Сором і вина як фрагменти емотивної картини світу (на матеріалі української фраземіки)

Author(s): Anatoliy Zahnitko,Zhanna Krasnobayeva-Chorna / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1/2022

The article belongs to the series of publications devoted to the investigation of fundamental human emotions representated in Ukrainian phrasal verbs. The article examines the psychophysiological patterns of emotions of shame and guilt in Ukrainian phraseology. The subject of the article includes denotation phrases of shame and guilt in the Ukrainian language. A parametric analysis of the semantic structure of the phrase is used as the main method. In Ukrainian phraseology, the studies of the pantomimic expressions of shame and guilt are consistent with cross-cultural explorations and descriptions of fundamental human emotions actualized in kinesthetic phrases. Vegetative body reactions to shame are represented by heat and redness. The eyes, face and body are the main non-verbal indicators of shame and guilt. However, the loci of shame are the soul and the heart. In the Ukrainian culture, there is a connection between shame and public opinion and reputation. Shame and guilt threaten with a potential loss of reputation. The emotion of guilt is also predicated by the intention to ‘scapegoating’ and marked by negative concepts (swamp, dirt, mud, sludge).

Der Artikel befasst sich mit antifeministischen Wissenskulturen am Beispiel der Alleinerziehendenforschung in Polen. Die queer_feministische Perspektive dient als theoretischer Zugang zur Untersuchung von antifeministischen Wissenskulturen in der Alleinerziehendenforschung. Dabei werden wissenschaftliche Publikationen von den 1970ern bis in die 2000er einbezogen. Drei antifeministische Argumentationsmuster in der Alleinerziehendenforschung in Polen werden diskutiert: die Familie einer alleinerziehenden Mutter als ein für das Kind bedrohlicher Ort; die Abwesenheit des Vaters als Problem für die (geschlechtliche) Entwicklung des Kindes; die legitime Abwesenheit des Vaters.

Between Grandma and Granddaughter – The Process of Becoming a Black Woman in a Racist Society. Analysis of Intergenerational Transmission on the Example of bell hooks’ autobiography Bone Black: Memories of Girlhood

Author(s): Aneta Ostaszewska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The aim of the essay is to discuss an intergenerational transmission of family history and its impact on the process of becoming a Black woman in a racist society. The example chosen for analysis is the autobiography of bell hooks, Bone Black: Memories of Girlhood (1996), which is a story about girlhood. (B)ell hooks is a pen name of Gloria Jean Watkins, an African-American scholar and writer whose childhood and adolescence were during the period of racial segregation and desegregation in the 1960s of the twentieth century. (B)ell hooks writes Bone Black to reflect on being a Black girl growing up in racially segregated American society in the 60s of the twentieth century. She shows the historical and political contexts of her growing up, however, it is the local community and intergenerational family ties that she places at the center of her process of becoming the woman: bell hooks. Relationships with women, particularly a relationship between grandmother and granddaughter are of great significance in this process. The essay begins with a brief summary of the biography of bell hooks and a description of Bone Black, with particular emphasis put on the author’s interand intragenerational relationships with women. Next, I will move on to discuss the intergenerational transmissions of family history and their impact on the process of becoming a woman. For this purpose, I will refer to the life story concept introduced by Daniel Bertaux (2016), and the notion of subjective resources created by Catherine Delcroix (1999, 2014), in order to discuss the importance of intergenerational transmission of life stories in the process of becoming the woman knowns as “bell hooks.”

Cielesny wymiar badań nad autyzmem. Rzecz o dzienniku terenowym

Author(s): Aleksandra Rzepkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

Writing field notes is a vital part of participant observation necessary to gain insight into specific social situations and cultural phenomena. The procedure of data recording seems deceptively straightforward, but is indeed a complex process conditioned by various circumstances, which have their own specific materiality and corporeality. Therefore, it is worth perceiving not only what a researcher writes, but also that he/she writes, and above all – how he/she writes. This in turn should be analysed as individual and localised practice, associated with a particular researcher and a particular field. In the paper I pay attention to the practical aspects of note-taking on an example of my own research on autism.

Wiedza i postawy studentów – przyszłych nauczycieli – w zakresie interpłciowości i transpłciowości

Author(s): Karolina Czerwiec / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

The research was conducted in 2015–2020 using the method of focus interviews with 78 pre-service teachers. The aim of the research was to diagnose how social transformations in the field of human gender identity shape students’ attitudes towards intersexuality and transgenderism. It has been demonstrated that pre-service teachers claim that the perception of gender identity changes along with moral changes, and the activities of the media and public benefit organizations lead to a change in the negative attitudes of society towards the problems of human biology in terms of gender, while at the same time students do not feel prepared for contact with an intersex or transgender student.

Author(s): Aleksandra Sobańska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

The article is set in the theoretical framework of feminist sociology and transgender studies. The author addresses the issue of transgender identity in the context of gender socialisation understood as a process which has real impact on the diagnosis of transgenderism, as well as on the life trajectory, including interests and career choices of transgender people. The article is based on the results of a close analysis of 18 narrative interviews with transgender women. In the first part the author interrogates such issues as: socialisation, gender socialisation, gender identity, and transgenderism. Particular attention will be paid to the phenomenon of passing – a term which functions both in the jargon of transgender people and in scientific literature. The second part of the article demonstrates the results of studies concerning the meaning of socialisation to the gender assigned at birth and transgender women’s attitudes towards gender roles, in particular towards the idea of passing.

Praca nad odczuciami. Matki w obliczu trudnych doświadczeń szkolnych ich dzieci

Author(s): Katarzyna Gajek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct the types of sentimental work that mothers perform in the context of their children’s difficult school experiences. The interpretative framework for the analysis of women’s actions is the category of sentimental work developed by Anselm Strauss and his colleagues. The analyzed material consists of autobiographical narrative interviews with women-mothers, collected as part of the international ISOTIS project. The empirical data was subjected to the coding procedure used in generating grounded theory, which allowed for the identification of six different types of sentimental work: interactional work, composure work, trust work, biographical work, identity work and rectification work. The results of the study indicate that mothers are key figures in the institutionalised learning process, performing a range of complex but unnoticed activities in the course of their daily practices. Identifying and characterising mothers’ sentimental work allowed to describe its relevance to teachers’ professional tasks and children’s functioning in school.

The Culture Industry and Transformation of the Value of Hope

Author(s): Selda Salman / Language(s): English Issue: 32/2021

In this paper I point to the degraded value of hope in the contemporary digital world and discuss the dangers of this transformation. Hope constitutes one of the basic drives that sustains vitality in the human species. Especially contemporary philosophers such as Hume, Kant, and Bloch, among others, consider hope from a philosophical perspective and despite their differences, they agree on the overall importance of hope as one of the fundamental motivations of humans towards a future life that makes striving possible. However, in the contemporary world, starting with the film industry as Adorno and Horkheimer stated, and later advanced by social media practices, hope becomes solely a hope of fame. This desire for fame is such that, as Baudrillard anticipated before the widespread use of the internet and the emergence of social media, a panoptical system is no longer required as people share their private life publicly, ‘hoping’ that they gain more followers, likes and attention. People exhibit ‘glamorous’, ‘beautiful’, and ‘delicious’ moments that constrain hope to one dimension and disconnect it from reality. From these points, I argue that what the contemporary world presents is a passive, negative hope that marks the loss of hope which should be productive and transformative.

Znaczenie zasad 3R w trosce o dobrostan zwierząt wykorzystywanych do doświadczeń naukowych. Podstawy prawne, ich aksjologiczne przesłanki oraz praktyczne wskazówki

Author(s): Agata Strządała / Language(s): Polish Issue: 32/2021

The article presents the legal basis of the Ethical Commissions for Animal Experiments in Poland and in the European Union as well as the genesis and evolution of the ethical prin-ciples guiding them. In particular, it focuses on the implementation of the so-called 3Rs (re-placement, reduction, and refinement) in research practice and in the care of laboratory ani-mals and animals participating in scientific experiments. Many institutions and organizations (the Supreme Audit Office, the European Commission, the Ethics Committee of Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and non-governmental organizations) indicate insufficient implementation of these principles in Poland. The article identifies main areas of these defi-cits and provides practical guidance for researchers. The text also diagnoses main problems and axiological disputes related to the activities of ethical committees responsible for guarding the welfare of experimental animals. Social perception of the issues of animal pain, emotional-ity, and awareness changes with the progress of biological knowledge, which affects the im-plementation of values in research practice. This process is mediated by ethics committees.

Patriotism Concept by Jędrzej Stanisławek

Author(s): Robert Boroch / Language(s): English Issue: 32/2021

Considering the idea of patriotism in Polish philosophical discourse is challenging for several reasons. The most challenging is its explication as a general idea. However, this seems to be the biggest challenge mainly because patriotism has become a socially coercive category of the political discourse of the right. Therefore, it appears that any debate addressing the issue of clarifying the essence of patriotism will sooner or later turn into a form of social activism and open political struggle. Consequently, it is not surprising, that in populist philosophies, categories such as patriotism, identity, nationality, ethnicity, or nationalism take on various semantic dimensions that substantially impact social attitudes towards the ruling elite. In this sense, patriotism can also be defined as a form of power over the individual, whose actions must be subordinated to the majority’s will. This essay discusses the propositions introduced by a contemporary Polish philosopher Jędrzej Stanisławek in an article titled “Patriotism” (“Patriotyzm”). Stanisławek is concerned with the accuracy of the argumentation that supports the populist model. Nevertheless, let us note that what is described in this article as populist philosophy is accepted by a few prominent intellectuals and philosophers associated with the Warsaw School of Philosophy of Ideas, as evidenced by the publication of Stanisławek’s article in one of the significant peer-reviewed Polish philosophical journals – Edukacja Filozoficzna (Philosophical Education). My focus will be on the validity of Stanisławek’s association between patriotism and Darwinian determinism

Lost Symbols in the Historic City of Puebla in Mexico

Author(s): Adriana Hernández Sánchez,Christian Enrique De La Torre Sánchez / Language(s): English Issue: 40/2022

Since its origin, the city of Puebla has had representative elements in its public spaces that have survived for a long time, they are ornamental and utilitarian objects which are landmarks of the city. Street furniture is a benchmark of identity too. All elements have legends, they are references that have given identity to streets and avenues. Natural elements also refer to a city’s identity, like trees. But the natural element that defined origin, trace and growth of the city is one of the least visible. In the sixties, the San Francisco River was piped, as a sign of the new modernity, and today it is a boulevard where thousands of cars pass. Thus, bridges and other types of elements that the population still remember, mainly the elderly, have been forgotten. In recent years, some initiatives have emerged to rescue the historical memory of daily life and the revaluation of repre­sentative objects of the city center, such as the Casa Analco Community Museum project, coordinated by the Faculty of Architecture of BUAP in collaboration with residents of the Analco neighborhood. This article discusses both the monuments, their relics, elements of nature that shape the city's identity, as well as the gradual loss of these symbols.

Welfare state agenda of successful populist parties in Czechia and Slovakia

Author(s): Tomáš Sirovátka,Steven Saxonberg,Lucie Novotná / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Several studies suggest that the welfare state agenda, which has traditionally been a crucial issue for left-wing populist parties (LWP), has become important for all kinds of populist parties: centrist-populist (CP) as well as right-wing populist (RWP). In this paper, we examine the role of the welfare state agenda in the election programmes of the Czech and Slovak populist parties that either won the elections in 2017 in the Czech Republic and in 2020 in Slovakia (this was the case of CP parties in both countries) or they won representation in Parliament in these elections (this was the case of RWP parties). The findings show that the welfare state agenda of CP and RWP parties regarding the pattern of welfare state objectives and deservingness criteria applied in their policy proposals does not differ so much in some respects. At the same time, the policy proposals of CP in the two countries diverge to some extent. Specific country political contexts such as the political opportunity structure and the manoeuvring of the populist parties may provide some explanation. Comparison with the other countries is a challenge for future research.

Social Policy or Vote-Buying: Recent Cases of Serbia and Montenegro

Author(s): Maja Marković / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The paper examines recent social interventions in Serbia and Montenegro, a Montenegrin tax reform aiming to increase salaries and Serbian wide scheme of cash transfers. These cases are examined through the prism of populism and political pragmatism trying to show how social policies and social interventions are prone to be used as part of the efforts the generate wide electoral support. Paper discusses social policies in the post-communist environment arguing that the communism generated a set of norms and expectations that make social policies in the Central and Eastern Europe more vulnerable to being manipulated for acquiring political gain than in some other countries. Aim of this paper is to draw the attention to the need of more serious and more long-term social planning which will not be subordinated to the short-term political goals. Only with that being achieved, countries in the Western Balkan will be able to see higher socio-economic progress.

The COVID-19 Pandemic in Poland. Implications for Senior Policies

Author(s): Kaja Zapędowska-Kling / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The paper discusses the results of a review of governmental measures implemented in 2020 and 2021 to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland, in particular the institutional and systemic solutions addressing senior citizens. The purpose of the paper is to answer primary research questions: a) can the initiatives put into action during the pandemic develop into new practices whose implementation is worth considering in the long term; b) does the experience gained during the pandemic help diagnose systemic failures or areas of senior policies that require new forms of management. The primary methodology used in the research was policy analysis, including an examination of policy outputs and policy outcomes, evaluative and normative analysis. A secondary issue discussed in the paper is a thematic analysis of public discourse, which leads to a conclusion that as the pandemic developed, the rhetoric used by decision-makers in respect of senior citizens changed - seniors became a social group perceived as deserving of care and support. The analysis is limited to national Polish political and legal context. The research results in a comprehensive diagnosis of challenges facing senior policies, as well as recommendations for future solutions and directions of action.
