Professional identity combines some elements of personal and social identity in the area of goals, values, principles and measures. The paper focuses on the reflection of ambiguity of creating teachers’ professional identity during educational reform. The new system of teachers’ professional advancement has been in place in Poland for more than ten years. We have conducted complex empirical research aimed at comprehensive evaluation of that system (teachers, heads of schools and local authorities were surveyed). The theoretical framework is constructed on the concepts of the contemporary narrative theories of Ch. Taylor, A. Giddens, P. Ricoeur. There is a yawning gap between the path of improvement of quality imposed by the formal requirements of the system and the needs and educational aims formulated by teachers themselves, stemming from their everyday practice. The research provided important implication for educational policy, such as: a necessity for combining statutory requirements with particular school needs and teachers’ individual development.

The aim of the article is to examine the relationship between the literary layer and the documentary paratext in Hélène Gaudy’s novel Un monde sans rivage (2019), which describes the catastrophic expedition to the North Pole of three Swedish travelers in 1897. Authentic documents present the flow of events, the growing struggle between the waning power of travelers and nature, the entropy of resilience and motivation, which is visible in the laconic and incompleteness of the quoted materials (interrupted or illegible sentences), destroyed in the middle of the photo. The manner of presenting these documents reveals the writer’s method of work, which does not hide their progressive degradation, but on the contrary, treats them as a trigger for the imagination, because her story seems to draw narrative momentum and strength from this lack and incompleteness. Gaudy’s way of working with a documentary allows us to understand why the author needs this formal heterogeneity, why she has not decided on a documentary account or fictional novel. The skillful intertwining of these two formats generates a synergistic dynamic of forces that makes literature better embody life, and the documentary comes to life in contact with the literary imaginary.

The paper deals with the state of the social sciences after the boom of internet services in the Czech Republic in the 1990s. The results of our survey, based on 512 responses from the economics and history departments of major Czech public universities, show that internet services are considered a quality factor for academic output; however, the issues of plagiarism, a lack of resource criticism, inadequacy of impact factor-based evaluations, poor academic training for the new generation of social scientists, the failure of state academic policy, and the generation gap make further development in the Czech social sciences rather problematic. As a result we recommend creating a better communication link between policy makers and scholars, reforming the current state policy which encourages lower quality academic output, and improving academic training, which requires a more individual approach, and also placing higher demands on social scientists.

In the modern world the information appears to have the most important role since without it is hard to imagine the proper functioning of the society, economy and the state. It is especially visible on the example of the economy where the information becomes not only the most valuable commodity (that affects the competitive advantage) but is also separated as the independent category of the means of production and influenced the change of the paradigm of the economy and the process of management. Of course it is not about any random information but rather an asset that allows a single individual and the society alike to function properly. Such asset is a certain minimum of information necessary for its proper development that we call as the ‘informational minimum’. Unfortunately such minimum is not always (and not anywhere) provided therefore a disturbing phenomenon of informational crisis can be observed. It manifests itself in the shape of both decrease of quality and the amount of information, as well as in the crisis of the informational infrastructure and the institutional crises. The means of preventing this is the ‘informational order’ based on one hand on the order of hierarchy of function and on the other, (which is crucial) on the non-transferable human rights: a right to the truth and a right to the information. The provision of such order is one of the basic duties of the state and the institutions regulation social life, the economy and politics.

W dzisiejszym świecie informacja wydaje się posiadać najistotniejszą rolę, ponieważ bez niej trudno jest sobie wyobrazić należyte funkcjonowanie społeczeństwa, gospodarki czy państwa. Szczególnie widać to na przykładzie gospodarki, gdzie informacja staje się nie tylko najdroższym towarem i oddziałuje na przewagę konkurencyjną, ale poprzez wyodrębnienie jej jako osobnej kategorii czynników produkcji wpłynęła także na zmianę samego paradygmatu ekonomii i procesu gospodarowania. Oczywiście nie chodzi tutaj o jakąkolwiek informację, ale o taki jej zasób, który pozwoli każdemu człowiekowi, a także każdemu społeczeństwu prawidłowo funkcjonować. Taki zasób stanowi pewne minimum informacji, konieczne do jego należytego rozwoju, które określamy jako minimum informacyjne. Niestety, nie zawsze i nie wszędzie takie minimum jest zapewnione, dlatego obserwuje się nierzadko niepokojące zjawisko kryzysu informacji. Będzie się to przejawiać zarówno w postaci obniżenia jakości i ilości informacji, jak i kryzysu infrastruktury informacyjnej czy też kryzysów instytucjonalnych. Sposobem zapobieżenia temu zjawisku jest ład informacyjny, opierający się z jednej strony na porządku hierarchii funkcji informacji, a z drugiej – co najważniejsze – na niezbywalnych prawach człowieka: prawie do prawdy i prawie do informacji. Zapewnienie takiego ładu należy zresztą do podstawowych obowiązków państwa oraz instytucji organizujących życie społeczne, gospodarcze i polityczne.
