Teorie – Interpretacje – Praktyka (Contemporary Culture: K Theories – Interpretations – Practice) is an academic quarterly jointly published by the Polish Cultural Studies Association and the National Centre for Culture. Appearing regularly since 1993, it quite recently celebrated its twenty-fi fth an- niversary with the 2018 one-hundredth issue, which provided an opportunity for narratives summarising not only the past and present of cultural studies in Poland but also the past and present form of the journal itself. From the beginning of its existence, the journal’s goal has been to analyse the most recent cultural processes and phenomena in their context – regional, national as well as universal, since reflection in cultural studies cannot be done well without knowledge of global cultural processes. Contemporary Culture has also tried to account for the methodological context of cultural research, mostly by way of – often transformative and critical – reception of the fi ndings of the humanities worldwide. The quarterly has been highly successful, on the one hand, in identifying the most interesting trends in global cultural and scientifi c thought. On the other hand, it often succeeded in setting new trends for the more intimate circle of its readers. Thus – from its inception until today – the journal has continued to be an important Polish platform for the exchange of ideas and knowledge, substantive (concerning all aspects of contemporary culture) as well as epistemological and methodological (associated with the presentation of emerging and evolving research approaches). Special attention is deserved in this regard by one of the most remarkable rela- tionships connected with these two levels on which the journal has been operat- ing. I mean by that, to put it most briefly, the various cross-disciplinary marriages of cultural studies. They are manifested in the institutional affi liations of both the authors of the journal and the readers who choose it, precisely due to their research, as well as non-research, interests. Of course, this tendency is not a ques- tion of hastily constructed interdisciplinarity but of fundamental changes in the 7 institutional and methodological footing of cultural studies, and the increasingly blurred lines between particular areas of social and human sciences. Contempo- rary culture – as a research object – required with increasing intensity a perspec- tive capable of grasping its complex ‘nature’. Contemporary Culture – as a medium presenting reflection on this topic – has been a witness to those changes and a sui generis experimental fi eld in the transformations undergone by the discipline: from its beginnings rooted in the conventional study of culture to the deeply transdisciplinary present. We are convinced that the sheer number of authors who have published their papers in the more than one hundred issues of our jour- nal has contributed, on the one hand, to the solidifi cation of Polish cultural stud- ies and, on the other hand, to their popularisation. Over the last few years, the themes of particular issues have been selected in open competitions. This guarantees that the editors (the competition winners) and the authors that they invite will speak/write about matters that they fi nd to be of most urgent importance to culture today. This special issue, however, fol- lowed a different path: the presented articles were selected by the Editorial Board among the journal’s best, most valuable, most read, and most quoted papers of the recent years. For almost three decades, Contemporary Culture has been a crucial medium familiarising the Polish reader with the key developments (ideas, books, artistic events) in the global humanities. Now – without giving up those founding ambitions – we would like to modify the direction of information flow and widen our readership. We sincerely hope that this English-language issue reaches read- ers beyond our culture and language area and also beyond the Polish institutional Koschany ł context of cultural studies. With this initiative, the quarterly has come full circle: from facilitating the Polish reception of the international context to presenting Rafa both the emerging and well-established achievement of Polish cultural studies to the international reader. This special issue is divided into two thematic sections. The fi rst one is devot- ed predominantly to methodology. It focuses on identifying the distinguishing features of cultural studies as an academic discipline. This is done in terms of historical reconstruction and recapitulation (texts by Krzysztof Łukasiewicz and Ewa Kosowska) but also synchronically, so to speak, in terms of reflection on to- day’s status of the fi eld and possible directions of its development. The papers chosen for this section clearly show that ‘theoretical’ cultural studies today de- mand an empirical component. One of the forms this tendency has taken on is ‘in-culture diagnosis’, postulated as a transdisciplinary research method subor- dinated to the researcher’s (self-)reflexivity (see Marta Kosińska’s article). A simi- lar feedback loop is also to be observed in Piotr Filipkowski’s text. Based on his own projects concerning the life histories of former concentration and forced labour camp prisoners, he reflects on the boundary conditions differentiating a ‘successful’ oral history research project from an ‘unsuccessful’ one. Another implementation of ‘the concept of pragmatic research’ (as proposed in their paper by Tomasz Kukołowicz and Rafał Wiśniewski) is closer to what might be termed ‘diagnosis of culture’. The authors concentrate on methodological considerations 8 about various relations between studies of cultural life and those devoted to cultural policy. The second section is more analytical in character, even though reflection on research and description methods is an indispensable element of each of the pre- sented texts. Above all, however, these contributions’ common trait is that they all treat the aspects of culture they discuss as objects in statu nascendi and, si- multaneously, oriented towards future and development. That is probably one of the reasons why the authors formulate reservations that need to be voiced within such discussions: the pace of changes, the elusiveness and fluidity of the studied ‘objects’, fears associated with particular paths of development, etc. And so, the classical cultural studies topic of the city is analysed here by Magdalena Matysek-Imielińska in reference to urban utopias and Tim Ingold’s theory. Re- nata Tańczuk poses questions about the status of new technological beings and tries to identify the everyday fears caused by emerging technologies, including fears for the loss of human autonomy. One of the elements of contemporary, or perhaps already future, culture is of course art. Its possible directions of develop- ment in the context of artifi cial intelligence are pondered by Piotr Zawojski. At the same time,

Boettke, George Mason University, USA New Thinking in Political Economy aims to encourage scholarship in the intersection of the disciplines of politics, philosophy and economics. It has the ambitious purpose of reinvigorating political economy as a progressive force for understanding social and economic change. The series is an important forum for the publication of new work analysing the social world from a multidisciplinary perspective. With increased specialization (and profes- sionalization) within universities, interdisciplinary work has become increasingly uncommon. Indeed, during the 20th century, the process of disciplinary specialization reduced the intersection between economics, philosophy and politics and impoverished our understanding of society. Modern economics in particular has become increasingly mathematical and largely ignores the role of institutions and the contribution of moral philosophy and politics. New Thinking in Political Economy will stimulate new work that combines technical knowledge provided by the ‘dismal science’ and the wisdom gleaned from the serious study of the ‘worldly philosophy’. The series will reinvigorate our understanding of the social world by encouraging a multidisciplinary approach to the challenges confronting society in the new century. Titles in the series include: Economic Futures of the West Jan Winiecki Entrepreneurial Action, Public Policy, and Economic Outcomes Edited by Robert F.

  • Expanding Photography – Flusser and Polish Intermedia Photography
    FLUSSER STUDIES 27 Marianna Michałowska Expanding photography – Flusser and Polish intermedia photography In 1991, the Second East-West Photoconference “European Exchange” in the gallery Photo- Medium-Art took place. The meeting consisted of two parts: an exhibition titled “New Spaces of Photography” and a symposium “Ethos of Photography”. The organizers, Jerzy Olek and Romuald Kutera gathered artists and photography theoreticians both from Poland and beyond “an Iron Curtain”. Among the invited guests were Gottfried Jäger, Joan Fontcuberta, Antonin Dufek and Stefan Morawski. There was also Vilém Flusser. Although he ultimately did not reach Wrocław, he sent the text of his lecture. He wrote in it: “This is my first invitation to speak in what used to be Eastern Europe” (Flusser 1991: 24). Flusser's concepts fit perfectly into the way of thinking about photographic images that became the leading trend in Central Europe in the 1990s. His observations concerning the creative role of a photographer, the concept of the universe of technical images, a community of fields of art based on media and, above all, resistance against the domination of media, found a positive feedback among artists whose art originated in conceptual, performative and “expanded photography” approaches. It also created a good foundation for cooperation between artists and academics. Andreas Müller-Pohle, the publisher of European Photography magazine, represented contemporary creative photography, curating exhibitions and attending conferences in the 1990s. He had a significant role in the warm reception of Flusser's philosophy in Poland1. This does not mean, of course, that Flusser's philosophy was attractive only to photographers.

Miczka, A. Madej (red.), "Syndrom konformizmu? : kino polskie lat sześćdziesiątych" (S. 195-219). Katowice : Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego PIOTR ZAWOJSKI Wiesław Dymny — wszystko ma dobry koniec, czyli śmierć „On nie mówi po to, aby komuś dawać dobre rady, on to mówi, bo ma taką potrzebę; potrzebę, żeby wszystkim opowiedzieć, jak mu się wiodło i nie wiodło.” W. Dymny: Pieśń nad pieśniami 1. Malarz, prozaik, poeta, aktor, scenograf, karykaturzysta, sce­ narzysta — to tylko część profesji artystycznych, jakie wyko­ nywał Wiesław Dymny. W różnych okresach twórczości kolejne dziedziny wysuwały się na czoło, zmieniała się hierarchia waż­ ności poszczególnych form aktywności artystycznej. Właściwie tylko kabaretowi pozostawał wierny przez całe swoje dorosłe życie. To w kabarecie właśnie debiutował jako autor tekstów w roku 1956. „Kabaret Studentów”, „Remiza” i ten najważniej­ szy: „Piwnica pod Baranami”. Dwudziestoletni wtedy Dymny od kilku już lat był studentem krakowskiej Akademii Sztuk Pięk­ nych i to malarstwo było dlań w tym okresie zasadniczą formą wypowiedzi artystycznej. Na czwartym roku studiów, na podsta­ 196 Piotr Zawojski wie przedstawionych prac, został członkiem Związku Polskich Artystów Plastyków. W tym też czasie, czyli w roku 1958, po­ jawiają się pierwsze publikacje w „Zebrze”, „Tygodniku Pow­ szechnym”, „Przekroju”, w tymże roku otrzymuje Dymny wy­ różnienie za dwa opowiadania w konkursie „Współczesności”. Wydaje się, że te pierwsze literackie sukcesy mogły być po­ wodem przerwania studiów, które podejmie wkrótce, ale osta­ tecznie uczelni nie ukończy. Niewątpliwie przyczyni się do tego również rozpoczęcie współpracy z filmem i telewizją.

It encompasses the digital records of technical devices and digital software and paintings by Rembrandt or the record-breaking achievements of the Paralympics, or a cosmic black hole. The subject discussed here concerns problems customarily qualified as belonging to scientific, technical issues, which concern measurable problems and phenomena. However, it also refers to essential problems of man, who is the model and subject of humanist explorations. Architecture pertains to the art of building and shaping space, and therefore its very name indicates discrepancies and oppositions, for the pendulum that swings towards the most technical measure, that is construction, swings equally far towards aestheticization, artistry and art, while also dealing with such indefinable matter as space can only present.
