Purpose: The purpose of this research was to obtain knowledge about the activity of contemporary folk healers from Podlasie from two points of view – the healers themselves and representatives of the local communities. Materials and methods: The research material had been collected over the last few years in the eastern Podlasie region, particularly in the municipalities of Bielsk Podlaski and Hajnówka (2008). A full range of qualitative methods had been used, ranging from structured interviews and casual conversations, to observations and participation in the researched practices. The subjects of the research were the healers and other persons functioning in their social environment. The group of non-healers was clearly diversified demographically as well as culturally. Results: The folk medicine practiced by the folk healers in Podlasie proved to be an autonomous system of knowledge, very coherent, traditional and symbolic (based on trust in God and non-invasive curative methods), and additionally, still quite popular among certain local communities. Though, it also must be stated, that the self-awareness of the healers contrasted with the ambivalent social reception of such folk practitioners. Conclusion: The dominant religious aspect opens a wide area for discussion about the importance of the power of sacrum, hope and the placebo effect for an active patient, positively engaged in the curative process, who decides to combine therapeutic methods of both academic and folk medicine. From an ethnological point of view, the activity of Podlasian folk healers could be viewed as a challenge and an opportunity rather than a danger to health.

This paper undertakes a critical examination of Czesław Miłosz’s negative responses to contemporary art in general, and American modernist poetry in particular. It focuses on Miłosz’s interpretations of Cézanne’s statements and Wallace Stevens’s poems, and concludes that the Polish poet’s inability and unwillingness to appreciate contemporary art results from his recognition and approval of mimetic representation as the only strategy which guarantees rationality, certainty, a sense of metaphysical hierarchy and which is informed by them. Quoted are Miłosz’s somewhat angry reactions to the concepts of abstract, non-fi gurative art as well as his words of admiration for the representational moment apparently inherent in both poetry and painting. Parenthetically, the paper points to Miłosz’s repressed feelings of existential and epistemological ambivalence, arguably the most valuable aspect of his work.

The use of social media (SM) is prevalent not only in private, but also in professional areas, and its overall involvement in our lives has grown immensely over the past decade. According to Bishop (2018), this is a phenomenon unlike anything seen throughout history. Previous studies on SM have analysed this subject unilaterally – giving greater emphasis to the positive or negative impact on its users. This novel article analyses the problem of the co-existence of opposing emotions towards SM based on the example of Facebook. Data from 274 young respondents (since teenagers and young adults spend on average 2–3 hours a day connected to SM sites, more so than other groups) (Healey, 2017), were collected on various areas of SM usage perception. The results present the existence of ambivalent attitudes towards Facebook threefold: as a place for building relationships, as a source of knowledge about the life of friends, and as a source of information. The article raises doubt as to what extent SM has an impact on their users in the future. The issue of SM affecting the user (no matter their age) generally focuses on the negative aspects (SM are being blamed for increasing mental health problems among young people) (Girl Effect team, 2018); therefore, the fidings here suggest that a balanced perspective is required, also including some positive aspects.

The article analyzes the alienation of the main character of the manga series Death Note, who owns the Death Notebook referred to in the title. The said notebook allows to kill any person. Drawing upon the theses of Michel Foucault related to the rights of monarchs of bygone times to condemn individuals to death, and to ritualizing death itself, the author of the article shows Kira as a continuator of the said monarchs. The motif of death from the hands of another person is indicated as a form of revenge for harms suffered by one, based on considerations by Jean Baudrillard. The text also aims to show that comic books are not just entertainment for the masses, but can convey serious content instead.

When African female writing commenced in 1966, it proffered a vista of female pro-testation of the individuality of woman. The clarion call for a revision and deconstruc-tion of patriarchal values became sonorous and distinct in the politics of gender. Various tools have been employed in this radical political act. Iconoclasm in the bid to destroy the emblems of patriarchy has served as a rude awakening to the dire need for a drastic change of cultural values. In the same vein, utopian devices have opened up a gateway to possibilities of a better world of the evaluation of integrity, probity and development hinged on creativity. There is also a reversal of the hegemonic mode of power where the power process is revaluated and deconstructed. This paper examines the varied thoughts of African female writers and theorists who seem to be entangled in a cultural bind immanent in a measure of ambivalence. It concludes that the female perennial quest for freedom may in point of fact be only chimerical.

Autor rozprawy wskazuje na duże znaczenie Turcji nie tylko w literackim obrazie świata najwybitniejszego polskiego poety romantycznego Adama Mickiewicza (1798–1855). Dorastał on w Nowogródku, na ziemiach dzisiejszej Białorusi, gdzie bardzo silną grupę stanowili Tatarzy, związani z kulturą turecką i polską, zmarł zaś w Stambule w czasie wojny krymskiej, pojechał tam jako emisariusz polityczny. Obraz Turcji u Mickiewicza pełen był ambiwalencji. Najwyraźniej rozwinął go w wykładach w Collège de France w Paryżu. Turcję przedstawiał jako historycznego wroga, z którym Rzeczpospolita toczyła wojny, ale też jako jedyne państwo, które miało, jak głosił mit historyczny, nie uznać rozbiorów Polski. W dziełach poety, w ich leksyce, dość silnie zaznaczają się także wpływy kultury tureckiej, która, np. w stroju, militariach, silnie oddziaływała na polską szlachtę.

EN

The author of the study points at an immense significance of Turkey not only in a literary picture of the world of the most eminent polish romantic poet, Adam Mickiewicz (1798–1855). He grew up in Navahrudak, on the territory of present Belarus, where the Tatars, connected to Turkish and Polish culture, made a strong group, and died during the Crimean War in Istanbul, where he went as a political emissary. Mickiewicz’s picture of Turkey was abundant in ambivalence. It received its full development in his lectures at Collège de France in Paris. He depicted Turkey as a historical enemy with which the Polish Republic waged wars, but also as the only country that, as the historical myth upholds, did not recognise the partitions of Poland. In the poet’s works, especially in their lexis, the influence of Turkish culture is quite marked and, e.g. in clothes and in militaria, significantly affects the Polish nobility.

The following article is an attempt to demonstrate Dostoyevsky’s philosophy of man. In this framework two categories seems most important: ambivalence and mystery. The picture of a man in Dostoyevsky’s novels is full of ambiguities, contradictories, paradoxes and – seeming – lack of logical senses. There is no total definition of a man, because he’s a big enigma. A man is not a monolith, he contains full of different existential and psychological areas. A man doesn’t have any ontological score, which would can to name and to determine him – particular, to name and to determine him unambiguously and permanently. An existence is a task. Can this diversity in a man integrated? Can the mystery of a man illuminate? It seems that Dostoyevsky sees only one solution: the Christianity.

PL

Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą ukazania głównych kategorii antropologicznych w literackiej twórczości Fiodora Dostojewskiego, wśród których tajemnica i ambiwalencja wydają się kategoriami najważniejszymi. Obraz człowieka w powieściach Dostojewskiego jest pełen sprzeczności, paradoksów i logicznych wykluczeń. Nie ma tu jakiejś ostatecznej definicji istoty ludzkiej, ponieważ jest ona zagadką. Istota ta nie jest bowiem jakimś monolitem – mieści w sobie rozmaite obszary egzystencjalne i psychologiczne. Przede wszystkim jednak nie przysługuje jej żaden ontologiczny rdzeń, któryby ją ostatecznie określał i determinował. Egzystencja jest zadaniem. Czy tę różnorodność da się scalić? Czy da się rozświetlić tę tajemnicę? U Dostojewskiego odpowiedzi należy szukać w chrześcijaństwie.

Western society and its fi ction faces the overwhelming problem of masculinity and its modeling. The era of war, capitalism, the challenges of feminism aff ect the ideology within which men are constructed both as individuals and as a social group. John Fowles’s fi ction tackles the crucial issue of male power and control as masculinity is put to test and trial in his 1965 novel The Magus. The defi nition of manhood, male virility and social respectability of the period shape the 20th century male characters in Fowles’s fi ction. This paper aims to explore how John Fowles investigates the role of masculinity and power myths on the personal level of relationship and a wider scale of war and capitalism in The Magus. Notions of masculinity off er the protagonist, Nicholas Urfe, a sense of a superiority and power over women in the course of the novel. Among the goals of the project is to examine the mythical journey of Nicholas, which becomes a testing ground of his masculinity and maturity, as well his trial and ‘disintoxication,’ which is intended to help him to reevaluate his life and his relationships with women. One of the issues posed is whether Nicholas Urfe is reborn as a new man at the end of his search for redemption or if he remains the same egotistic, ‘lone wolf’ as he appears in the beginning of the novel.

Sexuality is most natural and healthy when it is part of an emotionally genuine relationship, not even as its central part but rather as an upgrade of the intimacy of two people who are mutually loyal, committed, loving and respectful. However, if an individual was sexually abused in childhood, they may have suffered the severest consequences of sexual abuse trauma in the area of sexuality, and their experience of sexuality will be completely different from those who were not sexually abused. The article first describes what children learn about sex if they have been sexually abused, as this experience is very much related to the most common behaviours and experiences in adult sexuality. Then we present a theoretical overview of research on sexuality in adults who suffered childhood sexual abuse. The theory will be supplemented and supported by the statements of individuals who have been attending a therapeutic group for the sexually abused in childhood for two years. The statements quoted in the article refer to the period prior to the therapeutic process. Clinical experience shows that, until the victim has resolved the trauma of sexual abuse, the dynamics between the offender and the victim during childhood abuse is most often very similar to the dynamics of the abused with their partner, even in their sexual life.

issue 1(12) The Relational Turn in Sociology: Implications for the Study of Society, Culture, and Persons

277-301

EN

The strategic capacity of human agency to orient itself in a context of growing uncertainty and complexity depends on the degree and quality of its reflexivity and relationality, and of the civic impulse arising from the connection between both. The present article explores this capacity by analysing the results of an opinion survey carried out in May 2016, and by developing an argument about one collective agent: the Spanish citizenry. Spanish citizens send three main messages. First, they opt for a European course and for a range of policies consistent with convergence (and debate) between the traditions of social democracy and conservative liberalism. Second, they are attentive to the task of recreating a political community. Third, they ask for civil forms of doing politics. To send these messages they draw on socio-cultural resources, and forms of reflexivity and relationality. The article addresses society’s relations with the political class and with itself and the cultural resources (economic knowledge, historical narratives) that map these relationships within their global context and their past.

The article analyzes the image of Vienna in the life and works of a famous 20th century Austrian writer I. Bachmann on the basis of her story The Thirtieth Year (Das dreißigste Jahr). It underlines the ambivalent attitude of the author and the main character of the story towards the city of their youth and regards it as the dominant characteristic of the text. The past, which reminds of itself especially with the bothersome and all-knowing figure of Moll, does not allow the protagonist to establish communication with Vienna, which in turn affects the overall reception of the city.

Rereading of one of the most interesting paradoxical death models built on age differentiation is offered in the article. Deconstructive principles of différаnce and Krinein, typical for mature Ukrainian modernism and first of all for the most outstanding representative Mykola Khvyliovyi, are taken into account. The emphasis is placed on the challenge of trivial experience of death difference at the process of acceptation of poetic, triumphal, sacral emotional experience which is corresponded with Friedrich Nietzsche’s Dionysus-Apollo values. The idea of fragmental thinking is explicated as a correlate of delimitation, ambivalence and hovering over a gap/emptiness, which provide radical novelty of opinions about death connected with the discovery of aporia of its fathomlessness. Texts of the 1920th are considered as the territory of rereading of classical works by modernist writers. The texts represent a part of occidentalis-oriental humanitarian fund.

В статье предложено прочтение одной из интереснейших парадоксальных моделей смерти, построенной на возрастной дифференциации, с учетом деконструктивистских принципов différаnce и Krinein, органичных для зрелого украинского модернизма и прежде всего для самой яркой личности в нем — Миколы Хвылевого. Акцент сделан на опрокидывании тривиального опыта различения смертей в процессе акцептации поэтического, триумфального, сакрального переживания, соответствующего дионисийско-аполлоновским ценностям Фридриха Ницше. Эксплицируется идея о фрагментарности мышления как коррелята делимитации, амбивалентности и зависания над пробелом/пустотой, обеспечивающих радикальную новизну суждений о смерти, связанной с открытием апории ее бездонности. Тексты 1920-х рассматриваются как территория повторного прочтения писателями-модернистами классических текстов, вошедших в окцидально-ориентальный фонд гуманитаристики.

The concept of totalitarianism was particularly prevalent in intellectual and political debate in Germany in the 1970s, and was motivated largely by anti-totalitarian convictions. Although it did not enter everyday language, it persists in political rhetoric, where it is used today as a political football in speeches and constitutional reports. In response to historical approaches to the concept of totalitarianism, which generally contextualise the term and put forward alternative terms, this article probes the meaning of this term as it is actually used and misused in political and educational contexts in contemporary Germany. It concludes by highlighting the fictitious (figurative, semantic and epistemological) dimensions of the rhetoric of anti-totalitarianism, and calls for a more genuinely liberal, non-totalitarian, posture.

The aim of this article is to think through the relation between the structure of play and the constitution of sociality, particularly in the light of the work of the key theoretician of play, Johan Huizinga, but also with reference to other authors such as D. W. Winnicott, T. S. Henricks and J. Butler. In view of the extensive field covered by the study of the conduct of play and of the heterogeneity of the phenomenon of play, this study confines itself to an inquiry into the complex character of the ambivalent relation between rationality and irrationality; goal-directedness and the internality of goals; playfulness and responsibility; the individual and the society in the context of play. The study argues that play is a space of ambivalence which enables the cultivation of the creative negotiation of the relations of power, including subversive acts and transformation, the ability to combine the attitude of dependence with authority, the sacred with the everyday, the abilities of communication with otherness. Out of this space there is also born sociality.

Le but du présent article est de penser le rapport entre la structure du jeu et la constitution de la socialité en utilisant essentiellement l’oeuvre du théoricien clé du jeu Johan Huizinga, mais en se référant aussi à d’autres auteurs comme D. W. Winnicott, T. S. Henricks et J. Butler. Etant données l’étendue de la sphère thématique que couvrent les études du comportement ludique et la diversité des approches selon lesquelles on peut déterminer le phénomène du jeu, notre étude se limite à l’investigation de la nature complexe du rapport d’ambivalence entre rationalité et irrationalité, finalité et autotélisme, frivolité et responsabilité, individu et société, dans le cadre du jeu. Nous défendons la thèse selon laquelle le jeu est un espace de l’ambivalence, qui permet la cultivation d’une négociation créatrice des rapports de pouvoir, dont les actes subversifs et la transformation, de la capacité de combiner l’attitude la dépendance et de la souveraineté, du sacré et du quotidien, de la capacité de communiquer avec l’altérité. C’est également dans cet espace que naît la socialité.

This article tends to connect phenomenological research with the psychoanalytical approach by focusing on the issue of conflict as the crucial dimension of human nature and its dynamics. On this basis, it becomes clear that human nature cannot be explained through a strict causal schema; rather, it can be grasped by exploring the dynamic moti-vational structures of experience which are expressed in the ambivalent tensions and striving tendencies of persons as subjects of the lifeworld. I stress that conflict is not a mere additional and accidental characteristic of experience that can somehow be elim-inated, but it rather affects the fundamental structure of personal experience and should therefore be understood as a constitutive moment of human nature. Thereby, my claim is that both self-experience and the development of community can only be understood in the light of motivational conflicts.

Artykuł poświęcony jest krytycznej analizie teorii kultury Zygmunta Baumana, rozwijanej przez niego przed Marcem 1968 roku. Problematyka ta zaczęła zajmować w jego twórczości miejsce centralne w czasie, gdy został kierownikiem Katedry Socjologii Ogólnej na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim. Obok wielu artykułów Bauman poświęcił jej wówczas dwie książki: Kultura i społeczeństwo. Preliminaria oraz Szkice z teorii kultury. Pierwsza została wydana w roku 1966, a drugą z nakazu władz wycofano z druku i zniszczono jako element represji wymierzonych w autora w związku z wydarzeniami marcowymi. Niedawne odnalezienie niepełnego egzemplarza korektowego tej pracy, jej rekonstrukcja i publikacja – opatrzona napisanym po latach, odautorskim posłowiem – dają wreszcie podstawę do pełnej analizy wczesnej teorii kultury Baumana. Refleksja ta pozwoli przybliżyć słabo znany, a bardzo istotny – tak dla autora, jak i dla dyscypliny przez niego reprezentowanej – okres jego twórczości. Umożliwi ona także zdobycie cennej perspektywy do analizy jego późniejszych prac, ponieważ – jak tego dowiodę – wiele koncepcji, które wypracował on przed laty, było zalążkiem jego rozpoznań na temat transformacji nowoczesności. Artykuł został podzielony na dwie części. W pierwszej przedstawiam spojrzenie Baumana na kulturę jako na mechanizm redukcji wieloznaczności. Unaoczniam w niej inspiracje, jakie czerpał on w tej materii z różnych nurtów rozwijanych na gruncie socjologii i antropologii, ale przede wszystkim wskazuję na oryginalność jego teoretycznych propozycji. Część druga została poświęcona refleksjom socjologa na temat kultury jako procesu proliferacji ambiwalencji. Ów był jego zdaniem signum specificum kultury zachodniej drugiej połowy XX wieku i wyrażał się między innymi w zjawiskach: indywidualizacji, globalizacji i pluralizacji kulturowej.

The paper presents a critical analysis of Zygmunt Bauman’s theory of culture before March 1968. Culture became a central issue in his sociology when he held a position as a chair of the Department of General Sociology at the Warsaw University. He wrote several articles on this topic and two books: Culture and Society: Preliminaries and Sketches on the Theory of Culture. The former one was published in 1966; the print run of the latter was destroyed after Bauman’s expulsion from the University of Warsaw in March 1968. The only one remaining copy of the latter one – to be precise: a major part of the editor’s copy – has been recently found, reconstructed and published together with an author’s afterword. This gave an opportunity to make – for the first time – a comprehensive analysis of Bauman’s early theory of culture. This analysis sheds new light on all his work, as the ways he was interpreting the transformations of modernity in the last decades had its beginnings in his papers written in the sixties of the XX century. The paper is divided in two parts. The first one presents Bauman’s interpretation of culture as a mechanism of reduction of ambivalence. It discusses both his inspirations on the field of sociology and anthropology of culture, as well as originality of his own theoretical concepts. The second part presents Bauman’s vision of culture as a process of proliferation of ambivalence. As far as he was concerned this process was a signum specificum of the western culture in the second part of the XX century. Bauman discussed its following phenomena: individualisation, globalisation and cultural pluralism.

W artykule podjęto próbę przedstawienia sposobów doświadczania rodzicielstwa przez 17 młodych dorosłych, którzy stali się matkami/ojcami. Badanie przeprowadzono metodą fenomenograficzną. Jego celem było dokonanie opisu sposobu znaczeń, jakie młodzi rodzice nadają fenomenowi rodzicielstwa, co dla nich znaczy bycie rodzicem. Za twórcami fenomenograficznej metody badań przyjęto epistemologiczne założenie, że nie ma innego świata jak ten, którego człowiek doświadcza. Rodzinę uznano za szczególne miejsce uczenia się i doświadczania świata, które jawi się w świadomości młodych dorosłych jako koncepcja rodzicielstwa. Szczegółowe kategorie opisu, ujawniające koncepcje doświadczania rodzicielstwa okazały się dyskursywne i silnie powiązane z kontekstem. Ewidencyjnie zaznaczyła się kategoria ambiwalencji, co oznacza, że rodzicielstwo rozkłada się między skrajami doświadczenia i znacznie wykracza poza edukacyjny kontekst wychowania. Okoliczności towarzyszące doświadczaniu rodzicielstwa są silnie związane z przekazami kulturowymi wysyłanymi do grup i jednostek przez różnego rodzaju agendy świata społecznego. Nasi rozmówcy okazali się całkowicie w nie uwikłani. Utwierdza to w przekonaniu, że problem praktyki edukacyjnej związanej z doświadczeniem rodzicielstwa lokuje ją w świecie współczesnej kultury, rozdartej wieloznacznością, chaosem zmieniających się ofert, nasyconej złożonością kultury, „odwracalnej”, której treści podlegają ciągłej rekonstrukcji. Dostarcza to istotnych przesłanek do budowania teorii uczenia się przez całe życie.

This article attempts to present ways of experiencing parenthood among 17 young adults who have become mothers/fathers. The study was carried out using the phenomenographic method, which sought to describe how the young parents gave meanings to the phenomenon of parenthood; what it meant for them to be a parent. Based on the approach designed by the creators of the phenomenographic research method, we made the epistemological assumption that there is no other world besides the one that an individual experiences. A family was recognised as a special place for learning and experiencing the world, which appears to young adults as a concept of parenthood in their consciousness. The detailed categories of description, revealing concepts of experiencing parenthood, proved to be discursive and strongly context-related. There was considerable ambivalence in the findings, indicating that parenthood fluctuates between polar interpretations of experience and significantly goes beyond an educational context of upbringing. The circumstances accompanying experiencing of parenthood are strongly connected with cultural messages conveyed to groups and individuals by various lifeworld agencies: our interviewees proved to be completely embedded in them. Our findings support the hypothesis that the problem of educational practice connected with experiencing parenthood places it in the world of contemporary culture, which is torn apart by ambiguity and chaos of changing offers, as well as complexity-saturated “reversible” culture, the contents of which are subject to constant reconstruction. This provides essential reasons for developing a theory of lifelong learning in the family.

In the work of Janusz Gnitecki one can point to several areas of research that fall within the notion of the philosophy of education – anthropology and pedagogical axiology, methodology of pedagogical research, educational comparative studies. In his view pedagogy receives a specific interpretation according to which it is a meta-reflection and meta-narrative covering the space of human existence and essence and thus it falls entirely within the philosophy of education. An important contribution of this philosopher and teacher is the development and application of the ambivalence category in pedagogical research, to which this article is devoted.

Istotnym wkładem tego filozofa i pedagoga jest opracowanie i zastosowanie w badaniach pedagogicznych kategorii ambiwalencji, której ten artykuł jest poświęcony.
