The travellers, diplomats, missionaries and academics who have written on the Kurds have always shown a remarkable fascination with the Yezidis. The great Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi, who in the mid-seventeenth century wrote so extensively on diverse aspects of Kurdish culture, social life and political organisation that he may well be called the first Kurdologist, was also one of the first to write some tantalising observations on customs and practices of the Yezidis he encountered. He also reports in some detail on two punitive campaigns mounted by Ottoman governors against the Yezidis of Sinjar, in one of which he played a minor role himself. Christian missionaries based in Kurdistan were drawn to the Yezidis as the major non-Muslim and non-Christian community and fascinated by what they understood of its elusive theology. Two of the founders of West European academic Kurdology, C. J. Edmonds and Roger Lescot, devoted some of their major work to the Yezidis, and most Kurdish experts have felt the need to pay due attention to the Yezidi religion. Several of the ideologists of Kurdish nationalism, finally, have elevated the Yezidis to the status of most authentic Kurds. For more has been written about the Yezidis and their religion than about the religious practices and institutions of the Muslim Kurds, reflecting a bias among both foreign academics and secular Kurdish nationalists.

The editorial articulates a suspicion that had Schulz lived long enough, possibly even until today, he would have been greatly surprised by his growing fame abroad, like perhaps many other twentieth-century schlemiel-heroes of literature and the humanities, such as Kafka, de Saussure, Propp or Bakhtin. The present number of "Schulz/Forum" is then introduced as a collective testimony of his popularity outside the Polish language.

Schulz studies were born of rapture. In 1943 Jerzy Ficowski wrote a short study on Bruno Schulz, bound it, and titled it "Regions of Great Heresy". That event can be now called the founding act of Schulz studies. Commenting on his work many years later, Ficowski realized that its permanent element was his rapture and the title to be assigned to more and more comprehensive versions of his early study. Schulz had attracted the critics’ interest already before, but the early critical reviews were all in one way or another involved in current literary debates in which Schulz represented the “regions of great heresy.” His death in 1942 changed the situation immediately since it excluded him from any future dialog. Not knowing about it, Ficowski wrote a letter to Schulz, hoping that the writer would respond, but the dead do not write letters. His rapture Ficowski translated into his study of Schulz. Today we know that it was a work of his lifetime, thanks to which Schulz, after years of marginalization and even absence, survived in literature. Ficowski was the founder of Schulz studies. Many readers have approached his Regions of Great Heresy as a document, a genuine source of information. Equally important is a trilogy also prepared by Ficowski, including, first, the "Book of Letters", second, the "Book of Images", and now it is high time we had the "Book of Memories". It should consist of the letters wrritten to Ficowski by the witnesses of Schulz’s life.

Eva-Sabine Zehelein we wprowadzeniu do publikacji Family in Crisis? stwierdza: Rodziny, we wszystkich swoich wielobarwnych odsłonach i stylach życia — jedno- i wielopokoleniowe, z hetero-, homo- lub transseksualnymi dorosłymi/rodzicami — są fundamentalnymi i niezbywalnymi elementami życia i aktywności społecznej. […] Rodziny są więc idealnym pryzmatem, przez który można obserwować najważniejsze współczesne zjawiska, zarówno narodowe, jak i międzynarodowe czy ponadnarodowe, ba, nawet zjawiska globalne, ich wzajemne powiązania i kryzysy, i poddawać je pod dyskusję. Wierzymy, że badanie problematyki rodzinnej wymaga perspektywy interdyscyplinarnej i ujęcia przekrojowego. Takie przedsięwzięcie może wydawać się kontrowersyjne, ma jednak zasadnicze znaczenie dla kształtowania przyszłości naszych społeczeństw. (Zehelein 2020: 9, przeł. A.Z.)

The founding motto of philosophy in science is “tracking down big philosophical problems in contemporary science.” Knowing the basic history of philosophy and the history of science, we more or less know what “big philosophical topics” mean. The most representative topics of this kind include: time, space, causality, matter, life, consciousness, thinking... The tables of contents of philosophy textbooks could be copied to continue this list. These topics are big not only when they remain at a high level of generality, but also when they get down to special cases and particular sub-problems. Sometimes it is only then that they fully reveal their big format.
