Globalność wartościowana i wartościująca
Valued and Valuing Globality

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyze the connections between understanding and evaluating globality. The analysis employs the conception of the axiosemiotic sphere developed by Stanisław Pietraszka. According to this conception, meanings enable the expression of values and values enable the valorization of meanings. I analyze selected examples of understanding and evaluating globality from various discourses: scientific, corporate, journalistic, journalistic, religious, and curatorial. I come to three conclusions. The first: the links between meanings and values entail that the change of meanings is accompanied by a change of values and the change of values is accompanied by a change of meanings. Second: meanings not only express values but also determine each other’s content. Thus, changing one meaning changes other meanings. Third: values not only valorize meanings, but they valorize each other, determining their va- lence. And so, globality is sometimes valorized with other values, but in other situations it be- comes the basis for evaluation itself. There are also contexts in which globality and other values valorize each other, determining their valence.
