Editorial

Author(s): Ibrahim Sirkeci / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

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.

Dzieciństwo i jego pamięci

Author(s): Jan Zdunik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

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).

Pisanie o kobiecie a „pisanie kobiety” w twórczości Marii Krüger

Author(s): Katarzyna Slany / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2019

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.

Wearing-Off of the Lines Between Politics and Games

Author(s): Alexandra Kukumbergová / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

How far are video games from politics? It seems like there are a lot of arguments and discourses surrounding politics and games. There are a whole range of ways and amounts of how politics crosses the political sphere. As an example, we can look at Far Cry 5; considered controversial by some, and even accused of not being able to articulate a statementof Trumpian America; „a missed opportunity”.
