A gorilla is hurling barrels after a plumber. Almost forty years later, I am jumping around the living room, sweating, gasping, doing squats with a hoop in my hands, and thinking if it might be a better idea to exercise normally.

COVID-19 would have never been so ‘effective’ without its capacity to ‘pirate’ the global techno-economic networks: its microscopic ‘mind’ allows it to act in a macrotechnological, planetary scale. That is why the first effect of the virus was so spectacular and so disastrous: contemporary Leviathan petrified for a moment while facing its own doppelganger. This meditation on the current condition starts from a passage from Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment and continues by examining the possibilities of philosophy in times of global panic.

The monograph Krise og medansvar. Politiske Småskrifter (Crisis and Co-responsibility. Short Political Writings) is one of the last monographs of the internationally recognized philosopher Gunnar Skirbekk who begins his academic career as a research assistant for Herbert Marcuse and Avrum Stroll at the University of California. Regardless that the “short political writings” form was inspired by Habermas, Skirbekk’s “short writings” display much more than simply the incorporation of intellectual impulses from Habermas and other significant intellectuals. By referring to Foucault, Skirbekk defines his approach as a matter of adopting an “ideology-critical archeology’”, while analyzing the genealogy of different phenomena such as politics and expertise, religion and modernity, culture and identity, philosophy and eco-ethics

During the Pandemic, the World Bank estimations suggested that remittances globally would fall about 20 per cent. The live results show mixed reactions and IMF reports show significant resilience in some corridors. This is in line with our earlier studies and predictions. Regulations and restrictions keep remittances costs high and particularly higher in some corridors involving poorer countries. There are already calls to reduce the costs and make sending money home easier and attractive. In this issue of Remittances Review, Fernando César Costa Xavier discusses the terminology of irregular remittances with a particular reference to the Venezuelan immigrants’ money sending practices. Sena Kimm Gnangnon shows the effect of remittances inflows on public finance by examining the effect of remittances inflows on fiscal space using a sample of 109 receiving countries over the period 1980-2015. The last paper by Rodolfo García Zamora and Selene Gaspar Olvera shows that Mexican migrants’ remittances from the US had been suffering the effects of COVID-19 in April 2020.

Mielhorski, R. (2017). Zawsze niezakończona przeszłość.Dzieciństwo i jego sąsiedztwa w poezji polskiej drugiej połowy XX wieku. Bydgoszcz: Oficyna Wydawnicza Epigram. The review article discusses Robert Mielhorski’s book Zawsze niezakończona przeszłość. Dzieciństwo i jego sąsiedztwa w poezji polskiej drugiej połowy XX wieku [Always an Unfinished Past: Childhood and Its Neighbourhoods in Polish Poetry of the Second Half of the 20th Century] (2017). The paper presents the most im¬portant theses of the book, shows the researcher’s most valuable findings – especially regarding the topics of memory and anamnesis, and also argues with some of the author’s statements (most importantly, those related to the use of psychoana¬lytical tools in the process of interpretation of a literary text).

Jędrych, K. (2017). Portret dziewczynki, dziewczyny i kobiety w powieściach Marii Krüger. Katowice: Wydawnictwo UŚ. In the article, the author analyses the book written by Karolina Jędrych entitled Portret dziewczynki, dziewczyny i kobiety w powieściach Marii Krüger [The Image of a Little Girl, an Adolescent, and a Woman in the Novels of Maria Krüger] (2017), which is a forerunner monograph devoted to the works of the title writer, focused on precisely defined issues that concerns girls and women, presented from the perspective of feminist criticism and gender studies. The author concludes that Jędrych’s monograph entails interesting and innovative recognition of Krüger’s literature and sets new directions for research on these works or the works of authors writing similarly to Krüger, whose prose directed to girls and women requires a reliable description from the perspective of feminisms. It seems that only a critical reading of literature addressed to girls, embedded in new methodologies, can give it a second life and explain to contemporary readers the phenomenon of the former popularity of this genre.
