Examining Some Ethical Issues in the Context of War -- One of the main questions of this paper is whether the arguments in defence of war can be coupled with equal concern for the laws of war. While a permissive reading of the classical, theological just war tradition draws a number of conclu-sions that can be debated, this essay has attempted to draw attention to the fact that Augustine's questions of disordered political commitments (loves) are insep-arable from the more familiar questions of “right reason”, “right power” and “right intention”. Augustine’s reading reminds us that political desires still determine not only decisions to enter into armed conflict, but also the application of the inter-national law. On the one hand, politics is a means of influencing the dominant powers, a means of spreading their values, but also a means of holding them to account. It is also the voice of the oppressed and the vulnerable.

The study of the historicity and change processes of dance culture requires a specific theoretical methodology in dance anthropology and dance folklore studies, especially since such research has been relatively rare in the Hungarian anthropological scene and has produced a number of questionable results in the field of dance folklore studies. several aspects of an anthropological approach, as well as adopting a comparative and interpretive approach to critical dance studies can assist in deploying a historical perspective in the examination of dance culture. On the other hand, I will also argue that certain schools of the research methodology of social history may facilitate this as well. Utilizing the findings of new social history can also greatly enrich the current methodology of historical dance research.

Révai kis lexikona 1936-ban közölte Edvard Munch Az élet tánca című festményének fekete-fehér reprodukcióját a modern külföldi festők mellékletében. A „tánc” magyar szavunk német közvetítéssel honosodott meg nyelvünkben. Jelentése: a zene hangjaira ritmikusan mozogni, ugrálni, könynyedén  és gyorsan forogni. Az ókorban azt a körtáncot jelentette, amelyben a nők vagy férfiak összefogózva körben forognak. Ez a tánc az örömöt fejezte ki. Témája már az ókortól ismert a képzőművészetben, amint azt a Kr. e. 4–5. századból származó Táncoló peucetiai nők című falfestmény is bizonyítja az olaszországi Ruvo di Puglia (Bari megye) táncosainak sírján.
