanos subkultūrās” mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai folkmetāla/pagānmetāla grupa ir spējīga veidot tās auditorijā nacionālās identitātes sajūtu un patriotismu. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tika apskatīta šī mūzikas žanra vēsture, rašanās iemesli, tā pasniegtās vērtības un metālistu subkultūras vēsture un vērtības. Darba empīriskās daļas datu ievākšanai izmantota daļēji strukturēta intervija ar grupas līderi, fokusgrupas diskusija ar metālistu subkultūras pārstāvjiem un aptauja. Darba rezultātos secināts, ka grupas “Skyforger” mūzika tiešā veidā nerada patriotisma un nacionālās identitātes izjūtu tās auditorijā, bet liek lepoties…

Conspicuous Consumption in Emerging Markets: The Case of Starbucks in Colombia as a Global and Sustainable Brand.

2021

Conspicuous consumption symbolizes ostentatious and material consumption through the purchase of products and services with a higher economic value and that allows their consumers to excel socially. However, conspicuous consumption often does not represent social and environmental values, because their products are often not characterized by being made through sustainable processes. United Nations, through its sustainable development agenda, invited companies to be aware of the social and environmental problems of the world and to be able to generate strategies that can be sustainable over time and allow the growth of both the company and society in general. This study analyses the case of …
