The article examines ideological and institutional role of the “greening” policy in the Soviet urban planning practice of 1920-1930s. Relying on the example of the socialist city of Uralmash in Yekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk) the author traces how the idea of the “green city” affected the development of the urban settlement in terms of its functional mechanism and symbolic transformation. By analyzing the logic of the Uralmash “green” policy and its main narratives he argues that successful improvement of the post-Soviet green zones depends not so much on the new urban city-planning initiatives as on the new symbols and meanings that could give a clear vision of these spaces in the current social and cultural context.
Arthur C. Danto’s philosophical study of history is overshadowed by his more famous texts in the area of the philosophy of art. In the current discussion on the philosophy of history it follows then that the thematization of Danto’s conception of narrative and narrative sentences predominates. The author of this article instead focuses on the retrospective character of the uncovering of the meaning of historical events by Danto and argues that not the only the meaning of the given events is historically conditioned, as Danto claims, but also the narrative through which the significance is communicated. Although Danto does not address this problem, this study aims to show that this thesis is consistent with his philosophy. Narratives and historical texts in general are representations in Danto’s sense of the word, and all representations are, in their essence, also historical. This fact is clearly revealed in Danto’s texts about art, and it is on these that the author’s argument is based. and Filosofické zkoumání dějin se v díle Arthura C. Danta ocitá ve stínu jeho slavnějších textů řazených do oblasti filosofie umění. V současné diskusi o filosofii dějin pak převládá tematizování Dantova pojetí narativu a narativních vět. Autorka se namísto toho zaměřuje na retrospektivní charakter odhalování významu historických událostí prosazovaný Dantem a dovozuje, že historicky podmíněný není pouze význam daných událostí, jak tvrdí Danto, ale také samy narativy, jejichž prostřednictvím je význam sdělován. Přestože Danto tomuto problému nevěnuje pozornost, klade si tato studie za cíl ukázat, že je tato teze s Dantovou filosofií v souladu. Narativy a historické texty obecně jsou totiž reprezentacemi v Dantově smyslu slova, přičemž jsou veškeré reprezentace ze své podstaty zároveň také historické. Tato skutečnost se zřetelně odhaluje v Dantových textech o umění, o které se argumentace autorky opírá.
The main views on the nature of narrative in Wittgenstein’s later philosophy are analyzed. It is shown how, realizing the research narrative, he paid attention to the linguistic means of expression of our thoughts, reference to the actual reality, the logical component of argumentation. It is shown that in order to place worldview ac-cents more clearly and strengthen the expressive effect of thought, Wittgenstein pragmatized the narrative, in particular, used metaphors, images of learning, took into account the historico-cultural context. It is important for him to show that the form of the narrative influences what meanings the interlocutor will comprehend. Through a system of micro- and macro-narratives, Wittgenstein intended to express his opinion as clearly as possible, although he made the reader an active participant in the narrative. The thinker did not deviate from the analytico-scientific standards of philosophizing, although he showed that the relevant analysis of the narrative is significantly complicated by the ambiguities of its interpretation, the uniqueness of human experience and the identity of each narrator’s value system. It is argued that a pragmatic approach to narrative analysis significantly expands the research methodology of the analytic thinker and, accordingly, makes it possible to deepen our understanding of reality and human existence, as well as more clearly define the specifics of their knowledge.
SLäNDa, the Swedish literature corpus of narrative and dialogue, is a corpus made up of eight Swedish literary novels from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, manually annotated mainly for different aspects of dialogue. The full annotation also contains other cited materials, like thoughts, signs and letters. The main motivation for including these categories as well, is to be able to identify the main narrative, which is all remaining unannotated text.

SLäNDa version 2.0 extends version 1.0 mainly by adding more data, but also by additional quality control, and a slight modification of the annotation scheme. In addition, the data is organized into test sets with different types of speech marking: quotation marks, dashes, and no marking.
