Celem artykułu jest ukazanie głównych wyzwań antropocenu dla językoznawstwa oraz wynikający z nich kierunek rozwoju ekolingwistyki w stronę konsiliencji, rozumianej jako idea systematycznego poszukiwania zależności przyczynowych między zjawiskami z różnych dziedzin wiedzy. Integracyjny model ekolingwistyki, który jest budowany od niespełna dekady, zostanie przedstawiony w powiązaniu z najtrudniejszymi problemami poznawczymi „epoki człowieka”, do których zalicza się przełamywanie antropocentryzmu oraz problematyzowanie pojęcia natury. Odpowiedzią ekolingwistów jest sformułowanie zasady nielokalności języka oraz jego znaturalizowany ogląd w hipotezie rozszerzonej ekologii. Z tymi nowymi ideami wiążą się nadzieje na to, że ekolingwistyka nie będzie traktowana jako tematyczny dział językoznawstwa, a stanie się awangardą w takim myśleniu o języku, które dotrzyma kroku trudnym wyzwaniom antropocenu. Ecolinguistics in the Anthropocene Era: Towards Integration and Consilience Summary: The aim of the paper is to present the main challenges that the Anthropocene presents to linguistics, and discuss the subsequent development of ecolinguistics towards consilience, understood as the idea of a systematic search for causal relationships between phenomena from various fields of science. The integrative model of ecolinguistics, which has been built for less than a decade, will be presented in relation to the most difficult cognitive problems of the Human Era, such as the overcoming of anthropocentrism and the addressing of the concept of nature. The solution proposed by ecolinguists is the principle of the non-locality of language and the nature-oriented view of language that follows the Extended Ecology Hypothesis. These new ideas will, hopefully, lead to considering ecolinguistics not so much as a thematic branch of linguistics, but as the avant-garde in such thinking about language that will keep pace with the challenges of the Anthropocene.

Film Form

By the 1920s, new ideas regarding film as the seventh art disseminated in Europe had a profound effect on Brazilian literature, specifically the emergence of an avant-garde literary movement known as modernismo, or “modernism.” Charting the new theories regarding cinema as an art form, this chapter examines how they were appropriated and elaborated by modernist writers in Brazil in the 1920s, most notably in the novels of Oswald de Andrade, the poetry of Mário de Andrade, and an urban chronicle by Antônio de Alcântara Machado called Pathé Baby. In examining this experimental literature, the chapter shows how new international ideas regarding film form and aesthetics provided the modernist writers with a tool for critiquing the official trajectory of national modernity in Brazil.

Born in 1922 in Richmond, Virginia, Nell Blaine was a rebellious only child, a loner fussed over by her mother. Her early years were plagued by serious vision problems, finally corrected in her teens. She was active in extracurricular clubs in both high school and college, where she encountered avant-garde art for the first time. Although she had to drop out of college after two years for financial reasons, she took an evening class in painting that helped her connect with new ideas in art. Meanwhile, she worked at an advertising agency, gaining experience that would stand her in good stead years later when she needed to earn a living. At age twenty, she left for Manhattan, ignoring the pleas and threats of her mother.

Depth Analysis

This chapter explains the Napolas’ significance within the Nazi state, laying out the main arguments of the book as a whole. It sketches the programmatic intentions of the key figures involved in the schools’ founding and subsequent development—Reich Education Minister Bernhard Rust, and NPEA-Inspectors Joachim Haupt and August Heißmeyer. It also provides an overview of relevant sources and secondary literature, as well as a brief summary of the schools’ overall aims and ethos. Put simply, we can see the Napolas as a microcosm in which many of the Third Reich’s most fundamental tendencies can be found in magnified form. The schools aimed to realize the more ‘Socialist’ elements of National Socialism by providing free or heavily subsidized places for children from working-class families, whilst also forming pupils into the avant-garde of the Volksgemeinschaft (the Nazi national community defined by race). All in all, in-depth analysis of the Napolas proves the worth of treating educational history as contemporary history, rather than leaving it languishing on the sub-disciplinary margins of historical enquiry.

Japanese Art

Japanese art critics of the 1950s perceived the locus of a new materialist aesthetics in the new trends of informal abstraction emanating from the United States and France. This revealed a stark contrast with the idea of individual freedom that informed North-American discourse on Abstract Expressionism. Focusing on the writings of Miyakawa Atsushi, Haryū Ichirō, and Segi Shinichi, this article explores the political significance of the question of matter in Japanese postwar art criticism and indicates its importance for the subsequent development of avant-garde art in 1960s Japan.

<p align="JUSTIFY"><span lang="en-GB">In this article I reflect on Ibsen's laborious road to the Dutch stages to display the reciprocal influence between innovating theatre plays and the process of a modernizing society. In doing this I take into account insights from translation theory and the thinking on cultural mediation, whereby cultural transmission is seen as a way of interacting: the receiving culture’s receptivity towards new ideas and new forms is crucial for the space available for innovative literature from abroad. </span></p><p align="JUSTIFY"><span lang="en-GB">Tracking Ibsen on the Dutch stages shows a wavelike movement.

It indicates that in the fifties this audience was intellectually and artistically conservative. Tracking Ibsen on the stages after 1970 shows us the current multicultural society; it shows us a renewed interest in his female characters, which culminates with Nora. It shows us an increasing number of women directors in Dutch theatres, also in advanced theatre school performances. Present-day Dutch theatres and their audiences seem to be mostly interested in Ibsen’s theatre women, be it his female characters or the relatively new phenomenon of women directing his plays. Their experiments with his texts are highly appreciated and show a renewed interest in public debate, re-establishing the discussion that was aroused in the first period of staging Ibsen in the Netherlands. The experiments with Ibsen’s “old” female characters by his “new” women directors form a most important ingredient of his modernity and sustainability, both where content (feminism = noraism) and where form are concerned. It is these women who confirm Ibsen’s position as an author of today’s world. </span></p>

The Impact

In 1891, a private art school led by Anton Ažbe (1862–1905), a Slovenian artist and teacher, opened in Munich. A lot of artists from all over the world studied at the school during its operation. Anton Ažbe’s approach to teaching, which was based on the “Sphere Principle” and the “Crystallization of Color Principle”, influenced stylistic development of the European and Russian art in the late 19th – early 20th centuries. The distinctive feature of Ažbe’s method was a combination of thorough technical skill training and openness to new ideas, which would bring out students’ personal creative talents. The school's alumni were later engaged in quite different areas of style, including the avant-garde. This paper offers brief overviews of the artistic careers of Ažbe’s most famous South Slavic students — Slovenes, Serbs and Croats; it also discusses some aspects of their relationships with their teacher and analyzes the impact of Ažbe’s teaching method on their stylistic development. Thus, the oeuvre of the Slovenian Impressionists R. Jakopič, I. Grohar, M. Yama and M. Sternen, of the Croatian painters J. Račić and O. Hermann and of the Serbian artist N. Petrović have been consistently examined. The author concludes that the Ažbe’s South Slavic students consistently introduced elements of his painting principles into the art of Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia.

The One

The establishment of new independent states in Central and Eastern Europe after 1918 not only brought changes in European geopolitical reality, but also initiated many cultural processes, stimulated by the need for modernisation of the region. They aimed at strengthening the identity of individual states based on their civilizational advancement. It was possible thanks to political independence, which many central European nations gained for the first time in their history. Their expected growth was not only to confirm their right of existence, but also of being among the leading states in Europe. Within the Old Continent the central and eastern part of Europe turned out to be a domain of modernisation par excellence. Here its progression, on the one hand, was most awaited, on the other – raised the greatest controversy. Arts and artists had their particular role in this process; it was their mission to spread the new ideas, calling for a change of the status quo. Instead of simply adopting the already existing patterns of modernity they tried, however, to work out their original concepts of reforms, based on an attempt to reconcile modernity with traditional values, which were found worth preserving within individual cultures. These processes were supported by representatives of both the avant-garde and the more moderate modernisation, which resulted in peaceful coexistence of radical programmes and endeavours to find conservative definitions of modernism. “New Europe” in the years 1918–1939 was in favour of modernity, pursuing consistently civilizational advancement, with the good use of tools brought about by the new political reality and, first and foremost, the national independence gained by many states in the aftermath of World War I.

Non Locality

In this paper we make an extensive description of quantum non-locality, one of the most intriguing and fascinating facets of quantum mechanics. After a general presentation of several studies on this subject dealing with different but connected facets of quantum non-locality, we consider if this, and the friction it carries with special relativity, can eventually find a “solution” by considering higher dimensional spaces.
