"Articulations of Trauma: Andrzej Strug and Tadeusz Konwicki" is a monograph devoted to the prose of the writers who have experienced war. These works allow us to capture a certain complexity, a weave in which such a strong sensation of sublime meets that it overwhelms, overpowers and renders speechless. A traumatic event can only be understood as such in hindsight, through reminiscences, repetitions. The consequence of this strong, sudden sensation is a stretching in time, a delay inherent in the trauma. Thus, the sublime, which is itself a strong affect, paradoxically results in weak articulation, understatement, weakness of experience.
More...Keywords: lightness; weight; movement; Bolesław Leśmian; Julian Przyboś; Tymoteusz Karpowicz
The book contains texts devoted to writers who are familiar with the ambivalence of lightness and weight. These artists take a pen to seek a remedy for the burden of life, and above all to escape the inertia that is imparted to the word. The effort to overcome what weighs heavily, undertaken (with varying results) by the presented authors – Bolesław Leśmian, Julian Przyboś and Tymoteusz Karpowicz, is an expression of openness to what is multiple and variable, a specific praise of movement that liberates from tension, the movement which allows us to constantly immerse ourselves in vitality of life.
More...Keywords: family; marriage covenant; bonds; upbringing; loneliness; self-realization
The concept of the monograph was created on the basis of the observation of contemporary world and the changes taking place in it. In the postmodern world, the concepts of human nature, family, community, love, development, freedom have been redefined – in the face of intensively changing cultural, economic, political and health phenomena. For centuries the family has been the basic source of shaping the attitudes of individuals, but now these natural processes have been degraded in favor of the progressive visions of man and society. The changes affected the family structure, its functions, rules of conduct and value systems. The monograph presents a multifaceted analysis of changes in marriage and family from the following scientific perspectives: philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, theology and canon law.

The spatial layouts of former border railway urbanized centers are presented from an interdisciplinary perspective referring to fields such as socio-economic geography, historical studies, urban planning, architecture, industry, migration, and cultural diversity. The monograph integrates historical studies of urbanized centers developed as a result of the influence of a railway station and state border with the problem of contemporary spatial development of the surroundings of such railway stations as cultural heritage. In addition, the book proposes a model and typological approach explaining the processes taking place in the studied urbanized centers.
More...Keywords: graphic novel; comics; adaptation; Conrad; Heart of Darkness; popular culture; intertextuality
Adaptations seem to be ubiquitous in contemporary culture. The present monograph touches upon the subject of widely understood adaptations in relation to Joseph Conrad’s life and work. Most definitions of adaptation operate on the assumption that it is a literary work which constitutes the seed of an adaptation. The author argues, however, that biographies of writers have also become fully-fledged cultural texts and, similarly to literary texts, may be subject to adaptation. The biography of Joseph Conrad-Korzeniowski constitutes rich adaptation material, in which sensational plots overlap with adventures, and dramatic events (including love stories) interweave with comedic ones. It comes as no surprise, then, that many artists have drawn on this arsenal of motifs, have tapped into this arsenal of motifs, choosing their favorite episodes and fleshing them out or dramatizing them to transform them in their works. The monograph constitutes an analysis of the transformation of Conrad’s figure (and his works) by contemporary artists within five categories: graphic novels (Heart of Darkness. A Graphic Novel by C. Anyango and D.Z. Mairowitz, Congo by T. Tirabosco and Ch. Perrissin, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness by P. Kuper and Au coeur des ténèbres by S. Miquel and L. Godart), comic books (The Amazing Tales by J. Conrad, Ł. Godlewski and M. Jasiński), literary appropriations (Heart of Darkness by J. Dukaj, Dżozef by J. Małecki, Condition by E. Rylski), theater plays (Conrad by I. Villqist, Wyspiański/Conrad by T. Man), film scripts and radio plays (Victory by H. Pinter). Finally, the volume discusses the presence of the figure of Conrad in the context of contemporary branding, as well as the factors conducive to building a strong “Conrad” brand in contemporary Polish culture. The conducted analyses demonstrate, in turn, that not only the writer’s works, but also his biography understood as a cultural text remains present in contemporary culture, constituting an attractive and abundant source of adaptation.

Refleksje socjologiczne jest adresowana do osób zainteresowanych kształtowaniem się podmiotowości kobiet na rynku pracy zawodowej i w życiu społecznym. Inspiracją opracowania było stulecie praw wyborczych kobiet w Polsce oraz grupa tematyczna zorganizowana przez Sławomirę Kamińską-Berezowską i Dominikę Polkowską w ramach XVII Ogólnopolskiego Zjazdu Socjologicznego „Ja My, Oni? Podmiotowość, tożsamość, przynależność” we Wrocławiu. Grupę zajmowały wyzwania i doświadczenia Polek po 100 latach od uzyskania praw wyborczych. W związku z tym autorzy monografii to przede wszystkim socjolodzy, którzy wzięli udział w XVII OZS we Wrocławiu, interesujący się podmiotowością kobiet w Polsce i sprawami ich doświadczeń zawodowych. Ostatecznie jednak, dla uzyskania pewnego dystansu w spojrzeniu na kwestie funkcjonowania społeczno-zawodowego kobiet w III RP, zdecydowano się zaprezentować także współczesne wyzwania związane z kobiecym dążeniem do podmiotowości w innych krajach.

Książka Andrzeja Porzuczka poświęcona jest analizie relacji czasowych pomiędzy elementami frazy intonacyjnej w wymowie angielskiej zaawansowanego ucznia polskiego. Celem autora było wykazanie i opisanie różnic w tym zakresie między polskim uczniem a rodzimym użytkownikiem języka angielskiego oraz ich interpretacja w kontekście glottodydaktycznym.Część teoretyczna pracy (rozdziały 1—3) omawia historię i stan badań nad prozodią języka mówionego oraz metodologię akustycznych badań mowy. Część praktyczna natomiast (rozdziały 4—7) przedstawia oparte na dyskusji z części teoretycznej założenia metodologiczne, hipotezy badawcze oraz materiał językowy wybrany do analizy, po czym autor w sposób wyczerpujący prezentuje i omawia wyniki swoich badań.Autor zaobserwował m.in.: wyraźnie dłuższy czas trwania elementów nieakcentowanych w wymowie Polaków oraz większą u rodzimych użytkowników języka angielskiego tendencję do wyrównywania czasu trwanie stopy rytmicznej. Badania nie wykazały z kolei wyraźnych różnic w bezwzględnej długości samogłosek i sylab akcentowanych (z wyjątkiem sylab akcentowanych na końcu frazy, gdzie są one znacznie dłuższe w wymowie rodowitych Anglików).Przedstawione w pracy Andrzeja Porzuczka rezultaty badań oraz wykorzystanie zastosowanych w nich metod mogą posłużyć do identyfikacji konkretnych problemów w przyswajaniu obcej wymowy, jak również wprowadzić element obiektywizmu do zazwyczaj impresjonistycznej oceny warstwy prozodycznej wymowy języka obcego.

Although the interpretation of legal rules has a direct impact on the content of judicial decisions, law of interpretation has not yet been the subject of a monographic study in Polish legal theory. The author describes the status of interpretative directives in various legal cultures (e.g. Poland, Spain, Australia, USA, Great Britain, Ireland and Latin America) and analyses the problems caused by enacting interpretative directives. She puts forward proposals for the creation of the law of interpretation and analyses the nature of interpretative directives. An important advantage of the work is the reference to a wide range of literature and jurisprudence from many jurisdictions.

Zamieszczone w niniejszym tomie materiały stanowią pokłosie sesji naukowej: "Rzeźba na Śląsku w 2. połowie XVII w." zorganizowanej 20.01.2017. w Muzeum Miedzi w Legnicy. Przedsięwzięcie to miało szczególny charakter, bowiem rzeźba barokowa - potraktowana jako temat przewodni - rzadko staje się obiektem zainteresowań badawczych. Niniejsza książka nie pretenduje do prezentacji kompleksowych dziejów rzeźby na Śląsku na przestrzeni 2. połowy XVII w. Omawiane przez autorów zagadnienia dotyczą jednak obiektów, artystów, lub problemów pomijanych do tej pory, bądź słabo rozpoznanych, w istotnym stopniu uzupełniając i korygując stan badań, zawarty przede wszystkim w w wydanej przed ponad trzema dekadami syntezie rzeźby barokowej na Śląsku pióra prof. Konstantego Kalinowskiego. Śląsk - który w tym czasie wchodził w skład Monarchii Habsburskiej - pomimo peryferyjnego położenia względem Wiednia oraz Pragi poszczycić się może zabytkami rzeźby stojącymi na wysokim poziomie wykonania, łączącymi różnorodne inspiracje. Oprócz związków artystycznych z Czechami oraz Austrią działali tu również rzeźbiarze pochodzący, bądź posługujący się formami charakterystycznymi dla rzeźby południowoniemieckiej, morawskiej, flamandzkiej, czy francuskiej, czego owocem jest bogata mozaika artystyczna o szerokim spektrum stylowym. Znalazło się w niej miejsce dla nurtów klasycyzujących oraz dzieł antyklasycznych, w tym tzw. śląskiej maniery barokowej, silnie eksponującej walory ekspresyjne i zrośniętej z miejscową tradycją sztuki. Zjawiska artystyczne zapoczątkowane w rzeźbie śląskiej pomiędzy 1650, a 1700 r. miały swoją wspaniałą kulminację w 1. połowie XVIII w. Dokładniejsze rozpoznanie rzeźby siedemnastowiecznej - czemu służy także i ta publikacja - pozwala pełniej nakreślić kontekst dla erupcji ilościowej oraz jakościowej rzeźby, jakie miały miejsce na Śląsku około 1700 r.
More...Keywords: classification; analysis; education (upbringing, training); analytical pedagogy; care; family
The monograph proposes viewing classification as not only a cognitive process that organizes knowledge, but also one that promotes the dynamic development of science: initiating new directions, concepts, branches of science, trends, sub-disciplines, etc. In structured knowledge it is easier to detect places yet unmarked in science. Thus the object of the presented research is the significance of ordering the scientific knowledge in the form of classification in the field of social sciences, in the discipline of pedagogy. Methodological resources of hermeneutics proved to be useful in analysis and interpretation of scientific source texts and official documents. The structure of the monograph consists of the table of contents, introduction, four chapters, conclusion, bibliography, list of diagrams and tables, personal index, summary and note about the authors.
More...Keywords: poetry; word; imagination; Silesia; home; place
The book illustrates the poet's meeting with the reader and the poetic worlds they have created. It includes interpretations of poems written by artists biographically linked to Upper Silesia and the Dąbrowa Basin. They are connected not only by a common experience of place, but also by common themes: longing for the "little homeland", family peace, home (Florian Śmieja, Jan Darowski, Stanisław Horak, Tadeusz Różewicz), sincere expression of thoughts, emotions, de-sires, fears, disappointments over the most difficult matters (such as: homeland, politics, truth, woman) or attempts to tame death (Edward Zyman, Marian Kisiel, Jerzy Szymik), epiphany/metaphysics of words (Jerzy L. Woźniak, Tadeusz Sławek, Andrzej Szuba).
More...A standpoint presented in the book questioning an objectivist-essentialist understandingof a work of art typical of a formalist and modernist aesthetics. At thesame time, it criticizes autonomy, closeness and stable definition of an artistic production,and, independence from the context and receivers. “A myth of a work ofart for its own sake”, allegedly able to self-define its specificity and identity thanksto substantiality, was replaced with a perspective of contextual entanglements, inthe structure of which “artisticness” is being negotiated and construed, and notdefinitely defined and fixed. As a result, interpretative practices and discursiveprocedures constitute the centre of proposed considerations. This is a consequenceof the assumption that they constitute not only the context co-deciding about theexperience of art, but the substantial way of concretization of a work of art in thecultural reality. A constituting dimension of interpretation is thus connected withnot only the newest projects and enterprises, often of a “hesitant identity” requiringa comment and absorbing context resources, but an art as such, independently ofthe shape and type of its historical manifestations. Thus, art cannot exist for itsown sake, but only through its interpretations.

The book shows the presence and engagement of theatre art in everydaysocial life. In order to display the constant presence of theatreand theatrical activities in everyday perspective, it presents – broadly –the constitution of theatre art, both in international space and inPoland. The orientation towards a widespread presence and availability oftheatre in every historical period became the incentive towards presentingits role in social practices in the context of social pedagogy. It is anattempt to present the possibilities of employing art in the area of pedagogicaltasks.Presenting the beginnings, the institutionalization and the developmentof theatre in different geographical regions in a historical perspectivesought to illustrate the constant presence of theatrical activities in thehistory of mankind.Based on source materials, it was purposeful to show that this artform developed from the specific needs of past generations as a form ofexpression, manifesting feelings, a method of communication, and a formof fulfilling the needs of recreation and leisure. With time, theatre fulfilledincreasingly larger social, educational, and emotional-aesthetic roles. Whileperforming those functions, it became an important instrument in socialpractices: processes of education and upbringing of the younger generations,shaping and experiencing reality, and finally – nurturing moral attitudesand values.It is worth remembering that from the very beginning, theatricalauthors and creators referenced everyday human existence in their texts,utilizing both positive attitudes, experiences and situations, as well as negative,problematic phenomena, which demonstrated frailties and flaws ofthe human nature.Modern dramatic arts substantiate that this topical inclination has notdrastically changed throughout the ages; only forms of presentation andmeans of expression have altered.The work particularly spotlights social-theatrical activities at this timeof transformation, and most of all – a time of numerous social conflicts,shortages, and existential and emotional problems. The specificity of theatre– of theatre art – and its permanent curiosity of the surroundingsocial reality caused the reciprocity (intermingling) of theatre and societyto become the norm. This in turn has and still does imply a range of tasksand functions theatre can and admittedly does serve for the society andwithin its boundaries.This current of activities includes classical, alternative, and amateurtroupes, showing that theater (even in its classical form) does not lose itsideas, formulas, and artistry, engaging itself in creating positive images, aswell as “correcting”/accentuating negative phenomena in everyday socialspace through its works, subject matter, form, and presentation venues.Thus, theatre art, as well as quasi-theatrical activities become a form ofprophylaxis and compensation, a basic task of social pedagogy.In summary, the contents of this work indicates that through established,basic artistic functions, but also social and educational ones, theatrecan and does become a partner for activities of social pedagogy.

The author of Meir Ezofowicz often and willingly spoke out in social matters. A moralauthority for the contemporaries, she considered her statements on the major problems ofher times as a civic duty, the duty of a writer. Concerned or even outraged by specificevents, she very often presented magazine editors with proposals which supported initiativesshe considered valuable for the public or which expressed her indignation, particularlywhen it involved protecting the disadvantaged, showing her compassion and persuadingothers to act together against injustice. Her short papers, statements and openletters, although often emotionally influenced, were characterised by their refined form(after all, she always had to remember the hostile censor who would qualify her work aseligible for publication), balanced line of argument and a constant desire to reconciledifferent, often conflicting interests. Whilst studying the journalistic writing ofOrzeszkowa, even the shortest pieces, one might recall the thought of Emmanuel Lévinas,who believed that “understood as a set of rules for conduct founded upon the universalityof maxims or upon a hierarchically ordered system of values, morality carried within itselfa rationale”. In Orzeszkowa's discourse, focused on morality and human-centric order,rationality is always prominent.Orzeszkowa almost never made assessments – she would rather watch, analyse, sometimes(even quite often) being misled, but always driven by idealistic motives: her belief inthe existence of community, community born against centuries-old stereotypes, againsteverybody, and everything. Despite successive failed uprisings, despite growing prejudices,she believed (and this belief was presented as objective, scientifically proven truth) thathuman kind was characterised by altruism, a willingness to sacrifice themselves for thesake of the common good. Perhaps it was naiveté, but it was also a kind of a moral code,based on long-term experience and resulting feelings, which, as Hannah Arendt says“nobody could ever have with himself, which, on the contrary, are entirely based on thepresence of others”. The social journalism of Orzeszkowa, including that relating to theJewish question, must be considered in terms of duty and sacrifice, because these concepts,according to the author, involve civic and patriotic attitudes.Otherness – but not strangeness (the latter only appeared in a sketch entitled O nacyonalizmieżydowskim – On the Jewish nationalism) – of the Jews was a problem forOrzeszkowa. She believed it was just temporary, and could be compensated throughproviding widespread access to education, which was to lead in turn to a degradation ofthe authority of the rabbis who, exploiting their position, attempted to impose the supremacyof religious over secular education. The mere assumption seems paradoxical, butthe writer believed that creating schools for future generations would lead to the formationof assimilated Jewish intelligentsia (an educated class). She did not even take intoconsideration the Haskalah – whose activity was in fact what she so eagerly awaited, evendesired. Perhaps this is because she did not consider the results of that activity to besufficiently recognisable in the public space?Political and social forecasts of Orzeszkowa are often inaccurate; they contain a largeamount of imagination and sometimes even naive delusions – but these are not the forecaststhat make Orzeszkowa's writing about the Jewish question valuable. The key value,and what occurred very infrequently in those times, is that Orzeszkowa attempted toprovide an objective image of the life of Polish Jews, as well as the irrational motives,located on both sides, which prevented reconciliation, mutual understanding and jointaction. She considered the Jewish question in conjunction with the history of Poland, anddid not regard that minority as a priori hostile or harmful.
