The article is devoted to the area, which embraces a widely understood concept of the silence in the process of actor’s upbringing according to the Stanislavski School. On the 150th anniversary of the Russian theatre coryphaeus’s birthday the author draws attention to the issue, that the methodological guidelines created by Stanislavski in so-called “system” are still up-to-date. Refferring to the experience of the Russian and Soviet theatrical thought she portrays how important the actor’s skill of the impletion of so-called spheres of silence with the organic psychophysical acting appears to be in the spectacle. In the article we are going to read also about the place which pause has taken in the history of Russian stage, and about the way the prominent theatre educators, the successors of Stanislavski’s thought, cultivated the study about “an inner monologue” and “a stream of inner visions”. In the final part of the article some example exercises which shape the skill of thinking on the stage and conducting of the inner monologue have been presented.

This tribute memorialises Professor Amir Hassanpour (1943-2017) a pioneer of Kurdish sociolinguistics, an influential advocate of Kurdish studies, a public intellectual, and a visionary humanist. As a scholar, his contributions are wide and varied and have had a significant impact, broadening our knowledge of the Kurdish history, nationalism, language, media, gender, social structures and movements. He will be remembered for raising and transforming the consciousness of the academic community regarding the rightful place of the Kurdish language and studies. As a revolutionary, Hassanpour played a key role in studying, organising, and leading social movements. He was truly an inspiration to many young researchers and political activists, a heroic man with a lifelong commitment to justice and a new vision of communism.

The article provides examples of our compatriots staying among the Indian tribes in Bolivia since the end of the 19th century (which was the period of emigration and research expeditions of Polish scientists: Józef Jackowski, Rudolf Zuber, Władysław Kluger, Roman Kozłowski, Jan Kalinowski, Józef Warszewicz). The missionary work of Poles in Bolivia began in the second half of the 20th century. The first ones who arrived were the Salesians and Redemptorists. The Franciscans came in the 1970. Missionary activity has been also performed by the missionary sisters from various religious orders and assemblies (including the Dębickie Servant Sisters, the Albertine Sisters, the Sacred Heart Sisters). The article presents the silhouettes of prominent Polish women and men serving in Bolivia: Friar Piotr Nawrot (Divine Word Missionary and musicologist), Bishop Krzysztof Białasik (Divine Word Missionary, the “Polish shepherd of Bolivian mountaineers”), Friar Kazimierz Strzępek – called “El Misionero,” Friar Kacper Nowakowski (Franciscan, OFM Conv.), Grzegorz Stachowiak (CR), Sister Miriam (of the Sacred Heart Sisters). In addition, the author recalls these Poles who passed away, but are still present in the hearts of Bolivians: Fr Bernard Czaja (Divine Word Missionary), Fr. Tomasz Strudzik, and Fr. Mariusz Graszek. Henryk Nowak and Mileniusz Spanowicz (a photographer of Bolivian nature) who are currently living in Bolivia, are also presented in the article.

Jan Kowalik spent his emigration years in northern California, where he improved his professional skills. His life is inextricably linked with the history of the very diverse Polish diaspora over the San Francisco Bay and ethnic pastoral care. The article describes the Polish diaspora in California, which began to arrive in San Francisco Bay in the 1840s. Then, as a “labor emigration,” being the core of the Polish diaspora in California, it reached its peak in the 1920s, and was powered after the Second World War. In addition, the article shows the importance of the Catholic Church and pastors, especially the Society of Christ, to migrants.Jan Kowalik became a chronicler of parish life and launched many initiatives promoting Polish culture. The most visible form of his activity was publishing activity. As the editor of “St. Adalbert Catholic Parish Bulletin” (published since April 23, 1976), in 1977 he began publishing his own column, “Polish Traces over the Bay,” dedicated to the past of Poles in California. In January 1979, he started to publish “God's Sowing.” The author of the article broadly discusses both publications, pointing out their authors and editorial collaborators.

In 2016 Wolters Kluwer Publishing House published a collective monograph entitled Fortress. School in a military metaphor. What in exchange?, edited by Maria Dudzikowa, Sylwia Jaskulska. The work opens a new series of pedagogical publications entitled “School Culture” edited by Maria Dudzikowa and Ewa Bochno. In the reviewed paper, four substantively justified parts have been distinguished, which included texts reconstructing school operation using a military metaphor. The studied phenomena were interpreted in the context of the relationship between the strategy (the second part of this paper), the tactics (the third part of the publication) and the selected examples of activity (part four), in this case implemented in the school space. The authors of the text paid particular attention to an interdisciplinary theoretical perspective.
