Get PDFThe Sinister Aspects of Solitude: Corrupted Loners in Flannery O’Connor’s “The Lame Shall Enter First”
Get PDFOffering a close reading of Flannery O’Connor’s short story, “The Lame Shall Enter First,” and drawing on concepts of social psychology, this paper argues that the tragic outcome of the interactions between the three protagonists is due to their extended solitude and isolation from other people. Due to their long-term solitude, they have suffered emotional, moral or intellectual damage, which results in mutually destructive social interactions when they intermittently take place. In addition to this aspect of isolation, the clash of beliefs and attitudes is also examined as a contributing factor to the ensuing disaster
Central European Preparation for the European Integration
Get PDFIn addition to the author’s scientific work, the study -based on
pragmatic experiences -analyses the factors that characterized Central European
countries before the change of regime (1990) and then the foreign economic model
through which Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia („Visegrád 4”)
reached EU membership in 2004. The study highlighted that, with different depths,
in all countries concerned economic policies were characterized by liberal
bankruptcy regulations and strict conditions of competition, so that they could
prove their ability to meet the condition of a functioning market economy for EU
membership1. The export-oriented model, built on efficient inflow of foreign direct
investment and high-tech in the early 1990s, was implemented by the late 1990s
to demonstrate that these states were ready to meet another condition of EU
membership, namely to meet the challenges of the internal market.2 This
transformation represented a problem for the current account balance in the 1990s
(mainly due to the loss of traditional national export capacities) only in the middle
of the decade, and it was only at the end of the decade that trade balances showed
surplus with the EU. The total external equilibrium of the Visegrád countries was
maintained by the fact that the inflow of FDI had not yet started to conclude in
the withdrawal of profits from recent investments in Central Europe, and the
countervailing effect of EU net transfers, which began to arrive later parallelly
with the start of the withdrawal of FDI dividends. The CEFTA co-operation
concluded in 1992 followed the economic liberalization timetable of that of the
Visegrád Four with the EU parallelly but did not go beyond its depth for political
prudence, thus providing full opening to each other only after and through EU
membership, more precisely the liberalisation in services or in sensitive agricultural
trade. The CEFTA treaty was expanded to the Balkans after 1995 and has been
and is still a good example for countries that do not want to stay in an ex-Soviet
or ex-Yugoslav economic integration but is a good method for them to prepare for
the earliest possible EU membership

Get PDFUniversity-industry collaboration as a drive for innovation in Europe - A literature review with a systematic approach
Get PDFThe aim of our study is to systematically review existing literature from the past five years on university-industry collaboration, with a special emphasis on their relation to innovation. We conducted a literature review with a systematic approach with the involvement of 29 studies from European countries, published between 2016 and 2020. Our results have revealed a rather homogeneous pattern of research studies focusing on university-industry collaboration in European countries
“We Are Not Aliens in the Universe”: Marilynne Robinson’s Imaginative Re-enchantment of Protestantism
Get PDFMarilynne Robinson, in her novels and essays, sets out to retrieve a foundational strain of religious experience, one that has been minimized or even repressed in most branches of the Protestant tradition. This is what, following Paul Ricœur, American theologian David Tracy calls “the manifestation orientation” in religious expression. Building on Tracy’s distinction between “manifestation and proclamation” within Christianity, I identify and analyze a shift of emphasis from the “proclamation orientation” of Robinson’s first novel, Housekeeping, with its presentation of human existence as radically homeless and alienated, to “manifestation” in Robinson’s later work. In the Gilead novels, while preserving the proclamation orientation of Protestantism through an indictment of social injustice, she corrects the one-sided Protestant emphasis on divine transcendence and human sin, affirming a fundamental “at-home-ness” (Tracy) in the universe. Through her fictional Protestant minister and a creative rereading of classical Protestant theologians, Robinson offers an imaginative alternative to Weberian accounts of Protestant spiritualit
“The Heave of the Swell” – Metaphors of the Sea in Short Stories from Atlantic Canada (1900-1930)
No full text“The Heave of the Swell” – Metaphors of the Sea in Short Stories from Atlantic Canada (1900-1930). The paper examines the use of sea metaphors in Atlantic Canadian short stories written between 1900 and 1930. Lakoff and Kövecses’s cognitive concept of the metaphor will provide the theoretical framework for the identification and classification of sea metaphors surfacing in the texts to be analysed. Using the socio-cultural background information provided in the first part of the paper, the more substantial second part will constitute the actual analysis, which will concentrate on the sea metaphor use of the works of prominent Atlantic Canadian short story writers from the golden age of the sea story
