The chapter will consider the continuity of Althusser’s thought and revise my previous interpretation backdating aleatory materialism to the sixties. I will analyse the context in which the concept of ‘encounter’ emerged in the sixties and show in a second moment that it is possible to identify this concept in the texts of the eighties, but only in one of the two tendencies which traverses this group of texts, the one I would call a materialist tendency. This tendency is intertwined with another tendency, an eschatological one — which emerged in the late seventies.

Austria is a country that in politics is guided by pragmatism. The main determinant of what is politically correct or not, it is the national interest. This approach is revealed in the past and present, including the question of the migrant community. It does not matter whether we are dealing with economic or political migrants or refugees. Since the sixties Austria is becoming a popular country where newcomers sought a better life. Many guest workers came then from Turkey and Yugoslavia. On the one hand, the Austrian authorities legally regulated migration and offered access to employment, on the other hand they tried to avoid restrictions. This pragmatic approach was due to favourable economic conditions prevailing in Austria. A similar situation we face today. The authorities want to control the influx of foreigners into Austria and at the same time without any restrictions they let in to the country people describing themselves as refugees. The presence of foreigners is an important part of the political game. Left-wing parties recognize that immigrants are important voters. Their representatives want in this way to gain popularity among Austrians who fear the negative impact of the influx of foreigners and promoted multiculturalism policy. A negative consequence of the Austrian pragmatism is highly critical assessment of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which do not support naive Germany’s policy in relation to the latest wave of newcomers. Austria, which in the past was seen as a bridge between the West and the East, has lost the support of the criticized countries, including Poland.

ABSTRACTThe popular media suggest that we are witnessing ‘a fashion for older women’ and that ‘the latest new faces to light up campaigns and covers’ are retirees (The Guardian, 16 September 2012). Do fashion designers know this? On the one hand, Sir Christopher Frayling, former Rector of the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom, observes that we need a change in mind-set for the art school of the future since design students’ attitudes to designing for older people is that it is really boring (‘Start the Week’, BBC Radio 4, 19 November 2012). On the other hand, the sculptor Antony Gormley states that ‘Art schools are the things that reinforce agency in the world’. This paper emerges out of an ongoing conversation between a group of women friends about how they feel about clothes and the fashion choices on offer to them. The women constitute a sub-group of women in their sixties who grew up in the 1960s, against a background of ‘cultural revolution’ in British fashion that emerged out of the art schools.

In the light of monetary experience and theory, the EMS appears to be unsustainable. Monetary history of the past sixty years shows that every attempt to stabilise the international monetary System has been frustrated as a consequence of divergent egocentric monetary policies. The breakdown of the rules of the gold standard game in the twenties, as well as the use of money as an instrument in national macroeconomic policies under the Bretton Woods regime have ultimately led to the demise of the fixed exchange rates System. In the sixties, European views on monetary policies were quite divergent, but in the seventies institutional attempts were made to bring them apparently into line. The "snake" arrangements, initiated in 1972, soon degenerated. The more ambitious attempt of 1979, the institutionally more elaborate EMS, suffers from the same basic weakness as all the previous ones. It lacks a common monetary standard, such as the one proposed in the 1975 Ail-Saints Manifesto. Such a standard is a necessary and a sufficient condition for a sustainable common monetary System.

ResumoA violência na sociedade e a sua representação artística têm sido desde sempre objecto de vibrantes debates. Na criação contemporânea, a violência continua a ser um dos mais insistentes refrãos temáticos motivando trabalhos que fazem confundir a realidade e a ficção, a violência e a sua representação. Este texto coloca em análise um corpus seleccionado de dramaturgia britânica de matriz realista do pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial, um período compreendido entre 1951, data de estreia da peça Saints’s Day, de John Whiting, e 1967, ano de estreia de Dingo, de Charles Wood. São textos reportados a uma geração de dramaturgos que ficaram conhecidos como Angry Young Men e por uma Segunda Vaga de dramaturgos dos anos sessenta que a, seu modo, respondem às profundas alterações na geometria política e social, motivadas, em grande medida, pela Segunda Guerra Mundial. Na análise a que procederei, estudo a maneira como cada obra configura as representações de violência, de acordo com a seguinte tipologia: violência sistémica; violência sobre o corpo; violência verbal; e violência de guerra. Considera-se assim, a representação da violência como um meio para resgatar o teatro da banalização a que muitas vezes é sujeito e, por outro lado, demonstra-se que o teatro se revela particularmente apto a mostrá-la e a conceder-lhe a gravidade necessária ao seu pleno entendimento. Do mesmo modo, revela-se a violência como um traço aglutinador e estruturante para a dramaturgia desse período e propõe-se uma aproximação a um paradigma realista que mostre ser operativo para uma interpelação a algum do teatro contemporâneo.AbstractViolence in society and its artistic portrayal have always been the subject of vigorous debates. In the contemporary arts, violence still predominates as a central theme, giving rise to works that blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, violence and its representation(s). This article analyses a selected corpus of British dramaturgy within the realist tradition, from 1951 to 1967. These are plays by the so-called Angry Young Men and by the Second Wave of playwrights in the sixties, responding ultimately to the profound transformations in political and social geometry caused by the Second World War. The plays are analysed in the light of the way that each work portrays violence accordingly to the following typologies: systemic violence, violence of the body, verbal violence and violence of war. On the one hand, violence is considered to be an efficient way to rescue theatre from the trivialisation it often suffers. On the other hand, theatre is in a particularly privileged position to show violence with all due seriousness. This study considers violence to be a fundamental feature of this period’s dramaturgy and it offers an approach to a realistic paradigm that can be used to address some works of the contemporary theatre.

The article’s aim is to present Bolesław Prus’s [Aleksander Głowacki’s] early literary endavours in the light of the reception of Hippolite Taine’s psychological studies at the turn of the sixties and seventies of the nineteenth century. The Author challenges the common conviction of the fact that Taine’s work has not been a strong point of reference for Prus before 1880 and shows how the strategies of gaining knowledge described by the French philosopher are reflected in the structure and peculiar fragments of Prus’s Warsaw sketches. The syncretism of those literary pieces, that join Prus’s column writing style with journalistic interventionism on the one hand and romantic musings of the literary wanderer, a figure at the core of the stories, on the other allows to show writer’s indecisiveness as a sign of positivistic doubt in approachableness of the nature of reality and of every singular experience.

Adrianus van Selms, part-time lecturer 1938-1962 Van Selms came to Pretoria in 1938 as a senior lecturer in Semitic Languages in the Faculty of Arts. At the same time he accepted an appointment in the Faculty of Theology as a part-time lecturer in the one-year course, Biblical Archaeology. Students thus enjoyed his inspiring academic influence for a considerable period of their sojourn at the University. In this article particular attention is given to Van Selms’s view of Holy Scripture and the way in which he integrated faith and knowledge. It is also shown that, from the sixties onward, ecumenical theology tends to become the most prominent feature in his theological work, with little attention left for salvation history, an important aspect in his earlier work. The esteem in which he is held by our Faculty is shown by the dedication of HTS 41/2 (May 1985) to him, and by the establishment of the Van Selms Reading Room in which a part of his valuable library is kept.

The ecology movement consists of several different sub-groups : traditional conservationists, environmental agitators, critical intellectuals and scientists as welt as the «back-to-nature» counter-culture and the Green parties. This article concentrates on one of the most interestingparts of the Flemish ecology movement : the «alternative life-style» movement Anders Gaan Leven and its Green party Agalev.The social position of the ecologists can be set with the help of the concepts «resistance» and «integration». On the one side, they seem to be the heir of the protest movements of the sixties. On the other side, they are part of a trend towards political demobilization.Politically, the Green parties draw their support from the « secundary elites » : people who are young, highly educated but who are not (yet) part of the establishment. The theories of Inglehart and Boy connect this sociat position with the politica! orientation of the ecologists.In the specific case of Flanders, the Green party Agalev seems to become the political alternative for progressive christians who have broken with the Catholic «pillar», hut who cannot recognize themselves in the other traditional parties.

AbstractIn this paper the role of cybernetic models and systems theory concepts in the analysis and construction of processes in the economic planning system of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is investigated within the frame of evaluation in which these concepts were discussed by some well known scientists in the GDR and the party-and state-leadership as well.The attempt is made to explain the changing attitude toward the importance of these sciences within the context of sozio-economic development in the GDR from the beginning of the sixties up to the seventies.On the one hand the possibilities are demonstrated which cybernetic models can provide for the analysis of socio-economic relations in terms of structure and function; i. e. in how far they can be helpful in the development of more efficient planning methods. On the other hand it is argued that these models should not be overestimated, especially, if they are not validated empirically. But they can definitely be used to make societal relationships more obvious and furthermore to analyse their mechanisms of power, control and communication.

This paper attempts to compare two different styles of argumentation, composed by Balinese at pivotal turning points of their religious identity. The first one, set in the 1920s, when Balinese intellectuals were starting to assess the foundations of their “Balineseness” (Kebalian), contrasts the argumentation of Bali Adnjana (1924-1930) with that of Surya Kanta (1925-1957), by focusing on the use of dialogue as rhetorical device by Tjakra Tanaja, the editor of Bali Adnjana. The second moment takes place in the 1960s, after the Balinese leaders had succeeded in having their religion officially recognized by the Indonesian Ministry of Religions, under the condition that it would no longer be exclusively theirs. It expounds the Upade?a Tentang Ajaran-Ajaran Agama Hindu, the Hindu catechism composed by the Parisada Hindu Dharma in 1967, once the dogmatic contents of the Agama Hindu – the Panca Çraddha – had been fully delineated in 1964. While the Upade?a is also presented in the form of a dialogue between the guru ??i Dharmak?rti and his ?i?ya Sang Suya?a, its argumentation differs strikingly from the one used in Bali Adnjana.

External Migration

This paper discusses some socio-geographical characteristics of contemporary labor migration from Serbia and Montenegro in Denmark, analyzed in terms of social life and social relations of migrants. At the beginning of the sixties, slow economic development of the country (former Yugoslavia), caused the decision of the Serbian and Montenegrin workers to go abroad. Among these countries, it was certainly and Denmark. Serbian and Montenegrin communities of migrants, although not many (about 8,000), is interesting for researchers, because in the middle of Denmark that is economically dependent, maintained their ethnic or social identity. Since the notion of a complex identity, it must be viewing within the more theoretical approach or framework. Therefore, there are two interpretations: one given by the respondents, and other researchers. In this study, on the one hand the most outstanding are moments in the life and character of the Serbian and Montenegrin man in the time immediately preceding the external migration to Denmark and on the other, new life and a different occupational mobility of respondents. Among the latter, include, for example, communication between Serbian and Montenegrin migrants with their homeland through: print media, broadcasting, internet. Important place in the identification of the Serbian and Montenegrin migrants are in the family, relatives, churches, associations and clubs, where they can develop their activities. Thus, forming a social network within the community and are wider environment.
