Artykuł analizuje film Bartosza Konopki Królik po berlińsku (2009), który autorka odczytuje jako splot historii ludzkiej i nie-ludzkiej. W tekście zostaje podjęta kwestia potencjału sztuki filmowej w tworzeniu nieantropocentrycznych sposobów widzenia świata. Rozważania przedstawione w artykule odnoszą się do transdyscyplinarnych studiów nad zwierzętami, a szczególnie do subdyscypliny historii, jaką jest historia zwierząt. Przedstawione w filmie wydarzenia związane z powstaniem i upadkiem Muru Berlińskiego, widziane oczami królików, pozwalają autorce na przeprowadzenie interpretacji obrazu z perspektywy posthumanistycznej, akcentującej znaczenie filmowych historii w poszukiwaniu nowych sposobów postrzegania świata, wolnych od ego- i antropocentryzmu.

The article presents an analysis of Bartosz Konopka’s movie Rabbit à la Berlin (2009), which is interpreted by the author as an manifestation of the entanglement of human and non-human narratives. The text addresses the problem of the potential of film art for creating non-anthropocentric ways of seeing the world. The considerations refer to transdisciplinary animal studies, particularly to animal history as a subfield of history. The events related to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, as seen through the eyes of rabbits, allow the author to interpret the picture from a post-humanist perspective, emphasizing the significance of the film storytelling in the search for new ways of perceiving the world, free from human ego- and anthropocentrism.
The article is an analysis of a non-visual theatre in the context of sensory perception. It explores and reflects on the altered reception of plays involving the limitation of the sense of sight. The paper considers auditory artistic expression and the issue of synesthetic artistic experience.
The article is a critical outline of Ewa Bińczyk’s book “The Human Epoch. The rhetoric and stagnation of the Anthropocene”. Bińczyk’s book, the first such extensive study of the Anthropocene discourse in Poland, is analysed by the author of the text in terms of the axiological problems of the new era, especially of the change in the value system which determines the global environmental crisis. The article focuses on issues related to the search for a new methodology adapted to the time of an environmental crisis, on the potential of an interdisciplinary post-humanist discourse and on narratives contributing to the transformation of environmental awareness, not only on the part of representatives of scholarly circles but entire societies.
