In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Williams portrays a family of Southern plantation owners, whose mutual mis-understandings and deceit become a metaphor for the fallen Southern ideals. This paper proposes to look at the images of physical and moral deficiencies, and how they embody the quickly declining relation-ships between the characters. It shows how, making use of such devices as speech patterns and dialogues pregnant with meaning and symbolism, Williams paints a world that, as one critic says, may be summed up in one single word: mendacity. The paper em-ploys a close reading of the original text and relies on the major general works about Williams' plays. In its final part, the paper makes a comparison between the now famous two versions of the final act, trying to see how catharsis is achieved in each. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to set forth some ways of handling cultural complexity, the present paper takes a multidisciplinary approach to exploring cross-cultural communication and the frameworks used for describing it. It is focused on the conceptualization of intercultural interaction competence and its manifestation in the field of applied linguistics, management studies, psy- chology or communication studies. Intercultural interaction refers to communication between members of different social groups emphasizing the similarities and differences in terms of language use and the dy- namic nature of behaviour. The paper demonstrates how applied linguistics, discourse analysis or other fields of study can provide intercultural interaction with helpful insights that are frequently overlooked.

The present paper aims at suggesting some ben-chmarks which could support the creation of some images of the fairytale world in the Romanian cultu-ral space in present day Vojvodina, with the help of some researchers. In this period, folk tales or cult ta-les have spread and have been received orally, based on the written media and modern communication media. The important factors that have contributed to the wide spread of tales among Romanians in Vojvodina were: families, education institutions and writers who have approached this genre. Tales, that are also called "fairy tales", are one of the sectors that help us preserve our cultural and mother tongue pa-trimony. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Different ethical issues in qualitative research for years have been the center of debate in the social sciences and humanities. In this paper we will problematize certain issues in qualitative research of minority religious communities in Serbia. Minority religious communities are taken as an example to discuss research ethics, primarily because of their often marginalized social status and isolation. Thus the research approach is very delicate and complex, encompassing a number of ethical dilemmas and decisions that need to be included in the research process. The author also stresses the idea that interdisciplinary approach can contribute to more "open" fieldwork on religious minority groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to show that the essentialist conception of natural necessity is doubtful, at least at an epistemological level, but this is mostly due to the understanding of natural necessity as a form of real necessity, a notion that remains difficult to account for even in a metaphysical framework that is different from the one assumed by Humeans. This research shows that a return to the Quinean view that the distinction between the a priori and the a posteriori should be one that admits degrees, as well as a reassessment of the objectivist doctrine of natural kinds (together with other general and traditional arguments and theses), are warranted. Combining empiricism and a strong necessitation position concerning natural laws is still a hard to achieve philosophical desideratum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a historical' overview of civil gatherings and demonstrations. In particular, we analyze the' religious element in the demonstration, which affects the motivation of many people in the past. The fact is that many demonstrations and still have a religious element, although this is not the main motive for the demonstration. I concluded on the basis of the analysis that the religious element influenced many movements in the past but that there pseudo religious element in secular demonstrations such as the Revolution and the October Revolution in Russia. It is also important to note that many factors affect the extreme notion that religion is misused for political purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper Complexes, Dilemmas and Illusions of the Romanian Literature discusses the three concepts - characteristics of the Romanian literature, which function as configurative terms of the critical image. They express, from different points of view and with different intensities a major tension between the critical discourse having as effect the afterimage of the Romanian literature and the Romanian literature itself with her successes, her syncope sang her fluctuations. The debate's starts pointing are in the anthropological, theoretical and historical-literary of the Eugen Negrici's book - Iluziile literaturii române (The Illusions of the Romanian Literature), Monica Spiridon's book - Les dilemmes de l'identité aux con fins de l'Europe (The identity's dilemmas in outer limits of Europe), and Mircea Martin's book G. Câlinescu şi, „complexele” literaturii române (G. Călinescu and the Romanian Literature's 'Complexes"); the general danger detected is the manipulation of the Romanian Literature by extraesthetic elements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
