After the system change in 1989, Wrocław faced the situation of “renegotiation” and reconstruction of collective identity, which was connected with the necessity of discovering the city history and rewriting and inventing it. This in turn was connected with the reconstruction of meaning inscribed in the city space. The Four Temples District, part of the Old Town, is an example of how history can become a starting point for the construction of a new meaning by inventing new symbols of the city space. The District is also a good example of how city elites (meaning either city authorities or associations) are engaged in constructing collective memory, and constructing ideological forms that are extrapolated either from the present image of the city or from its history. Ideas such as tolerance, dialog, multiculturalism, reconciliation, that are inscribed in the symbolic and material space, fitted well into ideological trends and became the emblems of the District and the city. The phenomenon of the District became attractive due to its ideological aspects and the City Council very quickly got involved in the “reconstruction” of a place symbolizing the “multicultural” profile of the city and its affiliations with tolerance. The District is not an emanation of Wrocław’s history; it is de facto a symbolic project “invented” recently as a contemporary projection of history.

Fifty Shades of Grey — there was much attention devoted to the books, then films and still is. This situation is due to the alleged revolutionary role of this work in discovering and transformation of feminine sexuality. The purpose of this article is to explain how the phenomenon of Grey turned out to be a marketing phenomenon and a social paradox. The „revolutionary” role of these pop-culture products has been limited to abolishing the taboos of feminine sexuality. However, it does not correlate with the real sexual emancipation of women who seem to desire a man’s domination in the erotic realm.

Habilitation is the key, but not sole element of the academic career in contemporary Poland. Upon attaining this position one transits between two distinct stages of the academic life: from subordination to primacy, from relative impairment to privilege. The problem of habilitation has been gaining importance over the last two decades in the context of such phenomena as generation gap and the need for efficient use of intellectual potential of the academic staff . The controversial character of habilitation is revealed by the criticism of this procedure, questioning of its rules and, in extreme cases, demands of its complete abolition. Opponents attack habilitation pointing to the pathologies of the archaic model of academic career. Its advocates focus more on the role of habilitation in the system of higher education as a guarantee of the high level of knowledge and academic skills. In our research, we note that the arguments supporting the abolition of habilitation revolve both around the criteria of its granting and those of efficiency and rationality of the process. We describe these motifs as the procedural dimension. The opposite (structural) dimension focuses on issues of hierarchy, its importance for the maintenance of order, continuation of the system and the social roles of young researchers with particular emphasis on the normative dimension (motivation and ethos).
