The problem of origins of violence in prehistory still raises many controversies among scholars representing nearly all branches of social sciences. The large number of existing interpretations only complicates the current state of research. This paper’s aim is to present and briefly discuss two main theoretical approaches to the problem, along with an attempt to evaluate them using archaeological record representing the earliest material evidence for small-scale organized warfare.

Soon after Charles Darwin proposed his theory of the origin of species (1859), Catholic theologians set out to harmonize the evolutionary account with the traditional Christian doctrine of creation. While there have been several attempts at achieving this, all of them encountered philosophical or theological problems. After Humani Generis (1950), the debate among Catholic scholars shifted to questions related to polygenism and the propagation of original sin. In this paper, we show that these new theories adopted philosophically or theologically problematic concepts of hominization. We also argue that there is ample paleontological evidence from anatomy and tool-making to support the claim that the so-called fossil hominids should be categorized as either apes or human beings (Homo sapiens). This postulate invites a new look at human origins, one that remains compatible with modern science as well as traditional theology and metaphysics.

The paper’s main aim is to outline the problem of polarisation of contemporary discussion concerning the concept of origins of warfare. Basically, two leading trends can be distinguished: the first one accentuates the biological basis of human violence and places its origins deep into our evolutionary past. The second one recognises conflict as a relatively late and typically cultural phenomenon in human prehistory, which cannot be interpreted in terms of natural selection and evolution. The existence of a sharp ideological border between ‘hawks’ and ‘doves’ enables a comparison of both perspectives and facilitates the analysis of internal dynamics of their development.

The Crime of Count Neville is primarily a story of a complex father–daughter relationship, culminating in the attempted murder of the count’s daughter by her own father. Infanticide is inevitable for Sérieuse, which parallels the mythological story of Iphigenia. But Nothomb also develops on an extra-diegetic level, as the meta-narrative of the genesis of the Freudian Family Romance or the Novel itself. Between the concepts of “bastard” and “foundling,” this novel contains many autobiographical elements and borrows from other literary works, most noticeably from Oscar Wilde’s collection Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime.

Stemming from the general postcolonial theoretical tradition, the concept of self-colonisation proposed by the Bulgarian scholar Alexander Kiosev has proved inspiring to Polish scholars. This article attempts to examine more closely Kiosev’s meandering self-reflective musings on what he called his “metaphor” of self-colonization, an idea he ultimately rejected in view of the undesirable ressentiment it tends to produce. By illustrating the historical and cultural background underpinning the concept of self-colonisation I seek to identify the roots of potential intercultural misunderstanding. Above all, I focus on the consequences of the teleological approach inherent in Kiosev’s concept. Those are expressed in identifying manufactured (sic!) origins with an account which can be couched in the language of a politically and therapeutically conditioned method of research. This leads to a symmorphic deformation of those origins, aligned to the requirements of the modern world.

Artykuł przedstawia genezę powstania dekretu misyjnego Ad gentes. Historia dekretu stanowi jeden z najbardziej pasjonujących epizodów Soboru Watykańskiego II. W ciągu czterech lat komisje misyjne wypracowały sześć różnych dokumentów. Negatywna ocena szóstego schematu (9 listopada 1964 roku) otwarła drogę do ostatecznej wersji Ad gentes. Jego perypetie wkomponowane były w proces powstawania innych dokumentów soborowych. Powstanie dekretu Ad gentes było możliwe dzięki zwycięstwu soborowej opcji reformatorskiej. Jej głównymi przedstawicielami byli biskupi misyjni i przełożeni zgromadzeń misyjnych - wśród nich główny architekt dokumentu, generał Zgromadzenia Słowa Bożego o. Johannes Schutte, przyjaciel kardynała Kolonii Josefa Fringsa. Dzięki poparciu biskupów misyjnych stał się on promotorem dokumentu misyjnego. O. Schutte pozyskał do pracy w podkomisji redakcyjnej w Nemi najlepszych ekspertów, jak Y. Congar czy J. Ratzinger.

One of the most fascinating episodes of the Second Vatican Council is the history of the decree Ad gentes. Various mission commissions were working on it for four years. They came up with six different versions, the last of which was rejected on 9 November 1964. Fashioning the decree was made possible by the victory of the reformist wing within the Council, represented mainly by the bishops from the missionary territories and the superiors of the missionary orders. Among them was the chief architect of the decree, Fr Johannes Schutte, superior general of the Divine Word Missionaries (SVD), friend of cardinal Josef Frings of Cologne. Thanks to the support of the missionary bishops, he became the promoter of the missionary document. Fr Schutte enlisted to the editorial subcommittee on the decree, working in Nemi, the best experts, like Y. Congar and J. Ratzinger.

In the era of dynamic economic and, especially, industrial development of various European countries in the nineteenth century, and a broad-scale process of pauperization, the ideas of philanthropy were generally revived, which highlit the need to undertake organized care initiatives. It was at the time of the industrial revolution that various charity institutions were established. The first kindergartens called orphanages occupied a special place among them. No wonder that in one of the most important mining centers of the then Austrian monarchy such centers emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century. The main subject of the following study is the history of the creation and the first two years of the Wieliczka orphanages – the urban one and the one serving the salt mine – under the Austrian partition. The appearance of this type of care and education institutions in Wieliczka is probably not, for those times, unusual and unique. However, the case of Wieliczka deserves mentioning. The singularity of the internal situation of Wieliczka is based on the fact that the inhabitants of the city could use the same offers two ways – on the part of the city or the salt mine. This work closely describes the history of creation, legal and financial base of both institutions and the cooperation and coexistence of both institutions until Poland regained its independence.

The history and interpretation of musical communication. Music plays one of the central roles in the history of interpersonal communication. From ancient times, various musical forms, simple at first and later more complex, have accompanied man. Musical communication and content differ from other forms of expression in that they are significantly more abstract in transmitting their content and use. This is true not only of the human voice but other natural sounds and musical instruments. The purpose of this paper is to present an emanational analysis of musical sources as proposed by Pope Benedict XVI as well as with selected information relating to sources, musical genres and the history of this form of communication.

O historii komunikowania muzyką i jej inspiracjach. Jedną z centralnych ról w historii komunikacji międzyludzkiej pełni muzyka. Z początku proste, a potem coraz bardziej wyszukane formy muzyczne towarzyszą człowiekowi już od starożytności. Muzyczna komunikacja i ekspresja odróżnia się od innych form wyrazu znacznie większą abstrakcyjnością przekazywanych treści oraz wykorzystaniem oprócz głosu ludzkiego, również innych dźwięków naturalnych oraz instrumentów muzycznych. Celem opracowania jest przestawienie emanacyjnej analizy źródeł muzycznych autorstwa papieża Benedykta XVI w zestawieniu z wybranymi informacjami o źródłach, gatunkach muzyki i historii tej formy komunikacji.

Artykuł ma na celu zarysowanie rozwoju białoruskiego języka literackiego od jego genezy przed okresem Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego, poprzez jego odrodzenie w XIX w., rozkwit w latach 1905–1916 oraz latach 20. XX w., a także bezpośrednio po upadku Związku Radzieckiego. Większość tej pracy dotyczy różnych prób rosyjskich przywódców (a z czasem Łukaszenki) poniżenia i asymilacji języka oraz pracy poetów, którzy stanowczo przeciwstawiają się temu procesowi. Stwierdzono, że białoruscy pisarze używając języka, pomagają utrzymać przy życiu ten element świadomości narodowej, łącznie z tymi poetami, którzy poprzez słowotwórstwo i eksperymenty starają się przyspieszyć dalszy rozwój języka białoruskiego.

Мэта гэтага артыкула – акрэсліць шляхі развіцця беларускай літаратурнай мовы ад яе пачаткаў да перыяду Вялікага Княства Літоўскага, у эпоху адраджэння ў ХІХ ст., падчас яе росквіту ў перыяд з 1905 па 1916 г. і ў 1920-я гг., а таксама адразу пасля распаду СССР. Большая частка гэтай працы прысвячаецца розным спробам расейскіх лідэраў (а таксама і А. Лукашэнкі) прынізіць і асіміляваць мову, а таксама працы паэтаў, якія рашуча супраціўляюцца гэтаму працэсу. У артыкуле сцвярджаецца, што праз выкарыстанне мовы ўсе яны дапамагаюць падтрымліваць гэты элемент нацыянальнай свядомасці, у тым ліку і тыя, хто словатворчасцю і эксперыментамі імкнецца паспрыяць далейшаму развіццю мовы.

This article aims to outline the development of the Belarusian literary language from its beginnings before the period of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, through its rebirth in the 19th century, and its flourishing in the period from 1905 to 1916, and in the 1920s, as well as immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Most of this work concerns the various attempts of Russian leaders (and in time Lukašenka) to demean and assimilate the language, and the poets who vigorously resist this process. It asserts that by using the language they all help to keep this element of national consciousness alive, including those who with word-creation and experiment seek to advance the language’s further progress.
