I have no problems with identification. Especially when I discuss Silesian matters in Warsaw or somewhere in Poland. I am a Silesian, because I have lived here for 43 years, with a one-year break at the Reserve Officer School. I stand on the Silesian side even more, when my family space is repressed, deprecated, patronized or economically plagued.

Objectives. This paper explores the anthropological difference through the analysis of bringing rescue. To bring rescue to the other should be founded on the recognition of his suffering. But in many cases, this recognition is faulty and is based on a misunderstanding of animal/insect world. Material and methods. Through a case study of two famous literary texts in which a human-beetle relationship appears (authored by F. Kafka and W. Gombrowicz), at the crossing of philosophy and poetry, the author of the article tries to approach as close as possible the experience of a trans-humanist rescue attempt.Results and Conclusions. The metamorphosis effectuates a true displacement in the relationship between man and animal but what Kafka describes is not the transfiguration of man into a beetle but rather the metamorphosis that affects the family.

When you invent the car, you also invent the car crash – Paul Virilio convinced his readers. It turns out that to invent the automobile means also to turn upside down or, at the very least, to question the heretofore aesthetic, symbolic, and spatial order and even the order of experiencing the sacrum. Marinetti regarded the roaring automobile to be more beautiful than Nike of Samothrace. Several decades later Barthes recognised the automobile to be a counterpart of Gothic cathedrals, an object that has “fallen from the sky”. In what sort of condition does the car reach the period of late modernity? What remains today of the former enthusiasm? How alive are the foundation mythologies? Are we already witnessing the twilight of goddesses, and should the motif of the car crash, recurring more and more often in pop-culture and the arts, be interpreted as a new form of iconoclasm?

Within a year two populations of Europe – one in the south, the other in the north – have voted against the European Union (EU) and its policy. They did this out of entirely different motives and with different aims. Whereas on 5 July 2015 the Greek OXI was directed against the austerity dictates of the Troika and the degradation of Greece to the state of a semi-colonial country, the British Brexit above all was characterized by the fear of "foreigners"and the desire to escape from the freedom of movement in the EU. The crisis highlighted the economic interdependence of the EU, while also underscoring the lack of political integration necessary to provide a coordinated fiscal and monetary response. This paper offers a fresh perspective on how trust has been deteriorating considerably during the recent crisis in European countries which are the most affected by the ongoing economic downturn, mostly in the periphery. Consecutively, EU needs to respond to public apathy and anger with emotional intelligence and offer solutions that feel relevant to people today.
