Visions of the futures are a topic relatively infrequently analysed in contemporary reflections on culture. The reason behind this state of affairs lies not only in the de-transcendentalisation of the image of the world, rejection of the positivist models of development and the failure of 20th century political utopias, but also in the changes in how culture is understood. Culture as a process, dynamic, liquid and open, contains the future as a dimension of human experience, and not as an external framework of temporal succession. Art is an example of such changes. Prophetic hopes associated with it lost their justification, when artists ceased to be regarded as brilliant visionaries, and the boundary between the author and the audience was blurred. Visions of the future were replaced by engaged artistic practice. A similar tendency can be found as we look for a place occupied today by the future among the values that determine our lifestyles.

The humanities and their transformations can be described by pointing to the metaphors used in them. The article is devoted to an analysis of two metaphors, characteristic of the Polish reflection on culture today. The first metaphor refers to Cicero’s well-known definition and the Latin etymology of the word colere. The metaphor culture as cult links culture to cultivation and care, but also to cult in the religious sense. Provided the Enlightenment-derived, normative model of development and progress is rejected, the culture as cult metaphor indicates the specific character of studying culture from the perspective of cultural studies as a lifestyle or way of living in accordance with values. In this perspective, cultivation, veneration, respect and care are examples of the process of experiencing values, the process which in its nature is dynamic and transformative. The second metaphor, culture as trance, emphasises the fluidity and openness of culture, the need to go beyond the boundaries set by the existing patterns of learning and studying culture and also by the nomadic nature of cultural studies. Pointing out the transgressive nature of culture and human beings, the culture as trance metaphor is also close to the perception of trance in religious studies, which links it to shamanism and ecstasy. Reflections on culture could benefit greatly from an analysis of religious contexts of both metaphors used in it.

The article examines transformations in the understanding and images of nature, and its relation with culture — beginning with sacralised wilderness as an opposition to human civilisation; through the park as a form of preserving and aesthetising wild nature, and an area of recreation and fun; to the forest as an effect of planned cultivation, profit-focused forest industry. Educational trails described in this context are considered to be a manifestation of the enlightened model of cognition, an illustration of the musealisation of forests by transforming them into thematic parks. This makes another stage in the current typical process of transforming the cultural image of nature. The forest as a thematic park forms a simulacral space where the opportunity of gaining experiences is limited to and replaced by erudite description of the world. This way, the forest ceases to play its symbolic role of representation of nature and source of sense.

Artykuł skupia się na fenomenie „powrotu religii” na Syberii po pierestrojce. Autorka opisuje różne formy owego powrotu po okresie radzieckiej przymusowej ateizacji, wskazując tego powody oraz cechy charakterystyczne. Stawia tezę, że „powracające religie” mogą być traktowane jako „religie wynalezione”, których status i znaczenie jest oparte na autorytecie władzy politycznej i wy­maga ciągłych negocjacji.

The text is concentrated on relations between concepts of privacy and solitude nowadays. The author claimed that privacy replaced traditional metaphors and images of solitude like island, mountain or dessert. Protection of privacy and bringing it to the limelight, privatization of religion and the special place occupied in contemporary culture by a search for one’s own identity reveal not only a change in society’s ideas about privacy, but also its axiotic dimension connected with authenticity, creativity and freedom. The meaningful result of this process is connected with replacing religious Transcendence by private individual internal experience, which became unrecognizedand mysterious for the subject itself. It proved to new conceptualization of privacy and ofsolitude as well.

The article seeks to explore the role of Edith Stein’s memory in creating the contemporary identity of the city of Wrocław. The author distinguishes between two forms of this memory, that is to say remembrance and symbolic places (lieux de mémoire). The places of remembrance of Edith Stein, who was born in Breslau, are connected with her biography and the time she spend in this city. The symbolic places of the memory of Edith Stein represent the values of her life (such as the European Peace Cross, meticulously analysed by the author). Both forms of memory variously transformed the space of the city in significant landscape.

his article is concerned with the meaning of death in representations of the other world in modern culture. The images of life after death, which are derived from religious traditions, are transformed as a result of the process of desacralization. Changes in the traditional iconography of the other world as well as its new representations in the media and popular culture (particularly in fi lms), can be discussed either in terms of saving the symbolic meaning of death or losing its importance in modern culture. Having studied certain examples, the author concludes that the search for the meaning of death inthe present is less connected with traditional or modern representations of the other worldthen with the human experience.

The article presents a conceptual basis of the research project: “Visual organization of the space of the town: continuity, interpretation, historic and cultural dimensions”. S. Avanesov, who is the author of this project, starts from rethinking the metaphysic idea of human existence. It is needed for taking into account 1. existential status of the visual and 2. the task of the project: describing forms of visual activity and organization of the space of the city. Variability of such space is showed using the example of a Siberian town Tomsk and provides a typological proposal. The authors stress that visual activity in creating and transforming space can be treated as inhabitants’ participation in culture. Photographing city is a good case to demonstrate how the way of perception and visual construction of urban landscape meet and interfere.
