The impact of violence in Colombia, experienced throughout the twentieth century, and exalted in the intensity of the armed conflict imposed on society and privacy since the sixties and mid-second decades of the twenty-first, have been expressed in different ways by some Colombian creators. This document seeks to draw attention to some literary representations of the subject and the poetic effects offered by its authors, by expressing awareness of the pain that the war has caused. Aware of the devastating repercussions of the homicides, kidnappings and displaced persons that the violence has generated, the authors assume their creative role pointing out the horror and, in the case of the authors, the emphasis on some of a belligerent attitude, deep desolation and skepticism. The styles are varied and particular, as some reflect the trembling caused by anguish and restlessness, others express anguish with a furious or fearful tone, and others a hopeless feeling in the face of a shattered universe. They are generally voices that express individual and collective pain.

The purpose of this paper is to show how the thought and speech of people holding and defending directly opposite positions affect the change in the thought and speech of people of their own and subsequent generations, with different life orientations, and to find ways of this influence. The author describes the situation that arose at the end of the sixties of the twentieth century, known as the ideological dispersal of philosophical, historical and sociological trends that ran counter to the policy of the CPSU, which became especially fierce in the fight against opponents after the USSR’s invasion of Czechoslovakia in August, 1968. One of the results of such an ideological battle was the defeat of the sector of the methodology of history of the Institute of General History of the USSR Academy of Sciences, headed by M. Ya. Gefter, who published a series of books in which the so-called laws of historical development (formational approach) were questioned and the fundamental provisions of the classics of Marxism-Leninism were criticized. The subject of analysis is Gefter’s article “A Page from the History of Marxism in the Early 20th Century”, published in the book “Historical Science and Some Problems of the Modernity”, dedicated to the analysis of Lenin’s tactics and strategy development which changed the views of many, especially young, historians on the historical process, and most importantly - on the methods of seeking and expressing the truth. The differences were expressed primarily in the fact that the proponents and defenders of the Soviet regime, which was based on their own established norms of Marxism-Leninism, fearlessly used all means of pressure on unwanted opponents. Professionals, however, who tried to understand the true sense of the historical process, the sense of judgments about it, especially the sense of the revolutionary struggle against the autocracy, unfolding at the beginning of the twentieth century, were forced to use the Aesopian language, which also provoked a distortion of this sense in many ways: due to the nebulous and veiled expressions, which give the impression of theoretical blackmail, causing such consequences as speech irresponsibility.

This essay collects the first results of a reflection launched in the context of the Conference "The Arts of the 1900s and Carmelo Bene" curated by Edoardo Fadini and based in Turin, at the Gallery of Modern Art, between 24 and 26 October 2002. The intent is to focus on how in the first phase of the interdisciplinary practice of Carmelo Bene, between the Sixties and the Seventies, an aesthetic reflection and a deconstructive attitude emerge that involve questions (such as the subject, subjectivity and singular / plural dimension of art) that were being defined in the philosophical field and in the extended field of art during the second half of the twentieth century.

The problems linked to oil profits have been the subject of numerous studies. Few of these studies, however, have dealt with the specific problem of the impact of oil price shocks and return shocks on foreign investments in revenue-generating countries. This paper seeks to analyze the case of Nigeria which has been and still is a key country for the international oligopolies, thanks to the sheer size of its market and its oil wealth. In the face of Africa 's current decline Nigeria is, with South Africa, a potential keystone state that could in time bind together other states into a regional bloc with good prospects for growth. This possible unifying role, however, seems to depend on foreign investment picking up. It is therefore essential to understand better the extent to which foreign investment was spurred from 1973 onwards by the oil boom and what the consequences were of the crisis that began in 1982.


The article is devoted to theoretical problems of the interaction of arts and the term "intermedialism", which has certain amorphous features. The causes of attention to intermedial aspects of culture in the last decade are explained. In particular, it is a question of weakening of the cognitive function of literature and, accordingly, enhancing its aesthetic component and the development of hybrid genres. The study of intermedial aspects actualizes the study of literature in general. In the literary dictionary the term "intermedialism" was first introduced by Oge A. Hansen-Leo in 1983. The structure of this concept, the word-building aspect are analyzed. In modern mediology the phenomenon of art is considered at the level of other semiotic entities, so the work of art is a media, mediator, ingot of information and a quiz. The positions of M. Maklyueen and L. Elström are given. The terms "interaction of arts", "synthesis of arts", "interpenetration of arts" have exhausted their lexical potential, faced with the specifics of new types of creativity (for example, net art, street art), although they are still actively used in art studies studios. The correlation between the concepts of "intermedialism" and "intertextuality" is outlined. The definitions of "intermedialism", interpretation of the interaction of art by Y. Lotman, Y. Kristeva, A. Hansen-Löve, N. Tishunina, V. Prozalova and other researchers are given. The definition of V. Prozalova is considered to be the most adequate (intermedialism – “is a way of correlating artistic phenomena, the presence in artistic works of elements transposed from other forms of art"). Attention to the fact that "intermedialism" is also a methodology of literary analysis is drawn. The example of the new Ukrainian literature shows the extremes of the index of intermedialism: the works of T. Shevchenko, the end of the XIX – early of the XX century, 20-30 years of the twentieth century, the epoch of the sixties, the era of postmodernism. The reasons for the writers’ appeal to other types of art are explained: the universalism of the artistic thinking of T. Shevchenko, the image of the Subject in modernism, the rapid development of arts in Ukraine after the revolution of 1917 and others. It is concluded that in the modern era the term "intermedialism" is relevant because the person of the XXI century is influenced by many media, is intermedial in the broadest sense of the word.

Resumo: Este artigo se propõe a analisar a experiência da temporalidade nos dias atuais, a partir do impacto da urgência contemporânea que ocorre, principalmente, por meio dos imperativos de desempenho. Com isso, busca- se pontuar a maneira pela qual tal problemática reverbera no sujeito, hoje, e explora-se a importância de não atrelar o tempo do sujeito ao sistema de produção vigente. Inicialmente, serão discutidos os imperativos de produtividade e o consumismo para, assim, elaborar a concepção do tempo para a psicanálise, desenvolvendo o modo pelo qual ela concebe a temporalidade em seus diferentes aspectos, tais como a atemporalidade do inconsciente, o tempo próprio da pulsão e o tempo lógico. Com esse percurso, a relevância da experiência analítica hoje será investigada; questiona-se a possibilidade de adoecimento do sujeito diante desse tempo experienciado como pura pressa. Palavras-chave: Psicanálise. Temporalidade. Urgência.Abstract : This article proposes to analyze the experience of temporality nowadays from the impact of contemporary urgency, which occurs, mainly, from the imperatives of performance. With this, it seeks to point out the way in which this problem reverberates in the subject today, and explores the importance of not linking the subject's time to the current production system. Initially, the imperatives of productivity and consumerism will be discussed in order to elaborate the conception of time for psychoanalysis, developing the way in which it conceives temporality in its different aspects, such as the timelessness of the unconscious, the proper time of the drive and the logical time. With this path, the relevance of analytical experience today will be investigated, and the possibility of illness of the subject in the face of this time experienced as a pure haste is questioned. Keywords: Psychoanalysis. Temporality. Urgency.

Through the portrayal of never-ending march of a caravan of internally displaced persons (IDPs), the novel Tierra quemada (2013) by the Colombian author Óscar Collazos explores the interrelation between different forms of violence and their devastating impact on the peripheric outposts of Colombia. This article proposes an allegorical reading of the novel by examining how it represents the difficulty to break the cycle of violence and the impact of a low-intensity conflict on the IDPs, without presenting a voyeuristic perspective of the violence nor a Manichean vision of the armed conflict.

From the late thirties to the mid-sixties of the twentieth century, Tel Aviv was the seat of dozens of Hasidic courts creating Hasidic precincts in the southern and central parts of the city. The article explores the reason for the Hasidic leaders’ choice to settle in the city with their followers and offers a glimpse of their courts. Hasidic communities distributed throughout the city filled the streets of Tel Aviv with a Hasidic atmosphere. Daily life brought different segments of the population into frequent contact, and generated a unique inter-sectoral mosaic, primarily around special calendar occasions. In the early sixties, the Haredi community in Bnei Brak began to expand and establish educational institutions for the Litvishe and Hasidic communities. As a result, Haredi and Hasidic families slowly moved away from Tel Aviv to Bnei Brak. This trend led, inter alia, to the transfer of several Hasidic courts to Bnei Brak and Jerusalem during the sixties and seventies. The article concludes with a discussion of the diverse reasons for the departure of the Hasidic courts from Tel Aviv and addresses the impact of various processes on Haredi society in the course of the second half of the twentieth century.
