The text is an introduction to a series of seven studies and essays dealing with the use of the term indián/Indián (Indian) in the Czech language as well as in the Anglo-Saxon and Latin American contexts. The editorial first briefly introduces the main problems of the use of the term indián/Indián and related terms both in the domestic and in the Anglo-Saxon and Latin American contexts. It then presents the problems of the grammatical use of the word indián/Indián in the Czech language. It also sums up the discussion related to the use of the term indio in the Anglo-Saxon and Ibero-American environment. Furthermore, it discusses the meaning and genesis of the term indio in the Spanish language and the environment of the former Spanish overseas colonies. The issue of the use of the term indio/indígena in contemporary discourse, academic in particular, is also examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Populizem je globalni fenomen, zaznan tudi v slovenskem prostoru, ki pod pretvezo, da družbi zagotavlja demokracijo, ravno to omejuje. Temelji na ločevanju družbe na ljudstvo in elite, desni populisti pa izključujejo še tujega drugega. Opisano diskurzivno strategijo akterji udejanjajo različno, v odvisnosti od regionalnih značilnosti okolja vznika posameznega populizma. To dokazujem z analitičnim pregledom glavnih konceptov populizma in njegovih pojavitev na Vzhodu ter Zahodu in z rezultati kritične diskurzivne analize 24 izbranih člankov spletnega portala Nova24TV. Ugotavljam, da je slovenski desni populizem regijsko specifičen in zgodovinsko uokvirjen. S tremi dimenzijami ločevanja družbe – nacionalizma, komunizma in kulture – populizem odraža slovensko socialistično dediščino ter proces njenega osamosvajanja.

Self-paced reading has been a widely used experimental method for study of the processing of sentences and texts. In this paper, we introduce the method to the Czech audience. We summarize its advantages and limitations and provide practical suggestions on stimuli construction and data processing. We also present different variants of the method, we discuss its ecological validity, and we summarize the experimental evidence showing that reaction times collected in self-paced reading can be linked to processing demands people might experience during reading. Finally, we present three examples of the application of the method: an experiment on agreement attraction in Czech, an experiment on garden-path sentences in Czech and an experiment studying the processing of short discourses in English. We also briefly discuss new trends that connect corpus linguistics with psycholinguistic discourse processing research and lead to the development of reading-time corpora. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The presented study aims to analyze and then briefly present the conceptualization of images of oneself and the others in the historical-social novel of Johannes Bobrowski Levinov mlyn, taking into account focalization as one of the possible strategies to destabilize national clichés and stereotypes. The fundamental terminological and methodological basis of this study is represented by the theory of imagology in the understanding of its leading representatives J. Leerssen and M. Beller, which we enrich and expand for narratological concepts by M. Bal for a more thorough and accurate analysis of images as a narrative constructs, while the main concept for our analyses is that of focalization, as the manipulation of the here and now of the reader, formulated by F. Stanzel. The mutation of these two theories (imagological and narratological) should point out the importance and necessity of taking into account not only hermeneutic but narratological analyzes in imagological research as well, which in our opinion are immanent features of every image as a phenomenon that are closely connected with the text especially through the mentioned narrative structures, while the focalization and focalizator as a medium of evaluation and co-conceptualization of those images can tell us a lot not only about their functioning within the narrative text itself (narrative), but also, albeit only partially, about reception and perception by the reader.

Creating and maintaining an imaginary bond between the journalist and readers is a communicational strategy of the written sports news discourse. Since news discourse is monologal, it has specific communicational constraints that it seeks to overcome, and the lack of direct contact between the authors and their readers is a key hurdle to cross. Additionally, sport has a notable cohesive function, and as such produces a sense of a sports community even when taken as a news subject. The imaginary bond is therefore a strategy for overcoming the discursive gap between the journalist and their readers, while at the same time reinforcing the impression of community that the subject of sports draws on. In the sports news discourse this strategy is translated through different linguistic means, such as conversational elements. Based on selected articles from the French written sports news, a qualitative analysis of texts enabled us to observe the linguistic means through which the imitation of conversation contributes to the discursive strategy of bonding. The analysis is focused on informal and interactive conversational features. It shows that such conversationalization is particularly apparent in the informal character of the discourse on the lexical and discursive levels. This adds to the seeming informality of the communicational situation, and therefore to the readers' sense of an imaginary sports community. On the syntactic level this is reinforced by interactional elements such as rhetorical questions and other interrogatives that address the reader as an interlocutor and echo the dynamics of a dialogue. Both conversational aspects, as used in the French sports news discourse, contribute to a sense of informal atmosphere and community bond among sports enthusiasts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The presented research study deals with the mapping of discourses on schizophrenia in the Czech environment. The research conducted semi-structured interviews on schizophrenia with lay people, people with diagnosis and experts (N = 15). Those transcribed interviews were subsequently analyzed by one of the discoursive analysis approach – critical discursive psychology. Overall, 13 different interpretative repertoires used by respondents for the construction of schizophrenia and schizophrenic people were identified. Positions that could be hold thanks to these repertoires and consequences of these repertoires were also described. Respondents used a larger number of often conflicting repertoires. Results were confronted with relevant studies in discussion. Further, limits of this study were described as well as suggestions of possible follow-up research and practical application.

The article deals with the problem of representation of an author Karel Klostermann (1848–1923) and his novels in Czech literary-historical handbooks, editorial prefaces, and encyclopedias. The article exposes the way in which Czech literary historiography works with the myth of Karel Klostermann as a documentarist of the ‘old Bohemian Forest’ (Šumava in Czech). An analysis of the above three distinct text types reveals that Klostermannʼs central topic — an unprecedented windstorm that had terminated the ‘original Bohemian Forest’ — is mostly seen not as a motive but as the fact (as well as in the recent discourse on Bohemian Forest National Park). However, the concepts of ‘monumental and naturally stable forest’ or ‘sudden epochal break’ were paradoxically known only from the novels of Karel Klostermann, who worked with them inconsistently. The article shows that Czech literary historiography does not deal with Klostermann’s fiction critically but rather replicates common stereotypes and dominant narrative about the past of the Bohemian Forest.

Pričujoče besedilo je povzemanje in analiza javne razprave, do katere je prišlo po sprejetju 41. sklepa Senata Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani z dne 25. aprila 2018 o novi spolni dikciji v fakultetnih pravilnikih in ki je nato ob zanimanju medijev potekala več mesecev, vrhunec pa dosegla pred približno enim letom, 23. oktobra 2018, na Okrogli mizi Jezik in spol na Filozofski fakulteti UL. Obenem je ob ponovnem vrednotenju izraženih stališč z nekoliko časovne distance prispevek poskus nadaljevanja razprave o spolnih kategorijah in ospoljenih identitetah ter androcentričnosti v jeziku. Poleg osvetlitve teoretskega ozadja, ki je (ali bi moralo biti) gonilo razprave, smo opravili tudi preprosto statistično analizo odzivov glede na zastopanost v medijih in zastopanost po spolu. V kvalitativnem delu analize nas je zanimalo predvsem, katere strokovne in ideološke (navidezne) opozicije so napajale posamezne retorike in diskurze, ki so obarvali razpravo.

Članek se osredotoča na dvoimenske priredne zveze z veznikom in, kjer se pojavljata samostalnika ženskega in moškega spola, ki označujeta osebe. V članku poskušamo osvetliti kompleksnost dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na besedni red v omenjenih zvezah.

Besedilo odgovarja na vprašanje, kako je o prebegih iz Jugoslavije v letih 1945–1965 pisalo slovensko časopisje. V obravnavanem obdobju je bilo izseljevanje iz SFRJ omejeno in nadzorovano, prebegi sankcionirani in mediji instrumentalizirani kot ideološki aparat oblasti. Prebegi niso bili tema, ki bi se je časopisje prav pogosto lotevalo. Kadar pa jih vendarle postavilo na časopisni papir, jih je kriminaliziralo in moralno obsojalo. Če je glas »prepustilo« tudi prebežnikom samim, je bil to glas obžalovanja in kesanja, s sporočilom, da odhod v tujino prinaša trpljenje, gorje ali celo pogubo.

Forma vědění v současném postmoderním světě prochází rapidní transformací. Tuto proměnlivost můžeme pozorovat i ve snaze ono vědění zachycovat, analyzovat a dále teoretizovat. Symbolický zápas s věrnou korespondencí sociální reality sehrává věda s argumentací prezentující skepsi k pojímání pravdy jako stabilní autority. Data nejsou kulturně a hodnotově neutrální, což je podporováno jejich distribuováním skrze jazyk. Rozumění a výklad kontextu by tak spíše měly být mechanismem zaměřujícím se na jazykovou/vizuální komunikaci, která ve své latentní i transparentní formě produkuje, sdílí a konceptualizuje významy, udává role a pozice ve světě. Ohnisko zájmu vědeckého poznání se v naší optice přesouvá ke zkoumání konstrukcí, utváření významů a re-prezentací zkušenosti. Cílem předkládaného příspěvku je představit možnosti diskurzivní analýzy. Ta představuje teoreticko-výzkumný přístup, který je schopen uplatňovat kritickou reflexi zaostřenou na jednání a praktiky určitého diskurzu a bytí v něm. Vedle jazykových konstrukcí se zaměřujeme i na vizualizaci diskurzu a možnosti vizuální metodologie. Konkrétněji pak na využití fotografie jako nástroje sociální komunikace ve výzkumném procesu. Meritum kombinace obou přístupů leží v možnosti poznávat vztahy mezi vizuální a slovní reprezentací sociální (edukační) reality. Text si tak neklade za cíl prezentovat výsledky realizovaného výzkumu, ale spíše obrací pozornost k metodologickým přístupům jako takovým.

Postokolonijalno čitanje Nazorove pripovijesti Veli Jože otkriva mjesta u tekstu u kojima se mogu iščitati elementi produkcije i reprodukcije, prezentacije i reprezentacije kolonijalnoga diskurza i rekonstitucija kolonijalnoga subjekta nasuprot dosadašnjim dominantnim interpretacijama teksta kao priče o narodnoj borbi, borbi protiv eksploatatora i o potrebi narodne sloge. Ta mjesta pozivaju na razradu i interpretaciju alatima postkolonijalne kritike pri čemu se pokazuje kako je Nazorova ambivalencija zapravo imanentan element postupku ispisivanja nacije. U tome smislu nakon provedene analize u radu se dolazi do zaključka kako je Veli Jože s pravom kanoniziran tekst koji proizvodi i oslanja se na snažne nacionalne predodžbe kroz koji se može na različitim razinama progovarati o moderni, neoromantizmu, mitologiji ili usmenoj književnosti. Međutim, istodobno ukazuje i na ambivalentnost, dvojakost, hibridnost, dijalogičnost i polilogičnost u procesima ispisivanja nacije. Zato se čini uputnim upravo tim kvalitetama teksta pristupati i postavljati ih u prvi plan radije nego Velog Jožu, a potom i Nazora i njegov opus, podvoditi kroz ideološki redukcionizam ili različita upisivanja ili prisvajanja značenja.

The paper deals with the dispute about management of the Šumava National Park. The paper characterizes the discourse on the Šumava National Park on the basis of two interviews with the representatives of the contradictory positions. It analyzes the central topics, topoi and concepts by applying the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA). The paper focuses on the way how both interviewees construct their opponent, how they construct the attribute “human” and in which contexts they use pronouns “we” and “they”. The paper reveals that the way of displaying the past is crucial for the identification of both dominant narratives. The basic interdiscursive relations in which the discourse on the Šumava National Park is involved are also outlined.

Proceeding from the notions of the social imaginary and the fictive in literature, the paper defines ideological interpellation as a possible function of works of art. Similarities in creating meaning by double referencing are highlighted, both in literature and music. Extra-musical elements seem to be necessary to establish a narrative and to trigger an ideological interpellation. With regards to this claim, the paper examines the ideological discourse of the »douceur du foyer« in the genre of opera. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent trends in China's domestic tourism development offer possibilities for the democratisation of the ways that places and people are represented and understood. This study offers a timely intervention for understanding the change in China's ideologically charged tourism representations as affected by the growth of domestic travel. The central topics are the creation and production of places of tourism in two ethnic minority rural villages. The analysis on the promotional outputs of both villages across various media defines tourism as a discourse of difference and indicates that tourism is utilised by the Chinese government as an ideological tool to locate and define minority ethnicity. The study aims to determine how China's ethnic places are produced and their effect on the social and institutional relations in a contemporary nation that is stratified upon rural and ethnic binaries of difference.

Text vychází z teoretického předpokladu, podle nehož je zásadním východiskem každé sociálněvědné analýzy rasismu to, že při snaze o pochopení fenoménu "rasy" začíná zkoumáním jazyka, forem vědění, interpretací a praktických konsekvencí, které z těchto interpretací vyplývají. Každé vědění o "rase" je propojeno s praktikami moci, které konstituují hierarchické řády klasifikace subjektů a objektů. Rasistická ideologie takto vytváří své subjekty a objekty, tj. skupinu rasistů a skupinu stigmatizovaných. V souvislosti s reprezentací rasově definovaných Druhých a jejich sociálních identit v tomto textu představujeme tělo jako diskursivní objekt, do kterého jsou prostřednictvím ideje rasy umísťovány symbolické hranice nečistoty, nenávisti, ale i zdraví či touhy. Diskurzivní řád "rasy" není vedlejším produktem, nýbrž jedním z významných kulturních forem modernity. Při konstituci národního státu, jeho zdravé, plodící, rozmnožující se populace umožnila ideologie rasismu pojmout a ospravedlnit jak koloniální boje navenek, tak normalizační boje uvnitř národa.
