Primary and Vocational School Pupils on their Educational and Vocational Futures

Uczniowie szkół podstawowych i kształcących w zawodzie wobec swojej przyszłości edukacyjno-zawodowej

Author(s): Joanna Kozielska / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: plans; educational and professional aspirations; strategies for constructing the future; youth, vocational training schools; vocational education; career counseling; professional success

Nowadays every young person needs to plan their education path and make educational and career choices. The labour market, which is modified by the ongoing processes of globalization, makes it imperative to undertake projects aimed at actively fitting individuals into this constantly reconstructed market, and also necessitates a number of activities of a preparatory character to ensure full labour market participation. The subject matter of the book concerns the theory and practice of pedagogy, in particular its sub-disciplines: labour pedagogy, and to some extent social pedagogy. The author conducts empirical resarch focusing on discovering pupils' educational and career plans, their aspirations and the determinants of these, as well as the strategies young people adopt in constructing their future. The author pays particular attention to two groups of respondents - primary school pupils and those who have already made their first educational and professional choices and are studying in vocational schools and technical schools. The study findings may serve to enrich the knowledge about the aspirations, educational and professional plans made by primary school pupils interested and not interested in vocational education and also that of students of vocational schools and technical schools. An important aspect in the study are also opinions about and expectations of school careers counselling, whose aim the author sees as creating space for learning about oneself and the world of work (taking into account the learning paths prior to entering the labour market) and developing activities conducive to optimizing employment possibilities or/and achieving professional success (depending on individual potential).

Oppian: Halieutica – A Poem about Fish and Fishermen

Oppian. Halieutika – Poemat o rybach i rybakach

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Oppian, ancient Greek didactic poem; fish; fishing; fishers

The epic Halieutica, written by the second-century AD poet Oppian, was a work thematically and artistically attractive for the ancient reader. It remains such for the contemporary reader, too. In the poem, Oppian tells a common story about the habits of marine animals, and the key principle in presenting the underwater world and its inhabitants is anthropomorphisation. The poetic presentation of fishermen's struggles with deep-sea creatures is, in the author's view, a moral-philosophical reflection on the unity of different elements of the world and the place occupied by humans. Consisting of more than three thousand hexametric verses and dedicated to Emperor Mark Aurelius, the poem is still dazzling with its different moods, refined erudition and elegance of poetic phrase. The epic poem measure of the original was rendered in the Polish translation using a traditional thirteen-syllable meter (retaining an identical number of verses).

Subjective rights in labour law - and towards 'whom'?

Prawo podmiotowe w prawie pracy – a względem „kogo”?

Author(s): Anna Musiała / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: law; subjective law; labour law; legal system

The monograph presents an innovative approach to labour law. The author’s extremely brave and innovative undertaking on the grounds of Polish legal science aims to present the reality in a more appropriate way. She proposes to look at labour law from the perspective of subjective law, suggesting that this law should be described in terms of employees’ subjective rights, or more broadly, "working man", leaving a description of the law in the material sense understood as a set of orders and prohibitions. In the monograph, the author refers to the concept of subjective right in civil law, the concept of subjective right in public law, and concepts of this right presented within the framework of legal theory. Describing these issues is a titanic work, which leads the author to look at the problems from an extremely broad perspective - the entire legal system. She comes to the conclusion that the most appropriate concept for presenting labour law issues, also allowing the "ordering" other concepts of subjective rights, is the concept which places the state of things due to the subject of the law at the centre of such a right, i.e. a legally significant value or good. It is also a concept developed for the purposes of theoretical presentation of human rights (internationally and constitutionally protected).

Literary Constellations of Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Oeuvre

Literackie konstelacje (w) twórczości Andrieja Zwiagincewa

Author(s): Beata Waligórska-Olejniczak / Language(s): English,Russian,Polish

Keywords: Zvyagintsev; cultural memory; constellation; Return; Apocrypha; Banishment; Loveless; Elena; Leviathan; Obscure; Bushido; Choice; Experiment 5ive; New York; I love you; Russian film

This book presents the interpretation of the films made by Andrey Zvyagintsev, one of the best-known contemporary directors, in the context of the selected texts of Russian literature. Although his films tend to be compared with the masterpieces of the world cinematography (i.e. the achievements of Michelangelo Antonioni, Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson, Michael Haneke, Alexander Sokurov, and most often Andrey Tarkovsky) it is easy to note – both in Poland and overseas as well – the lack of thorough monographs that would treat all his works as a complete and consistent art project. This book constitutes the first attempt of such research undertaking. The presented interpretation has comparative character, its methodological basis is the category of cultural memory as expounded in the theories of Astrid Erll and Renate Lachmann, enrooting this term in a broadly understood notion of intertextuality, close to the concept of the memory of the text. Each of the chapters contains the case study of one of the short or feature films (including TV series) and turns attention to metaphors, motives and migratory themes, taking their origin in the literary texts of Mikhail Bulhakov, Ivan Bunin, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin and Lev Tolstoy. The monograph offers also a wide overview of articles published so far on Zvyagintsev in Russian, English and Polish. The author takes into account the comments given by the Russian director himself concerning his works.

Lithuanians at the University of Dorpat (Yuriev) until 1918 and their later fortunes

Litwini na Uniwersytecie Dorpackim (Juriewskim) do 1918 roku i ich dalsze losy

Author(s): Grzegorz Błaszczyk / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: University of Dorpat; Dorpat; Lithuania; university; Poles at the University of Dorpat; Lithuanians at the University of Dorpat

The book, which is a biographical dictionary, is devoted to students of Lithuanian origin from the University of Dorpat in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The basic problem is that of separating Poles from Lithuanians in the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. An additional problem is the ambiguity of the term "Lithuanian" at that time. For there were two different concepts: Historical Lithuanian and Ethnic Lithuanian. These differ in many respects, mainly social, territorial, historical, ethnic. In the approach used by the author of this book, historical Lithuanians included such famous people as Stanislaw Cat Mackiewicz, his brother Józef Mackiewicz, Melchior Wańkowicz, Czesław Miłosz or Józef Piłsudski, alongside many others. In terms of ethnicity, all these mentioned were not of Polish but of Lithuanian or Ruthenian origin. The individuals considered themselves Lithuanians in a historical sense, but ultimately chose a Polish national consciousness. In this publication, both notions – Pole and Lithuanian – are used in a narrow sense, limited only to a person's national consciousness. Therefore, a Pole or a Lithuanian is a person who consciously and publicly expressed his or her national consciousness, whether Polish or Lithuanian. Such a situation was encountered only from the very end of the 19th century until Yuriev University closed in 1918.

Stanisław Konarski before the Holy Office (1769–1771)

Stanisław Konarski przed Świętym Oficjum, 1769–1771

Author(s): Paweł Zając / Language(s): Polish,Latin,Italian

Keywords: Stanislas Konarski; Enlighted Catholicism; Catholic Enlightenment; deism; index of forbidden books; Holy Office; nunciature; Angelo Maria Durini

Fr. Stanisław Konarski (1700–1773), Piarist, was one of the most outstanding figures in Polish intellectual life in the 18th century. His last book O religii poczciwych ludzi [On the Religion of Honest Men] (1769) was read with great interest for over two hundred years – first by its contemporary readers, then by historians of ideas and researchers of the Polish Enlightenment. In both cases, the book did not cease to attract attention due to the atmosphere of the scandal, which at the end of the Konarski’s life had reached wide circles – from the Warsaw nunciature to the Congregation of the Holy Office in Rome. The basic facts related to the trial, which took place in the Roman curia, were known to Polish historiography, but thus far only superficially. Hitherto unknown documents from the archives of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (former Holy Office) allow for the accurate reconstruction of the turbulent history of a book which in fact risked being including in the Index of Forbidden Books, even though it was written in defence of Christianity against 18th-century deism.

Adolescents’ Intimate Relationships

Związki intymne młodzieży

Author(s): Barbara Jankowiak / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: intimate relationships; adolescents; sexual development; dating violence; at-risk sexual behavior; sex education

The book Adolescents’ Intimate Relationships. A Theoretical and Empirical Study deals with various aspects of how present-day teenagers function in love and sexual relationships. The emergence of a strong interest in potential intimate partners and a growing sexual need are extremely characteristic of adolescence and motivate teenagers to flirt, date, talk about love and sexuality with their peers, very strongly involving them behaviorally as well as emotionally and cognitively. This makes it all the more surprising that adolescent romantic relationships have so far not received as much attention from researchers as adults’ intimate relationships. Although most of the current findings indicate that adolescents' romantic relationships are important for their future lives, the importance of the issue of adolescent love has so far been recognized by book authors and film scriptwriters rather than by researchers. The present book aims to fill this gap. It consists of fourteen chapters. The first six are devoted to analysis of a theoretical and diagnostic nature. Chapters seven to fourteen provide a description of the methodological assumptions (chapter seven) and an analysis and interpretation of the research findings.

The Feminist Helmut Newton

Feminista Helmut Newton

Author(s): Magdalena Szulc / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Helmut Newton; feminist art; feminist photography

The Feminist Helmut Newton is a book devoted to the work of Helmut Newton, who had a huge impact on the development of feminist art and photography. In each decade, his photography gained more and more importance. It can be said that in principle it was never just a form of art or reporting. The image has always influenced all areas of social life - from politics to consumption. One of such socio-cultural problems raised by photography may be feminism. The book presents the work of the German fashion photographer Helmut Newton as changing not only the world of fashion but also the world of 20th-century feminism. His unusual ability to attract eyes through controversial topics and projects has won Newton a number of fans, as well as making even more enemies. However, the photographer-pornographer, as contemporary critics called him became an icon of his time, arousing extreme emotions - from delight to scandal. Yet, it cannot be denied that he showed a whole range of female types, emotions and behaviors. The book also includes the results of the research conducted at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin.

Ecofiction

Ekofantastyka

Author(s): Grażyna Gajewska / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: ecofiction; ecology; ecohorror; science fiction; climate fiction; weird fiction; fantasy; Anthropocene; Capitalocene; Chthulucene

The future, in which future generations of both human and non-human beings will live, is being shaped today, and it is in this sense that we experience it, conceptualize it to some extent, model it, and feel it emotionally and even somatically. The author of Ecofiction talks about this way of experiencing the present and future in the context of the climate crisis, water and air pollution, disappearing biodiversity, and worsening environmental injustice. The book contains the thesis that to change this state of affairs we need not only scientific, technological, political and economic tools, but also some new sensibility and aesthetics. The "management of imagination" Gajewska proposes would mean constructing new models of cognition at both the epistemological, ontological, axiological and aesthetic levels. The book also constitutes a search for such types, genres, genre varieties in literature, film, computer games, fine arts in which various scenarios of human-not-human justice (or injustice) are most clearly revealed. It makes a case for paying special attention to speculative science fiction, in which the themes of ecology and multispecies (in)justice are addressed. Engaged in presenting alternative images of reality, this trend in speculative fiction provokes audiences to rethink the place of humans on Earth, our relationship with non-humans and political-ethical-aesthetic responsibility for the possible (or probable) shape of the future. At the same time, these speculations – as products of the times in which they were conceived – reveal the ideas that present-day writers, filmmakers, artists and audiences of their works about the likely, or expected, direction in which we will (perhaps) move to transcend, or at least weaken, anthropocentric thinking and direct attention to biodiversity and multispecies well-being.

Keywords: youth; education; parenting; adolescence; youth culture

This publication is a collection of theoretical and research analyses concerning how contemporary youth functions in a dynamically changing socio-cultural reality. The articles included in the volume focus on two problem areas: youth in relation to the changes of the modern world and youth in the context of selected educational issues. The topics discussed in the first part of the monograph focus on phenomena and processes that determine the fate of young people today (and not only), set trends and directions of aspirations. These include the SARS- CoV-02 pandemic, multiculturalism, globalisation, and the escape into the virtual world. In light of the specific nature of these circumstances, the authors of these articles reflect on the modern-day generation of young people based on change. The second part of the publication concerns issues connected to how young people function in the educational system and upbringing-related issues connected with the adolescence period. What comes through in all the texts is the need to design new educational solutions for young people relating to the changes in the contemporary world.

Video Games as a Medium of Communication. Modes and Dimensions of Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Communication among Gamers

Gry wideo jako medium komunikacji. Wymiary interpersonalnej i intrapersonalnej komunikacji graczy

Author(s): Joanna Sikorska / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: video game players; intermedia relations of video game players; video games as a communication medium for gamers; interpersonal communication; communication culture in gaming communities; intrapersonal communication; gamer’s self-image

The book Video Games as a Medium of Communication. Modes and Dimensions of Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Communication among Gamers presents the current findings from research and scientific analysis concerning video games as a medium of communication. Video games allow gamers to communicate with themselves, as well as with other players and users of cyberspace. The issues addressed in the book show the complexity of the subject matter, point to interdependencies and also constitute a valuable source of knowledge in the cognitive, theoretical and practical spheres. What makes this publication extremely valuable is the way theoretical reconstructions are presented, as well as how the author indicates pedagogical implications for educational practice in terms of using video games and their specific language in education, also presenting them in various ways. Although communication between gamers is based on the same principles as communication between other users of cyberspace, it sometimes requires specific communicative competences, both verbal and non-verbal, due to the diversity and specificity of video games. The lack of such competences may interfere in satisfying needs important for the gamer: being competent, efficient, creative, transgressive, able to carry out the activities determined by the game independently but also together with other members of the group (guild, clan, discussion forum bringing players together). Significant elements are not only the reception and transmission of messages but also the particular aspect of intrapersonal communication of importance to each gamer, which, thanks to the internalization of messages, enables individuals to develop self-reflection and inner self-control.

Keywords: Superbia; conceit; culture; linguistics

The articles included in the monograph were produced within the framework of the Humanities Academic Consortium of Adam Mickiewicz University-Jagiellonian University. They touch upon almost all issues, aspects and axiological and semantic spheres related to cultural representations of pride. These include: an innovative look at ancient strategies of conceiving pride and the resources of rhetorical tricks used to describe and express lofty attitudes and megalomaniac charms; medieval reflections on the complicated relations connecting pride in one's own achievements with the obligation to express pride that borders on the humiliating; the medieval discussion on the complex relationship between pride in one's own achievements and the obligation to express humility bordering on self-deprecation; the problems encountered by lexicographers in constructing the term "pride"; the individualistic identification of the human being discovered in Romanticism; the imagological reflections on the question of national pride. The fact that nowadays, after many centuries of their ambiguous presence in European (and other) culture, Latin superbia and Greek hybris continue to arouse the emotions of the public and fascinate academic connoisseurs shows that neither science nor literature has yet said its final word on the subject.

(Post)Colonial Making of Jamaica

(Post)kolonialne wytwarzanie Jamajki

Author(s): Łukasz Kaczmarek / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: social anthropology; political anthropology; social mobility; socio-economical status; racism; classism; multisited ethnography; anthropology of Jamaica

The book by anthropologist Lukasz Kaczmarek includes reflections from his multi-site ethnographic research on the transformations of a post-colonial society in a state so vital to understanding the modern world. Jamaican society has come a long way from a numerically dominant servile population of enslaved and disenfranchised people subordinated to colonial rule through to citizens of a country doomed to peripheralization within the global economy. Kaczmarek presents the ethno-historical aspects of the formation of the racist-classist domination of a group of Europeans over the majority shaped by the economic use of people, the exploitation and preservation of their subordinate status and the exploitation of global inequalities. Using Jamaican urban spaces and tourism as an example, he presents the consequences of colonial neglect of the island's social and economic development, and maintaining the majority of its inhabitants in the position of ‘Others’, which has resulted in their rejecting an important part of the "colonial legacy" and their aspirations to create their own identity. The author devotes the final chapters to discussing the practical consequences of the continuation of ethno-racial and class statuses rooted in colonial and nationalist hierarchies, which do not fit the description of societies in the modern world, but are cynically resuscitated and utilized in order to legitimize the exploitation and discrimination of arbitrarily selected groups.

For us it is sacred

Dla nas to jest świętość

Author(s): Karolina Dziubata-Smykowska / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: folklorism; intangible cultural heritage; cultural heritage; folklore; anthropology of folklore

The monograph focuses on the relationship between folklorism and the protection of intangible cultural heritage on the example of wedding ritual performances in the Wielkopolska region. Its aim is to identify the function of the performances in the local cultural landscape on the example of the activities of selected performances and the folklore ensembles performing them. The book is set in the paradigm of anthropology of folklore and anthropological folkloristics, and is an attempt at an anthropological answer to the question whether wedding ritual performances, perceived as a phenomenon belonging to the category of folklorism, constitute a form of protection of intangible cultural heritage. The monograph presents the motivations and consequences of undertaking such activities by the members of the folklore groups studied, the ways in which folklore is understood, the reproduction and management of heritage elements, and their use for social, economic and political purposes. The case studies represent: Szamotuły Weddings, Przyrostynia Weddings, and Biskupizne Weddings. Although scholarly studies of individual wedding performances have been produced, the ethnological literature lacks any monograph devoted to a processual and holistic comparative analysis of this phenomenon. The book deals with the following issues: (1) the role of folklorism, as exemplified by wedding rituals in the local and regional cultural landscape; (2) the motivations and experiences of members of the local community related to these practices; (3) the impact of the UNESCO intangible heritage protection policy and system on how traditional folklore and folklorism functions; and (4) the ways in which folklore and folklorism are perceived and the resulting ways in which intangible cultural heritage is protected. The publication outlines the process by which performances have become an important element of local and regional cultural landscapes, and permanently embedded in the lives of inhabitants

The Scientific Discipline and the Scientist’s Identity

Dyscyplina naukowa i tożsamość naukowca

Author(s): Zbyszko Melosik / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: scientist; academic discipline; university; identity; humanities

The book The Scientific Discipline and the Scientist’s Identity represents another outcome of the author's research interests at the university. The author focuses his attention on disciplines and disciplinarity, in very broad contexts. The book consists of two parts. Part One is devoted to the following issues: the role of disciplines in the structure of science and the university, essentialist and constructivist approaches to disciplines, dimensions of disciplinary territoriality, disciplinary identifications and socialization into disciplines, the status of the scientist within disciplines and its sources, the division and hierarchization of disciplines, interdisciplinarity, the humanities vs. exact and natural sciences, the book in the humanities and social sciences, the consequences of the digitisation of scientific books, English as the language of global science, the confrontation of paradigms in contemporary science, footnotes and the practice of science. Part Two of the book discusses discipline-related case studies: the glory and decline of astrology and alchemy, the pseudoscience of Lysenkoism, the status and aesthetics of mathematics, the controversy over the disciplinary status of pedagogy and criminology, economic imperialism, and masculinity and femininity in physics. The author's analysis and interpretations allow us to conclude that the thesis of a crisis or decline in the importance of disciplines is not justified; they still play a decisive role in the organisation of modern science, the university and the academic community. They also constitute an extremely important source for shaping the identity of scientists.

Neuro effect

Efekt neuro

Author(s): Michał Klichowski / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: pedagogy; education; neuroscience; experimental studies; interdisciplinarity

The book tells the story of an educationalist's scientific emigration to the world of neuroscience. However, the impulse to write it was not the need to publish an emigration diary but rather for the emigrant to reflect critically on how neuroscience has seduced educators and non-educators and how it is used to seduce numerous domains, including those that are strictly educational. Although you may not realize it at times, neuroscience seduces everyone. And this is what the author calls the neuro effect. The book shows that neuroscience seduces in at least several ways. Referring to his scientific research, which was carried out over several years of internships in neurolaboratories, as well as to scientific theories and results obtained by other scientists, the author describes such aspects as seduction by the applied perspective of neuroresearch, the ethos of the brain, brain-centric and brain-deterministic concepts, neurorealistic possibilities of visualizing the processes occurring in the brain, neuroequipment, neurolaboratory, and the splendor of neuroscientists. When showing various contexts of the neuro effect, the author does not focus solely on describing them. He also exposes the consequences of seduction, particularly those related to pedagogy, for example, dangerous activities aimed at the educational application of yet unproven brain stimulation methods or the increase in redundant publications in the field of neuropedagogy. He also identifies possible solutions to counter seduction. The key is building awareness of the limitations of neuroscientific knowledge by studying neuroscience and gaining experimental experience in neurolaboratories
