In some periods of development (transition from late childhood to adolescence and from early to late adolescence), apart from individual changes, an individual experiences additional developmental pressure connected with graduating from primary and starting a middle school which requires adaptation to the new educational and school friend environment and sometimes psychical processes and functioning restructuring. Due to that, the research model and the discussed changes occurring in that period may not only help to better understand the phenomenon of readiness for aggression, acting like and maintaining the role of a victim or a perpetrator of the aggressive behaviors, but also indicate other processes connected with the forming identity (volitional processes, satisfaction of own needs, activating reflexivity, etc.).

Introductory CommentsThe sixth issue (not just in the Thematic Section) is devoted to the borders of civilization in our memory, in culture, in art, in literature, in the arrangement of political objectives. Both their demarcation and their crossing is a matter of the objectives we can and want to set ourselves in the context of the order that exists and into which we try to fit, transforming it or levelling.The value of this survey of “images of borders” is its setting in such varied material, owing to which the theoretical speculations gain a representative illustration and, at the same time, a guarantee of being rooted, even if it is only a “contact zone”. WprowadzenieSzósty numer (nie tylko sekcja tematyczna) jest poświęcony kwestii granic cywilizacji w naszej pamięci, kulturze, sztuce, literaturze, w definiowaniu celów politycznych. Zarówno ich wyznaczanie, jak i przekraczanie, jest kwestią celów, jakie możemy i chcemy postawić sobie w kontekście istniejącego ładu, w który staramy się wpisać, przekształcając go lub dostosowując się do niego. Wartością niniejszego przeglądu "obrazów granic" jest przedstawienie ich poprzez tak zróżnicowany materiał, dzięki czemu rozważania teoretyczne zyskują reprezentatywną ilustrację, a zarazem gwarancję zakorzenienia, nawet jeśli będzie to tylko "sfera kontaktu".

Introduction to the Thematic SectionThe images of the borders of civilizations is the main topic of the thematic section of this issue of Colloquia Humanistica. In the call for papers it was emphasised, that this issue is particularly important, because the notion of civilization is strictly related to the issue of borders since it would became meaningless without the opposition to another civilization, or the lack of it. The juxtaposition between the notion of civilization and its different antinomies seems easier to display when seen from its centre, however the shape of its border is not always clear, even if it has a foundation in clear geographical or political divisions. Thus, this border can be represented as a linear frontier between a civilized state and barbaric lands, or as a borderland which encompasses some kind of fluent transition. The civilization border can be also represented in a macro scale, shaping geographic divisions of the continents (as it was in the case of the Balkans), but its depiction can also concern the micro scale, for example the difference between an urban and a natural landscape. The notion is even broader, because it is not only treated in the context of space but also social behaviours and their evolution (which is bound with notion of the progress since the Enlightenment). The question establishing the difference between the civilized and the uncivilized is still shaping the identity of modern societies, and thus it is worth attention. Wprowadzenie do sekcji tematycznejTematem przewodnim szóstego numeru rocznika Colloquia Humanistica są obrazy granic cywilizacji. Temat ten wydaje się niezwykle istotny, ponieważ pojęcie cywilizacji ściśle wiąże się z kategorią granicy, skoro traci ono znaczenie, gdy nie zachodzi opozycja wobec innej cywilizacji. Zestawienie pojęcia cywilizacji i jego różnych antynomii najłatwiej przejawia się, jak się wydaje, z perspektywy centrum, jednakże kształt jej granic nie zawsze rysuje się wyraźnie, nawet gdy wywodzi się ona z jasnych podziałów geograficznych czy politycznych. Granicę może zatem reprezentować linia między cywilizowanym państwem a krajami barbarzyńskimi lub też pogranicze, stanowiące coś w rodzaju płynnego przejścia. Granicę cywilizacji można też przedstawić w makroskali poprzez podziały geograficzne na kontynencie (jak ma to miejsce w przypadku Bałkanów), lecz jej obraz dotyka również mikroskali, na przykład różnicy między krajobrazem miejskim a naturalnym. Pojęcie to ma wręcz szerszy charakter, ponieważ porusza kontekst nie tylko przestrzenny, lecz również kwestię zachowań społecznych i ich ewolucję (od czasu oświecenia związaną z pojęciem postępu). Kwestia ustanowienia granicy między cywilizowanym a niecywilizowanym wciąż wpływa na kształt tożsamości współczesnych społeczeństw i dlatego warto podjąć się jej zbadania.

This article offers an overview of the longer-term migratory and demographic developments in eight South-East European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Slovakia). The main research question aims to analyse the different demographic historical developments and to examine whether convergent or divergent processes are dominant. Over the whole reference period, the population size in these eight South-East European countries (the SEEMIG region) grew from around 100 million people in 1950 to 122 million in 2011. This is surprising, as the public image of the region is linked to decline and backwardness and to being peripheral. However, major differences in the demographic developments of the countries can be observed. Some countries, including Austria, Italy and, with some fluctuations, Slovakia and Slovenia, experienced constant population growth during the entire reference period. All other countries were affected by a decrease in population, as was the case for Hungary in the early 1980s, Bulgaria at the beginning of the 1990s and Serbia and Romania since the start of the new millennium. The fertility trend shows a convergence while the mortality trends (including average life expectancy at birth) prove to be divergent. The net migration pattern seems to follow a migration cycle concept which postulates a general shift from emigration to immigration as a consequence of a declining natural increase on the one hand and a growing demand for new labour on the other. Some countries show trends that do not yet follow this pattern, which might indicate that additional factors and interpretative models should also be taken into account. The long-term distribution of growth and decline in the region is quite diverse and underlines the need for differentiation and specific explanations.

This paper presents the results of research carried out during the first stage of the Polish education system transition process initiated by the education reform of 2017. The study was conducted with teachers of schools to be dissolved, who decided to transform their institutions into a new type of school – general education secondary school (lyceum), while retaining staff and organizational resources of the hitherto middle schools (gymnasium). A processual approach adopted in this project allowed me to capture the changes as they were happening and the analysis of the conditions of transition trajectories.

This paper summarises the knowledge about transition from the third age to what is called the fourth age. The study understands ageing as an embodied process and explores the meanings that are attached to the body in the narratives of older persons who have acquired impairment in later life and are receiving care. Because the onset of impairment and infirmity marks a point of transition, the study considers the bodily aspects of the ageing process as key elements, despite this being highly problematic in current social gerontology. The authors call for a complex approach to understanding the meanings of the body in the transitions into old age and drawing on their own study based on three repeated interviews with ten older adults conducted over the course of one year (8 women, mean age = 83.8 years), they explore the meanings that are attached to the body in the context of receiving care. Their analysis of the personal accounts and narratives of everyday activities from the participants in their study revealed that embodiment in action is the main topic through which participants experienced their everydayness. The meanings of embodiment in action are shaped and reconstructed on three dimensions that capture important processes of embodiment in action: the sensing of the body (the Body as an Organiser of Activities), anticipation of the body (the Body as an Uncertain Companion), and the managing of the body (the Body as Work to Be Done). The findings offer insights into the processes of transitions in old age, in which the emotional, social, and behavioural aspects of embodiment in action, rather than age, play the key role. The study further highlights that the meanings of the body are complex, highly relevant, and should not be overlooked within the organisational practice of social and health care.

This multimodal conversation analytic study explores how participants transition from one item to another in paired speaking tasks based on lists. These transitions are crucial for achieving progress in the task. Based on video recordings from English as a foreign language (EFL) classes, the analysis shows that the way participants achieve transitions depends on the embodied participation framework. Within a co-operative participation framework, participants transitioned to the next item using sequences of (1) closings, (2) verbal expressions of transition, and (3) new item initiations. It is shown that the list of items plays a crucial role as participants start gazing at it already during the closings, thus flagging the relevance of an upcoming transition. In such cases, verbal expressions of transitions were not always present. Less commonly, participants remained focused on the lists, produced minimal responses and moved on to new items after question-answer sequences. The study sheds light on how transitions are achieved in institutional settings where participants’ roles are symmetric and where the talk is based on lists, which, in turn, serve as resources to maintain the progressivity of the interactional project.

Circular economy (CE), the new ‘buzzword’ in urban and regional studies and policy debates, is about shifting from a linear production process towards a circular one in which the generation of waste is minimised, materials circulate in ‘closed loops’, and waste is not considered a burden but rather a resource that brings new economic opportunities. However, while there is a consensus on the need to facilitate a transition towards a circular economy, the governing of this endeavour remains extremely challenging because making a circular economy work requires cutting across sectoral, scalar, and administrative boundaries. Drawing on the sustainability transitions literature and the case of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, arguably one of the frontrunners on the strive towards a circular built environment and economy, the paper seeks to identify and understand barriers for CE transition at a regional scale. The findings underscore the multi-faceted nature of the challenge and offer lessons for the governance of emerging regional circular spatial-economic policies.

Zmiany zachodzące w otaczającej rzeczywistości implikują zmiany w sposobach jej opisywania i interpretowania. Także współczesna refleksja poradoznawcza zmierza w kierunku redefiniowania kluczowych kategorii, używanych do opisywania zjawisk w poradnictwie. Jednym z ważniejszych pojęć, pojawiających się w analizach z zakresu poradnictwa zawodowego w ostatnich latach – jest tranzycja. W zależności od perspektywy teoretycznej tranzycje są ujmowane jako: okresy przejściowe z jednego etapu rozwoju na kolejny, jako zmiany spowodowane przez nagłe, przypadkowe zdarzenie, jako przekształcenie kontekstu (lub kontekstów) lub jako procesy wypracowywania zmiany. Niezależnie jednak od przyjętego podejścia tranzycje stają się jedną w wielu kategorii biograficznych, co pociąga za sobą konsekwencje w postaci przekształcania praktyki doradczej, nabycia nowych kompetencji doradców i zastosowania innych strategii działania. Współcześni doradcy mają za zadanie wspieranie w opracowywaniu planów kariery projektów dotyczących kolejnych zadań, tworzeniu podmiotowości, konstruowaniu wielu scenariuszy życia oraz w stawianiu czoła tranzycjom.

Changes happening in the surrounding reality imply changes in how the reality is described and interpreted. Present thoughts on counselling studies aim at redefining key categories, which are used to describe the phenomena in counselling. In recent years transition has been an important term that has been appearing in vocational counselling analysis. Depending on the theoretical perspective transitions are defined as: the passage from one stage of human development to the next; as changes caused by sudden accidental event; as a transformation of context or as processes in working out the change. Regardless of the approach taken, transitions are becoming one of many biographical categories, which results in consequences such as transforming counselling practice, acquiring new counsellor competences and applying different action strategies. Contemporary counsellors have the task of supporting people working out career plans, supporting projects concerning new tasks, supporting forming an identity, supporting facing transitions and constructing alternative life scripts.

Public health thinking requires an overhaul, a return to and modernization around ecological principles. Ecological Public Health thinking, outlined by Tim Lang and Geof Rayner, fits the twenty-first century’s challenges. It integrates what the authors call the four dimensions of existence: the material, biological, social and cultural aspects of life. Public health becomes the task of transforming the relationship between people, their circumstances and the biological world of nature and bodies. These transitions are Demographic, Epidemiological, Urban, Energy, Economic, Nutrition, Biological, Cultural and Democracy itself. By analyzing the theory and practice of public health last two or three centuries, the authors showed an evolution in thinking about public health. The term ‘ecological public health’ characterizes times in which everything is important, when it comes to health and well-being. The challenge for policy makers is one of navigating this complexity to deliver better health and greater equality in health.

W niniejszym artykule autorzy prezentują pewną część badań prowadzonych w ramach europejskiego projektu badawczego EMPLOY – Enhancing the employability of non-traditional students in HE (Wzmacnianie zatrudnialności studentów nietradycyjnych). Projekt promuje wzmacnianie zatrudnialności (employability) studentów nietradycyjnych przez poprawę skuteczności przechodzenia (tranzycji) ze świata uczelni wyższej na rynek pracy. W artykule zostały przedstawione wyniki cząstkowe badań narracyjnych z uwzględnieniem perspektywy nietradycyjnych studentów hiszpańskich i polskich, zapre-zentowanej w ujęciu komparatystycznym. Autorzy, w interpretacjach uzyskanych wyników badań, wykorzystali głównie koncepcje tranzycji w uczeniu się przez całe życie. W tranzycje zarówno hiszpańskich, jak i polskich studentów nietradycyjnych wpisane są próby pragmatycznego oceniania możliwości i zasobów środowiska w aspekcie przyszłej pracy zawodowej. Są one pewnym wypracowanym schematem działań i indywidualnych ścieżek zgodnie z systemem oczekiwań o charakterze normatywnym. Wyniki badań wskazują, że tranzycje to nie tylko przemieszczanie się pomiędzy różnymi kontekstami instytucjonalnymi i środowiskami uczenia się, ale w dużej mierze jest to ‘stawanie się’ (kimś), a zatem czynniki jednostkowe i sprawstwo mają tu równie duże znaczenie, co zewnętrzne struktury społeczne.

The authors of this article present a part of the study done under the project research EMPLOY which advocates fostering employability of non-traditional students through improving the effectiveness of transition from university to labor market. The article presents partial findings of narrative surveys taking into account the perspective of non-traditional Spanish and Polish students in a comparative manner. The authors while interpreting the findings used mainly the concept of transition in lifelong learning. In the transition of both Spanish and Polish non-traditional students one can identify the attempts to assess pragmatically opportunities and resources of the environment with regard to future employment. These are a certain modus operandi and individual paths based on the expectation system of normative nature. The findings indicate that transitions do not exclusively refer to relocation between dif-ferent institutional contexts and learning environments but largely they mean ‘becoming’ (someone), therefore individual factors and perpetration play as important role as external social structures.

The European Union (EU) has responded differently to the authoritarian regimes in Cuba and Venezuela - political dialogue and cooperation in the first case, selective sanctions and diplomatic break in the second. The article explores the reasons behind these different policies that contrast with the same goal - the promotion of democracy and human rights. One possible explanation are reverse transitions - Cuba started an opening process that the EU supports, whereas Venezuela initiated a path from populism to authoritarianism, sanctioned by Brussels. An additional reason could be the difference between a protective state in Cuba and state fragility in Venezuela.

Frente a los regímenes autoritarios de Cuba y Venezuela, la Unión Europea (UE) ha dado respuestas distintas: diálogo político y cooperación en el primer caso, sanciones selectivas y ruptura diplomática en el segundo. El artículo indaga a qué se deben estas diferencias, a pesar de servir al mismo objetivo: promover la democracia y los derechos humanos. Una posible explicación serían las transiciones inversas: Cuba ha iniciado un proceso de apertura que la UE incentiva, mientras que Venezuela ha transitado del populismo a un autoritarismo que Bruselas castiga. Otra razón serían las diferencias entre un Estado protector en Cuba y fragilidad estatal en Venezuela.

Associativism is a driver of agrarian modernization, crucial in the analysis of social change processes in rural communities. This article provides ethnographic evidence about types and practices of associativism in communities dedicated to coffee cultivation, in the Colombian Andes. It seeks contribute to academic discussions regarding the reformulation of development in Latin America. The field work considered the daily life of an agricultural association in the municipality of La Celia (Risaralda, Colombia), with the objective of analyzing the supposed associative weakness in Andean communities. The results show how situations of coffee economic crisis tend to motivate the sudden updating of local associative forms, under the protection of transnational organizations, who end up installing new productive dilemmas within communities. This phenomenon affects domestic sociabilities, which support local associativism. It also influences social trust and future associative aptitude.
