Bocskai István példája a 19-20. század kritikus korszakaiban

The goal of this study is to give an overview of the figure of István Bocskai, the prince of Transylvania in the public eye in three critical periods of the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in political thought. He is mentioned often during difficult times, while before and after these periods he is referenced much less frequently. The experience of the Revolution of 1848–1849 constituted an emotional basis for the formation of the Hungarian national identity, and the previous struggles of the Hungarian Estates were seen as parallels. The contemporaries saw a connection between the glorious period of the 17th century and their own times. This connection elevated Bocskai’s revolution to being seen as one of the great chapters of Hungarian history, and the prince became a member of the national pantheon. During the crisis following World War I, and later around World War II, different considerations gained importance, and the prince’s image became much more multifaceted. However, Bocskai still wasn’t a divisive personality, he was seen as a great politician and freedom fighter. Every political faction and ideology considered him an example to be followed, and found something among his values, achievements or deeds that fit their current message. It can be seen that the meaning of the past changes constantly, and different sources of remembrance paint a confusingly varied picture of Bocskai, who is constantly “repositioned” in public memory, but the role of history in politics doesn’t change: it underlines and authenticates contemporary messages.

Пушкин в историософском споре Ивана Аксакова и Владимира Соловьева

The article compares the approaches of I. Aksakov and Vl. Solovyov to comprehend the phenomenon of Pushkin's creativity in the process of the formation of national identity. The statement of the problem is connected with the need to clarify the question of the genesis of the concept of national self-denial by Vl. Solovyov, opposed to the Slavophile idea of national self-consciousness, which he mistakenly associated with national “exclusivity”, nationalism. The starting point of the historiosophical dispute between Aksakov and Solovyov was the Pushkin celebrations of 1880 and Dostoevsky's speech, which Aksakov perceived as a “triumph” of Slavophilism, and Solovyov as a defeat of the Slavophile idea in favor of joining world Christian history. At the same time, the central argument for the historical beneficence of “national self-denial” for Solovyov is two iconic figures of Russian history: Pushkin and Peter I. It is noted that the attitude of I. Aksakov and Vl. Solovyov to Pushkin evolved in a peculiar way and had both points of irreconcilable divergence and intersection. It is proved that the late Solovyov, developing the foundations of his “moral philosophy”, considering the phenomenon of Pushkin's creativity from a moral and aesthetic position, came closest to Aksakov's idea of Pushkin's place in the historical and cultural process of national self-consciousness.

Deconstructing the Fable of Inclusive National Identity in Pakistan Account of Dwindling Kalasha Indigenous Identity in Chitral Authors

Ideological and Cultural identities are commonly observed as a few of the integral facets of human societal identity variables, but in Pakistan, ideological alterations are oftentimes equated as binary to the commonly shared notion of Islamic identity. The animistic ideological identity of the Kalasha community in Chitral holds a global prominence and recognition that dates back to centuries, but in recent decades their indigenous identity and norms have been under a consistent spell of exclusivist identity projection, leaving their distinctive identity norms and animistic cultural values at the peril of hovering extinction. The study initially builds on the ongoing religiously influenced national identity formation in Pakistan aiming further to highlight the systematic causes of the Kalasha community's endangered indigenous identity decline, using the lens of Identity Subordination theory’. The paper aims to unveil how exclusive identity formation through incentivized stratagems is being perpetuated against the community by the dominant religious Sunni (Clerical) group. The paper finally proposes the need for the adoption and implementation of inclusive attitudes and actions, along with much-needed measures both at the grassroots and state level for combatting the ethno-terrorism carried out against the Kalasha identity and indigenous culture.

The findings in this study are that the components in citizenship education are materials taught to students contained in the book Pancasila and Citizenship Education, which includes components to fulfill indicators of forming students’ political awareness, and citizenship education learning strategies have also used a strategy of involving students in the environment where they live. To increase participation, use strategies for activities in schools to increase tolerance and awareness as citizens. A strategy is carried out involving several relevant stakeholders such as election administrators and the police. The formation of national identity in the citizenship education component is that material taught to students to enhance the formation of national identity has not been included in the material being taught; therefore, learning strategies to achieve the formation of student national identity have not been carried out.

Why Not Mahan? Path Dependence in Modern Japanese Geostrategic Thinking of the Pacific

Abstract It is well known that during the 1930s and the 1940s intellectuals in Japan, an island state, devoured geopolitical theories constructed in a typical ‘land power’, Germany. Not only did this fad contradict the geographical reality of Japanese territory. It was also at odds with Japan’s contemporary national identity as a maritime state. This article highlights intellectual path dependence as the key to explaining this conundrum. The initial decision that paved the way for the adoption of the German tradition of geopolitics was made shortly before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War by political scientist Onozuka Kiheiji, who consciously opted for the geographical ideas of Friedrich Ratzel instead of the naval strategy of Alfred Thayer Mahan as a theoretical guide and justification for empire-building. This article illustrates how the choice made by Onozuka induced his students, who became leading intellectual figures after World War I, to follow the evolution of German geopolitics and to propagate the ideas of Karl Haushofer at the beginning of the Pacific War. The article ends by briefly describing how the Geopolitik tradition was overcome by the formation of a new maritime national identity after the war.

Aspects of the historical-cultural research of spindle

The topic of thearicle is a spindle, research is based on archaeological, mythological, ethnographic and linguistic data. Comparative analysis of spindles from the Armenian museums’ collections makes it possible to trace the transformation of spindle in technical and semantic aspects.The results of cultural and spiritual activity, accumulated by humanity over the millennia are perceived by modern man as a value, a heritage that must be preserved and transferred to future generations. Objects of historical and cultural value form the basis of modern culture. However, over time, they are transformed both from a semantic and technical point of view. Being a real attribute of historical memory, they act as intermediaries in "communication" with cultures distant in time or space, correlate in the mind of a person with belonging to a particular culture, are a symbol of human relations.The researcher, relying on the evidence of historical, archaeological, ethnographic reestablished sources (artifactual information), must complete and study culture, both past and present, without excluding functioning reality, in order to preserve them in the public "memory system," which will allow us to talk about the roots and transformation of the cultural element, about the impact on the formation of worldview and national identity.

RUSSIAN HISTORICAL AND SOCIO-POLITICAL REALIA NOMINATIONS: FORMATION PATTERNS AND METHODS OF TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH

The article discusses formation patterns of the nominations of historical and socio-political realities that reflect life in Russia from the first half of the 20th century to the present times. It also touches upon the ways of translation of these lexical units into English. The choice of the research topic is due to the fact that, on the one hand, it makes it possible to trace the evolution of a certain linguistic layer against the backdrop of profound changes Russian society has undergone over the past century, on the other hand, it broadens the mind of both Russian and English-speaking audiences regarding key events that influenced the national identity formation of the Russian world.

Dance Traditions in Calendar Rituals of Shrovetide: Cultural Narratives

The purpose of the work is to describe the calendar rituals of Maslenitsa (Shrovetide) in the context of cultural studies, where dance is an important factor in preserving the potential of traditions. Since ancient times, all ritual actions have been accompanied by words, singing, melody, movements, gestures – that is, by standardised ritual formulas. Thus, dance traditions reflected the worldview and were an expressive means of culture of a particular ethnic group and are still an active factor in the cultural dialogue between the past and modern culture. The research methodology is based on general scientific and special methods: a systematic approach (rituals in the cultural system are substantiated), a structural approach (dance is considered as a phenomenon in the context of cultural practices), a synergistic approach (as a complementary component of the study of dance traditions and the dynamics of their demonstration in the context of calendar rituals). It is through traditions that choreography is able to artistically and aesthetically demonstrate and organise the moving archetypes of human inner freedom and, at the same time, symbolically embody the plastic dynamics of the external world of song in dance images. The scientific novelty is that the modern character of dance in the segments of the cultural core of the traditions of the calendar rituals of Shrovetide is revealed. The idea of dance traditions in the calendar rituals of Shrovetide as a special form of presentation of cultural narratives is substantiated. Therefore, it is now necessary to intensify scientific research on these issues, to comprehend the essence of the historical process of development and preservation of traditions with their subsequent implementation both in Ukraine as a whole and in individual regions. Conclusions. The narratives of "dance in the calendar rituals" are impossible without analysing the heritage of folk traditions. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the scientific contribution to the spiritual treasury of the people, to study the historical and cultural background of the formation of national identity as an achievement of previous eras, that is, to instrumentalise cultural narratives, in particular, in artistic images of calendar rituals.
 Key words: dance, traditions, rituals, Shrovetide, cultural narratives.

The significance of the state language as a factor of influence on the formation of constitutional identity: a look through the sphere of education in Ukraine

The article is devoted to the constitutional and legal study of the influence of the state language when it is applied in the field of education of Ukraine on the formation of constitutional identity. The relevance of the study is due, among other things, to the unconditional influence of the Ukrainian language in its constitutional and legal status as the state language on the formation of national identity and on the issue of the Ukrainian national idea. In the course of the study, it was determined that constitutional identity is built on the basis of national, ethnic, linguistic and educational identity. The path of the transformation of the phenomenon of identity from a social to a legal category, which is accompanied by the direct influence of the social, economic and political situation in the state, is also clarified.The concept of «constitutional moment» is identified and characterized as a basic historical and legal event that influenced the selection of the legal phenomenon of the state language as a factor influencing the formation of constitutional identity, as well as the filling of the state language with axiological potential, which, among other things, gives grounds to classify it as “ eternal constitutional provisions”. In addition, the author draws attention to the valuable influence of the Ukrainian language, which in the future can become the basis for the development of new theoretical approaches to clarifying the significance of the state language as a constitutional value.The obtained research results confirm, in addition to another thesis, that the sociocultural phenomenon of identity through transformation and integration into the legal sphere becomes an environment of interaction between the language of the titular ethnos (the state language) and the national constitutional order, thus forming a unique and special model of constitutional identity, which is revealed in the relevant constitutional and legal provisions, which directly affects the regulation of language relations in the sphere of education of Ukraine.

The Singaporean foodscape - Convenience, choice, entertainment, and sociality for young workers

Singapore is famous for its diverse, affordable, and exciting foodscape. This paper focuses on understanding the multifaceted role that the Singaporean food environment plays in working young adults' lives, and how young adults interact with this environment to make food choices. Using a focused ethnographic approach, including 33 semi-structured interviews and participant-observation, we explore the ways in which busy working young adults interact with the foodscape. The food environment provides young adults, who eat out frequently, with highly accessible food options that cater to their budgets and palates. They often dine at hawker centres and similar food establishments with colleagues, friends and family. These establishments offer accessible, affordable, and appealing food. Overall, the foodscape provides a source of popular entertainment through the exploration of diverse cuisines and novel shared social experiences. Young adults are heavy users of social media to maintain social networks and to explore the food environment. Capitalizing on this, food marketing on social media targets this group with the promotion of food-related experiences. While it may not always promote healthy eating, the Singaporean foodscape offers convenience, choice, entertainment, and sociality. In the process, it facilitates the formation of cultural and national identity and the protection of mental well-being through the maintenance and development of relationships, and a sense of belonging.

ANTHROPOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF H. S. SKOVORODA IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN NATIONAL STATE-FORMING PROCESSES

The philosophical symbolism of H. Skovoroda’s works lies in wisdom, congenial work, seeing the big in the small, unveiling mysteries through the symbolic world. Skovoroda states that to be a human-being is to be a philosopher. The aim of philosophy is to reawaken the main mottos of the Age of Enlightenment (honor, dignity, freedom, justice, solidarity, morality).

Skovoroda and its significance for finding personal freedom and building open society. The leading methodological tools are fundamental research basics of the scientific analysis – principles of objectivity, systematicity, integrity, unity of the historic and the logical, determinism, development, and interrelation. Methodology of social and symbolic representations, ethnic representations, and structural functionalism has been used. Results. As Ukraine is experiencing complex social and political processes, the philosophical works by H. S. Skovoroda acquires special importance: formation and preservation of the Ukrainian national identity, national values, morality, and culture. The society needs politically-minded citizens with clear ideas about the prospects of the state development. Researching works of Skovoroda, one can trace the development of the human spirit: an internally-devastated person devoid of life reference points is gradually adapting to the life in society, overcomes the discrepancies between the singular and the whole finding a compromise in the relations with the world around them. The fates of the people and the nation, language and the state were the key problems which H. S. Skovoroda thoroughly and passionately analyzed through the perspective of universal human values. Conclusions. The modern Ukrainian society needs people in harmony with themselves and the world who work on improving themselves and the society. Such people should be able to overcome both their own internal contradictions and the conflicts in society and the world. Putting significant hope on the human-being as the creator of the new morality, H. Skovoroda believed in the possibility of building solid foundations of the state. An internally rich person and citizen is going to contribute to harmony of the nature, the world, human relations focusing on the issues of good and love as integral attributes of the human existence. The writer considered such personalities to be able to carry peace and unity to the unstable reality full of life challenges and to oppose the alienation, absurdity, and insignificance of the human existence.

“The Netherlands in Indonesia, 1945-49”: An Analysis of Argument Narrative Structure in Indonesian History Textbook

History textbooks influence students' interpretations through the structure of arguments and the meanings they contain. This article attempts to answer the question, what is the narrative structure of argument and meaning in the textbook? This article explores narrative arguments using Toulmin's model framework and the use of lexicogrammatical features to detect diction and word choice to identify the contrasting language in textbooks. We explore the Indonesian history textbook in senior high school class XI (eleven). The material analysed is the confrontation between the Netherlands and Indonesia from 1945-49. The study found that the textbook narrative argument identifies the claim that the early conditions of Indonesian independence were fraught with obstacles. The textbook claims that the arrival of the Allies and the Netherlands caused resistance, so the Indonesian struggle occurred in two ways: war and diplomacy. Indonesian history textbooks have become a tool of persuasion to benefit students' national identity formation. Using lexicogrammatical features also reinforces the claim that the Netherlands is on the "bad" side and Indonesia is on the "good" side. Thus, the narrative argument validates the official state-sanctioned history of the Netherlands as a colonialist state and exhibits antagonistic behaviour toward the Indonesian people's decision for independence.

Перспективы развития институтов и технологий борьбы с терроризмом в Анголе

The article focuses on the growth of the terrorist threat in modern Angola and the prospects for its reduction. It is argued that the emerging situation is due to a combination of economic, political and social factors. Ensuring the stable development of society requires Angola to improve the quality of social institutions in terms of coun-ter-terrorism technology development. In particular, it is necessary to take into account possible terrorist innova-tions, which, in the absence of an institutional response, can make the country’s population more vulnerable to terrorist propaganda. Long-term counteraction to terrorism in Angola should be linked to the state program of economic development of lagging regions and economic diversification. The state development of the IT in-dustry looks particularly promising, which will not only strengthen the country’s economy, but also allow the state to develop effective counter-terrorism technologies in the digital space. A decisive contribution to reducing the level of the terrorist threat should be made by institutional changes that involve the legitimisation of Cabin-da's political elites, as well as the formation of a strong national identity, which is impossible without building a more inclusive education system.
