In the article Imagination and creation versus politics and power – on the example of Paris lectures by Adam Mickiewicz Ewelina Głowacka proposes to examine the vision of history created by Mickiewicz in lectures, in which many conviction about the past were built not so much on facts but on the imagination. The analysis mainly concerns the poet's etymological ideas contained in two lectures of the third course about the origin of the Slavs, where he told the ancient history of these people by studying the etymology of individual words. Using postcolonial theory, the author demonstrates that the historiosophy of lectures given at the Collège de France was a thoughtful strategy designed for specific political effects. As a professor of Slavic literature and languages at the cathedral in Paris, Mickiewicz assumes the role of a spokesperson for the Slavs in the West. The main goal of the poet's speeches was associated with the mission of freeing the Slavs from subordination to Western European countries, and in particular, of winning the independence of the Republic of Poland. As a poet and a visionary, Mickiewicz knew that such changes do not take place only in the military and official domains, but also, and perhaps above all – in the sphere of the imagination. Thus, the poet tried to create a new Slavic myth that would empower the Slavic culture and increase its political significance. In this context, theories of Hobsbawm's invented tradition and Anderson's imagined community are recalled, as they allow for a better understanding of the community-forming dimension of the narrative built by the poet. To outline the origins of Mickiewicz's postcolonial attitude, the poet's early works were also discussed, as already in his student days he exhibited cognitive skepticism about the official historiography and noticed some forms of symbolic violence. From an early age, he also knew that imagination is an indispensable tool of science.

CEL/TEZA: Głównym celem artykułu jest weryfikacja tezy o istnieniu zjawiska doliny niesamowitości w ocenie zaufania do robotów, na przykładzie robotów reprezentujących wybrane zawody o wysokim poważaniu społecznym. Sprawdzono także zależność poczucia bezpieczeństwa człowieka od rodzaju usług wykonywanych przez roboty. KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Badanie przeprowadzono metodą sondażu (survey’u) na grupie celowej studentów kilku kierunków z zakresu nauk społecznych i humanistycznych, w którym wykorzystano kwestionariusz ankiety zawierający wizerunki robotów antropomorficznych o różnym stopniu podobieństwa do człowieka. Ocenie zaufania podlegały roboty wykonujące sześć zawodów: sprzedawca, robotnik wykwalifikowany, lekarz, pielęgniarka, profesor uczelni, księgowa. Wnioskowanie przeprowadzono na podstawie rozkładów ocen oraz testu niezależności chi-kwadrat. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Badanie potwierdziło istnienie zjawiska doliny niesamowitości oraz zależności między poziomem zaufania i bezpieczeństwa a rodzajem pracy wykonywanej przez robota. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Według wiedzy autora, dotychczas nie badano w Polsce zjawiska doliny niesamowitości z uwzględnieniem ról zawodowych robotów jako zmiennej niezależnej.

PURPOSE/THESIS: The purpose of the article is to verify whether the ‘uncanny valley’ phenomenon arises in relation to robots in respected occupations. Additionally, the article investigates whether the sense of human security depends on the type of services to be performed by the robot. APPROACH/METHODS: The research is based on a survey conducted with a group of students from various university courses, in both humanities and sciences. The survey used a questionnaire featuring visualizations of anthropomorphic robots, whose similarity to a human being varied. The survey questioned the degree of trust towards robots in six professions: a university professor, a medical doctor, a nurse, a skilled worker, an accountant, a salesman. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The research confirmed that the ‘uncanny valley’ phenomenon does arise and that the degree of trust depends on the type of work performed by the robot. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: As far as the author is aware, the ‘uncanny valley’ phenomenon, accounting for the robots’ occupations as a changing variable, has not been studied in Poland before.
