„i / ta wielka łapka / na ludzi” – o podmiocie w poezji Ewy Lipskiej

The article concerns the idea of the subject’s evolution in the poetry of Ewa Lipska. The article presents the unexplored path of subjectivity’s development in selected poems by this Cracovian poet. The main research concept regards the interpretation of particular poems from the perspective of current philosophical problems, connected with posthumanism, which is understood here as the ability to go beyond the bounds of humanism, a revision of previous humanistic assumptions. The essential change of direction in the reception of Ewa Lipska’s writings could be perceived as a result of the interpretation contained in this article.

Mapowanie kanonu. Literatura polska w perspektywie światowej

The article discusses the research proposal presented in Światowa historia literatury polskiej. Interpretacje [World History of Polish Literature. Interpretations], edited by Magdalena Popiel, Tomasz Bilczewski and Stanley Bill. Mikołajczak contrasts the research concept of world literature with the dominant approaches to the world literature in the area of contemporary literary studies and the traditional model of the history of literature. She reflects on the situation of Polish literature in the world, taking into account the ways in which Polish works circulate in other cultural circles, the possibilities and limitations of translation as well as shifts within the canon. She also indicates the opportunities that open up for Polish literature in the global context.

A 5-km-thick reservoir with >380,000 km3 of magma within the ancient Earth's crust

Several recent studies have argued that large, long-lived and molten magma chambers1–10 may not occur in the shallow Earth’s crust11–23. Here we present, however, field-based observations from the Bushveld Complex24 that provide evidence to the contrary. In the eastern part of the complex, the magmatic layering was found to continuously drape across a ~4-km-high sloping step in the chamber floor. Such deposition of magmatic layering implies that the resident melt column was thicker than the stepped relief of the chamber floor. Prolonged internal differentiation within such a thick magma column is further supported by evolutionary trends in crystallization sequence and mineral compositions through the sequence. The resident melt column in the Bushveld chamber during this period is estimated to be >5-km-high in thickness and >380,000 km3 in volume. This amount of magma is three orders of magnitude larger than any known super-eruptions in the Earth’s history25 and is only comparable to the extrusive volumes of some of Earth’s large igneous provinces26. This suggests that super-large, entirely molten and long-lived magma chambers, at least occasionally, occur in the geological history of our planet. Therefore, the classical view of magma chambers as ‘big magma tanks’1–10 remains a viable research concept for some of Earth’s magmatic provinces.

Conceptualising public sector innovation: Introducing the lens of the epistemological, pragmatic and normative dimensions

Innovation is a relatively new concept in the public sector, and there is currently no broad agreement regarding how to understand and conceptualise it. This article assumes that a central role for research is to critically scrutinise and discuss what research does—or could do—when applying the concept of public sector innovation, especially because innovation has become a powerful organising metaphor for policy and practice. The article initiates a meta-conceptual inquiry and discussion of public sector innovation as a research concept, suggesting a method of conceptual clarification for future research by breaking the concept down into different dimensions. Methodologically, the article conducts a meta-conceptual analysis and inquiry into research positions and discussions in public sector innovation, thus reflecting the academic activity/enterprise of conceptualising. By discussing selected literature from the public sector innovation field, three conceptual dimensions emerge: epistemological, pragmatic and normative dimensions. These dimensions refer to questions about what kind of knowledge the concept of public sector innovation represents, what its pragmatic or practical implications are and which normative or value dimensions the concept implies. Finally, the concluding discussion highlights questions for research(ers) to address in future reflections on the conceptualisation of public sector innovation.

Public Policy in Improving the Self-Learning Curriculum based on Social Entrepreneurship and Local Wisdom

Public Policy is a factor in supporting or hindering situations in Independent learning activities and the concept of entrepreneurial activities are a unique collaboration, but based on 8 activities in independent learning, there is no mentioned in explicit of social entrepreneurship that intersects with local wisdom of a region, while social entrepreneurship is a concept that can solve social problems with a business approach. An ideal social entrepreneurship, directed and sustainable can be carried out through higher education activities oriented to the development of social entrepreneurship. Graduates are expected to become agents of change who can make a socio-economic contribution by providing new opportunities for the community. The purpose of this study was to identify, photograph, identify and map the development of an independent learning curriculum based on social entrepreneurship in universities, especially the Economics and Business faculties of all universities in Bali Province. The research method is descriptive qualitative, while the determination of the sample is carried out by the saturated sampling method (all members of the population are members of the sample). Data collection uses a combination of approaches that include surveys, observations, field studies, and interviews. The results obtained a research concept model related to IL-IC by adopting social entrepreneurship and Balinese local wisdom.

Using Concept Mapping methodology to visualize Italian activists' motivations to collective action

In a political arena that is increasingly active on social issues, associations now more than ever need people who are committed to social change. Participatory methodologies are there-fore increasingly important to actively engage people and promote dialogue and collaboration between academia and local communities. In the present research, concept mapping methodology was applied with the aim of identifying the motivations underlying the commitment of a group of Italian activists to collective action. Findings suggest that sense of community and civic responsibility, typically "community" dimensions, are central in motivating the commit-ment of Italian activists.
