Book Publishing Patterns in Social Sciences and Humanities in Lithuania
The aim of this article is to reconstruct and analyse scholarly book (or monograph) publication patterns in Lithuanian Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) registered in national database “Lituanistika”. Database “Lituanistika” provides a good starting point and repository of empirical data as it indexes and abstracts different types of scholarly publications in SSH, monographs included. The empirical part of the research consists of finding regi…
Argumentum Ornithologicum
The article aims to examine the phenomenon of artistic research in the broader context of sciences and arts. For that purpose, Pierre Bourdieu's methodological principle 'exoticize the domestic' is used. This principle enables to change and alter the epistemic perspective suggesting that ordinary and everyday things should be investigated as if they were alien and strange. In place of theoretical arguments for and against artistic research, an av…
Beyond Administrative Criteria
The present article seeks to discern the criteria or the quality of research, formulated and accepted within the scholarly community of the humanities. We argue that the scholars implicitly use these criteria opposing administrative evaluation. The analysis of these criteria revealed that they might be summarized in three broad categories - the novelty (originality, innovativeness) of the research; the excellence of the researcher (ability to con…
Ancient narrative and modern promise
Editor’s Note:This essay, while focusing on contemporary Lithuania, raises issues that are of perennial import to the academic study of the humanities in modern nation states, particularly the ‘national’ disciplines of history, language, and literature. There is a constant tension between the scholar’s desire for the freedom of academic inquiry, and the desire of state, which often pays the scholar’s wages, that the scholar produce research that …
We Don't Harm the Environment
For the last decade, the humanities are globally pronounced as stranded in a crisis or at least touched by it. In the times of crisis the apologetic discourse is more important and visible than in the times of relative peace and prosperity. Comparing to the Anglo-Saxon humanities, the rhetoric of crisis is not very popular among the representatives of Lithuanian humanities. The article reconstructs the main arguments and defensive regimes used by…
Į rytus nuo saulės, į šiaurę nuo žemės
only abstract in English; full article and abstract in Lithuanian] This article discusses the relationship that occurs between a map and a narrative. As a mean of visualization, a map is used in varied contexts, where it is usually interpreted as a representation of a certain territory, both real and fictitious. The dependence on temporality and a multitude of possible layers (multifacetedness) reveal that no map can represent any single territor…
Klaipėdos garsovaizdis (II)
This article deals with urban soundscapes. A soundscape is a sonic environment and a multitude of sound sources that reach the human ear. By comparing different ways in which Klaipėda's soundscape is constructed, we seek to analyze the aural background of Klaipėda. The research is based on the methodological distinction between hearing and listening. The first is a passive reception of sound, while the latter is interpreted as an activity consist…
Klaipėdos garsovaizdis (I)
Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas miesto garsovaizdis. Garsovaizdis suvokiamas kaip garsinė aplinka bei daugybiniai garso šaltiniai, kurie pasiekia žmogaus ausį. Gretinant skirtingus Klaipėdos garsovaizdžio kūrimo būdus, siekiama rekonstruoti ir ištirti nūdienos Klaipėdos garsinį foną. Tyrimas grindžiamas metodologine skirtimi tarp girdėjimo ir klausymo, kai pirmasis suvokiamas kaip pasyvus garso priėmimas, o antrasis - aktyvus veiksmas, apimantis tiek ga…

Straipsnyje analizuojamas lietuviškų socialinių ir humanitarinių mokslų (SHM) vertinimo diskursas ir kaip konkuruojančios filosofinės mokslo sampratos – monizmas ir pliuralizmas – struktūruoja nacionalinį mokslo lauką. Mokslinės vertės atpažinimo ir identifikavimo klausimas aptariamas rekonstruojant svarbiausias 1994–2015 m. plėtoto diskurso apie SHM vertinimo kriterijus prielaidas bei pozicijas. Siekiama parodyti, kokias implikacijas akademi…

Filosofija. Sociologija XXI a
Straipsnyje nagrinėjama žurnalo Filosofija. Sociologija būklė XXI a. Tyrimas apsiriboja vien tik filosofine žurnalo dalimi, daugiausia dėmesio skiriant instituciniams pokyčiams per pastaruosius vienuolika metų. Į žurnalą siekiama pažvelgti iš (tariamai) nesuinteresuotos bei vertybiškai neutralios „Marso perspektyvos“, kuri gali nulemti gautų žinių objektyvumą. Sąmoningai nuspręsta neskaityti žurnale publikuotų straipsnių, todėltyrimo metu žiūrima…

Architektūrinės ir istorinės Klaipėdos vizijų konkurencija
Santrauka. Svarstant aktualius miesto planavimo ir įvaizdžio klausimus bene daugiausia kontroversijų kelia dabarties ir praeities architektūriniai objektai.

Nematomas miestas, arba Geriausio Klaipėdos kultūros gido paieškos
The aim of this article is to find the best guide to Klaipeda's culture. 'Guide' means an appropriate narrative, which constructs urban and cultural identity. The main questions are to be answered: How Klaipeda's culture changed from 1990 to 2010? What is the best representation of cultural transformations in post-soviet Klaipeda? What kinds of narratives are told on Klaipeda's culture? Who are their authors? What is their content? Are those narr…
Carlas Schmittas ir mokslo karų pateisinimas
From time to time in the fields of philosophy and sociology of science the political vocabulary is employed. Certain processes, which take place in science, are described using military notions such as 'conflict', 'war', 'revolution' etc. This article concentrates on question, whether the vocabulary and instruments of political theories could enable more adequate understanding of the scientific processes that are socially influenced? In order to …
Kodėl klystantis žmogus pranašesnis už techniką? Futbolo technofobų argumentai
The technophobic arguments against the use of high technologies in football are being analyzed in the article. Technophobia is understood as fear of new technologies, incredibility towards them and their demonizing. Technophobic arguments are reconstructed in order to provide them (if possible) rational, non-contradictory and integral form. Therefore, the technophobic arguments are linked with the theories analyzing the impact of technology upon …
