The paper presents the tension between the dynamic and the static understanding of multiculturalism in the public sphere, which in turns influences audiovisual strategies of cultural diversity implementation in the media, basing on the example of communicative strategies of the Polish public broadcaster (Telewizja Polska). In analyzing the consequences of the implementation of these two strategies on media practice, the paper focuses on the length of programme broadcasting as well as the genre (among others), and how these may create niche markets for multiculturalism in the media.

The term 'anthropological imagination' means the contestation of Western modernity's existing social order through comparison to a non-Western other. Anthropologists used to perceive this distinction through the concept of culture. The author investigates three fundamental 'turns' of applying imagination into culture research in the history of anthropology. The main thesis of the essay is that today we face a new form of post-anthropological imagination. 'Culture' begins to be a common denominator of the ideology of multiculturalism

In today’s world we can observe a considerable rise of society’s cultural diversity. Western societies are more and more internally differentiated and the word multiculturalism has become a part of our glossary for good. This phenomenon is, by many, seen as a threat to their own identity and integrity. A xenophobia, a fear of strangers appears. The alternative for this seems to be to blur diverse identities and efface differences between various groups. In connection with the emergence of these phenomena rise a need for a theoretical reflection aiming to resolve these problems. The matters of multiculturalism, dialogue and alterity call for explanation. The purpose of this article is to take into consideration dilemmas connected with the phenomenon multiculturalism by reaching into the fields of arts that are concerned with these problems – especially social sciences, philosophy of dialogue, and also Krzysztof Czyzewski’s conception. At first, the article reaches into the beginnings of the European reflection on the variety of cultures: deals with the issues of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism, examines the European culture’s way to dispose of its own ethnocentric closure and takes into consideration difficulties related with accepting a purely relativistic model of perceiving other cultures. Afterwards this work presents various conceptions and definitions of the term multiculturalism, as learning to know them helps to understand this phenomenon better. After outlining this background, the article reaches to the philosophy of dialogue, to seek, in the concepts of Buber, Rosenzweig, Levinas, and Tischner, answers to the dilemmas related to the necessity of living in modern, diversified communities. Philosophers of dialogue teach how to properly understand dialogue and the meeting with the other. In the philosophical perspective, they outline new thinking, which demands to see the essence of humanity in relation I-You, I-Other. The article tries to show how they emphasize, in different ways, the need to respect the autonomy of the other, which can not be rejected during the meeting. They interpret any attempt to blur the difference of the other, as a camouflaged way to convert what is strange and foreign to something mine and accepted. This leads thereby to identification of the other with me and to violation of its otherness. The work ends with Czyzewski’s concept of the ethos of the borderland. It becomes like a buckle that closes all previous considerations, showing how to solve the dilemmas of identity and otherness in multicultural areas. Ethos of the borderland, a kind of code of life at the intersection of cultures, religions and nations, sets the path of mutual recognition of each other’s identity in order to build agreement. It is not afraid of differences, and instead of removing them, it affirms them, to erect above them a bridge of meeting. The ethos teaches to perceive the existence of different cultures as a chance of mutual enrichment of various others. Forgotten, but present through the ages in the lands of Central Europe, the ethos of the borderland, rediscovered by Czyzewski, seems to be the answer to many of the numerous questions that increasingly multicultural Europe asks itself.

The aim of this article is to briefly describe the new conceptions and issues of contemporary Turkish literature from the middle of the 1980s to the end of the century. A new social, political and cultural environment, which was created in this time in Turkey, was radically different to that of previous decades. The outcome has been a transition from nationalism to a more liberal understanding of the state and society by most Turkish intellectuals.

In the paper the authors put a question: Are the patriotism and the Love of Motherland (Fatherland, Homeland) well-founded before the cultural changes? The analysis research on interpretation idea of multiculturalism by students of Pedagogy brings two different answers. The first answer is connected with as ideas as patriotism and the Love of Motherland (in the other words is connected with the answer for a question about identity: I am what?) The second answers shows the students as spokesmen of change. The students perceives the reality as variable, changing, fluid structure which exerts influence on identity of man.

The multiculturalism of Upper Silesia has been influenced by the combination of three cultures: Polish, German, and Czech. It is also important to note the influence from the Jews and the Roma which enriched the region's culture. Contemporary multiculturalism of Silesia stems from the rule of the Silesian Piasts, when colonization led to increase of German settlements in urban and rural Silesia. The multiculturalism of this region gradually changed from the times of socialism to become what today is known as contemporary multiculturalism. Today multiculturalism continues to flourish through the institutionalized organizations of ethnic minorities that uphold their cultural traditions. The multiculturalism of Silesia has always remained an integral part of this region and the cultural identity of its inhabitants.

In spite of 'globalization' and the homogenizing trends which accompany it, the validity of ethnic identity, anchored in linguistic and cultural core values, has become a world phenomenon with minority languages encountering varying degrees of support or suppression. The paper examines the changing legislation and education policies toward minority languages in Australia. The country's emergence from an assimilationist past to embrace a more cultural approach in analysed with special reference to young Cambodian-Australians' educational achievements that show the vital importance of school support for minority language literacy and students' subsequent professional advancement. The paper concludes by re-affirming the need for a supportive community milieu to be supplemented by school literacy programs in minority languages. However, either of these two facts in its own way may be insufficient to ensure successful language maintenance and development.

Fine art is complicated phenomena which often holds different issues and resolves different problems. Fine art is also on the brink of “misunderstanding” and is often replaced in the perception by not so complex artistic – cultural objects. Therefore the main aim of the artwork should be to provide an environment or a possibility of intercultural, inter-media and interpersonal communication, and to offer a way how to express inner and cultural contents to different persons or cultures. There would be often a discussion about the importance of fine art, especially in present time, but also there would often be different ways how to understand each and one artwork, and which issue is crucial in the aesthetic perception of art. Present paper tries to analyse the main issue which could be understood as the origin of the misunderstanding of fine art: aesthetic interpretation. Even though, it looks like the act of interpretation is the one responsible for different meaning and countless readings of artworks, this paper would like to analyse the real impact of interpretation and its connection to the misreading of fine art, and everyday communication as well. The main aim is to demonstrate the relation between interpretation and quality of cultural phenomena, and to illustrate how an aesthetic interpretation could remove caused interpersonal and social misunderstandings.

The growing importance of international cooperation in connection with globalization processes has rendered the skilful management of multiculturalism a necessity. Cultural diversity is at present no longer perceived as a threat or a disorganizing factor (which was the only context of its reception in the past), but rather as a source of benefits necessary for the development of an organization, justifying its transformation from a monocultural entity into a multicultural one. People realize that diversity enhances the quality of human resources, and its growing role results from global demographic changes, together with new legislation and legal actions. These changes have led to the emergence of multicultural organizations. They can be defined as organizations which consist of employees coming from various cultural backgrounds, without a common past, with various and changeable visions of the future. Additionally, they are characterised by low predictability of the ways of fulfilling certain roles, an aesthetics that is diverse and incoherent or imposed from the outside, an unclear meaning of non-material rewards and punishments, and the prevalence of financial rewards and punishments. People coming from different cultures can have different moral intuitions, evaluate certain behaviours in a different way and be unwilling to change their native moral and behavioural norms. It should be noted that an increase in internationalization of particular organizations increases the level of cultural heterogeneity of the staff, which entails broadening the differences in their cultural determinants. This, in turn, creates the conditions for the emergence of both new opportunities and new threats for the organization. Finally, the most interesting aspect for the purposes of this paper is connected with the fact that ethical decisions taken by employees of such organizations may differ on cultural grounds. That is why various attempts directed at creating above-local ethics are being made; this kind of ethics is also called trans-cultural ethics, or even global ethics, and it is meant to serve as common ground and a space for solving problems between local ethics. The concept of global ethics can be seen as a solution to certain problems connected with intercultural management. The paper first discusses the threats and challenges that multicultural organizations face, and next describes the ways of creating ethics for them (global ethics) and problems connected with creating such ethics. The paper ends with arguments not so much against global ethics, but rather ones pointing out the serious difficulties in implementing this project.

As multiculturalism in the United Kingdom passes to a ‘post’ phase of existence, at least in academic and political discourse, it is important to consider the lingering impact of over fifty years of its presence in the form of Race Relations and integration measures. This article aims at a critical reassessment of the overarching strategies that have developed over the last half-century in relation to the integration of immigrants by putting the legacy of British multiculturalism into a firm historical and socio-political context; by marrying immigration and integration policies with normative models of integration in the hope of drawing a certain causality between them; and finally by highlighting the changes that have taken shape amidst the continuity of certain shared principles or frames of reference. The first part of the article looks at immigration and integration policies in Britain through a historical perspective; the second section delves into the concept of integration itself and its complex manifestations in British politics and policies; finally, a critical review of the development of these policies and their 21st century manifestations and outcomes are discussed in the third section. The analysis shows that the United Kingdom has, over the last decade, seen an ever-stronger intertwining of immigration and integration policies towards a robust civic integration approach, made evident in the introduction of citizenship and language testing schemes and strict pre-conditions on entry. Meanwhile, the turn in anti-discrimination legislation has been rather subtler. It has extended its reach to other areas of inequality, focusing on more pressing, or less contentious minority group support, such as women and LGBT rights, whilst retaining a measure of ethnic and national minority protection.

In the early 1990s, the Polish city of Przemysl became known for the tensions existing between Roman Catholic Poles and Greek Catholic Ukrainians. These tensions derived from the indivisible links between nationalism, religion, and politics in southeast Poland. This article analyses how they are tied up in political rituals. The first two rites analysed commemorate the sufferings during the war, and by politicising collective memory they strengthen the sense of mutual antagonism between religious-national groups. The author's key argument is that given the important role religious identification plays in the individual's relationship to the nation, religion is becoming a crucial factor in any form of political change. The author also presents an example of reconciliation and how it is applied to collective memory on the basis of a multinational tradition in a third political ritual. In this case two religious-national groups share a 'multicultural' heritage, derived from their understanding of sharing a common tradition, from the majority's acceptance of the minority, and from the religious experience of reconciliation. Political change in either direction, that is, whether amidst the mobilisation of differences or the promotion of tolerant co-existence, proceeds through rituals, symbolic gestures, and narratives, in which religion and religious experts occupy a dominant or at least secondary role, and this has an effect on how tolerant a society emerges in the region.

V. Hosle's most important philosophical contribution is in his systematic attempt at grasping the philosophical problems, especially ontological, axiological and ecological ones, as one whole. The author examines several of these problems, especially with regard to the universalistic conception of ethics and the relationship between nature and spirit as manifested in the particular spheres of Hosles's philosophical concern: his conception of the ecological crisis as a metaphysical one, the meaning of natural law, the question of collective indentities etc. In conclusion the author outlines his vision of an ethics for the 21st century including its political dimension.

The article describes two, very important from the social transformations' point of view, functions of law: adaptive and modernizing. Adaptive function of law consists in adapting the content of legal norms to extralegal rules (social, moral). On the other hand, a modernizing function of law displays itself in forming and modifying these standards by law. The occurrence of adaptive and modernizing functions of law is particularly important because of the fact that practically every new legislative regulation presupposes certain social consequences. Therefore, it is worthwhile to examine whether certain rules of law are actually capable of achieving the goals established for them. The process of adapting the law to social norms, and vice versa, is particularly visible in the so-called multiculturalism policy. This consists in recognition of the cultural diversity of societies, which manifests itself particularly in ensuring national and ethnic minorities' rights to develop and maintain their own separate cultural identity. It turns out that law can be successfully used to develop multi-cultural national consciousness. On the other hand, countries' legal systems, in which there are a number of national and ethnic minorities, do not remain indifferent to such specificity. As an example of best legislation in this area the author presents Canadian legal system, especially the protection of human rights.

The aim of the paper is to present the descriptive definitions of 'multiculturalism'. The authoress shows that multiculturalism is an elusive concept. The definitions have been divided into three groups with each of them emphasizing various aspects of multiculturalism: socio-cultural one, political one and the one that regards multiculturalism as a dynamic social process. The authoress also presents philosophical concepts that are fundamental to the understanding of multiculturalism, namely postmodernism and cultural relativism, analyzed in the paper solely in the context of multiculturalism. Postmodernists affirmed the ideas of multiculturalism and political pluralism (i.e. Richard Rorty, Charles Taylor), while cultural relativists stressed that national diversification of various cultures is conditioned by historical development, and under no circumstances should cultures be judged. The authoress presents the philosophical concepts as the philosophical-cultural context of multiculturalism.

Before we start to think about the universal and global bioethical norms, we have to ask, whether we really need them. In this paper, we bring three examples to demonstrate the need for a global regulation in the biomedicine. The first example shows how the Internet facilitates the human organs and embryos market to boom. The second example focuses on global aspects of a biopiracy and the third one on a female genital mutilation (FGM), which points to the conflict between the universalistic approach and the principles of the multiculturalism. In conclusion we shortly discuss the conceptual problems of the ongoing process of a global bioethics forming itself as an extension of the UN universal human rights.

The article in a multidimensional way presents the process of social, economic and cultural integration of immigrants settling permanently of temporarily in several countries of the European Union. It discusses the determinants of the influx of immigrants during World War II as well as the specific character of their integration in Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, Holland and France. It indicates the main assumptions of the integration concept in those countries and the practical ways of their implementation with respect to two main categories of immigrants: newcomers from outside Europe (especially from African and Asian countries) and labor migrants from the twelve new member states of the European Union who came to Western European countries after the enlargement of the EU in 2004 and 2007. The article presents the causes of failure, with respect to the immigrants with culture quite different from European, of the conception of multiculturalism that was for a long time considered the model solution to the problem of integration, and it stresses the dimension of economic integration as the dominant one among labor migrants from the Middle and Eastern Europe.

Multiculturalism is a kind of social policy that consists in the cultural neutrality of the state. In Western Europe it has shaped huge environments of immigrants derived from non-European cultures. Because of a great cultural distance between European societies and immigrants, assimilation of the latter turned out to be more difficult than had initially been expected. In response to such a situation, European states began to implement a multicultural social policy. In effect, a huge number of immigrant behaviors proved to stand in contradiction to human rights but consistent with multiculturalism. Nowadays we can observe a contestation (but not abandonment) of a multicultural policy and growth of anti immigrant attitudes. There is a tendency to gradually diminish multiculturalism and place more emphasis on human rights.

The main questions of the text are whether persons committed to different values can reach agreement, how they can achieve it, and what kind of ethics can be open to such an agreement if discrimination is to be avoided at the same time. Taking the discussion between R. Rorty and C. Geertz as the starting point, the authoress argues that we should abandon the concepts of ethnocentrism and relativism because they are ambiguous and that the crucial distinction runs between their different meanings. D. T. Meyers's ethics based on empathy and recognition is a solution to problems of diversity, both intra- and intercultural. It entails a radical change of ethical paradigm: an individualised approach to particular situations instead of general rules. But it can be applied only if the West gives up its claims to universality.

In response to a new approach to the problems of national minorities and ethnic groups, a model of multicultural society and intercultural education has been created. This education requires: openness to others and willingness to understand others, their culture, issues and problems. This model does not necessarily interest minorities, as it could be seen as leading to assimilation and loss of identity. The independent education and national life of minorities or ethnic groups give a better chance to get to know one's native language, culture, and preserve one's national identity, but due to restrictions, do not give equal educational and cultural opportunities, often creating ethnic 'ghettos', and hindering functioning in the mainstream society. The idea of multiculturalism has been put into practice in many countries through state support in preserving the cultural heritage of national minorities and ethnic groups, including Polish Diaspora organizations.
