The monograph analyses two areas of creative communication – visual and intercultural. The relevance of the work is evidenced by the visualizations of life and intensifying intercultural contacts in the epoch. Modern culture is the culture of image – mottled, twinkling, fast-changing and more and more intense images in public spaces of the city and in various spheres of the person’s life. The visualization of modern culture did not escape the attention of the researchers – history specialists, cultural theoreticians, philosophers, communication specialists more often choose not traditional texts as the object of the research, but the images. On the other hand, in the age of globalization, various cultures mix and interact more intensely. Perceiving that the processes of globalization and intense intercultural correlation will neither be stopped nor slowed, the academic researchers suppose to pay more and more attention to the topicality of intercultural correlations and intercultural communication. In this particular research, the topicality of visual and intercultural creative communication is analyzed referring to the qualitative methods:  phenomenological, comparative hermeneutical ones.
 

This monograph analyzes the interplay of economics and philosophy, revealing what matters to philosophers in economics, how they think about economic phenomena, their causes and consequences for a variety of aspects of social life, along with the economic impact on an individual in the market as well as the market’s influence on the formation of the orientations of a society as regards its values. It presents a conception of the philosophy of economics and its interests, discusses the main methodological issues and directions as regards contemporary economics, and reveals the soundness of the application, in considering economic phenomena, of the principles of rational choice and utilitarianism, as well as the distinctiveness in the creation of economic and cultural values, and the similarities and differences in business as both an economic activity and an economic game, and the market’s influence on consumption as well as the value orientations of individuals and society, and the particularities of leisure and career in contemporary consumer society.

The monograph investigates the personal names (namely, names and surnames) of the residents of the Lithuanian part of Lithuania Minor in the XVIIth-XIXth centuries. The versatile                 anthroponymic material (about 18600 cases) presented and analysed in the monograph was collected from 10 sources of Minor Lithuania, including the XVIIth-XIXth century manuscripts of church books and their micro-copies, most of which are stored at the Evangelical Central Archives in Berlin and the funds of Rare Book and Manuscript Department in Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania. The monograph also involves the analyses of structure and origin as well as the lists of the most popular Lithuanian names of the XVIIth-XIXth centuries in Lithuania Minor. The consequences of great German colonization and Germanisation policies for the personal names of Lithuania Minor are as well evaluated. This historic study, due to its unique research material, is important to researchers of anthroponyms of Baltic, Germanic and the other Indo-European  origin and the other philologists as well as to historians, sociologists and culturologists.

Kačerauskas, Tomas; Vėželis, Tautvydas

This book is a series of dialogues between Tomas Kačerauskas, translator of Martin Heidegger’s magnum opus Being and Time into Lithuanian, and Tautvydas Vėželis, who initiated this project. Their discussion focuses primarily on the conception of the world and on the explication of Dasein in Heidegger’s work Being and Time. Modes of being are presented by analyzing Dasein’s existential structures. Kačerauskas and Vėželis appeal to the subtle distinctions between
ontological existentials and categories in Heidegger’s fundamental ontology. The book consists of three parts. The first part (The Regions of Being) discusses the necessity, structure and priority of the question of being. The second part (The A priori Structures of Dasein’s Existentiality) deals with Heideggerian problems concerning the notion of truth in the history of Western thought. The third part (An Analysis of Meaning in Heidegger’s Fundamental Ontology) considers issues of Heideggerian time.

This monograph is a fundamental study of creative industries including theoretical and practical researches of sector of creative industries in Lithuania and abroad as well as delivering insights into cultivation of collective creativity. Creative industries distinguish themselves in manifold expressions of creativity; they lead in creating innovative models of business as well as new strategies of consumers' involvement. Creative industries are based on the new ways of cultural production and onnovative forms of interactions among individuals. The monograph analyses the fundamental complex mega, macro, meso and micro factors making impact on effectiveness of creator/creators' teams. The authors of the monograph present an original complex model of actions - "4 Rings", which clearly exposes the links among the groups of above-mentioned factors. The research team believes that emphasis on the most significant factors of creativity will contribute to more effective and performative management of creative processes as well as creators' teams.

This monograph examines the multiple factors, specifically macro, meso and micro factors, impacting the effectiveness of the creator/creators teams’ performance. In most cases, the scientists examining the impact of these factors on creative industries, enterprises of creative industries, the creator, and the creation teams, focus their research within the field of their investigations and examine the factors in isolation. This monograph aims to examine the effectiveness of the creative teams’ performance in a complex analysis, that is, to determine not only the traditional micro factors, but also to assess the impact of mega, macro and meso factors. Although it is a complex and demanding task, the research team believes that a complex analysis expands the understanding of the factors of the creative team’s performance effectiveness and contributes to the higher effectiveness of the creation as well as an overall development of the creative industries.
