More than two thousand years ago, ancient Gandhāra saw the encounter of the Hellenistic civilisation with Buddhism. The representations of the Buddha Śākyamuni from the beginnings of our era produced in the artistic style of Gandhāra are a result of a synthesis of above all the Greek, Roman and Indo-Buddhist culture. As evidenced by research, not only these cultures made an impact on this art because elements of many other influences also entwined themselves with Indian ones in this field. The representations of the Buddha from Gandhāra are silent witnesses of the then intensive contacts between civilisations concentrated on the Silk Road.

This article is devoted to symbolic violence occurring in the international protection procedure. The study focuses on the stages of the procedure in which the asylum-seeker is granted a chance to speak for themselves, and yet is unable to represent their case effectively due to sociocultural differences. As a result, even if their life situation qualifies them for refugee status, migration offices and courts are likely to issue a negative decision. Cases in which the failure to represent oneself results from sociocultural differences are described in the article as instances of symbolic violence. Following Dell Hymes and Katrijn Maryns, I stress the role of language-related inequality. I also employ Harold Garfinkel’s concept of degradation ceremonies in order to describe the ritual aspect of language use in statements of grounds for refusal of applications for international protection. The article is based on empirical research including a case study of an asylum-seeker family who applied for protection in Poland in the 2010s, participant observation in a free legal support centre run by a Warsaw-based NGO, and qualitative interviews with activists supporting refugees as their representatives and legal advisors.

The village of Belostok is known as one of originally Polish villages in Siberia. As it is today, only one woman in the village (from the oldest generation) still speaks dialectal Polish, and another one remembers Polish prayers. This article attempts to reconstruct the original sociolinguistic situation in the village, including the use of Polish at home, at church and at school. It is based on published documents and interviews with the two villagers recorded in 2016–2017.

The informational age is marked by the Internet and the media as key factors, with complex mutual interactions. However, they are recognized to increasingly produce negative consequences, such as Problematic Internet Use (PIU) and its inadequate media portrayal. This study represents a comprehensive approach on the media portrayal of PIU via content analysis of national daily newspapers in eight countries from the Eurasian continent. The cross-sectional research included predefined intervals in 2014 and 2018. The search retrieved212 articles with balanced distribution for designated periods, and predominant publishing in the largest countries. The results revealed that the articles with neutral narratives and national scopes are the most frequent, while the coverage on youth risks (like cyberbullying and excessive social media use) is predominant. This study is a pioneer attempt to give multinational and multi-layered portrayal on the stories that grab the media attention, dictate public interest and guide health policies

The article presents theoretical and methodological constructions of the analytics of the phenomenon of identity, modernized socio-cultural determinants of the content of European identity, updated the logic of transformation from the national-ethnic, historical and cultural principles of the interpretation of identity to modern politically motivated conceptualizations. The specificity of the discursive procedures of European identity in contemporary philosophical inventions is explored. The globalization context (one’s Asian-European dimension) was discovered on the problem of identity clash at the perspectives of Chinese geopolitical strategies (One Belt, One Road Initiative). The results of World Values Survey were interpreted for substantiation of conclusions.

The starting theoretical basis of this study is Bourdieu's theory. The research covers the following areas of family life: distribution of family roles and authorities, marital and family conflicts, connection of families with the social environment, and satisfaction with family life. Two main goals of the research have been set to:- describe the functioning of Montenegrin families in the above five areas of everyday life;- to examine the connection between the functioning of Montenegrin families in the above five areas with class-layer affiliation A randomized stratified sample for this study consisted of 805 respondents from the Northern, Central, Southern regions and Podgorica. In the first instance, municipalities were elected, in the second polling stations, and in the third instance, respondents from each polling station. A special questionnaire was constructed for the purposes of this research. All respondents are classified into eight strata according to class - class affiliation: upper class, experts, small private individuals and self - employed, civil servants and technicians, skilled and skilled workers, skilled and skilled workers, farmers and members of the subclass. Due to the very weak response of medium-sized, and especially large entrepreneurs, these layers were not included in the research. The results of the research indicate that there have been significant changes in the everyday life of Montenegrin families, primarily in family decision-making. Women still do most of the family work. Changes in that area of everyday life are less than in family decision-making in which men are not always dominant. Moreover, the most important change in the daily life of families is in the sphere of decision-making, where female family members get significantly greater rights, and in the "lower" social strata, older female relatives of husbands, especially grandmothers, which is a kind of cultural anachronism, given the Montenegrin patriarchal heritage. Relationships in Montenegrin families are very conflicted and are conditioned by the loss of dominant positions of men in families. Conflicts over the acquisition and spending of funds, housing problems and parental disagreement in methods of raising children are particularly pronounced. It is especially important to emphasize that there are very significant class-layer differences in all these areas of everyday life of Montenegrin families, especially in the assessment of parental satisfaction with everyday life, which is in line with Bourdieu's theoretical heritage.

The authors analyze scientific-theoretical approaches and family practices on intergenerational relationships in the family, which inevitably involve considering the relationship between adult children and their elderly parents. The conflict of roles within the moral intergenerational solidarity of the members of the modern-day sandwich generation is also considered, and the moral responsibility of adult children towards older parents is critically considered. The paper aims to raise the critical question of whether multigenerational families in the 21st century fulfill the function of moral, emotional, social, physical or material support to their older members. Unlike family-parent relationships, which are justifiably important, mutual relationships and care for the quality of life of the elderly are a marginalized aspect of life at the family and social levels. In order to encourage adult children and younger generations to establish better relations with older family members, this paper also includes some practical possibilities for implementing contemporary scientific knowledge and research experiences in the field of pedagogical-andragogical aspects of strengthening positive intergenerational relationships. The role of a positive approach to family policies and education, regardless of age, is increasingly gaining importance at European and national levels, however, despite the bright examples, it sometimes remains largely at the declarative level. From whatever aspect we approach - historical, sociological, pedagogical, political, theological or any other aspect, traditional or modern – consideration of the family, one of the oldest social institutions, has remained a relevant topic and source of research. The social policy of European countries is also broadly focused on the basic unit of every society – family and "family issues"

This article explores the literary writing of ethnographers, a genre that has not yet been systematically researched in Polish sociocultural anthropology. The theoretical framework of the article is built on the concepts of reflexivity and auto-ethnography. Its main goal was to trace these issues in three texts of female Polish ethnographers in the first half of the twentieth century. These authors represent three different structural situations in the field: a European researcher in a colonial context (Maria Czaplicka), a member of the intelligentsia studying peasants (Kazimiera Zawistowicz-Adamska), and an amateur “native ethnographer” in her own community (Maria Pilchówna). One of the results of the analysis is inventing the concept of “emphatic hegemony” grasping the situation when an empathic and sympathetic observer can be also a dominant and patronizing writer, even if she is a woman. Another feature of the analyzed texts lies in their patriotic subtext.

The article aims to outline the role of literary periodicals in the social system of literature from a perspective of processes that take part in the accumulation of both cultural capital and social capital. In this sense, the paper is an attempt to incorporate a sociological perspective into the theory of literature in order to provide a more informed view on social and cultural processes that are mediated by literary periodicals of diversified kind. By referring to the notions of embodied and institutional cultural capital (Pierre Bourdieu) as well as social capital (Robert D. Putnam, Francis Fukuyama), the paper examines the dialectic of system reproduction and morphogenetic change in terms of processes that organize the functioning of literature conceived of a specific kind of social system.

New directions in the political organization of the world, at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, will highlight the social class of the bourgeois-capitalist clan under an already recognizable categorization - civil society. Direct criticism of such a society and its order will become the backbone of almost all literary forms of expression. A realistic account of all the negativities that will crystallize by illustrating family decadence: fornication, deceit, crime, will initiate the process of demystifying the social phenomenon of "harmonious and impeccable community", the basic unit of society, family. The need for absolute honesty and recognition of the truth about the real situation in which European society has found itself, will launch, in a spontaneous, new wave of artistic representation of reality, which will itself manifest itself in decadence.This paper will attempt to prove the importance of the artistic experience of the great changes that have taken place in the collision of centuries and the beginning of a turbulent time in which humanity will be found. Drama was chosen as a specific feature of the literary genre, which could explicitly present key events on the stage, thematically stay very current and in the modern age.The Glembay cycle of Miroslav Krleža was, therefore, modeled after the Nordic school of the 1990s and the avant-garde writers of that time, Henry Ibsen (family drama) and August Strindberg (dream drama), Nordics, who would launch their own conceptual forms not only in literature but also in a whole new projection of art, entirely new themes, concerning the relationship between society and family, their separation and the individual placed at the center of tragic events. In addition to the direct influence of the Nordic writers H. Ibsen and A. Strindberg, and the comparative determinants of M. Krleža's advantage over them, this paper seeks to show the influence of socio-political turmoil on the artistic creation of playwrights at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

At the dawn of a new millennium, there is growing hope that relationships between people will be increasingly inspired by the ideal of a truly universal brotherhood. Unless this ideal is shared, there will be no way to ensure a stable peace. There are many signs which suggest that this conviction is becoming more deeply rooted in people’s minds. The importance of fraternity is proclaimed in the great ‘charters’ of human rights; it is embodied in great international institutions, particularly the United Nations; and it is called for, as never before, by the process of globalization which is leading to a progressive unification of the economy, culture and society.

Na początku nowego tysiąclecia żywsza staje się nadzieja, że ludzie w swoich wzajemnych odniesieniach będą się w coraz większej mierze kierować ideałem prawdziwie powszechnego braterstwa. Jeśli ideał ten nie stanie się celem wspólnych dążeń, nie uda się ustanowić trwałego pokoju. Wiele jest oznak pozwalających sądzić, że to przekonanie zakorzenia się coraz głębiej w ludzkiej świadomości.

The presented analysis juxtaposes a half-peripheral, essentially dystopian masculinity depicted in a Polish fantasy universe (including over 30 volumes by Polish and Russian authors of both genders) and a projected (utopian?) masculinity at the heart of another universe, most of all addressed to girls. Visions of masculinity presented in both the universes are the bases of comparative analysis conducted in the article. The differences between the considered warriors are made conspicuous within a few spheres of their relations and actions, from their purity and body care, to their attitudes to women and erotic relationships they engage in. What concludes the article is the analysis of the protagonists’ and narrators reactions to non-heteronormative behaviours (trace amounts of which appear in the world of the Factory Zone [Polish: Fabryczna Zona] novels, yet feature opulently and overtly in Shadowhunters).

The article deals with the possibilities of early British punk perception, primarily as an outgrowth of popular culture. It is considered that it emerges under its auspices and that it follows its basic guidelines. However, punk appears as its criticism as well, especially of some popular culture genres that preceded punk. In that way, punk establishes as a form of musical subculture. In Yugoslavia, this genre of music appeared, following the lead of British role model, enriching it with classical and avant-garde artistic interventions. The author tries, based on the sketching of socio-cultural context in which punk rises, to understand and interpret the actual presence of politics and its position within the phenomenon of punk rock.
