"Polski atlas etnograficzny". Historia, osiągnięcia, perspektywy badawcze

Author(s): Zygmunt Klodnicki,Agnieszka Pienczak,Joanna Kozminska / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2017

In the part The Polish Ethnographic Atlas in the historical perspective, consisting of two chapters, the circumstances and methods have been presented of collecting materials for the needs of Polski atlas etnograficzny [The Polish Ethnographic Atlas] (PAE) as well as the process of making maps. The principles of ethnogeographic concluding and the retrogressive method have been also discussed. The most important works based on the analyses of ethnographic maps are presented – they concern cultural diversification of Poland, marking the Polish-German borderland and the potentialities of comparative studies with the use of the materials and maps comprised in the PAE and Atlas der deutschen Volkskunde [The Atlas of German Folklore] (ADV). The chapter The ethnogeographical and retrogressive method comprises the history of atlas works in Poland. The first Polish but at the same time European collection of ethnographic maps is Atlas kultury ludowej w Polsce [The Atlas of Folk Culture in Poland], elaborated by Kazimierz Moszyński and Jadwiga Klimaszewska on the basis of materials from the first half of the 1930s. They refer to Poland in its borders until World War II. In the same period, materials were collected in Germany for the ADV (edited by Heinrich Harmjanz and Erich Röhr), which took into account the area of Austria. A part of the territories covered by the ADV research are current Western and Northern areas of Poland – therefore, the data collected there are a precious ethnographic source, partially suitable for comparative studies.The next Polish atlas is Polski atlas etnograficzny, created and edited by Józef Gajek. At first,the works were conducted within the Polish Ethnological Society and materials were collectedby post correspondence. In 1953, the PAE was taken over by the newly opened Department ofEthnography of the Institute of Material Culture History (currently: the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology) at the Polish Academy of Sciences. Field studies were carried out in 332 villages (this number increased slightly later) and the researchers were ethnographers and ethnography students. The fast dying out of traditional culture and often insufficient materials from field studies were the reasons why soon the data from expert literature and museums started to be taken into account as well.So far, the PAE sample booklet (1958) and booklets 1–6 (1964–1981) have been published. They all concern material culture and comprise 372 maps. Many issues associated with social and spiritual culture have remained in the manuscripts of booklets 7–9. Since 1993, the volumes of „Komentarze do Polskiego Atlasu Etnograficznego” [Commentaries to the Polish Ethnographic Atlas] have been published, at first edited by Janusz Bohdanowicz and Zygmunt Kłodnicki, later also by Agnieszka Pieńczak (the caregiver of the atlas collections).What is also presented in this chapter are the problems of the cartographic technique with special focus on the dependence of the quality of maps on the nature of questions provided in the questionnaires. Special value can be attributed to the maps based on the responses to the questions concerning strictly defined artefacts or other cultural phenomena – closed questions. Open questions have brought spontaneous responses which resulted in the approximate ranges (on maps: areas of occurrence). The contents of questions are placed in map legends. The chapter Reasons of the differentiation in traditional culture of the Polish village is a presentation of the major accomplishments achieved owing to the ethnogeographic method inthe field of: reconstructing earlier stages of culture on the territories of Poland (Moszyński),its later growing diversification due to Western influences (Moszyński, Gajek, Bohdanowicz,Kłodnicki), the shaping and lasting of cultural regions which had been earlier tribal territories(Gajek, Bohdanowicz) or were formed later (Andrzej Brencz).The possibility of comparative studies with the use of PAE and ADV maps are limited because the research for the needs of the ADV was conducted only among the German and Austrian population, whereas in the case of the PAE the ethnic criterion was not applied. Moreover, both atlases differ in the research time and most of the maps have different legends.In the work Obrzędowość narodzinowa na Górnym Śląsku (izolacja położnicy). Polski atlasetnograficzny i Atlas der deutschen Volkskunde w perspektywie porównawczej [Birth rituals in Upper Silesia (isolation of the birth-giving woman). The Polish Ethnographic Atlas and Atlas der deutschen Volkskunde in the comparative perspective] (2016), Pieńczak confirmed that in some cases such comparative studies are possible provided some rigours are kept. Thisraises hope as there are already many thousands of maps in the European ethnocartographicoutput (Annex 1). A large amount of data can be subjected to statistical analysis with the useof correlation methods, which has been earlier checked by Kłodnicki in the materials of Polski atlas etnograficzny (1994).The second part of the book, “The Polish Ethnographic Atlas” in the contemporary perspective starts with the chapter Cultural heritage on the platform Digital Archives of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas. From the idea to implementation, in which the authors discuss the shaping of the concept of digitalization and sharing of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas Archives, the major assumptions and potentialities of the project implementation, and the related research results. What is more, the specificity of the PAE digital platform has been presented as well. The Research Team of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas, functioning within the Faculty of Ethnology and Education (in Cieszyn) at the University of Silesia has undertaken an innovative attempt at the elaboration, digitalization and sharing of the atlas materials (the deposit of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences). The Polish Ethnographic Atlas is the only archive of this type in Poland and it covers the whole territory of Poland. Until recently, the access to these archival sources was limited. What has become the priority for the initiators of the undertaking is the digitalization of the rich PAE archives, which is designed for many years. Its first step comprises the presentation and sharing of three unique ethnographic collections in the internet.In 2014, the implementation started of the several-years-long project „The Polish Ethnographic Atlas – scientific elaboration, electronic database, the publication of resources in the Internet” within the National Programme for the Development of Humanities. The aim was to reach a possibly broad group of hypothetical recipients, including representatives of humanities and social sciences dealing with the broadly understood cultural heritage. The undertaking was implemented by ten people, mostly employed in the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology (in Cieszyn) at the University of Silesia and in the Polish Institute of Anthropology (Warsaw) – among them the four main contractors of the project (Professor Zygmunt Kłodnicki, Ph.D. hab., Agnieszka Pieńczak, Ph.D., Edyta Diakowska-Kohut, M.A., Joanna Koźmińska, M.A.). In the team, there were other ethnologists, as well as IT specialists and a photographer specializing in digitalization of museum collections.In the first stage of the implementation, due to a large number of objects indicated for digitalization, only some were selected by three criteria. Digitalization works and the edition of digital catalogues, which took many months, concerned three large ethnographic collections, comprising over 12 100 photographs taken during field studies (1954–1971), 770 published atlas maps (1958–2013) and over 470 questionnaires dedicated to wild plants collecting, which comprised herbaria (1947–1953). All the discussed collections are worth sharing their special historical value, particularly for people interested in rural culture, and because they are the most typical of atlas activity.The financial support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and of the Faculty ofEthnology and Education at the University of Silesia enabled the establishing of the Digitalization Laboratory of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas, equipped with specialist research appliances. For indexing the atlas collections and their publication in the Internet, the web application Galeneo was used. This enabled the activation of the digital platform Digital Archives of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas (www.archiwumpae.us.edu.pl).The currently conducted atlas works mark the beginning of implementing the research concept aimed at creating a coherent, synthetic, digital collection of archival resources and at sharing them in the public interface. However, due to the large size of the PAE collections, this is a long-term activity. In the future, the atlas output will be brought together in one easily accessible collection, which will provide a precedent possibility of effective search for interesting issues within various fields of culture.In the second chapter, Anthropology in the network. A digital project of the Polish Institute ofAnthropology, the issues have been discussed concerning the condition of digital humanities in Poland in the perspective of ethnology and anthropology. The distinction between anthropology in the net and netnography has been provided. The former consist in collecting, storing and indexing (in the Internet) anthropological contents available in the traditional (offline) form.The latter, according to Robert V. Kozinets, is the scientific exploration of the internet space.What is also provided are many examples of both phenomena, which confirms the growingnumber of projects oriented towards activities in the internet space. Two projects have been described in detail – „Biblioteka Cyfrowa PIA [Digital Library of the Polish Institute of Anthropology]” (www.cyfrowaetnografia.pl) and „Polski Atlas Etnograficzny – opracowanie naukowe, elektroniczny katalog danych, publikacja zasobów w sieci Internet, etap I [The Polish Ethnographic Atlas – scientific elaboration, electronic database, publishing the resources in the Internet, stage I]” (www.archiwumpae.us.edu.pl). They are compliant withthe current classified as anthropology in the net and they constitute a significant undertakingfor the whole scientific environment. They are also an example of the collaboration betweenthe Research Team of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas (functioning at the Faculty of Ethnologyand Education of the University of Silesia in Katowice) and the Polish Institute of Anthropology.The joint studies conducted by both institutions have resulted in the open internet accessto the unique digitalized collection of 380 atlas maps, which might become the basis for manyresearch projects. What constitutes an important part of the publication are three extensive annexes, which are an effect of the atlas studies carried out for several last years. The first comprises a list of maps concerning the material culture, coming from Atlas kultury ludowej wPolsce, Polski atlas etnograficzny, and some atlases of nearby countries. The list takes into account also some available maps resulting from ethnographic works of other types. Particular attention is paid here to the maps included in diploma theses which have been written on the basis of the materials of the PAE Research Team in Cieszyn by students under the supervision of Zygmunt Kłodnicki and later of Agnieszka Pieńczak and Anna Drożdż. The second annex contains the detailed data concerning over 440 places of the PAE research network, in which a rich photographic documentation was collected in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The third annex comprises the information on over 230 places of this network in which first questionnaire studies were conducted.

(Nie)przygotowani. Metafora szkoły w polskiej poezji współczesnej

Author(s): Kamila Czaja / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2018

The dissertation focuses on the – underrepresented in the state of research – subject of metaphor of school in the contemporary Polish poetry. The inspirations drawn from the works on the subject of the cognitive metaphor (Lakoff and Johnson) and the development of this theory on the poetic matter (Lakoff and Turner), from the papers written in the field of anthropology of education, from the partial analyses of the works by poets using the school scenes and terminology and, at last, from philosophical, psychological, pedagogical and sociological studies on mutual connections between education and non-school world allow to see the multifaceted application of the large metaphor LIFE IS A SCHOOL in the poetry. To show this large-scale subject (both in the aspect of the time-frame and poetic diction or genre) in a systematic way, the thesis consists of two parts, which are the result of two complementary approaches. The first part of the dissertation, Stages, is dedicated to the metaphor of school existing in the Polish poetry of two different periods – the years 1945–1989 (the escape from politics into the universal metaphors of school versus the use of school language as the way to beat the Polish People’s Republic system at its own game) and the new Polish poetry (the last works by the Old Masters, the transformation of the anti-system poetry after 1989, the poems forerunningthe latest poetic strategy, the anti-school statements by the authors who emerged after 1989 and their inclination to use the metaphor of school). This chronological conceptualization of the subject allows to present the intergenerational similarities and differences in including the school scenes, characters, objects and terms in the poetry, but at the same time it shows that the metaphor of school is formed partly under the influence of external (historical, political, social) factors, so this figure can be used not only as the universal large metaphor, but also as the instrument of verbalization of the experiences and changes associated with the specific events.The second part of the thesis, Topics, serves as the examination of those elements of school reality that build the metaphors connected with education. The school accessories, the educational institutions and stages, the teachers and the students, the timetable (lessons, tutoring, truancy, summer breaks), as well as the methods of evaluation of the educational performance appear in the contemporary Polish poetry in various forms and turn out to be the way to verbalize a wide range of existential experiences.The timelessness of school as the large metaphor of life and the specific strategies of metaphorization that change with time both contribute to versatility of this kind of poetic practices – the practices that are able to express different aspects of life metaphorically by the means connected with school. Love and death, past, present and future, self-recognition and the knowledge of the Other become more accessible and understandable when they are presented as the elements of “education” – even if the findings drawn from those “lessons”on the human condition can be really disheartening.

Administracja. Prawo administracyjne. Część ogólna

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2018

The monograph entitled Administration. Administrative law. General part presents the issues pertaining to the general part of administrative law in plain, clear language. The book’s content is divided into five parts. Part One deals with the peculiarities of administration in a free, democratic welfare state under the rule of law. Part Two presentsmajor issues related to administration understood as a function of the state which is regulated by law. Part Three of the publication, in turn, discusses particular forms of administrative actions, whereas Part Four – the relationships regulated by administrative law. The concluding Part Five of the monograph concerns the responsibility borne by public administration and its bodies.As an academic textbook this publication is aimed at students of law and administration, as well as articled clerks, but it may also be of use to legal practitioners. This publication constitutes a substantial contribution in the discussion about directions of changes in public administration that have been taking place since the year 1990, when Poland’s political system was transformed thereby restoring local selfgovernment.The latter, as a basic form of centralized public administration, functions as an important school of democracy and empowerment of local communities. Both the Editors and the Contributors of this publication are outstanding experts in the field as well as experienced practitioners, which translates into high intellectual value of their studies included in the book.

Akty prawa wewnętrznie obowiązującego a uchwały organów prawniczych samorządów zawodów zaufania publicznego

Author(s): Agnieszka Wiktorzak / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2018

The first chapter touches upon the issue of internal law regulations. The chapter discusses, among other things, the topic of the subjective scope of functioning of such normative regulations. Chapter two, in turn, presents two models of organizing the administration system: centralized and decentralized. Central state authorities functioning in the centralized model of administration can issue internal law regulations. In chapter three, the author elaborates on the concepts of “the act of implementation of the law” and “the legislative act.” Chapter four discusses the issue of the legal authorities of professional associations constituting public authorities, legally entitled to issuing acts of implementation of the law. The author presents the legal basis for the functioning of legal authorities of professional associations which represent people in public trust professions. Moreover, the chapter includes an overview of resolutions of the legal authorities of public trust profession associations in the context of the constitutional freedoms of the individual. In chapter five, in turn, the author introduces the topic of the constitutional rule of the freedom of business activity in the case of people in legal public trust professions. Moreover, the author touches upon the notion of the material and formal aspect of the limitation of business activity in the case of people in legal public trust professions.

Antologia literacka. Przemiany, ekspansja i perspektywy gatunku. Seria pierwsza

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2017

“Our age is the age of anthologies” – Władysław Tatarkiewicz’s thesis, articulated as early as at the turn of the 1980s, continues to be relevant. The anthology seems to be one of the forms of a unit of silva of paramount importance for modern culture – which is indeed condemned to a sort of selection of writing which floods the bookshelves of bookstores. In the volume which we present to the reader we examine above all the modern literary anthologies (of the 20th and the 21st centuries), although we do not fail to take into account the historical context which enables us to perceive and to understand the changes which take place. The articles collected in the book present the form in question in terms of its theoretical, historical-literary and legal aspects; they take into account the extremely important environment-related situation – the social and the geographical situation of the anthology, its association with a certain symbolic community in the country and in emigration; they also present two factors which determine the form of the selection – the subject and the figure of the anthologist. The poetics of anthologistic forms is also considered in a broader context: as a phenomenon which is directly associated with the culture of quotation, as one of the more interesting and heretofore unexplored manifestations of intertextuality.

Aplikacja mobilna jako zjawisko kulturowe

Author(s): Barbara Orzel / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2017

The main aim of this book is to determine the influence of mobile application on the area of new media reality and culture. The dissertation consists of eight chapters. The first chapter begins with a recall of the most important concepts of computer program and the presentation of its history, based on the following criteria: „linguistic“ – presenting different programming languages, and „technical“ – discussing further innovations, milestones in the field of computer hardware. Afterwards the author considers the evolution of computer program, the history of mobile phone and the presentation of mobile operating systems. The important part of dissertation concentrates on the cultural aspects of programming – the concept of algorithm and the reception of programming languages in the light of the Sapir‑Whorf hypothesis. The following subject focuses on finding common ground for concepts, phenomena and mechanisms that combines the digital and cultural order, provides the foundation for reflection on the interface issues, the idea of cross‑platform, the „three screens strategy“ and the consequences of mobile media consumption. The next part of dissertation concentrates on the analysis of mechanisms related to the selection of applications in the light of Henrik Vejlgaard‘s trend sociology and their use as a marketing tool. The conversion of media reality mediated by the mobile apps is the main problem of subsequent chapters: the transformations of computer games (the transition from console to mobile channel), the phenomenon of most popular mobile games, the personalization and customization of the user experience. Thereafter the author goes back to the sources ofmobile applications – the innovation and start‑ups. The main reference are the most importantbusiness models and the area of „creation – foundation – distribution“. The last part of dissertation concentrates on the new communication behaviors that have been created in the different areas of life (for example: self‑expression, e‑reading, „smart homes“). The foregoing discussion has attempted to present the cultural perception of mobile applications, the transformation of concepts and the possible directions of their influence.

Archiwum Jeleńskich z NGAB w Mińsku (XVI—XX wiek) — jego dzieje i inwentarz

Author(s): Dariusz Rolnik / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2018

The main part of the present publication is constituted by the Archives of the Jeleński family from the National Historical Archives of Belarus in Minsk. It seems that the implementation of this project will considerably facilitate using the aforementioned complex of archives, as the existent and accessible inventory of this archive in Minsk in fact only provides information about former signatures, and — in an obscure and frequently erroneous manner — about its contents. The way of presenting the Archives of the Jeleński family as suggested here will allow the researcher to familiarize quickly and certainly with its content, while the first part of the present study will facilitate the reading of this archive as well as the appropriate decoding of the senders and recipients of the messages, which is particularly important in case of reading the correspondence contained in the archive. Moreover, what is even more important, the archive will thus be introduced into the scientific circle. Despite the fact that this particular archive is not the most significant one for the purpose of studying the history of the former Republic of Poland, it nevertheless has some significance for the studies on the functioning of its provinces. The information contained in the archive may facilitate to explore the past times of the Saxon and Stanislavian age, and the history of the first half of the 19th century, exhibiting completely new matters, or showing the old ones in a new perspective. The material of the archives of the Jeleński family, including the correspondence contained there, apart from few fragments does not revolutionalize the image of the Lithuanian province of the Stanislavian times; in some periods, however, it makes it more precise and elaborate, demonstrating the whole context of the functioning of the Lithuanian province, as can be exemplified by the Minsk, and sometimes by the Novogrod voivodeships, and most of all by the lands of the Mozyrski district, to which the majority of the information contained in the archives refers. It constitutes a good exemplum for demonstrating the mechanisms of exercising power. The material of the archive also demonstrates an important quality of the gentry of the Stanislavian epoch, namely its concern with own interests. Economic issues related to the Jeleńskis’ possessions are mentioned in almost every unit. Disregarding the essence of the correspondence between the Jeleński family and their land stewards and plenipotentiaries responsible for their household affairs, attention must be paid to the correspondence which the members of the family carried on with one another, in which public issues were rarely taken up. In the letters that were exchanged among the members of the house, the dominant problems were common economic, contractual, and procedural matters. The main part of this study is preceded by introductory chapters. They contain basic information concerning the Jeleński family. They reveal the power of the family, and allow to rank this family among the Lithuanian elite, but primarily these chapters are meant to be the aid in reading the archives’ inventory. They may, after all, facilitate the appropriate reading of the letters that are comprised in this file, chiefly with respect to their receivers and senders. This part of publication also contains a brief history of the Archive of the Jeleński family and a short description of its resources. Also, the chapter provides the principles of the structuring of the inventory and of the editing of its contents. Moreover, it points out to the most valuable materials which can be found in the archive.

Autopromocja, autoprezentacja, wizerunek w mediach masowych. T. 3

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2017

Another – third – volume in the self-promotion-related series entitled Self-promotion, self-presentation and one’s image presented in mass media constitutes a collection of articles which this time seek the strategy of creating one’s image in mass media. In this exceptionally receptive space one may perceive realisations of various self-promotion-related strategies which are embraced by those who attempt to make an impact on the mind of the reader, listener or spectator.Therefore the strategies which were mentioned not only furnish inspiration for reflection about various individuals or social groups who use the public space in order to promote their image but also a splendid starting point for an analysis of the media space which was embraced and in which a presentation of specific attitudes is preformed by means of word and image.We hope that the text which we present to the reader will be engaging, and will inspire reflection and discovery in the field of self-promotion-related discourse.

Badanie kultury. Ludzie, projekty, realizacje

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2016

The present monograph presents both the history of the Department of Theory andHistory of Culture, as well as its changing and developing over the years structure. The authors of individual articles have made an attempt at portraying the history of the Department in a broad, historic-cultural, as well as scientific context, taking into account the state of Polish cultural studies and its specificity as a part of the Faculty of Philology of the University of Silesia.The book has been divided into two parts. The first one is devoted to research projects that have so far been carried out by the Department and to the academic profile of the unit. Here one can find a historical overview presenting the process of shaping the community as well as the series of articles devoted to its selected achievements: anthropological field research, model research project devoted to Polish diaspora of Kazakhstan, the concept of cultural anthropology of literature, publications on the issue of shame in culture, memetic and socio-biological aspects of research into culture, as well as the model of the history of culture proposed by the Department.The second part has been devoted mainly to didactic projects (including the history of student research groups at the Department), as well as to the cooperation of the Department with numerous cultural institutions. The reader will find here reflections on the problem of teaching Polish culture, educating teachers on culture studies, as well as educating students in the field of cultural heritage at undergraduate studies. A separate issue is the characteristics of the journal entitled “Laboratorium Kultury” [A Laboratory of Culture] that has relatively recently been set up by the academics of the Department. The last article in the monograph has been devoted to personality basis of scientific culture. The following have been attached to the present monograph: a list of graduates, as well as an appendix presenting important historical documents for Katowice cultural studies.The present book offers a cultural study conceptualization of the problems related to Polish research. The authors of the monograph assume that in order to understand the specificity of any institution, it is necessary to consider its activity in the context of other organizational forms and in the perspective of the longest possible period. Therefore, it is vital to embed the history, achievements, and the contemporary times of The Department of the Theory and History of Culture in the context of local conditioning of the humanities, but also, aspectually, to perceive it in the context of the development of culture studies in Poland, and principally to embed it in the structures of Polish academic system in its organizational, research, and didactic scope. This kind of characteristics of the present through the lens of the past allows to recognize and engineer the future.

Bettina von Arnim: "O Polsce"

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish,German / Publication Year: 2018

The second volume in the series Niemiecka Literatura Kobiet [German Women’s Literature] initiated by the Institute of German Philology of the Silesian University furnishes the Polonohile essay entitled “Polenbroschüre” [“O Polsce”; “An essay on Poland”] by a famous German woman writer of the Romantic period Bettina von Arnim – translated for the first time into Polish. The text which was originally published in 1849 continues to amaze the reader with its topicality, constituting at the same time an example of a German (and woman’s) voice (which was heard relatively rare in the history of German literature) which advocated the pursuit of freedom and the rights of the Polish people in such a passionate, uncompromising and committed way. Moreover, the publication contains essays devoted to the life and the literary output of Bettina von Arnim, the political problems discussed in the “Broszura o Polsce”, selected problems of translation and a comprehensive bibliography. The book “O Polsce” is intended primarily for people who are interested in the history of German literature, especially woman’s literature, the history of Polish-German relations and the problems of literary translation.

Bezbronne myśli. Eseje i inne pisma o Górnym Śląsku

Author(s): Zbigniew Kadlubek / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2016

The present book contains essays, studies, memoires, a speech, as well as poetic attempts whose theme is Upper Silesia. These are texts which in different versions, usually under different titles were published in the monthly “Śląsk”, in the quarterlies “Przegląd Polityczny” and “Fabryka Silesia”, as well as in “Borussia”. All the texts — as literary texts — are devoted to various aspects of Upper Silesian identity. They are attempts at diagnosing what the contemporary regionalism is, what Upper Silesia is at the beginning of the XXI century, what the so-called Upper-Silesian awakening is, what the perspectives of the Silesian dialect as a regional language are, etc. Some texts constitute attempts at portraying outstanding, already deceased persons of cultural life in Upper Silesia (Stefan Szymutko, Michał Smolorz, Jan F. Lewandowski, Feliks Netz). Some essays are theoretical in nature — they focus on seeking a research method that would include both the contemporary existence of people who identify themselves with Upper Silesia, as well as a historical perspective free from propaganda and distortions. The book is finished with a genuine speech delivered in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland at 9th October 2014. The content of the speech exposes the true defencelessness of Silesian thoughts and simultaneously motivates the title of the entire compilation.

Bezpieczeństwo zdrowotne w nauce i polityce społecznej. Wprowadzenie do dyskusji

Author(s): Pawel Grzywna / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2017

This work tackles the issue of health security analysed in social policy studies. The first part contains reflections on terminology. The author endeavours to define the category of security, among others in the context of values and social needs. He also presents the analysis of security from the perspective of a sector approach, showing the variety of types of security and referring to the concept of human security. Thereafter, the author outlines political connotations of this sector of security, which determine social perception of the functioning of the health care system. Notions that determine the scope of health security – including the right to health care and equality of access to health care services – have become the main issues in the author’s reflections. The choice of notions has helped formulate the definitional scope of the term of health security. In the next part, the author presents the ways of interpreting the notion of security in social policy studies. Another objective of this work is to reflect upon principal issues that condition the problematic field of health security, since the author has underlined basic elements that make health security significant for social policy, has delineated the model of monitoring dangers of health security and has pointed to the role of the category of health security as a cognitive device. This work is addressed to the circle ofpeople interested in the subject areas of health security and social policy, policymakers, and institutions responsible for shaping health security of citizens.

Bizantyński epos dla średnio zaawansowanych. "Katomyomachia" Teodora Prodromosa jako tekst trzeciego stopnia

Author(s): Katarzyna Warcaba / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2017

The analysis of Homer’s influence upon the literatures of various periods and societies is one of the most extensive research subjects associated with literary reception. The Iliad and the Odyssey remain until today one of the most recognisable literary works which arose in European culture, and the research in the poems themselves has been conducted continuously, from the beginning of the existence of philology as a field of study. Unarguably, Homer was also the most popular author in Byzantium, which is testified by the very number of the manuscripts which contain works which are ascribed to the Poet. He was present at all stages of education, although only few people studied the great works of the Greek master in earnest. The majority of the students – the future intellectuals of Constantinople – engaged above all the first book of the Iliad or summaries of this part, whereas Batrachomyomachia, which is attributed to the Poet and which acts as a stepping stone to the reading of the epic poems was familiar to all of those who accomplished the “intermediate” stage of the system of education. In the Byzantine period the text saw the appearance of its imitator, i.e. Theodore Prodromos, the author of Katomyomachia, which is the subject of the present work. The book consists of an introductory part which includes the following: information about the author and the circumstances in which “The War Between Cats and Mice” arose, and an overview of the presence of cat and mice in ancient and Byzantine literature. The bulk of the work consists of an analysis of the text according to a transtextual approach which was put forward by Gerard Genette in an essay entitled Palimpsests. Literature in the Second Degree”. Due to the fact that Katomyomachia constitutes a literary palimpsest based on a different palimpsest, I decided to suggest a concept of a text in the third degree, in an analogous manner to Genette’s concept. The analysis leads to an attempt at establishing the possible conceptual areas for which Prodromos’s text was intended. The study is accompanied by translations of two Greek texts, Katomyomachia and a text which is attributed to Prodromos, Schede tou myos, into Polish.
