The article examines the anthropological origins and nature of human rights, as well as derivatives of the phenomena of power and State in their relationship with the natural human rights and interests. Concluded that genetically inherent nature of fundamental human rights, and their satisfaction with primary function is defined by the rule of law. The State and power serve as a social mechanism for equitable distribution of human resources and social reproduction of society. Neoinstinctual approach to understanding power as a mechanism for sorting and distribution of values gives clear answers to such questions. Thus, elders individualized power seems primarily as ownership and capacity to manage these essential resources of life, the wisdom of generations, historical experience, the ability to forecast revenues and allocate time primary resources of life – values-things. Personified power of a charismatic leader is extremely scarce possession of spiritual values, aims, in particular, hope and faith in the "bright future" confidence to overcome any adversity. Institutionalized government elected (appointed, inheritance, etc.) is provided officials it available to the public the value of instruments - laws, rules, regulations, opening wide access to primary values-things. The same authority shall mean the presence of its carrier and tool of spiritual values that are impossible or extremely difficult to get much of society.

The «wild» conditions this function is performed by natural selection. In a politically organized society core values of social justice not only makes the institutionalization of government and state, but also creates a societal function normalization and equitable (in terms of the dominant sectors of society) allocation of scarce resources, values as rational-legal mechanism of realization of natural rights.

Deleuze’s theory of time in cinema represents subjective approach. According to Bergson time is creation therefore cinema must be based on a transcendence of time.

This report is part of a larger research project entitled Polish literature after 1989 in light of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory led by a team of sociologists, experts in culture studies and literary scholars. The authors use Bourdieu’s theoretical tools to describe a segment of the Polish literary field, focusing on different aspects of the production, distribution and sales of books. Based on collected materials (353 interviews with individuals from the analyzed field – publishers, distributors, booksellers, government workers – published by Biblioteka Analiz in the series Rozmowy o rynku książki [pl. Conversations about the Book Market] in the years 2001–2012), the authors aim to describe the process of the emergence of a professional publishing industry from the ephemeral and chaotic publishing movement of the 1990s. The authors analyze a number of aspects of the transition from publishing movement to book market – from book design and the editorial level through print run planning, marketing the book, displaying and selling it, to issues such as printing the price on the cover and the introduction of VAT on books. Using the definition of the term “book market” proposed by Marek Tobera and Bogdan Klukowski, the authors argue that in the first years after the political transformation in Poland a professional book market did not exist, due to the lack of a professionalized system of information exchange between the sectors of production, distribution and sales. It was only with the advent of computerization that the evolution of a professional book market gained momentum.

It presents relations between literature and business within the context of cooperation between agents and writers, the latter using the former’s services as a means for their functioning in the Polish publishing market that strives for professionalization. The theme of the article is a literary agent as a writer’s alter ego: on the one hand, overshadowed by the writer, but on the other – still considerably influencing their client’s economic, marketing and legal situation.This dissertation uses terminology and analytical tools developed by Pierre Bourdieu presented in his paper Rules of Art. The paper shall be based on an analysis of six in-depth interviews with literary agents as well as on results of a research report developed within the framework of the project entitled Literatura polska po 1989 roku w świetle teorii Pierre’a Bourdieu (Polish literature after 1989 in light of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory).

This essay deals with the process of literary canon formation as an ongoing contest between two forces in the field of cultural production: the power of the habitus and the actions of actors of that field (experts, officials, publishers, teachers). The high degree of codification of the canon (that is understood as school’s required reading list) and a strong educational monopoly are symptoms of social field condition as a whole. First, the social transformation process that follows the political change is not yet finished. Second, the canon is a self-reproductive structure and jeopardizes the possible processes of transformation. Third, the autonomy of artistic and literary fields is incessantly decreasing.
