(Dy)fuzje. Związki literatury i sztuki w Polsce po 1945 roku

Author(s): Tomasz Bocheński,Magdalena Lachman,Paweł Polit,Michalina Kmiecik,Daniel Muzyczuk,Andrzej Niewiadomski,Dariusz Pachocki,Agnieszka Rejniak-Majewska,Paweł Stangret,Justyna Staroń,Anna Śliwa,Beata Śniecikowska,Aleksander Wójtowicz,Tomasz Załuski / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2019

The publication is the result of a project implemented at the Łódź Museum of Art in cooperation with the University of Łódź Department of the 20th- and 21st-Century Literature. The case-study research focused on the phenomena that indicated artists' attachment to different variants of the avant-⁠garde principle of the integration of arts. They also emphasized the convergence of artists' aspirations in Poland after 1945 in various sociopolitical, institutional and even social contexts.The book deals with alliances and analogies within visual arts and literature – both beyond their traditionally obeyed formulas, and within conventionally respected and honoured limits. The authors of the collected texts try to capture the reciprocity of artistic stimulation in the dissemination of specific ideas, and at the same time they are interested in positional and paradigmatic shifts in the perception of seemingly well-known issues; in other words, in everything that lies in the semantic potential of the title “(dif)fusion”.“This volume has a distinct innovative trait – both at the level of discovering and revealing new ideas (where phenomena subjected to little or no research are examined) and in the area of repetition (where discussion covers decently researched topics). [...] There is also, so to speak, a cognitive section in it. On the one hand, there are contributions to the work of very famous and well-known artists (Białoszewski, Brzozowski, Buczkowski, Czycz, Haupt, Kantor, Peiper, Strzemiński, Themerson), while on the other we receive competent texts devoted to artists and phenomena that are less popular or virtually unknown (Bruszewski, Dłużniewski, Kryszkowski, Partum or underground art magazines – artzines). Inevitably, these first contributions require engaging in a kind of agon with antecedent research, while the latter constitute an intellectual novelty somewhat in and of itself. This combination seems very refreshing for the message of the entire publication.” From the review by dr hab. Piotr Łuszczykiewicz, prof. UAM

Advances in Contemplative Social Research

Author(s): Krzysztof T. Konecki / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2018

This book is unique and audacious, and fits very well with current tendencies within qualitative research. It introduces new, fresh threads to questions and concerns that are highly significant for contemporary social sciences. The formulated conclusions go beyond directly methodological issues, posing key philosophical questions to the whole project of Western sociology.Grażyna WoronieckaFrom the review of the bookDeep contemplation of the situation could be the epistemological choice for social scientists. It is a fundamentally different approach to the research, where the investigator is researching the object but also the situation of research and her-self/him-self. Contemplating is a dual way of the approaching the truth. It does not mean that the researcher is mentally divided; just the opposite, she/he wants to be complete and achieve the unity of being as a researcher-human being and an element of the situation (psycho-social and historical). Contemplating enables researchers to see how the mind works and creates the images and reports from the field – what is available for the mind and what is silent or repressed because of the dominating rhetoric of description and rhetoric of feeling?... Contemplation is not only analysis, it is also an ethical choice of stopping here and now to see the situation clearly and reporting it with the all reservations that could be the result of the mindfully-observed interaction of mind, self, and situation at one historical moment.From the Introduction

Akademicki spin off. Wiedza, zasoby i ścieżki rozwoju

Author(s): Paweł Głodek / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2018

Academic spinoffs are enterprises created by former or current staff members of scientific institutions which construct their market offering based on elements of scientific knowledge.They are an important component of modern economy, creating a channel for transferring scientific knowledge into practice.The publication presents academic spinoffs focusing on the intensity of the use of scientific and business knowledge, and analyzing the configuration of their resources and market offering structure. Author's interviews with the owners of selected academic spinoffs show this category of enterprises in a realistic manner which reflects their existing operational diversity.The monograph proposes a categorization of academic spinoffs and offers a detailed description and analysis of each category. Typical development paths have also been presented.The resulting image of academic spinoffs is far from that of the fastest-growing international companies which have spun off from the world’s leading universities. However, it shows the complexity of entrepreneurs' attitudes and activities. It also underscores the ongoing processes of learning and external knowledge acquisition, as well as the link between the use of knowledge and the entrepreneurial process.

Analiza pretranslatorska tekstu jako pierwszy etap tłumaczenia poetyckiego

Author(s): Anna Bednarczyk / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2019

The reason is what makes me as a translator look for possible linguistic counterparts and carry out transformations, and the goal is what I want to achieve by implementing these manipulations. Specifying the goal is connected with defining one’s own translational motivation, which results in making conscious choices in the process of translation. From Conclusion “There has been no monograph in the Polish literature on translation which would analyze literary texts as source material from the perspective assumed by the Author” (particularly in regard to the Russian-Polish section of the analysis, based on the Author's own translations) … The currently available body of published work devoted to translation techniques (including pretranslatory analysis) is concerned exclusively with specialized – as opposed to literary – translation. This shortcoming in the field of translation didactics has now been addressed by Anna Bednarczyk’s book. From the review by prof. dr hab. Dorota Urbanek

Andrzej Stasiuk. Istnienie

Author(s): Adrian Gleń / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2019

The brilliant story by Adrian Gleń is an invitation to a special journey through the life and work of one of the most famous contemporary Polish writers. Work and life have been shown here as a kind of unity close to the formula of life-writing. The author argues that, with Stasiuk, literature is a record of life and a means for articulating the secrets of existence. He tracks the existential and metaphysical themes enmeshed in this manner of writing, such as the phenomenon of nothingness and death, the fascination with light, the periphery and emptiness, the desire to discover the world through the senses or the apotheosis of existence. Gleń's personal style reconciles literary expertise with his experience as an admirer of Stasiuk's work.

Antropolog jako audytor wewnętrzny

Author(s): Łucja Lange / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2016

Książka przybliża zarówno obszar zainteresowań antropologii kulturowej, jak i zakres działania audytu wewnętrznego. Autorka, były audytor wewnętrzny, a obecny antropolog kultury, zauważa podobieństwa między tymi dwoma dziedzinami i pragnie zwrócić na nie uwagę absolwentów, studentów oraz kandydatów na studia, wskazując jednocześnie ciekawą możliwość zatrudnienia. Swoje rozważania kieruje także do samych audytorów wewnętrznych, którym proponuje wartościową wiedzę z zakresu antropologii kulturowej, jako przydatne narzędzie ułatwiające pracę szczególnie w środowisku korporacji międzynarodowych. W świecie, w którym coraz częściej kładzie się nacisk na procedury, etyczność badań, jakość oraz mierzalność i policzalność — warto zastosować szerszą perspektywę i badać organizacje na sposób antropologiczny, nie tylko ekonomiczno-prawny. Książka została napisana w sposób odzwierciedlający tok badań – wprowadza czytelnika w zamysł autorki, przybliża inspiracje stojące za takim wyborem tematu, a następnie prezentuje drogę, jaką autorka przeszła z badanymi –od prezentacji antropologii kulturowej oraz audytu wewnętrznego, przez skoncentrowanie na pracy etnologów zatrudnionych w korporacjach aż do rozważań o możliwości zatrudnienia absolwentów antropologii kulturowej w audycie. Książka prezentuje ciekawą perspektywę praktyka, który zyskując wiedzę i doświadczenie etnologiczne, zauważa przydatność tychże w pracy audytora wewnętrznego i dzieli się swoimi spostrzeżeniami, nakierowując czytelnika na te podobieństwa i oczekując aktywnego odczytywania treści.

Author(s): Elżbieta Jung / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2014

Prezentowana książka jest efektem wieloletnich badań dotyczących wyjątkowego okresu w historii nauki średniowiecznej, mianowicie początków fizyki matematycznej. Składaj się na nią dwie części: monografia, w której autorka odpowiada na pytanie, czy czternastowieczna fizyka matematyczna, inspirowana nominalistyczną. filozofią Wilhelma Ockhama, doprowadziła do zerwania z jakościową fizyką Arystotelesa już w wieku czternastym, oraz tłumaczenie Kwestii o ruchu Ryszarda Kilvingtona – jednego z twórców szkoły Oksfordzkich Kalkulatorów. W swoich kwestiach Kilvington podejmuje analizę zagadnienia zmian, rozumianych, zgodnie z definicją. Arystotelesa, jako ruch przestrzenny, zmiany jakościowe oraz ilościowe w ujęciu nominalistycznym, czyniąc matematykę właściwym językiem opisu przyrody.

Atlas polskiego handlu wartością dodaną. Eksport

Author(s): Aleksandra Nacewska-Twardowska / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2018

The atlas aims to bring the reader closer to the basic theoretical issues related to global value chains and value-added trade and to present statistical data on Polish exports in graphic form. The recent economic history of Poland is a model example of how transformation, liberalization of the economy and regional integration processes (joining the EU common market) affect the structure and trade turnover. The complexity of available data is a factor which may particularly discourage deepened studies of international trade concerning gross or value added. Therefore, the atlas contains a series of maps that illustrate the evolution of phenomena related to foreign exchange. Maps allow presenting information on both the extent and intensity of Poland's exports. Besides, for each branch, information on the participation and position of Poland in global value chains has been presented.

Au carrefour des esthétiques. Rachilde et son écriture romanesque 1880-1913

Author(s): Anita Staroń / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 2015

Rachilde, qui a toujours aimé les poses et les effets théâtraux, a le don de se dérober à des affirmations catégoriques lorsque l’on en vient à l’analyse de son œuvre. Elle présente à ses lecteurs des visages multiples et contradictoires. Aussi n’est-il pas étonnant que les chercheurs arrivent, dans leurs analyses, à des conclusions très variées. En fonction de la perspective choisie, ils peuvent, en effet, découvrir une facette parmi plusieurs de cette personnalité miroitante. Cependant, l’œuvre de Rachilde est le plus souvent perçue comme représentative de la Décadence ; la présente étude entreprend de la montrer également tributaire d’autres esthétiques. Après des débuts décadents, la romancière trouva sa place au sein du mouvement symboliste, avant de s’intéresser au concept du roman d’aventure.

Autobiography-Biography-Narration. Research Practice for Biographical Perspectives

Author(s): / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2014

This volume includes eight complementary articles that relate to the empirical, methodological, analytical, interpretive and theoretical aspects of the narrative-biographical research. The basic linking assumption of these works is a departure from the trend, still dominant in Poland and especially visible in the social sciences, modeled on the ideas taken from the natural sciences. The co-authors of Autobiography―Biography―Narration, positioning themselves between their source areas of knowledge (pedagogy, psychology, anthropology, sociology and literary studies) and a transdisciplinary auto/biographical research plane, pick up as their starting point the processual perspective of the socio-cultural world, whose central element is the active subject as the creator of his/her own biography. Suchassumptions (expressed explicitly and implicitly) provided the basis forreports on the Authors’ own research projects (cf. in particular the textsby Karolina Dudek and Anna Kurpiel) and a framework for ordering the purely theoretical aspects of narrative-biographical studies (cf. the articleby Katarzyna Gajek).

Bariery we współpracy jednostek samorządu terytorialnego miejskich obszarów funkcjonalnych. Przykład województwa łódzkiego

Author(s): Małgorzata Żak-Skwierczyńska / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2018

Representatives of science and practicians have for years been looking for ways to shape durable competitive advantages of the country's economy. Their goal has been to find out what actions taken under development policy lead to increasing the competitiveness of individual territories.The territorial and integrated approach to development is increasingly breaking through, which in practice has been reduced to functional areas, including urban functional areas, consisting of the central city and its surroundings, which is the area for the interactive spread of phenomena and processes occurring in the centre.Unfortunately, blockades within urban functional areas have a negative impact on building competitive advantages based on modern factors which rely on human and territorial capital.The publication discusses the cooperation of local government units in Łódź Voivodeship with various partners within urban functional areas, with particular regard to barriers which translate into joint actions for the development of cities and their surroundings.The assessment of the phenomena occurring in this area has made it possible to formulate recommendations for further intervention aimed at improving the cooperation.The results of the research undertaken show particular utility for social and economic development of various territories and can be a starting point for the formulation and implementation of solutions to build relationships between various entities participating in the development processes.

Then they try to explain the essence and meaning of internal marketing in the contemporary library. The research part presents empirical study results concerning the following issues: practical elements of internal marketing (e.g. internal communication, motivation system, organizational culture), the evaluation of internal marketing by employees, and confrontation of employees’ expectations with the actual state of affairs. An exhaustive bibliography of publications concerning library marketing – starting from the earliest, published in 1991 – is an important supplement to the book.
