The Essay 'Museum exhibition. About domestication process' treats domestication as a philosophical problem, which rise of human being's need because of sense and safe. Author has convinced, searching for durability in the changing world of happenings. This kind of situation always inspires Greek philosophers, for example Parmenides, also metaphysical systems from the beginning of Christian times in diverse ways, it domesticated human in the grace of God world, found by great virtues and order - as Saint August wrote. On the other hand, it is possible notice, that domestication performs as individual existence, after this look there is another perspective. Author suggests, that domestication belongs only to the childhood, when this sensual, bodily immersion into the space-time continuum is the act of participation in the world of values. In the case, when we are interested in designation - what is domestication at all, author confirms - there are many answers, for example in the Emanuel Lévinas's works. As the philosopher, he treats domestication as happening, and the place is a home, but this documented moment is not ascribed into the place, but it realizes that using by sweetness and intimacy full of warmness. Domestication creates society, and sensuality has an ethical plan, sweetness and warmness signal about bodily closeness, visual effects become secondary. In the next volume, author deals with the question - Is it possible, that domestication experience can garner, replace again or recall again? She uses Gaston Bachelard's quote to convince, that sensation of domestication has found inside daydream, this is a very special moment, which lets experience cosmic and individual unity. Above all, this essay shows, sense of domestication appears around the table, home, temple or even agora. It is connected with establishment place, which gives a feeling: 'feels like home', that is a way of human freedom. Author also has assured, that it is possible to describe a topography of domestication, which consist of zones and rings, it shows what is close and far, places identified with authentic experience of closeness and these, which are connected with formal relations or accidental relations. In the last conclusion, author has affirmed - in this happening situation, which creates a relation with human being (in the meaning of entirety) and society, these intriguing figures of domestication, which are an act and go between art and support by exhibit cultural practices.

The article focuses on the space imaginary of the Russian orthodox believers after the collapse of the Soviet Union. I note the symbiosis of secular/sacral ways of space domestication that seems to be a Russian culture distinctive feature, and reflect on the connotation, which the secular state territory must evoke in a religious consciousness. Next, I try to reconstruct the orthodox space images generated when the territory of the atheistic USSR undergoes deconstruction and in the moment of a reliable stabilization when the new Russian cultural meta-narration obtains more and more concrete forms. I put a special attention to the category of 'world', that might be associated, in both space and axiological aspect, with the territory of the historical Russia. The article is based on the analysis of the 550 short narrations published in the orthodox papers of the investigated period.

It is believed that the history of laboratory rat dates back to 1820-ies, which is about 300 generations. This relatively short evolutionary distance, drastically different environment and selective breeding could have caused differences in behaviour between the laboratory rat and his wild counterpart - Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus). The vast majority of research concerning differences between wild and laboratory rats was conducted over 30 years ago. The knowledge acquired as a result of that research seems far from being complete. Over a quarter of a century could have deepened the described differences. Nowadays the change in experimental approach, in favour of low stress conditions, can give a new insight into this problem. This article describes process of establishing a laboratory line of wild Norway rat, which will take part in a broad series of comparative studies. 16 wild rats were trapped in 5 distant parts of Warsaw. Most of wild rats successfully adapted to captive conditions, mating successfully and producing litters, which have survived to adolescence.

Author is using a poetical Hölderlin's phrase - Man is living here in poetic way and makes a trial answering the questions, such as: what is exactly 'home'? human being's habitation?These questions constitute a primary consideration which is focus on Juliusz Slowacki's creativity. Author makes a description of rooting images funds rooting phenomenon, during his consideration he uses philosopher's ideas such as - Martin Heidegger, Gaston Bachelard for confirmed thesis. He would like to presents Bachelard's home suggestive from figures of material houses till much more interior home for example oneirology or imaginary. After this intriguing introduction, author asks - how Slowacki built domestication of his own? As author has convinced, answer is quick - using poetical way, because of childhood period the Great poet did not have his own home. Moreover, he used to live with strangers what makes an example of contemporary model of situations as nomadic or extirpation. Next issue shows, searching for proper rooting is funded on biography's dream which constitutes a right oneirology home. As the results is a disruption of one-dimensional standard of romanticism's home. It seems, that rooting or domestication is an elementary task for imagination, but also ontology too. Author has convinced, for our modern generation is very important issue concentrated on ways of rooting, because we live as population without roots; people, who are homeless. Slowacki's creativity constitutes basic answers for these questions. The Visionary images of the Great poet make a reflection in different conceptions of non-aggressive cohabitation ways which are existing in our cities of gardens.

The aim of the present paper is to compare and discuss translations of cultural references to Polish culture texts in Wisława Szymborska’s poem into four languages: English, French, German and Italian. The analysis encompasses intertextual elements from various culture texts, e.g. poems, legends, folk songs, which are explicitly given in poems. The strategies adopted in all versions are compared and evaluated with a view to determining similarities and differences as well as the factors which conditioned the choice of the strategy. Special attention is paid to lacunary connotations evoked by the references at issue.

Some doubtful conclusions appearing from the Gautier paper concerning mammal bones of the Stone Age forager site Dudka in the N.E. Poland is discussed. The choice of particularly an island for yearly, seasonal encampment is argued as economically profitable - for fishing and hazelnut gathering, but ungulates hunting carried on the mainland. Traces of keeping semi-domesticated pigs on the island are searching mainly in palaeobotanical data. The controversial method for distinguishing domesticated mammals from their wild relatives is discussed. Some individual bones (of bison, horse, dog, and pig) are re-examining, because their correct identifications are important for the history of these species in the Polish Plain - time of occurrences, status in hunter-gatherer society including eventual local domestication.

No doubt the world without Winnie the Pooh, Pippi Longstocking, Pinocchio or Moomin Trolls would be less colourful. Characters from fairy tales imperceptibly slip into young reader's minds and tend to stay there forever. Children accept them unconditionally and do not ask questions about their descent. Children's response to books is usually very spontaneous: a love at first sight or an immediate dislike. Therefore, it is very important that they receive 'the best' - not only beautiful and wise books but also book that are skillfully translated. Discussing the role of the translator of children's literature, this article focuses on such issues as child - translator relation and translator - author dichotomy. It points to different attitudes toward the translator's creativity and 'visibility'. It examines terminological ambiguities of such notions as 'adaptation', 'reconstruction', 'rewriting' and 'translation'. Finally, it deals with translation challenges that arise from didactic, entertaining and aesthetic functions of children's books.

This special issue on time and cultural space in translation is significant for practice, and equally important for its theoretical aspect. Both time and space are universal constraints and have integral roles in every literary translation because in every literary text no action can exist separate from the constraints of time and space (the primary procedures of translation across time and both cultural and geographic space are historizing versus modernizing). These two basic types of translation strategy (foreignization and domestication) are important from the viewpoint of the identity and historical cultural accuracy of translated literature. Foreignization highlights the foreign culture and prevents it from being absorbed by the target culture. Foreignization emphasizes the foreignness of the foreign text and can be achieved if translators use the transference of source language cultural words, proper names and connotations. A domestication principle used throughout our long history is that translators adapt or delete foreign components of a text, above all references to reality, allusions and connotative words. Translation is primarily a time- and space-bound process, so it is inevitable that translation studies will research how the transposition of an original text occurs into a foreign cultural “time-space”

The Human Behaviour Complex has been defined as a set of human-specific social behaviours (Csanyi, 2000), arguing that any account of human social evolution has to account for the full set of these skills. It is assumed that over the course of hominization the parallel emergence of the elements of this complex and their simultaneous alterations gave rise to human-specific behaviour. The traditional approach for studying the evolutionary emergence of human social cognition is based on comparisons with apes and monkeys as model species suggesting a homologue relationship between nonhuman primates and humans. Recently, however, research interest has focused on other species offering analogue models of the evolution of human social cognitive abilities. It seems that dogs provide an adequate behavioural model for studying some aspects of human social competence before the emergence of linguistic abilities, especially in the utilisation of visual and non-linguistic vocal signals. In the present paper reviewing the parallels between human and dog behaviour the authors argue that the convergent social evolution in dogs can be used to model the early (prelinguistic) state of human social evolution. They suggest that functionally analogue forms of many traits of the human behaviour complex are present in dogs. The dog behaviour complex incorporates those dog-specific traits which were influenced by the behavioural adaptation to the human environment and made the dog able to perform human analogue forms of social competence.

An attempt has been made in the current paper to dispel two myths concerning Peter Simon Pallas, myths which have led historians of biology to distort the picture of some of the general biological ideas developed by that eminent naturalist of the Age of Enlightenment. The first point dealt with in the paper involves the myth that Pallas had allegedly drafted a 'tree of life' diagram, one of the many graphic representations of this kind to appear in later times, illustrating the structure of the organic world. The tree, of which Pallas merely left a short description (but not a depiction), took - in the articles of authors who wrote about it - a variety of graphic forms (largely dependent on the authors' pictorial inventiveness), with all the authors assuring the readers that they illustrated their reasoning with the help of Pallas's tree of life, but never mentioning that it was they themselves who had drawn it. The current paper presents a juxtaposition of a number of such diagrams, drawn by different authors: the great diversity of the diagrams is sufficient proof that the existence of one, original 'Pallas tree' is just a myth. Another aspect of the myth has to do with the view that the tree supposedly illustrated phylogenetic dependencies - in fact, Pallas described affinity relationships between groups in the animal world. The present paper investigates how the 'tree of life' myth has developed, and reveals the mechanism that has most likely led to the myth being perpetuated in writings on the history of biology. The second issue discussed in the current paper relates to the myth of how Pallas's general views on biology allegedly evolved. The naturalist was supposed to have moved from transformism (characteristic of early stages of his work) to the idea of the immutability of species, formed in the period of his full scientific maturity. The current paper proves, inter alia on the basis of little known and not easily accessible writings by the scholar, that Pallas espoused the Age of Enlightenment's deism, an important element of which was the idea of the immutability of species, to which Pallas steadfastly subscribed. On the other hand, the analysis presented in the paper has revealed that Pallas seemed to consider the problem of species on two planes: that of free-roaming wild species, which remained absolutely immutable, and that of domesticated species, which did manifest some mutability, largely sustained by human effort but never transgressing species boundaries. It was also - and only - under domestication that monsters appeared. Pallas did contemplate, not without much hesitation, teratogenesis as a possible mechanism behind speciation, but - given the lethal character of monstrous modifications - he did not treat it as the real mechanism of speciation.
