The aim of this paper is to rethink the narratives surrounding Czech (post)socialist Do-It-Yourself material culture (DIY) and to explore how it has become a medium for symbolic expression in urban and rural spaces after the (post)socialist transformation. Employing theoretical frameworks of material culture (Miller, 1998; Sennett, 2008), this paper argues that Czech (post)socialist DIY material culture should be conceptualised as “vernacular art”, an art which harbours and triggers memories of the (socialist) past as well as reflects wider contemporary social relationships, the exchange of materials and ideas and the political-economic milieu. Artefacts as vernacular art represent social, cultural and political dis/continuities in urban and rural spaces brought about by the (post)socialist transformation, which can also act as symbolic manifestations in the sense of the Lefebvre’s social production of space and time (Lefebvre, 1991). Based on my research, vernacular art made by handy/wo/men is a multi-layered concept, which manifests time, space, creative and affective dimensions. Simultaneously, it is a micro-spatial practice driven by authority and autonomy that reshapes urban/rural spaces.

Marguerite Yourcenar’s novel The Work in Black provides descriptions of artwork. Fingerprints artistic figurations in his novel become both a text and materiality of Intermediality Ut Pictura poesis. How is formed the symbiosis of the diegesis and Ekhprasis in the novel by Marguerite Yourcenar? Mannerist processes allow the author to play on two different display modes: the text and the image called by the text. How is this transposition within the Work in Black, a novel supposed to represent social circles of the Renaissance by taking the idea to Breughel and simultaneously echo the turpitude where there the contemporary world. Communication between the image and the text does not only nesting but also a representation that is created as a space, an "inner distance" in the words of Georges Poulet, which makes the work a bet abyss in the search for the essence the art work, the philosopher's stone which is the original experience of vision. The curveball opens an "inner space" as Claude Edmonde Magny analysis allowing the novel to open and expand this optical illusion, create connections, secret architectures. We will try to develop these problems merging form of osmosis The work at Black Yourcenar, at the intersection of disciplines and critical approaches that think the work of art in its many meanings and semiotic richness.

In “The Waning of the Middle Ages”, J. Huizinga has pointed out that “all things would be absurd if their meaning would be exhausted by their function and their place in the phenomenal world, if by their essence they did not reach into a world beyond this.” (1924:201) Starting from this assumption, I purport to analyze the role/roles played by everyday/ordinary objects in the miracle stories depicted in the Trinity Chapel glazing and argue that their individuation/haecceity is subject to practices of ritualistic and artistic encodings

The study presents a theoretical-empiric analysis of the bride-wealth with a focus on the cultures in New Guinea. In his explanation, the author describes usual features of the bride-wealth as well as relating anthropologic concepts and explanations. Special attention is paid to selected types of artefacts used as bride price in the New Guinea societies. The study thoroughly deals with the description and explanation of the bride-wealth (oretno) at the Nungon ethic group living in the Saruwaged Mountains. The author focuses especially on cultural changes that have influenced the bride-wealth in this ethnic group. This concerns mainly the impact of Christianity on the Nungon culture, and on marriage. The Nungons profess Lutheranism or Adventism. The members of both denominations however adapt a non-compatible stance against oretno, as described in detail in the study. The aim of the study is to describe the form and transformations of the bride-wealth in New Guinea on an example of the Nungon culture.

The text reconstructs the implicit ontology of an author’s work in the copyright law of the Czech Republic (law no. 121/2000 “Sb”), and in its commentary, published in 2007 by Ivo Telec and Pavel Tůma. To this purpose, the findings of the philosophy of artefacts and of the ontology of artists’ work are made use of. The concluding section of the article is devoted to providing a critical evaluation of the identity conditions of an author’s work in the Czech legal framework, which does not take into proper account the so-called causal dimension of an author’s works.

Zagadnienie artefaktualnego charakteru prawa stanowi, zwłaszcza w ostatnich kilkunastu latach, przedmiot dyskusji wśród filozofów prawa. Choć może wydawać się, że jest to jeden z typowych sporów o słowa, to jednak służy jako interesujący punkt odniesienia dla analiz dotyczących charakteru pojęć prawnych z perspektywy kognitywnej, co z kolei skłania do ogólniejszej refleksji nad genezą i charakterem prawa. W tekście zarysowuję najpierw wybrane aspekty filozoficznej problematyki artefaktów oraz teorii metafor pojęciowych (z uwzględnieniem problematyki odwzorowania oraz ucieleśnienia), a następnie wskazuję, jakie znaczenie dla określenia charakteru prawa może mieć analiza genezy pojęć prawnych prowadzona w świetle podejścia kognitywnego.

The issue of artefactual character of law is an interesting subject of discussion among the philosophers of law. Although it may seem to be just one of the typical disputes about words, it serves an interesting point of reference for the analyses devoted to the nature of legal concepts from the perspective of cognitive sciences, which in turn leads to a more general reflection on the origins and nature of law. In the paper I explore, firstly, some aspects of philosophical discussions concerning artefacts and, secondly, I outline the theory of conceptual metaphors (including the character of mapping and embodiment). Then I point out how the analysis of legal concepts from the perspective of selected aspects of cognitive science matters for the theorizing about ontology of law.

W artykule przedstawiono przegląd historii białoruskiego wiersza wolnego XX – początku XXI w.: od Maksyma Bahdanowicza i Wacława Łastowskiego – inicjatorów tego eksperymentu w poezji narodowej – do współczesnych młodych poetów. Szczególnie dużo miejsca wiersz wolny zajmuje w twórczości M. Tanka. To właśnie M. Tank w białoruskim wierszu wolnym położył nacisk na obrazowanie z konotacjami narodowo-kulturowymi. Taka cecha jego poezji stała się jedną z wiodących cech jego liryki. Stwierdza się, że w utworach A. Razanowa i U. Arłowa białoruski wiersz wolny tę tradycję Tanka jeszcze bardziej utrwala.

In the article there is a review of the history of the Belarusian verslibre in the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries: from Maxim Bogdanovich and Vatslav Lastovski – the initiators of verslibre experiment in the native poetry – to modern young poets. It is worth mentioning that it was M. Tank who put an emphasis in the Belarusian verslibre on images with national-cultural connotations. Such a feature of the writer’s style has become one of the leading characteristics in his poetry – the tradition of Tank. It is established that the Belarusian verslibre in the 20th and the beginning of 21st centuries fixes this tradition in works by A. Ryasanov and V. Orlov. National connotations are more obvious in other cultures: they can be seen in German poems by A. Ryazanov and works by M. Tank in Russian translations.

This article discusses the extent to which normativity is situated in human biological and cultural ecosystems, with an emphasis on the role of artefacts. The basic question addressed is whether affordances – however defined – may be normative. The text briefly introduces cognitive ecology and ecological psychology, and then moves on to consider and reject the possibility of applying classical affordance theory to normativity. Lastly, it attempts to modify this account by referring to social and cultural affordance. The review and its conclusions are complemented by an original proposal to advance research on the normativity of affordances through an analysis of their structures and by stressing the role of human-artefact interaction.

PL

W artykule rozważa się, na ile normatywność jest usytuowana w ludzkich ekosystemach biologicznych i kulturowych, z naciskiem na rolę artefaktów. Podstawowe pytanie dotyczy tego, czy afordancje – różnie konceptualizowane – mogą mieć charakter normatywny. Tekst krótko wprowadza do ekologii poznawczej oraz psychologii ekologicznej, po czym przedstawia możliwość zastosowania klasycznej teorii afordancji do normatywności wraz z krytyką, a następnie – próbę modyfikacji tego ujęcia przez odwołanie się do afordancji społecznych i kulturowych. Przegląd ten i płynące z niego wnioski uzupełniono oryginalną propozycją wzbogacenia badań nad normatywnością afordancji o analizę ich struktur oraz roli projektowania interakcji człowiek–artefakt.

Writing systems and typefaces embodimented in any form (letter sketches, designs of typefaces, resources of sorts and matrices, prints and manuscripts, printing specimens, type foundries catalogues, typefaces specimens) are objects worth to become museum objects. Based on these, the museum will generate knowledge about script and lettering through: giving insight into conceptual work on designs of typefaces, acknowledging about history of development writing systems and typefaces, storaging of materials for the future correct digitization of the typeface,saving typefaces and writing systems from total annihilation. Hence: the catalogue ofbasic types of artefacts relevant to process of embodiment the script was present; the benefits that can result from the deliberate and conscious collecting of this type of artefacts as museum objects was outlined; the importance of the museum collection in research on script, typefaces and writing systems and its preservation as an element of heritage was indicated.

The article follows dynamic changes and evolutions in the history of research theories in the field of humanities. It begins with an analysis of studies on group identity, and drawing from ideas by Ewa Domanska, it employs the metaphor of the see as the space in which one can navigate for new themes and ideas. A special importance is attached to the concept of autobiography, especially in reference to the researcher’s life and experience. Boleslaw Prus’s The Doll and its critical reception offers a good case study to illustrate this approach of analysis which draws on private lives of interpreters and critics. The influence of autobiography on literary theory is analysed using Susan Faludi’s Backlash and In the Darkroom.

Artykuł dotyczy zmian w metodologiach humanistycznych. Wychodząc od etapu badań nad tożsamością grup, odwołuje się do tekstu Ewy Domańskiej i zastosowanych w nim metafor poszukiwania nowych tematów i obiektów jako nawigowania po morzu. Za istotne uznaje podejście autobiograficzne, akcentujące doświadczenie badacza. Przykładem takiego podejścia są interpretacje powieści Bolesława Prusa Lalka, weryfikowane w przebiegu życia. Najszerzej omówiony został przykład wpływu autorefleksji na teorię na podstawie książek Susan Faludi (Backlash, In the Darkroom).

Recently, in the circle of archaeologists, we observe discussions on the issues related to the contemporary archeology. This topic is also the subject of disputes between the opponents and the supporters of an innovative look at archeology. Studying this issue, it is worth pointing that the places and events connected with the contemporary history are increasingly becoming a subject of interest to archaeologists. It overlaps with another issue – devastation and destruction of archaeological sites along with many places of battlefields in our country. It is increasingly evident that the field of action of archaeologists touches the dark period of operation in our country by the German occupation authorities and the post-war communist authorities. We should keep in mind that even the dark part of our history must be protected. It is also our heritage, which should be a subject of protection enshrined in the Constitution of the Polish Republic with its tangible and intangible elements and without any restrictions. It would be advisable that the archaeologists, conservation authorities and all stakeholders should explain all the emerging doubts while working out on the common position in this matter. We should realize that the contemporary archeology is not only traces of the past events that surround us, but it is also the material evidence of our existence that will remain after us. It seems that the contemporary archeology is nothing but a continuation of the archeology, which evolves and follows the mankind, along with our sometimes complicated existence. It is still archeology, which is called the contemporary archeology in order to precisely define the period of its interest. We should keep in mind that the contemporary archeology is also an important element shaping the cultural awareness which further increases its value.

Cultural practices are part of everyday life. This paper analyzes the link between violenceand cultural practice. Via an analytical focus on social practices and interaction theory itargues that cultural patterns of interaction form a set of routines which link micro structuresof daily encounters with macro effects (1). It shows that these habitual patterns areclosely linked to historical ancestors and gender constructions (2). Finally it explains howhabitual patterns and rituals can be linked to the process of historical transformation (3).The paper analyses historical examples of violent behavior in order to offer a freshperspective on certain widespread behaviors. It demonstrates that in order to understandgun violence of the early 20th century, the reconstruction and understanding of historicalantecedents of contemporary interactions is necessary. Through a close reading and comparisonof weaponry practice in the 19th and 20th centuries, it becomes clear that modernrituals incorporated elements of the historical habitus. Thus it becomes evident that ritualforms of interaction have the potential to fuse historical patterns with new elements. Thisis the reason rituals prove essential to modern societies, as they combine elements of continuityand stability with the dynamics of change.
