The main contention of this paper is that the eventual decline of ideology would pave the way to personalism and piece-meal policy-making. In this respect, sociology should analyze the process of social evolution while the ideological goals tend to concentrate on the middle-range and distant future.

The origins of the scientific reflection of modernization as a social phenomenon date back to the 19th century, the time of the formation of evolutionary theory, which was reflected in the works of O. Cont, E. Durkheim, G. Spencer, K. Marx, etc. On the right remark of modern foreign scientists, the modernization theory – is «the phase that has in sociology and theory of the evolution been completed». Modernization, which at one time was interpreted as the emergence of a «new civilization model», forms the vector of transition from survival values to the values of selfrealization, to the further human development, which underlies a powerful emancipation potential. Modernization in the broadest sense is considered as a process of modernizing and improvement of all spheres of social relations; in the narrow one – as a complex set of transformations, which the social system experiences on the way of the evolution from the traditional agrarian society to the urbanized industrial one. The variety of historical experience in the modernization of societies that were (are) at various stages of civilization development, or have significant differences in culture and traditions, question the possibility of a global generalization, the definition of a stable set of institutions, structures, rules or procedures within a unified theory, the deduction of the common patterns that would serve as a benchmark for all countries and peoples. . The proof of this – are the unsuccessful attempts to develop a universal theory of modernization, based on the conceptual foundations of evolutionism by scientists in the second half of the 20th century. The development of the modernization theory started after the Second World War and disseminated in the 1950s–1960s. It should be emphasized that there was no single theory of modernization, even in the 1950s–1960s. As the researchers point out, it was rather a powerful intellectual movement. In its evolution, the modernization theory has conditionally passed three stages: 50–60, 60–70s and 80–90s of the 20th century. The liberalization of political practice and the modernization theory led to a reassessment of the idea of universal progress in historical evolution; to rethink the model of the development of civilizations, the concepts of «modernity» and «traditionalism». All this together contributed to expanding the boundaries of research and taking into account the influence of not only the center on the periphery, but also the periphery on the center. The main thing that one managed to overcome was stereotypical ideas about the civilization mission of the West in relation to other parts of the world, as well as to realize that the future of mankind is the harmonious combination and coexistence of different cultures that are being developed in accordance with its inherent trajectories of social development, rather than in a predetermined direction. Modern science is increasingly focused on the study of unique, critical, bifurcation and other nonlinear processes, where exclusive, to some extent, random events begin to play a special role that becomes relevant to macroevolution, changing the course of human evolution. The suddenness of the social changes taking place in a globalized world does not allow us to confidently determine the perspective models of countries and nations future development. Globalization, like any large-scale process, changes the usual way of life, and, along with many benefits, has painful consequences for some social groups. Globalization, according to modern scientists, «can’t be regarded as an ordinary linear scheme, at least because it in its existence holds both development and destruction at the same time». In addition, there are new challenges that require fundamentally new approaches to their solution.

Political division, which re-emerged after Slovenian independence and parliamentary democracy in 1991, has strongly influenced Slovenian social life. The article focuses on official and parallel celebrations of statehood day as a political tool in political arena. The author analyses those manipulative and discursive techniques used by opposition leader Janez Janša that were the most evident in the critique of the official celebrations of statehood and the construction of parallel ones. Presented taxonomy of his interventions is based on extensive ethnographic work and offers a summarised review of some basic ideological disputes during the Slovenian post-socialist transition.

W artykule próbuje się wskazać, że podstawą ludzkich społeczeństw jest podzielanie wspólnej wiedzy (w technicznym sensie teorii common knowledge), która jest warunkiem koordynacji działań w ciągłym procesie tworzenia i odtwarzania ładu społecznego. W społecznościach tradycyjnych, a także współcześnie w różnego rodzaju społecznościach lokalnych, uwspólnianie wiedzy dokonuje się w ramach bezpośrednich, gęstych interakcji. We współczesnych, masowych społeczeństwach coraz większą rolę odgrywają media i symboliczni pośrednicy, przejmujący inicjatywę syntetyzowania i propagowania wiedzy. Na tym de pojawia się zjawisko zbiorowej niewiedzy, czyli rozdźwięku między wiedzą lokalną (opartą na realnych doświadczeniach) a wiedzą wspólną (kształtowaną przez ośrodki centralne). To z kolei stanowi zagrożenie dla więzi społecznej: coraz więcej jednostek ma bowiem przeświadczenie, że nie należy do "tego społeczeństwa".

The key thesis put forward in the paper is that it is common knowledge (in the technical meaning proposed by Robert Aumann) that forms the basis of the specifically human society and coordinates individual actions into social units (figurations), in the constant process of producing and reproducing society. Creating and maintaining common knowledge means different things in various social settings. In traditional societies and various local communities, building 'knowledge about other peoples' knowledge' can be based on dense interactions and face-to-face communication. In contemporary mass societies 'knowledge about other peoples' knowledge' is increasingly amassed by mass media and the symbolic middle men, who take over the initiative to synthesize and propagate content. Thus, a discrepancy appears between the local, experience-based knowledge, and the common knowledge shaped by centres (media, institutions etc.). This discrepancy, known as 'pluralistic ignorance', tends to weaken and dilute social ties, as more and more individuals do not recognize their experience, convictions and attitudes in the generalized 'social opinions'.

W artykule przedstawiono koncepcję marynizacji Ludwika Janiszewskiego, rozwijającą się na gruncie socjologii w latach 70., 80. i 90. ubiegłego wieku. Koncepcja ta, mówiąca o wpływie morza na życie społeczności nadmorskich oraz na kształtowanie się specyficznej struktury społecznej i kultury morskiej, rozwijała się w trzech naukowo podstawowych wymiarach. W wymiarze teoretycznym szczególnie istotne było dla niej wyróżnienie dwóch podstawowych czynników wpływających na proces marynizacji oraz określenie kierunków zależności między poszczególnymi składowymi tego procesu. W wymiarze empirycznym starania badaczy ukierunkowane były na pomiar wpływu środowiska morskiego na różne aspekty życia społecznego. W wymiarze metodologicznym szczególnie istotne okazało się skonstruowanie listy wskaźników, które w adekwatny sposób odzwierciedlałyby to złożone zjawisko. W artykule omówione są wskazane wymiary koncepcji marynizacji. W tekście postawione jest także pytanie o zasadność założenia o wzrastającym wpływie morza na życie społeczne. Aspektowe ograniczenie tego znaczenia (np. znaczne ograniczenie połowów dalekomorskich czy połowów bałtyckich) nasuwa bowiem pytanie o aktualność omawianej koncepcji.

The paper presents the concept of marinization introduced by Ludwik Janiszewski. This concept was developed in sociology in the 70s, 80s and 90s of the last century. The concept depicts the influence of the sea on the life of coastal communities, on the development of specific social structure and marine culture. The concept of marinization was specified in three basic scientific dimensions. In the theoretical dimension, particularly important one, for this concept, it was to distinguish two main factors influencing the process and determine the direction of the relationship between the individual components of this process. In terms of empirical issue researchers’ efforts were focused on measuring the impact of the marine environment in various aspects of social life. In the methodological dimension the problem of constructing a list of indicators that adequately reflect this complex phenomenon proved to be particularly important. The article discusses the aforementioned dimensions of the concept of marinization. The text also includes a question about the validity of assumptions about the growing influence of the sea on social life. The apparent reduction of this impact (eg. a significant reduction in deep-sea fishing or Baltic fishing) suggests the question of the timeliness of this concept.
