Tekst Stana Brakehage’a – jednej z najciekawszych postaci w historii awangardy filmowej – jest fragmentem jego książki "Essential Brakhage. Selected Writings on Filmmaking by Stan Brakhage" (2001). Reżyser snuje poetycką, pełną gier słownych refleksję nad tytułowymi metaforami wizji. Ustanawia i stara się opisać swoistą relację między okiem kamery a okiem twórcy, filmowca. Charakteryzując rozmaite metafory widzenia, śledzi z pozoru oczywiste, a jednak pełne tajemnic funkcje ludzkiego oka i szuka przełożenia tychże funkcji na praktykę filmowca, odnajduje ich echa w pracy kamery. Brakhage dostrzega przy tym, że ludzkie oko (jego oko) zdolne jest do każdego wyobrażenia (otwiera przed nami nieograniczoną rzeczywistość), zaś oko kamery to pierwotny kłamca (oferuje nam same ograniczenia i złudzenia).

The article is a chapter taken out of the book "Essential Brakhage. Selected Writings on filmmaking by Stan Brakhage" (2001). The director, who is one of the most interesting persons in the history of avant-garde cinema, weaves a poetic narrative, that is full of puns, on the title “metaphors on vision”. He establishes and seeks to describe the relation between the eye of the camera and the eye of the film maker. When describing various metaphors of vision, he tracks the seemingly obvious, and yet mysterious functions of the human eye, and tries to find the equivalent of these functions in the practice of the filmmaker, finding their echoes in camera work. Brakhage notes at the same time, that the human eye (his eye) is capable of any imagining (it opens up an unlimited reality in front of him), while the eye of the camera is a primeval liar (the only thing that it offers is restriction and illusion).

In the current study, we tested whether a masked and, thus, invisible singleton-cue captures attention in a stimulus-driven manner or in a top-down contingent manner. The manual RT (Reaction Time) capture effect with the invisible singleton-cue decreased substantially when a match between the singleton-cue and the top-down controlled set of searched-for target features was also decreased. By contrast, with the PCN (Posterior Contralateral Negativity), an electrophysiological measure of the capture of visuospatial attention by the invisible singleton-cue, no significant decrement was observed. Taken together, the results support the assumption that an invisible singleton-cue can capture attention in a stimulus-driven manner, and that different delays in the deallocation of attention (i.e., attention is deallocated more efficiently from a cue that does not match the top-down controlled set than from a cue that does match the same set) account for the weaker manual RT capture effect with a set-nonmatching invisible singleton-cue.

In the present article, the role of endogenous feature-specific orienting for conscious and unconscious vision is reviewed. We start with an overview of orienting. We proceed with a review of masking research, and the definition of the criteria of experimental protocols that demonstrate endogenous and exogenous orienting, respectively. Against this background of criteria, we assess studies of unconscious orienting and come to the conclusion that so far studies of unconscious orienting demonstrated endogenous feature-specific orienting. The review closes with a discussion of the role of unconscious orienting in action control.

We come prepared to track events and objects, building our knowledge base while foraging for coherence. Classical pragmatism recognizes that the acquisition of knowledge is in part a contact sport (e.g. Peirce, Dewey). One of the aims of neuroscience is to capture human experience. One route to perhaps achieve this may be through the study of the visual system and its expansion in our evolutionary history. Embodied cephalic systems, as Dewey knew well, are tied to self-corrective inquiry. A philosophy of neuroscience needs to capture how such events are tracked, tested through experience, and subsequently modified in the brain to comprise a knowledge base.

The paper explores the issue of the application of selected theories of European inte-gration (intergovernmental and supranational) to explain the position of the Polish Justice Law and Justice party with regard to the functioning and future of the EU. The party, led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, is a political formation which is actively engaged in the debate on the shape of the EU, pertaining to both its theoretical and practical policies. The ongoing debate has taken the form of battle between neo-functionalism and state-centric intergovernmental approach. The author believes that the main theory that explains the Law and Justice party’s approach to European issues is inter-governmentalism which aligns well with the concept of “Europe of Motherlands” adopted by the party. It proclaims the primacy of nation state and its interests in the process of European integration. This is tantamount to refuting the view that the EU can develop only in accordance with the neo-functionalism’s spill-over logic which will eventually lead to the formation of a European federation.

According to the sensorimotor supremacy hypothesis, conscious perception draws on motor action. In the present report, we will sketch two lines of potential development in the field of masking research based on the sensorimotor supremacy hypothesis. In the first part of the report, evidence is reviewed that masked, invisible stimuli can affect motor responses, attention shifts, and semantic processes. After the review of the corresponding evidence - so-called masked priming effects - an approach based on the sensorimotor supremacy hypothesis is detailed as to how the question of a unitary mechanism of unconscious vision can be pursued by masked priming studies. In the second part of the report, different models and theories of backward masking and masked priming are reviewed. Types of models based on the sensorimotor hypothesis are discussed that can take into account ways in which sensorimotor processes (reflected in masked priming effects) can affect conscious vision under backward masking conditions.

The presented research concerns 11-year-old Greek students’ mental representations of the mechanisms of vision in conditions of natural and artificial light, as well as the persistence of those representations in terms of the two different states of lighting and the expression form of the provided answers (oral speech; sketches). The study consisted of two phases: test interviews and an interview process, where personal interviews were conducted with 30 participants. The results showed that the 11-year-old pupils employed the majority of the vision schemes that are included in the international bibliography; however, they tended to use the Sea of Light mechanism and a new scheme the researchers called Illumination of the Object. The schemes employed, however, are not consistent, either throughout the different states of lighting, or in the 3-D and 2-D world.

For Primate Stefan Wyszyński, the past of the nation was an important element creating the identity of the nation, on whose behaviour its future depended. Maintaining the memory of the history of the nation, which, in the primate’s thought, was constituted when Mieszko I was baptised in 966, was one of the priorities of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński’s teaching. For this reason, it was also a part of the world-view dispute between the Primate and the communist authorities of postwar Poland, whose aim was to erase many pages of history from national memory or to give them a different meaning as a condition for creating a „new” society based on the Soviet model. In the evaluation of the past, falsified in the People’s Republic of Poland, the Primate used „his own domestic and national sense” and „proper evaluation of the spirit”. The theological perspective allowed the Primate to look at the painful and tragic pages of history, including the lost national uprisings, as a sacrifice modelled on the sacrifice of Christ, necessary for the resurrection of Poland. According to Primate Wyszyński, the history of the nation was a reservoir of values, co-shaped by faith and the Church, from which future generations could draw in the struggle to regain independence in 1918 and regain sovereignty.

The paper discusses how ordinary acts of everyday life make up the complex and contingent scenarios of disabilities that create enabling and disabling (dis/abling) practices. Drawing on qualitative empirical data the societal visibility and relevance of dis/abling practices are analyzed by connecting disability studies and sociological ideas with insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS). The essay explores how (visual) dis/ability is the outcome of human and non-human configurations and suggests that dis/ability can be understood neither as an individual bodily impairment nor as a socially attributed disability. Rather, dis/ability refers to complex sets of heterogeneous practices that (re-)associate bodies, material objects, and technologies with sensory practices. These practices, the paper concludes, draw attention to the multiple processes that (re-) concatenate the conduct of human affairs.

Augustine’s visions are one of the most influential accounts of mystical experience in the Western tradition, and a subject of persistent interest to Christians, philosophers and historians. This article explores Augustine’s account of his experience as set down in the Confessions, and explores his mysticism and visio Dei. Even so, if, broadly described, the characteristics of mysticism generally defined as being the possession of a most penetrating intellectual vision into things divine, and a love of God that was a consuming passion, then Augustine merits consideration.235-243

Manuel González Prada is one of the most important Latin American authors. He used the biological metaphor to criticize Peruvian society in the late nineteenth century. The metaphor of disease, animal and plant are three kinds of analog procedures that González Prada uses according to a naturalistic vision, heiress of Spencer's evolutionism. González Prada questions the imitation and lack of stylistic precision of writers in the nineteenth century, as well as conceiving that Peru is a sick organism

Celem eksperymentu było sprawdzenie, jakie czynniki mogą modyfikować koszty międzymodalnego wzrokowo-dotykowego rozpoznawania scen. Badani uczyli się sceny, patrząc na nią bądź jej dotykając (w warunkach dotykowych - z zasłoniętymi oczami), a po odroczeniu rozpoznawali ją za pośrednictwem tej samej bądź zmienionej modalności. Manipulowano poziomem trudności zadania, wprowadzając na etapie rozpoznawania dwie bądź trzy zmiany umiejscowienia elementów tworzących scenę. Stwierdzono, że koszty zmiany modalności, związane zarówno ze spadkiem trafności rozpoznawania, jak i z wydłużeniem czasu podejmowania decyzji, występują jedynie w sytuacji dużego obciążenia pamięci roboczej, to jest w sytuacji dotykowego uczenia się sceny i przy dużym poziomie trudności zadania rozpoznawania.

EN

The experiment is aimed at investigating the factors that may modulate the costs of cross-modal visuo-haptic recognition of scenes. Participants learned a scene either visually or by touch (in the latter case they were blindfolded); then, following a delay, they identified the scene using the same or changed modality. The level of difficulty was adjusted by introducing two or three changes in the placement of scene elements at the recognition stage. It has been demonstrated that the costs of modality change, related to both decreased accuracy of recognition and extended time for making decision, occur only in a situation when a significant burden is imposed on working memory, i.e., with tactile learning of a scene and a high level of difficulty of the recognition task.

The idea of Centrope (Central European Region) was launched in September 2003 with the aim to profile the Central European Region as a framework for increasing wealth and sustainable development in area of living and working space for about 6 mln people. Cities, counties and other territorial subjects in Austria, Hungary, Czechia and Slovakia took part in this initiative. With its size, complexity of relations and thematic scope, Centrope became a laboratory of cross-border cooperation. Innovative solutions based on cross-border cooperation in all fields, including economy, politics, culture and education, were included in its vision and main objectives. The authors are looking into the development of this region over the past 17 years of its existence. Using semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, the initial expectations, its strengths and weaknesses as well as what lessons can be learned from this initiative for other cross-border areas in Europe are evaluated. Special attention is paid to the role of the two largest cities of this region, Vienna and Bratislava, and their cooperation, as well as their role for the region as a whole. Regional cooperation within the Centrope, its marketing communication as well as overall current state of art of the region and its future perspectives, are other thematic highlights of the critical revision, presented in this paper.

The article is arguing that town planning requires a new restructure of design methodologies. It is stating that the complex aspects of planning require division of the whole process and should concentrate not only on the physical development phase but on all the complex growth procedures and tendencies. It should start from visionary socio-economic ideas and restrictions which would lead to futuristic interpretations of human needs and environmental aspects. Because of the complex aspects, the approach should be divided into three tears. The complexity of urban procedures should be robust in the upper tears but flexible in detailed interpretations. This only will provide the opportunity to respond adequately to the changing circumstances in urban development tendencies. The attached maps and graphs provide clear indication of the required activities, topics and procedures for a modern approach to urban planning.

The medieval iconography of Dorothy of Montau is exceptionally scanty. The oldest image of her is dating back to the late 15th century, and the possible reception of her visions in the art remains a hypothesis, despite of their creative suggestibility, that could have influenced the artistic creation. On the other hand, many of her visions reveal the dependence on earlier imagery sources, that with use of knowledge of artistic phenomena can be recognized. This is the task for art historian. Such research is of great potential, as the revelations of Dorothy include sensual aspect (characteristic of the Late-medieval feminine mysticism), sensitivity for pictorial details and evidences for her individual sense of beauty. The paper analyses visual aspects of Dorothy’s mysticism, above all basing on treatises of Johannes von Marienwerder: Liber de festis, Septililium, Vita latina. Discussed are types of revelations, their imagery elements and the way of their perception and description by the Prussian visionary. Considering those revelations against the background of sacral iconography demonstrates close associations between mystical experience and the experience of the image. It can be seen in the relations between the description of events, persons (appearance, attributes, garment), places, motifs and the popular iconography (Adoration of the Magi, Coronation of the Virgin etc.). The relationship between contemplation of the vision and the emotional reception of devotional images can be also reconstructed. The key for the interpretation of the sources and meaning of Dorothy’s visions is the consideration in context of scholastic epistemology and ars memorativa as well as from the point of view of anthropology of image (external image / sight – internal image / eye – mystic as medium). By this analysis the mental power and mnemonic function of religious imagery can be proved. The questions for character of revelations have to stay unanswered (supernatural mystical vision, appearing in the mind of visionary as the images that are easy to assimilate for her? Subjective realisation of the “dialogue with image” in her imagination through external images? Subconscious choice of those elements from the whole revelation, that were possible to recognize, understand and explain?). Thus, her religious experience, described using canonical sacral images, is a part of phenomenon of mutual relations of art and mysticism in the late Middle Ages.

One of the contemporary political powers characterised by an ambivalent attitude toward state authority are extreme organisations. Agata Kałabunowska undertakes this issue in the chapter The vision of authority in political programmes of contemporary German extreme right organisations, which aims at depicting the attitude of selected radical organisations toward a broadly defined authority. Based on qualitative content analysis of political programmes, declarations and performances of five German right-wing organisations the author tackles the question about their attitude towards the actual state authority, as well as about their desired model of executing power. Several elements of the far right’ criticism towards authorities have been analysed, such as subservience to the foreign power of international organisations, faulty immigration policies, pressure within political parties or excessive bureaucratisation. The author points out that the multitude of far right’ arguments against current authorities is not equaled by quality or quantity of suggested political alternatives. The potential efficiency of suggested solutions is uncertain, which is accompanied by lack of exact vision on how to put them in practice, which makes these proposals unrealistic. What is more, due to the fact that the German extreme right does participate in the contested political game its message seems untrustworthy. The far right appears not capable – and definitely not willing – to fix the current system, allegedly depriving the nation from its real influence on the decision making process. This observation leads to the conclusion that the far right’ ideal vision of exercising power would be based on negation or distortion of current solutions. Although it was not possible to outline how this ideal would look like in details, the author concludes that we can expect from the extreme right that its imagined political authority will be inconsistent with liberal democratic rules, albeit not necessarily authoritarian nor totalitarian.

Vision, that is, the mental representation of the sensory experience of a future goal state (involving imagination and imagery), is currently at the forefront of motivational innovation, and in recent years it has been seen increasingly more often in the motivational tool kit of practicing language teachers. Theories such as Dörnyei’s L2 motivational self system have explored the power that creating effective visions can harness (see, e.g., Dörnyei & Kubanyiova, 2014) and when viewed in conjunction with other current research avenues, such as future time perspective and dynamic systems theory, vision offers exciting potential. A Directed Motivational Current is a new motivational construct that we suggest is capable of integrating many current theoretical strands with vision: It can be described as a motivational drive which energises long-term, sustained behaviour (such as language learning), and through placing vision and goals as critical central components within this construct, it offers real and practical motivational potential. In this conceptual paper, we first discuss current understandings of vision and of Directed Motivational Currents, and then analyse how they may be optimally integrated and employed to create effective motivational pathways in language learning environments.
