Walbrzych. Miasto jako palimsest

Author(s): Anna Róźa Burzyńska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 04/2013

W spektaklu Sebastiana Majewskiego Wujek z Luandy (premiera w teatrze Scena Witkacego w reżyserii autora, 2009) czwórka wymalowanych na czarno aktorów opowiada o tym, jak po polityczno-metaforycznej „powodzi” 1989 roku mieszkańcy Wałbrzycha zostali wysiedleni na wschodni Pacyfik, by tam założyć afrykańską filię swojego rodzinnego miasta. W parafrazującym fabułę słynnego serialu z czasów PRL Czterej pancerni i pies dramacie Niech żyje wojna! Pawła Demirskiego (wystawionym w Teatrze Dramatycznym w Wałbrzychu przez Monikę Strzępkę, 2009) jeden z bohaterów – śląski górnik Gustlik – okazuje się śpiewającą bluesa Murzynką. W jednej z najnowszych premier wałbrzyskiego teatru, Mieście duchów (tekst: Piotr Rowicki, reżyseria: Arkadiusz Buszko, 2013) legendarną w tych rejonach historyczną postać księżnej Daisy gra czarnoskóra aktorka. Skąd wzięły się te ekscentryczne pomysły?

Preparing Teachers to Teach Music in Early Childhood Education – Research Report

Przygotowanie nauczycieli do prowadzenia zajęć muzycznych w edukacji wczesnoszkolnej – raport z badań

Author(s): Anna Pękala / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1 (31)/2014

Keywords: teacher; early school education; music education;competences;

Pedagogical theorists are unanimous in their views concerning the importance of properly preparing teachers for their profession. In order to shape pupils’ personalities in an effective way, teachers are required to possess certain skills, as well as the appropriate personal characteristics. This applies to all teachers of all subjects, so that music teachers at various levels of education are by no means an exception. Teaching music education requires certain knowledge and skills, combining as it does a cognitive grasp of the musical art itself with the expression of one’s own experience. The author of this article is engaged in preparing teachers for their role in educating schoolchildren during the childhood stage. She must therefore be aware of the degree to which her work meets the requirements of her students. For this reason, she has conducted research based on a group of 120 working teachers. The questionnaire contained questions that together furnish the following picture: teachers appreciate the didactic and educational functions of their subject; teachers appreciate both the substantive and methodological preparation acquired at university and the professional experience gained in practice. The knowledge gained in the course of their studies constitutes the foundation for their further professional development; various forms of vocational training are popular among students; the conducting of classes is hindered by both a poor ability to play instruments and a limited knowledge of the musical literature; music is used not only for music classes, but also during Polish language classes, fine arts and physical education. It is an element of games and school breaks, and is also used for relaxation purposes; one drawback of studies is the excessively short period of practical preparation for conducting music classes. The research reflects a certain aspect of reality. The conclusions reached will be deployed to enhance the author's own workshops, and as part of an attempt to draw the attention of those responsible for the quality of educational processes at this level of education to the problem at hand.

In terms of pedagogical work, therapy through art is a pedagogical strategy applied in the process of up bringing which supports the integration process of the personality. The basic therapeutic advantage in the case of fine arts is to be found in the art workshop, i.e. through the materials and tools therein.

Children who are involved in classes of this type have a sense of satisfaction rooted in the fact that they are able to do something. It affects the improvement in their self-assessment and their sense of well-being. They are learning to understand one another, to listen, to talk, to cooperate with one another.

Keywords: neighbourhood city life; urban ecosystem; sensitive occurrence; sensitive component

The author believes, that the human being orientation in the surrounding reality and its actions within it in the essential extent are dependent on the speaker’s sensitive component. The demonstration of the work of the given sensitive pragmatic system, is done on the few text examples from the Internet forums, related to neighborhood life in the urban ecosystem. The work is considered as a first step into this issue. The categories of the sensitive (anonymous – famous, past – present – future, top and bottom and so forth), while there is no related common system, are outlined; the further work toward more detailed definition is necessary and planned in the future. The basement of the aforementioned categories, the sensations, has for the speaker a sense of orientation, although being not in fact realized; this in turn requires a specific description language, which is a topic for the future work.

Is Neurosis a Private Language?

Is Neurosis a Private Language?

Author(s): Paweł Gwiaździński / Language(s): English / Issue: 13/2016

Keywords: neurosis; psychoanalysis; private language; Freud; Habermas;

Sigmund Freud`s psychoanalysis was an extremely complex project in the field of research into the human psyche. His work is not only the proposition of a completely unusual solution to the dilemma of behaviour, new therapy – the talking cure – as one of his patients named it, but also a whole new hermeneutics, and theory of symbol. In this paper I would like to focus mainly on the latter, and investigate an idea of Jürgen Habermas, that neurosis could be understood as a private language. For this I would like to make use of Wittgenstein’s metaphor of language as a game, plus further analyse his argument of private language, to which Habermas refers, I would then like to investigate the way in which Freud defines neurosis. In conclusion I shall investigate the interpretation of therapeutic process by Habermas, as I believe it is the core of this problem.

Author(s): Anna Rej-Kietla,Sandra Kryska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

Protection of personal data is primarily due to the Polish Constitution, which mentions the right to privacy. Civil, criminal, and some elements of administrative law offer more on this subject. The keeping of medical records in paper or electronic form is one form of processing personal data. The main condition which allows the processing of this type of information is the consent of the data subject. The specific nature of sensitive data is the reason that consent must be expressed in writing, otherwise the agreement is ineffective. Health information contained in medical records is confidential data. Doctors and medical staff must ensure that the data is protected against unauthorized access. Those who reveal information about your health are subject to criminal penalties.

Okna pamięci – filmowy krajobraz nostalgiczny

Author(s): Karolina Kostyra / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2017

Keywords: nostalgia film; landscape in cinema; nostalgia

In my article I present three strategies, in which landscape of nostalgia film is constructed. The main characteristic of this kind of landscape is mechanism of mediation between subject and object of loss. Starting from theories of nostalgia, I notice that aesthetics of nostalgia film is often produced by window figure. By referring to chosen examples of nostalgia film, I distinguish three main strategies, in which window figure is used as mediator between the present and the past. I metaphorically call them window–museum case, dusty windowpane and window–portal.

Chris Marker is a traveler who, since the very beginning of his artistic career, has visited the whole world with his camera: from China, through Siberia, Moscow, to Europe and South America. Along with the development of new technologies he also changed his tools of learning about reality, however, he did not leave his original interests in diversity, political situation or creating reality by media. His travels led him to the landscape of virtual reality, thus completing the range of beings and landscapes possible to see. Therefore, the article will deal with the issues connected with the correlation between landscape and technology which mediates it, with memory of landscape which is shaped by technology, a director and the landscape itself.

Education for sustainable development (ESD) in the opinion of teachers of classes 1–3

Edukacja dla zrównoważonego rozwoju (EZR) w opinii nauczycieli klas 1–3

Author(s): Izabela Bieńkowska,Małgorzata Kitlińska-Król / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 9/2016

Keywords: education sustainable development; teacher;

Rapid progress that emerged in the twentieth century brought not only the intense economic and social development, but also the numerous threats with a strong and largely traumatic potential, that affects not only the whole society, but also each of its members. While thinking about possible threats it is necessary to mention such as a high rate of unemployment, social differentiation, environmental degradation, destabilizing the system, relativization and/or even depreciation of everyday values and many others. There is a need for a wider debate on the future of humanity and the legacy that we leave to future generations. The social changes we observe in fact also applies to the transformations that take place in our families and in the whole system of education. What is necessary is a new look at the whole systemic education, the forms of training of a man that remains open, informed, critical but also creative; somebody who will prioritize the good of others and respect what we have around us. Such education is part of the concept of sustainable development.

The article presents deaths in the Rzeszów parish between the years 1876–1913, based on the parish register. Attention was paid to facts, which could confirm (or deny) the process of the first demographic transition. This took place in Galicja at the turn of the 20th century and was marked by a decrease in death intensity, a subsequent increase in birth rate followed by temporary high population growth, only to establish a low, stable level in the final phase. The analysis takes into account the population of the parish, the number of deaths, death rate, stillbirths, structure of deaths according to sex, age and causes of death, along with the average age of the deceased. Statistical methods were used.

On the Translation of the Author’s Song Titles (On the Material of Vladimir Vysotsky’s and Bulat Okudzhava’s Works)

O tłumaczeniu tytułów piosenek autorskich (na materiale twórczości Włodzimierza Wysockiego i Bułata Okudżawy)

Author(s): Szymon Bryzek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: author song; translation; translation strategy

The titles of works mainly have an identifying function – they highlight text among other texts. However, in addition, depending on the genre, the title of a work may also perform other functions. So, in the literary tradition of the author’s song, the title of the song is closely related to the text, being a kind of “introduction” to the text, it draws attention to its meaning, emphasizes what the author conveys in the text. Our article deals with the translation strategies of the song title by the Polish translators of the works of Vladimir Vysotsky and Bulat Okudzhava. We analyze the trends we observe in their translation (omissions, substitutions, additions, literal translation) and try to give an answer as to how they affect the perception of the text.

The role and types of texts and their function in sects

Rola i rodzaje tekstów funkcjonujących w sektach

Author(s): Kamilla Termińska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: conversion;moral rigor;discipline

This article discusses the topic of the way texts function in the sects of the Catholic Church. An anthropological and linguistic analysis referring to the contemporary times has been presented. Sects produce and employ a quasi-religious language and also establish strong intragroup ties. Moreover, they are able to change their identity and have a strong background both in the tradition of the Church's history and new age cultural air. Depending on the functions they perform, I distinguish 1. authenticating and founding texts/statutes, 2. texts marking a stark and rigorous contrast: familiar: stranger 3. texts determining the intragroup role division. The analyses have been made on the basis of materials obtained from Dominikańskie Centrum Informacji o Nowych Ruchach Religijnych i Sektach [the Dominican Center of Information on New Religious Movements and Sects], as well as on numerous publications (including Internet sources), leaflets, brochures and interviews with informants who wanted to preserve their anonymity.

Nature – a Medium of Value in a Constructivist Pedagogy

Nature – a Medium of Value in a Constructivist Pedagogy

Author(s): Elżbieta Buchcic / Language(s): English / Issue: I/2020

Keywords: nature; medium; constructivist pedagogy; value; formal education; non-formal education;

In Polish pedagogy, at the time of change, there is a reflection on the way of educating young people and on the need of creating a new educational system. Groundbreaking systems and educational methods are being searched for. The new ones are being created but also the old proven ways that have permanently made the educational process, both in formal and informal education, are used again. In the article, it is brought to attention that nature is an inherent element of every human’s life and should be a value to them. It should also be kept in mind that knowledge is not only facts, laws and theories drawn from observation of phenomenons and occurrences but is also the ability to use it rationally and to interpret information in everyday life. Using premises of constructivist pedagogy in formal and informal education, one can or even should form axiological paradigms of nature.
