The article discusses selected problems of the image, imagination and the ideological-aesthetic consciousness of the avant-garde in Croatian and Serbian literatures. Inspired by the ideas of modern Europe and opened to experiment, transgressions and mental function of the artistic language, it created an autonomous world of imagination. Utopian theories of reality evaluated from expressionistic conceptions of penetration of the world if matter and spirit, Earth and universe to surrealistic conceptions of over-reality.

The article attempts to reconstruct the aesthetical category of imaginarium by Andre Malraux. Malraux approached it on various levels: imaginative space of culture participant, artistic creation, museum a set of meanings, cultural codes and symbols. The category is a key to perception of the world where meanings and senses are both interpreted and constituted. The metaphor of imaginarium allows the French thinker to trace the way culture develops its meanings and senses as well as gives opportunity for an analysis of interactions between cutures. It is by imaginarium, its symbolic and meanings cutures develop as well as contact each other, leading to birth of new meanings and symbols.

Józefowski considers interdisciplinary studies of creative workshop as art form. He describes the structure of his original workshop and discusses the role of imagination and image. Józefowski considers workshop as an art form dating back to the premises of the avant-garde (Here the term ‘avant-garde’ is broadly used to denote innovative artistic activity) and contained in the current of its post-avant-garde manifestations. He analyses the demand for personalization of art, which causes the rejection of the rigor of work imposed by the artistic structure that is defined by technique. The essence of art becomes a functional relation between the main participants of aesthetic events—a creative artist, an on-looker, a subject matter, a relation consisting in art-experiencing. Their functions intertwine, creating an aesthetical field (cf. A. Berleant, Prze-myśleć estetykę, Kraków 2007). The concept of workshop refers to the idea of shaping reality through art, espoused in all currents and formations of the avant-garde. The postulate refers to two dimensions of experiencing the reality— external and internal. The shaping of external reality is achieved through the arrangement of the public space, introduction of new order of social space, defined by work/artistic process. The shaping of the inner reality encompasses the influence of the creative situation experienced by an individual on his/her mental makeup: views, emotions, values.

This paper explores the nature of mathematical beauty from a Kantian perspective. According to Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment, satisfaction in beauty is subjective and non-conceptual, yet a proof can be beautiful even though it relies on concepts. I propose that, much like art creation, the formulation and study of a complex demonstration involves multiple and progressive interactions between the freely original imagination and taste (that is, the aesthetic power of judgement). Such a proof is artistic insofar as it is guided by beauty, namely, the mere feeling about the imagination’s free lawfulness. The beauty in a proof’s process and the perfection in its completion together facilitate a transition from subjective to objective purposiveness, a transition that Kant himself does not address in the third Critique.

The aim of this article is to outline the phenomenon of the Polish-German border in 1919 and 1922 in the context of Imagination and Emotionalizing. Although the presentation platform – approximating the specificity of administrative-political lines separating Poland and Germany in the last century – introduces the recall of historical contexts, the primary tasks of the analyzes contain drawing conclusions from exploration, made in the area of broadly understood literature and journalism, showing the extent of the use of affective potentials related to the Polish-German border.

The biography of the authors or the position of their works in the European culture do not determine the fact that the works of the two artists have been compared. Similar subjects and motifs (animals shown in specific relations with people, lovers, little towns, elements of Jewish folklore, musicians, angels) play an instrumental role in their works. The experience of going beyond their tradition and confronting it with a different world becomes crucial for both writers. However, the most important element is the mythification of the reality that is created and which is interpenetrating the real and the surreal, which serves the function of creating the world which is not a subject of rational rules. Onirimsm, androgynous motifs, various forms of expression which are exceeding the limits of human condition and which are combining opposites create an exceptional image expressing the desire for acquiring the ability to synthetically show your own origin, to reject limitations imposed on by inherited outlook and to create consciously individual vision of the world. Mythification here is about making the work of art similar to a sacral story, the aim of which is to enable metaphysical experiences, to bring human closer to getting to know their own nature, world and rules that govern it, which is the subject of universal human longings crossing the limits of religion, culture and history.

In the present article I discuss the remarkable fact that many of the motifs to be found in Seneca’s tragedies – such as a horrible death, a madman, an obsession or some supernatural agent – are also to be found in abundance in the work of “Gothic” authors such as Ann Radcliffe and Edgar Allan Poe. Indeed, these motifs are now commonly considered to be the hallmark of the Gothic genre. I also analyse some of the techniques which Seneca uses in order to arouse fear and stimulate the reader’s imagination, comparing them with those used by Poe and other Gothic writers.

Education and upbringing is undoubtedly a challenge for parents, teachers and pedagogues. Searching for an appropriate method of education requires a lot of effort, especially when teenagers are resocializated. Every teacher tries to find the most appropriate method of their work, which is not an easy task in times of great progress in science and technology. The development of science makes it necessary to bring it closer to pedagogues and the aim of such actions is to improve working with teenagers. Modern pedagogue, basing his work on the traditional model of knowledge transfer, rarely finds approval of the teenagers, so it is necessary to reach for new methods of settle in the human beings at the Universe. Physical science becomes more and more accessible to the general public and can be an excellent basis for pupils’ interest in them. Hence the need for changes in the preparation for the future pedagogues, whose role is to stimulate the curiosity and imagination of the young generation - it is always the beginning of pedagogical successes

Kształcenie i wychowanie jest niewątpliwym wyzwaniem dla rodziców, wychowawców oraz pedagogów. Poszukiwanie odpowiedniej metody wychowania wymaga wiele wysiłku z ich strony, szczególnie gdy w grę wchodzi resocjalizacja młodego człowieka. Każdy wychowawca stara się odnaleźć najwłaściwszą metodę swej pracy, co nie jest łatwym zadaniem w czasach dokonywania się wielkiego postępu nauki i techniki. Szybkość rozwoju nauk ścisłych powoduje, że konieczne wydaje się przybliżenie tych nauk pedagogom, a celem takich działań jest udoskonalenie warsztatu pracy z młodymi ludźmi. Współczesny pedagog, opierający swą pracę na tradycyjnym modelu przekazywania wiedzy, rzadko znajduje aprobatę młodzieży, należy więc sięgać coraz częściej po nowe metody odnajdowania się człowieka we Wszechświecie. Nauki fizyczne stają się coraz dostępniejsze dla ogółu społeczeństwa i mogą być doskonałą podstawą do zainteresowania nimi wychowanków. Stąd wynika potrzeba zmian w przygotowaniu do zawodu przyszłych pedagogów, których rolą jest rozbudzenie ciekawości i wyobraźni młodego pokolenia – to zawsze stanowi o początku sukcesów pedagogicznych.

The city is a creation, which since ancient times mobilizes political and material productive forces of humans, as well as their imagination. Today, this potential is developed by various images of a technological city of the future, as the built from the ground, eco-city of Masdar. The narrative built around this city significantly exceeds the regional dimension, becoming the new universal figure of the dream about an ideal town. Simultaneously, the vision of Masdar as the "city of the future" is composed mainly of technological and economic elements, and as such, it distances itself from the imaginary dimension of the city, described by Lewis Mumford with the concept of "city-theater". Analysis of the "dramatic energy" inscribed to urban centers by the writer, will highlight possible weak points of the reflections circled around circled around the futuristic concept of Masdar.

The theme of Russia occupies a special place in the works of Ivan Bunin. He turns to Russia throughout his literary activity. In exile, his forsaken homeland becomes a source of special inspiration for the author, and a main subject for the book of his stories Dark Alleys, where Bunin included his Late Hour. In this short story, the author recalls lost places in his native land. The motive of the journey is plot-forming and connects two layers, which interact in the narrative: the journey that happened in the real past, and an imaginary journey. Bunin describes this imaginary journey as if it is happening in reality. The routes of these two journeys include new loci as Suez Canal, Nile, Paris..., which indicates the importance of the idea of geo-poetics for the author. Recollections in Bunin’s story Late Hour come up to the Memory, which tramples death. It proves the resurrectional power of art.

In this article, I analyze the social determinants of the development of creative imagination. Due to its importance, this phenomenon is one of the main areas of research in pedagogy and psychology, which, however, despite numerous analyzes, has not been sufficiently explained. One interpretation of the understanding of imagination as a social mental activity is outlined here. This approach is presented mainly in the works of L.S. Vygotski and his students. Their analyses go beyond the mechanical understanding of the imagination and the dualistic division of the imagined and real worlds. The cultural-historical theory of the development of creative imagination describes it as an internalized system of social relations. The development of this form of imagination, according to Vygotsky, is the main goal of human development. The most effective way to achieve it is education, which “nurtures” in the child all manifestations of a socially creative imagination.

The article presents analyses concerning imagination and its importance for building creative and open attitude towards accepting and initiating a change. The presented picture of contemporary system of education creates a wide context for changes aimed at shaping a new image of a student, whose imagination is the source of creating and transforming the world around us. Creative behavior is the tool for further personal development of any individual and his/her self-knowledge. Imagination, together with the child’s individual activity, is the creative power and basis for education in the 21st century.

British multimedia artist K. Davis has joined the campaign against sexbots initiated in 2015 by K. Richardson and E. Billing in the project Logging on to Love. Using photography, video, and sound design, she draws attention to how sexbots rearticulate the widespread treatment of humans as objects and underlines the commodification of sex. For Davis, sexbots in this sense are not simply human products, but anti-humanist tools. On the other hand, sexbot creators and their proponents argue that sexbots can aid people in their occasional loneliness, but also in reducing the sex trade or becoming an effective therapeutic tool. Therefore, sexbots are a controversy creating boundaries between humanity and inhumanity. By examining these differences, I argue in this paper that being human or inhuman in relation to sexbots can only be fully understood with regard to incest, which can contribute to understanding sexbots in a more symmetrical sense than the one offered by their critics and defenders.

This chapter consists of two parts: theoretical background and case studies. It aims at presenting children’s fantasies or mental images (be it verbal or iconic) of paidia as a word. The first part is dedicated to the investigations into children’s imagination, stages of its development, and factors that affect it. The other part analyses the works of 51 pupils who were supposed to draw “a paidia” and reads the ways they both concretised it on the pictures and described them.

Congenital aphantasia, or the complete absence of mental imagery, is a topic that has recently aroused the interest of researchers in many fields including philosophy, psychology and cognitive sciences. While it is generally supposed that we all have rich mental lives full of imaged representations, estimates suggest 2-3% of the population may have never formed an image or seen ‘in the mind’s eye.’ This paper aims to address the scepticism surrounding aphantasia, the challenges in communicating about mental imagery, and the research methods used in cognitive sciences today through the lens of Wittgenstein’s philosophy. The paper argues that 1) communicating about mental imagery involves language games that persons with aphantasia may not be able to play (i.e., makes reference to expressions and concepts that are meaningless for them, such as ‘visualise,’ ‘form an image,’ etc.); 2) that as a consequence aphantasia, in present research, is only describable negatively (as lack or incapacity); 3) that rather than a cognitive or a psychological issue, aphantasia should be understood as a grammatical one; and 4) that we need to invent new language games in order to come to a better understanding of conditions such as aphantasia, and to be able to appreciate the rich diversity and variability of human experience.

We will examine the largely ethical vocation of Romain Gary's memorial writing project, which leads it to metamorphose itself into a literary tomb of the forgotten dead. We will then discuss, from a more narratological point of view, how this memory emerges untimely in the narrative and sometimes frees itself from it to signify the transcendent character of the name and the face. Finally, we will show that Gary goes beyond the somewhat naive vision of the memory as a mere recorder of events or images by associating it with the imagination to give it a poetic and counter-historical use.

The article is a critical discussion of Tomasz Kukołowicz’s book Raperzy kontra filomaci, which is an important voice in the discussion on rap. The publication was devoted to the connections between the creative imagination of contemporary Polish rappers and the artistic activity of Vilnius philomaths. The author in her review focuses mainly on the part devoted to the subculture, the elaboration of which raises the greatest doubts.

Baudelaire blamed the bourgeois society and its photographic narcissism which leads to a perversion of the mythical posture and to a loss of consciousness of the ontological dissimilarity between reality and its image. That is why literature has to develop the imagination of the photographic image, which is both useful and magical, both referential and wondrous. Writers of the romantic era may disdain or admire photography, but they all experience the photographic objectivity and thus develop an antidote to the vain objectification of the collective Narcissus.
