Mussels from Mytilus spp. complex are important in aquatic ecosystems as well as their worldwide economic importance. Annual world production of marine mussels for consumption is around one million tons and in Europe exceeds 600.000 tons. These bivalves contain nutritious proteins, carbohydrates, mineral salts and a small amount of fat, but apart from cooks they fascinate scientists. The sensitivity of mussels to environmental pollution allows their exploitation as bioindicators. Additionally their inheritance of mitochondrial DNA is quite extraordinary. This article aims to present the blue mussel in the light of its ecology and genetics.

Mimetic rivalry is, contrary to appearances, not an oxymoron, as it would seem from the perspective of a modern researcher, but a hybrid attitude. Mimesis, meaning imitation, or identification of the imitator with the imitated, remains closely connected with the so-called mimesis of appropriation, which according to Girard transforms itself into pure antagonism. The resulting agonistic attitude (rivalry, competition) becomes a source of violence on the one hand, and a source of improvement or even self-creation on the other. It expresses a way of thinking characteristic of societies with magical culture, manifesting itself in an antinomy of concepts, opposing attitudes coming together to create one whole. The problem can be most clearly illustrated by the identity of opposites, known in the world of ancient concepts, especially in ancient Greece. Heraclitus’ unity of opposites is particularly relevant here; it contains two opposing attitudes, whose hybridism meant a violation of long-established moral, ethical, and religious – i.e. cultural – norms, creating an opposition towards everything that is positive, effective. It ensured a sense of balance, stability, and security within the cultural community.

In pace with changing social developments, cities undergo regular processes of transformation. Thus, following a temporary preference for suburban living, the inner city has for some years now been enjoying a residential renaissance. A further, as yet little noticed, trend is the urbanisation of former suburbs. Encompassing urbanisation and gentrification processes found in the inner-ring suburbs, this entails a breaking of established dichotomies and the development of hybrid phenomena that can be encapsulated in the acronym URFSURBS: ‘urbanisation of former suburbs’. Focusing on examples from Southern California and Greater Paris, this article places these developments in context and outlines their implications for future research.

Juan Jacinto Muñoz Rengel (1974) is one of the greatest exponents of the hybridization of the fantastic with other non-mimetic modalities and with popular genre narratives. The mestizaje characterizes, through juxtaposition or fusion, much of his work, generating the ultimate significance of a broader scope. The fantastic is intertwined with adjacent categories, including science fiction, terror and magical realism. It is also commonly combined with the historical, detective, adventure or humorous narrative styles. He merges these diverse modes of invention by transgressing the rigid and normative molds with the aspiration of constructing new literary options. The dissolution of frontiers between the fantastic and other neighboring genres is also potentiated with frequent intertextual nods and suggestive tributes to the traditions of the unusual.

Głównym celem niniejszego tekstu jest przedstawienie strategii radzenia sobie z sytuacją pandemiczną wybrane przez trzy krakowskie festiwale: EtnoKraków/Crossroads, Sacrum Profanum i Unsound. Z ich różnorodnych podejść wyłania się nowa, hybrydowa formuła festiwalu, za którą idą zupełnie nowe wyzwania. Wśród nich można wymienić: nowe modele interakcji między organizatorami, artystami i publicznością; reorganizacja przestrzeni festiwalowej; nowe wzory dostępu dla publiczności nowe formy wykluczenia i otwarcia; okazje i bariery dla (wirtualnej) wymiany kulturowej; i wreszcie, nowe typy przeżycia festiwalowego spowodowały zmianę i zatarcie granic między wymiarami publicznym i prywatnym. W rzeczy samej, można nawet twierdzić, że sektor wydarzeń na żywo jest skonfrontowany ze znaczącymi przemianami samego rozumienia pojęcia "żywości". Analiza jest oparta zarówno na danych zastanych dotyczących procesów produkcji i konsumpcji festiwali muzycznych (artykuły prasowe/recenzje, raporty), jak również pół ustrukturyzowanych wywiadach z dyrektorami artystycznymi, menadżerami i producentami wybranych festiwali, przeprowadzonych w 2020/2021.

The main goal of this paper is to show the strategies of dealing with the pandemic circumstances chosen by three of the city’s festivals: EtnoKraków/Crossroads, Sacrum Profanum, and Unsound. Emerging from their diverse approaches is a new hybrid festival formula, which brings with it brand new challenges. These include: new models of interaction between organisers, artists, and audiences; reorganisation of festival space; new patterns of audience accessibility and new forms of exclusion/openness; opportunities and barriers for (virtual) cultural exchange; and finally, a recalibration and blurring of the public and private dimensions brought about by the new types of festival experience. Indeed, it could even be argued that the live event sector is facing significant change in the very concept of “liveness”. The analysis is based both on existing data concerning processes of music festival production and consumption (press articles, reviews, and reports) and semi-structured interviews with artistic directors, managers and producers of the selected festivals, held in 2020/2021.

Architecture substantially strengthens and supports the identity of a city and its citizens. Buildings are the most easily and commonly available testimony to culture. The political transformation which took place in Poland in 1989, causing a shift in the sociocultural order, contributed to an important transformation of the urban areas. New contexts and discourses are being created not only by new edifices, but also by old architecture which is being converted and redefined. Historical buildings are adapted to the changing times, balancing between the past and the present. A new semantic code is forming: old contents are being replaced with new ones, compounding the meanings originally and secondarily given to architecture. Old identities are being questioned and new ones are appearing, which is accompanied by substantial overlapping and hybridisation.

Architektura w istotny sposób utrwala i podtrzymuje tożsamość miasta i jej mieszkańców. Budynki stanowią najłatwiej i najpowszechniej dostępne świadectwo kultury. Transformacja ustrojowa, która nastąpiła w Polsce w 1989 r., a tym samym zmiana porządku społeczno-kulturowego, doprowadziła również do znaczących przeobrażeń w przestrzeni miejskiej. Nieoczekiwane konteksty i dyskursy tworzone są nie tylko przez nowe realizacje, ale również architek-turę dawną, która poddana zostaje transformacji i redefinicji. Budynki historyczne przystosowują się do zmieniających się czasów balansując pomiędzy przeszłością a teraźniejszością. Następuje zmiana kodu znaczeniowego. Miejsce dawnej zajmuje nowa treść, odczytywana przez nadkładające się kody semantyczne, pierwotnie i wtórnie nadane architekturze. Dochodzi do kwestionowania starych i tworzenia nowych tożsamości ich nakładania i hybrydyzacji.
