Industrial society and powers which controlled that society are no more. Instead, there is a Seanet and an Empire, a new form of web power, which strives to control it by producing symbols, needs and identities. Through its agency - a rapidly weakening state - the Empire pushes the Seanet into the cage of post-privacy. In the post-private society the distinction between the private and public disappears which leads to the subordination of emotions to a new refined digital form of control. It is possible to escape from the overwhelming post-private control - through the nephemerides (new noninstitutional forms of net social life), desertion, and positive trolling. The text should be placed in the theoretical model that - out of lack of alternatives - might be called evolutionary net neomarxism.

Social advertising, which appeared in Poland after 1989, plays a crucial role in processes of social communication. Although it is still immature, it is becoming a vital element of education of the Polish society. Existence of mass social movements enables articulation of the issues that have been so far a social taboo. The article is an attempt to define a new research field in sociology, involved with social advertising.

In recent years democracy in South America has been challenged by many socio-political crises. One of the reactions to this system strain is the movement of 'piqueteros' that emerged in Argentina mainly as a response to poverty, unemployment and inequality. The paper seeks to give some possible explanations for the rapid growth and present significance of this social movement. It also shows the structural and socio-political correlations that contributed to the success of the 'piqueteros', who without any institutional resources or political clout have become a powerful political actor. The case of the 'piqueteros' may be an example of an effective mobilization of the latent and excluded groups of society who despite their apparent passivity can constitute an important element of social change.

Popular convictions as to character of Japanese culture are dominated by the orientalist stereotypes that include self-contradicting images of a society that is traditional and at the same time modern and technology-based. The ambiguous portrait of Japan seems to a certain extent justied, if one takes into account the transformation that took place throughout the 20th century and which gave rise to a new model of culture that was shaped thanks to a unique combination of various elements, both native and foreign. I am planning to focus on the impact of the mass media on the awareness and an everyday life of the Japanese people. Besides, I am going to consider the extent as to which the new environment has been transformed by the information revolution. For my research I shall use the contemporary cinema which perfectly reflects cultural issues of the nation in the process of the vehement social change, and which shows the hopes and fears of the future.

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.

Recognising the close interrelationships between social change and paradigm shifts, this article contributes to an interpretation of conceptual change in the study of borders. While borders continue to have considerable relevance today, we need to revisit them in light of their constantly changing historical, political, and social contexts, grasping their shifting and undetermined nature in space and time. The article underlines the multilevel complexity of borders – from the geopolitical to the level of social practice and cultural production at and across the border at different levels and, thus, not only along the dividing lines of nation-state sovereignties. It seeks to make a constructive contribution to debate within border studies by encouraging a productive understanding of the processual, deterritorialised, and dispersed nature of borders and their ensuring regimes in the era of globalisation and transnational flows, as well as showcasing border research as an interdisciplinary field with its own academic standing. Adopting the borderscapes concept as a central organising element, this article advocates for a relational approach to borders which takes into account complementary perspectives that consider the interaction between political visions and everyday socio-cultural practices, as well as social representations and artistic imaginaries.

A law not only reflects the existing social situation but also plays an important role when the situation changes. The law manifests itself in its conservative aspects, its innovative effects on the social relationships, in the actions taken by social institutions and in the course of social processes. It acts as an independent and dependent variable of social change in society; it is both the cause and the result of a social change. The legal tools of social change legitimize the ongoing social changes and help to enforce them via the authority of law. In the postmodern society with a pluralizing social structure and the growing normative and value-related plurality, law contributes and supports the minimum normative and value-related consensus of society. The law’s regulative, integrative and innovative functions have become necessary in the postmodern society. The increasing complexity of a social life and the need to restore legitimacy of the political system contribute to replacing the executive power with hypertrophy of legislative tools. In the process of post-modernization, law not only reflects and affirms social changes in society but it also becomes more and more important tool of social change.

The article presents the results of research concerning life orientations of rural youth from the region of Podkarpacie. The author distinguishes three basic types of attitudes that correspond with axiological orders prevailing in the period of great changes and that can be linked to the traditional society, modern society and the society in the late stage of modern development. In the surveyed population it is possible to distinguish a private-stabilisation orientation, which is characterised by the desire to preserve the traditional values and by opposition to the occurring changes. The second of the discerned orientations can be described as a mercantile orientation characteristic of societies in the early stage of modern development. The third of the distinguished orientations is called 'self-fulfilment' and it characterises societies in the late stage of modern development. The three orientations are rooted in the existing social structure. The private-stabilisation orientation dominates among school students with a low social status, which means that they represent the 'old man'. Students with a medium social status represent a mercantile mentality and are the embodiment of a 'new man'. Young people with a high social status, in turn, constitute a substratum for a 'post-modern man' who is guided by post-material values. The conducted research has proved that young people in rural areas live to 'different rhythms' and belong to 'different worlds' that can be linked to the past, present time and to the future. The rhythm of the young people's life will be largely determined then by their social status, that is by the cultural, psychological, social and material capital they have been equipped with. In the period of great changes these resources allow individuals to successfully adapt to the requirements of modern development.

The importance of information and information technology (IT), in many areas of human activity, is growing. The increasing prevalence of IT is a significant factor in changes in social and economic structures. The concept of the Information Society (IS) has become an important part of contemporary discourse. The idea of IS is often the object of strong criticism. This paper presents the main strands of this discussion and main allegations at the concept of IS.

The article stems from the research conducted in 1963 and aimed at establishing the hierarchy of prestige and attractiveness of Polish cities and towns by means of the poll, in which urban dwellers were asked to choose 4 Polish cities or towns, which they think are worth of recommending to foreign visitors. Studying both the resulted hierarchy and the opinions explaining the choice of particular city or town, the author comes to the conclusion that the assessment of a city's or town's prestige is independent of its administrative role and size. The particular criteria of evaluation suggest that the hierarchy is a phenomenon that emerged after the war. The opinions are largely informed by national stereotypes (e.g. the ideas of heroic post-war reconstruction of the state or technical development). Nation-wide stereotypes are more influential than region-specific ones.

The purpose of the article is to analyse Immanuel Wallerstein's approach towards social change and to compare it with the concept of macrosocial change in modernization theories. The main thesis proposed by the authoress is that although Immanuel Wallerstein declares that perception of social change as framed by the 'ahistorical models' (such bias being typical of modernization theories) should be abandoned, he nevertheless advances a model which is equally ahistorical..

A large group of scholars believe that, in the face of an increasing awareness of global challenges, the mission, role, values and responsibilities of museums as institutions require radical rethinking and transformation. In 2016, at an ICOM conference, Mário Moutinho suggested that the category of new museology be broadened towards sociomuseology as a school of thought, whose task is to integrate efforts to adapt museum structures to the present-day reality, to achieve a new level of autonomy for museums, and to open museums to the social context. The philosophical basis for this movement is the idea of participation, and its goal is to create a network of institutions, communities and individuals whose objective is sustainable local development. This approach to museum activism means modifying the tasks the museum undertakes as a civic institution and the new model of its operation is aimed at real political, social and environmental change. The concept has met with criticism from researchers and museologists who believe that the museum should preserve its identity and focus on its traditional tasks. By giving examples of similar activity conducted by some Polish historical museums the author offers answers to the question of whether and to what extent museums in the twenty-first century can and should adopt this new model in order to truly influence their environment while, at the same time, preserving the functions of an institution whose role is to protect national heritage.

Demographic cycles – phenomena that consist of intertwined baby booms and baby busts – have been observed for several centuries. Its consequence is that numerically big generations at the child-bearing age cause high birth rate and the other way round. These regularities are significantly disrupted by crucial historical events - first of all by world wars, but also by increased emigration waves. Taking into account modern society we focus on present times. Obviously, it is only a metaphor because it is difficult to be restricted only to static presentations while talking about problems connected with the human life span. In order to do that three temporal dimensions are needed – that is also past and future. Only in this way the directions and pace of social changes can be presented.

Young Michael Bakunin came from Priamuchin, Russia's heartland, into the mid-nineteenth century Western Europe's revolutionary scene and left an indelible trace in history. Europe brimming with social change, seemed to be ready for that seeker of new ideas: cultural, philosophical, religious, later the indomitable writer, propagandist and organizer of revolutionary upheavals one of the leader of what can be described in short as the counterculture of his times. The interest in Bakunin's ideas, later known as the founder of anarchism, and his tumultuous life, seem to be insatiable. Libraries of book were written about him, to mention only the latest trilogy by Tom Stoppard. To the authoress to read a new book about Bakunin, especially one coming form Poland, where he used to be almost a taboo for many years, held a special fascination.

The article is a critique of the approaches in Polish sociology at the turn of 1980s that attempt to study social consciousness through social structure. These approaches are coined 'social structure and attitudes' by the author. He claims that these approaches do not allow reconciling the research on the role of social actor with the analysis of wider trends of society writ large. This results in the inability to account for the mechanisms of social change. The existing approaches describe social structure in Poland as passive and incapable of shaping culture. They do not explain what are the mechanisms linking attitudes and social structure. Referring to Weber's sociology, the author suggests that the crystallization of ethos groups in Polish society can be recognized as one of the structuring processes. Taking several exemplary ethos groups (Catholics, counter-culture movements and democratic opposition) as an example, the author considers their potential role in the process of social change.
