APVV-17-0064 Analysis of the multidimensional form of trans- and post-humanism / Member of the research collective / Project time span: 2018 - 2022 / Project description: The main goal of the project is a multidimensional transdisciplinary research on the inter-dynamic relationships related to the issue of human gene editing and post-humanism in five research domains: biology-biotechnology, philosophical reflection, (bio)ethical reflection, biopolitical analysis and democratization of science, art and culture. Specifically, the project focuses on philosophical reflection on the concept of trans and posthumanism, with an emphasis on the editing of the human genome in the germ cell line in relation to human nature, genetic determinism, and the aesthetic transformation of the human body. The project analyzes the issue of the transformation of the human biological species H. sapiens in the context of the controversy between realist versus social-constructivist understandings of biological categorization. At the level of bioethical and biopolitical re-reflection, the project analyses the impact of trans- and posthumanist modification of the human genome on society, on its political institutions and regulatory capacities, on the process of democratisation of science and the phenomenon of biohacking. On the cultural and artistic level, the project focuses on the analysis of the artistic representation of trans- and posthumanism in anti-utopian literary, new media, film and television science fiction works. It also includes an analysis of the metaphorical language of molecular geneticists, most recently represented by the term 'gene editing'.

SSH Research Council of Canada 435-2017-0061 Islamophobia in the East of the European Union / člen riešiteľského kolektívu / Project description: A worrying degree of Islamophobia in the eastern, formerly communist‐ruled parts of the European Union has been reported in the scholarly press and especially in the media. The region has displayed consistent opposition by political parties and citizen groups to Muslim migrants, including refugees to the European Union, though few have settled there as opposed to western Europe. The target of our study are the so‐called "Visegrad Four" (V4) countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary) and eastern Germany. In the V4 countries, disagreement with EU directives on immigration has been voiced by the ruling parties and the government, employing rhetoric that sometimes resembles that of the far‐right fringe both in the East and the West. This opposition is threatening cohesion within the EU on its eastern flank, at a time when it is already damaged by the exit of Great Britain and the threat of exit by Greece. Thus Islamophobia in the region may have important consequences for the future of Europe. Studying Islamophobia in a region where daily experience with Muslims is rare provides an opportunity to reveal, more sharply than elsewhere, how anti‐Muslim prejudice may arise independently of local experience, masking local concerns by a racist and xenophobic rhetoric. Identifying those concerns is the main aim of the proposed study. / Termín: 2017 – 2022

APVV‐17‐0128 Komparácia jazykových stratégií pravicového populizmu (Nemecko ‐ Rakúsko ‐ Česko ‐ Slovensko): lexika – texty – diskurzy / člen riešiteľského kolektívu / Doba trvania projektu: 2018 – 2021 / Anotácia: Projekt sa venuje porovnávaniu jazykových špecifík a jazykových stratégií pravicových populistov na Slovensku, v Česku, Rakúsku a Nemecku. S týmto cieľom budú v úvodnej fáze projektu vytvorené korpusy s reprezentatívnym textovým materiálom. Na základe zozbieraného materiálu sa v nasledujúcom kroku identifikuje typická lexika. Vychádzajúc z analýzy textov a charakteristických diskurzov budú následne bližšie skúmané tematické a argumentačné stratégie pravicovo-populistických výrokov a prejavov. Dané výskumné kroky budú realizované najprv diferencovane pre jednotlivé skúmané krajiny a zistené výsledky budú následne porovnávané, čo umožní špecifikovať podobnosti a rozdiely medzi jazykovými stratégiami pravicových populistov v uvedených štyroch krajinách. Vďaka interdisciplinárnemu prístupu budú výsledky analýzy jazykových špecifík interpretované v širšom kontexte nielen politických a kultúrnych interakcií, ale aj psycho-sociálnych motívov a vzťahov. Z pedagogicko‐didaktického hľadiska budú výsledky výskumu vyhodnocované vzhľadom na ich ďalšiu využiteľnosť a možnosť transferu do oblasti výchovy a vzdelávania. Vďaka komplexnému zameraniu projektu majú výsledky výskumu prispieť k rozvoju kompetencie identifikovať a dekonštruovať jazykové stratégie pravicového populizmu

Brief description of the project:

The project is interdisciplinary in nature, responding to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the natural, health, social, humanities and economic sciences. It integrates the knowledge and skills of the creative staff of UCM Trnava and provides answers to two major problems: increasing the capacity of infrastructure and human resources for real-time diagnostics and medical assistance and addressing the serious social problems due to the isolation of individuals of the population.
