The main focus in this study is the unique individual reception of the Expressionism in some of Eugene O'Neill’s plays from the 1920s: "The Emperor Jones" (1920) and "The Hairy Ape" (1922). A strong source of influence is August Strindberg and his experiments at the Chamber Theater in Stockholm. This can be traced by pointing out common thematic and stylistic features in Strindberg's trilogy "The Road to Damascus" and O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones". Another major source of influence is the German Expressionist movement from the first quarter of the 20th century, especially some of the leading playwrights like Georg Kaiser and Ernst Toller. Yet another source of influence are the German Expressionistic films of R. Wiene, F. Lang and Murnau, which followed most of the principles of the avant-garde trend.

The art historian prof. Irina Genova traces the history of AICA (Association internationale des critiques d’art) and focuses on its congress in Poland (Warsaw and Krakow) in 1960. The carefully chosen topic of the congress, “International Character of Contemporary Art”, meant to provide a meeting point for Western European and Eastern European artists and to open the post-Stalinist Eastern art scene to the contemporary tendencies of the abstract painting. The situation was different in the different countries. The research draws a parallel between the quite open Polish scene and the more conservative and closed Bulgarian one and the reception the congress had in those two contexts.

There is a separate segment in 3D computer graphics called product visualization. In general, product visualization includes various activities, such as modeling, animation, lighting, prototyping and shape analysis, technical drawings and sketches, as well as product documentation. This type of visualization has been used a lot lately, especially in the presentation of new electronic products, food, household goods, print advertising, billboards, websites, video networks, television. It turns out that it is much more convenient, and also more cost-effective, to recreate a product in 3D and then visualize it realistically. This gives much more freedom in recreating different, in many cases impossible in reality situations, related to the presented object - for example, levitation, morphing between different forms and other similar special effects. Three-dimensional visualization allows instant change of materials, backgrounds, use of many and varied cameras to recreate different points of view of an object. In many cases, the visualization of a particular product precedes its physical creation. This allows the manufacturer to detect possible defects in it and improve its product on time.This article aims to acquaint the reader with the methods of lighting and composition of product design visualization used in classical photography, and to compare them with the ways of reproducing reality in the three-dimensional software for realistic visualization 3D Studio MAX, as well as to give guidelines for proper sequence of actions in creating a virtual photo studio, by explanation of the main factors for quality and realistic reproduction of three-dimensional product design.

In the time we live in, music is a cult. The musical style brings with it not only the worldview, but also the whole lifestyle of its listeners. Very often walking on the streets we can see girls with Rihanna's hair or boys dressed as Justin Bieber. But this is by no means a novelty or a fashion - the music that is listened to reflects on the appearance. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, considered to be one of the symbols of the 60's and recognized as the most innovative and popular performers in the history of pop music, are considered to be one of the first major music waves to flood in and create their own style. As a period, the time in which the two bands quickly gained popularity coincided with the mass distribution of television. The performers quickly imposed their own lifestyle, behavior and dress, supporting the idea of avant-garde music of their time

The article reconstructs the model of discourse present in Polish culture since the 1940s. Border Street (1949) is one of the first implementations of this model. An antisemite who becomes a righteous gentile is a pars pro toto of the Polish community. Violence is invoked, but its range is limited: Polish antisemitism stops when it comes to harming Jews. Violence that was, according to historical research, the dominant behavior toward Jews during the Nazi occupation is presented as an exteriorized exception. Two other Polish films of the same type are discussed in the article: Just beyond this Forest (1991) and In Darkness (2011).

The main name and the set of the headings of Masha and the Bear animated film, as elements of the paratext, play an essential role in determining the characteristic properties of a product. They point to the national and cultural factors conditioning the animated film which manifest themselves on various (audio and video) levels of information transfer. The set of the headings is characterised by a high level of saturation with national and cultural elements such as sayings, phrases, quotations from classic literary works as well as from folklore, quotations from the songs which the Russian audience is familiar with, allusions to films and other television broadcasts. The translation of such names is more difficult and poses a real challenge for the translator. Three types of translation have been observed: literal translation, free translation and substitution. At the same time, it was neutralisation that was the leading strategy of translating headlines containing national and cultural elements. One of the justifications for the approach selected may be the type of the audience – children who – because of their insufficient cognitive experience – will not be able to decipher the coded connotations.
