As a theory, sociobiology is opposed to socio-ecology, a discipline hampered since its birth. The indictment of the ideological intentions of the first has obscured the notion that the growing domination of the image of the “selfish gene” has obstructed the necessary rise of the second. For 40 years, a terrible force of inertia has thus frozen the global analysis of socio-ecological interactions outside the theoretical bias externally imposed on social sciences by so-called “behavioral ecology”,...

Po latach zapomnienia rodzima słowiańska wiara przeżywa swój renesans. Nie jest to jednak tendencja wyłącznie polska, gdyż wzrost zainteresowania religiami pogańskimi (etnicznymi) i neopogańskimi odnotowywany jest w wielu krajach europejskich. Współcześnie do najaktywniejszych formacji neopogańskich w Polsce zaliczamy: „Rodzimą Wiarę” (dawniej „Zrzeszenie Rodzimej Wiary”) oraz „Rodzimy Kościół Polski”. Ruchy te wpisane są do rejestru kościołów i związków wyznaniowych Ministerstwa Spraw...

"Książka Piotra Siudy i Anny Koralewskiej to próba wyjaśnienia fenomenu seriali anime w kontekście popularności, jaką cieszą się w samej Japonii, ale przede wszystkim w świecie Zachodu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Polski. Popularność ta przekłada się na wytworzenie się specyficznej subkultury fanów, którzy aktywnie włączają się w promocję poszczególnych seriali oraz w ich jakościowe oblicze, tłumacząc we własnym zakresie ścieżki dialogowe i tworząc napisy do filmów (często z pogwałceniem...

Ze wstępu: Aby czytelnikom dać możność ocenienia, jakie myśli, dążenia i przekonania przejawiają się w przysłowiach ludu wśród nas od wieków zamieszkałego, co od nas do swych tradycji przejął i przyswoił, a co nawzajem do naszych przylgnęło pamiątek, postanowiliśmy je przetłumaczyć. Przysłowia żydowskie mało się nadają do przekładu; są one przeplatane mnóstwem wyrażeń hebrajskich i innych, odnoszących się do obrządków religijnych lub zwyczajów; w przekładzie naszym oddaliśmy myśl każdego...

O niniejszym dziełku: „Roku 1669 zabrał się Potocki do spisywania i tłumaczenia sentencji i przypowieści polskich i łacińskich; niebawem przerwał pracę, choć jej nigdy zupełnie nie porzucił; r. 1688 wrócił do niej i popierał ją odtąd stale i systematycznie aż do końca życia; wynikiem tej pracy był ów właśnie foliant. Stanowi on prawdziwy skarb i dla ocenienia duchowej fizjognomii poety – który tu złożył, nie obawiając się niepowołanego oka, wyznania swe religijne, polityczne i literackie – i dla...

Malaysian psychiatric services and policy show some similar developments to those of the West. Yet much of the rhetoric that has informed these changes internationally have yet to be fully embraced in a modern, industrialised nation seeking to develop services congruent with the complex and rich diversity of ethnicity, culture and geography in the region. The relevance of this unique and extensive ethnographic study is that it captures the fascinating and otherwise lost voices of Malaysian...

How people make sense of illness is, in part, culturally determined. Existing community beliefs and presuppositions are organized as cultural models, which “make meaning” of new situations such as the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These cultural constructions can also contribute to the spread of the epidemic. This volume examines the meaning and cultural contexts of HIV/AIDS in Nepal, where AIDS is relatively new and rapidly growing. Until now little has been known about how Nepalis understand the illness...
