We are delighted to have you here. Be it as readers, authors, resear- chers, students, supporters, conference participants. As Editors of this special issue of Poligrafi, we are addressing these opening lines to you as a welcoming gesture, in hope to create a hospitable threshold which would be inviting enough for you to enter with curiosity, expectation and trust. With this intention in mind, we would like to provide you with an introductory overview of the nature and specificity of the selection of papers that constitute the present volume. The common denominator of these contributions is their meeting point, that is the International Conference titled “borders/debordering” − Towards a New World Culture of Hospitality. The Conference took place in Gozd Martuljek, Slovenia, between June 30th and July 3rd 2016, and was organised by the Institu- te of Philosophical Studies (Science and Research Centre, University of Primorska, Slovenia) and the Global Center for Advanced Studi- es (USA). Surrounded by an inspiring pristine nature, a number of scholars and researchers from a variety of research and scientific fields such as philosophy, religion, ethics, sociology, cultural studies, gender studies, political economy and political geography, joined together on a common topic, discussing borders, their (im)possible debordering, and the hospitality that might (or might not) emerge from it. Covering the questions about national and geographical borders and transnati- onal debordered spaces and places, rediscovering social and economic borders and debordering of gender and race issues, re-questioning the borders between “the animal” and “the human,” discussing the role of the body in intersubjective situations, accounting for the options of de- bordering of the traditional dichotomies, sharing many different, and numerous stories about migration – all these allowed us to hold an im- pressive and wide debate on the issues at stake, confirming that there is much more to be done in future research. 3 POLIGRAFI The present issue of Poligrafi represents only a part of the proceedin- gs of the conference, another volume with contributions on borders, debordering and the culture of hospitality will be published later in 2017. Therefore, when reading the articles in this collection one should keep in mind that these are not all of the core topics of the conference, but rather a specific selection of writings that show us the possibilities of contemplating on borders, their debordering and different angles of view on hospitality, and hospitalities. Here, we find contributions on phenomenology, politics, law, migration, identity and nationality, history, mysticism, gender studies and feminism, pharmaceutical and medical issues, questions about language and accounts of literature. The variety of research fields might leave an impression of disconnectedness, but they all account for a specific liminality, a specific question that might be debordered by repositioning it in another possible way. Also, some of the papers do not strictly follow the traditional guidelines of scientific writing, but this fact does not diminish their importance, on the contrary – maybe it is about time that we try to deborder the limits of science itself and see what new thresholds we might discover. This is one of the possible forms of hospitality that our volume tries to elabo- rate on. * We open the journey of hospitality contemplation with a phenome- nological account provided by the philosopher Janko Lozar in the paper “Debordering the Borders of Time: Towards the Primordiality of Ho- spitality,” where the author takes us on a path of a better understanding of the possibility of a radical open being with the other through the analysis of the notion of time, devoting a special attention to its futural aspect, the “notyetness,” as he calls it. The author presents his point of view with the help of several important philosophers and their theories, such as Derrida’s phenomenology of the gift and its temporal objectifi- cation that destroys the gift itself, Husserl’s analysis of the nature of the “now”, Heidegger’s thesis on understanding of being only through and in time, or better, being being time, connecting it to Scheler’s ethics and Kant’s aesthetics and their view of affectivity. Lozar claims that the pos- 4 WELCOME sibility of hospitality lays in the thinking of “notyetness, as pure futurity without the past, and beyond the future to be expected.” He explains his position particularly with the analysis of Husserl’s debordering of time, where the now is understood as a temporal field, not a point, re- collection / past and expectation / future are its intrinsic elements, and therefore, as Lozar puts it, one’s sentiment is always under influence of resentment and disappointed expectation. This is why he sees the pos- sibility of hospitality mainly in the existential futural mode of being as primordial openness, with no expectation, no recollection. The author understands it as conviviality (he also names it joviality) that allows for a hospitable embracing of the other in their “notyetness.” An account of hospitable embracement of others is provided by Lana Pavić in her paper “Hospitality as a Virtue of the Place,” in whi- ch she introduces us to the case study of Slavonski Brod, a Croatian town on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, where an acceptance centre for refugees on the so called “Western Balkan Route” was allo- cated. With this case study she exposes the political implications of

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

  • Is 'Exonym' an Appropriate Term for Names of Features Beyond Any Sovereignty?
    UNITED NATIONS WORKING PAPER GROUP OF EXPERTS NO. 65 ON GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES Twenty-sixth session Vienna, 2-6 May 2011 Item 14 of the provisional agenda Activities relating to the Working Group on Exonyms Is 'exonym' an appropriate term for names of features beyond any sovereignty? Submitted by Austria∗ ∗ Prepared by Peter Jordan (Austria), Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Urban and Regional Research, and Austrian Board on Geographical Names Abstract This papers deals with the question, whether the term exonym covers also features beyond any sovereignty such as international waters. It discusses first Naftali KADMON’s view (expressed in E/CONF.98/ 6/Add.1 presented at the Ninth United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names, New York, 21 - 30 August 2007), who argues that maritime names in a certain language were endonyms in these parts of a sea, over which a country in which this language is official or well-established exerts some kind of jurisdiction, i.e. its territorial waters. Names in languages not corresponding to the requirements of being official or well-established in this country will be termed exonyms. For KADMON it “follows that there is a need for a new term to be added to the Glossary of Terms for the Standardization of Geographical Names, namely the status of a toponym for a maritime feature in international waters.” th The paper then refers then to Paul WOODMAN’s view (expressed a.o. in WP 1, 25 UNGEGN Session Nairobi 2009) that one name in one language for one feature cannot change in terminological status, cannot simultaneously be an endonym and an exonym, which means that all languages official or well-established in the coastal countries of a sea are endonyms all over the feature.

  • Designing Names: Requisite Identity Labour for Migrants’ Be(Long)Ing in Ontario
    Designing Names: Requisite Identity Labour for Migrants’ Be(long)ing in Ontario by Diane Yvonne Dechief A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Diane Yvonne Dechief 2015 Designing Names: Migrants’ Identity Labour for Be(long)ing in Ontario Diane Yvonne Dechief Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation responds to the question of why people who immigrate to Ontario, Canada frequently choose to use their personal names in altered forms. Between May and December 2010, I engaged in semi-structured interviews with twenty-three people who, while living in Ontario, experienced name challenges ranging from persistent, repetitive misspellings and mispronunciations of their original names to cases of significant name alterations on residency documents, and even to situations of exclusion and discrimination. Drawing on critical perspectives from literature on identity and performativity, science and technology studies, race and immigration, affect, and onomastics (the study of names), I establish that name challenges are a form of “identity labour” required of many people who immigrate to Ontario. I also describe how individuals’ identity labour changes over time. In response to name challenges, and the need to balance between their sometimes-simultaneous audiences, participants design their names for life in Ontario—by deciding which audiences to privilege, they choose where they want to belong, and how their names should be. ii Acknowledgments Thank you very, very much to this study’s participants. You were so generous with your stories, and you articulated your thoughts and your concerns in such novel and passionate ways.

    United Nations S/2017/1008 Security Council Distr.: General 28 November 2017 Original: English Strategic review of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 2369 (2017), in which the Council requested a strategic review of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) focused on findings and recommendations for how UNFICYP should be optimally configured to implement its existing mandate, based exclusively on a rigorous evidence-based assessment of the impact of UNFICYP activities. 2. In line with the request of the Security Council, the review focused on an assessment of the key functions, tasks, and activities of UNFICYP, and their respective impact. At the same time, the review assessed the Force’s existing capacity and capabilities in an effort to ensure that it would be optimally configured to fulfil its mandated tasks. II. Methodology 3. The strategic review was led by an external expert, Wolfgang Weisbrod-Weber, former Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Western Sahara. Mr. Weisbrod-Weber was supported by a review team consisting of representatives from the Departments of Peacekeeping Operations, Field Support, Political Affairs and Safety and Security of the Secretariat, as well as staff of UNFICYP. 4. The UNFICYP review process was conducted in three stages. First, consultations were undertaken, at both Headquarters and UNFICYP, with relevant stakeholders, including representatives of the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities and of the Member States concerned, on the proposed objectives, methodology and timeline of the strategic review.

  • *THE ENDONYM/EXONYM DIVIDE1 from a CULTURAL-GEOGRAPHICAL PERSPECTIVE Peter JORDAN the Paper Presents a View on Place Names From
    ISSN 2227-5525. Мова і суспільство. 2019. Випуск 10. С. 5–21 Language and society. 2019. Issue 10. Р. 5–21 UDC 81’27:316.3 *THE ENDONYM/EXONYM DIVIDE1 FROM A CULTURAL-GEOGRAPHICAL PERSPECTIVE Peter JORDAN Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Urban and Regional Research University of the Free State (South Africa), Faculty of the Humanities A-1180 Wien, Lacknergasse 73/2/6 [email protected] The paper presents a view on place names from a cultural-geographical perspective by the example of the endonym/exonym divide, which is conceived as very indicative for the role of place names in a cultural-geographical context. 1. Older discourses about exonyms The term “exonym” was introduced by the Australian toponymist Marcel Arousseau (1957). Only later did the Austrian Slavist Otto Kronsteiner (1974) confront it with the term “endonym”. This temporal order may be related to the fact that the exonym is the rare, striking phenomenon, while each named geographical feature has an endonym, the endonym thus being the ‘normal case’. In particular, the linguist Otto Back contributed with his 1983 first published and later twofold revised work “Übersetzbare Eigennamen” (‘Translatable Proper Names’) signifi- cantly to the knowledge of the nature of exonyms (and endonyms) (Back 2002). He regards exonyms as geographical names that differ from the language in the area of the feature they designate, thus assigning the language the essential role in the distinction between endonym and exonym. As an essential societal function of exonyms, he mentions the inclusion of the alien into the own cultural sphere of a linguistic community.

In the last quarter of a century, instead of these names, a new common designation has been established in the region’s public discourse, based on their self-appellation “Roma”. The processes of labelling and imposition of the new name on these communities did not stop in this region, and the label “Roma” is increasingly spreading in the remaining parts of Europe and even beyond. This process of imposing “from above” of a “politically correct” labelling, however, has led to, for some perhaps unexpectedly, to others predictably, an impact on the field. Some local communities labelled today “Roma” started to demonstrate publicly their reluctance to comply with the designation imposed on them from the “outside”. The proposed article will reveal the historical sources of labelling of these communities and main dimensions of these contradictory processes.
