„Więźniowie natury” – rzecz o kształtowaniu się ludzkiego spojrzenia (przykład Maurycego Maeterlincka)

Author(s): Ireneusz Gielata / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 09/2016

Relying on Maurice Maeterlinck’s essays, the article reflects on the question of human perception of insects, especially termites. Spatially enclosed termitemounds impose specific way of life which, in Maeterlinck’s view, resembles human way. Following Gernat Böhme’s argument, this realization can only be attained if one accepts emotions in perception. By writing about “places of imprisonment” of living creatures, Maeterlinck was the first to depict human living space as natural imprisonment. At the same time, in his entomological monographs he initiated human experiencing of nature; the process which B¨ohme described as situating man in his surroundings.

„WORAUF SCHREIBEN WIR?” REPORTERN UND SCHRIFTSTELLERN AUF DIE FINGER GESCHAUT

Author(s): Ștefana-Oana Ciortea-Neamțiu / Language(s): German / Issue: 7/2014

The research has dealt with the medium as a carrier of the message and as the message itself for decades; my approach tries to shed the light on an area that has not yet been studied from this point of view, mainly the media used by the writers – authors or journalists –to record ideas, informations or even plans. The note, the message is in this case not intended for a wide audience, but for the personal use of the writer. Does the selected medium play a role? Is it chosen consciously or not? What does the medium stand for? These are some of the questions I am answering at.

„WYCHODZENIE Z CIENIA” PRZEZ SPORT — ANALIZA PROCESU UJAWNIENIA I SAMOAKCEPTACJI WŁASNEJ NIEPEŁNOSPRAWNOŚCI

Author(s): Jakub Niedbalski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2016

Disabled people are a social category that is very often at the effect of the stereotypes and prejudices prevalent in society. Frequently such persons suffer marginalization or exclusion. A disability can be the source of a stigma that defines the life of a human being both in the individual and social dimension. Only a portion of disabled persons manage to counteract the social stigmatization effectively, and above all to overcome their own fears about appearing in public with a body that is not fully functional. The author presents the changes occurring in the lives of persons with physical disabilities after their engagement in sports activities. Using Fritza Schütze’s theory of process structures and Anselm Strauss’s work on identity, he tries to show that engaging in sports could make it possible for a disabled person to move from a trajectory of suffering as a stigmatized person toward a biographical plan of action involving specific turning points and a reconstruction of the person’s ego.

„Wydarzenia medialne” w spektaklu greckiego kryzysu. Nieporządek, represje, mediatyzacja i polityka niepewnej przyszłości

Author(s): Eva Fotiadi / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 03/2015

The article discusses media events in the context of Greece before the rise of Syriza. Contemporary cases of political violence have been instrumentalized as a “war against anomie”. This makes it possible to analyze its highly medialised context, within which the discourse of an emergency situation has been formulated in Greece. The article discusses the broad impact of media events on voters outside of Athens, with particular attention being paid to the hunger strike chance of a young anarchist named Nikos Romanos, the media coverage of which serves as an example of counter-hegemonic media practices.

„Z czego się śmiejecie?”, czyli sztuka kabaretowa w perspektywie edukacyjnej

Author(s): Kamila Osip / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2012

The educational reality is nowadays increasingly associated with the philosophy of postmodernity. The new orientation leads researchers to explore new paths – one of them may be the inclusion of popular culture with all its potential, not excluding popular arts, to the educational canon. This text is an attempt to approximate the popular arts as having signi cant educational potential in reference to the critical pedagogy. I will try to prove that even purely entertaining aspects of culture may have educational content. First of all, I would like to describe a critical orientation in pedagogy; I will present its practical side in relation to the deconstruction of cultural meanings and  nally, I will show some consequent implications for relations between culture and education. The next part of my considerations will concern the popular culture as an educational area, with particular emphasis on a game as the source of culture and as an inherent element of popular arts. I will present in detail associations between popular arts and education based on Polish cabaret which I acknowledged as a place, where basic tasks and functions of critical pedagogy can be seen and realized. Finally, I will present some parts of interviews which had been conducted as my researches – these are the respondents’ opinions about cabaret and its interpretation. This part seems to be showing cabaret as a place of discourse, where a critical dialogue between the sender, the content and the recipient of cabaret transmission takes place.

„Zaginione” plemię Izraela — japońskie źródła mitu

Author(s): Marek Hoborowicz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2010

The research about Jewish colonization of South East Asia have been causing a lot of controversies. However the fact that in the Middle Kingdom begun the history of Jews living in the Far East seems to be unquestionable. The over-the-centuries presence of Jews in Eastern Asia didn’t result in building emigrant’s settlements in other countries of the region or in Japan. The Land of the Rising Sun was an unknown land for the Jewish merchants and travelers. According to the official statements this situation remained unchanged up to the second half of the 19th century. In relation to the historical sources about 50 Jewish families came to Yokohama in the late 70-ties of the 19th century. The emigrants came mostly from England, Germany, France, Russia and former Poland which was annexed by Russia and Austria. In the next years a lot of Jewish scientists and specialists were invited by the Japan government to China in order to rebuild and modernize this country. Meanwhile there were taken efforts to prove the presence of the Jews in the South Eastern Asia, who settled there after escape from Assyrian persecution in 771 B.C. and in the end conquered some primitive tribes and gave rise to the ancient civilizations. This research let the speculation that the ancient Jewish settlers were founders of the Japan imperial dynasty and created the warrior and aristocracy class. In the early 20-ties of the 20th century people were interested in discovering the Jewish origin of the Japanese society. In 1921-1922 the weekly paper “Israel’s Messenger” in Shanghai published several articles of Jewish and Japanese authors. They announced another discoveries and hypothesis about Jewish ancestors of Japanese society. These conceptions enjoyed people’s attention mainly at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Nowadays we can also find some publications and discourses which rise this question. There are a lot of people who agree with the thesis of the common Jewish-Japanese roots: not only Joseph Eidelberg and others mentioned previously but also representatives of different Japanese Neo-Christian sects and members of American sect Back Hebrews. All this causes that the myth of Japanese being lost Israeli tribe stays alive.

„Zajmując się dziećmi” znaczy „pomyśleć o rodzinie” – realizacja myśli bł. Edmunda Bojanowskiego we współpracy z rodziną

Author(s): Andrzej Jasnos / Language(s): Polish / Issue: S/2017

Family is the primary social cell in which every human being is born and raised. Its value is undeniable, and any attempt to distort this environment has a negative impact on the integral development of not only man but also society. The cooperation of different backgrounds in the process of education has become one of the issues addressed by Edmund Bojanowski. His thought of supporting the society of spouses and emphasizing the role of father and mother in shaping the personality of a young child today seems even more up-to-date. Without strong family values, you can not create strong societies that will serve the good of the whole but of the individual.

„Zanim adopcja zapuka do drzwi” – narracje pracowników wspierających dziecko w okresie oczekiwania

Author(s): Andrzej Ładyżyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2017

The paper discusses the phase immediately preceding adoption. In the light of the interviews with the people supporting this process, 3 of its aspects have been presented: perception of a child, preparation of the child to adoption and a phase of separation of the child with a foster family as a special moment in its life. The time preceding adoption can sometimes be helpful for a child to prepare for meeting its new parents and dealing with the vastness of feelings' alternation accompanying it. A great resposibility lays on the people taking care of the child in the intermediate institutions, the people working with the future parents and as well on the potential new caretakers. The narration provides a proof that this is a very diffucult time not only for the child, but also for all the people taking care of it.

„Zastój” w procesie komputeryzacji kształcenia z perspektywy analizy transakcyjnej

Author(s): Zbigniew Łęski / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 4/2017

Pomimo rosnącej obecności komputerów w procesie kształcenia ich zastosowanie w przeciętnej szkole wciąż znacząco odbiega od możliwości, jakie te urządzenia oferują. Autor przyczyn takiego stanu rzeczy upatruje w niedocenianiu przez badaczy problematyki relacyjnego charakteru człowiek–media, a także w istnieniu pewnego przekazywanego z pokolenia na pokolenie skryptu szkoły. Analiza transakcyjna jest tu propozycją koncepcji, która dzięki swej dostępności, przejrzystej terminologii oraz narzędziom może w znacznej mierze ułatwić przeprowadzenie badań uwzględniających powyższe problemy.; Despite an increasing presence of computers in the educational process, their use in an average school is still significantly different from the possibilities that these devices offer. The author sees the causes of such a situation in the fact that issues connected with the relationship between a person and a computer are underestimated by researchers, as well as in the existence of a certain school script, which is passed from generation to generation. Transactional analysis constitutes a concept which, due to its accessibility, clear terminology and tools, can greatly facilitate research that accounts for the problems mentioned above.

„Zbudowania” jako istotny element koncepcji wychowania Edmunda Bojanowskiego

Author(s): Iwona Szewczak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: S/2017

The article deals with formation which in Edmund Bojanowski’s approach constitutes one of the structural elements of the process of education. A founder of orphanages, Bojanowski puts forward the conception of integrated education understood as a method of moral, spiritual and religious formation implemented in the process of shaping children’s attitudes with the use of stories, songs and rituals. The goal of this method is to form a child from within and to help them prepare for an independent, responsible and good life. The instructor or the teacher plays the most important role in the process of formation, as they set an example for children with their own lives, thus shaping children’s moral and religious attitudes. The natural connection between formation and poetry preconditions the choice of instruments of moral upbringing, including tales, songs and rituals.

„Ziarno prawdy” jako nieklasyczna narracja spiskowa

Author(s): Beata Koper,Jakub Misun / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 02/2016

The article outlines possible links between three types of narrative: conspiracy, critical and crime narratives. The basic methodological assumption here is that questions need to be asked about how a narrative works rather than about what genre it represents. The essay’s thesis raises questions about the need to change our understanding of the role of conspiracy theories in reconstructing the causes and courses of events. The authors argue in support of conspiracy theory as a potential narrative, because they find nothing particular in its means of reasoning that would allow us to draw a distinct boundary between conspiracy theory and critical theory within the meaning proposed by Bruno Latour. A crime narrative – Zygmunt Miłoszewski’s novel Grain of Truth – is used as a tool to analyse the functioning of a conspiracy narrative in the detective story. Utilising the division into classical and non-classical conspiracy meta-narratives proposed by Franciszek Czech, the authors of the article ask questions about the limits of the detective’s rational conduct, and the sources of his hypotheses and means of argumentation.

„Zjednoczmy się, bracia!”. Uniwersalizm Ludwika Zamenhofa i jego źródła

Author(s): Agnieszka Jagodzińska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1-2/2017

Ludwik Zamenhof (1859-1917) is known first and foremost as the creator of Esperanto – an artificial international language. Famous for his linguistic project, Zamenhof also attempted to create a new religious/national system that could be accepted by anyone, no matter their religion, ethnicity, or language. This system, first called Hillelism and later Homaranism, was Zamenhof’s original response to the so-called Jewish Question in late 19th- and early 20th-century Europe.
