The paper discusses the activities involved in the process of creating a digital thematic repository focusing on historical cartographic and textual sources. On the basis of the thematic repository created as part of the project “Shaping the borders of Independent Poland in the light of cartographic documents”, the author presents proposals for solutions aimed at effective management of the various materials, as well as allowing users easy access to specific information. It provides an overview of the issues identified in the context of identifying, selecting, digitising and sharing digital copies of sources of relevance to humanities and social sciences research. With regard to the digitisation of cartographic sources, the article examines the challenges of adapting the technology to meet the diverse needs of information retrieval. In addition, it addresses issues related to the development of metadata and the integration of different types of sources. The article also addresses issues related to maintaining and updating the digital repository, with a particular focus on ensuring the sustainability of the project. The conclusions of the completed project allow us to identify best practices in the process of creating and managing a digital thematic repository, which can be a valuable tool for researchers, students, and cultural heritage institutions.

The article aims to look for a way to geographically delineate the notion of target culture in thelanguage textbook “The World We Live in” by Ogasawara et al. (2013) published in Japan for Japanesestudents and teachers. Looking at the textbooks as cultural artefacts, we identified geographical space withinthe scope of the sample textbook and analysed the pedagogical context the place names appeared in. Bydoing that we attempt to find the spatial bias of the book, which is a manifestation of values there inscribed,often called the “hidden curriculum”. The elaborated method, following a seminal study by Risager (2018), isan attempt to adapt the proposed content analysis of the textbooks into GIS tools in order to capture the geographic dimension of the content. The method serves as a stepping stone towards the creation of a model toanalyse and identify the attitudes toward the cultural content of educational materials. This will not only enablea more authentic classroom experience responding to the needs of particular groups of students and teachersbut also look for ways to make the textbooks more inclusive.

In the relativistic world of the 21st century, if the Bauhaus would still be upheld as doctrine, we must face the truth: it can hardly be considered a provocation. Rather, we most often find ourselves caught between contradictory wishes to preserve an intact past and to make sense of a resolute avant-gardism. This paper proposes that the Bauhaus, as a discursive knowledge body, be structuralistically analyzed with Foucauldian Discourse Analysis. Our claim is substantiated by: first, that a F oucaultian concept of discourse offers an alternative to the practice of history and theory; second, that the publication of Bauhaus reveals a discursive structure in a F oucaultian sense; third, that discourse-analysis-search-engine can perform the analysis on the Bauhaus corpus, contributing to emergent epistemological positions; fourth, that this revealed structure of discourse could be mapped and re-materialized to invite interferences on today’s territory of Bauhaus Discourse. The research and development process in the accompanying project “Bauhaus Orbits – scenographic apparatus for discourse analysis” (bauhausorbits.de) will be discussed.

Domain and chronologisation index. However, the main focus of the article is the interdisciplinary popular-scientific blog Re-research.pl. The daily blog posts include texts on a variety of subjects, ranging from linguistics, history and folklore to computer science. Selected posts and categories of posts are discussed, such as chronologisational challenges, texts devoted to folklore and materials on the structure of text files. Apart from providing daily analyses, the blog promotes other projects and serves as a dialogue platform for representatives of various fields.
