Seven Hellenes and One Christian in the Endless Peace Treaty of 532
No full textInternational audienceThe so-called Endless Peace treaty, signed between Rome and Persia in 532, contained several provisions that regulated issues of population transfer. According to the famous evidence of Agathias of Myrina, in the treaty there was also a clause guaranteeing safety from persecution and the tolerance of religious beliefs in the territory of the Roman Empire for the seven Neoplatonic philosophers returning from their Persian emigration.The present article proposes a re-evaluation of the clause mentioned by Agathias by extracting parallel information from an East-Syriac hagiographical source: an anonymous account of martyrdom of the high-profile Persian Christian convert Mar Grigor. The study deconstructs Agathias' evidence regarding the circumstances of the philosophers' emigration and return, and examines the available set of “conventional” sources on how the Endless Peace treaty regulated the status of different categories of displaced people. The investigation proceeds with an analysis of the Martyrdom of Mar Grigor, arguing for the importance of the East-Syriac hagiographical account for a comprehensive reconstruction of the conditions of the Endless Peace agreement. Assessing information provided by the Martyrdom of Mar Grigor and other available data, the author reveals the high relevance of the East-Syriac evidence for the discussion of the so-called clause of protection.The scope of the article is to demonstrate, for the first time in historiography, that the clause, included in the treaty to protect the seven Hellenic philosophers upon their return to the Christian Roman Empire, was not unilateral. It is suggested that the same diplomatic agreement contained a similar promise of safe conduct for the Christian Persian general, Pīrān-Gušnasp / Mar Grigor, coming back from Roman captivity to Zoroastrian Persia
COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF POLITICAL COMMUNICATION IN GERMAN NEWS BLOCKS
No full textThis article will focus on communication realizing within the political discourse of German language area. It defines the character of how the information space is being formed. This fact affects the reader, his assessment of a situation and conclusions which are made according the analyzed message. Speaking about a special genre of the political discourse named news blocks we should underline that the organization of such texts is mostly strictly defined and regulated, and their standards are fixed. This issue is explained through the vast amount of factual information that contain news compared to figural impressional or metaphoric elements. We can see this using the example of the following German news block: Eine mögliche Kollision könnte das Leben zahlreicher Pinguine und Robben auf der Insel bedrohen, teilte das britische Forschungsprogramm British Antarctic Survey (BAS) mit. Südgeorgien gehört zum britischen Überseegebiet, wird aber wie die 1300 Kilometer entfernten Falklandinseln von Argentinien beansprucht. (Eisberg bedroht Robben und Pinguine, 2020). But in fact, we usually meet some language instruments that show us the other emotional side of the deal. Used by the author they are to influence the reader in different ways. In this way the journalist let him feel the whole atmosphere, humor, irony etc. of the presented text. The combination of emotional and rational elements of the message is due to generate the intrapersonal cognitive conflict inside the audience. The author uses such an option to get and keep the attention and to focus it on necessary details. The audience can concentrate on the most important moments. They are should be underlined with the help of a headline or the main text too. The stylistic devices for it can be different, but they all are to create an effect to activize the cognitive conflict and hold attention of the reader. This conflict should be only constructive not to become interpersonal. This helps the journalist to stay objective and a professional writer. His main function is to inform his audience and lighten some interesting and essential news. How much emotional and rational components the author choose for his text it depends on the policy of a magazine or newspaper
Destruction of tolerance in Olzhas Zhanaydarov's play “Aldar”
No full textThe author deals with the refraction of the category of “tolerance” in O. Zhanaydarov's play “Aldar” through the interpretation of the image of the Migrant Other. The analysis of the work is built from the standpoint of the new drama and communicative violence as one of its main principles. The depiction of a migrant in the play is subject to a number of characteristics that contribute to the overall idea - to reflect acute inequality, global chaos, and the deconstruction of moral attitudes. Hence, the concept of tolerance undergoes complete decomposition, degradation - destruction. The discourse of the Other allows the playwright to narrate on the basis of a performative principle using a certain cultural code, which is also considered as the Other. By constructing a character's conflict with a system that is based on the foundation of violence, the author implements the principle of hyperrealism, which in turn exposes previously hidden problems that corrode society. The Other in this case turns out to be a signal of the need to reshape the “sick,” destructive world order, which is interpreted by society as something self-evident, unshakable. However, whether the Other can become an effective lever for understanding tolerance in its “healthy” meanings by changing the violent, perverted principles of reality - this question has not yet been answered

Православные общественные организации и гражданское общество в россии на рубеже XIX–XX вв.
No full textThe article explores the peculiarities of creation and function of Russian Orthodox social institutions of the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries in the relation to church reforms that were part of the modernization social life process. The author’s research focuses on whether it is possible to consider organizations created “from above” civil social institutions, and refers to the all-Russian, regional and local organizations. The author analyzes the correspondence and interaction of initiatives put forward by the authorities and the public during the establishment of the aforementioned organizations, as well as whether the regional peculiarities were taken into consideration during the process, as well as the public’s reaction to their activity. Using the historical-typological, structural-functional, and comparative approaches, the author concludes that church organizations should be regarded more as a means of learning the fundamentals of civil values and social initiative than as established social institutions as such.Рассматриваются особенности создания и функционирования российских православных общественных организаций второй половины XIX – начала ХХ в. в контексте церковных реформ, происходивших в русле модернизации общественной жизни. Основная научная проблема – можно ли считать создаваемые «сверху» организации институтом гражданского общества – изучается на материалах всероссийских, региональных и местных организаций. Анализируются соотношение и взаимодействие властных и общественных инициатив в процессе становления и развития этих организаций, учет региональной специфики, общественные отзывы о их деятельности. На основе применения историко-типологического, структурно-функционального, сравнительно-исторического подходов автор приходит к выводу, что существовавшие православные общественные организации целесообразно оценивать скорее как «школу гражданственности и общественной инициативы», чем как сложившиеся общественные организации в классическом понимании этого термина

The influence of user-generated content on social networking sites on choosing a travel destination for university students
No full textThe appearance of digital technologies has transformed the tourism industry, and user-generated content (UGC) has played a crucial role in this. UGC, characterised by people sharing their opinions and experiences online, serves as a critical source of information for tourism decision-making, changing market dynamics, and the relationship between customers and suppliers. Thus, the main objective of this dissertation is to investigate how the use of UGC sites may influence travel decisions among university students in Portugal and Spain. The author uses an online questionnaire based on a conceptual model created for this study to address this objective. The results of the questionnaire are analysed using Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), identifying five main configurations, two of which explain high visit intention, and three of which – low visit intention of the researched group, and concerning the main factors: usage of UGC sites depending on the stage of the trip planning process, the importance of UGC for travel decisions, need for information, destination familiarity and planning complexity. In addition, although some results demonstrate that the factors used in the thesis may lead to high visit intention, the drivers of representatives from the target group towards UGC for travel decisions may differ, depending on students’ backgrounds and personal preferences. Therefore, the findings provide valuable insights for future research and tourism businesses. As for future research, it is advisable to obtain a more extensive and diverse sample, for example, encompassing more universities and student demographics, including more countries or considering comparing cultural differences between students. Finally, tourism businesses should recognise UGC’s impact and provide credible and informative content on UGC platforms because it can significantly impact tourists’ visit intention.O surgimento das tecnologias digitais transformou a indústria do turismo e o conteúdo gerado pelo utilizador (CGU) desempenhou um papel crucial nesse processo. O CGU, caracterizado por pessoas que partilham as suas opiniões e experiências online, serve como uma fonte crítica de informação para a tomada de decisões no turismo, alterando a dinâmica do mercado e a relação entre clientes e provedores. Assim, o principal objetivo desta dissertação é investigar de que forma a utilização de sites de CGU pode influenciar as decisões de viagem dos estudantes universitários em Portugal e Espanha. Para responder a este objetivo, o autor utiliza um questionário online baseado num modelo concetual criado especificamente para este estudo. Os resultados do questionário são processados através da análise qualitativa comparativa e aos conjuntos Fuzzy (fsQCA), identificando cinco configurações principais, duas das quais explicam a elevada intenção de visita, e três das quais – a baixa intenção de visita do grupo investigado, e relativamente aos principais factores: utilização de sítios de CGU dependendo da fase do processo de planeamento da viagem, a importância do CGU para as decisões de viagem, a necessidade de informação, a familiaridade com o destino e a complexidade do planeamento. Além disso, apesar de alguns resultados demonstrarem que os factores utilizados na dissertação podem levar a uma intenção de visita elevada, os motivos que levam os representantes do grupo-alvo a utilizar o CGU para tomar decisões de viagem podem ser diferentes, dependendo dos antecedentes e das preferências pessoais dos estudantes. Por isso, os resultados fornecem informações valiosas para futuras investigações e empresas de turismo. Em relação à investigação futura, é aconselhável obter uma amostra mais extensa e diversificada, por exemplo, incluindo mais universidades e dados demográficos dos estudantes, incluindo mais países ou considerando a comparação das diferenças culturais entre os estudantes. Por último, as empresas de turismo devem reconhecer o impacto do CGU e fornecer conteúdos credíveis e informativos nas plataformas de CGU, uma vez que podem afetar significativamente a intenção de visita dos turistas
