Abstract

Celem artykułu była prezentacja zjawiska solidarności kobiet ujętych w kontekst Strajku Kobiet. Solidarność kobieca przedstawiona została w odniesieniu do dwóch kategorii kobiet. Pierwszej reprezentowanej przez kobiety znajdujące się w fazie ontogenetycznej, w której możliwa jest prokreacja. Druga dotyczyła tych kobiet, które nie mogą już urodzić dziecka. Analizując zebrane dane empiryczne autorce chodziło o uzyskanie odpowiedzi na pytanie o to, jaki charakter ma solidarność kobieca, zwłaszcza ta, która łączy pokolenia. Zjawisko solidarności kobiet zaprezentowane zostało w dwóch perspektywach: manifestującym się w codziennym życiu rodzin, a także mającym miejsce ze względu na wyjątkową sytuację społeczną, jaką był Strajk Kobiet.

Abstract

W konsekwencji pandemii COVID-19 pojawiły się nowe potrzeby i ujawniły dawne deficyty, a solidarność okazała się potrzebna w obszarach do tej pory niewymagających wsparcia, co zmobilizowało wiele osób do wspólnotowych postaw i aktywności. W artykule przedstawiono, jak postrzeganie i doświadczanie solidarności zmieniało się w czasie pandemii w podziale na sześć obszarów wyłonionych z materiału empirycznego: relacje i kontakt; wsparcie w sieciach społecznych i ze względu na bliskość; charytatywność; postawy obywatelskie; duchowość i ekologia. Wyniki pochodzą z jakościowego badania podłużnego, prowadzonego od marca 2020 do czerwca 2021 roku, w którym brało udział 25 osób. Kluczowe wnioski dotyczą zmiany postrzegania i doświadczania solidarności wraz z upływem czasu i wyczerpywaniem zasobów. W artykule postawiono pytania o budowanie trwałych postaw i praktyk solidarnościowych.

Abstract

Present study examines nonfinancial support granted for older people in Poland and other European countries in order to understand the relationships between family structures and that support and to diagnose the challenges that the Polish population may face in this respect in the nearest future. The analysis is based on the data from the Survey on Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The study attempts also to answer the question about the need for informal support in future generations of older Poles. The study is focused on the population of individuals aged at least 50+, because they will decide about the situation of older people in the near future. The author considers, in addition to personal care, help in running a household and help with paper work. The most frequently received type of support is the help in running a household, received primarily from neighbors and family members, which reduces the need for institutional care. Personal care is provided to the minority of the examined population, even in the highest age group, and, apart from household members, it concerns usually biological children.

Abstract

The concept of conscience is analyzed here in two different ways: the systematic and the historical-literary. As to the first, systematic perspective, I distinguish (in part 1) three levels of conscience and on every level I identify two opposite categories (conscience that is ‛individual’ versus ‛collective’; ‛emotional’ versus ‛intellectual’; ‛motivating ex ante’ versus ‛evaluating ex post’). In the second, historical-literary perspective, I analyze two literary cases of fictional characters usually thought of as being guided or affected by conscience. The first case is the ancient Greek tragedy and here I offer (in part 2) a comment on the Sophoclean Antigone and the Euripidean Orestes presenting them both as dramas that contain an exemplary formulation of the phenomenon of conscience. Although Antigone and Orestes express their main principles of action in apparently different words, I suggest (in part 3) the two poetical visions of conscience are equally based upon a highly emotional behavior called pathos by the Greek. Thereby I provide a reason, why ancient philosophers created a new concept of conscience intended as an alternative to the poetical vision of human behavior. The new philosophical concept of conscience was based upon an axiological behavior called ethos. I also coin (in part 4) a concept of the ‛community of conscience’ where I distinguish four ‛aspects of solidarity’ in conscience, namely, somebody’s own self, a group of significant persons, a group of the same moral principles, and a sameness of life. In the end I turn (in part 5) to a historical-literary case in Joseph Conrad’s last novel The Rover (1923), which provoked a lively discussion among Polish authors and seems useful as an illustration of several levels of ‛solidarity of conscience’.

Abstract

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę solidarności ekologicznej jako przejawu wartości relacyjnej z rzekami. Obecne w literaturze rozważania teoretyczne nie zostały dotąd poparte wynikami badań empirycznych. Wkładem pracy w rozwój socjologii środowiska jest zatem empiryczne zbadanie przejawów solidarności ekologicznej jako wartości relacyjnej oraz weryfikacja założeń teoretycznych na jej temat, a także wytyczenie kierunków dalszej operacjonalizacji tego pojęcia w badaniach społecznych. Podstawą osiągnięcia wskazanego celu było przeprowadzenie eksploracyjnych wywiadów jakościowych z osobami zaangażowanymi w działania na rzecz rzek w Polsce. Wyniki badań pokazują, że wskazane w literaturze trzy wymiary solidarności ekologicznej są współzależne, a wspólnie mogą motywować do działania na rzecz rzek. Zrozumienie współczesnego charakteru relacji człowieka z rzekami oraz czynników kształtujących te relacje wydaje się kluczowe dla projektowania adekwatnych rozwiązań problemów dotykających ekosystemy rzeczne w Polsce.

Abstract

Late, unlike heavy, modernity until now has been devoid of any radical project for the future. It rather makes people use a rose‑tinted past to cope with future‑oriented anxieties. Solidarity’s desire for heavy modernity demonstrates that this sickness has been around for a long time. In what ways were the people of Solidarity nostalgic, and how did modernity’s global crisis reinvigorate the “desirable heaviness of being”? “The desirable heaviness of being” depicts the phenomenon of nostalgia for postwar heavy modernity within the early Solidarity movement. The theory of post‑socialist nostalgia highlights the importance of nostalgia for the future‑oriented past of heavy modernity in appraising the system during the Solidarity period. The interplay between Solidarity, late state socialism, and the crisis of heavy modernity exemplifies Eastern Europe’s interactions with globalising economies before and after 1989. The recollections of the August Strike as well as the Solidarity trade union’s programme provide examples for the longing. The links between state socialism and the global crisis of modernity shed light on current reasons for nostalgia, which may be of interest to “rescue history”.

Abstract

Founding myths constitute the substrate of national identities and political orders. Especially in times of political change, the significance of such myths becomes clear as conflicts develop around them, in which various political forces attempt to embed the power of interpretation of a founding event in their programmes. In Poland, this is clearly demonstrated by the continuing polarizing power of political camps around the founding myths of the Third Polish Republic: „Solidarność“ and the Round Table. For that reason, they attempt to personify them to a high degree in the person of Lech Wałęsa. As a representative example, his behaviour serves as a reference for the legitimation of the political programme of the struggling political forces. By using both, the narrative of traitor and hero as sources of reference, political action is justified because of the denial or recognition of the founding myths. The only unifying dogma is once again anticommunism.

Abstract

This article discusses the question, to what extent the late and post- socialist transformation in Poland can be considered a key stage in the decline of industrial modernity. Setting out from the premise that state socialism constituted a paradigmatic version of industrial or high modernity, it addresses the major discursive rupture that preceded the regime change of 1989: While the workers’ mass movement of Solidarity had embraced political and social imagina-ries typical of industrial modernity in 1980/81, these came to be re-placed by new socio-economic and cultural frameworks by the end of the 1980s. By outlining the spectacular rise of informal trading, as well as the Polish and transnational input into the promotion of grassroot capitalism, the article indicates how Poland’s late and post-socialist transformation was intrinsically linked to the down-fall of industrial modernity and reflects on the historiographical po-tential of this approach.
