English humour is religiously involved in the creation of the English identity drawing on the nation’s memory, history as well as culture. A great deal of it is devoted to the preservation of a certain self-portrait on the part of the English in that their identity is glorified, demonstrated in a positive light, with the English invariably playing a noble role against the backdrop of historical events, frequently standing alone in the presence of traumatic and unpredictable changes. This article aims to examine English comedy from a cognitive linguistic perspective to demonstrate how the English identity is formulated and (re)shaped, and how the concept of the English self is proudly created in relation to the national identity via the cultural memories and English humour.

Recenzja jest poświęcona analizie pracy Amitava Achary’ego i Barry’ego Buzana, The Making of Global International Relations. Origins and Evolution of IR at its Centenary (Cambridge and New York, Cambridge University Press, 2019, ss. 383). Strukturalnie praca składa się ze wstępu i dziesięciu części. Znani zachodni teoretycy stosunków międzynarodowych przedstawili swoją wizję ewolucji westfalskiego porządku światowego w XX w., ujawnili powody i charakter jego przejścia po 1989 r. do postwestfalskich stosunków międzynarodowych oraz uzasadnili przyczyny, zasady oraz skutki powstania i rozwoju wiedzy o stosunkach międzynarodowych. Na podstawie badań i przemyślenia krytycznego teorii i praktyki stosunków międzynarodowych XX – początku XXI wieku (do 2017/2018) wyróżnili oni kilka znaczących bloków. Takie zgrupowanie pozwala skonstatować modernizację modelu westfalskich stosunków międzynarodowych oraz tworzenie i rozwój nauki o stosunkach międzynarodowych w centrum i na peryferii pod wpływem szeregu znaczących wydarzeń. Przede wszystkim mowa o wpływie dwóch wojen światowych, konfrontacji dwubiegunowej oraz procesu dekolonizacji na ewolucję westfalskiego systemu międzynarodowego. Genezie dyscypliny stosunków międzynarodowych po zakończeniu I wojny światowej towarzyszyło aktywne rozszerzenie jej instytucjonalizacji, pola tematycznego, a także włączenie peryferii w tę przestrzeń. Radykalne zmiany świata i stosunków międzynarodowych po 1989 r. doprowadziły do globalizacji stosunków międzynarodowych i ostatecznego ukształtowania postwestfalskiego porządku światowego. Analiza koncepcyjna ewolucji stosunków międzynarodowych w XX-XXI w. na podstawie fundamentalnych badań zachodnich naukowców i również teoretyków spoza jądra zachodniego pozwala nam określić ich zasadnicze zmiany pod wpływem dwóch wojen światowych, globalizacji, dekolonizacji i zmian w stosunku sił między centrum i peryferiami.

The review is devoted to the analysis of scientific work of Amitav Acharya and Barry Buzan, The Making of Global International Relations. Origins and Evolution of IR at its Centenary (Cambridge and New York, Cambridge University Press, 2019, 383 p.). Structurally, the work consists of an introduction and ten sections. Well-known Western theorists of international relations gave their vision of the evolution of the Westphalian world order during the twentieth century. They also revealed the reasons and nature of the transition of the world order to Post-Westphalian international relations after 1989 and substantiated the causes, principles and effects of the emergence and development of knowledge about International Relations. Based on the study and critical rethinking of the theory and practice of international relations of the XX – early XXI century (until 2017/2018) the authors singled out several meaningful blocks. This grouping allowed us to state the modernization of the Westphalian model of international relations and the formation and development of the science of International Relations in the Сenter and in the Periphery under the influence of a number of fateful events. First of all, we are talking about the impact of the two world wars, bipolar confrontation and the process of decolonization on the evolution of the Westphalian international system. The genesis of the discipline of International Relations after the end of the First World War was accompanied by the active expansion of its institutionalization, subject field and the inclusion of the periphery in this space. Radical changes in the world and international relations after 1989 led to the globalization of international relations and the final formation of the Post-Westphalian world order. The conceptual analysis of the evolution of international relations during the XX–XXI centuries on the basis of fundamental research by Western scientists and also theorists from outside the Western core allows us to state their essential changes under the influence of two world wars, globalization, decolonization and changes in the ratio of forces between the Сenter and the Periphery.

issue 6 "The Holocaust and the Contemporary World"

EN

The author poses two questions: Is there anything new that the two World Wars and the Holocaust introduce to the methodology of history or rather to the self-consciousness of history as a scientific discipline? What do these events change in the way we perceive the importance and function of historiography in culture? The article consists of introductory remarks, main text and conclusions. Key considerations are divided into six parts: 1. The First World War and the Turn to Memory, 2. World War Two and the Question about Theory of History, 3. Political Context, 4. The Ethical Turn, 5. Auschwitz, History, and the Power of Judgment, 6. The Hilberg Case. A reconstruction of the methodological consciousness of history is carried out on the basis of the research categories and attitudes proposed by such authors as Habermas, Ricoeur, Jaspers, and Bourdieu. Using some of these ideas, it culminates in the interpretation of Hilberg’s theory of historiography. The ideas are, among other things, the following: critical theory, ethical turn, power of judgment, non-dualistic epistemology and ontology.
