- Subject:
- Filozofie, filozofie, philosophy, Charles Taylor, identity, significant others, authenticity, liberalism, the politics of universalism, politics of differentiation, individualism, moral relativism, instrumental reason, respect, 5, and 101
- Language:

- Description:
- This contribution deals with identity as it is specifically defined by Taylor as a dialogical entity, and with the inadequate conditions that are provided in liberal societies for its formation, and of the indispensable presence of significant others in this process. The second part is devoted to the analysis of a the characteristic features of liberal societies. In the third part the author turns to the disharmonies between the demands on the creation of identity and the conditions provided by liberal areas. Demonstrations are provided at the universal level as well as at the level of concrete problems - individualism, moral relativism, the dominance of instrumental reason, the lack of respect. In conclusion the author summarises her findings and confirms the stated hypothesis on the contemporary conditions of liberal societies which hinders the formation of the modern identity of man., Bojana Ladrová., and Obsahuje poznámky a bibliografii

33. Projevy identity v pohřebním ritu obyvatel Bohemky a Veselinovky na Ukrajině

- Format:
- Type:
- model:internalpart and TEXT
- Subject:
- Bohemka, Veselinovka, Ukraine, identity, funeral rites, and postfuneral rites
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Bohemka and Veselinovka in Ukraine were founded at the beginning of the twentieth century by descendants of Czech religious emigrants of the eighteenth century. Nowadays, both villages are inhabited predominantly by Protestant Czechs who still constitute a majority, as well as by Ukraininas of Orthodox denomination and, partly, by individuals of other nationalities. In the article the ethnical and confessional identity of inhabitants of both villages is being presented through the analysis of funeral and postfuneral rites and their material manifestatíons. In both communities funerals and funeral feasts are celebrated; besides, rites commemorating the deceased are observed; „pominky", that is, remembrances of the dead that také place in precisely determinated intervals, „provody“ or collective visits of cemeteries accompanied by feasting on the graves, and also remembrances of deceased soldiers at memorials. Most of these rituals stem from Orthodox tradition, but nowadays also Czech inhabitants of the communities participate in them. They struggle to belittle them, because they are not compatible wiťh their tradition as well as with their religious ideology. Dissimilarities, but also coming together of both groups manifested itself on both cemeteries. Coming together had been realized thanks to more intense social bonds among members of both groups. The (post)funeral rites contain in themselves expressions of ethnic and confessional identity through symbols, such as cross and chalice. Such rituals not only make reference to tradition, but they introduce the participants into the system of reciprocal relations and corroborate the existing social bonds.

34. Strana jako utopie: komunistická identita po pádu stalinismu

- Subject:
- komunismus, stalinismus, identita, communism, Stalinism, identity, 8, and 93/94
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Článek zkoumá transformaci komunistické identity ve východním bloku po roce 1956, přičemž poukazuje jak na okamžiky jejího úpadku, tak na pokusy znovu tuto identitu vytvořit. Věnuje se tomu, jak se komunistická identita přetvářela a proměňovala mimo nejvyšší kruhy stranického vedení, mezi řadovými členy strany. Po dvacátém sjezdu sovětských komunistů a následujících událostech roku 1956 čelil pocit sounáležitosti komunistických stran a společnosti vážné výzvě, kterou představovaly obrozené národní, etnické, konfesní či náboženské identity. Renesance těchto partikulárních identit v roce 1956 těžce narušila zastřešující utopický příběh komunistické budoucnosti. Na druhou stranu však víra v komunistické panství oslabena nebyla. Tato studie nabízí tezi, že se objevila jakási náhražková utopie schopná sjednotit partikulární identity v sourodý významový celek, jenž se opíral o představu strany coby lokálního a národního aktéra. Autor popisuje tuto změnu jako posun od programatické utopie k procesuální utopii, která podle něj spočívala na prostorově decentralizovaných a časově fragmentovaných příbězích. and Pavel Kolář.

35. The soul of Tibet: representations of landscape in Chinese-medium literature about Tibet from the end of the 20th century
- Creator:

- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- Chinese literature, Tibetan literature, Orientalism, identity, and Tibetanness
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- All representations of the Other, adopt similar strategies, which emphasize the difference between the Other and Self, and are recognized as symbolic expressions of supposed superiority of Self over the Other, thus serving to legitimize any attempts to civilize or rule the Other. Such strategies, often applied by the West to describe the uneven East- West relations in the colonial literary discourse, can also be found in contemporary Chinese literary representations of “minority nationalities.” Representations of landscape are among the most important symbols that are used in the process of “othering” of the non-Self, and are especially relevant for Chinese representations of Tibet. The article examines the representation of Tibetan landscape in Chinese and Tibetan literatures, from the 1980s, written by both Han and Tibetan authors. Han writers have used the Tibetan landscape as a symbolic expression of the imaginary distance between themselves and Tibetans, while Tibetan authors stress the aspects that can help in an identification with the environment. The analysis reveals the symbolic function of landscape in relation to the newly (re)constructed Tibetan identity within the context of the multiethnic China at the end of the 20th century.

36. Two identities related to Dirichlet character of polynomials
- Creator:
- Yao, Weili and Zhang, Wenpeng
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- Dirichlet character of polynomials, sum analogous to Kloosterman sum, identity, and Gauss sum
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Let $q$ be a positive integer, $\chi $ denote any Dirichlet character $\mod q$. For any integer $m$ with $(m, q)=1$, we define a sum $C(\chi, k, m; q)$ analogous to high-dimensional Kloosterman sums as follows: $$ C(\chi, k, m; q)=\sum _{a_1=1}^{q}{}' \sum _{a_2=1}^{q}{}' \cdots \sum _{a_k=1}^{q}{}' \chi (a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_k+m\overline {a_1a_2\cdots a_k}), $$ where $a\cdot \overline {a}\equiv 1\bmod q$. The main purpose of this paper is to use elementary methods and properties of Gauss sums to study the computational problem of the absolute value $|C(\chi, k, m; q)|$, and give two interesting identities for it.

37. Vojna stejná a přece jiná: narativní (re)konstrukce základní vojenské služby v multigenerační perspektivě

- Type:

- Subject:
- army, military service, oral history, identity, narrative, memory, and geration
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Te study focusses on generational transformations in the perception of military service in the period from 1968 through 2004, as an important social phenomenon. Major attention is paid to oral-historical interviews with four contemporaries, or more precisely to the ways of (re)constructing their narrative reflections associated with military service in particular historical decades beginning with the 1970s with the overlap to the new millennium (meaning from the beginning of “normalization” after 1968 to the abolishment of military service in 2004). Besides the importance of military service, the text focusses on the identification of potential topics from military everyday life and culture of military service soldiers in the context of the conversion from the socialist army to the democratic one, and at the level of constructing the individual and the group identities.
