The article discusses the issues of barriers to creating practice from the processual perspective in management sciences. The notion of practice is a relatively important cognitive concept in the processual approach to management. It is connected with the issues of the organizational change and draws on Anthony Giddens’s concept of structuration. Management issues understood in this way are presented in the context of the specific nature of enterprises’ functioning as part of their everyday actions. This article is a theoretical and empirical analysis of the issues discussed. The goal of the research is to recognize barriers to emerging practice in an enterprise. The researcher used qualitative methods. As part of this research, a semi-structured interview was conducted in an enterprise representing the textile and clothes sector. Barriers to practice development are of processual, resource and environmental character. The most important barriers to practice creation are those which are sector-specific and environmental.

The overall goal of the paper is to address the phenomenon of security culture. The conducted research was focused on analysing the possibilities of influencing the shaping of security culture by looking at the role of family. The study is based on a review of theories and published research about security culture and family. The aim of the paper is to answer the following research questions: What is security culture, what elements make up its structure and what role does family play in shaping it? The research methods were based on the classical theoretical methods used in security sciences and included an analysis of literature and scientific articles with the use of synthesis, abstraction and generalisation. Security culture is a category that characterises every security entity. Its structure consists of both basic and detailed elements such as: values, norms, attitudes, actions, cooperation and activity, reasonable openness, wise trust and risk. Based on the literature research, it can be stated that the basic outline of security culture is shaped during childhood and school years. It is shaped mainly in the family and in educational institutions. The research shows that the high level and appropriate nature of security culture can have a positive impact on the security of subjects and their environment, while the unfavourable form of security culture will have the opposite effect. The conducted research reveals that the role of the family in shaping security culture among children is indisputable and very significant and it should not be overestimated.

"Actions" are normally thought of as taken by individuals. But to understand their quality, it is not enough to classify them from the perspective of individual psychology (rational vs. emotional, technical vs. artistic, etc.). We need to grasp their relation to those forms of collective life which have a historical existence independent of specific individual action (institutions, the conventions of social gathering, the organizing principles of games, architecture, music, ritual, etc.). This paper focuses on what characteristics such forms of collective life share, not what seems to separate them (eg. into sacred vs secular, technology vs creative art). The main features emphasized are their choreography, that is their enactment within commonly understood patterns of a spatial and temporal kind, as well as rules of interactive movement; and their ceremonial character, something which can be found in simple situations such as a conversation or a meal, though much more intensely in major religious ritual. A particularly resonant image for these enactments of social life is the dance. Because there is a ceremonial aspect to all social interaction, the paper argues that individual action, necessarily oriented to the social context, always has an "artful" side (however habitual or technical). The paper draws on the writings of Wittgenstein on action, and those of Collingwood on language and art, to shape the argument. Illustrations are provided of the "artful" employment of language (especially by actors on the stage), the "artful" side of material culture, and from the author's own ethnographic studies, the significance of dance among Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia.

In the article I consider the problem of sentence stress and its influence on the semantics of the adverbs modifying information on the intentionality of actions, i.e. expressions such as niechcący 'unwillingly', nieświadomie 'unconsciously', przypadkiem 'accidentally', celowo 'on purpose', specjalnie 'intentionally' etc., with special attention paid to the two expressions from this class -niechcący and przypadkiem. I try to demonstrate how their interpretation may differ according to the position they take in the sentence structure. I assume that these units of language - as they are adverbs - belong primarily to the dictum of the sentence, which means that one should take the rhematic position as basic in the explication; all the differences that result from moving them to the thematic dictum should be then intepreted as secondary (as the effect of thematizing).

The article considers the relation of the Polish expressions connected with the notion of "accidentality" to the notion of action and agentivity in general. The expressions analyzed in the paper include przypadkiem, przypadkowo 'accidentally' or to przypadek, że_ 'it is an accident that_' (with special emphasis on the first one). Explications of the adverb przypadkiem in the two semantic papers referred to in the article - M. Grochowski (2009) and A. Bogusławski (2009) - emphasize such elements as "inexplicability", "unexpectedness" and, most importantly, "independence" of the events indicated by that predicate. Not denying such claims, I try to show that it is difficult to account for the semantics of przypadkiem without taking into consideration agentivity-related notions. First, this expression - as it is used in sentences - most often takes the role analogical to the one of "intentionality modifiers" (like niechcący 'unwillingly', nieświadomie 'unconsciously'); second - in some contexts przypadkiem operates on a metatextual level, indicating the very action of the speaker; and finally - there is reason to assume that it is exactly actions that enable "accidentality" ("independence") of events in the world in general. It means that actions would be at the center of all the accidentality-related predications, though they may not be explicitly mentioned in the sentence. The article is divided into three parts. The first provides characteristic features of the adverb przypadkiem as compared with other similar expressions (e.g. przez przypadek 'by accident'); with special emphasis put on where to find in the sentence content the "independent" events evoked by the notion of "accidentality". In the second part I demonstrate that "accidentality" predicated in the sentence points to some (hypothetical) actions undertaken by agents (not necessarily present in the sentence content). Since przypadkiem in the rhematic position and in the thematic position show different characteristics in certain interesting points, they are considered separately. And finally - in the third part I go beyons strictly linguistic considerations and try to answer the question why the adverb przypadkiem so evidently and so regularly evokes agentivity-related notions.

Artykuł zawiera wnioski pochodzące z dwóch projektów badawczych, których – najogólniej mówiąc – celem było odkrycie uwarunkowań dla orientowania pracy socjalnej. W niniejszym opracowaniu zostały opisane nieprofesjonalne konteksty, które oddziałują na pracownika socjalnego oraz mają znaczenie przy podejmowaniu przez niego profesjonalnych decyzji. Uwarunkowania te autorka nazywa zagrażającymi pracy socjalnej, autonomii pracownika socjalnego, a nawet autonomii klienta.

W artykule podjęta została kwestia wspólnotowego wymiaru aktywizmu społecznego oraz znaczenia, jakie aktywiści społeczni nadają innym ludziom. Na podstawie wywiadów narracyjnych autorka wyróżnia trzy aspekty wymiaru wspólnotowego: „bycie z”, „bycie przeciwko” i „bycie dla” innych (ludzi). Przeprowadzone badania i analizy są poszerzeniem wiedzy o polskim aktywizmie społecznym.

The issue of the community dimension of activism and the meaning that activists give to other people are raised in this paper. The authoress distinguishes three aspects of the community dimension of activism: “being with (others)”, “being against (others)” and “being for (others)” that have emerged from the analysis of narrative interviews. The results of the research as well as the analyses are an extension of knowledge in the field of Polish social activism.

This paper humbly attempts to explore Descartes’ conception of generosity as an ideal character virtue which can address the problems of the global world like struggle, intolerance and segregation; and thereby creates healthy routes for universal dialogue. The first part attempts to clarify Descartes’ conception of the foundations of generosity. The second part narrates Descartes’ views on generosity as passions and as a virtue. The third part explores the possibility of generosity as a virtue of the individual as well as social character. It also proposes to take the practice of generosity as a mechanism of developing cooperation, tolerance, and, consequently, universal dialogue and harmony.

Le sujet du présent article est la notion d’action, telle qu’elle a été vue par Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Il s’agit de présenter la conception de l’activité de l’homme dont la grandeur dépend justement de ses actes. C’est par ses actes qu’un individu réalise sa vocation et qu’il crée sa personnalité. La responsabilité et l’engagement sont les pricipes de son “être”.

W 1954 roku absolwenci krakowskiej Akademii Sztuk Pięknych – Jerzy Fedorowicz (1928–2018) i Ludmiła Popiel (1929–1988) – osiedlili się na Ziemiach Odzyskanych – w Koszalinie, mieście w osiemdziesięciu procentach zniszczonym. Zaczęli tworzyć środowisko artystyczne. W kraju pozbawionym wolności zainicjowali realizację idei wolności artystycznej – międzynarodowe Spotkania Artystów, Krytyków i Teoretyków Sztuki, z których pierwsze odbyło się w Osiekach w 1963 roku. W ciągu osiemnastu lat Fedorowicz był organizatorem i twórcą koncepcji tematycznych spotkań. W samych Osiekach, gdy odbywały się „plenery”, Popiel i Fedorowicz byli jednak przede wszystkim artystami, należącymi do ścisłego grona ówczesnej awangardy, prekursorów konceptualizmu w Polsce. Brali aktywny udział w większości znaczących wydarzeń artystycznych lat sześćdziesiątych, siedemdziesiątych i osiemdziesiątych dwudziestego wieku w naszym kraju. Rytm czasu naznaczany przez Osieki i rytm sztuki Fedorowicza i Popiel oddają dzieła, dokumentacja, lecz także notatki, wspomnienia, rękopisy. Część z nich zostanie omówiona w tym artykule.
