A discrepancy between emotional reactions of old people and their depiction may be noticed in literature. Stereotypically, old age connotes worse functioning and negative feelings. On the other side many studies suggest that negative affect may decrease with age. In the study the part of emotional knowledge of two generations was compared. 66 young adults and 61 old people complet- ed a questionnaire in which they estimated the probability of emotional experiences in described situ- ations. The estimation was made three times and related to (1) the subject, (2) the subject's generation, (3) the opposite (younger or older) generation. Results show that old people perceive their own negative emotions as being more likely than young adults perceive their own feelings. Younger people perceived old people's emotional reactions correctly but the older group underestimated the probability of the other group's emotions, which potentially may be the reason of intergenerational misunderstandings.

The article examines the problem of Dechristianization and secularization in nineteenth-century Europe, with a special emphasis on the Roman Catholic Church’s ways of reacting to modernity. The Church managed to come to terms with modernity and to escape secularization at the price of supporting modern radical nationalism in the early twentieth century.

A Marriage of Convenience: the Roman Catholic Church and Modernity in Nineteenth-Century EuropeThis paper examines the problem of Dechristianization and secularization in nineteenth-century Europe, with a special emphasis on the Roman Catholic Church’s ways of reacting to modernity. The first part deals with changes in religious attitudes, on individual and collective levels, in the midst of rapid social and intellectual changes that took place in the nineteenth century. The building of the modern secular state structures was among the most important factors that weakened the position of the established churches.The second part deals with the Roman Catholic Church. The argument is that the Church managed to come to terms with modernity and to escape secularization at the price of supporting modern radical nationalism in the early twentieth century. The Church, especially since the times of Pope Leo XIII, chose to embrace modernity in its conservative form as an alternative to the dominant rationalist-liberal type. It was a modernity nevertheless, and the transformations of the Catholic Church through the nineteenth and early twentieth century should be understood in terms of modernization (although an unenthusiastic one) rather than a resistance to modernity. The problem of Catholic liberalism and the reasons for its rather moderate influence is also discussed. On the whole, Peter Berger was right that “modernity is not necessarily secularizing; it is necessarily pluralizing”, i.e. it creates various possibilities of behaviour that can, but do not have to, lead to secularization.

The King is Not Naked. Regarding Criterias for Evaluating Historiographiacal ClassicsHenryk M. Słoczyński’s monograph (Światło w dziejarskiej ciemnicy. Koncepcja dziejów i interpretacja przeszłości Polski Joachima Lelewela, Kraków 2010) is the first synthetic presentation of Joachim Lelewel’s historical thought for many years. Lelewel, generally considered as one of the founders of modern Polish historiography, is critically analysed by Słoczyński who attempts to prove that many praises bestowed on Lelewel’s historical oeuvre are unfounded in the light of closer reading of his texts.Słoczyński’s book is meticulously researched and sheds much new light on Lelewel’s intellectual development. It stresses, the role of the 1830–1831 uprising as a watershed in the evolution of his views on Polish history. At the same time, according to Słoczyński, Lelewel was not only mistaken in his detailed views but also used an ultra-romantic methodology that was flawed even according to 19th-century standards. This methodology, or rather philosophy of history, imposed on Lelewel preconceived metaphysical categories that determined his findings. The present review article attempts to demonstrate that Lelewel’s thought was deeply rooted in the historical thinking of his epoch and that he shared his metaphysical assumptions with other European historians of his generation. Besides, it is the intellectual value as such, rather than factual “correctness” as established by later research that should serve as the criterion of evaluation for any thinker of any past generation.

Most historians studying the evolution of the concept of nation and national idea in East Central Europe, assume that through the nineteenth century the political meaning was gradually giving place to the ethnic understanding of ‘nation’. Without radically questioning this evolution of the meaning, I would like to stress that it is far from obvious. Starting with the Enlightenment, the term and concept of ‘nation’ were used so widely in the Polish public debates that it is relatively easy to find quotations to support any generalisation. Any decision about choosing some source materials and discarding some others is inevitably grounded in certain methodological and philosophical assumptions. Some assumptions have to be accepted (for otherwise, a historian would not be able to say anything), but we need to be conscious that their choice is, in the last resort, arbitrary.

W artykule przedstawiono analizę domów prywatnych, które dzięki mobilności ich elementów odpowiadają potrzebom współczesnych mieszkańców. Przedmiotem badań są wybrane domy zrealizowane w latach 1996-2011 w Europie i Stanach Zjednoczonych, uzupełnione analizami zjawiska mobilności w twórczości, między innymi Gerrita Rietvelda i Ludwiga Miesa van der Rohe. W artykule dokonano analizy zmian, jakim podlegają forma i funkcja w wyniku wprowadzenia do domu ruchomych elementów, które dostosowano do psychofizycznych potrzeb ich właścicieli. Mobilność w architekturze domu jest czynnikiem, który pozwala dopełnić i rozszerzyć spełnianie tych potrzeb przy użyciu współczesnego języka architektonicznego wywiedzionego z ruchu modernistycznego. Podczas badań stosowano metody analityczne i porównawcze. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że rozwój domu kinetycznego obejmuje coraz bardziej istotne elementy budynku, co zmienia w znaczący sposób odbiór formy oraz jej dynamikę i artykulację. W domach kinetycznych jest widoczne rozluźnienie struktury funkcjonalnej i przestrzennej oraz użycie przestrzeni in between, co w połączeniu z mobilnością elementów świadczy o sumowaniu się zjawisk występujących we współczesnej architekturze. Dom kinetyczny stwarza duże możliwości zmian formy i przestrzeni, których rodzaj, skala i czas są uzależnione od stylu życia mieszkańców. Różnorodność przestrzenna uzupełniona mobilnością może kompensować brak zmian lub niemożliwość ich kontroli w innych sferach aktywności życiowej człowieka. Jest też czynnikiem sprzyjającym tworzeniu Miejsca przez zamieszkujących je ludzi. Wraz ze wzrostem mobilności elementów domu podwyższa się poziom personalizacji formy i przestrzeni oraz identyfikacji mieszkańców z miejscem. Doświadczanie zmian formy i przestrzeni staje się bardziej intensywne.

The aim of the article is an analysis of private houses, which, thanks to the mobility of their elements, meet the needs of modern residents. The subject of the research are selected houses built in 1996-2011 in Europe and the USA, supplemented with analyses of the phenomenon of mobility in the works of, among others, Gerrit Rietveld and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The article analyzes the changes in form and function as a result of introducing mobile elements into the home, adapted to the psychophysical needs of their owners. Mobility in home architecture is a factor that allows us to complete and extend the fulfilment of these needs using the contemporary architectural language derived from the Modern Movement. Analytical and comparative methods were used during the research. The research shows that the development of the kinetic house includes more and more important elements of the building, which significantly changes the perception of the form, as well as its dynamics and articulation. In kinetic houses, the loosening of the functional and spatial structure as well as the use of in between space is visible, which, combined with the mobility of elements, proves the summation of phenomena occurring in the contemporary architecture. A kinetic house creates great opportunities for changes in the form and living spaces, the type, scale, and time of which depend on the lifestyles of residents. Spatial diversity supplemented with mobility may compensate for the lack of changes or the impossibility of their control in other spheres of human life activity. It is also a factor conducive to the creation of a Place by the residents. As the mobility of the elements of the house increases, the level of personalization of the form and space as well as the identification of residents with the Place increases. Experiencing changes in form and space becomes more intense.

A short essay can only flag the problem of creation of the image of Budapest as a capital city, and a symbol or epitome, of the Hungarian Kulturnation. I will focus on four matters: first, a few examples will be used to briefly exemplify the ideo­logical programme of Historicist architecture. Second, the reception of this pro­gramme in the period’s journalistic writing will be shown (in brief, again), with particular emphasis on the craving for paralleling the West. Third, I will show how the Art Nouveau, rebelling against Historicism, essentially took over its historical mission. And, fourth, I will show the ways in which certain authors discerned already then the pretentiousness, or superficiality, of success. To end with, I will make a reference to the Sonderweg issues.

This introductory article offers intellectual frames and historical context to the subsequent collection of essays. There are two questions their authors try and answer: First, what discussions on the respective specificities of historical develop­ment were carried out in various countries of East Central Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Second, what was the scope of topics to be discussed, whereas their aim is to interweave this description or analysis of the debates with posing the question regarding the core of the matter – and this by showing a series of case studies where the approach connected, in some way or another, with the peculiar path concept might seem useful. For the purpose of this volume, the notion of peculiar path is approached in a possibly broad context. The structure of the nineteenth-century city, formation of a modern national awareness: such problems are suitable, according to the authors, for research in view of multiplicity of peculiar paths: rather than highways along which the Zeitgeist of a nation or humanity streaks, these would be medium-rank and medium-sized roads on which medium-scale processes and occurrences roll along.

What do we actually measure as music-induced emotions?

63%
EN
The paper presents the results of a systematic review of 61 empirical studies in which emotions in response to music were measured. The analysis of each study was focused on the measurement of emotion components and the conceptualization of emotion both in hypothesis and discussion. The review does not support the claim that music evokes the same emotional reactions as life events do, especially modal emotions. Notably, neither a high intensity of feelings, nor intentionality were confirmed in relation to musical experiences, the emergence of specific action tendencies, or specific physiological changes. Based on the obtained results, it is recommended to use the terms “affect” or “music emotions” with reference to emotions experienced in reaction to music and to abandon the term “emotions” as misleading.
