The article considers relations between economy and culture focusing on the concept of cultural capital. I discuss different uses of the notion of capital as an analytical category in the discourse of social sciences. Then, I analyze Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital in the context of its specific interplay with Marx’s heritage. The main thesis of this text is the claim that both of them used capital in extra-economical meaning and cultural capital in Bourdieu’s theory is nothing more (and nothing less) then symbolic capital. Moreover, the argumentation shows that a basic Marxist dichotomy between economic and cultural causes (base/superstructure) becomes nowadays irrelevant.

Sexual orientation is currently understood to be an innate disposition. Heterosexually oriented people are perceived to be in the majority and homosexually oriented people as the minority. Using Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of symbolic power, symbolic violence and symbolic capital, this paper aims to show how symbolic power and symbolic violence contribute to determining which sexual orientation is associated with the majority and minority populations, and establish what role is played by the symbolic capital derived from sexual orientation.

The article describes how exceptional athletes become sports stars. Unlike most sociological papers, its target is the locally situated sporting subculture, only partly professionalised and medialised, examined in the example of a top-level swimming club in Brno. It draws on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of symbolic capital to present a case study of a specific sporting sub-culture based on qualitative methods, most notably in-depth interviews, unobtrusive observation, and document analysis. The sports star is here envisioned as the product of an accumulation of the sporting capital of members of a sporting club, the basic factors of which are the various types of capital the swimmers possess (social, cultural, physical, or material) and, especially, the degree to which the particular types of capital are accepted and acknowledged by other members of the swimming club. Two types of swimming star are identified. The authentic star is a successful athlete who respects the values and norms of the top-level club. By contrast, the inauthentic star ignores some of the values or disrupts the relative autonomy of the swimming sport by becoming overly involved with the mass media. The swimmers’ relationship with the media emerges as crucial; how much they object to or benefit from the influence of the media defines the authenticity of the swimmers’ status in the swimming club.

Along with the aging of the Polish society the interest of various disciplines in the elderly people life quality is growing. Researchers have different perceptions about quality of life. They define the concept of quality of life both subjectively, as an evaluation standard of life, and objectively, as a sum of various forms of the capital that have seniors at their disposal. In this article the author attempts to present the issue of the quality of life of seniors in the context of social and symbolic capital of older people. The considerations are supplemented with two empirical illustrations.

Th e purpose of the article is to show comparatistics as a promising perspective of current humanistic research, especially in area of extending possibilities of analysis and interpretation. In times of profesionalization and specialization of knowledge, comparative research are rarely undertaken and for that reason, it makes a cognitively and interpretatively interesting situation. Th e case analysis applies to using comparative method on the ground of history of historiography (A. Kożuchowski) and literary studies (D. Zawadzka).

Media, as the name suggests, mediate social communication and oftentimes also play a leading role in constructing it by manipulation (Nierenberg, 2011). Pierre Bourdieu (1998) points out that intellectuals have a moral obligation to react to media manipulation, by offering themes and ideas enriching discourses and helping to make symbolic capital (Bourdieu, 1986) socially wider accessible. In this text we show how the media discourse currently dominating in Poland creates an image of the public sector. We claim that such an image may ignite a destructive conflict, provoking a number of managerial dysfunctions. Instead of cultivating such an image we propose an approach more oriented towards diversity, which may promote constructive conflicts, which are creative, and also support humanistic functions of management and makes the symbolic capital of the ethos of public service more easily socially available.

This article presents the most important aims and conduction of the “Patriotic Studies” project, carried by us. Research was carried out in Poland, Russia, Turkey, Georgia and Romania. We present the foundations of our decisions, and methodological solutions in fields of: aims, identification of the most important ideas, state of knowledge, research inspirations. We present the chosen research method, sample, and tested environments. In addition, the article contains the reconstruction of selected aspects of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory, on which we based our strategy. The described research has the comparative and international nature. Three main aims were established: measuring the level and scope of identification with the state and society among the university students, measuring the level of social, economic and cultural capital of the examined youth and examining the correlation between them and the level of identification with the state and society manifested by the respondents, as well as determining and examining the possible correlations between the patriotic attitude (the degree of identification with the state and society) and the field of study, the country of residence and the level of symbolic capital.

The research was handled by The Action-research in Contemporary Culture and Education – Practice and Theory team, and was commissioned by Rector of Nicolaus Copernicus University. The examination was held in 30 km radius from Grudziądz – the most efficient distance in terms of economics and everyday travels. We’ve found schools in Świecie, Nowe and Łasin in a circle of our interest. The population of examined region is ca. 155 000. An unemployment rate is significantly higher than average (over 29% in a region). Weak educational infrastructure, no industry. Research was conducted from March 20’ to April 18’ 2013 on 2016 students in 18 schools (regular and technical high schools). The main aim of studies was characteristic of a-level and pre-a-level students from Grudziądz and Grudziądz region and their educational plans. We focused especially on plans regarding higher education. All public school students, from all the high schools, were participating in a research. The auditorial survey was a main used method. The questionnaire was divided in 3 parts. The first was general information part, the second was educational plans part. The questionnaire contained also a set of questions to estimate economical, social, and cultural level - according to P. Bourdieu’s theory. The main examination was preluded by pilot examination which allowed us to tune up a research tool and a method.

The title “rich” and “poor” are respondents who took part in the research plans of youth education from Grudziądz and surrounding areas. During the analysis of the data was evaluated their symbolic capital [SC], which is the final instance of equity conversion: cultural, social and economic. It took the values that differ significantly from the average in the study group. In the 31-point scale, “poor” where called people whose measured SC received less than 9 points. The “rich” are people with SC bigger than 19 points. Group accounted for 7.7% and 8.1% of the population (respectively 155 and 164 people). 84.2% of population received in the measurement of SC score between 10-18 points, constituting 29% of the scale. That means that a high similarity of tested people for the measured SC. The data do not reflect the real inequalities that occur in modern society. For the SC test by gender, it was noted outnumbered the “rich” men, due to more frequent than in women taking more lucrative work. With regard to housing, most fell Świecie, where lives most of the capital rich at the same time the least poor capital. Slightly dropped Grudziądz, in which live almost as much “rich” and “poor”, which distracted in the area of small villages. Determined to continue their education was 85.4% “rich” and 65.2% “poor”. With regard to second degree studies, the declarations made 71.4% of the “rich”. 2/3 “poor” could not take such a decision at the time of the study. Nearly 1/4 of the group was not able to identify a particular direction, or university of their future studies. The “poor” often declared a desire to study in the fields to which it is easy to get (tourism, cosmetology, physiotherapy and available in Grudziądz educational sciences). The high ranking law reflects the desires and needs of their social advancement. The “rich” often give direction to ‘prestigious’ and harder subjects (medicine, science, law, and engineering). In both groups, there were no indications of ‘uniform’ subjects, popular in the overall population. Wealthy capital want to get through studies or maintain high social status and prestige occupations. Poorer searching in higher education relative economic security and greater social recognition.

The study revisits the concept of code-switching (CS) by focusing on a phenomenon in which bilinguals reverse switch from their L1 to L2 while speaking in their mother tongue. In the opening sections, the basic question of why CS occurs is addressed by reviewing relevant research and by looking beyond the formal interests to the social and cultural functions of CS in bilingual interactions. Then in the last two chapters, the study introduces and highlights a version of CS called reverse code-switching which is, to a large extent and despite its frequency of occurrence in outer circle societies, ignored in language studies. Attempt has been made to survey possible psycholinguistic and sociocultural explanations that may account for and common perceptions which are held towards the latter phenomenon in the light of the former.

Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, jakie emocje, w jaki sposób i w jakim celu są wyrażane w ramach dyskursu politycznego, w szczególnym kontekście skandalu politycznego. W świetle wciąż następujących zmian w sposobie uprawiania polityki – związanych w znacznym stopniu z wpływem mediów masowych, Internetu – wyrażanie emocji i kierowanie nimi stanowią jedno z podstawowych narzędzi życia politycznego. Personalizacja polityki, jej mediatyzacja i sensacjonalizacja sprawiają, iż rola emocji w walce o poparcie i władzę jest równie istotna, jak kompetencji i merytorycznej wiedzy. Skandal natomiast jest momentem, w którym dochodzi do szczególnej koncentracji emocji, dzięki czemu ogniskuje on pewne mechanizmy walki o władzę przy użyciu takich uczuć, jak: emocjonalizacja przekazu jako narzędzie perswazji politycznej, emocje w odbiorze, jak i w kształtowaniu wizerunku. Rozważania te oparte są na przykładzie życia politycznego współczesnych Włoch i skandalu związanego z premierem Silvio Berlusconim, który stanowi doskonałą egzemplifikację tematyki emocji w życiu publicznym.

The aim of this paper is to show which emotions, how, and to what end are expressed in political discourse, especially in the context of political scandal, in the framework of critical discourse analysis. The changing methods of political battle, related to the influence of mass media and the Internet, have increased the role of emotions as a means of politics. The personalization, mediatization, and sensationalism of political life have led to the recognition of the importance of emotion control and management. Political scandal, which involves extreme emotions and consequently highlights certain mechanisms of political struggle, seems exemplary as far as the study of emotions in politics is concerned. The analysis of emotionalization as a persuasive means, the role of emotions in the reception and interpretation of political messages, and emotions as key factors in creating a positive self-image are based on the example of Italian political scene and scandals surrounding Silvio Berlusconi.

Niniejszy tekst podejmuje próbę rozważenia relacji między ekonomią a kulturą poprzez analizę kategorii kapitału kulturowego Pierre’a Bourdieu w kontekście jej zakorzenienia w koncepcji kapitału Karola Marksa. Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie dlaczego kapitał okazuje się niezbędną kategorią analityczną, bez której nie da się uchwycić i opisać mechanizmu kapitalizowania zasobów symbolicznych tak charakterystycznego dla logiki późnego kapitalizmu.

Prispevek se nanaša na slovenske literarne publikacije, ki jih je v letih 2012—2015 redno izdajal Mikolovski inštitut Rafała Wojaczka. Obravnava vloge založniških hiš pri spodbujanju prevajanja periferne literature, pri čemer se opira na teorijo družbenih polj Pierra Bourdieuja. Avtorica opozarja na mehanizme in motivacijo za nastajanje teh publikacij — tako na strani založnika kot prevajalca. Loti se tudi vprašanja skrbi za zunanjo podobo prevodne publikacije ter prisotnosti oz. odsotnosti paratekstov. Povečanje zanimanja za nišno literaturo (vključno s tujo) je nedvomno posledica illusia (Bourdieu), torej verovanja v pomen literarne, prevajalske in založniške dejavnosti ter njenih estetskih in družbenih učinkov. Taka zavest je prisotna med člani Mikolovskega inštituta in drugimi, ki so vključeni v založniški proces (npr. prevajalci). Zato si Mikolovski inštitut za svoje zanimanje za tujo in (z gledišča literarnega polja prejemniške literature) periferno književnost, poskus transferja simboličnega kapitala slovenskih ustvarjalcev ter za svojo relativno avtonomijo na področju založništva zasluži vse priznanje.

This article focuses on the dissemination of Slovenian literature in Polish by the Rafał Wojaczek Institute in Mikołów between 2012 and 2015. The author approaches the role of publishers in promoting literatures that are viewed from the Polish perspective as marginal using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social fields. She points to the mechanisms and motivations of both the publisher and the translators, addresses issues related to graphic design, and examines the impact of paratextuality. The appreciation of non -mainstream literatures, including translations, stems from Bourdieu’s notion of illusio, a belief shared by the Institute’s staff and the team supporting the publishing process (i.e. translators) in the value of literature, translation and publishing, and their aesthetic and social impacts. The interest of the Mikołowski Institute in propagating fringe literatures, its attempts to transfer symbolic Slovenian capital into Polish and its relative autonomy in the publishing market are well worth noting.

Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na mechanizm, który może utrudniać długofalową współpracę członków kadry kierującej firmami oraz osób je nadzorujących z danym przedsiębiorstwem. Mechanizmem tym jest krzyżowanie się zarządów i rad nadzorczych (interlocking directorates) co oznacza sytuację, w której dana osoba zasiada jednocześnie w organach korporacyjnych różnych firm. Artykuł przedstawia wyniki pogłębionych wywiadów przeprowadzanych z praktykami biznesu w Polsce (w większości członkami zarządów i rad nadzorczych firm z listy „Rzeczpospolita 500”), skupiając się na ich autorefleksji związanej ze zjawiskiem korzyści płynących z krzyżowania się rad i zarządów oraz związków tego mechanizmu z indywidualną lojalnością wobec firmy i zaufaniem w środowisku biznesowym w Polsce.

Aim of this article is to draw attention to a mechanism possibly obstructing for a process of building long-term loyalty and cooperation between board members/directors and company. The mechanism are so-called interlocking directorates. The article presents analysis of in-depth interviews that were run with business practitioners (mainly members of executive and advisory boards in firms listed on Rzeczpospolita 500 List). Interviews concentrated on their assessment of benefits, advantages that can be drawn from interlocking directorates and how these gainings can influence loyalty towards companies.

Based on a one-year ethnographic research conducted at the private higher education institution, this empirical study aims to analyse the MBA study program from the perspective of reproduction of social differences. The first part of the article presents the theoretical background of the study, Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of cultural, economic, symbolic and social capital and his perspective on educational institutions as a means of reproducing social differences. After introducing the basic features of the school under the study, the third, analytical part describes the manifest aims of the program that consist in reinforcement of cultural and economic capital. Besides these goals to provide students with knowledge for promoting their career opportunities and business success, the mechanisms builing of students’ symbolic and social capital are depicted. As the text shows, besides its manifest aims, the MBA program functions as a space for the conversion of economic capital into symbolic and social capital. Both of which then increase economic capital and thus enable to reproduce and reinforce students’ social positions.

Tekst podejmuje problematykę związaną z pejzażem edukacyjno-kulturowym małego miasta. Miasto traktowane jest jako obszar kumulowania doświadczeń społecznych oraz edukacyjnych. Na przykładzie 26-tysięcznego Świecia położonego w województwie kujawsko-pomorskim opisywany jest fenomen edukacyjny tej niewielkiej miejscowości. Badania nad planami edukacyjnymi młodzieży z Grudziądza i okolic przyniosły kilka zaskakujących wyników i wniosków. Wśród nich lokujmy te, które udowadniają, że Świecie w sposób nie budzący wątpliwości wyprzedza pozostałe badane miasta w niemal każdej dziedzinie. Uczniowie ze Świecia odznaczają się najwyższym poziomem kapitału symbolicznego, który jest swego rodzaju esencją pozostałych kapitałów: ekonomicznego, społecznego i kulturowego. Młodzież ze Świecia posiada również najwyższy kapitał kulturowy, który mierzony był przy pomocy takich wskaźników, jak: ilość posiadanych książek, certyfikatów, dokumentów potwierdzających nabyte kompetencje, osiągnięcia szkolne i znajomość języków. Co ciekawe, młodzież ta częściej niż uczniowie z pozostałych badanych miejscowości deklarowała chęć podjęcia studiów wyższych. Wśród tych, którzy planują studia, o wyborze uczelni decydują czynniki, które można uznać za szlachetne, czyli: prestiż uczelni oraz bogata oferta kierunków. Podczas gdy inni podejmują decyzje, kierując się na przykład preferencjami znajomych czy bliskością uczelni od domu rodzinnego. Często wybieranym kierunkiem, znacznie częściej, niż to się dzieje w innych badanych miastach, jest medycyna, uważana za kierunek trudny, ambitny oraz taki, na który trudno się dostać. Młodzież ze Świecia dominuje nad rówieśnikami również pod względem planów dotyczących trybu studiów oraz podejmowania studiów na II stopniu. Uczniowie częściej deklarują chęć studiowania w trybie stacjonarnym oraz w większości planują studia magisterskie.

The study is dedicated to exploring the educational and cultural picture of a small town. The town is seen as an area for accumulating social and educational experiences. Świecie, a town of 26,000 people, is situated in kujawsko-pomorskie voivodship, and serves as the example to present certain educational phenomenon. The research examines the educational plans of teenage people from Grudziądz and nearby areas, which resulted in several surprising conclusions. The most important one was that Świecie is ahead of the rest of the towns included the research in almost every domain. Students from here have the highest level of so called symbolic potential, which is the essence of other capitals (economic, social and cultural one). Teenage people from Świecie are also characterised with the highest cultural capital, which was estimated with such indicators as the number of books, diplomas, certificates; school achievements and their command of foreign languages. What was also interesting was that teenagers from Świecie declare a readiness to go to university more often than do those from other towns. Some of those who want to acquire further education take into account such factors as university prestige or the wide range of fields of studies. Others admit that for them of more significance is friends’ opinion or the fact that the university is near their hometown. The most popular discipline is medicine, which is chosen by teenagers from Świecie more often than in other towns. These study disciplines are believed to be difficult, ambitious and hard to get into. Teenagers from Świecie also declared their wish to study full time and complete an M.A. thesis, which is another phenomenon when compared to young people in other towns in the area.

Artykuł stanowi próbę wykazania roli, jaką odgrywa miasto - jako jednostka samorządu terytorialnego, konkretna przestrzeń, a przede wszystkim jako zbiorowość mieszkańców - w kształtowaniu samorozwoju, a także w kreowaniu rozwoju regionalnego. Dbałość o rozwój kapitału ludzkiego, kulturowego i społecznego powinna zaowocować powstaniem kapitału symbolicznego, który będąc najwyższą forma kapitału wpływa na elitarność posiadających go jednostek terytorialnych. Autorki podjęły próbę zdiagnozowania Zabrza jako miasta, które dzięki endogenicznemu potencjałowi może stać się centrum wzrostu.

High symbolic capital is result of processes building other kinds of capital. The city is a special place, also important for regional development. Endogenous processes of growth depend on own resources. The main problem is how to create city Zabrze as a local pole of growth. The essay is a preface to own research.

This article attempts to answer the question: why the Polish translation of a novel by Elfriede Jelinek The Children of the Dead (Die Kinder der Toten) did not stir any debate in the circles of literary criticism in Poland. While analysing the actions carried out as a part of the W.A.B.’s (a Warsaw-based publishing house) strategy to advance the publication process and to popularize Jelinek’s oeuvre, we may notice that they actually confirm the publisher’s endeavour to balance economic and symbolic capital (Bourdieu). It allows us to reconstruct the “marketing” aims of the translation in question. Yet both the cognitive and pragmatic facet of the Austrian Nobel Laureate’s Polish translation remain to be reconstructed by the readers.

Im Beitrag wird auf die Frage eingegangen, warum der Roman Die Kinder der Toten von Elfriede Jelinek keine Debatte im literaturkritischen Feld in Polen auslöste. Die Analyse der Aktivitäten seitens des W.A.B.-Verlags für den Veröffentlichungsprozess und für Die Popularisierung Jelineks Schaffens in Polen, die auf das Balancieren des Warschauer Verlags zwischen dem ökonomischen und symbolischen Kapital (Bourdieu) hinweisen, lässt die Marketing-Ziele der literarischen Übersetzung aufdecken. Die kognitiven und pragmatischen aspekte des Übersetzten Romans bleiben für die polnischen Leser eine Herausforderung.

L’auteure de l’article essaie de répondre à la question pourquoi le roman Enfants des morts (Die Kinder der Toten) d’Elfriede Jelinek n’a provoqué aucun débat dans la circulation critico-littéraire. L’analyse des actions — entreprises par la maison d’édition W.a.B. (Varsovie) pour le compte du processus éditorial et de la popularisation de jelinek — confirmant le balancement de la maison d’édition varsovienne entre le capital économique et symbolique (Bourrdieu) permet de reconstruire les objectifs « marketing » de la traduction. l’aspect cognitif et pragmatique de la traduction du roman de la nobélisée autrichienne se situe toujours dans le domaine d’une reconstruction éventuelle effectuée par les récepteurs polonais.

Autorka podejmuje tematykę recepcji w Polsce powieści Południca (Mittagsfrau) Julii Franck i powieści Słownik (Wörterbuch), autorstwa Jenny Erpenbeck. Analiza recenzji, komentarzy, omówień w obiegu akademickim i krytycznoliterackim (także nieprofesjonalnym obiegu internetowym) obu tych utworów wskazuje na większe zainteresowanie odczytywaniem Południcy niż Słownika. Przyczyn takiej sytuacji można dopatrywać się w działaniach promocyjnych wydawnictw, w których ukazały się powieści. Czytelnicy chętniej sięgają po autora konsekrowanego, już nagradzanego, posiadającego medialne uznanie i prestiż, niż po ważnego, posiadającego kapitał symboliczny. Autorka wskazuje ponadto, że odczytywaniu Południcy towarzyszy podkreślanie roli, jaką odgrywa w powieści perspektywa tożsamości narodowej mieszkańców Europy Wschodniej, natomiast optyka totalitarna, przez którą postrzegany jest Słownik Jenny Erpenbeck, ujawnia polsko-niemiecką bliskość historyczną, tożsamą dla obu państw z Bloku Wschodniego. Podsumowując artykuł, Autorka stwierdza, że młoda niemiecka literatura, reprezentowana przez omawiane autorki, wciąż rzadko jest przedmiotem badań akademickich.

The paper undertakes the subject matter of the reception of Julia’s Franck’s The Blindness of the Heart / Mittagsfrau and Jenny’s Erpenbeck’s The Book of Words / Wörterbuch in Poland. While analyzing the quantity of reviews, commentaries, opinions in the academic, critical and literary circulation (also non-professional Internet circulation) of both works, she points at the bigger interest in reading out The Blindness of the Heart rather than The Book of Words. She believes it is so due to promotional activites of the publisher, where the novels appeared. They indicate that the readers more willingly choose a consecrated, already awarded author who has gained a medial recognition and prestige, rather than an important, of symbolic cap-ital and interest to only a narrow group of receivers. They also appreciate books of importance, unique ones, and not necessarily medially present. Moreover, the author indicates that while reading out The Blindness of the Heart one should notice the role of the national identity perspective of the inhabitants of Eastern Europe and the totalitarian optics , through which Jenny Erpenbeck’s The Book of Words is read reveals the Polish-German historical ‘closeness’, identical for both states of the Eastern Block. Summing up, the author claims that young German literature represented by the above mentioned authors still seldom becomes the subject of the research.

Der Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit der polnischen Rezeption der Romane Mittagsfrau von Julia Franck und Wörterbuch von Jenny Erpenbeck. Aus der Analyse von Rezensionen, Kommentaren und Besprechungen beider Werke im akademischen und literaturkritischen Feld (auch im Internet) geht hervor, dass Mittagsfrau in Polen intensiver rezipiert wird als der Roman Wörterbuch. Die Ursachen dieses Tatbestands erkennt die Verfasserin in den Vermarktungsstrategien der Verlage, in denen die Romane erschienen sind. Sie zeigt, dass der Leser lieber nach Werken anerkannter, schon preisgekrönter und in den Medien präsenter (konsekrierter) Autoren greift, als nach Werken der Autoren, deren symbolisches Kapital groß ist. Es wird bewiesen, dass bei der Aufnahme der Mittagsfrau die Betonung der Rolle der nationalen Identität der Osteuropäer dominant ist, während die totalitäre Optik, mit der Jenny Erpenbecks Wörterbuch gelesen wird, die polnisch-deutsche historische ‘Affinität’ (Staaten des Ostblocks) veranschaulicht. Zusammenfassend stellt die Verfasserin fest, dass die neue deutsche Literatur, deren Vertreterinnen die besprochenen Autorinnen sind, immer noch selten in der akademischen Forschung aufgenommen wird.
