In the presented polemical article I discuss the paper by Izabela Wagner (Selektywna analiza problemu publikacji humanistów i przedstawicieli nauk społecznych w języku angielskim [Analysis of the problem regarding publishing the scientific articles written in English in humanities and social sciences by scholars originated and educated in non-English speaking countries], „Przegląd Socjologii Jakościowej”, 2012, t. 8, nr 1, s. 166–187). One of the main issues of her polemic was the process of articles’ review in the scientific international journals. On the basis of her single experience with an American journal, Wagner presents a very negative view on this process. However, neither the author of the presented polemic, nor other known to him Polish scientist who have published articles in the international journals in the area of social sciences have encountered problems described by Wagner. In my opinion, such information is very important for the readers of PSJ, since subjective and pejorative presentation of the reviewing process might cause prejudices towards publishing articles in the international journals among the Polish scientists. Additionally, I described in detail the process of assignment of points to the international journals by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (the knowledge of which might help to avoid important misunderstandings). Moreover, I presented the possible ways of dealing with unethical editor’s behavior described by Wagner and analyzed her advices on publishing strategies and international career.

Corporate social responsibility is becoming more and more popular all over the world. It is promoted by governments and transnational organizations. Nevertheless, since its establishment, it has gained a large group of enemies and still meets with a wave of criticism from different sides, beggining from economists, standing on the position that the purpose of business is only to generate income, through philosophers, who see in CSR a new tool for social enslavement, ending at sociologists, who see an element of corporate management and modern control technology in it. The article presents the most important arguments against corporate social responsibility. It also engages in a polemic against opponents of this concept. However, the starting point is the theory of stakeholders, considered by many as the framework of CSR.

The article offers a reconstruction of the text-based fight between Adolf Nowaczyński and Antoni Słonimski. It was not, as it is argued here, only a contest of styles and temperaments – though this exchange proved one of the most impressive, powerful, and dramatic polemics of that time in terms of articulation. However, it stemmed from a long history of tumultuous contacts which offered an amplified view of the problems of identity (Jewishness), politics, and community. A comprehensive view of the combat between Nowaczyński and Słonimski requires both an analysis of the rhetorics of the texts and an investigation into the context and dynamics of publication.

The article show the names of the sacrament of confirmation used in Piotr Skarga’s sermons. The analyzed material has been taken from “Kazania o śiedmi Sakramentach” published in 1600 in Kraków by Andrzej Piotrowczyk publishinh house, whereas the comparative material has originated from “Słownik polszczyzny XVI wieku” and other publications about religious language, which are enumerated in the bibliography. The analysis of the materials shows that Skarga has not created new names for the sacrament of confirmation. they have the same forms as in the Bible or in the papers of Church Fathers, namely confirmation, sacrament of confirmation.

An article Journalism – an occupation or profession shows the polemic about the problem whether to qualify journalism as profession. Author points the reasons for and against treating journalism as the profession. The author is especially focuses on the role and social mission associated with journal- ists. The first parts of the article concern the range of definitions of journal- ism as well as the areas and phases of its development. The following parts define the terms of occupation and profession and are the attempt to qualify journalism to one of those categories. Basing on the analysis of the literature, author claims that journalism do not fulfill the criteria to be qualified as profession. Author analyses the matter in order to show the society and the journalists environment, what actions should be undertaken to make the rank of journalism higher and make it more professional.

The article is a reply to polemic comments from Bartosz Skwara (“Sejm Review” 2017, no. 1) to my article Horyzontalne działanie praw podstawowych w Niemczech, [w:] Oddziaływanie współczesnych konstytucji na stosunki między podmiotami prywatnymi, red. M. Florczak-Wątor, Krakow 2015 [Horizontal effects of fundamental laws in Germany, in: The impact of modern constitutions on legal relationships between private entities, ed. M. Florczak-Wątor, Krakow 2015]. As stressed in the article and in accordance with the objective of the book, my interest lay in the analysis of applying the Drittwirkung concept in the constitutional jurisprudence of the FRG; it was not my goal to thoroughly discuss approaches to the issue of horizontality of human rights as presented in the German dogmatic theory. This stems from the fact that courts tribunals ultimately set the standard for the protection of rights of an individual, both in vertical and horizontal relations. The article presents arguments disproving the thesis proposed by the author of the polemic that in the FRG there dominates the direct version of Drittwirkung. It is unfound both as regards the German jurisprudence and the doctrine of law.

This article presents the profile of Stanisław Stroński – a well-known member of several terms of the Inter-War Sejm and press publisher (he perfectly combined these two professions, as his journalistic texts echoed the work of a parliamentarian), and Professor of Romance Studies at Jagiellonian University. S. Stroński became known as a colourful and influential figure. He belonged to a group of right-wing leaders and was a leading political opponent of Józef Piłsudski. He took part in the most important debates of his time. He was an activist of the Christian National Party [pol. Stronnictwo Chrześcijańsko-Narodowe], and later of the National Party [pol. Stronnictwo Narodowe]. His numerous sayings (remarks) and the way he conducted parliamentary debates went down in the history of Polish parliamentarism. He was able to argue with his political opponents while delivering a speech without losing the thread. He often used wit, irony and proverbs, and made use of his excellent knowledge of the French language and culture. S. Stroński went down in the history of Polish parliamentarism as an original and uncommon figure.

The article is the analysis of the place of Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna in contemporary literary discourse. The author of the article claims – using Pierre Bayard’s theory – that the poetess is known “more or less”: she is remembered as someone who got prizes and recognition but at the same time she is impossible to read nowadays. There is political ambiguity and antiquity in her texts that keep her in the past. Marzec points at four areas of literary studies, where Iłłakowiczówna is still present: 1. Poetics: Iłłakowiczówna uses an original and unusual type of the Polish tonic verse. The author of this article analyses it using tools of psychoanalysis. 2. Religious discourse: Iłłakowicz.wna is interpreted as the author of religious poetry but Marzec argues with such interpretations. 3. Post-dependence studies: Iłłakowiczówna has not been analysed in terms of post-dependence studies yet but she is mentioned in the Polish borderlines discourse. 4. Feminist literary criticism: Iłłakowiczówna used to be studied as the author of androgynous poetry, but Marzec points out other motifs such as miscarriage, infanticide or problems of the new woman, like work at government institution, contestation of vitalism and bureaucracy. The aimof this article is to show that writing of Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna needs to be read in terms of the history of literature which is devoid of evaluation and judging. Such analysis means going back in terms of modern literary studies which have undergone multiple turns that changed the tools accessible to contemporary critics.

This article analyses the reasons why Descartes refused to enter into a polemic with Gassendi after the publication of his new objections to Meditations. It argues that Descartes’ irritation was justified because the sensualist limitations of Gassendi’s position made him unable to understand the issues which constituted an important novelty in Descartes’ philosophy. For his part, Descartes is likely to have suspected that Gassendi was not even trying to understand the essence of his philosophy.

In this polemic essay I critically engage with the migration-modernisation argument presented by Marek Okólski in his article “Modernising Impacts of Emigration” published in “Studia Socjologiczne”, issue 3, volume 206. By employing postcolonial and decolonial theory I offer an alternative voice in the discussion on theorising migration. The polemic attempts to question the prevailing thinking on the migratory situation in Poland (patterns of immigration and emigration) anchored in the rhetoric of modernity and, by doing so, provoke further discussion on theorising and researching migration in Poland.
PL
W niniejszym eseju polemicznym pragnę krytycznie odnieść się do tezy migracji-modernizacji, która została przedstawiona w artykule Marka Okólskiego „Modernising Impacts of Emigration” opublikowanym w „Studiach Socjologicznych”, numer 3, tom 206. Moja wypowiedź opiera się na perspektywie studiów postkolnialnych i dekolonialnych oraz stanowi alternatywny głos w dyskusji dotyczącej konceptualizacji migracji. W polemice pragnę zakwestionować dominujące myślenie o procesach migracyjnych w Polsce (wzorach emigracji i imigracji), które osadzone jest w retoryce modernizacyjnej, tym samym, pragnę sprowokować dalszą dyskusję na temat stosowanych podejść teoretycznych i empirycznych w badaniach migracyjnych w Polsce.

The author refers solely to coexisting polemic poetic works (prints and manuscripts) adhering to a literary convention of an initiating text. The poems treat significant events from the final years of the First Polish Republic and became the seed bed of the ideological struggle. Their polemic character was usually indicated in their titles beginning with words such as answer, reply, response, travesty, “tit for tat”, or with prepositions “on” (“on poetry”) or “to” (“to the author”). Perhaps they would not have won much renown if it was not for their presence in poetic skirmish. This paper indicates various battle methods used by polemicists and the propaganda impact of these works.

The article presents polemics, concerning the concept of philosophy of the Lviv-Warsaw School (R. Ingarden’s polemic with K. Twardowski’s views on the possibility of forms and limits of cognition of mental states of other people), and three polemics with Łukasiewicz’s concept of trivalent logic: F. Gonseth; Urquhart; T. Bigaj. A polemical analysis of the differences in the understanding of the tasks of philosophy between the Lviv-Warsaw School and Polish neo-Thomism is also presented. The postulate of the neutrality of philosophy in relation to worldview problems leads to non-involvement in religious and political disputes, while the recommendation to avoid speculative issues – to an aversion to statements of a metaphysical nature. M. Przełęcki, considered to be one of the last representatives of the Lviv-Warsaw School, argues against this view.
PL
W artykule przedstawione zostały polemiki dotyczące koncepcji filozofii szkoły lwowsko--warszawskiej R. Ingardena z poglądami K. Twardowskiego na temat możliwości form i granic poznawania cudzych stanów psychicznych; trzy polemiki z koncepcją trójwartościowej logiki Łukasiewicza: F. Gonsetha, A. Urquharta, T. Bigaja. Zaprezentowano także polemiczną analizę różnic w rozumieniu zadań filozofii między szkołą lwowsko-warszawską a polskim neotomizmem. Z postulatu neutralności filozofii wobec problemów światopoglądowych wynikało nieangażowanie się w spory religijne i polityczne, a z zalecenia unikania zagadnień spekulatywnych – niechęć do wypowiedzi o charakterze metafizycznym. M. Przełęcki, uważany za jednego z ostatnich przedstawicieli szkoły lwowsko-warszawskiej, polemizuje z tym poglądem.

This opinion paper puts forward arguments that reflect how science’s most elite prize, the Nobel Prize may be, despite its grand stature, somewhat out of touch with the functionality of grassroots science. There is a disconnect between limited fields of study to which the prize is awarded and the interdisciplinary nature of complex research. This is the first weakness. The second limitation is the focus on a single individual, occasionally on two or three when the prize is divided, even though much research is frequently collaborative. This is particularly true in the biomedical and natural sciences, which tend to involve individuals with multiple skills, each or all of whom may be equally deserving of the Nobel Prize, given their collective participation. The Nobel Prize also tends to display poor cultural, linguistic and gender representation and/or bias. Finally, retractions of papers by select Nobel Prize laureates suggest that even these elite academics are not immune to the ills of science and academic publishing and that affect all scientists in a complex global web.

The first part of the article is a polemic with the Polish version of postcolonialism, which adopted the name post-dependence. The author criticizes mimicking the romantic code, abstractness, operating essentialist oppositions which, in the modern meaning of culture processes, are regarded as anachronistic. The second part discusses the works of Mariusz Wilk, who is a voluntary immigrant in Russia, and his writing is treated as a model of sovereign reflection.

Artykuł w pierwszej części polemizuje z polską wersją postkolonializmu, która przyjęłanazwę postzależności. Autor zarzuca jej naśladowanie kodu romantycznego, abstrakcyjność,operowanie esencjalistycznymi opozycjami, które we współczesnym rozumieniu procesów kulturywydają się anachroniczne. W drugiej części omawia twórczość Mariusza Wilka, który jestdobrowolnym emigrantem w Rosji, zaś jego pisarstwo traktuje jako model refleksji suwerennej.

The article is an attempt to describe the dispute in the theory of literature, as exemplified by a polemic between Professor Jakub Z. Lichański and Professor Michał Rusinek. The public dispute of these scholars was mainly conducted in the issues of some major Polish humanities periodicals at the beginning of the first decade of the 21st century and concerned the perception of rhetoric, which Prof. Lichański understands in a traditional but at the same time modern way, while prof. Rusinek applies conceptually sophisticated categories of postmodernity. Surprisingly, the method of describing this polemic is offered by classical rhetoric itself, which integrates textual, communicative and contextual aspects of each statement, demonstrating its persuasive, i.e.: cognitive, educational and aesthetic functions. Even in the case of a scientific dissertation, particularly, a polemical one.
PL
W artykule podjęta została próba opisania sporu w teorii (literatury) na przykładzie polemiki Panów Profesorów Jakuba Z. Lichańskiego i Michała Rusinka. Publiczna dyskusja tych uczonych prowadzona była głównie na łamach najważniejszych periodyków polskiej humanistyki w początkach pierwszej dekady XXI wieku, a dotyczyła sposobu rozumienia retoryki, którą prof. Lichański pojmuje tradycyjnie, choć zarazem nowocześnie, natomiast prof. Rusinek ujmuje retorykę w wymyślnych kategoriach ponowoczesności. Metodę opisu tego sporu przewrotnie oferuje sama retoryka (klasyczna), która integruje tekstowy, komunikacyjny i kontekstowy aspekt każdej wypowiedzi, ukazując jej perswazyjną, czyli poznawczą, wychowawczą i estetyczną, funkcję. Nawet publikacji naukowej, zwłaszcza polemicznej.

The paper deals with the development of specialized terminology in the field of cultural and creative industries. The first part, based on the Theory of Language Management and Critical Discourse Analysis, surveys how speakers in the field reflect the terminology and problems imposed by its use. The analysis focuses on a particular controversy in the nature of cultural and creative industries and its implementation in the Czech Republic (Gajdoš, 2010; Cikánek, 2011; Gajdoš, 2011). The second part scrutinizes the key collocation term kulturní a kreativní průmysly and its terminological variants. It investigates how the lexical components of the terms are used in Czech, what their common collocations are and what connotations they induce. The study shows how these properties affect the overall process of terminologization.

The article is a contribution to the concept of media dialogical network (DN), which is applied here to historical data. The paper is based on previous research on DNs in the Czechoslovak media in the years 1948–1989, here I focus on the period immediately preceding the Prague Spring. The aim is to describe how DNs are constructed in the relevant period and the subject of the analysis are two DNs that developed in the Czechoslovak media in 1966–1967. Both of them resemble the DNs of the 1990s in some respects and contrast with, for example, the DNs of 1952, which developed during the period of centralisation of state power and in media that were subject to censorship. The socio-political situation can therefore be considered, alongside the state of development of the technologies used in journalism, as one of the factors that influence the shape of DNs.

Drawing its methodological inspiration from A History of New Modernism. Czech Literature, 1905–1923 (2010), this study aims to present the development of Czech literature over the course of a single year: 1929. The objective, however, is not to portray the literary events and literary production of this year in the manner of a chronicle, nor in their entirety, but to capture certain ‘nodal’ characteristics of the imagination and literary language. There is one event that allows the author to take this approach — i.e. to identify themes, images and figures that are typical of the artistic discourse of the period —, namely the publication of Richard Weiner’s The Barber-Surgeon. The themes, motives, and figures found in this text (dream and dream writing, language, failure, literary polemics) constitute a point of departure for grasping the dominant features of a literary period which is otherwise rather amorphous. By virtue of Weiner’s poetics, a thread of sense begins to emerge, and eventually the ‘story’ or ‘drama’ of 1929, out of the re-constructed configurations and correlations of several different literary texts. Through its ‘otherness’, Weiner’s ‘dream poetics’ separated itself from the universalizing aesthetic concept of its time, thus falling ‘out of the picture’ from the perspective of literary history. By contrast, the author considers it as the central feature of a network of relations among a number of texts published in 1929: the short story AM from Jakub Deml’s collection My Purgatory; the poem The New Icarus by Konstantin Biebl; Karel Čapek’s Tales from Two Pockets; Jaroslav Durych’s essay on Poetics; and Vladislav Vančura’s novel The Last Judgement. The themes and figures under consideration here — poetics, dreams, dream writing and literary polemics — are all related to the writer’s self-consciousness in the creative process and the attention paid by the writer to material elements of the work. This manifests itself as an interest in the question of poetics and in a vivid ‘linguistic awareness’, which is also manifested in the widespread interest in questions of language and the culture of language that Czech linguists, especially those associated with the Prague Linguistic Circle, studied in accordance with — and in dialogue with — contemporary trends in modern art.
