The issue of migration is now becoming part of a wider debate on cultural diversity. This article explores selected aspects of this debate in the context of school education. A relatively new subdiscipline, the anthropology of education, is indicated as a useful perspective in this matter. Anthropological research on migration and cultural differences in general can be regarded here as a scientific reconstruction of the processes that lead to the construction of otherness. The cultural figure of a migrant in particular serves as an example of these processes in the context of European education. Western concepts of otherness thus build large part of the current political and social debates on migration and the presence of migrants in the educational milieu. The article examines these concepts in relation to the main contemporary migration trends visible in the West.

Multiculturalism is a term spreading in the West during the 1960s to indicate respect, tolerance and defence of cultural minorities. The idea of multiculturalism has become a collective imaginary (“all different, all equals”). It has generated a political ideology supporting an inclusive citizenship towards “different” cultures. After being adopted as official policy in many Countries, multiculturalism has generated more negative than positive effects (fragmenting the society, separating the minorities and fostering cultural relativism). As a political doctrine, it seems harder and harder to be put into practice. At its place, today we talk of interculturality. But this expression too seems quite vague and uncertain. This essay discusses on the possible alternatives to multiculturalism, asking itself whether the way of interculturality can be a solution or not. The Author’s thesis is that the theory of interculturality has the advantage to stress the inter, namely what lies in between different cultures. But it does not possess yet the conceptual and effective means to understand and handle the problems of the public sphere, when the different cultures express cultural values radically conflictual between them. The troubles of interculturality result from two lacks: an insufficient reflexivity inside the single cultures, and the lack of a relational interface between the different cultures (between the carrier subjects). Modern western Reason created a societal structure (lib-lab) promoting neither the first nor the second one. In fact, it neutralizes them, because it faces the dilemmas of values inside the cultural diversities through criteria of ethical indifference. Such criteria set reflexivity to zero, preventing individuals to understand the deepest reasons of the vital experience of the others. Reason is emptied of its meaning and of its understanding capability. To go over the failures of multiculturalism and the fragilities of interculturality, a lay approach to the coexistence of cultures is required, being able to give strength back to Reason, through new semantics of the inter-human diversity. The Author suggests the development of the “relational reason,” beyond the forms already known of rationality. To make Reason relational might be the best way to imagine a new social order of society, being able to humanize the globalizing processes and the growing migrations. The after-modern society would be more or less human, depending on how it will be able to widen the human Reason, structuring it inside a new “relational unit” with the religious faith.

For few hundred years Lublin developed as a multiethnic city, where Jews – among other minorities – played an important role, participating in process of creating the city's political and economic institutions and public life. Jews had inhabited a separated district, Podzamcze, since the 16th century and, after 1862, the Old Town and other districts as well. While Jews eventually could be found throughout Lublin by the interwar period, the former boundaries between the "Jewish" and "Christian" parts of the city remained strongly imprinted in social and cultural memory. They were an important element in local heritage and affected the everyday life of the city inhabitants. This article analyses the imaginative boundaries that delineated the "Jewish" district of Lublin in the pre-World War II period. Drawing on oral testimonies of residents who have personal recollections from the 1920s and 1930s, it documents the processes by which individuals invoke urban border markers to situate communities spatially, and in so doing invest those markers with cultural difference. Describing the Jewish district as "different" and thus culturally separated is an important element of an of Lublin's historical discourse, and is central to understanding the complex issues connected with the former ethnic and religious diversity of Lublin. The article also contributes to theoretical issues involving borders, borderlands and multicultural spaces or places.

This paper focuses on the issue of the gendered character of colonial domination and the role of the intersection of gender and race hierarchies in the structuring of colonial power. The author claims that these hierarchies not only intersected but also participated in constituting each other. The paper shows the multiple implications of this constitutive intertwining ranging from the impossibility of creating unitary subjects of anti-colonial, anti-racist or anti-patriarchal struggle to the cynical instrumentalisation of women’s rights by colonial and neocolonial discourses carried out for the sake of asserting the race difference (on which those discourses invariably depend). Discussing the gendered character of colonial and neocolonial encounters, the author points out that both colonial domination and anti-colonial resistance is often articulated in a gender idiom of asserting or regaining one’s masculinity. The issue of the instrumentalisation of women’s rights is illustrated by the example of contemporary anti-Islamic discourse, especially the headscarf controversy, that uses the status of women to assert the racialised inferiority of Muslims. The author points out that one of the contemporary consequences of the intertwining of race and gender hierarchies is that we are confronted with the false alternative of choosing between fighting against racism or fighting against gender subordination. The author concludes that it is only by transgressing this false alternative that we can start to dismantle both gender and race hierarchies.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczące definicyjnego ujęcia Innego/Obcego, źródeł wiedzy oraz osobistych doświadczeń badanych, odnoszących się do osób od nich odmiennych. W pierwszej części artykułu zostały przytoczone definicje Innego/Obcego w ujęciu różnych autorów oraz ukazano różnicę tych dwóch kategorii pojęciowych. W dalszej części opracowania przedstawione zostały negatywne reakcje społeczeństwa na inność/obcość ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem postaw rasistowskich i ksenofobicznych. Zaprezentowane zostały wyniki dotychczasowych badań ukazujących skalę pejoratywnych zachowań wobec Innych/Obcych w społeczeństwie polskim. W trzeciej części opracowania przedstawiono wyniki autorskich badań dotyczące relacji studentów Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego i Państwowej Wyższej Szkoły Techniczno-Ekonomicznej w Jarosławiu z Innymi/Obcymi, będących częścią ich najbliższego otoczenia, w tym studenckiego. Analiza wyników badań stanowi próbę udzielenia odpowiedzi na pytanie: „Kim jest Inny/Obcy w percepcji studentów?” oraz „Jakie są relacje badanych z Innymi/Obcymi?”.

The article presents the results of the research on the definitional view of the Other/Other, the sources of knowledge and personal experiences of the respondents relating to people different from them. In the first part of the article, the definitions of Otherness/Alien according to different authors are cited and the difference of these two conceptual categories is shown. In the next part of the paper, the negative reactions of society to otherness/ foreignness are presented, with particular emphasis on racist and xenophobic attitudes. Research showing the scale of pejorative behavior toward Otherness/ foreignness in Polish society is presented. The third part of the study presents the results of the author’s research on the relations of students of the University of Rzeszow and the State Higher School of Technology and Economics in Jaroslaw with Others/Aliens, who are part of their immediate environment, including students. The analysis of the research results is an attempt to answer the question “Who is the Other/Other in the perception of students?”.

In the present day, culture is a term which due to its complex nature, raises many theoretical and methodological questions. It is being perceived as something described more in plural terms rather than as a whole and a universal pattern, despite the impact made on the debate by the globalisation discourse. Therefore, it is presently an object of study in many academic disciplines. However, the discipline, which shows the most significant interest in the scientific investigation of culture, is anthropology. This paper examines the key issues in the understanding of culture within anthropology and its relation to pedagogy. The latter issue is being raised in order to highlight a relatively new anthropological subdiscipline, i.e. anthropology of education as a research perspective which could deliver certain answers to the problem of cultural diversity, multiculturalism, and multicultural education.

W artykule podjęto kwestie wpływu zróżnicowania kulturowego na pojawianie się i przebieg konfliktów społecznych w organizacjach. Różnice kulturowe między pracownikami mogą być źródłem nieporozumień i konfliktów, gdyż w istotny sposób wpływają na sposoby interpretowania i definiowania sytuacji. Różnice kulturowe mogą utrudniać procesy mobilizacji społecznej, zmniejszając prawdopodobieństwo wybuchu otwartego konfliktu nawet w warunkach silnego poczucia deprywacji. Starano się rozpoznać ukształtowane w organizacjach praktyki niedopuszczania do powstawania konfliktów społecznych z powodu różnic etnicznych, narodowościowych i religijnych. Istotną rolę odgrywa w tym kontekście ukształtowana kultura organizacyjna, a także kod „politycznej poprawności”. Wskazano różne typy organizacji wielokulturowych i analizowano wpływ struktury organizacyjnej na pojawianie się i przebieg konfliktów. Jak wykazano, szczególnie istotne dla wybuchu konfliktów społecznych w organizacjach wielokulturowych jest nakładanie się różnic kulturowych na nierówności związane z zajmowanymi pozycjami w strukturze zarządzania firmą.

The article analyses the impact of cultural differentiation on the causes and dynamics of social conflicts in organisations. Cultural differentiations are an important factor in social interpretation processes and when constructing a definition of a situation, and are therefore a source of disagreement and social conflict among employees. On the other hand, cultural differences can make social mobilisation difficult and decrease the probability of open conflicts occurring even in the face of strong deprivation. It is important to recognise ways in which organisations protect themselves against inner conflict due to ethnic, national and religious differences. An organisation’s culture and code of “political correctness” seem to be important factors in this context. The article shows different types of multicultural organisations and analyses the impact organisational structure has on the causes and course of conflicts. The simultaneous occurrence of cultural differentiation and deprivation in the sphere of authority are main circumstances that generate social conflict in multicultural organisations.

W dziewiętnastowiecznej literaturze seksualność może być przedstawiona tylko w sposób pośredni – poprzez aluzje i metafory. W „Zdobyczy” Emila Zoli rośliny w szklarni wyrażają i symbolizują pragnienia postaci. Siła pierwotnego obrazu została jednak całkowicie zatracona w polskim przekładzie, powstałym w 1950 roku. Będąc wytworem komunistycznych realiów, tekst ten nie bierze pod uwagę kulturowego aspektu procesu tłumaczenia. Próba wiernego oddania warstwy leksykalnej i syntaktycznej odbywa się w nim kosztem charakterytycznej dla Zoli „malarskości” opisu, co powoduje, że najpiękniejsze fragmenty dzieła pisarza pozostają w zasadzie nieznane polskim czytelnikom.

EN

In the literature of the 19th century, sexuality may be painted only in an indirect way, through allusions or metaphors. In Émile Zola’s "La Curée", plants in a greenhouse express and symbolize the character’s desire. However, the force of the original image is completely lost in the Polish translation, made in the 1950s. Being a product of the Communist period, this text doesn’t take into consideration the cultural aspect of the process of translation. An attempt to imitate the lexical and syntactic structure is made at the cost of pictorial description, characteristic of Zola’s prose. Therefore, the most beautiful fragments of French novel remain nearly unknown to polish readers.

This article explores three routes into the Far East, starting with the explorative and adventurous escapades of Maurice Benyovszky, moving on to the exploring of Siberia and the Chinese border, both common in the nineteenth century, and ending with mass maritime tourism that developed after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. Texts by Polish travelers including Benyovszky, Jerzy Tymkowski, Józef Kowalewski, Agaton Giller, Bronisław Rejchman and Julian Fałat have been selected from a great wealth of source materials to represent categories of material routes into Asia that informed specific conceptual frameworks and shaped the writers’ methods for representing different cultures. These methods were also impacted by the contemporary intellectual experiences of the authors.

Artykuł przedstawia trzy typy drogi na Daleki Wschód od pionierskiej i awanturniczo-przygodowej eskapady Maurycego Beniowskiego, przez najczęstszy w XIX wieku wariant eksploracji Syberii i pogranicza chińskiego, po rozwijającą się dzięki otwarciu Kanału Sueskiego (1869) masową turystykę morską. Teksty polskich podróżników, Beniowskiego, Jerzego Tymkowskiego, Józefa Kowalewskiego, Agatona Gillera, Bronisława Rejchmana i Juliana Fałata zostały wyselekcjonowane ze znacznie obfitszego materiału źródłowego podług kategorii wariantu materialnej drogi do Azji, która warunkowała pewne ramy konceptualne konstruujące sposób reprezentacji odmiennych kultur, aktualizowany przez współczesne autorom doświadczenia intelektualne.

The project of international scientific conference, inspired by the thought of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, encourages to look from the position of different disciplines and research methodologies at broadly understood minority problematics. The following specific issues have been proposed as a subject of reflection: minority identity; dependency, anti-dependency and post-dependency aspects of the relationship between the minority and the majority; borderland phenomenon; center–periphery relations; spatial mobility vs minorities; cultural difference; meeting people of different cultures; multiculturalism vs interculturalism and transculturalism; minority discourse on minorities. At the same time, the issue of minority is placed on the grounds of “long duration”, regarded as an important part of the intellectual heritage of the Enlightenment, applied or rejected in the modern concept of a man (the ideas of freedom, equality, human rights, tolerance) and in the ways the description of the World is constructed (categories essentialism, normativity, universalism).
