Although the inclusion of the subjectivity of the individual seems to be the principle of education today, the term „subjectivity” is understood in different ways, which gives rise to contradictory models of education. It happens so in the case of influential and contrary models of subjectivity, presented by the widely understood antipedagogy and Catholic personalism, which ascribe a strong connotation to it. The analysis of this problem in this article will determine the reflection on the understanding of subjectivity and the characteristics of postmodernity in this context. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that personalism not only protects the subjectivity of the pupil but also does not give up education as it happens in antipedagogy. The role of personalistic education is, in no case, to underestimate the subjectivity of young people but to support the process of preferences and to affirm their proper hierarchy of values, without which their fullness of humanity will not materialize.

Maximal individualism, which is currently a prevalent trend in the way many patients think, places high hopes in the achievements of biomedicine and assumes that everyone should always receive optimal medical care. Such an approach is in line with many normative and legal acts operating worldwide, including the Declaration of Human Rights. However, its feasibility and effectiveness in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic raises numerous ethical, social and economic dilemmas. The culture of prosperity and excess, characteristic of contemporary Western societies, makes it even more challenging to come to terms with this situation.

A conflict is a natural element of social life. Such a thesis has been developed for many years by numerous thinkers. Nevertheless, there have been several social phenomena that oblige us to analyse social conflicts in more depth in the twenty-first century. The article tries to explore new – what means different than in the past - types of conflicts, which however having old roots, at present seem to have different impact on individuals’ and global security. The main research questions the article tries to answer are connected with the relation between various conflicts and characteristics of postmodern society. To understand what kinds of conflicts are signs of postmodern society, Polish conflicts have been considered as cases taking into consideration the results of the Polish opinion polls on issues directly connected with the main characteristics of postmodern society.

Młodzież to szczególna grupa społeczna – kto już do niej nie należy wspomina ją z nostalgią, kto natomiast jest młody przechodzi przez okres pełen niepewności. Co jednak oznacza bycie młodym? Do jakich ram czasowych odnosi się to pojęcie? Artykuł ukazuje rytuały przejścia charakterystyczne dla młodych oraz zwraca uwagę na ich znaczenie w postmodernizmie. Omawiane zachowania znajdują swoje odbicie w powieściach takich autorów, jak Pier Vittorio Tondelli, Giuseppe Culicchia czy Isabella Santacroce. Szczególną uwagę poświęca się zagadnieniu konsumpcji wokół ciała, które jest znaczącym elementem kultury młodzieżowej. Widoczny staje się nacisk, jaki kładzie ponowoczesność na tożsamość młodych ludzi poprzez oddziaływanie w zakresie ubioru oraz dopasowania wyglądu do wymagań społeczeństwa konsumpcyjnego. Pełen sprzeczności, zmieniający się bagaż kulturowy młodych staje się sygnałem do podjęcia refleksji nad zmianami w społeczeństwie.

Critical events of a dangerous progression, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may become the turning points in the functioning of entire societies. Such events obviously foster changes. They disrupt the sense of ontological security, generate fears and enforce change in the organization of social relations, also in a creative and positive manner. In addition to these effects, they also induce many others. They are a magnifier enabling you to see how modern societies are functioning. Therefore, a pandemic allows to see and describe more clearly the characteristics of postmodern human communities. Some of these characteristics (e.g. group functioning) are essentially constant and unchangeable for humans as a species. In turn, some features are very specific, characteristic for a given time, type of events and nature of participating communities. In this text, based on the desk-research methodology and non-systematic participant observation, I indicate the unchanging characteristics of human communities that emerge in the moments of crisis. I also present the specific features of postmodern communities that have been highlighted by the pandemic. I try to indicate the effects of the pandemic on social relations in the future.

Modern reality is ambivalent, heterogenous, ambiguous and unpredictable. The living conditions it creates aren’t easy for adolescing people forced to realize many developmental tasks. Among theese tasks is forming a mature vision of reality. This article presents the postmodern view of the world from the perspective of young people, based on research conducted on high school graduates. It shows young people as very reflective, critical towards certain aspects of postmodernity but at the same time, due to highly developed adaptational skills, able to find their place in the world and make use of its possibilities.

Ławiak Alicja, Academic youth as a representative of a new phase in a social development. About the condition of identity in youthfulness. Culture – Society – Education no 2(16) 2019, Poznań 2019, pp. 235–244, Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-0422. DOI 10.14746/kse.2019.16.15. The post-modern reality, including the multitude of changes and expanding volumes of offers force the individual to continually redefine themselves. A person existing in contemporary reality is permanently on the search for their identity, in order to finally find the most suitable one, which (as it usually turns out nowadays) does not exist. Youths make a choice within the range of education offers. They more often than not decide to study, with studying being the reason for delaying the moment of entry into adulthood and taking over social roles that are specific for the period of young adulthood. In making this choice, young people enter the phase of so-called emerging adulthood, which for a while now has been a new, separate phase of development, fitting in between adolescence and young adulthood. They are not passing through the complex process of puberty any more, however, they do not always have a mature identity. They find themselves in a period characterised by intense exploration. The article attempts to describe the specifics of this stage, additionally presenting an overview of studies on the mode of coping with issues of identification characterising the early adulthood period.

Postmodernity, theatre and the media of the 1960s and 1970s underwent a process of intense shaping of their mission and self-awareness, although in each case it expressed itself different-ly. Postmodernity emerged as a philosophical, historiosophical and social project. The theatre perceived itself in the whole richness of its potential: as an agent of social change, a sacred institution, a tool of research (in anthropology, for example), etc. The media acquired a new dimension, i.e., their participation in general cultural and social processes, which up to that point had not been so obvious. Comparison of these three areas requires a proper ground, which can be afforded by a kind of discourse that does not decide facts, but – to put it in a slightly oversimplified way – is only based on ways of discussing them; at this level, problems (of ontological compatibility, for example) cease to be an issue. Such discourse has emerged within the framework of post-modernism and deals with two most significant themes: the social conditions (figuratively: power) and epistemology (knowledge). Both of these themes pick out the circumstances in which the media and theatre have been developing; for the theatre, knowledge appears initially as its foremost ambition, but it soon gives way to power and becomes trivial, which I describe ironically by referring to Jame-son as a paradoxical commentator of Lehmann. The latter rather inadvertently agreed with Jameson in his materialistic interpretation of art (there is more of such muddling “parallels”, but that only makes the riddle more interesting) describing how the theatre took on the role of an active participant in world processes. Such participation, however, was tantamount to rejec-tion of refined reflexion possible in theatre. (Theatre showed this refinement and, concurrent-ly, omnipotence upon the emergence of postmodernity). Due to its activism, the theatre has moved onto the field of social issues and, what is worse, entangled itself in the trivial reality of materialistic existence. The media, on the other hand, have opposite status. Awakening in the 1960s and 1970s as participants of varied social and cultural processes, they have gradually become a reason for, an instrument of, and a place for increasingly generalised reflexion that reaches the level of epistemology, i.e., it methodically poses questions about the modes and ways of speaking about the world, and by doing so gains novel insights into key areas of epistemologi-cal discourse tackled from various theoretical perspectives. Postmodernism or its effects play an important part in this process. In a way, theatre and the media have switched their places in the historical process of consuming the postmodern legacy; as a result, they approach post-modern themes from different angles and to different effect.

The paper focuses on the transformation of civilizations as a change of culture and the alteration of the professed value systems. Feliks Koneczny – a Polish historian and history philosopher, an author of the original comparative civilization theory – outlined his innovative way of understanding the concept of Civilization and the laws which rule within. The article’s main thesis articulates that in the contemporary Western Europe, not only the structure of values is transforming, but simultaneously there exist two structures of values, which are antagonizing perpetually and which derive from two different Civilizations. Consequently, the antagonism implies a conflict between Latin and post-modern civilization. They both exist beside one another and also dictate the methods of social life functioning. According to one of the civilizational laws outlined by Koneczny in his theory, Civilizations tend to expand in every way possible. This consequently leads to conflicts and wars between them, whilst most of the time the younger civilizations win over the older ones. The contemporary civilization crisis is the very outcome of the clash of the Civilizations.

The aim of the present article is to reveal the essential connection of MichelFoucault’s critical attitude regarding social relationships with the formation of thepostmodern ethos of making out of the human life an artwork. It will be shown thatthe main object of Foucault’s critique are the relations of power and knowledge inthe Christian priesthood and their modern transformation in nonreligious institutions.From this point of view, mainly based on the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche,the Christian ethics occur to be an accumulation of techniques of disciplinizationand normalization. This attitude towards Christianity and modernity leads to thepostmodern ethos of making out of life an artwork. This notion is mainly based onthe antique Greek and Roman philosophy, where instead of obeying to universalethical principles the human being struggled to be his own master. Therefore thepostmodern existence tries to be beyond all traditional boundaries, which resultsin the danger of neglecting the historical fact, that Christianity was and still is animportant institution of the Western Civilization.

Robert Spaemann is one of the leading contemporary philosophers whose thought is focused on Christian ethics. Despite his bonds with the Catholic Church he does not use philosophy to “prove” a doctrine but proposes individual ideas avoiding reductions. His reflections on people’s naturalness and historicity, teleology, paradoxicality of science do not lead to simple solutions but are the consequence of participation in the society of contingency. The authoress of this sketch considers if Spaemann’s thought could be inspiring for non-Catholics, as well as ponders over its connections with postsecularism, working out the modernity in respect of religiosity. This article shows what appears from his interpretations to the critical members of (post)modern society and where today is a place for heading for “the immortal rumor”. The authoress explains how Spaemann argues for the potential of anthropomorphic view and human ability to go beyond himself – which does not lead into nothingness.

This article presents Agnieszka Sosnowska’s book Sztuka znikania: Teatralność w czasach ponowoczesnych [The Art of Disappearance: Theatricality in Postmodern Times] (Krakow 2019) devoted to the theatrical character of postmodern cultural and social reality. According to Sosnowska, the categories of theater, theatricality and theatricalization can serve as useful tools for analyzing and interpreting the postmodern human condition. At the same time, she argues that it is the non-theatrical reality that constitutes the most appropriate area of reflection on theatricality. She analyzes selected works and artistic phenomena in which she sees an indication of theatricalized postmodern reality, namely the disappearance of various convictions determining the modern attitude towards the ideas of the subject, the world and art: American minimalism, the work of the Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica, Andy Warhol’s Factory and Krystian Lupa’s theater production Factory 2, Tadeusz Kantor’s emballages and Christian Boltanski’s project The Life of C. B. The review raises questions provoked by Sosnowska’s book, concerning, among other things, the author’s approach to her topic, which, according to the reviewer, is based on an under-defined concept of theatricality, a very specific understanding of postmodernity, and a not-quite-thought-out combination of the historical and philosophical perspectives.

The article presents a discussion on engaged anthropology, conducted since 2004 by ethnologists in Poland, which addresses the issue of the discipline’s identity. The purpose of this article is to look at how researchers redefine anthropology in the spirit of commitment and responsibility, and to place these considerations in a broader social and historical context. The author argues that the reception of postmodernism had the greatest influence on the development of reflection on the engagement in Polish ethnology. Postmodern anthropology is characterised by a critical reflection on fundamental anthropological issues such as: fieldwork research methods, knowledge and modes of its legitimation, the research subject, and methodological procedures. This critical approach contributed to the emergence of a new paradigm of knowledge. At the same time it caused a lot of tension and concerns related to the status of anthropology as a science, and triggered the reflection centred on the question: how should modern anthropology be characterised? One of the answers is that anthropology should be engaged. This proposal can be seen as an attempt to break the cognitive scepticism which is associated with postmodern reflection. It is also an attempt, taken up by Polish ethnologists, to deal with the dilemma of reconstructing the discipline’s identity in the face of contemporary challenges.

Postmodernity, also known as postmodern or late modern of clarity, it seems the key word in the description of modern culture and civilization. Stricter characterized for the consumer aspiration, the pursuit of materialistic values, hedonism, questioning the truth and the consequent relativism mean that preaching has it become an extremely difficult and demanding. The submitted paper the author raises the question whether this unfavorable context, the voice from the pulpit of the church has any chance of reaching the listener. Returns the first attention to the need for greater inclusion in the preaching of the situation in which the modern student living word of God, then outlines the genesis, the main assumptions of postmodernism and their consequences for the life of faith. In summary, attempts to formulate certain indications-tion concerning both the content and style of preaching in the simplifica-changed context.

The contemporary „homo consumens” does not want to accept that his ontic status is still best defined by the words „homo patiens”. Today’s attempts to eliminate suffering through constantly stimulated consumption may be considered as an act of the „degradation” of humans and humanity who by rejecting the truth about their nature as suffering creatures, paradoxically also lose the meaning of their life. If one denies suffering, then – at the same time – one closes oneself before life. For the escape from suffering is anything but the escape from life, at least the one that is experienced in a conscious and sensible way.

All societies are characterized by the presence of certain mechanisms responsible for their functioning. Those mechanisms ensure good reproduction the patterns of expression and interpretation of each indy- vidual and strengthen social bonds, making it conducive to the consolidation of the community. These mechanisms are often bureaucratically organized in forms of an institutional activities. This article takes the issue of the informal transfer of knowledge and experience between the different generations, and also the impact of grassroots and anarchistic self-organization of the local community in Krobia. Connections based on informal relations between the younger and older members of the community are an extremely important part of building local identity and improving the functioning of the organized community. As shown in this article, those informal relations are a particularly important element of differentiation of the local community in Krobia, because they are completely independent from institutional initiatives, spontaneously formed in the projects of varying themes, and finally, they are common and very important to the local community.

(Post)Modern Apocrypha as an Epiphany of Sense (on the Basis of Bulgarian Literary Biblical Paraphrases)

The paper is devoted to the author’s concept of modern apocrypha in the context of the two main tendencies of (Post)modernity: unmasking and paraphrasing. On the basis of the literary paraphrases of the Evangelical story, found in the Bulgarian (Post)Modern literary, there is shown a hermeneutic passage from “apocrypha as a literary mystification” (“literary apocrypha”), i.e. a concept often applied in literary studies, to “apocrypha as an epiphany of sense”, i.e. a concept which can be useful in cultural studies and in history of ideas. It is suggested that in the light of the postsecular thought, being an individual interpretation of the canon, the (Post)Modern apocrypha has a great epiphanic potential, which means that hiding minority truths, it reveals in fact some crucial, and crypto-theological, problems of the present. Drawing the axiological difference between “the unmasking apocrypha” (pseudo-gospel) and “the paraphrasing apocrypha” (epiphany of sense), the author claims that only the last one does actually incarnate Charles Taylor’s ideal of the authentic (and poetic) expression (of will), which helps in establishing an individual sense-making horizon as a positive response to the “heretical imperative” of (Post)Modernity.

This article is about social and cultural time as a constant and recurrent motive in Zygmunt Bauman’s work. Time and detemporalisation processes, continuity and mutability, permanency and episodicity are all sometimes more, sometimes less clearly outlined but always present themes in his analyses of modernity, postmodernity, globalisation, consumption, consumer society, contemporary social polarisation, and the condition of the socially excluded. This recurrent presence of the temporal dimension in Bauman’s writings means that his entire work can be viewed as an original, multidimensional, coherent, consistent and also very interesting voice on time and its vicissitudes in our present world. Bauman’s contribution to the temporal analysis of our age is presented against the broader backdrop of contemporary reflection on the issue of time.

Administration is one of the crucial systems for functioning of a state – organisation which is supposed to provide security at collective level for its citizens. Values under which administration operates, are important for security culture of the whole society (II stream of security culture). Concept of Max Weber’s ideal type of administration – bureaucracy – was at time of its creation an innovative way of thinking about the state, but as the time passed, several pathologic phenomena had occurred. Authors present here a sketch of Weber’s concept and its influence on temporary erosion of values.

The aim of the study is to answer the question what the postmodern melancholy is and how it manifests itself through emotions in contemporary works of selected Croatian poets: Božica Zoko, Marijana Radmilović and Tea Gikić. The analysis of poems focused on the theme of body language and metaphors associated with physicality, which are culturally consistent way of ex pressing melancholy. Postmodern phenomena, such as consumerism, media development, twilight of grand narratives, transformation of the aesthetics of the text, expansion of popular culture or value system instability, which create a melancholic anxiety. Characteristics of postmodern melancholy language have been analyzed which is also the language of women’s depression. The theme, most often undertaken by poets, turned out to be the body and language.
