In general reflection, the following can be stated: (1) Borderlands are the geographical and cultural reality that reveals itself along with the expanding of geographic horizons, also known as geographical discoveries; (2) In the process of evolutionary changes borderlines are considered in terms of stereotypes: economic backwardness, political conservatism, cultural remoteness; (3) Borderlands as border points of the state are a product of culture, which is shaped at the basis of cultural clashes, interactions and neighbourhood. Borderlands are creations of multiculturalism; (4) In the borderland areas unique personalities are created. These personalities are characterized by a high capacity to adapt to the new civilizational realities. They submit the spiritual values over the economic goods. They attach great importance to the traditional values of cultural life; (5) Borderlands often reveal specific civilizational hybrids. On borderlands opposing processes and phenomena are combined. The dichotomy of internal and external functioning is characteristic for the image of borderlands; the inside and outside concepts of particular borderland reality are both completely different.

In this study I intend to prove that there is a close connection between ethical purposes of Environmental Philosophy as World Philosophy and the idea of sacred nature as part of the “world” in a phenomenological sense, which includes sacred space as defined in the philosophy of religion. The main points that intersect here are: the idea of sacred space; the perception of virtue in a sacred world; the beauty of creation: nature, life, human sensibility. The theoretical background of this study contains points of view that express phenomenological, hermeneutic, theological, and aesthetic conceptions belonging to authors and exegetes such as Mircea Eliade, William E. Paden, David Cave, Ion Ianoși, Douglas Allen, Arnold Berleant, and Vincent Blok. I believe that the neglect of the environment-as-a-condition-of-life (the consequences of which can already be seen in ecological imbalances) is caused by, among other factors, the desacralization of human attitudes towards nature and the world of life. Few people still have a feeling of sacred nature or the aesthetic emotion of perceiving beauty in natural forms. The relationship with the environment and nature is reduced to its exploitation as a source of economic profit or as a way for spending free time, a source of personal comfort devoid of any spiritual significance. Surely we cannot go back to archaic religions or medieval Christianity, but we can reintegrate into our moral values something of those cultures’ admiration and respect for the beauty/sublimity of nature and the world as expressions of divine creation, as something sacred. Philosophical debates related to this retrieval and their dissemination could be part of solving the ecological problems of the contemporary world.

The essay is an attempt to consider the relation between center and margins. The author refers to the strategy of re-treating proposed by Tadeusz Sławek and to the gesture of closing eyes. Raised by Wolfgang Welsch concept of a "culture of the blind spot" is also very important - it shows how processes of centralization and marginalization works. The author refers to the ideas of Marquis de Sade, Giorgio Agamben, Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, and Karen Barad in order to analyse two characters who become conceptual personas - the homeless and the refugee. According to them, it becomes clear, that the relation between center and margins is an apparatus. The author points out, that such a relation doesn't really exist, and suggests that we rather should reconsider the world in categories of community and intra-actions.

Decentralization processes are increasingly becoming the driving force of changes in the modern world, and how regional elites use their advantages and minimize their disadvantages depends on whether they will turn out to be a boon or a factor of social destruction. It is extremely important in modern conditions that the social and humanitarian sciences contribute to the conceptualization of system-dynamic interdisciplinary knowledge, the scope of which will cover not only the hierarchy of centers and peripheries within a single country, but also the space «above» state borders, which is amenable to regulation. The article is devoted to highlighting modern methodological approaches to reviewing the concepts of center-periphery relations and developing a new model of regionalism, which is based on the recognition of the freedom of pluralism and the intransitive importance of the ideas of multiculturalism. In this context, all cognitive strategies built on the advantages of the ideas of centralization, and first of all on the traditional model of center-periphery relations and modernization, undergo correction. It has been proven that the postmodern situation in which modern society is located is the least reminiscent of a domineering vertical, built according to the usual canons of center-periphery. Rather, it is associated with a heterogeneous horizon that can be modified in a wide variety of configurations. Reviewing the concepts, models and structure of established center-periphery relations contributes to rethinking the mechanisms and scope of influence of political, economic and cultural centers on the course of social development of spatial structures in the context of new challenges. Built on this foundation, the theory of center-periphery polarity is seen as an innovative operational tool in the entire system of natural and social sciences, which to one degree or another are engaged in the analysis of spatial relations

Benjamin Netanyahu’s Long Premiership and the Rise of the New Political Center: Is there a Qualitative Change in the Israeli Party System?

Israel’s party system has been characterized by the bipolar rivalry between the left-wing and right-wing blocks since the late 1970s. In recent years we could have seen at least two trends that seem to diverge from this model. For the last 9 years, the Likud party has formed three successive governments which have made Benjamin Netanyahu the longest continuously serving prime minister in the history of Israel. Another new occurrence is the preservation of a significant representation of the centre parties for four Knesset terms in the row. The aim of the paper is to verify whether Israel’s party system has departed from the two-blocs bipolar model. Based on the empirical data (election results, government formation, party’s political platforms) it examines whether the parties’ rivalry in the years 2009–2018 differed qualitatively from the previous period. To answer this question the paper investigates three hypotheses. First – Likud has become a dominant party in Israel. Second – a dominant and stable Israeli right-wing parties’ bloc has formed. Third – an enduring and relevant centre sector has emerged in Israel’s party system.

The concept of the center and the periphery concerns the description of a selected fragment of the surrounding reality using the model of asymmetric spatial relations occurring in various spheres of life: social, economic, political, military, cultural and other – characterizing the dependence of peripheral areas on the dominant center. Bukovina undoubtedly meets the criteria of the center in terms of the concentration of the social and cultural life of the Polish minority in Romania. Another attribute of the „Polish” Bukovina as a future center is the development in the region of a diversified, including highly specialized, service infrastructure, mainly of a tourist and hotel nature. Finally, Bukovina is a place where a part of Polish cultural heritage is concentrated. On the other hand, Bukovina is a periphery, mainly in terms of geography, politics and administration. However, the borderland of this region results in specific features of the local Polish minority, characteristic of this type of community.

Koncepcja centrum i peryferii dotyczy opisu wybranego fragmentu otaczającej rzeczywistości za pomocą modelu asymetrycznych stosunków przestrzennych zachodzących w różnych sferach życia: społecznej, gospodarczej, politycznej, militarnej, kulturowej i innych – charakteryzujących zależność obszarów peryferyjnych od dominującego centrum. Bukowina bez wątpienia spełnia kryteria centrum w kwestii koncentracji życia społeczno-kulturowego mniejszości polskiej w Rumunii. Kolejny atrybut „polskiej” Bukowiny jako przyszłego centrum to rozwój na terenie regionu zróżnicowanej, w tym wysoce specjalistycznej, infrastruktury usługowej, głównie o charakterze turystyczno-hotelarskim. Jest wreszcie Bukowina miejscem koncentracji części polskiego dziedzictwa kulturowego. Z drugiej strony Bukowina to peryferie, głównie w ujęciu geograficzno-politycznym i administracyjnym. Jednak kresowość tego regionu skutkuje szczególnymi cechami miejscowej mniejszości polskiej, charakterystycznymi dla tego typu społeczności.

W przestrzeni debaty publicznej można zaobserwować występowanie antynomicznych postaw dotyczących ochrony środowiska naturalnego. Jedna z nich jest charakterystyczna dla nurtu określanego umownie jako lewicowy, a druga – dla prawicowego. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie treści i źródeł tych postaw oraz podjęcie próby wyjaśnienia istniejącego na tym gruncie konfliktu politycznego w odniesieniu do psychologicznej teorii wartości Shaloma H. Schwartza.

In the political sphere, two antinomous attitudes towards the nature are permanently present. The first one is characteristic of the left-wing and the second one of the right-wing. The article explains the content and source of these attitudes by referring to Shalom H. Schwartz's psychological value theory (SVT) and the circular meta-value model created on the basis of its adaptation.

Taking into account the division into centers and peripheries was an important component of modern artistic consciousness. Given the development of global culture in the second half of the twentieth century, one might think that this division has become outdated. Such a view, however, is overly simplistic. First of all, there are many models of globalization (imperial, network, reception, institutional). Each of them takes into account the tension between the center and the periphery and the desire to change their mutual relations. In my article, I will briefly characterize individual models of globalization, and then move on to discuss the work of Mirosław Bałka and Zbigniew Libera. These artists make the complexity of the contemporary relationship between the central (associated with the pursuit of generality) and the local the subject of their creative reflection. Bałka transforms the provincial into a component of the global culture, while Libera focuses on the implicit meanings of the products of the global culture. The discussed examples show that the boundaries between the center and the periphery in contemporary art have become complicated. The most important thing is not to keep up with what is happening in the center, but to observe how artists creatively and individually combine global with local elements.
PL
Uwzględnianie podziału na centra i peryferie stanowiło istotny składnik nowożytnej i nowo-czesnej świadomości artystycznej. Biorąc pod uwagę rozwijającą się w drugiej połowie XX wieku kulturę globalną, można by sądzić, że podział ten dezaktualizuje się. Pogląd taki jest jednak nadmiernie uproszczony. Przede wszystkim istnieje wiele modeli globalizacji (impe-rialny, sieciowy, recepcji, instytucjonalny). W każdym z nich brane jest pod uwagę napięcie między centrum i peryferiami oraz dążenie do zmiany relacji między nimi. W artykule krótko charakteryzuję poszczególne modele globalizacji, a następnie przechodzę do omówienia twórczości Mirosława Bałki i Zbigniewa Libery. Artyści ci czynią przedmiotem twórczej re-fleksji złożoność współczesnych relacji między lokalnym i centralnym (związanym z dąże-niem do ogólności). Bałka dokonuje przekształcania tego, co prowincjonalne w składnik kul-tury światowej, natomiast Libera koncentruje się na niejawnych znaczeniach wytworów kultury globalnej. Omówione przykłady pokazują, że granice między centrum a peryferiami w sztuce współczesnej komplikują się. Najistotniejsze bowiem nie jest nadążanie za tym, co dzieje się w centrum, a to, na ile twórczo i indywidualnie artysta łączy elementy globalne z tym, co lokalne.
