The essence of the problem of women equality with reference to their access to higher education has undergone a substantial overhaul in the last decade. In the quantity context, it is difficult to refer to the idea of women’s discrimination; just the opposite – among the students’ population as a whole, women are gaining a growing majority. In connection with the above, the majority of analyses concentrate on differences in the prestige of higher education institutions having both sexes as students, as well as on the choice of studies (specialisation) determined by the sex difference. The article deals with the diagnosis of the significant increase of educational aspiration of women, being an issue for the last decades.

Istota problemu równości kobiet w zakresie dostępu do szkolnictwa wyższego uległa w ostatniej dekadzie znaczącej restrukturalizacji. W kontekście ilościowym, trudno już mówić o ich dyskryminacji; wręcz przeciwnie – wśród populacji studentów w jej całości kobiety posiadają rosnącą większość. Większość analiz koncentruje się w związku z tym na różnicach w prestiżu instytucji edukacji wyższej, w których studiują kobiety i mężczyźni, jak również na płciowo zróżnicowanym wyborze studiowanych kierunków (dyscyplin). Artykuł przybliża diagnozę znaczącego wzrostu – trwającego już kilku dekad - aspiracji edukacyjnych kobiet.

The purpose of my text is an attempt to define the context of the global fascination of super-bestseller, the book Fifty Shades of Grey – regardless of the fact that literary critics agreed that this is a novel very poor in every aspect. What makes this erotic-romantic story so exceptional, among others, to the extent that it meets with a huge “cultural vindictiveness”, entering into public discourse invasively, while hundreds of others – good or bad books are ignored? The main context of interest/fascination with the book Fifty Shades of Grey, in my opinion, is associated with putting again – and doing it radically – question about the permitted forms of female sexuality. Here we are dealing with a sudden shift – by the author – the debate in this area “a few miles ahead” and cancellation of several important tenets, including the dogma of women as innocent virgin, the dogma of women as mothers and wives but also feminist dogma of women socially and sexually liberated from the domination of men.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the dominant ideal of beauty in the Victorian period. The author defi nes mechanisms of repression and symbolic violence over the body of the Victorian upper-class woman, connected with the phenomenon of social control over the woman’s body and identity. The author assumes that the desire to achieve physical beauty has always been a source of a biographical experience that was constitutive for a woman, a source of a separate identity for her in comparison with a man. The historical changes of the ideals of the beautiful body are expressive of the complex interactions between the social roles of women and the dominant ideology of femininity as well as scientifi c and medical knowledge.

The history of women`s acces to an academic career is an excellent exemplification of all theories and concepts of gender inequality. It can be said that it was within the Academy that the concepts of „glass ceiling” or „sticky floor” found their very radical realizations. It is also here that gender inqualities overlapped with racial, class and ethnic inqualities. In genear, all authors emphasize – both in relation to the past and the present – „the lack of adequate representation of women in the professoriate” and in the exercise of academic authority. There are many theories trying to explain this imblance. In addition to strongly coservative claims that different career paths result from biological „developmental” differences of both sexes, there are also those that emphasize socio-cultural factos. The purpose of my text is not to analyse the field of academic careers for men and women, nor to reconstruct the theory in this area, but to attempt to present selected historical contexts, mainly in the context of the University of Poznań in a slightly broader analytical context.

The article is aimed at reconstructing the selected problems of English language adaptation in Japanese society. The author is convinced that there is a whole range of phenomena and paradoxes in Japan that fit perfectly the dilemma of cultural and national controversies around the English as a global language and around the concept of cultural imperialism. The main tension is connected with the fact that such societies as Japan want to keep their own mono-ethnicity and it is obvious that one of the most important components of it is native language treated as a form of embodiment of Japanese values and traditions. So, English is a threat to monolith of Japanese nation. On the other hand Japanese are aware that English helps their nation to rise the chance in global competition in global markets as well as it connects Japan to the world culture.

This article concerns „gaokao” Chinese exams. I show how the „high stakes” tests (the essence of these exams) create the winners and losers in the battle for stratification success. They set up, as a one-time „selection act”, the trajectory of a career and the whole future life of young Chinese. At the same time, they are an example of the entanglement of the testing process in politics and of the enormous (and overwhelming) social pressure on young people.

Tests have influence on the phenomenon of stratification and selection of students, their lifestyle and way of thinking. Without a doubt, they have their hidden curriculum. At the micro level tests shape the identity of the individual. They are a factor of socialization. On the other hand, at the macro level tests are the significant instrument of educational policy governments. In my article I analyse the second problem – in the context of international developments PISA tests, which are an instrument of neo-liberal policies of national governments, as well as the OECD. The tests are part of the abandonment of the idea of "equality in education" for the system market and competitiveness, in which education ceases to be a "public good" and becomes a "personal good." The essence of the hidden curriculum PISA test is the pursuit of homogenization student population living in culturally different countries as well as the shaping the attitudes of rivalry.

One of the most fundamental principles which underpins the functioning of Western societies is the gender binary system, based on the eternal division into men and women as well as their social and biological predestination. Critiques of the binary system claim that there is an apparent lack of symmetry between the polar opposites constituting the binary system. The male-female dichotomy appears to be asymmetrical since the binary opposition is viewed as unequal: females are dominated and controlled by males and forced to perform less significant, minor (less valued) social roles. Binarism refers to identity and social roles, as well as to physical attributes of females and males. The consequence of binarism on the realm of physicality is the view that a woman is obliged to constantly improve her attractiveness so that she could be “won over in an impressive way” by “the best possible partner”. The main aim of this article is examination of social anxiety over the effects of women’s emancipation, which is believed to give rise to the masculinization of females, particularly those who have achieved social and professional success, and aspire to (or have already acquired) a high social status, income, or professional position. The theoretical considerations are confronted with results of the qualitative research related to female managers' identity.

Contemporary educational policy of many developed countries is permeated with the ideology of neoliberalism, the essence of which is to increase the efficiency and "focus on the best," while respecting the principle of indifference to sex, race or social origin. It is belevied that in neoliberalism, education - seen as the "good of the individual" is bringing economic benefits to society. Learning / knowledge becomes a commodity, an individual is treated in accordance with the logic of neoliberalism as "innovative entrepreneur", which determines his/her own success or failure. Here there is a dominance of rhetoric of performance, efficiency and standards together with conviction that schools should operate as excellent corporations that bring profits through routine activities, procedures, diagnosis and evaluation. In this context one can ask the question: is it still possible, to believe in emancipatory function of education?

From the perspective of feminist analysis, the painting is considered to be androcentric. It is believed that artworks were created by men, for men and from their point of view. One can even say that, men spoker through the bodies and identities of heroine images in the painting. From this point of view, painting has been accused not only of the lack of women as authors of works of art, but also of the lack of representations of the female experience. Logically, from this perspective, images of women on the canvas are often not simple reflection of reality, but they crystallize dreams, anxieties and feelings of their male artists. There is no doubt that theye are also imbued with ideologies concerning gender. Three images that will be examined in this paper were created in the Victorian era (the dates of their creation are: 1887, 1890, 1896). They all reflect anxieties about womanhood in the late nineteenth century, primarily manifested in the creation of a new image of a woman - the femme fatale. On the other hand the women as objects of the painting are treated as a sexual object for male creator and viewer. Every woman in the paintings could be described as "being out of control". There is a paradox here: the woman is simultanesly out of control and controlled by men. There is a worth to add that every painting has extremely sugestive impact on the viewer and amazing articstic value.

The article is devoted to the instrumental use of intercultural ideas by global corporations to increase their competitiveness in global markets. At the beginning the assumptions of multicultural education are presented, especially these which are related to the concepts of intercultural identity, sensitivity and empathy. Next, the phenomenon of the marketing use of cultural differences is considered. The main part of the article comprises an analysis of the identity of a global corporation leader which is assumed to function very well in various cultures to materialize the business of their corporation. The author presents various views on the features of this identity which are clearly connected with corporative concepts of relations between Western rationality, profit orientation and cultural diversity. There is an analysis of such features which should be typical of a global corporative leader as: competence of being involved in “authentic relations”, “intercultural intelligence”, holistic approach, “management of intercultural difference”, “transcultural leadership”, “intercultural effectiveness”, “results of intercultural negotiations”. The author points that in practice global intercultural leader only mechanically learns shallow competences which let him adapt situationally to the patterns of other cultures. Such a leader is a Western person, especially due to all intercultural interactions in English which certainly absorb the richness of cultural difference. In the last part of article, the example of elite Swiss secondary schools is taken into account, where the young sons and daughters from the richest families from all cultures and continents are prepared to the role of global intercultural leaders. In the conclusion, the author confronts the futures of the figure of a global leader with traditional ideals of intercultural education.

W tekście podjęto problem instrumentalnego wykorzystania idei międzykulturowości przez globalne korporacje w celu zwiększenia swojej konkurencyjności na globalnych rynkach. Na wstępie przedstawione są założenia edukacji międzykulturowej, w szczególności te, które odnoszą się do pojęcia międzykulturowej tożsamości, wrażliwości i empatii. Z kolei przedstawiono zjawisko wykorzystywania różnicy kulturowej w celach marketingowych. Główna część tekstu poświęcona jest analizie tożsamości globalnego korporacyjnego lidera, który w założeniu potrafidoskonale funkcjonować w różnych kulturach, po to, aby realizować interesy reprezentowanej przez siebie korporacji. Autorka przywołuje różne poglądy na temat cech tej tożsamości, które wpisują się w korporacyjną koncepcję relacji między zachodnią racjonalnością i orientacją na zysk a różnorodnością kulturową. Przedstawione są takie charakteryzujące rzekomo międzykulturowego korporacyjnego lidera cechy, jak: zdolność do wchodzenia w autentyczne interakcje, międzykulturowa inteligencja, podejście holistyczne, „zarządzanie różnicą międzykulturową”, „transkulturowe przywództwo”, „międzykulturowa efektywność”, „rezultaty międzykulturowych negocjacji”. Autorka podkreśla, iż w praktyce globalny międzykulturowy lider posiada jedynie mechanicznie wyuczone płytkie kompetencje do sytuacyjnego dostosowania do wzorów innych kultur. Pozostaje postacią Zachodu, tym bardziej że wszystkie międzykulturowe biznesowe interakcje odbywają się w języku angielskim, który z pewnością wchłania bogactwo kulturowej różnicy. W ostatniej części tekstu pokazany jest przykład elitarnych szwajcarskich szkół średnich, w których młodzi synowie i córki z najbogatszych rodzin z wszystkich obszarów kulturowych i kontynentów przygotowywani są do roli globalnych międzykulturowych liderów. W konkluzji autorka konfrontuje przedstawione wyżej założenia, odnoszące się do postaci globalnego lidera z tradycyjnymi ideałami edukacji międzykulturowej.
