Violence, according to the authoress of the paper, is one of the 'categories' that organize the contemporary thinking. Reflecting on violence, she refers to classical works on the subject to sketch a rich semantic field of this category. She pays more attention to Edward Dembowski's investigations who distinguished different kinds of violence, including mental violence. However, she does not share his faith that with education this kind of violence must disappear. By referring to reflections of H. Arendt, Marx and Heidegger, the authoress claims that elements of violence are hidden in every action that we undertake, and both in negative and positive dimension. Violence can be integral to creativity. It shows its negative side when it degenerates into terror. The inspiration to shed light on connections of violence and terror comes from Bronislaw Baczko's book 'Jak wyjsc z Terroru' (literally: How to End the Terror, English translation: Ending of Terror. The French Revolution after Robespierre), and the problem is the question in the title of the book. It is not easy to end the terror, and psychology and psychiatry also have difficulties in treating the tendencies towards terror of individuals who seem apparently normal. The case of violence is similar - it is, as the authoress claims after Heidegger - somehow written into our existence. Not every kind of violence results in terror. The fact that we cannot (or do not want to) fight against it is evidence of human susceptibility to evil and our moral weakness.

Manipulation as a specific form of power is characterized by a close connection with freedom. This makes it a very complicated and at the same time unusually interesting concept (especially in the current context). In the first part, the author aims to clarify the correlation of manipulation with its related categories such as coercion, compulsion, violence, etc., pointing out the complexities of relations between them, when they differ in principle or resemble each other or even overlap. Even more complicated are the relationships between manipulation and freedom. On the one hand, manipulation seemingly a priori denies freedom, and on the other hand it presupposes its presence, which is succinctly expressed by the term "voluntary slavery."

The core of the presented study is built around the structure and effects of the phenomena of power and violence, as portrayed and contemplated by Sarah Kane in her play Blasted (1995). The author of the presented study anchored his theoretical point of departure in examining power and violence, the latter being a tool for the enforcement of the former, in an analysis by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, who believe that power is the overriding principle of man’s relationship with his/ her outer reality. The first part of the study contemplates the structure of the phenomena of power and violence, as seen through the relationship between Ian and Cate, the play’s lead characters. Subsequently, the author focuses on their manifestation against the backdrop of a war catastrophe, which Sarah Kane allows to “barge in” the storyline. The conclusive part of the study attempts to highlight the appallingly devastating effects of power and violence, reaching their apex at a time of war.

A great, though not exclusive subject of Sartre's 'Books on Morals', published posthumously, is violence including the crucial question how to resist the situations, in which violence is involved. The first objective of the article is to unveil the everyday forms of violence. This leads the author to approach Sartre as a theoretician of violence, to show him in a role which in the reception of Sartre in Slovak cultural and ideological contexts was fully marginalized. The author focuses on different, although interconnected levels of Sartre's understanding of violence. On one side it is the theoretical level concerning the very fundaments of violence. Here Sartre systematically starts with etymology of the word and goes further to unveil the essence and objectives of violence, its fundamental principle, as well as its moral principles, by which the violence tries to justify itself. On the other hand, it is the practical level. Here the world of violence is no more isolated as an abstract entity. Sartre is oriented on identification and examination of this phenomenon in everyday situations, in specific human relationships, such as asking a favor, request, threat, and refusal. His interpretation wants to show the logic of violence which, so Sartre, is present in everyday relationships, trying to destruct the freedom of the other.

Intention of the violence is put in the nature of social realistic art of the 1940s–1950s that had an effect on forming the creative works of P. Zagrebelny, Val. Shevchuk, O. Honchar. The change of an aesthetic code in the 1980s and necessity to compete with younger generation (also the latent mechanisms of creative defeat) have forced representatives of the given generation to deduce desire like basic component of novelistic structure. In case of Zagrebelny it has led to treason to the canon and negation of own creativity, in the case of Shevchuk — to deformation of the aesthetic object. Significant erotomania which we can see in the works of the “generation of the sixties” is not only a tribute to the process of commercialization but also a chronic illness of the generation.

The study focuses on the process of ethnographic field research among homeless people from the perspective of researcher. It presents methodological approaches vis-á-vis initial ideas about the field research before going out to the field. The study covers the problematic aspects of the course of the research, from entry in the field up to the generation of data in relation to the changing positionality of the researcher. It shows how the relationship between the contact persons and the researcher changes in a given situation on the basis of the different characteristic features of the public and the private space and the forms of power that affect this space. Emphasis is placed on gender issues in the field and on how this fact influences the field research, contacts and the researcher. It describes the various forms and contexts of violence, from symbolic up to sexual ones. The study asks questions about how violence can be minimised during field research, and offers proposals for solutions.

The authoress' aim is to describe and interpret the connection between media literacy and critical pedagogy which appear in the works of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu and Henry Giroux. Much attention is paid to issues, such as symbolic and iconic violence, critical analysis, empowerment, cultural reproduction, the main interests of media literacy, and the problem of using popular culture and media study in the pedagogical process. She considers the special status of media images and the problem of the degree to which they correspond with reality, the process of decoding cultural texts and the role of audiovisual competence. The authoress presents the most important views concerning the pragmatics of media images and their influences on social life, and the difference between critical and non-critical pedagogy in the context of cultural reproduction, and symbolic violence in the communication process.

The paper deals with screen fictional violence (TV and cinema). The analysis focuses on the genres of gangster, war, horror and action films. The interesting point in the paper is the evolution of means of violence visualization, until the postmodernist version without context or interpretation. The psychology of reception and the paradox of receptive pleasures drawn from watching brutal scenes are analyzed in the paper. The author underlines the variety of explanations and sources of this kind of pleasures. However, one must admit that there is more than one universal theory in this field.

(Polish title: Przemoc w rodzinie - charakterystyka zjawiska na terenie wojewodztwa lubelskiego na podstawie analizy danych udostepnionych przez policje). The issue of domestic violence has been widely described - its specific character, variety of aspects involved, its epidemiology and the influence of violence on psychological functions of the family. Then the results of analyses of police reports with data referring to the range of violence in Lublin region were presented. The results have been critically discussed and have led to the following conclusions: the number of police interventions in Lublin region is increasing every year, which means that on one hand the rate of violence is unfortunately getting bigger , and on the other hand the awareness of victims and their trust in the police institution hopefully increase; the highest in numbers are women victims, children are next; victims that come from villages less frequently turn to the police for help in the case of violence; violence is more intense in families with alcoholic problems.

The article discusses the practice of bride kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan. The article was written on the basis of ethnographic studies conducted in Kyrgyzstan in summer 2005. The author describes this controversial practice and analyses some of its aspects - violence, temporal dimension and collectivity. This practice, common in modern Kyrgyzstan, although many women have a very negative opinion about it, is an accepted form of marriage. Bride kidnapping is a much diversified phenomenon, having many meanings and representing different motivations of the actors. It also assumes many forms - from forceful kidnapping of the girl who has been seen for the first time to an arranged meeting with the fiancée, who is taken to the groom's family home, in which case it can be a way of circumventing the disapproval of the parents. The article describes marriage by capture as a dramatic and multidimensional event, which radically changes the life of the kidnapped victims.

The aim of the present text is to offer an interpretation of Eyal Weizman’s concept of forensic aesthetics, demonstrating how this approach reveals the ways in which the aesthetic perception of violence, trauma, and decomposition of human dwelling can be transformed in the current digital optical war regime. Forensic aesthetics tries to grasp a forensic sensibility as both an aesthetic and political practice, requiring individuals to become sensitive to violence and be able to comprehend and experience the effects of disintegration, trauma, and despair that are characteristic of the experience of the survivor. The environment, dwelling, and architecture are not only inert observers, but rather have become material witnesses of crimes, violence, and destruction of various dwellings inhabited by various species. The application of digital technologies in forensic aesthetics carries a strong ethical appeal to avoid injustice. Traces and fragments of evidence, as well as multiple videos and images, are synchronized and recomposed within digital architectural environments and dwellings, as an optical and interpretative tool that shapes a new type of aesthetics.

The key quality of contemporary Croatian literary production is the simultaneous existence of several individual poetics. We could choose to follow the formation of certain groups or identify common denominators (women’s writing, war writing, body writing, new realism). In this essay I’ll concentrate on female authors of the last two decades who are dealing with body topics in their works. In this essay I would prefer to interpret the novels published by Irena Vrkljan, Slavenka Drakulić, Daša Drndić and Dubravka Ugrešić, bearing in mind the thematic focus of their novels: a body confronted to illness, sexual and war violence, the pasing of time.

Violence against women as an extreme form of discrimination is one the most serious form of violation of the human rights of women. The CEDAW Committee may consider individual communications alleging violations of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women by States parties to the Optional Protocol. The paper focuses on three selected examples of individual complaints. One of them is the first merit decision of the Committee on the basis of the Optional Protocol. The second is the case in which a State party has for the first time recognized the binding nature of the decisions and recommendations of the Committee. The last one is the first Committee decision concerning Slovakia.

The everyday life of the burghers in the sixteenth century was full of violence. Murder and robbery were common, many knights belonged to the robber knights (Raubritter). The study gives many examples of robbers executed at Besztercebánya, Kassa, Eperjes. Sexual violence and rape were common, too. Contemporary judges thought that a woman could become pregnant only if she enjoyed the violent act, therefore if a women became pregnant after the rape, it could not be called a real rape. The family of the raped women often forced the victims to marry the rapper. Even very young girls, still children, were raped and the rappers got away with relatively mild punishments. Ritual group raping committed by young boys was recorded at Kassa in 1579. Many women committed infanticide, they wanted to conceal their pregnancy and thus the illegitimate relationship. A special case is represented by the execution of the town executioner of Eperjes, he was beheaded by his 'colleague' from Locse because he tried to kill a local soldier while he was drunk.

The aim of the article is an attempt of an insight into the culture of a French school and factors that shape it. In this background, a narrower issue of an oppressive effect of school norms that concern pupils’ appearance is discussed. The case of French Muslim girls is an interesting departure point for the critical analysis of oppressive actions of Polish teachers. The article presents the background of social tensions caused by ‘the Islamic shawl’ and the question of changing the media image of French Muslims. The crucial conclusion of the presented analyses are different social competences (resistance against power), which are formed in subjects that undergo oppressive school norms in Poland and France.

In this study, the author aims his attention to relatively intricate but frequently described era of the First World War and communist revolution in Russia. In regard to unclear character of available terms, the text provides reflection on hidden nature of the Russian communism and its more or less immediate causes. The author points to the connection between First World War as a modern war and Russian communism, its essence and characteristic features. The question of relation between Russian communism and modern war is examined through the prism of ideas of two famous Russian philosophers of “The Silver Age” who were immediate witnesses of war as well as of revolution: Fedor Stepun and Evgenij Trubeckoj.
