Współczesny Meksyk to miejsce, gdzie różnorodność wpisana jest w zbiorowy charakter, a metysaż – zarówno w wąskim, jak i szerokim tego słowa znaczeniu – stanowi główny czynnik narodotwórczy. Trofea i rany złożonej meksykańskiej kultury od wieków inspirują filmowców zawodowo zajmujących się sondowaniem własnej duszy. Twórcy urodzeni w latach 70. i 80., tacy jak Carlos Reygadas, Amat Escalante, Fernando Eimbcke czy Michael Rowe, sięgają po minimalistyczną poetykę neomodernizmu. Chociaż nie tworzą jednolitej szkoły, podejmują podobne tematy, reinterpretując mity obrosłe wokół historii, religii, płci i stosunków społecznych. Niniejszy tekst może być punktem wyjścia do dalszych poszukiwań i otwarcia dyskusji nad fenomenem kolektywnej tożsamości – jakże dalekiej od monolitu. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie złożoności metyskiej duszy i dowiedzenie narodowego, czyli poświęconego wspólnocie, charakteru kina nowej fali.

Contemporary Mexico is a place where diversity is inscribed in the collective character of the nation, and miscegenation – both in its narrow and broad sense – is a major factor in the nation-building process. The trophies and wounds of the complex Mexican culture have inspired filmmakers to probe their own soul. Filmmakers born in the 1970s and 1980s such as Carlos Reygadas, Amat Escalante, Fernando Eimbcke or Michael Rowe reach for the minimalist poetic of neo-modernism. Although they do not form a homogeneous school, they take up similar topics, and reinterpret the myths that have overgrown history, religion, gender and social relations. The article might be considered to be a starting point for further research and open discussion on the phenomenon of collective non-monolithic identity. The purpose of this article is to show the complexity of the mestizo national soul and the demonstration of the national, that is community dedicated, character of the new wave cinema.

Contemporary world brings along a continuing interpenetration of cultures strengthened by the migration revolution. The social space created by multiplicity of ethnic groups is very often a result of migration processes which totally formed such states as Canada or Australia. The sources of the European multiculturalism were, on the one hand, the officially accepted workforce, on the other hand – immigration being the effect of the colonial past of such states as France, Great Britain or Germany

The article discusses the issues related to the multicultural society and its impact on personal safety. The aim of the study is to present the concept of personal security, multiculturalism and related issues. At the same time, this work is an attempt to answer the question whether life in a multicultural society evokes negative reactions and whether it affects the broadly understood personal safety. In his own research, the author attempted to prove that changes in the environment do not violate personal security, and on the contrary, existence in a multicultural society can positively shape human behaviour and influence their personal development.

Początek XXI w. to okres, w którym wykształceni za granicą reżyserzy wnieśli do islandzkiego kina nową jakość. Powstałe w tym czasie filmy reprezentują wartości i tematy odmienne od tych, które eksplorowała kinematografia lat 80. nastawiona na lokalną perspektywę. Nowe pokolenie filmowców przynosi wizję Islandii jako kraju otwierającego się na zewnętrzne wpływy i podlegającego procesom globalizacyjnym. Dominującymi tematami stają się m.in.: debata dotycząca wzrastającej roli kobiet w życiu politycznym i kulturalnym czy problemy z asymilacją emigrantów i tolerancją wobec mniejszości seksualnych. Ze zmianą tematyki wiążą się też zapożyczone z Ameryki i Europy odmienne sposoby mówienia o kulturowym otwieraniu się Islandii, takie jak krytyka nacjonalistycznej retoryki wcześniejszych tekstów kultury. Zmiana perspektyw światopoglądowych łączy się natomiast ze zmianą podejścia do produkcji i dystrybucji filmów. Twórcy nowego kina islandzkiego skupiają się bowiem na poszukiwaniu zagranicznych partnerów mogących pomóc im w finansowaniu ich oryginalnych opowieści; odnajdują się także w roli „obywateli świata”, którzy poszukują inspiracji i możliwości tworzenia filmów poza ojczyzną.

During the beginning of the 21st century film directors trained overseas brought in a new quality to the Icelandic cinema. The films made at that time represent the values and topics different from those explored in the 1980s cinema, which were primarily focused on the local perspective. A new generation of filmmakers presents the image of Iceland as a country that is opening up to outside influences and that is subjected to the processes of globalization. The main topics are, among others: the debate on the increasing role of women in the political and cultural life, problems with the assimilation of immigrants and the intolerance towards sexual minorities. With a change of subject matter come different ways (modeled on European and American ones) of talking about the cultural opening up of Iceland, such as criticism of the nationalist rhetoric of earlier cultural texts. Changing worldviews combine with a changed attitude to the production and distribution of films. The makers of new Icelandic film focus on search for foreign partners that can help them in financing their original work. They are also happy with the role of “world citizens” who are looking for inspiration and the ability to create films outside of their home country.

The article is supposed to be an opinion in the discussion over the state and prospects of modern research on multiculturalism. Taking into account the importance of this phenomenon in the contemporary reality and a variety of approaches both to the way it is defined as well as to its numerous examples, there was made an attempt to delineate multiculturalism as a complex social-cultural phenomenon in Central Eastern European context whose subjects are constituted by all ethnic groups living on this area. This complexity can be seen on four levels of multiculturalism. On the level of ‘empirical state of issues’ (demographic); social awareness; a political one and a marketing one. Theoretical bases characterizing the specified levels are being consistently connected with methodological proposals within which some guidelines allowing for the specifics of a particular level are presented. These are: a given research/analysis subject and the way of obtaining data — both of a qualitative and quantitative type. The need to carry out—on various levels—the research on multiculturalism in Central Eastern Europe is at the same time connected with a pursuit of the reflection of the specifics of multiculturalism in this part of Europe so that this peculiarity avoids being treated as a ‘copy’ of the Western European version.

Ausgehend von Goethes wichtigsten Äußerungen zum Begriff „Weltliteratur“ diskutiert der Aufsatz mögliche heutige Zugänge zu Goethe und seiner Zeit, insbesondere am Beispiel des Comics von Flix nach dem ersten Teil des „Faust“. Unterschieden werden am Konzept „Weltliteratur“ die Aspekte einer mediengeschichtlichen Beschleunigung (Zeitschriften), der Bearbeitung inner- und interkultureller Differenzen und der Vorstellung einer Auswahl des Besten. Nicht nur aus der Perspektive einer heutigen ‚Netzliteratur‘ fällt das Urteil skeptisch aus: Flixens „Comic“ kann nur bedingt der Toleranz zwischen den Religionen dienen, und Goethes nicht zufällig aphoristisch entwickelter Begriff der „Weltliteratur“ erscheint eher als eine an den frühen Liberalismus gebundene, schon damals konservative Utopie.

Taking Goethe’s concept of “Weltliteratur” (‘world literature’) as a starting point, this essay looks for today’s possible multi-cultural approaches to Goethe and his era, with special emphasis on the comic strip version of the first part of his Faust written by Flix. Taking a closer look at “Weltlitera-tur”, the aspects of an acceleration in media development (the emergence of periodicals), of the reflection on internal and external differences between cultures and the notion of a selection of the most excellent works are discussed. The result is somewhat sceptical, which does not only draw on today’s “web literature”: A comic strip demonstrates only a limited capacity of multi-cultural translation, and the concept of “Weltliteratur” — which Goethe did not accidentally develop in aphoristical fragments — appears as a conservative utopia closely tied to the early liberalist period.

The article presents the author’s considerations relating to the current and common problem of multiculturalism. Nowadays “multiculturalism” can be defined as co-existence – in the determined physical, social and political sphere as well as in a concrete historical period of time – of many ethnic groups representing different axiological and normative systems. The social created by multiplicity of ethnic groups is very often a result of migration processes which totally formed such states as Canada or Australia. The sources of the European multiculturalism were, on the one hand, the officially accepted workforce as Federal Republic of Germany, on the other one – immigration being the effect of the colonial past of such states as France, Holland or Britain. All these countries took up more or less advanced actions towards being able to deal with the deepening ethnic diversification. There appeared political project – multiculturalism.

The article characterizes seven sources of the criticism of the policy of multiculturalism in the context of the recently voiced opinions of the western European political leaders. The described sources of criticism are: the financial crisis and the need to reduce the social spending, the pessimistic visions of the future of the European culture, the globalization, the increasing number of the immigrants and their descendants, understanding the multiculturalism as an unification rather than co-existence of different cultures, the decreasing impact of the historical and political events that were an inspiration to the politics of multiculturalism and finally the still high unemployment rate among the immigrants and their descendants.

The article addresses the multifaceted issues of cultural diversity in contemporary Spain. Multiculturalism is perceived from the perspective of ethnic minorities and immigrant students in, mainly, compulsory schooling. Legal framework for the school system is followed by the description of inequalities in education. The aspect of segregation or even marginalization of immigrant alumni and their significantly lower achievement (after PISA reports), when compared to native peers, is strongly emphasized. A section dedicated to linguistic pluralism in the Autonomous Communities of Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia, gives the way to the country's legal background, as regards cultural diversity. There are also considered the aspects of support through compensatory programmes in the classroom in the light of the policy of normalization.

The Author indicates the need for pursuing a new educational policy in the emerging multicultural societies in order to acquire skills that enable exceeding the limits of own ethnocentrism and sociocentism. He emphasis that the education system has not been equipped with the tools for shaping: civic attitudes, development of the human community and responsibility for it. The Author signifies and justifies that the current education policy is moving towards ideologies of the nation, which should be opposed. In the context of the above, the Author highlights the need for revitalization of heterology in contemporary educational policy as a principle of social life and attitudes characterised by sensitivity and intercultural competences.

This scientific article objective is to investigate the cultural identity and legal philosophy of multiculturalism. The subject area extends into different disciplines such as politics, philosophy, law and international relations. The question of who has the right to determine who belongs to a particular ethnic community and who does not is a pervasive one. In the following we focus on the social and political dimensions of multicultural life. The analysis requires an examination of the appropriate legal framework. From the scientific methods we have used the analytical and descriptive method to analyse the current situation.

The article allows to get to know the precise guidelines regarding the ethics in two changing areas in the work of school psychologists: in scientific research and in school practice. These areas undergo cyclic changes, not only due to the development of humanities and numerous reforms of educational system, but also because of an increasing multiculturalism of Polish society. It can be stated, that the changes in schooling system reflect the most current social problems, therefore they deserve a special distinction from other areas of psychological practice. In the following article we describe the newest guidelines of the European Commission regarding the ethics of psychological research, we also open a discussion about chosen ethical dilemmas, which can be encountered by a school psychologist in an era of increasing multiculturalism.

Along the lines of the so-called multicultural discourse and socio-political milieu in Australia, the article is concerned with Adam Fiala’s literary and non-literary imageries of Australia and also deals with the relation of Fiala’s poetic and prose themes to various realities of Australia. Given that Australia as a host country determines/i nfluences writers’ life and work, the article seeks to discover possible spaces in which the Polish writer-migrant/his work and his characters/narrators/voices are positioned (and/or positioning themselves) to function and/or to domesticate Australia. Both the Polish writer-migrant’s life in Australia and his literary scenarios are explained with some thought of migrancy and migrant/border narrative’ notions.

The psychological gap based on distrust and mutual ignorance between the Islamic world and the rest of the world, including Japan, has never been wider than it is today. Some might think that Islamic and other civilizations share little common ground in terms of basic values concerning humanity. Some even claim that “the clash of civiliza-tions” is inevitable. However, it is too early to conclude that these civilizations will always be in conflict with each other. Although their theological interpretations of God and the teachings of their religions show clear contrasts, there might be some common values that they can share in social life. One of the most prestigious and well-known Islamic boarding schools or Pesantren in Indonesia, Al-Mukumin of Solo in Central Java, offers fundamentalist education. Yet, the students in this school still learn about the importance of co-existence with non-Muslims through social activities and classro-om instructions. Multiculturalism and the appreciation of non-Muslims are clearly em-phasised in the curriculum. Based on the field research conducted in January 2013, I will attempt to picture the state of Islamic education in Indonesia and identify some values common to Islamic and other civilizations, such as Western and Japanese.

The Katowice conurbation took shape from the end of the 18th century in the borderlands of two states, Poland and Germany. In this sense, it was an area on both their peripheries. Permanent and dynamic interactions between different national-ethnic groups resulted in cultural intermingling. From the middle of the twentieth century, this complex settlement system was already at the centre of socio-economic development on a supra-regional scale. As a result of multidirectional migration, influenced by intensive industrialisation, social relations evolved between the migrants and the local (indigenous) population, as well as between the migrants themselves. The aim of this paper is to analyse the early multicultural nature of selected cities in the Katowice conurbation against a methodological and terminological background and to indicate the extent to which this feature might be an asset in present day socio-economic transformations in this area. The temporal and spatial overlapping of various origins of socio-cultural links and relations leads the authors to formulate the concepts of cultural genotype and primary and secondary cultural genotype, and to exemplify the formation of cultural genotypes in the Katowice conurbation.

The author of the article focuses on Polish writers that intentionally create their works simultaneously in Polish and in languages other than Polish, situating their creativity directly in European and world literature. She also discusses the case of bicultural authors whose creativity emanates from Polish culture but for whom Polish was only one of the languages they based their literature on. While listing such examples, the author considers the possibility of interpreting such works and placing them in the discourse of world literature.

The history of Australia and the cultural origins of its population are closely linked to the story of the migration of peoples from other continents. This paper includes an examination of opportunity and psychological costs of Polish migration to Melbourne (Australia) during the 1980s. Included are positive and negative experiences during the settlement process, as well as the outcomes and consequences of migration. Generally migrants have had a difficult time building a life for themselves in Australia due to a variety of reasons which will be discussed in this paper. The article also outlines Polish migrants opinions of multiculturalism in Australia.

Multiculturalism defined as a multitude of cultures can be typified as a major trend in international relations, what is a chellenge for every participant of global affairs. The phenomen of multiculturalism is absolutely nothing new, but under conditions of progresive globalisation mechanism its importance has been appreciated.In practise multinational forces have to operate in culturally heterogeneous environment in an array of tasks to combat threats of mostly a non-military transnational nature. All the time there are a highly complex relations within coalition personnel, in cuturally diverse society living in the theatre of operation and between all them mutually.
