The Subject

The last time I had the pleasure of addressing a meeting of this Division the subject I discussed was the different forms of insanity met with during the period of adolescence, and it was suggested that it would be interesting to investigate the cases at the other end of the scale—that is, those connected with the incidence of decay and old age, and to compare them with the previous cases.

Resumo: Este trabalho é o resultado de uma pesquisa sobre a sexualidade e o amor na velhice, tendo como objetivo analisar - através da interação da psicanálise com a análise da produção dos sentidos na perspectiva discursiva - os aspectos da sexualidade do ponto de vista pulsional. Para isso, analisamos as implicações inconscientes que estão em jogo nessa problemática. Utilizamos como instrumento metodológico a produção de efeitos de sentidos baseada na Análise do Discurso (AD) da escola francesa que tem como fundador Michel Pêcheux, mais especificamente na terceira fase desse autor, levando em consideração as teorizações de Althier-Revuz, de Orlandi e de Teixeira. Contribui para este trabalho também os fundamentos da psicanálise de Freud no que se refere ao inconsciente e à sexualidade, e de Lacan, no que se refere ao sujeito do discurso na sua relação com o Outro. Concluímos que as questões ligadas à sexualidade e ao amor na velhice se revelam na heterogeneidade discursiva, "com as não-coincidências do dizer". A sexualidade insiste em se apresentar de outra maneira, sob a forma de fantasias, desejos e sonhos. Com a velhice não se verifica a suposta desistência da vida sexual e amorosa, pois esta é pulsional, sendo, por isso mesmo, um elemento vital inesgotável. Palavras-chave: Sexualidade. Velhice. Heterogeneidade do Discurso. Abstract: This paper is the result of the research on Sexuality and Love in Old Age. The objective is to analyze, through the interaction of psychoanalysis with the analysis of the production of significations, from the discursive perspective, the aspects of sexuality from the pulsional point of view. For that, we analyzed the unconscious implications that are in game in that problem. As a metodological instrument we used the production of effects of significations based on Speech Analysis of the French school that has as founder Michel Pêcheux, more specifically, in that author’s third phase, taking in consideration the theorization of Althier-Revuz, of Orlandi and of Teixeira. Also contributing to this work are the foundations of Freud’s psychoanalysis reffering to the unconscious and sexuality, and of Lacan, reffering to the subject of speech in its relationships with the Other. We concluded that the subjects tied to sexuality and love in old age are revealed in discursive heterogeneity, with the non-coincidences of saying. Sexuality insists on coming in another way under the form of fantasies, desires and dreams. With old age the supposed waiver of a sexual and loving life is not verified, because this is pulsional, being for that reason an inexhaustible vital element. Keywords: Sexuality. Old Age. Heterogeneity of Speech.

The text presents geragogy ( first of all from from polish research perspective) that is frequently described as pedagogy of old age, but here presented as a pedagogical subdiscipline dealing with education aimed at old age. It points to the beginnings of geragogy and its position in the system of scientific research concerning old age and ageing that are, on the one hand pedagogical and on the other remaining in the realm of gerontology. It presents the subject matter of geragogy highlighting the key research context that education plays here, including its various functions. The work outlines the sections and contemporary fields of geragogical research and also reveals the character of geragogy as science as well as its methodology. Additionally, it presents the model of a geragogue as a specialist dealing with educational support for people (not only the elderly ones) as far as experiencing old age and the processes of ageing are concerned.

Cellular Blue Nevus

The respective roles of the ribo somes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and perhaps nucleus in the synthesis and maturation of melanosomes is still the subject of some controversy. While the early melanosomes (premelanosomes) have been frequently demonstrated to originate as Golgi vesicles, it is undeniable that these structures can be formed in cells in which Golgi system is not found. This report was prompted by the findings in an essentially amelanotic human cellular blue nevus (melanocytoma) of two distinct lines of melanocytes one of which was devoid of any trace of Golgi apparatus while the other had normal complement of this organelle.

Starting with the controversial esoteric employment of audio recordings by followers of the charismatic Muslim preacher Sharif Haidara in Mali, the article explores the dynamics emerging at the interface of different technologies and techniques employed by those engaging the realm of the Divine. I focus attention on the “border zone” between, on the one hand, techniques for appropriating scriptures based on long-standing religious conventions, and, on the other, audio recording technologies, whose adoption not yet established authoritative and standardized forms of practice, thereby generating insecurities and becoming the subject of heated debate. I argue that “recyclage” aptly describes the dynamics of this “border zone” because it captures the ways conventional techniques of accessing the Divine are reassessed and reemployed, by integrating new materials and rituals. Historically, appropriations of the Qur’an for esoteric purposes have been widespread in Muslim West Africa. These esoteric appropriations are at the basis of the considerable continuities, overlaps and crossovers, between scripture-related esoteric practices on one side, and the treatment by Sharif Haidara’s followers of audio taped sermons as vessels of his spiritual power, on the other.

The author of the article analyses the problem of the female emancipation in the little-known feuilleton “Amazonia: A Very Inept Story” (1924) by Mykola Chirsky. The author determines the genre affiliation of the work and examines its compositional structure. Three parts are distinguished in the architectonics of associative feuilleton: associative conception; deployment of a “small” topic; conclusion. The author of the article clarifies the role of intertextual elements and the method of constantly switching the tone from serious to comic to reveal the thematic direction of the work. Mykola Chirsky’s interest in the problem of female emancipation is corresponded to the general mood of the era. The subject of ridicule in provocative feuilleton is the woman’s radical metamorphoses, since repulsive manifestations of emancipation becomes commonplace. At the same time, the writer shows respect for the woman, appreciates her femininity, internal and external beauty, personality. He associates the positive in women with the functions of a faithful wife, a caring mother, and a skilled housewife. In feuilleton, the writer does not bypass the problem of the modern man role in a family, but analyses the value and moral and ethical guidelines of his character. The husband’s bad habits receive a caricatured interpretation in the strange behaviour of relatives. On the one hand, the writer does not perceive the extremes brought by female emancipation, and on the other, he mercilessly criticises the male “virtues” of contemporaries far from the standard. The artistic heritage of Mykola Chirsky remains little studied. The urgent task of modern literary studies is the introduction of Mykola Chirsky’s unknown works into the scientific circulation and their thorough scientific understanding.

The sphere of the unknown, supernatural and miraculous is one of the most popular subjects for everyday discussions in Ayodhya – the last of the provinces of the Mughal Empire, which entered the British Raj in 1859, and in the distant past – the space of many legendary and mythological events. Mostly they concern encounters with inhabitants of the “other world” – spirits, ghosts, jinns as well as miraculous healings following magic rituals or meetings with the so-called saints of different religions (Hindu sadhus, Sufi dervishes),with incomprehensible and frightening natural phenomena. According to the author’s observations ideas of the unknown in Avadh are codified and structured in Avadh better than in other parts of India. Local people can clearly define if they witness a bhut or a jinn and whether the disease is caused by some witchcraft or other reasons. Perhaps that is due to the presence in the holy town of a persistent tradition of katha, the public presentation of plots from the Ramayana epic in both the narrative and poetic as well as performative forms. But are the events and phenomena in question a miracle for the Avadhvasis, residents of Ayodhya and its environs, or are they so commonplace that they do not surprise or fascinate? That exactly is the subject of the essay, written on the basis of materials collected by the author in Ayodhya during the period of 2010 – 2019. The author would like to express his appreciation to Mr. Alok Sharma (Faizabad) for his advice and cooperation.

Abstract De-Finition. Poststructuralist Objections to the Limitation of the Other The metaphysic tradition always tried to structure the world by definitions and scientific terms. Since poststructuralist authors like Derrida, Foucault and Deleuze have claimed the ›death of the subject‹ educational research cannot ignore the critical objections to its own methods. Definitions and identifications may be a violation of the other’s right to stay different and undefined. This article tries to discuss the scientific limitations of the other in a pedagogical, ethical and political perspective.

First Philosophy

The general objective of this study is to analyze the postulate of the ethics of otherness as the first philosophy, presented by Emmanuel Levinas. It is a proposal that runs through Levinas' thinking from his theoretical foundations, to his philosophical criticism. Levinas' thought presents itself as a new thought, as a critique of ontology and transcendental philosophy. For him, the concern with knowledge and with being made the other to be forgotten, placing the other in totality. Levinas proposes the ethics of otherness as sensitivity to the other. The subject says here I am, making myself responsible for the other in an infinite way, in a transcendence without return to myself, becoming hostage to the other, as an irrefutable responsibility. The idea of the infinite, present in the face of the other, points to a responsibility whoever more assumes himself, the more one is responsible, until the substitution by other.

The article is devoted to the subject of the goals of the climate and energy policy of the European Union, which can have both a positive, and a negative impact on the environmental and energy policies. Positive aspects are the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, diversification of energy supplies, which should improve Europe independence from energy imports, and increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the national energy system structures. On the other hand, overly ambitious targets and actions can lead to large losses for the economies of EU Member States. The article also highlights the realities prevailing in the international arena and noncompliance of international actors with global agreements on climate protection.

Although St. Basil did not live 50 years, the topic of the old age appears in his works quite often. On the other hand, it is clear that Basil does not discuss this issue in one par­ticular work or in the longer argumentation. The fragmentary statements about old age can be found in almost all his works, but most of them can be found in the correspondence of Basil. In this paper we present the most important ad the most interesting aspect of teach­ing of Basil the Great. As these certificates show that the bishop of Caesarea looked at the old age maturely, rationally estimated passage of time, which very often makes a man different. He experienced it, for example as a spiritual and physical suffering, which often were connected with his person. He saw a lot of aspect of the old age, especially its advan­tages – spiritual maturity and wisdom. What is more, he pointed also to passage of time, which leads a man to eternity, which should be prepared to, regardless how old he is. In his opinion fear is not seen opinions of St. Basil present really Christian way of thinking, well-balanced and calm.
