This paper presents the lesser-known aspects of Cubism in Poland in the field of both aesthetic practice and theory, staying in the shadow of the mainstream documented in a tendentious way in the canonical art history. This way it contributes to the revision of the narrow view of the artistic processes and to the remapping of the traces of cultural exchange and transformation of aesthetic and ideological patterns in a horizontal perspective between the “European margins”. As an echo of these simplifications, the national and as a consequence also the international historiography of art mostly omits the Cubist tendencies, not only in the oeuvre of Polish artistic formations apart from Cracow, but also in the aesthetic practice of the representatives of groups, which later became well known as constructivist ones, such as Katarzyna Kobro, Władysław Strzemiński or Henryk Berlewi. On the other hand, it has been often forgotten, that in the local context, due to the relatively late adaptation of Cubism into artistic praxis, it is nearly not documented in the pure form. Instead of that, one can speak about the primarily non-antagonist coexistence of the two hybrids of the “new art” – the Cubo-Expressionist and the Futuro-Dadaist one.

The contribution deals with the conception of language history as a discipline of the diachronic linguistics and also with the contents of the synthetical works on language history, the latter of which are the major task of language history. In the light of more recent works on the development of the Czech language the author gives a short description of the Polish discussion about the contents of the language history and the synthetical language history works during the last 40 years. Some fundamental postulates formulated in this debate might be useful also for the next synthetical work on Czech language history.

Among valuable documents from the Rozmberk and Svamberk archives, which are deposited in the Historica collection of the regional archive in Trebon, several hundred manuscript newspapers and news items from the 16th century have been preserved. This extensive collection contains a unique report on the Turkish policy towards the Polish-Lithuanian state. It was written by an unknown Polish reporter on his return journey from Constantinople in 1576. He wanted to warn his patron, probably a senator, against the schemes of the Ottoman government about which he had heard from spies on the Sultan's court. He accompanied his information by numerous commentaries. Thus his report provides a peek into the 16th century Polish noblemen's lives and portraits the image of the Turks in their minds. Conversely, citations by the Viziers, their reporters and advisors provide information about the way the Rzeczpospolita was regarded by foreigners. The newspaper opens with plots concerning the Black Sea region, where the Turks aspired to prevent further Cossacks' interventions. However, the Grand Vizier's hunger to pillage or conquer the Polish-Lithuanian state seemed to be much more important. The reporter dealt with this topic in the second, more extensive part of his report. With great apprehension he informed on a counsel between the Grand Vizier and an unknown Frenchman, who willingly offered his intelligence on the Polish-Lithuanian state and instigated the Turks to attack it.

The author in her article deals with the problem of modern dilemmas and ethica problems appearing in Polish medicine, showing its speciﬁcity against the background of other European countries. Among them, the biggest controversies are aroused by issues like: conscience clause, euthanasia, abortion, “testament of life” and in vitro proceedings. The author presents the most important attitudes, their sources and determinants (cultural, social, legal, ﬁnancial, ideological, and religious). She also points out that essential inﬂuence on creating bioethical solutions belongs to doctors themselves as they have a signiﬁcant autonomy in the area of moral choices. The author also emphasizes that many solutions to problems in the scope of bioethics, formalized in legal records and ethical codes, and which are obligatory in Poland, do not constitute optimal solutions for the whole or at least majority of the society. Hence, there are still numerous oﬀers to regulate it alternatively. What is important, many of them constitute an attempt referring to modern current European legislation and even a direct attempt at transferring it to the underground. In the face of growing social and economic development of Poland and closer cooperation with European countries, their sanctioning seems to be only a matter of time today, and at same time a serious challenge requiring settling a kind of consensus between requirements of Polish society and the European Union.

Carnival stands not only for the festive time set by the religious calendar, but also for all games and shows which are part of the urban pop culture. Theoretical reflection on carnivalisation, i.e. a specific model of participation in culture, was initiated by Mikhail Bakhtin. The process of progressive carnivalisation of the urban space is associated with the development of spectator folklorism on the one hand and desementisation of the folk rituals on the other, i.e. with the expansion of festive events, which create common festive activity. The author brings up examples of carnivalisation of the public space in Polish towns from the middle ages until the contemporary times when the said process was joined by local government institutions, cultural institutions and foundations, whose intention is to expose the emotional bonds with the promoted values among the participants of a common, open, street “immediate theatre”.

The article offers an analysis of the volume of financial support absorbed by agricultural holdings in Poland against the background of changes in the level of farming during the country’s EU membership (the years 2004–2009). The transfer of EUR 21 billion of assistance contributed to the development of Polish farming to a limited extent only. This was largely due to the structure of the funds being unfavourable from the point of view of the development of agriculture, in particular because of a large proportion of passive forms of EU support (area payments). Of no little importance was also the fact that some of the operational measures were intended to improve the natural environment and put farms on a non-agricultural development path rather than bring about an increase in the production level and competitiveness of agriculture.

The article presents different ways of comprehending social philosophy in Poland after 1989. That year important events set their stamp on numerous social issues in Poland and on many areas of social thought. That is why it is interesting if and how the turning point in 1989 influenced ways of comprehending social philosophy and social philosophers' theoretical self-consciousness. The presented review of standpoints allows to formulate a statement that the events of 1989 did not bring any essentially different or new ways of comprehending social philosophy in Poland.

In an introduction to a discussion about Joseph Conrad and colonialism, the authoress proposed a synthetic description of Polish encounters with Africa: from Beniowski. Szolc-Rogozinski, Sienkiewicz, Conrad, Czekanowski and Malinowski to Kapuscinski. She also recalled Poles taking photographs of Africa: starting with Jan Czekanowski, Kazimierz Zagórski and Witold Grzesiewicz, to Ryszard Kapuscinski and Chris Ledóchowski. 'The history of Poland compels her to oscillate between methods deployed by the colonialists and those of the colonised. This past is the reason why Polish encounters with exotic cultures were rarely devoid of intermediaries. The third link, a combination of a matchmaker and a duenna, were usually West European institutions. Conrad and Malinowski arrived from the peripheries and, as writers, were condemned to cosmopolitan European identity and a Polish cultural distance; they examined the world from positions which enabled them to apply encounters with the Other for creating new paradigms of ethnographic subjectivity and self-creation'.

A presentation of the course of the negotiations conducted by Poland and Romania about the revival of an alliance as well as their impact on the establishment by both those states of grounds for negotiations relating to a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union during the early 1930s. In November 1930 Soviet diplomats suggested to the Polish side a non-aggression convention. Warsaw intended to embark upon the negotiations, but at the same time wished to ensure the possibility of an identical pact with Romania and the Baltic states. While making such a proposal in Bucharest, Polish diplomats stressed the special importance of an immediate prolongation of the Polish-Romanian alliance, which terminated in March 1931. The Polish negotiators demonstrated far-going concessions, probably in order to win over Romanian support for their project of a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union. The two allies signed the guarantee treaty on 15 January, and the military convention - on 30 June 1931. After a discussion and partial acceptance of the Romanian reservations, the contents of a project of the non-aggression pact were formulated in July 1931; for each of the parties the pact was to act as a foundation for future negotiations with the USSR.

Today the traditional beliefs, customs and rites relating to the harvest time are very limited as their contemporary functions and dimension have changed. The authoress is interested in the transformation process of a harvest festival that is typical of the old rural communities. The harvest festival still crowns the labours of farming and is a form of solemn thanksgiving for harvested crops but today's celebration is not accompanied with any magical practices that would bring a good harvest next year. Ritual songs are becoming obsolete and the harvesting women, if any, no longer need any orations addressed to a landlord. The customs of baking bread and making crown-shaped wreaths have survived. The contemporary farmers associate the entire celebration with the church ceremony. Harvest festivals are organized at the local, regional and country level (the presidential Spała Harvest Festival) as well as at the religious one (diocesan harvest festivals). It is a carefully prepared show, a national holiday that attracts not only the inhabitants of the village and the people professionally involved in agriculture, but also residents of the city. Nowadays, this unique show has a number of functions. These functions are mostly highlighted in the contemporary media.

In the article was presented the conception of the history of science in the interpretation of Bogdan Suchodolski. Having described the conception of the history of science created by George Sarton (1884 - 1956), whose thought was influenced by positivistic philosophy of August Comte, the idea of the history of science of Johan Nordstrom (1891 - 1967), who was inspired by the system of Wilhelm Dilthey, and the materialistic conception of the history of science, which was represented, among others, by John Desmond Bernal (1901 - 1971), the author is making an attempt at revealing to what extent Bogdan Suchodolski was inspired by the above-mentioned visions of the history of science. Having defined the history of science as the history of scientific activity of people and their consciousness formed by the activity, Bogdan Suchodolski applied in the field of his own conception of the history of science the ideas that were put forward by German thinkers and philosophers, and were connected with a way of understanding culture as the constant development of national awareness, which can be exemplified with different dimensions of culture. Undoubtedly, identifying the history of Polish science with constitutive element of the history of national culture and paying attention to the conceptions tending not only to explaining, but also understanding phenomena, B. Suchodolski was influenced by Alfred Vierkandt's and Wilhelm Dilthey's thought. The present article includes several reflections on the conception of the history of science, which was created by B. Suchodolski. Among others, we can find here detailed information on how B. Suchodolski understood: the history of science, its subject, aim and methodology; its status in modern social consciousness and as the history of truth; relations between history of science and theory of science and scientific policy, history of science and the problem of unity and diversity of scientific thinking, history of science and ideas, history of culture and technology, and sources of scientific progress.

The article presents the history of the cult of the state patron from the royal dynasty, and the sources and prototypes of the worshipping tradition of the holy rulers. Furthermore, the article seeks to answer the question whether the circumstances that had shaped the cults of the holy rulers in the 10th -12th and 16th -17th centuries could cause immense differences in the hagiography as well as iconography of the rulers, and analyses the ways in which the cult of Saint Prince Casimir of the Early Modern Times is similar to related medieval holy rulers. Political development of Lithuania during the 14th century was very similar to the growth of pagan states during earlier centuries. The Hungarians was the last Central European nation to have converted to Christianity. From the point of view of acceptance of Christianity in Hungary, the cult of St. Stephen was developing under the circumstances similar to the Lithuanian worshipping tradition of St. Casimir. The Christian world received the news that with the help of St. Casimir Catholicism took roots in the state where the seed of the Evangel had only recently sprouted. Baroque hagiography of St. Casimir took over the virtues that had been highlighted throughout the Middle Ages. The images, rhetoric figures and symbols that had taken shape in the Middle Ages were again emphasized, reiterated and used in his worshipping tradition. The article seeks to reveal the way how the worshipping of Prince Casimir acquired the features typical of state patrons, and how his cult integrated into the tradition of devotion to European holy rulers.

The article is devoted to the role of risk in tourist experience. It particularly concentrates on risk as a figure of travel narratives, the identity boundaries marker. The empirical material comes from a study on Polish niche tourism to the countries of the former USSR, the rarely chosen destination in post-1989 Poland. The niche status of tourists is defined by the choice of destination and the mode of travel (budget self-organized tourism usually involving some contacts with nature and local dwellers). Risk is present in tourist accounts yet it is not central – the interlocutors do not see themselves as adventure tourists. The theoretical models of risk are presented in the second part of the article to the end of establishing the cultural and historically specific meanings of risk such as uncertainty or change as well as the correlation between risk and control, including control over one’s destiny. In the final part of the article the empirical material is analyzed through the lens of presented theoretical models. The strategy of backgrounding risk in narratives serves several goals. It produces counter-hegemonic (affirmative) representations of the visited region; it also creates the image of tourists as exceptional and different thus boosting their social status at home. The side effect of these strategies of risk presentation is however the image of the countries of the former USSR as pre-modern, outdated and pristine, as opposed to the (late) modern sophisticated Europe, with which the tourists associate themselves.
