Since 1951, the Silesian Land Museum in Opava has been publishing its own journal. Ethnographic studies have been part of the journal’s focus from the very beginning. The studies cover museum collections in the territory of Silesia and also field documentation and research carried out in Silesia by distinguished Czechoslovak ethnographers (Drahomíra Stránská, Zdena Vachová, Josef Vařeka, etc.). A bibliography of these contributions from the years 1951-2001 was made up by Eva Ševčíková. All in all, 125 articles and studies were included. They cover ethnography but also related disciplines which touch folk culture or widen our knowledge of its historical forms. These articles were supplemented by 73 selected reviews devoted mostly to regional literature.

The multiplicity of opinions, discussions and disputes conducted around and within geography didactics encourages it being viewed as theoretically uncertain and focused on fulfilment of educational practices. In this text I intend to embed these controversies in the framework of disciplines underlying it: geography (in the classical and “modern” understanding), pedagogy (in the traditional and progressive perspectives) and psychology (with the orientations applied in education: practical and interpretative), with a view to showing that perceiving geography didactics essentially through the prism of teaching methods of a school subject means confining it within boundaries of stereotypes and departs from the current and potential directions of development. Whilst exposure of its interdisciplinarity leads to discursive construction of geography didactics being opened, taking into account also ongoing cultural, social and economic changes. Taking them into consideration renders didactics adequate to contemporary reality and thus capable of (a) interesting pupils in geography, (b) responding to their intellectual needs and possibilities.

Wielość opinii, dyskusji i sporów toczonych wokół oraz w obrębie dydaktyki geografii, sprzyja ujmowaniu jej jako teoretycznie niepewnej oraz ukierunkowanej głównie na realizowanie praktyk edukacyjnych. W opracowaniu te kontrowersje zamierzam osadzić w ramach leżących u jej podstaw dyscyplin naukowych: geografii (w rozumieniu: klasycznym i „nowoczesnym”), pedagogiki (w ujęciach: tradycyjnym i postępowym) oraz psychologii (ze stosowanymi w edukacji orientacjami: praktyczną i interpretatywną), by wykazać, że postrzeganie dydaktyki geografii przez pryzmat głównie metodyki nauczania przedmiotu szkolnego, jest zamykaniem jej w granicach stereotypów i odbiega od jej aktualnych oraz potencjalnych kierunków rozwoju. Natomiast wyeksponowanie jej interdyscyplinarności prowadzi do otwarcia na dyskursywną konstrukcję dydaktyki geografii, uwzględniającą także zachodzące obecnie przemiany kulturowe, społeczne i gospodarcze. Ich uwzględnienie czyni dydaktykę adekwatną do współczesnych realiów i tym samym zdolną: (a) zainteresować uczniów geografią, (b) odpowiedzieć na ich intelektualne potrzeby oraz możliwości.

The beginnings of modern material culture studies in anthropology are also the beginnings of modern anthropology – both should be associated with the work of Malinowski, Boas and Mauss, as well as with the holistic and multi-functional approach to culture. These theories found their continuation in the concepts of Evans-Pritchard, and in the “culture and personality” school, but with the changing scope of cultural anthropology the subject lost its importance in the postwar period. Meanwhile, it was taken up by some neighbouring disciplines, especially history, sociology and psychology (Prown, Baudrillard, Bourdieu, Csikszentmihalyi), which contributed to the appearance of a strong interdisciplinary approach in material culture studies. Last decade of the twentieth and early twenty-first century brought about a revival of the subject in cultural anthropology (Sahlins, Douglas, McCracken, Appadurai, Kopytoff, Gell). It is associated with the recognition of the growing importance of the consumer culture – a phenomenon of everyday life in the Western world, as well as the increase of cultural subjectivity and reflexivity. The growing interest in material culture is maintained by posthumanity movement (Ingold, Latour), exposing the hybrid, symbiotic nature of the relationship between human beings and things. The latest history of material culture studies and contemporary trends make it likely that the research will be developed on a macro- (global economic processes), meso- (group identification, local) and microcultural level (identity, lifestyles).

The aim of the paper is to criticize Stanley Fish's views on interdisciplinarity (particularly as far as his account of interdisciplinarity in literary studies is concerned). The first part of the article consists of: (a) a summary of his critique of the so-called religion of interdisciplinarity; (b) a description of Fish's theory of disciplinarity that underlies this critique. In the second part of the article, I provide a criticism of Fish's theory. I begin by presenting some counterexamples to it. Then I attempt to demonstrate that Fish's views are self-refuting. Finally, I argue that besides these theoretical reasons, there is also a practical reason why Fish's position needs to be questioned.

For the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), established in 2012, under the auspices of four United Nations entities (FAO, UNDP, UNEP and UNESCO), there is an urgent need to engage scholars in social sciences and humanities in assessing the state of the planet’s biodiversity. This article addresses the fundaments for involving scientists from these fields of science in IPBES, and reflects on the existing barriers. It builds on previous research on IPBES from various perspectives, as well as on the author’s insights from work in the organization. A fundamental condition recognized is that there needs to be a qualified understanding of what it means to integrate natural sciences and social sciences/humanities, and also that the latter have to be accepted on their own terms. Other barriers are related to the contextualisation of biodiversity issues and the more politically sensitive character of research carried out in social sciences and humanities. In the conclusions it is emphasized that the deliverables of the first round of IPBES assessments have to be solid enough from the perspectives of social sciences and humanities, in order to attract more of these scholars to work for the platform in the future.

Problemy związane z postawami ekologicznymi naszego społeczeństwa nie są nowe. Problematyką tą dotychczas zajmowały się niezależne ośrodki naukowo-badawcze w kraju, jak również niektórzy niezależni naukowcy. Jest to problematyka trudna, niechętnie podejmowana przez badaczy ze względu na swój bardzo interdyscyplinarny charakter. Ta interdyscyplinarność z jednej strony jest jej siłą poznawczą, z drugiej zaś silnie ją hamująca. Spowodowane jest to daleko idącą ogólnością sformułowań, odmiennym naukowym warsztatem badań, stosowaną terminologią oraz celami dla jakich powstają te badania. Autor w swoim artykule stara się ponownie podejść do epistemologii postaw proekologicznych, jak i samej ich metodologii badań.

On inadequacies in transferring concepts from one to another (linguistic sub)discipline

The paper discusses several methodological problems in the necessary (mostly metaphorical) transfer of concepts from one discipline (or subdiscipline) into another one, especially when interdisciplinary research demands mutual understanding in terms of translation and correspondence of concepts. After differentiating between multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, the first is rejected and it is pleaded that the second and third should be combined. Several adequate and inadequate transfers of concepts into linguistics are dealt with, especially in the areas of morphology and language acquisition. Successful transfer is characterised by the formal transfer of new terms and their easy adaptation to already existing linguistic conceptions, especially between subdisciplines. Most often, further important differentiations of a concept cannot be transferred from the original discipline but must be added as enrichments within linguistics itself. This may lead to a split-up of concepts in different subdisciplines of linguistics. The concepts discussed are regression, self-organization, complexity, transparency vs. opacity, figure and ground, top-down processing, default, input, grammaticalisation.

In this study we concentrate on the reasons for the focus on the therapeutical potential of philosophy in the current period. Among the key causes of the renewed and growing interest in the therapeutical perception of philosophy we give special weight to opportunities stemming from the development of interdisciplinarity and the ever-closer relations of philosophy with certain therapeutical approaches, as well as the confrontation of philosophy with socio-economic and utilitarian pressures in society and the problematising of the task and justification of philosophy in the context of other scientific enterprises. In the study we attempt to indicate some therapeutical aspects of philosophy and philosophising (such as the satisfying function of knowledge, the satisfying aspect of caring about and sharing problems with others, together with the need for the practical application of the findings and the practical aspect of wisdom), which predispose philosophy to the development of its therapeutical potential of philosophy as therapy by thought.

Welcome Frustrations with the Climate: Comment on Redclift

Redclift (2011) provided a timely and perhaps deliberately provocative overview of sociological writings on climate change and the disciplinary problems of a post carbon world for environmental sociology. This comment emphasizes that he never actually clarifies what exactly are those problems that sociology faces in its attempt to open up a space for itself in the field of climate research. This omission also leads to unnecessary claims regarding the state of social science research on climate change as well as unspecified calls for more interdisciplinarity in sociological analysis of contemporary societies’ carbon dependence.

Analiza idei interdyscyplinarności wskazuje na jej blaski i cienie, przynajmniej, gdy ujmujemy ją z pozycji dyscyplinarnej tożsamości i wymogów z tym związanych o obrębie określonej dziedziny nauki. Interdyscyplinarność jako nastawienie badawcze rodzi bowiem nadzieję bardziej kompleksowego i adekwatnego ujęcia badanych rzeczy, stanów rzeczy, procesów lub zjawisk, ale wyłania również dylematy i zagrożenia „rozpłynięcia się” swoistości nastawień badawczych właściwych określonej dziedzinie nauki. Wiedza pedagogiczna z natury oparta jest jednak na wiedzy zaczerpniętej z innych podstawowych dziedzin nauki takich, jak biologia, psychologia, socjologia czy filozofia. Pomijając trudności i dylematy wynikające z interdyscyplinarnych nastawień badawczych, przyjąć należy, że w obrębie dyskursu pedagogicznego nie tylko jest ona nieunikniona, ale i konieczna z punktu widzenia jakości, adekwatności i trafności, zarówno konstruowanej teorii, jak i projektowanej praktyki.

EN

Analysis of the idea of interdisciplinarity demonstrates both its flaws and qualities, at least when we approach it from the point of view of disciplinary identity and the related requirements within a specific discipline of science. Interdisciplinarity as a research approach raises hope for a more comprehensive and adequate understanding of the research subjects, states of objects, affairs, processes or phenomena; yet it also contributes to the emergence of new dilemmas and a risk of “dissolution” of characteristics of research specific to a given scientific discipline. Pedagogical discourse by its very nature, however, is based on knowledge derived from other basic sciences, such as biology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy. Notwithstanding the difficulties and dilemmas arising from interdisciplinary research approach, it should be assumed that within pedagogical discourse its adoption is not only inevitable, but also necessary for the quality, accuracy and validity of both the constructed theories and planned practical applications.

Our paper outlines an updated picture of the translations from Serbian into Romanian, and also points out the most common concepts belonging to the most notorious translators and the specific particularities of their translation manners. The goal of our research is to identify reference points in the evolution of translations, i.e. from theories to methods and procedures of translation. Thus, we intend to evaluate the contribution of some translators as well as to mention some general aspects that characterize their methodology. Among the aspects that we are going to research are the level of adequacy and representativeness of their translations, and the way in which they apply the functional principle of preserving the information from the original.

Psychology is one of the victorious sciences and professions of 20th Century. Still, form its onset on doubts are accompanying its possibility, its assumed intellectual sterility, and practical sterility. These doubts reemerge today. However, one is able to ironically refute them not in the name of the oppressed and endangered, but in the light of clearer professional identity. In the second half of the 19th Century, the naissant psychology was challenged on the one hand by Comte claiming that its supposed contents could be divided between sociology and neurobiology, while on the other hand by Dilthey, Frege, and Husserl who considered it to be intellectually plain and lacking phantasy. These challenges were dealt with in mid-twentieth century by the three aspect theory of Karl Bühler (experience, behavior, and objectivations) and by the role of cultural mediation in the theory of Lev Vygotsky, and later on by Jean Piaget with his cross disciplinary position of psychology. Amongst these interpretive debates, the show went on undisturbed. During the early stages of the last century the best theoreticians took part in forming the practical profession of modern psychology. Binet, Ebbinghaus, Stern, S. Freud, Lewin, Lurija, Bowlby, while being outstanding theoretical researchers, played a crucial role in the formation of the basic frames of the profession as well, in a similar way as Ferenczi, Szondi, Harkai or Mérei in Hungary. The threats and challenges towards psychology never stopped while professional psychology was being formed. Just think of the dubious victories of Pavlovianism in the East-European countries, or the insatiable hunger of pedagogy this ethernel dedicated formator of humanity. All of this is merely the past to be remembered by historians of psychology. On the present day intellectual landscape, psychology is again challenged and questioned form two directions. In science, the new interdisciplinary field seem to digest psychology. Cognitive science, neuro-philosophy, and neuroscience all tend to question the independent future of psychology. Once we would know everything, there will not be anything but neural patterns of excitations, though in fact the real gurus of neuroscience like Gazzaniga and Ramachandran question the victorious nature of the reductionism of their own field. Experimental psychologists should not panic when witnessing the questioning of their existence partly initiated by them. The neural interpretation of man can indeed provide a causal model of behavior, but only the psychological interpretation of behavior can account for what do we have a causal model of, e.g. in the fMRI magnet, is the person reading, flirting, or fighting. And this is further complicated by the subjective experiences of the subject accompanying these behaviors. The other threat of today comes from the half-prepared representatives of rival professions, from trainers, coaches, and gurus of all sorts. Present day psychology should clearly see that it is not involved in a freedom fight any more, but it protects a clear professional image. With regard to intellectual reductionisms, it protects the idea that psychological science is supported in its identity by an existing profession, while there are no professions of cognitive scientist, or neuroscientist. Against the half-trained professional rivals it should claim that in the profession of psychology, in line with the ancestors mentioned, theoretical foundations have their place. Psychologists are not technicians or paramedics of behavior, but its engineers and doctors.

Although there seems to be broad agreement within the discipline about the desirability of a public anthropology, there is less certainty, or agreement, not only about how to achieve it in a responsible way but also about its very raison- d’être. What should an anthropology which engages closely with non-academic publics seek to achieve? Starting with a historical overview, the article argues that the lack of a clear societal task or assignment liberates anthropology from problem solving for the state, enabling it to stimulate the collective imagination by making bold comparisons and unexpected conjectures. The empirical examples from Norway show how public anthropologists can successfully mix the ‘light’ and the ‘heavy’ in getting their argument across and raising anthropological issues while also engaging with a broad, non-academic public.

This article introduces the special issue for Ethics in Progress entitled Environment, ethics, and sustainability: Crossroads of our future. Despite four decades of intense development in the field of academic and professional environmental ethics, environmental problems pose ever increasing ethical challenges. The discipline continues to undergo a transition from focusing on theoretical questions such as what kinds of beings deserve moral standing toward greater inclusion of the multifaceted dimensions of sustainability and environmental issues and policy formation. In this introductory paper, we present the development, some of the key disciplinary debates, and the continuing and emerging challenges in environmentalism as it intersects with sustainability. We emphasize the importance of increasing the range of interdisciplinary perspectives brought to bear on practical ethics. The papers included in this special issue reflect both the challenges that arise as environmental ethics continues to expand and explore new issues at the intersection of ethics, sustainability, and environmental research, and the interdisciplinarity required in our search to better understand matters related to environmental history, environmental inequalities, social and environmental value conflict, inter-generational justice, and ethical components of the human relationship with the world.

The paper draws attention to several aspects of the XIXth World Economic History Congress (WEHC) that took part in Paris in August 2022. First, it analyzes the plenary session by Bruce Campbell about environmental history. Followingly, three parallel sessions are analyzed that were focused on the research of living standards. Based on this analysis, the paper deduces some vital points that could be more addressed by Czech economic historiography to complement (however, absolutely not to replace!) the current research. First, there should be more interdisciplinary research, including cooperation with natural and exact sciences. Second, much more quantitative research is needed in Czech historiography, e.g. by using database analyses or econometry.
