One of the devices to enliven the stylisation of professional expression is the attributive adjective, which as a stylistically active means contains functional elements intentionally debilitating to the basic features of scientific style, namely an explicit endeavour to subjectivise the authorial assessment, or possibly to make the stylisation of professional discourse more distinct. The frequency analyses of the contemporary corpus of scientific communication written in Czech has evidenced an abundant occurrence of the attributive adjective, mainly in the humanities and social sciences. There the attributive adjective is a means of subjectivised authorial assessment, fulfilling the intention of indirect or even metaphorical appellation, most frequently through confrontation of twocomponents from different communicational spheres, or conveying vagueness, inaccuracy and relative values, itself being loaded with expressive marker. The fixedness of some profusely used collocations reduces the notionality of expression and, namely in monographs produced in humanities and social sciences where its occurrence is high, it may become a stereotype of cliché-ridden and trendy expression. Clichéd communication is typified by using hackneyed meaningless words, with the authorial scientific diction being permeated by clichés, hackneyed and empty phrases, and vogue expressions from various communicational spheres.

The article is an answer to questions concerning values, goals and functions of the University in the era of globalization changes that enforce changes in the area of higher education. The author emphasizes the need for balanced development of science, humanities and social sciences as a condition for preserving research independence, as well as the importance of cooperation, both in research and in the „shaping of autonomous institutionalism” of the University (Roggero). The article provides an analysis of the commercialization process of research results, based on data from Polish and foreign studies, and indicates its various forms and social costs. This is a study of the University's condition in the face of the growing importance of transnational corporations, regulating not only the flow of capital, but also the distribution of scientific prestige and appropriating in a different way the effects of academic work. The metaphor of the university as a enterprise/knowledge factory visualizes the errors in perceiving the role that it should play. It proves that research and teaching is not the production and transmission of knowledge, but the creation and sharing of knowledge. In this dialogical process, the idea of a university understood as a community of educators and taught in pursuit of truth is achieved most fully, not for glory, for making profit or for gaining a competitive advantage.

The article shows the history of an original Project –International Academic Conference that for almost eleven years has met with great resonance in academic circles: the Project highlights the most interesting issues in art in the context of the integration of interdisciplinary research in the humanities as well as the social sciences. This year the Conference has acquired an unprecedented scope. More than 100 people from twelve countries took part in it (Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Great Britain, Israel, Italy, Macedonia, Poland, Russia, USA). But the most striking were the topics “The New Trends in Academic Work and Education in the Humanities: Russia vs Foreign Countries”, “The Image of Art in Classical and Modern Art – an Interdisciplinary Angle of Research”, “Art History, Philology and Linguistics – Points of Intersection in the Context of Perspectives of Creating the Single Scientific Expanse”, “Psychological Methods in the Science of Art – Perspective Research Models”, “Concept vs Context in Art and Other Humanities”, “Source Studies and Textology in Modern Art Research in the Context of Other Humanities”, “Mass Media and Cinema in a Philosophical and Cultural Context: Methods of Creating a New Reality in Modern Society”, “Opera Theater and Jazz: Expanding the Space of Artistic Phenomena”, “Scientometrics in Art Criticism and other Areas of Humanitarian Knowledge: Perception of the Newest Data by Traditional Academic Consciousness in the Context of Systemic Improvement Research”, “Art and Culture in the Context of Legal Regulation in Different Spheres of Public Life”, etc. In general, the Project has become one of the most promising scientific events integrating the humanities and social disciplines. This provides the comprehensive study of the art in the life of society in the context of improving the conscience of humankind.

This article results from the reflection over the social ethos of scientists in the context of the domination of the quantitative perspective on the framing of science. The presented positions concerning the roles assigned to the luminaries of science represent the classical approaches in Polish science. They are mutually complementary, both in the institutional (Prof. K. Twardowski) and social (Prof. F. Znaniecki) contexts. They are also related to the universal message contained in the doctoral vows taken by scientists during the doctoral promotion ceremony, i.e. at the beginning of their academic careers. The intention to combine classical approaches to the roles and the resulting ethos of scientists with the current problems recorded in the Polish science environment aims to encourage self-reflection over the scientific status of the scientist’s “I”. Adequate tools constructed individually for self-analysis can serve this purpose. The indicated analysis may also improve the academic dialogue about the situation of science and about solutions that will facilitate its present and future development. The considerations are conducted from the perspective of humanities and social sciences. They are based on recalling the classical in Polish science positions defining the ethos of scientists and their social roles. It is so because, according to the adopted approach, they form the position of the modern scientist both in the academic environment and in the so-called outside environment.

Niniejszy artykuł stawowi wynik namysłu nad zagadnieniem społecznego ethosu uczonych w kontekście dominacji ujmowania nauki w perspektywie ilościowej. Przedstawione stanowiska dotyczące ról przypisywanych luminarzom nauki są wybraną reprezentacją podejść klasycznych nauki polskiej. Uzupełniają się zarówno w kontekście instytucjonalnym (prof. K. Twardowski), jak i społecznym (prof. F. Znaniecki). Pozostają również w ścisłym związku z uniwersalnym przesłaniem zawartym w rocie ślubowania składanego przez pracowników nauki podczas uroczystości promocji doktorskiej, czyli na progu ich inicjacji akademickiej. Intencją zestawienia klasycznych podejść do rol i wynikającego z nich ethosu uczonych z aktualnymi problemami odnotowywanymi w środowisku nauki polskiej jest próba zachęty do autorefleksji o statusie naukowym „ ja” naukowców. Mogą temu służyć odpowiednie narzędzia konstruowane indywidualnie na potrzeby autoanalizy. Wskazana analiza może również udoskonalić dialog akademicki o stanie nauki i rozwiązaniach, które ułatwią jej rozwój w teraźniejszości i przyszłości. Rozważania są prowadzone z perspektywy nauk humanistycznych i społecznych. Opierają się na przywołaniu klasycznych w polskiej nauce stanowisk określających ethos uczonych i ich społeczne role. Konstytuują one bowiem, w przyjętym podejściu, pozycję nowoczesnego naukowca zarówno w środowisku akademickim, jak i w tzw. otoczeniu zewnętrznym.

The article explores the notion of entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors in the sphere of academic entrepreneurship that had not been hitherto thoroughly researched. The goal of the article is to analyse the academic entrepreneurship in the humanities and social sciences. The research conducted among students of Wroclaw University was based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (I. Ajzen, 1991) and the Model of Entrepreneurial Event (A. Shapero, I. Sokol, 1982). For research purposes, the authors conducted questionnaires consisting of three parts. Part one comprised questions regarding entrepreneurial attitudes. Part two concerned future professional plans of students, including motivation to start a company. In part three, the respondents evaluated innovation and entrepreneurship centers. The results of the research support the conclusions that entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors are already being formed at the stage of education. The findings show that there is a need to form strategic educational programs that would provide proper incentives supporting students in developing their entrepreneurial abilities. In particular, this should include the humanities and social sciences.

W artykule zostało przedstawione zagadnienie przedsiębiorczych postaw i zachowań w obszarze przedsiębiorczości akademickiej, który dotychczas nie został szeroko zbadany. Celem artykułu jest analiza stanu przedsiębiorczości akademickiej w naukach humanistycznych i społecznych. Badania zostały przeprowadzone na podstawie Teorii Planowanego Zachowania (I. Ajzen, 1991) oraz Modelu Zdarzenia Przedsiębiorczego (A. Shapero, I. Sokol, 1982). Do przeprowadzenia badań zastosowano ankietę składającą się z trzech części. Część pierwsza dotyczyła postaw przedsiębiorczych studentów, druga objęła zagadnienia dotyczące planów zawodowych, w tym motywacji do podjęcia własnej działalności gospodarczej, w części trzeciej respondenci dokonali oceny ośrodków innowacji i przedsiębiorczości. Rezultaty badań wskazały, iż postawy i zachowania przedsiębiorcze kształtują się już na etapie edukacji. Istnieje zatem potrzeba tworzenia strategicznych programów edukacyjnych zapewniających odpowiednie narzędzia wspierające studentów w rozwoju ich przedsiębiorczych umiejętności, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem studentów nauk humanistycznych i społecznych.

The article looks at the problem of inadequacy of evaluation procedures used to assess the level of research applied by government institutions (in particular Science Evaluation Committee) to research units (institutes of Polish Academy of Sciences) and university units in relation to the actual research practice of humanities and social sciences. The author concentrates on the negative consequences for these sciences resulting from the application of the promoted model –stemming from the research practice characterising science, biological science and engineering – which consists in presenting research achievements by researchers. One of such evaluation practices distorting the real understanding of research achievements in the field of humanities and social sciences is marginalising the significance of monographs. The author takes a critical view of the new law on science and higher education introduced in 2018. New solutions which the law brought have become a source of problems concerning the accuracy of the assessment of research achievements in these disciplines. The author is particularly critical of the list of publishers imposed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. In his opinion this list should be abandoned. He also sees flaws in the compiled list of scientific journals. Still, despite critical remarks expressed by the academic community, the ministry has not relinquished the practice of automatic conversion of scientific achievements into points. In the author’s view, an appropriate solution would be peer review – especially for humanities and social sciences (particularly for the evaluation of the scientific merit of monographs). The article contributes to the discussion on the future shape of evaluation procedure of the quality of research activity which is being prepared by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and which will come into effect in 2022.
