The essay is an attempt to consider the relation between center and margins. The author refers to the strategy of re-treating proposed by Tadeusz Sławek and to the gesture of closing eyes. Raised by Wolfgang Welsch concept of a "culture of the blind spot" is also very important - it shows how processes of centralization and marginalization works. The author refers to the ideas of Marquis de Sade, Giorgio Agamben, Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, and Karen Barad in order to analyse two characters who become conceptual personas - the homeless and the refugee. According to them, it becomes clear, that the relation between center and margins is an apparatus. The author points out, that such a relation doesn't really exist, and suggests that we rather should reconsider the world in categories of community and intra-actions.

The profession of social work is dedicated to the betterment of society and to the protection of marginalized and vulnerable groups. The profession’s mission is detailed in the set of seven core values: service; social justice; dignity and work of the person; importance of human relationships; integrity; and competence. Relationships between people and among groups are the primary tools of social work assessment, intervention and evaluation. In the time of coronavirus and COVID-19, there are many challenges for professional practitioners to adhere to social work’s core values as well as to maintain their own health and welfare in a time of uncertain and rapidly changing situations. This paper will examine the challenges and innovations for each social work core value and present ideas for innovation and adaptation suited to these times. The paper will present challenges and innovations using examples of two community agencies providing services to people who are homeless and addicted. In summary we will offer some insights and expectations for the future of social work in the coming years, after this experience of coronavirus and COVID-19.

The article uses photovoice to explore the everyday geography of homelessness and its affective dimension. We focus on two aspects of the everyday geography captured by photovoice: (1) movement in space and (2) the performativity of heterotopic places. The aim is to understand how the research partners as actors (re)present and (re)construct their everyday geography by visual means and how they relate to it affectively (or otherwise). Photovoice is a suitable method for this type of research as it has been used across the social sciences and especially in action research as a productive tool that allows people to document and reflect on their everyday life, their strengths, and their concerns, and to communicate all this effectively to the wider public. In this article, we critically discuss photovoice and argue that besides its action potential, it can also be used to generate rich visual research data. We present data collected from photovoice research on homeless people in Prague and Pilsen, two cities in the Czech Republic, and conduct formal analytical and hermeneutic analyses of the data. The photographs we obtained reveal the movement of our research partners – the homeless – in space and their relationship to different places and the people in them. In general, people were the most frequently photographed theme. The research revealed that social relations are the most important aspect in the creation and production of places in cities. Several factors, most importantly age, influence the extent to which social relations play this role.

Pomoc społeczna jest instytucją życia społecznego, której prawidłowe funkcjonowanie determinują nie tylko ramy obowiązującego prawa, ale również normy różnych systemów pozaprawnych (głównie systemu moralnego). Celem niniejszego artykułu stała się analiza pojęcia „pomocy społecznej” w kontekście godności oraz autonomii osoby bezdomnej, zarówno z perspektywy aksjologicznej, jak i prawnej. W opracowaniu zastosowano w szczególności metodę dogmatyczną. Perspektywa filozoficzna ukazuje, że pojęcie „pomocy” jest wieloznaczne i nie zawsze wiąże się z pozytywnym ładunkiem aksjologicznym. W ujęciu prawnym fundamentalnymi przesłankami „dobrego administrowania” oraz faktycznego zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa socjalnego osobom potrzebującym (w tym bezdomnym) są: godność osobowa i godność osobista, powiązane z koniecznością respektowania autonomii człowieka. Prawo pomocy społecznej, które nie uwzględnia tych wartości, nie może być ocenione jako „dobre”.

Social assistance is an institution of social life, whose proper functioning is determined not only by law enforcement, but also by norms belonging to diverse non-legal systems (especially the moral system). The purpose of this paper is to analyze the concept of „social assistance” in the context of the dignity and autonomy of the homeless, considered both from the axiological and legal point of view. In this regard, we use the dogmatic method. The philosophical perspective shows that the notion of „assistance” is ambiguous and does not always entail a positive axiological charge. From the legal approach, the basic premises of „good administration” and the actual provision of social welfare to those in need (including the homeless) are: personal and individual dignity, related to the obligation to respect human autonomy. Social assistance that does not take these values into account cannot be considered as a „good practice”.

The article seeks to describe the poorest class’s notion of time and through this critically address the prevailingly one-dimensional and unproblematised conception of time in the Czech social sciences. The relational concept of the poorest class here refers to individuals united by specific social practices and strategies that are determined by their position and mutual proximity within a social space. The article’s theoretical framework is anthropologist Nancy Munn’s practice-based or agent-oriented approach to time and space, according to which socio-cultural practices do not just occur in time and space but also create or produce that time and space. The concept of temporalisation (time and space) is used in this respect to refer to a variegated, symbolic process whose forms can encompass different degrees of awareness and consideration of the dimension of time. Through the optics of this theoretical approach the article examines four dimensions of agent-based temporalisation: (1) the tactical nature of time, (2) the relation between past, present, and future, (3) time reckoning, and (4) the rhythm of everyday practices. The text presents data from ethnographic field research conducted in the urban setting of the City of Pilsen. The aforementioned dimensions of time are understood as a reflection of social structures, that is, of the position of agents in a social space associated with poverty and marginalisation.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja grupy badanych, tzw. „młodych bezdomnych” jako wyodrębnionej na mapie miejskiej ulicy, specyficznej grupy wykluczonych. Autorka poszukuje w tej grupie pewnych cech swoistych dla adaptabilności, dających diagnostyczne możliwości przewidywania rezyliencji, będących stałym rdzeniem płynnej tożsamości a zarazem stwarzającym możliwości działań na trzech poziomach profilaktyki w lokalnym systemie profilaktyki i resocjalizacji. Kontekstem rozważań staje się koncepcja ekologicznego modelu Urie Bronfenbrennera.

This article speaks to a world order where forced labour is in plain sight. The starting point for the crime and recruitment of victims of human trafficking is often on the street. Homeless persons and individuals who have recently left correctional institutions are approached and swiftly transported to countries of destination. There, again in plain sight, they are taken to legal and regulated recruitment agencies and are found jobs. In many instances, they are placed in factories, recycling plants, and warehouses. Although these jobs are legitimate, what happens behind the scenes is not: individuals working have no access to their wages, suffer psychological and physical abuse, threats, coercive control, and their documents are taken from them. These clear components of forced labour are perfectly illustrated in the plight of vulnerable polish men recruited and transported to the UK who were discovered in UK’s largest police investigation into forced labour: Operation Fort. This exposé investigates and explores three key points where intervention is needed: two related to the recruitment of certain subgroups – the targeting of homeless individuals and those with a relationship with the criminal justice system, and a third, where forced labour is facilitated through the use of legitimate recruitment agencies.   Artykuł opisuje realia pracy przymusowej, która odbywa się na naszych oczach, a często zaczyna się na ulicach. Osoby bezdomne, a także osoby, które niedawno opuściły zakłady karne, są werbowane na ulicach miast i miasteczek, a następnie szybko przewożone do miejsc docelowych, gdzie są wykorzystywane. Za pośrednictwem legalnie działających agencji rekrutacyjnych, znajdują pracę. W wielu przypadkach jest to praca w fabrykach, zakładach zajmujących się recyklingiem lub w magazynach. Chociaż sama praca jest legalna, to co się dzieje za jej kulisami, już nie. Ludzie nie otrzymują wynagrodzenia, są wykorzystywani fizycznie i psychicznie, podlegają przymusowym kontrolom, są zastraszani i pozbawiani własnych dokumentów. Te elementy pracy przymusowej są dobrze widoczne wśród jednej z grup narażonych na stanie się ofiarami takiego procederu – Polaków rekrutowanych i przewożonych do Wielkiej Brytanii. Na podstawie ich historii, w niniejszym artykule zostały wskazane trzy kluczowe obszary, w jakich potrzebna jest interwencja. Dwa z nich dotyczą rekrutacji osób z grup wrażliwych na pokrzywdzenie – osób bezdomnych oraz osób mających za sobą przeszłość kryminalną. Trzecim obszarem jest ułatwienie świadczenia pracy tym osobom poprzez zaangażowanie legalnych agencji rekrutacyjnych. By ułatwić dyskusję nad tym tematem, w artykule została przedstawiona historia, która wydarzyła się niedawno, a w której 400 osób w wieku od 17 do 60 lat zostało zrekrutowanych i wykorzystanych do pracy przymusowej w Wielkiej Brytanii przez dwie polskie rodziny zaangażowane w przestępczość zorganizowaną.
