The area of the author’s investigations is the new study paradigm, known as the new sociology of childhood, formulated at the end of the 20th century. The subject of the author’s interest is one of the currents, known as the new wave, which the author considers in the context of modernism, out of which the current of the new wave has emerged, and postmodernism, which constitutes the significant intellectual background for it. The objective of the article is to depict the way of understanding both the child and childhood contained within the investigative current of the new wave, which has enabled the child to be considered as a fully dimensional and biological, psychological and social being, as well as adaptation of the holistic understanding of childhood as a phenomenon within which culture meets nature, whereas what is social inextricably intertwines with what is natural. The author discusses the modernistic dichotomies, the criticism of which has contributed to the emergence of the new wave of study, within the context of the assumptions of the new sociology of childhood. The author presents conceptual categories which make it possible to get out of dichotomy when describing and analyzing childhood. At the end of the article the author indicates the implications of the assumptions of the new wave analyzed in the article for education of the child.

The threads binding the poetry of Vladimir Vysotsky with Russian and foreign literature have a diverse character – some convergences, similarities of his works to those of other authors can be identifi ed in the content, the subject, and the metre of the poems. Some of the literary associations are easily detectable for any recipient, others are more diffi cult to fi nd. The article focuses on the identifi ed links between the works of Vysotsky and those of foreign authors such as Pierre-Jean de Béranger, Robert Burns, and Bertolt Brecht. The convergences observed between Vysotsky’s and de Béranger’s poems, in the subject, form, and metre, indicate the affi nity of the way of thinking and ideals, as well as both poets’ love of freedom, despite the 150 year gap between their birth dates. The presented links with literature of the 18th, 19th, and 20th century widen the opportunities for interpreting the works of Vladimir Vysotsky.

The aim of this study is the reconstruction of children’s toys received by them during the Christmas period in the second half of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century. In its subject matter, the article refers, on the one hand, to the deliberations about Christmas toys and, on the other hand, it is part of the ever-growing trend of research on children’s toys from the historical and pedagogical perspective. The text is part of the triptych prepared by the authors on the subject of children’s Christmas toys during the period of Partitions of Poland. Selected iconographic sources – press graphics, Christmas postcards and photographs on which children’s toys can be found, comprise the source basis of this part. They are sources important for cognitive reasons, because they show the image of toys of the time, their appearance, shape, size, the way they were made, decorated, etc. They also indicate which toys were particularly popular (fashionable) and liked by children in the analysed period, and show the ways they were used.

The tension between one's private life and larger public obligations has been the subject of much speculation, captured powerfully in works as diverse as those of Alexis de Tocqueville and Robert Putnam. This matter is explored to an extent not previously undertaken in a study of Americans' interpersonal ties and civic attachments at the end of the 20th century. Evidence from the GSS for 1974, 1984, and 1994 suggests that a person's gender, race, age, education, occupation, and mobility became a little more strongly associated with the way one socialized informally and less strongly associated with the kinds of organizations one joined. Regardless of where they live or what generation they came from, Americans have managed the tension between their private lives and broader public duties better and more creatively than we could have imagined.

Although William of Newburgh’s 12th-century chronicle Historia rerum Anglicarum regularly appears in scholarly papers, researchers focus their attention only on a small portion of the text. They write either about the famous prologue, in which the chronicler criticises Geoffrey of Monmouth for making up a fantastic history of ancient Britain, or about the extraordinary tales of the dead rising from their graves. This apparent contradiction — a critical and rational author writing about unreal beings — has not attracted much attention. William applied the same criticism with regard to Geoffrey and the information he had about th e revenants. This is visible when the chronicler’s tales are placed against a broader background of other narratives about revenants. What also deserves closer scrutiny is the structure of the chronicle and the way in which William introduced the various stories. As a result it will become obvious that in the case of this chronicle we are dealing with a deliberately structured narrative in which the author regularly uses stories he regards are true in order to illustrate good and bad deeds. For him, these are not fictional constructs, but events the status of which is determined on the basis of accounts by reliable witnesses. He approaches them carefully and determines their veracity, looking for other information about the subject. Whenever he has — from our 20th-century perspective — a rational explanation of an extraordinary event, he recounts it. However, in the same way he also confirms the veracity of the stories about revenants.

Performance art, recognized in the second half of the 20th century as niche and alternative, is currently perceived as one of the most popular genres of contemporary art. The difference that has raised due to the development of performance art is evident not only in the way a performance is created, but mainly in changing the perception of the work of art. The opening of the Marina Abramović Institute and the performance The Artist Is Present, became the main turning point showing this change. The aim of this article is to present how the art of Marina Abramović, which she consistently created for more than four decades, evolves in the works of the new generations of performers. Qualitative research based on film, interviews, exhibitions and publications related to the subject is the base for these considerations.

Levantine immigration to Chile started during the last quarter of the 19th century. This immigration, almost exclusively male at the outset, changed at the beginning of the 20th century when women started following their fathers, brothers, and husbands to the New World. Defining the role and status of the Arab woman within her community in Chile has never before been tackled in a detailed study. This article attempts to broach the subject by looking at Arabic newspapers published in Chile between 1912 and the end of the 1920s. A thematic analysis of articles dealing with the question of women or written by women, appearing in publications such as Al-Murshid, Asch-Schabibat, Al-Watan, and Oriente, will be discussed.

The authors, basing on a critical analysis of the experience of planning during the 20th century in a number of countries of Europe and Asia, and also on the lessons from the economics of "real socialism", set out to substantiate their conclusions on the advisability of "reloading" this institution. The aim is to create planning mechanisms, suited to the new economy, that incorporate forecasting, projections, direct and indirect selective regulation and so forth into integral programs of economic development and that set a vector of development for particular limited spheres of what remains on the whole a market economy. New planning institutions presuppose a supersession of the forms of bureaucratic centralism and a reliance on network forms of organization of the subject and process of planning.

The article provides a comparative analysis of the influence of L.N. Tolstoy and I.I. Sergiev (John of Kronstadt) on the formation of personal worldview in Russian society. The analysis is based on the testimonies of the contemporaries and the previously not reissued publication of “Novy Put” (“New Way”) journal on the subject. In the context of the declared problematics, special attention is paid to the question of transformation of religious consciousness in the course of the personality formation in relation to the period under consideration (the beginning of the 20th century). The author reveals and analyzes the main components of the life stand of Tolstoy and Father John of Kronstadt in the context of their influence on contemporaries. The results of the study allow to reveal the following antitheses that characterize Tolstoy and John of Kronstadt, respectively: doubt - faith, search for oneself – following the once chosen path, preaching of non-resistance as part of the philosophy of not-doing (not doing evil) – preaching of active upholding of faith (doing good), “simple living” – real life with and for common people.

Abstract The 2016 much acclaimed American sci-fi movie Arrival is based on (what is in reality an extension of) the so-called “Sapir-Whorf” hypothesis, a linguistic theory set forth in the first half of the 20th century, according to which one’s native language dictates the way in which one perceives reality. By taking into account the latest in human knowledge, this paper tries to provide arguments as to why such a claim works wonderfully in fiction, but not in science.
