The article is a trailer of bigger publication in the field of visual studies on museums of photography. The author analyzes the objectives and tasks of such institutions which include the problems of remembering different events (trends, etc) and attitudes toward the past, and their effort to categorize objects in museum collections. Also, he addresses the issues related to the organization and functioning of the museums, as well as exhibiting and storing their collections. The analysis also shows the scope of changes affecting the functioning of museums, which are forced to raise funds and find new groups of visitors. They have to consider new policies connected with essentially market-oriented ideas of “openness”.

The text is devoted to scientific and journalistic achievements of Marek “k-punk” Fisher. The author tries to show the originality of thought of the English theorist of culture and his contribution to the critical reflection on contemporary cultural phenomena. Fisher gained popularity in 2009 with the book Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative. He published in such magazines as The Guardian, The New Statesman, The Wire. In particular, he was interested in popular culture. The researcher and academic lecturer — with counter-cultural background — was often involved in defending the interests of the working class. The idea of the article is to familiarize the Polish reader with the concepts of Fisher, which are especially connected with the thought of Jacques Derrida.

This text outlines the theoretical concepts and projects by Oskar Hansen, one of the most famous Polish architects and urban planners of the 20th century. To reconstruct the ideas on which Hansen founded his utopian visions of the past (without limiting only to his most famous Linear Continuous System), it is necessary to explore his attachment to the ideal of revolution, his arguments related to politics, economics, social awareness and the relationship between power and opposition, as well as his studies of space organisation forms and related visual impact tools. Hansen believed that every person should shape the environment based on their own needs in terms of functionality and aesthetics. Residents should be able to co-decide on the shape of their houses, room layout as well as on the number and size of rooms. He believed that users knew best what they required and that top-down planning should never be imposed on them. This was one of the reasons for his contribution to Proyecto Experimental de Vivienda (PREVI), an experimental housing project in Lima, Peru.

An attempt at answering a question about the accessibility of events from a past in which researchers did not participate. The author ponders whether such events are in any possible way given by experience, and whether one can become prepared for such an experience. He writes about remembrance sites and the role played by objects-testimonies acting as sui generis depositories and transmitters of the suffering of others. In this context he also considers the philosophical ideas formulated by Edith Stein, who was of the opinion that Einfühlung permits a direct and eye-witness experience of the ordeal of another subject. This is possible due to access to the world of values, including historical and cultural conditions within whose range people feel, think, and act. Although the author does not trust phenomenology to the very end he argues that researchers dealing with the past are often totally unprepared for ruins, traces, and remnants of catastrophes. A confrontation with spaces and objects marked with tragedy produces astonishment, disbelief, shock, and incapacitation. The presented text poses questions about universal values, including dignity and liberty.

Artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o dostępność wydarzeń z przeszłości, które nie były udziałem badaczy. Autor zastanawia się czy są one w jakikolwiek sposób dane w doświadczeniu i czy na takie doświadczenie można być przygotowanym. Pisze o miejscach pamięci i roli obiektów-świadectw będących swoistymi depozytariuszami i transmiterami cudzych cierpień. Rozważa też w tym kontekście idee filozoficzne Edyty Stein, która uważała, że „wczucie” pozwala na bezpośrednie i naoczne doświadczenia doznań drugiego podmiotu. Jest to możliwe dzięki dostępowi do świata wartości, w tym także do warunków historycznych i kulturowych, w ramach których ludzie czują, myślą, działają. Choć autor nie do końca dowierza fenomenologii to przekonuje, iż badacze przeszłości często stają zupełnie nieprzygotowani wobec ruin, śladów i pozostałości katastrofy. Konfrontacja z przestrzeniami i obiektami naznaczonymi tragedią wywołuje zdumienie, niedowierzanie, wstrząs, powoduje obezwładnienie. W tekście pojawiają się pytania o uniwersalne wartości, w tym między innymi o godność i wolność.
