Pik poprawił blado czerwony krawat. Kątem oka sprawdził jeszcze, czy w serwisie nie pojawił się jakiś nowy wpis. Po tym wstał. Odchrząknął i przemówił do zebranych, siedzących za dwoma długimi stołami: - Witam wszystkich na kolejnym posiedzeniu Rady Ministrów Wspólnoty Nieustraszonej… - krótka pauza, wypełniona burzą oklasków – Może zaczniemy trochę nietypowo: od szklaneczki szampana, aby uczcić 20 rok naszych rządów. – podniósł swój kieliszek; wszyscy… może prawie wszyscy… zrobili to samo – Zdrowie! – powiedział radośnie Pik. Wszyscy, jak jedno ciało ustawodawcze, wypili bąbelkowy napój. Pika, w czasie picia, naszły wspomnienia: 25 lat temu, jeszcze jako jedyny administrator serwisu knight-rider.pl (a obecnie Premier i honorowy admin), nie podejrzewał, że dziś, razem z ludźmi, którzy tamten serwis współtworzyli, będzie naprawdę zmieniał świat, a ściślej, rządził nim. Że 24 i pół roku temu, ktoś rzuci pomysł, aby wystartować w wyborach do parlamentu, a że po zdubbingowaniu całego KR, KR:TS, TEAM KNIGHT RIDER, nakręceniu polskiego KR i sprowadzeniu Davida do Polski nie mieli już innego szalonego pomysłu, więc przystali na to i… I teraz są, gdzie są. - A teraz do roboty. – Pik usiadł. Reszta ministrów też – Sprawa numer jeden… - premier otworzył pierwszą teczkę – Jak wyglądają postępy przy wyborze piosenki na kolejne Igrzyska Zimowe w Zakopanem, panie ministrze? – zwrócił się do ministra muzyki, Formuły 1 i Jakiej To Melodii, eNeRa, który miał akurat ubrane słuchawki i w najlepsze miksował kolejny kawałek na laptopie – eNeR… - delikatnie ponaglił go premier – Ministrze! – krzyknął. Jednak ten nadal był w świecie muzyki… Nagle na stół wyskoczył wielki, czerwony feniks. Z impetem zaczął dziobać eNeRa po głowie. - Fenix… To znaczy pani minister! – krzyknął wzburzony minister, nie do ptaka, tylko jego właścicielki, która siedziała naprzeciw – Proszę go wziąć! - Pff!!! – prychnęła minister sprawiedliwości oraz historii KR, lepiej znana jako Fenix the Best. Pociągnęła za smycz. Jej feniks natychmiast zeskoczył ze stołu i usadowił się potulnie za nią. - eNeR, mówiłem coś do ciebie. – półgębkiem warknął Pik, poczym głośno przemówił – Panie ministrze, to jak wygląda sprawa z piosenką na Igrzyska? - Właśnie się montuje, zgodnie z wytycznymi Brukseli. – szybko odpowiedział eNeR, zezując na Fenix. Ta tylko ironicznie uśmiechała się. - No, to dobrze. – Pik pokiwał głową – A jak wygląda sprawa z nowym kodeksem kar? – teraz zwrócił się do wspomnianej już Fenix. - Bardzo dobrze, panie premierze. Pojawi się w nim kilka nowych rodzajów ostrzeżeń, jak także definicja za krótkiego, za mało treściwego i nie będącego w ogóle postem postu. – spokojnie odpowiedziała pani minister. Feniks za nią wydał z głośny krzyk – Pff! – uspokoiła go Fenix.[…] Na korytarzu prowadzącym do sali rozległ się rumor. - Co jest…? – mruknął Pik – Piotrze, sprawdź to! – rozkazał głośno ministerialnemu ochroniarzowi, ubranemu w białe prześcieradło i ciemne okulary. Ten natychmiast podszedł do drzwi, otworzył je i spojrzał na korytarz. Z tej perspektywy Pik widział kotłujący się tłum z drugiej strony. - Premierze, przybył nowy narybek! Aaa… – krzyknął Piotr i tyle go było słychać, gdyż tłum wlał się do sali, zawalając go na ziemię i depcząc. Strona 2 z 22 Premier wstał. Czuł, że nie jest dobrze… A tłum krzyczał: - my chcemy nieustraszonego znowu to super serial ojciec mateusz be skond można sciongnoć knight ridera a w tele tygodniu napisali że będzie pięć serii… Pik stał, wstrząśnięty, ale nie zmieszany. Wiedział, że właśnie teraz nadszedł najpoważniejszy kryzys, z jakim musiał się zmierzyć… Na podstawie: TS89, Kalambur zwany kryzys, Knight Rider Polska 2010. Zadanie 1.

  • Searching for Truth in the Post-Truth Era: an Examination of Detective Fiction from Poe to Present
    WATSON, DAVID RIDDLE, Ph.D. Searching for Truth in the Post-Truth Era: An Examination of Detective Fiction from Poe to Present. (2019) Directed by Dr. Christian Moraru.176 pp. During the 2016 election, terms such as “fake news” and “post-truth” became commonplace as well as talks of “two Americas,” suggesting that truth and reality were relative to one’s perspective. Trust in foundational institutions like church, school, and government has become shaky at best, leading many scholars to believe we have entered a post-truth age. In my dissertation, I attempt to tackle the question of truth by examining people whose job it is to uncover the truth: detectives. I trace a philosophical history of detective novels through three different time periods described as modern, postmodern, and contemporary in order to argue that truth is located in intersubjectivity, explaining that successful detectives, through their ability to identify another’s perspectives, can discover motive and belief in order to bring cases to closure, where others cannot. In the modern period, I examine ways in which Edgar Allan Poe’s detective August C. Dupin and Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes solve mysteries by assuming a rational world where everything is neatly ordered. This allows truth to be a function of rationality and solvable by applying logic. Following this analysis, I turn to the hard-boiled novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett to examine the way order and meaning became increasingly elusive after two world wars and the atomic bomb, leading to an existential crisis and the postmodern era.

W każdej z nich inaczej patrzono na fana. W fali dewiacji, której początek wiąże się z pierwszymi ruchami fanowskim (lata 20. XX wieku), fana traktowano jako dewianta. Uważano go za groźnego odmieńca, posiadającego pewnego rodzaju zaburzenia (czy to osobowości, czy to seksualne). Miało to swoje podstawy w podejściu ówczesnych naukowców do kultury masowej (wokół której powstawali fani). Traktowano ją jak coś gorszego, wręcz wypaczonego. Fan był też postrzegany jako marionetka w rękach producenta.19 Całkowicie inaczej ta sprawa wyglądała w czasie fali oporu (zapoczątkowanej w 1992 roku). Teraz fan był postrzegany jako partyzant w walce z producentami. Jak to wyglądało? Fan tworzył swoje własne teksty, próbował na własny sposób interpretować to, co lubi. Nie poddawał się władzy producentów, często wchodził z nimi w konflikt. Głównym narzędziem, jakie wykorzystywał, stał się Internet (jeszcze w bardzo raczkującej formie). Zmiana podejścia akademickiego miała swe główne podłoże między innymi w tym, że wielu naukowców samych ujawniało się wtedy jako fani (między innymi Henry Jenkisn ukuwa wspominane już określenie „akafan”).20 Obecnie dominuje trzecie podejście – fala głównego nurtu. Zaczęło się ono w 2006 roku (wydanie książki Jenkinsa Kultura konwergencji). Można go scharakteryzować jako pokojową koegzystencje fanów i producentów. Ci drudzy już nie chcą na siłę narzucać fanom, jak mają myśleć. Zaczynają ich słuchać i często postępować według ich rad. Fan zaś nie jest traktowany jako bierna jednostka - ale jednostka która ciągle coś tworzy.21 1.1.2 Cechy fana Główną cechą fanów jest, jak uważa Piotr Siuda, że „znaczenia przekazów kulturowych są przez nich negocjonowane, interpretowane i jakby ponownie produkowane”22, a „przyjemność i rozrywka bowiem to najważniejsza kategoria odbiorcza” którą się kierują23.

Men always wanted to be mobile through the vehicles of different kinds. Throughout time, cars became not only a means of simple transportation but a sign of hope, a symbol of status, a proof of richness etc. Different types, colors and styles were produced, and a competition occurred among the car producers to develop talented cars as well as its advertisements. In these ones, not only the car itself but also the users of such heroic cars were promoted as outstanding personalities. These unique characters had a certain charm and convincing power on the ordinary ones. Thus, how the advertisements of these new trends effect the new models and the desires of the mobility is another question to be analyzed. The use of the automobiles within the films, made some models and some styles very famous and created trends touching the mind or heart of the people. Some of these “automatic heroes” are discussed in this article. The paper aims to analyze how these autonomous cars are introduced to the masses, imposing premises and benefits, etc.

  • The Captain America Conundrum: Issues of Patriotism, Race, and Gender in Captain America Comic Books, 1941-2001
    The Captain America Conundrum: Issues of Patriotism, Race, and Gender in Captain America Comic Books, 1941-2001 by Richard A. Hall A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 6, 2011 Keywords: Captain America, comic books, patriotism, popular culture Copyright 2011 by Richard A. Hall Approved by Larry Gerber, Chair, Professor Emeritus of History Ruth Crocker, Professor of History David Carter, Associate Professor of History Abstract “The Captain America Conundrum: Issues of Patriotism, Race, and Gender in Captain America Comic Books, 1941-2001” represents a comprehensive examination of Captain America comic books as a primary source for the study of United States history from just prior to World War II to the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Just as Time magazine or the New York Times newspaper could be used as primary sources to examine American society, mores, and culture, it is the argument of this study that comic books – heretofore considered primarily children’s literature – can also be used in this regard. Through the pages of this essentially monthly publication, accepted norms of contemporary American society can be seen, as well as (post-1960) attempts on the part of the writers and artists to influence those norms. Within the zeitgeist of American culture, the character of Captain America has been considered a representation of strong government and ardent conservatism.
