This article analyses (mainly theoretical) the implications of contemporary social changes due to feminization of global migration and the strategy of transnational mothering for the dominant discourse of mothering in Poland. Many macroeconomic and global factors set the stage for these kinds of parenting arrangements (Parrenas:2005) but migration of such unprivileged groups, challenge the middle class ideal of co-resident family and the ideal of intensive mothering. First, the authoress describes the transnational (mothering) phenomenon and the first reaction to it as shown in both public discourses and actions of public institutions in Poland, which are similar to moral panics (Cohen). Such features can be found while analyzing discourses about 'Euro-orphans' (such a label is given to migrants' children) that have absorbed public discourses in the first period 2007/2008 in Poland. Next, she will explore the relations between the said moral panics and what she is trying to show - the absence of transnational approaches in public practices. Thus, she relates to various global and local contexts: as feminization of global migration, care chains, local Polish culture, historical perspectives on mothering, etc. She proposes to treat institutional definition of families and gender-based parental roles as important evidence of insufficient understanding of qualities of contemporary social change forced by migrations and mobile societies with which families have to deal with. The authoress explores here also the concept of territoriality which is embedded in public ideals of 'good/proper' mothering and the concept of transnational mothering.

Urlich Beck in his famous work Risk Society argues that social theory and practice should pay more attention to the production and distribution of risk and fear. For the last two decades there has been a significant growth of interest - mainly in Western sociology - in a relatively new sub-discipline called the 'sociology of anxiety'. One of the concepts within the field is a Moral Panic theory. The aim of this article is to introduce this new problematic and present its main ideas and definitions. The moral panic theory is discussed with relation to other prominent sociological approaches, focusing on similarities and differences. Finally, the article discusses the feasibility of introducing the moral panic concept to the analysis of several Polish social issues.

Artykuł zawiera krytyczną analizę głównych wątków „Powrotu do wartości we współcze- snej teorii socjologicznej”, przeprowadzoną z punktu widzenia wyników dyskusji na temat dychotomizacji faktów i wartości. Autor krytykuje stanowisko prof. Sztompki w sprawie implikacji wartości przez „socjologiczne fakty” oraz rozważa główne warunki opisowego zastosowania pojęć wartościujących. Jak wskazują wnioski z tej dyskusji, dychotomiczne ujęcie faktów i wartości w socjologii (Weber) było próbą odpowiedzi na rozproszenie gramatyki, tj. wieloznaczność reguł wiążacych oceny i faktualne kryteria ich użycia. Dlatego współczesne porzucenie postulatu Wertfreiheit – rozważane na przykładzie pojęcia „paniki moralnej” – prowadzi do przekształcenia socjologii w zbiór wykrzykników.

The article contains a critical analysis of the main threads of 'The Return to Values in Recent Sociological Theory' by Prof. Sztompka, performed from the point of view of the results of dispute over fact/value dichotomy. The author criticizes the thesis about implication of values by 'sociological facts', and ponders the main conditions of descriptive use of evaluative concepts as discussed by analytic philosophers. The main results of the dispute indicate that dichotomic approach to facts and values in sociology (Weber) was an attempt to manage on the decomposition of grammar or ambiguity of rules connecting evaluations and factual criteria of their use. That is why a recent abandoning of Wertfreiheit postulate - exemplified by the concept of 'moral panics' - leads to the transformation of sociology into a collection of avowals.
