Something is Missing

Author(s): Bülent Somay / Language(s): English

These essays (aphorisms, theses, whatever you like) were written fifteen years ago in Turkish, and were published in Turkey in 2007. It was almost an idyllic, Arcadian time if considered from the point of view of today, that is, the nightmarish year 2020 when I am writing this. Trump was still your run-of-the-mill Reality TV star (who was also a millionaire), and could harm only his immediate environment. We only had to deal with the common cold and the flu, which, although deadly enough, could not even begin to compete with the Covid-19 pandemic. Turkey, Russia and India were ruled by populists with authoritarian tendencies even then; but their rule did not seem as eternal and as aggressively autocratic, bordering on fascism, as it is today.

Author(s): Dominika Woźniak-Szymańska / Language(s): Polish

Referring to the assumptions of the English School, post-structuralism and post-colonialism, she builds a model of a hierarchy based on the “power of discourse” and reflects on the influence of international reality on Poland’s functioning in it. The publication consists of two parts: theoretical, devoted to international community and its rules, and practical, in which the case of Poland is described. As Poland’s place is on the European peripheries, the author explores the activities politicians undertake to strengthen the position of the country.

Freelonia’nın O’Halleri – BirGün Londra Yazıları

Author(s): Ibrahim Sirkeci / Language(s): Turkish

Freelonia’nın O’Halleri, BirGün Londra Yazıları 2008’den bu yana yayınlanmış haftalık yazılardan bir seçki. Bu seçkide Türkiye’de demokrasi, siyaset, seçimler ve özellikle sol siyasi partiler üzerine kaleme alınmış yazıları bir araya getirmeyi amaçladım. Yazılarımı takip edenlerin çok yabancılık çekmeyeceği “çakma” İngiliz hicvi dilime çok yerleştiği için bu derlemede de bolca karşınıza çıkacak.Bu kitabı okuduktan sonra hayatınız değişmeyecek. Öyle mutluluğun sırrı, demokrasinin yolu, on günde kilo verme, beş taşla zengin olma ve benzeri kısa yollar da sunmuyorum. Okurken yer yer yüzünüzde bir iki gülümsemeye ve içinizde hafif bir öfkeye yol açabilirsem benim için amaç hasıl olmuş demektir.Neden hemen her yazının sonunu “iyi pazarlar ve bol şanslar” veya “iyi haftalar ve bol şanslar” diyerek bağladığımı da açıklayayım. 2005 tarihli biyografik filmde ABD’li sunucu Edward Murrow haber programını her akşam “iyi geceler ve iyi şanslar” diyerek kapatıyordu. Filmi izlerken buna bayılmıştım. Bu temenninin 1950’lerin başındaki MacCarthy’ci baskı döneminde çok önemli olduğunu düşünüyorum. Bugün de farklı baskılar karşısında derdim hayatta istemediğimiz biçimde giden bunca çok şey varken şansın rolünü de hatırlamak. O yüzden şimdiden iyi okumalar ve bol şanslar.

Turbulence in the Post-Cold War Era

Author(s): Stanisław Bieleń / Language(s): English

The author pinpoints the relations between geopolitics and globalisation from the angle of the post-Cold War politically turbulent order. Against this background of a clash between two opposing tendencies – revisionism and defence of the status quo – the author determines the dynamics of the deconcentration of forces in the international system, which is increasingly polycentric and less and less monocentric. He devotes much attention to the identity crisis of the West (from the crisis of US leadership to the depreciation of NATO). He characterizes Russia, with its aspirations to rebuild its superpower status and its imperial mission, as the main geopolitical opponent of the West. Pointing to the contemporary discourse on Russia and the risk of escalating a new confrontation reminiscent of the Cold War era, he critically assesses the consequences of Poland's international policy.

Marząc wielki, śniąc potężny… Aspekty narracyjne współczesnej rosyjskiej polityki językowej

Author(s): Bartosz Hordecki / Language(s): Polish

The work attempts to analyse and interpret narrative aspects of language policy created and promoted by the Russian federal authorities since 1991. It exposes views on the Russian language, its status, condition, and relation to other languages, shared by the Russian key national representatives, especially by the Russian Federation president. Studying and characterising these views, the author seeks to answer what kind of world-view they include and what type of collective activity they suggest. He also focuses on how the current federal ideological schemes remain anchored in certain traditions of perceiving, defining, displaying, and managing language issues by the Russian state.

Roszczenie o zapłatę wielokrotności stosownego wynagrodzenia w prawie autorskim

Author(s): Dorota Sokołowska / Language(s): Polish

The publication deals with issues from the field of copyright law as not yet described in the form of a monograph. The claim for payment of multiples of the respective remuneration for infringement of author's rights, regulated in Article 79, paragraph 1, subparagraph 3, b) of the Act of 4 February 1994 on copyright and related rights has undergone radical transformations in the last 5 years. The current wording and interpretation of the provision has been influenced by judgments given of the Constitutional Tribunal, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Supreme Court. These rulings are described and assessed in detail in the monograph. A number of new arguments in favour of re-examination of the issue and in favour of maintaining the claim for payment of a multiple of the respective remuneration in copyright law, constituting the main instrument for protection of authors and other rights holders, were also presented. The monograph includes, inter alia, an overview of Polish acts regulating lump-sum damages and an analysis of the legislation of 47 European states within the scope of the claim being analysed.

Prawo pracy: czyje? Res Publica! O stosunku pracy teoretycznoprawnie

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

Years of academic deliberations on labour law in Poland at the heart of which I see the “scientific study of law” have led me to the sad conclusion that it is probably impossible to confirm the existence of a real scientific approach to this kind of law. It seems that this scientific approach does not comprise a coherent system of views on the issue of labour, at least at its core. As a consequence, it does not have much to offer legal practitioners who, in a desperate search for solutions to the real current problems in everyday work, are left to their own devices when it comes to dealing with legal issues. In fact, it could not be otherwise, bearing in mind that the academic approach to labour law in Poland can “boast” merely a collection of loose, frequently pseudo-scientific ideas, as they do not in fact rely on any solid theoretical findings. Even worse, nobody is obliged to take responsibility for this situation. As a result, this kind of scientific approach, especially in relation to labour law, where whole societies are affected, bears consequences whose seriousness cannot be underestimated. This publication is unfortunately only of an introductory nature, as the exhaustive analysis of labour law is the kind of task that not only requires years of academic work but, more importantly, should be a joint effort, which again, in the Polish social context of academic activity, would be something rather exotic. Having published a monograph on the axiological basis of Polish labour law, therefore having a clear understanding of the kind of values this labour law focuses on, I would like to reflect on the theoretical dimensions of the system of labour law norms. I also view all my previous efforts to study the particular problems related to this issue presented in various articles that I have published as mere preparation for the task in hand.

Od prawicy do lewicy. Struktura ideologiczna polskich partii politycznych w latach 2015–2017

Author(s): Anita Filipczak-Białkowska / Language(s): Polish

The book “From the right-wing to the left-wing. The ideological structure of Polish political parties in 2015-2017” provides new content both in terms of methodological concepts and knowledge about the world. The research presented in it falls within the mainstream of critical discourse analysis and combines the linguistic perspective with the area of interest of other disciplines, especially communication science and political science. For the purposes of the research project presented in the study, an innovative research method was prepared, which enables the identification of ideological views manifested in the statements of a selected political entity (politician, political party). The operationalization of the notions of "right-wing" and "left-wing" as part of the project became the basis for the creation of a tool that allows to determine the left-wing or right-wing inclination of the studied subject, which is a novelty in the field of research conducted as part of critical discourse analysis. The tool was presented and discussed in the study.The monograph "From the right-wing to the left-wing" also provides new knowledge in the field of accompanying disciplines: it presents the ideological structure of Polish political parties represented in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland during the rule of Beata Szydło in 2015-2017. Establishing this structure allowed to verify the truth of the statement present in the English-language literature on the subject, according to which political parties operating in post-communist countries of Eastern Europe are characterized by a crossroads of views: left-wing ideological ideas are combined with right-wing views on economic issues. The research carried out with the use of the prepared method made it possible to determine whether this statement is adequate to the current situation in the Polish party system of the analyzed period.
