This article summarises the excavations of tomb AS 91, uncovered during the autumn season of 2016 at AbusirSouth. The mastaba was highly damaged and its superstructure had almost completely disappeared. Three shafts were detected in the mastaba core. Shafts 1 and 2 were rather shallow, but to the contrary, Shaft 3 was considerably deeper, and at its bottom, an unfinished burial chamber was hewn. The burial had been looted, but a few fragmentarily preserved human bones, a fairly high number of animal remains, and even two Barn Owl skeletons were collected there. The archaeological report is supported by an archaeozoological analysis of the animal remains and by an anthropological study of the fragmentary human bones.

We live in an information society where the usage, creation, distribution, manipulation, and integration of information is a significant activity. Computations allow us to process information from various sources in various forms and use the derived knowledge in improving efficiency and resilience in our interactions with each other and with our environment. The general theory of information tells us that information to knowledge is as energy is to matter. Energy has the potential to create or modify material structures and information has the potential to create or modify knowledge structures. In this paper, we analyze computations as a vital technological phenomenon of contemporary society which allows us to process and use information. This analysis allows building classifications of computations based on their characteristics and explication of new types of computations. As a result, we extend the existing typologies of computations by delineating novel forms of information representations. While the traditional approach deals only with two dimensions of computation—symbolic and sub-symbolic, here we describe additional dimensions, namely, super-symbolic computation, hybrid computation, fused computation, blended computation, and symbiotic computation.

The most important legacy of Marxist philosophy is dialectical and historical materialism. One of exemplifications of how social psychology is inspired by this legacy is the theory of cognitive dissonance by Leon Festinger (1957) as a dialectical moment in human’s mind. This dialectics signifies that dissonances in cognition direct towards consonances in an infinite process of practical exploration coducted by individuals entangled in social relations and, at the same time, their creators. Cognitive dissonance, an unpleasant affect of contradiction between subjectively significant cognitive and behavioral elements, always tends to be reduced by either material praxis (behavioral component) or shift in consciousness’ content (cognitive element). Individuals privileged by exemption from physical work, disposing private propriety of means of production and capturing surplus value are in position of cognitive dissonance with the principles of primary commune’s social functioning. As multiple research in field of psychology has shown, it is more plausible to justify the contradictory and morally inappropriate behavior than to adjust to immoral deeds the behavior itself. Hence, privileged individuals make a shift in consciousness, creating new contents of cognition. These contents, justifying privileged position in social order, may or may not be transmitted from individual to social consciousness and become a part of ideological superstructure. Cognitive dissonance does not touch the falsehood or reality of subsequent edition processes of these new contents, but determines the plausibility of their appearance.

W artykule opieram się na pracach autorek i autorów związanych z tzw. „nowymi materializmami”/zwrotem materialistycznym, by odłowić z nich i porównać różne sposoby myślenia o „nowomaterialistycznej” krytyce literackiej/teorii literatury. Zestawiam następnie te projekty z bardziej tradycyjną perspektywą historyczno-materialistyczną - proponowaną choćby przez Fredrica Jamesona - żeby wskazać pewne zasadnicze różnice między takim podejściem do krytyki, które skupia się na tym, co w tekście rzekomo „prawdziwie” materialne, a krytyką podkreślającą zamiast tego materialny wymiar dzieła literackiego w ogóle (na każdym jego poziomie). Znana, często omawiana marksistowska opozycja między bazą i nadbudową pozwala wskazać jak owe dwa podejścia, pozornie zbieżne czy podobne, mogą w rzeczywistości reprezentować bardzo rózne, sprzeczne wręcz szkoły myślenia i krytyki. Moim celem nie jest przy tym krytykowanie nowych materialistów za nieumiejętność podtrzymania jakichś marksistowskich domgatów - chce raczej wskazać, że nominalne przywiązanie do materialności tekstu, połączone z pragnieniem stworzenia nowej metody lekturowej, prowadzić może do ustanowienia takiej perspektywy, która nawet na własnych zasadach nie jest w żaden sposób „materialistyczna”. Opierając się na uwagach Fredrica Jamesona o krytyce materialistycznej jako pracy „demistyfikacji i deidealizacji” raczej niż „pozytywnej” metodzie, przywołuję następnie prace Waltera Benna Michaelsa - jego projekt wydaje mi się przykładem takiej „negatywnej” krytyki materialistycznej, która, zamiast dostarczać nam nowych sposobów „uprawiania” interpretacji, pozwala raczej zwalczać przejawy idealizmu w myśleniu o literaturze.

In this article, I draw on the work of authors associated with New Materialism(s) and the material turn, in order to examine and compare various ways of developing a „new materialist” literary criticism/literary theory. I then set these projects against a more traditional historical materialist perspective, as exemplified for instance by Fredric Jameson, in order to point out some fundamental differences between literary criticism focused on the imagined „true” materiality of the text and one that chooses to emphasise instead the inherent materiality of the work of literature as such (on all its levels). Here, the oft-discussed Marxist distinction between the base and the superstructure provides a good example of how these two approaches, though ostensibly similar, may in fact represent two very different, even contradictory schools of thought and criticism. My goal is not to criticise new materialists for not maintaining some imagined Marxist dogma, but rather, to point out how a nominal attachment to the materiality of text, when combined with a desire to invent a new method of reading, may result in a point of view that, even on its own terms, cannot be seen as materialist. Drawing on Fredric Jameson’s remarks on materialist criticism as a work of „demystification and de-idealisation” rather than a „positive” method, I then refer to the work of Walter Benn Michaels as an example of „negative” materialist criticism that, instead of providing us with a new way of „doing interpretation”, allows us to de-idealize the way we discuss literature.

This article raises the question of whether the thought of Mao Zedong is simply de-rivative from Marxist thought, whether it represents a deviation from Marxist thought, or whether it contains any original contribution to Marxist thought. It discusses such topics as Mao’s concepts of the principal and the non-principal aspect of the contradic-tion, Mao’s concept of permanent revolution, Mao’s replacement of the industrial prole-tariat with the peasant farmer class, Mao’s inversion of the classical Marxist position of the base determining the superstructure, Mao’s concept of the complementarity of oppo-sites, Mao’s concept of antagonistic and non-antagonistic contradictions, Mao’s reduc-tion of all laws of dialectic to one law.

Normative acts, together with the constitutions, are primary sources of law in the Polish and Greek legal systems. On the other hand, normative acts in the Cypriot legal system together with the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus, the laws retained in force by virtue of Article 188 of the Constitution, the principles of Common Law and Equity, the laws enacted by the House of Representatives, are just some of the many sources of law in that state. Thus, in the three states mentioned above, the functions of the normative acts in question are different. With reference to this fact, the structures of normative acts are different too, although they are documents wherein rules regulating a certain domain of social life are drafted. The aim of this paper is to compare the structures of the normative acts analysed here in terms of Greek-Polish and Polish-Greek legal translation studies. The objective of comparing each structural element of the normative acts, and investigating their similarities and differences is to develop a model of applied contrastive analysis of legal texts for the purposes of legal translation studies. The application of this model of contrastive analysis provides concrete results in two fields of research: i) providing translation equivalents for legal terms connected with legal textology and ii) providing translation equivalents for the area of law to which the texts compared belong.

Akty normatywne, w tym konstytucje i ustawy, są w polskim i greckim systemie prawnym, prymarnym źródłem prawa. Tymczasem w cypryjskim systemie prawnym są one, wraz z Konstytucją Republiki Cypru, ustawami zachowanymi na mocy artykułu 188 Konstytucji, zasadami prawa precedensowego (Common Law and Equity) i aktami prawnymi uchwalanymi przez Izbę Reprezentantów, jednym z wielu źródeł prawa w państwie. Wynika z tego, iż we wskazanych trzech państwach rola aktów normatywnych jest zróżnicowana. W związku z tym, struktura aktów normatywnych może być różna, choć są one dokumentami, gdzie zawarto przepisy regulujące daną sferę życia społecznego. Celem pracy jest porównanie struktury badanych aktów normatywnych pod kątem translatologii legilingwistycznej grecko-polskiej i polsko-greckiej. Analiza porównawcza poszczególnych części strukturalnych, czyli badanie ich cech wspólnych i różnic, ma za zadanie wypracowanie modelu aplikowanych badań porównawczych tekstów prawnych na potrzeby translatologii legilingwistycznej. Aplikacja modelu analizy porównawczej dostarcza wymiernych rezultatów na dwóch polach badawczych: i) zapewnienie ekwiwalentów translacyjnych dla terminologii tekstów prawnych i ii) zapewnienie ekwiwalentów translacyjnych dla terminologii danej dziedziny prawa, której dotyczą porównywane akty normatywne.
