Broken Masculinities. Solitude, Alienation, and Frustration in Turkish Literature after 1970

Author(s): Çimen Günay-Erkol / Language(s): English

Broken Masculinities portrays the post-dictatorial novel of the 1970s in all its complexity, and introduces the reader to a 1968-era Turkey, a period which challenges Turkey’s now reinforced Islamic image by portraying the quest for sexual liberation and critical student uprisings. Günay-Erkol argues that the literature written after the 1970 coup in Turkey constitutes a coherent sub-genre and needs to be considered together. These novels share a common ground which is rich in images of men and women craving for power: general isolation, sexual-emotional frustration, and a traumatic sense of solitude and alienation.This book is an original and significant contribution to two major fields of study: (1) gender and sexuality with respect to formation of subjectivity through literature, and (2) modern literature and history through the study of Turkish literature. The chief concern in this book is not only literature’s response to a particular period in Turkey, but also the role of literature in bearing witness to trauma and drastic political acts of violence—and coming to terms with them.

IMPERIA WIEDZY

Author(s): Anna Wojciuk / Language(s): Polish

Anna Wojciuk odpowiada na pytanie, w jaki sposób edukacja i nauka budują dziś siłę państw, a także analizuje zmiany ładu międzynarodowego, które prowadzą do narodzin tytułowych imperiów wiedzy. Praca zawiera wiele przykładów historycznych i współczesnych, ilustrujących rozmaite strategie, które przyniosły państwom sukces, a także pokazuje przykłady krajów, które zaniedbawszy te dziedziny, straciły we wszystkich wymiarach. Imperia wiedzy... to praca dla każdego, kogo ciekawi strategiczne myślenie o państwie w XXI wieku. Powstała praca bardzo ambitna, erudycyjna, dobrze osadzona teoretycznie, poparta licznymi analizami empirycznymi. A nade wszystko praca, która podejmuje temat w polskiej literaturze praktycznie nieobecny, a i w literaturze światowej obecny słabo. (...) Przede wszystkim jest to jednak praca z tezą. I to właśnie uważam za jej największą wartość.

Folklore in the Digital Age

Author(s): Violetta Krawczyk-Wasilewska / Language(s): English

Online and digital cultures are among the most personally gripping effects of globalisation in our increasingly networked world. While global multimedia culture may seem to endanger traditional folklore, there is no doubt that it creates new folklore as well.Folklore in the Digital Age vividly illustrates the range of e-folklore studies in updated papers and essays from the author’s 21st-century research. The themes covered include not only the most serious issues of the day, such as the 9/11 attacks and natural disasters, but also cheerier topics, such as online dating and food culture.In these essays Professor Krawczyk-Wasilewska paints a convincing picture of digital folklore as a cultural heritage. She covers a wide range of issues from all levels of society and offers fascinating insights into how online culture affects our postmodern lives.

Sześciolatek w szkolnej ławce – obniżenie obowiązkowego wieku szkolnego w polskim systemie edukacyjnym

Author(s): Agata Rzymełka-Frąckiewicz / Language(s): Polish

“Many representatives of economic and social sciences, including pedagogues and sociologists, share the view that it is the acquired education, the knowledge and professional competence that determine our place in the hierarchical structure of social relations today. Broadly understood education has a decisive effect on the achieved social position, the social prestige of individuals, social groups and also entire societies (states). Schools are an important part of the process of becoming a social being, […] they significantly influence the life chances of its members”. In highly developed countries, education constitutes the most important factor of professional and material success. According to Tadeusz Pilch, “[…] today it is neither birth nor even, in a sense, possession that determine the social position of man. Today, the most common truth has become the most common rule: as one’s educationis, so their fate is”.Formerly illiteracy meant ignorance of the alphabet, and thus inability to read and write. At present, the term ‘functional illiteracy’ is in use. An illiterate person is a person who knows the letters, knows how to read and write, but does not comprehend the texts he/she reads andis not able to use the information provided with the writing (e.g. manuals explaining how to operate devices, instructions on how to use something, how to take medication, etc.). Today‘s educational expectations are even higher. An increasing number of developed countries are deciding to lower the compulsory school age, thus making the period of formal education longer.The presented work deals with issues related to the attempt to lower the compulsory school age of children to six years of age in the Polish educational system during the period of so-called transitional regulations, when it was the parents‘ decision to enrol a six-year-old child at school. The paper comprises information on how the age of education and the structure of education in Poland has changed over time, what solutions concerning school age and structure of educational institutions have been adopted by particular countries in Europe, and what specific solutions have been introduced in education within the frame of theproposed educational reform.In the empirical part, the following research has been presented: a review of national social opinions on social acceptance of the proposal to lower the compulsory school age to the sixth year of life of the child; an interview conducted in 2013 with the then Minister of NationalEdu cation – on the assessment of the prevailing social situation and the opinion of the Minister about the project and the procedure of the introduced changes to the educational system; interviews with directors of selected primary schools in Katowice, who had experience of working with a six-year-old child in their institutions; the results of questionnaire surveys conducted among parents of six-year-old children who startededucation at primary school.

Сроднички односи у Врању

Author(s): Jadranka Đorđević-Crnobrnja / Language(s): Serbian

Main task of this work has been to examine kin relationships – in their range, content and function – of Vranje family with its extra-family relatives. The Vranje family forms kinship network wich is narrow in its range. Family maintains intimate relations with a small number of relatives, mainly with the nearest kin. Relatives up to the fourth cousins in lateral range, or in vertical range of lineage, are recognized as closer kin and with them the elementary family creates more intensive interaction and stronger connectedness than with genealogically more distant kin. Family interaction with the genealogically more distant kin is reduced to occasional gatherings. Geographic distance between a family and its relatives is an obstacle to intensive contacts and a limiting factor in forming higher degree of kinship connectedness. Low living standard also contributes that contacts among relatives are less intensive. Range, content and function of kin relationships depend upon: family structure, its internal organisation (performance of conjugal roles), situational factors, influence of psychological mechanisms and recognition of certain cultural patterns. The contacts of the Vranje families with their kin are shaped up, to a considerable extent, by traditional patterns of behaviour. Cultural patterns and kinship terminology are the part of kinship system wich change the most slowly. Changes that occur within the kinship system are for the most part structural in their nature, while content of the system is less prone to changes. In solving many of its problems, family relies on kin’s help. Relationships with kin in not limited in their role and importance only to kinship solidarity, but are included in socialization process of an individual. The kin relationships represent important part of social relationships in the modern world and they help in forming of structuralized social reality.

Post/modernistička poetika Irfana Horozovića

Author(s): Šeherzada Džafić / Language(s): Bosnian

Irfan Horozović is an example of a writer who is created out of territorial, linguistic, ideological and existential framework of the home environment has become the spotlight of recent theoretical considerations that it emphasizes his identity / diversity. The ultimate goal of this book is to show in the case of Irfan Horozović how specific feature of Bosnian literature shares their writers with other literatures is in fact not a disadvantage but an advantage and with that it gets the diversity and interculturalism (Džafić, 2015), openness and specifics, which are all important characteristics of modern literature.Taking into account the spatial turn as a newer model in the study of literature, this book is basically moving in two directions, thus establishing two main hypothesis. The first hypothesis relates to the identity of the individual – in what way the identity is realized and / or built into contact with otherness (others) to point to the (lack of) strength of that identity (his weakening or strengthening), but also what is the role of the spatial movement during the process. The second hypothesis concerns the intercultural literature - in what way the area as a category within the literary work establishes and strenghtens intercultural relationships of the individual and the collective. By consideration of space in Horozović's work is observed how his protagonists with constant recognition and search for their own starting points set up specific intercultural topographies. At the same time the process of recognition is marked by areas in which the protagonists move on acquiring and conquering/adopting different identities. Those spaces are based on specific (o)positions: inside/outside, below/above, indoor/outdoor, private/public, here/there and separate topos: city/province, street/room, house/town, pub/inn, basement/ attic. Referring to the real spaces, spaces in this paper are divided into the spaces of faction, fiction and fantasy, which are the main chapters of the paper. Faction areas are related to the actual motion of the author in which process the cities of Banja Luka as the first and main topos and Zagreb as a study and a central topos are largely covered where the space between ensures Horozović to be placed in intercultural context. On the other hand, the spaces of fiction and fantasy are the spaces within the works in which the protagonists exist at the level of personal search for themselves in which movement these spaces become the point of convergence of deeper, essential connections of past and present, isolated spaces, and sometimes non-spaces and unreachable places, that eventually be turned into sentimental sanctuary places. Irfan Horozovic, as an author who has created within the two literatures, is tied to two (or more) topos, settled into the space of the text by statements such as the one that "belongs to the language he writes” while giving readers the freedom to place him in their personal receptive space.

Bazgrota w twórczości plastycznej dziecka

Author(s): Urszula Szuścik / Language(s): Polish

The book presents the assumptions and results of the pedagogical experiment on the genesis of scribble and its transformation by stimulation of visual perception. The study involved children aged 2 and 3 years. As we know, the scribble period is one of the most difficult periods to study in the development of child’s drawing creativity. During this time, the areas of cognitive, enactive and communicational development of the child are formed and integrated. It is a discovery for the child to have left the first graphic trace. I asked myself a question concerning the extent to which the child’s visual stimulation determines his/her original drawing – a scribble. To what extent does his/her visual stimulation change as a result of this impact in terms of the diversity of linear quality, colour patches and shapes – figures? What, therefore, new formal features does the scribble acquire? These are some of the questions I tried to answer in the present work. My approach to the analysis of children’s scribbles rests upon my assumption that this is a kind of specific endeavor able to rebuild the child’s visual and motor experience by means of stimulation of his/her visual perception. The research hypothesis involved the stimulation of children’s artistic creativity depending on the shaping of their visual perception by strictly defined visual stimuli within colours, lines and figures. Visual stimuli formed perceptual patterns determined by individual research tasks. The experiment covered 15 exercises, including five exercises on colors, five on lines and five on figures. The book consists of three main chapters and extensive appendices. I discussed the issue of a scribble in the development of the child’s artistic expression in the first chapter of the work, referring to the concept of the development of artistic creativity and visual perception of selected researchers. I described the development of visual and artistic values in a child’s scribble, namely a line, a color patch, a circle and a figure. I attribute a special role to the development of the child’s visual perception. Moreover, I think that the formation of the semantic aspect of the scribble is one of the elements of the child’s cognitive development that leads to thought-drawing transformations. This issue is presented in the theoretical analysis of the work. Child’s scribbling was an inspiration for many artists; that’s why I have resolved to discuss this topic in this chapter. Seeking answers to this problem, I have contrasted selected examples of children’s scribbles and works of art. In my opinion, what combines them in the beauty of the simplicity of artistic solutions is creative intuition. In the second chapter of the work, I have presented the assumptions of my research, research problems, adopted hypotheses, research procedure, variables and indicators. The whole research was of complementary character. The third chapter of the book presents the analysis of the research results and their interpretation. This is where I provide evidence to support my thesis about the importance of stimulating the children’s scribble by means of visual perception. It can be concluded that the child’s scribbles illustrate and create a chain of transformation of his/her experience. An integral part of the book is a CD, which contains the quantitative and qualitative analyses of the research results, selected examples of children’s artworks from the research that show the diversity and originality of solutions in children’s scribbles. The experiment, conducted and presented in the monograph entitled Scribble in the child’s artistic creation (2019), proved that the formation of visual thinking in children takes place by means of visual perception. Such a process leads to the enrichment of their perceptual experience and the ultimate result: artistic activity.

Specific objectives were prepared in the following way: 1. The answer to the question whether there was any previously unidentified demand for items of cultural heritage in the form of material post-industrial heritage among different users of the city. 2. Indication of the principles of building an integrated heritage-based product and developing a detailed list of criteria that must be met by heritage objects to be included in the integrated tourist product. 3. Preparation of the list of key objects, which are part of the material post-industrial heritage. 4. Presentation of examples and crucial rules of management the integrated projects combining elements of post-industrial heritage with the identified key aspects. As a leading thesis of dissertation it was assumed that: 1. Cultural heritage of physical industrial heritage is a factor in the development of the city. 2. Existing legal conditions for the protection of cultural heritage and monuments are a limiting factor in the use of industrial heritage for the economic development of the city. 3.

Wrażliwe struny osobowości w związkach romantycznych

Author(s): Marcin Moroń / Language(s): Polish

The aim of the book is to establish the role of temperamental sensitivity to pleasant and unpleasant stimuli in understanding the dynamics of responding to transgressions in romantic relationships. Using the neuropsychological reinforcement sensitivity theory of personality, there have been shown mechanisms of constructive and destructive reaction in the event of a breach of norms regulating mutual exchange by an intimate relationship partner. The analyses have demonstrated that sensitivity to negative stimuli and to motivational conflicts are the risk factors of avoidance and neglect of a romantic partner, and also revealed the mechanisms of this risk (e.g. difficulties in emotional regulation, reduced self-esteem and sensitivity to rewards and punishments in a romantic relationship).
