Portuguese art history experienced remarkable development after World War II, especially with the work of José-Augusto França, who was responsible for establishing a historiographic canon for nineteenth- and twentieth-century Portuguese art that still endures. José-Augusto França developed a narrative that held Paris up as an artistic and cultural role model in relation to which he diagnosed a permanent delay in Portuguese art. This essay analyses França’s idea of belatedness in the context of Portuguese art historiography and political history and how it is part of a genealogy of intellectual thought produced in an imperial context, revisiting previous art historians and important authors, such as Antero de Quental and António Sérgio. Moreover, it aims to address how the concept of belatedness was associated with the idea of “civilisation” and the idea of “art as civilisation.” Belatedness also has implications in the constraints and specificities of writing a master narrative in a peripheral country – a need particularly felt in the second half of the twentieth century, to mark a political standpoint against the dictatorship that ruled from 1926 to 1974. Part of the reaction to fascism expressed the desire to follow other nations’ democratic example, but the self-deprecating judgements on Portuguese art were frequently associated with the identification of essentialist motifs – the “nature” of the Portuguese people, their way of thinking, of living, their lack of capacities or skills – and of a self-image of being “primitive” in comparison with other European countries that has antecedents going back to the eighteenth century. I will address the nostalgia for the empire and the prevailing notion of belatedness throughout the twentieth century regarding unsolved issues with that nostalgia.

This paper considers the extent to which we already live in a cosmopolitan era. Resurgent nationalism is explained as a reactionary response to the success of cosmopolitanization. Cosmopolitanization is further explained as a dialectical process. Contemporary cosmopolitanism emerges against the backdrop of Eurocentric globalization associated with the colonial era. While the Eurocentric legacy must be rejected, it has left us with a cosmopolitan world. Other dialectical processes emerge in consideration of the importance of local and multicultural issues. Cosmopolitanization is a process that must work to connect global processes with local concerns. The paper situates this argument in consideration of events in Peru, in connection with the rise of Donald Trump in the United States, and in relation to several examples of the cosmopolitan dialectic. Despite some dialectical setbacks, the paper concludes that we are already operating in a world in which globally diverse ideas and practices are already in dialogue. The challenge is to continue the cosmpolitanizing conversation, while remaining responsive to the needs of local communities.

The paper focuses on the Latin American perspective on modernity, especially on the Peruvian sociologist Anibal Quijano's notion of coloniality. Coloniality is explained as a theoret- ical framework for critical reflection of modernity with an emphasis on the forms of knowledge (episteme) and on non-Western, more specifically Latin American historical experiences and perspectives. The aim is to introduce some Latin American efforts to critically understand coloniality as the other face of modernity and to develop a distinctive critique of capitalism, globalisation and Eurocentrism in their historical dynamics, In the first part, the paper briefly introduces Latin America as a geocultural place and a object of social research in a historical perspective. Special attention is paid to the question of racial classification and authenticity. In the second part, the paper focuses on the notion of coloniality as it was conceptualised by A. Quijano and by other Latin American authors. In the third and fourth parts, the paper deals with the problem of coloniality in wider epistemic contexts of modern social sciences and in relation to the notion of alterity and to the question of decolonisation of social scientific thinking. The final discussion addresses some of inspirational and problematic points of this conception such as problems of decolonisation, intellectual dependency and critique, and the problem of conceptualisation of differences in scientific discourses.

The present paper aims to investigate the way in which Africa is perceived by Danish speakers in light of the most petrified linguistic expressions and corpus data. As it turns out, the received picture is largely negative, with elements such as POVERTY, DISEASES, LACK OF DEMOCRACY, WARS and ETHNIC CLASHES in its foreground. Moreover, in the majority of the analyzed contexts Africa is presented as a cluster of similar countries facing the same challenges, with little room for the awareness of the great cultural diversity that flourishes on the continent. In this context, it is also worth adding that the analyzed collocations also convey a closely related stereotype of the inhabitants of Africa, regarded primarily through the prism of the color of their skin and the suffering they must endure on their continent. It is no surprise, then, that Africa and African people are quite often perceived as a problem for the western world, especially because of the highly-feared waves of immigrants and asylum seekers that occur regularly on the continent. On the other hand, at least in the light of the analyzed material, there seems to be no to little realization of the fact that many of the problems of Africa stem from the ages of draining its human and natural resources by the colonial powers. As argued by the author of the present article, such a picture of Africa is not only unfair but may have other consequences as well, possibly predetermining how Danes willview single issues such as immigration or military invasions, and letting them fall into the spiral of eurocentric and patronizing understanding of the world.

The article shows the diffi cult problem of how to renew the dialogue between the Catholic Church, present in Bolivia since the sixteenth century and the populistregime of Evo Morales, nowadays expelled by the Bolivian opposition from his own country. The painful division of the Bolivian society into several distinctly separate groups is a huge missionary challenge for the Catholic Church in Bolivia. Catholicism cannot look indiff erently at the many social experiments conducted in the area of this very poor Andean country. What is required, is a radical change of the spiritual formation, which will lead effi ciently to a renewed reception of the Gospel in the free heart of the Bolivian nation.

The alternative conceptions of postmodernism developing by Latin-American philosophers – transmodernity by Enrique Dussel and decolonization by Walter Mignolo and Rolando Vázquez who criticize eurocentrism are analyzed in the arcticle. Another point raised in the article is the analysis of a colonial character of the cultural utopian view of Johann Herder who constructed Ukraine as an European Other. The article shows the necessity of the inclusion of Ukraine into the dialogue of alternative postcolonial practices spread horizontally, on peripheries, from Latin America to Eastern Europe.

W artykule poddaje się analizie alternatywne koncepcje postmodernizmu opracowane przez filozofów latynoamerykańskich – transnowoczesności Enrique Dussela i dekolonizacji Waltera Mignolo oraz Rolando Vázqueza, które zostały oparte na krytyce europocentryzmu. Kolejnym aspektem tekstu jest analiza kolonialnego charakteru kulturologicznej koncepcji Johanna Herdera, w której Ukraina została skonstruowana jako europejski „Inny”. W artykule stwierdza się konieczność włączenia Ukrainy do dialogu alternatywnych praktyk postkolonialnych, które rozpościerają się horyzontalnie, na peryferii, od Ameryki Łacińskiej do Europy Wschodniej.

The subject of the article is the analysis of multicultural issues as a challenge for contem-porary pedagogics. This analysis concerns the practical, philosophical and social aspects as well as educational and preventive aspects of multiculturalism. The inspiration to take up the topic was the growing problems related to it, and above all, still registered by sociologists, act of treating "other" as "foreign" by a large percentage of students. In this context, an important pedagogical task is to reject the ideological understanding of mul-ticulturalism and to encourage respecting Polish tradition and culture, and on the other hand to counteract the aggression caused by unhealthy reactions to multiculturalism.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza problematyki wielokulturowości, jako wyzwania dla współczesnych działań pedagogicznych. Analiza ta dotyczy aspektów: praktycznych, filo-zoficzno-społecznych i wychowawczo-profilaktycznych multikulturalizmu. Inspiracją do podjęcia tematyki stało się narastanie problemów z nią związanych, przede wszystkim zaś wciąż rejestrowane przez socjologów traktowanie przez spory procent uczniów „innego”, jako „obcego”. W tym kontekście istotnym zadaniem pedagogicznym staje się z jednej strony odejście od ideologicznego rozumienia multikulturalizmu i wdrażanie do szacunku wobec fundamentów polskiej tradycji i kultury, z drugiej

The philosophical problem of the plurality of cultures is coeval with philosophy itself. There are three groups of answers to the basic questions: how many cultures are there, and why? The first one includes all the philosophical conceptions – let us call them “uniculturalist” – that hold that only one culture exists actually, or at least potentially, namely: the universally human one. The opposite conceptions – let us call them “pluriculturalist” – regard the plurality of cultures as a fundamentally important and insurmountable feature: plurality of values then follows from their monadic nature. All the intermediate conceptions that can be located between these extremes form the third group. The paper first presents these three groups in more general terms and then, for the sake of a more detailed presentation, follows it up with a discussion of the problem of the plurality of cultures in the conceptions of Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler and Roman Ingarden. However different these three phenomenologists’ ways of approaching this issue might appear, they certainly have at least this in common: they offer their respective solutions against the background of the results of their axiological investigations. The final part of the paper deals with some selected motifs of the contemporary debate concerning the differentiation of cultures. One of them is the impressive frequency of making new uses of Husserl’s concept of the Lebenswelt, especially by Asian and African authors. Another motif: apart from the axiological choices of cultures, other “philosophical determinations” (Levinas’ term), such as the accepted concept of time, are analyzed as important factors making cultures different and numerous. In this context, Ingarden’s works on cultures and the different ways of experiencing time appear ever more interesting.
