The real boom of Polish translations of foreign professional literature in the humanities is not a value in itself. In this field, as in many others, the quantity is not associated with quality, and there are so many misleading translations that they begin to threaten the quality of education. The author proposes criteria for assessing the quality of translation and presents illustrations of situations where these criteria are not met. Reasons of the decline in the quality of translations are examined in the area of complex conditionings, both economic and cultural, in particular those relating to the actual function of the so-called knowledge-based society. The skeptical overview of the knowledge-based society (and the mainstream sociology as its intellectual legitimation) is encouraged by the findings of the Foucauldian concept of 'governmentality'. Seen in this light, the knowledge-based society is proving to be one of the 'dispositivs' of neoliberal 'governmentality'. It would be worthwhile to consider whether there might be some reasonable alternative to the extensive model of publishing Polish versions of foreign scholarly literature enforced in recent years. The dominance of the 'knowledge-based society' cannot be eliminated for a number of reasons but it should be avoided whenever possible, also in the field of translation. For this purpose, a list of recommendations has been proposed, whose application could limit the negative trends in the quality of translations.

The Polish debate around Jan Tomasz Gross' 'Fear' took place at the beginning of 2008. The book relates to the question of Polish anti-Semitism after Word War II, and by the same token, it identifies the Polish self-image of a nation of victims as the source of the problem. The analysis of the debate around 'Fear' focuses on analogies with the German debate on Daniel Goldhagen's 'Hitler's Willing Executioners' from 1996; meta-discursive aspects of the Polish debate (concerning the book and the debate itself rather than historical events); some features of debate's politicization and mediatization; the problematic 'ethnization' of the debate; polarization of the standpoints and the lack of 'intermediary work' between standpoints. The conclusions lead to the postulation of an 'intermediary' discourse analysis.
