This article sets out to present possible application of bibliotherapy in the social therapeutic process. Bibliotherapy and social therapy share such elements as: education, correction of behavioural disorders, personality enhancement, and the prevention of social maladjustment. While analysing the goals of the aforementioned methods, a thesis has been proposed that they may be common for both. Bibliotherapy may serve as reinforcement of the social therapeutic process by enriching it and making it more enjoyable. Its goal is to build up the participants’ personal resources, supporting them in difficult situations, and providing a therapeutic impact. The article points out the key role that a literary text plays in the bibliotherapeutic process, and constitutes a starting point for bibliotherapeutic interactions. The article emphasises the potential of literature as a tool for the therapeutic and educational process, social rehabilitation and health improvement. Thus, social therapy may approach bibliotherapy as a way to enrich its educational and therapeutic offer.

Technologie usprawniające działanie człowieka rodzą poważne pytania etyczne dotyczące praktyk zdrowotnych, które nie służą już tylko leczeniu chorób, ale proponują również „optymalizację” fizycznych, poznawczych i psychologicznych zdolności ludzi. W tym artykule dokonujemy koncepcyjnego wyjaśnienia pojęć biowładzy i biopolityki oraz argumentujemy za ich użytecznością we współczesnej analizie. Trzy dekady neoliberalnej polityki poważnie ograniczyły państwo opiekuńcze: prywatyzacje i cięcia w budżetach publicznych zmusiły agencje publiczne do ograniczenia swojej działalności, czasami tracąc uniwersalność, skuteczność i jakość usług. Pandemia dramatycznie pokazała cenę takiego neoliberalnego zwrotu. Globalizacja rynku stwarza zagrożenia dla zdrowia i nie jest w stanie reagować na sytuacje kryzysowe. Prywatna opieka zdrowotna okazuje się w dużej mierze nieistotna w walce z pandemią. Państwo opiekuńcze nie powinno być traktowane jako „koszt” dla prywatnego systemu gospodarczego. Byłoby błędem sądzić, że po ustąpieniu pandemii gospodarka mogłaby wrócić do „normalności”. Musimy ponownie przemyśleć produkcję i konsumpcję w świetle potrzeb zdrowotnych i środowiskowych.

Human enhancement technologies raise serious ethical questions about health practices no longer content simply to treat disease, but which now also propose to “optimize” human beings’ physical, cognitive and psychological abilities. In this article we undertake some conceptual clarification of the concepts of biopower and biopolitics and argue for their utility in contemporary analysis. Three decades of neoliberal policies have seriously reduced the welfare state: privatisations and cuts in public budgets have forced public agencies to downsize their activities, sometimes losing universality, effectiveness and quality of services. The pandemic has dramatically shown the price of such a neoliberal turn. Market globalisation creates health threats and is completely unable to respond to emergencies. Private health care is turning out to be largely irrelevant in facing the pandemic. The welfare state should not be considered a ‘cost’ for the private economic system. It would be a mistake to believe that, once the pandemic has passed, the economy could go back to ‘normal’. We need to rethink production and consumption considering health and environmental needs.

The first part of this study, explored by Ashley Popp, presents an investigation into a relatively unexamined area of physical education: an analysis of a transcultural phenomenon in the history of dance. Data has been collected from primary sources and archival evidence to assess competing ideologies inherent in the transformation of a particular art form. In the analysis of the cultural migration through which belly dance was transferred from the Middle East to the United States, an adaptive reaction to the hegemonic relationships of culture, race, gender, and class has been observed. Beyond performance aesthetics, links have been made between the act of belly dancing and the building of women’s self-esteem, as researched by Chia-Ju Yen. The main purpose of her study was to explore how facial burn patients cope with disfigurement and the unfriendly attitudes of others, and examines the alteration of body image via inspiration provided by the performance of belly dance. This research was conducted from the perspective of an anthropologically thickdescription research method, and a case study was performed using in-depth interviews, including narratives by a woman who had suffered facial injuries. The results of the research showed that through family support, hard work and a decisive and studious personality, the patient was able to cope with the discriminatory attitude of others. The performance of belly dance not only made her emphasize her body, but also enriched her life.
