'While thinking about the space of Warsaw and the heritage of socialist realism - including the non-extant 10th-Anniversary Stadium and the soon to be demolished fountains in the Edward Szymanski Park in the Wola district - I simply cannot evade a particularly evocative phantom. I have in mind a vision of Hotel Palenque on the Yucatán Peninsula. A place that became famous (probably only virtually: has anyone actually seen Hotel Palenque?) thanks to Robert Smithson'. The presented text is an attempt at looking at modernistic architecture via the context of its disintegration - the processes of destruction and entropy. This motif seems to play an essential part in contemporary art: it emerges both in the works of the classics (Smithson, Gordon Mata-Clark) and the young artists (Cyprien Gaillard). The point of departure for these reflections is the local example of a 'socialist realistic-modernistic' park in Warsaw, once extremely 'modern' and today - decaying and sentenced to modernisation (tantamount to recomplete redesigning).

The aim of this paper is to provide the analysis of the concept of paradigm and its meaning to management studies. The author uses the current situation in management studies as a starting point for discussing: the notion of paradigm and highlight its two types prominent in Kuhn's theory; the structure of disciplinary matrix - the paradigm in a broad sense, plus the paradigm in a more special meaning (exemplar); Kuhn's concept of scientific communities and development of science. Some recommendations about the future development of management studies are made.

Meanwhile European studies and other social sciences focused enormously on the topic of integration, scientists paid little or no attention to elaborate general models, to explain and to bridge the well known and various forms of disintegration. In the ambiance of the failed states spread all over the globe, economic globalization, and welfare nationalism are the hallmarks of a fragmented era. After the post-cold war optimism faded away for a 'new world order', fragmentation became the great narrative of social sciences and the media. The second main purpose of the paper is to reduce the several fragmentation theories to the best manageable few models. As a result the author found that the several articles written on the topic belong to one of four models, based on social change, homeostatic equilibrium, human will, or resource management. He thinks the usefulness of model formation exceeds the benefits of scientific systematization. It will surely contribute to the future dialogue of these many theories of a nascent literature. Discontented with the apparent incommensurability of the four basic models, the main purpose was to find a single theory which is able to bridge the gap between short and long term forms and event-based or macro sociological perspectives of fragmentation. At the moment he found that it is the structuration theory and constructivism that offer the best way for such a synthesis. The principal message of his paper is that the new meaning of fragmentation, aiming at social change, or even emancipation, goes far beyond the traditional interpretations which portrayed this issue derogatory as an irreversible organic decomposition, chaos, retrogression.
