This text constitutes a response to the polemic reaction on my previous publication regarding the key issue within the Polish scientists’ careers (specialists in the humanities and the social sciences) – evaluation of their academic achievements on grounds of their publications in English in a specific high-ranking English-language journals. This time, I analyze the questions below related to the reliability of Web browsers, the scientific credibility of the Impact Factor, and to the different kinds of bias causing ineffectiveness of the commonly used bibliometric practices within the discussed scientific areas. Moreover, this article discusses the issue concerning publishing Polish scientists’ non-English articles. It also presents a problem of a wide dissemination of Polish knowledge abroad, indicating the validity of ascientific world perception, which is different from the anglocentric one. The text is enriched with a chosen current literature, which complements the presented analysis.

This article describes one way that unknown and ‘emerging’ artists with limited exhibition history or reputation take steps towards developing their careers. Artists cannot apply directly for exhibition opportunities, therefore they develop social associations with gallerists that are described as being ‘kind-of-friendly-with’. Using a descriptive ethnographic narrative drawn from a case study of artists as they navigate an evening of commercial gallery openings in New York’s Chelsea district, it is argued that establishing a career in contemporary visual art depends on the ability to render one’s self visible to other participants in an art world. Rather than viewing the symbolic value of artworks as antagonistic with the economic art market, artists seek to establish social associations in which different forms of value are interrelated. In conclusion it is suggested that this is an art world in which the ‘economic world reversed’ is inversed.

The claim that social practices have a relatively durable existence in space and time, and that their persistence depends upon their recurrent reproduction through necessarily localised performances is theoretically plausible, but what of the detail? How do the careers of practices and those who "carry" them actually intersect? In this paper we have two related ambitions. One is to show how selected practices are concurrently shaped by the ebb and flow of recruits and defectors and by what it is that cohorts of practitioners actually do. The second is to learn more about the relation between recruitment and reproduction by comparing the ways in which these processes play out in different situations. In taking these two ambitions forward through a discussion of digital and film photography and of floorball (a team game in which players use plastic sticks to hit a small ball into a goal) we explore ways of concretely examining processes that are implied in Giddens' theory of structuration (1984) and in Bourdieu's concept of habitus (1984). This exercise generates insights into the internal dynamics of practice and the methodological challenges of pinning them down.

The paper focuses on the changes that have occurred in women’s academic research careers and compares two generations: women who built their career under state socialism (before 1989) and the contemporary young generation of women. It aims to contribute to the discussion of how the current transformation of science and the academic work environment has impacted gender equality and women’s careers in academia. A life-course approach is used to analyse the interplay between individual, institutional, and structural barriers in women’s careers. Drawing on in-depth narrative interviews, the analysis focuses on the interaction between academic research work paths, institutional and organisational conditions, and family paths and examines the milestones that formed the career paths of women now and in the past, how the dynamics of an academic research career have changed, and how the ways and conditions for combining work life and motherhood have changed. The author argues that the neoliberal transformation of the academic labour market and current Czech family policy leave women increasingly less able to fit their life biography into their preferred career model than they could before 1989.

This article reports on a project that employed narrative inquiry captured on film to explore the creative practices of five mature graduates. They had previously been mature students and continued to work within their various communities after they had left formal education. The participants were asked to describe their creative practice and its impact on other people through interviews and presentations. A researcher with help from a professional filmmaker carried out the project. From the initial footage, three polished, edited versions of the films were made. The participants could use the films to promote their own work if they so wished. Narrative inquiry is a means of seeing the connections between significant incidents and longerterm impact beyond formal education. The film footage was able to capture the connectivity between formal education, the participants and the people who had been touched by their creative practices. It successfully gave a narrative coherence to the participants’ stories. Where appropriate, the visual aspects of creativity were captured, in this case, the participants all had a creative practice, and the visual realm was an important part of their stories. The findings of the project were that the participants had some shared values about the importance of creative education. They all developed portfolio careers in order to carry on their creative work. All the participants were able to give examples of particular instances where their creative practice had had an impact on other people. In other words, adult learning does not just influence the individual but can have a wider and longer-term impact on others.

We wczesnonowożytnej Koronie Polskiej i Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim biskupi-senatorowie byli nie tylko najważniejszymi urzędnikami w diecezji, ale także należeli do ścisłej elity politycznej, dlatego analiza ich karier powinna w równym stopniu uwzględniać obie sfery działalności. W artykule została podjęta próba wskazania czynników, które doprowadziły dwóch członków rodziny Radziwiłłów Wojciecha († 1519) i Jerzego († 1600) do biskupich mitr Wilna, a w przypadku Jerzego, także do kardynalskiego kapelusza i do Krakowa. Choć decydującym elementem ich kariery zdaje się być ich status społeczny (obaj należeli do jednej z największych i najpotężniejszych rodzin magnackich Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego), to wydaje się, ze bez wykształcenia, oraz osobistych zalet i talentów nie udałoby się im tak wiele osiągnąć w dziele reformy kościoła. Artykuł kończy się refleksją nad prawnymi i duszpasterskimi owocami ich pracy przekraczającymi granice kościelne i polityczne.

In the early modern Crown of Poland and the Great Duchy of Lithuania, the bishops-senators not only were the most important diocese officials but also belonged to the narrow political elite. That is why the analysis of their careers should take into consideration both these spheres. The article aims at pointing to factors which led two members of the Radziwiłł family – Wojciech († 1519) and Jerzy († 1600) to Cracow and galeri. Although the decisive element of their careers seems to be their social status (both belonged to one of the greatest and most powerful aristocratic family of the Great Duchy of Lithuania), it seems that without education and personal virtues and talents they would not have been able to achieve so much in the sphere of church reform. The article ends with reflection on legal and ministerial fruit of their work, reaching beyond ecclesiastical and political boundaries.
