This article is based on an analysis of the social field of the art and cultural category designed to described human taste of aestheticism and need to art creativity. The main idea of this paper is attempt of amendment existing applied notions to the description and analyses of art. To this purpose author is using the analogy between the iconoclash notion suggested by Bruno Latour, and proposed by oneself idea of the mediaclash. This phenomenon characterized by a clash of aesthetics and usage of formal means (especially digital technologies, which are the foundations of the very existence of new media). The second proposition is arthick category, used like Clifford Geertz thick description. This concept show a procedure of interpretation that sets the meaning of particular actions within their proper context, which makes it possible to understand human creative actions and it’s connections with social field.

The inspiration to write the article has been provided by a source document – a letter from a woman from Besko to Polish president Bolesław Bierut with a request to be exempted from displacement during Operation Vistula, launched in April 1947. An analysis of the document, employing the thick description method, resulted in working conclusions pertaining both the specific event and the context in which it occurred, as well as conclusions concerning potential new research fields.

Thick description, thin description. Cultural way of understanding disability The aim of this article is to present disability from the cultural point of view. Special attention will be paid to Clifford Geertz and his thick description. The phrase thick description is borrowed from Gilbert Ryle. In the classic example one boy’s eye involuntairly twitches while at the same time another boy winks. The physical phenomena are the same but the meaning is different. In understanding disability we have to take into consideration not only the medical, social or biopsychosocial model but cultural context as well.

This paper deals with a selected example of the understanding of the Anglo-Saxon New Historicism by German literary scholars. It focuses on the method of “thick description” as formulated by the American anthropologist Clifford Geertz and as criticized by German literary scholar and ethnologist Thomas Fechner-Smarsly. In connection with the so-called anthropological turn, it consists in the application of ethnology in literary criticism. According to Geertz a semantic density arises from the complexity of described, but Geertz fails to formulate a general theory. Fechner sees a greatpotential for literary studies in the method of “thick description”, but he criticizes the lack of system in Geertz’, when he is reluctant to formulate a generally applicable model of this method. Fechner therefore calls for contextualization, organization and instantiation methods of “thick description” in literary studies and, moreover, emphasizes the interdisciplinary overlap.

This article looks at uses of the word “samizdat” in the mid-1970s, focusing on České rozhovory (Czech Conversations), a book of interviews that journalist Jiří Lederer conducted with other banned writers (such as Ludvík Vaculík, Václav Havel, Jiří Gruša, Aleksandr Kliment and others) in 1975 and 1976. The author carries out a “thick description” (in the tradition of Clifford Geertz) of the word “samizdat”, uncovering a range of connotations tied to the inadequacy of unofficial culture. Rather than constituting a fully functioning alternative culture, samizdat was often seen as inadequate and artificial (like “palm trees above the arctic circle,” in the words of writer Jaroslav Putík); it was a mere substitute for genuine cultural production, operating in a minimal communications network and preserving a finite, even tiny number of material copies for future generations. The article thus proposes an alternative to a common scholarly reading of Czech unofficial cultural activity in the 1970s, in which samizdat is seen as part of a systematic, well-organized effort to create an alternative culture and thereby to undermine the Communist regime. In fact, as the author suggests through a brief reading of Havel’s “Six Asides About Culture” (1984), “samizdat” acquired these connotations only later – to some extent this happened in the framework of Charter 77 and the whole theory of a “parallel polis,” although the process of “re-reading” samizdat as a widespread and effective communications network continues after 1989 and through to the present day.

The article describes an experiment in using action research and ethnographic methodology in contemporary teacher education in Poland. The author shares her experience in using these methodologies together with her colleague in the senior year with students of education - future teachers - at the School of Education of the University of Lower Silesia. She points to the ways in which these methodologies help empower future teachers with critical competencies that may lead to the development of autonomous professionalisms in their future practice. She argues that the presented institutional and organizational solutions pave the way for further application of the presented methodologies in Polish teacher education.

Artykuł jest przykładem zastosowania metodologii badań w działaniu i etnografii edukacyjnej w kształceniu nauczycieli. Autorka opisuje studium przypadku, dydaktyczny eksperyment, który przeprowadziła wraz z koleżanką ze studentkami 3. roku kierunku Pedagogika na Wydziale Nauk Pedagogicznych Dolnośląskiej Szkoły Wyższej i wskazuję na przydatność wybranej metodologii nauczania w pracy z przyszłymi nauczycielami. Wskazuję, jak wymienione metodologiczne podejścia mogą wyposażać przyszłych nauczycieli w krytyczne kompetencje ukierunkowane na samodzielne rozwijanie własnego profesjonalizmu. Zastosowanie opisywanej metodologii w ramach seminarium dyplomowego w połączeniu z praktykami nauczycielskimi daję możliwość na jego szersze wprowadzenie w kształcenie nauczycieli.

Clifford Geertz in Onomastics? A Few Thoughts after Reading Artur Rejter’s Book “Proper Names in Con/texts of Culture” The article is an attempt to reflect upon the way in which some terms coming from modern anthropology (local knowledge, thick description) can be used in studies regarding proper names in the cultural and social perspective. This anthropological way of thinking has been presented in Artur Rejter’s new book “Proper Names in Con/texts of Culture”. The author of the article shows that studying culture through proper names must entail the widening of the variety of scientific methods and strategies and adding those used in social studies and humanities.
