Artykuł poświęcony jest analizie problemów związanych z dychotomią hardcore/casual, która używana jest powszechnie w dyskursie związanym z grami wideo. Wskazane są dwa typy problemów: globalne, związane ze znaczeniem obu terminów, oraz lokalne, związane z przekładem tych terminów na język polski. Twierdzę, że najważniejszym powodem niejasności jest dwuznaczność terminu „hardcore”. W jednym znaczeniu odnosi się on do zaangażowania kulturowego graczy, w drugim do zaangażowania kognitywnego podczas gry. Wskazuję, w jaki sposób rozróżnienie tych sensów objaśnia dychotomię H/C oraz dlaczego może ono stanowić podstawę polskiego przekładu obu tych terminów.

The paper analyzes problems associated with the hardcore/casual dichotomy which is commonly used in current discourse surrounding video games. Two types of problems are differentiated: global problems concerning the meaning of both terms, and local problems concerning the correct translation of both terms into Polish. I suggest that the most important source of confusion is the ambiguity of the term “hardcore.” In one sense it means the cultural engagement of players; in the other sense it means their cognitive engagement during play. It is shown how honoring this distinction explicates the H/C opposition and why it may form the basis for the Polish translation of both terms.

There are connections between the re-birth of anarchism as a social movement in the 1960s and the emergence of music and youth subcultures around the same time. This chapter explores these relations pointing out to more than simple time correlation between the two processes. The paper looks at which elements of the new wave of anarchist movement resonate the best with the D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) punk and hardcore music scenes. The paper investigates not only organizational dimensions of the connections, but also looks at the spatial aspect.

Eksperymenty i programy badawcze. Krytyczna analiza debaty między witalizmem a nonwitalizmem toczącej się na początu XX wieku. Debates in the philosophy of science typically take place around issues such as realism and theory change. Recently, the debate has been reformulated to bring in the role of experiments in the context of theory change. As regards realism, Ian Hacking’s contribution has been to introduce ‘intervention’ as the basis of realism. He also proposed, following Imre Lakatos, to replace the issue of truth with progress and rationality. In this context we examine the case of the vitalism — reductionism debate in biology inspired by the works of Indian physicist-turned-biologist Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858–1937), in the early twentieth century. Both camps had their characteristic hardcores. Vitalists led by John S. Burdon-Sanderson and Augustus D. Waller accepted religious metaphysics to support their research programme, which ultimately degenerated. Bose worked more with the ideals of science such as Occam’s razor, large-scale systematization of phenomena and novel prediction. I argue that his religious metaphysics, instead of acting as a protective shield, helped him to consolidate his position and allowed further problem shift resulting in a research programme that involved consciousness too. His research programme remains relevant even today.

The paper aims to convey why there was an increased interest in punk music and related genres that became part of the mainstream in 1990, and the specifics of such popularity, by studying the transformation of the perception of punk music and related genres in the historical and social perspective. The paper elaborates on the theory that the boundaries between alternative creation and mainstream were more fluid at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. For a short time, punk moved from the very edge to the centre of the music industry and become the focus of interest by mainstream media. The paper also brings forth some arguments why it was only a short phase. It points to the place of workers’ pub anti-aesthetics as an important cultural figure influencing the socialization of the generation of the “Husak’s Children”. What were the expert reflections of this music production, for example, in the form of music reviews released by official publishing houses? What role did the generational and class identifications of individual artists, music publicists, and fans play in the reception of punk? The research is based primarily on the analysis of official and unofficial music journalism, but also on interviews with the people involved.

Cílem předkládaného textu je na základě studia proměn vnímání punkové hudby a příbuzných žánrů v historicko-společenské perspektivě interpretovat, proč v roce 1990 došlo k nárůstu zájmu o punkovou hudbu a příbuzné žánry, které se staly součástí hlavního mainstreamu, resp. jaká specifika měla tato popularita. Studie vychází z hypotézy, že na přelomu osmdesátých a devadesátých let 20. století byly hranice mezi alternativní tvorbou a mainstreamem pohyblivější. Punk se tak na krátkou dobu dostal ze samého okraje do centra zájmu hudebního průmyslu a mainstreamových médií. Studie také předkládá argumenty, proč se jednalo pouze o krátkou fázi. Poukazuje na místo dělnicko- hospodské anti-estetiky jako důležité kulturní figury ovlivňující socializaci generace tzv. husákových dětí. Jaké byly odborné reflexe této hudební produkce, např. v podobě hudebních recenzí nahrávek vydaných v oficiálních vydavatelstvích? Jakou roli hrála v recepci punku generační a třídní identifikace jednotlivých interpretů, hudebních publicistů a fanoušků? Výzkum je založen především na analýze oficiální a neoficiální hudební publicistiky, ale také na rozhovorech s aktéry.
