All that Gothic
This book is an introduction to the history, aesthetic and key themes of the Gothic and the approaches and theories that have been applied to Gothic texts and films. The volume explores the cultural resonances created by the genre in 18th and 19th century texts and 20th century literature and film.
Time and Temporality in Language and Human Experience
Culture and language provide two essential frameworks to deal with the concept of time. Relying on empirical methods, the book explores language users' perception and conceptualization of time across such research domains as temporal processing, language acquisition, philosophy, literature, the arts, and non-verbal communication.
Arkadiusz Gołaś. Przerwana podróż
Biografia Arka Gołasia napisana we współpracy z rodziną i bliskimi. Zwyczajny, skromny chłopak. Tak mówili o nim ci, którzy kiedykolwiek spotkali go na swojej drodze. I choć przyjaciele i znajomi wiedzieli, że potrafił także dobrze się zabawić, a w złości rozbić telefon o ścianę, wszyscy pozostawali zgodni co do jednego: był jednym z największych talentów w historii polskiej siatkówki. Tragiczny wypadek na autostradzie w Austrii sprawił, że marzenia 24-letniego Arkadiusza Gołasia w jednym momencie zostały brutalnie przerwane – niespełna dwa miesiące po ślubie z Agnieszką i osiem dni po zakończeniu mistrzostw Europy, w których z reprezentacją Polski zajął piąte miejsce… Piotr Bąk postanowił zadbać o to, by pamięć o tym wyjątkowym siatkarzu nigdy się nie zatarła. Rozmawiając z jego siostrą, rodzicami, trenerami, kolegami z internatu, klubów i reprezentacji Polski, stworzył niezwykle osobisty portret Arka Gołasia – wielkiego sportowca i człowieka. Ta książka nie jest kolejną zwykłą biografią. To piękny hołd oddany komuś, kto siatkówce poświęcił się bez reszty. I do dziś pozostał w sercach kibiców z całej Polski.
Proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Asphalt Pavements & Environment (APE)
This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of asphalt pavement technology, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 5th International Symposium on Asphalt Pavements & Environment (ISAP 2019 APE Symposium), held in Padua, Italy on September 11-13, 2019. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning materials and technologies for asphalt pavements, designed for sustainability and environmental compatibility: sustainable pavement materials, marginal materials for asphalt pavements, pavement structures, testing methods and performance, maintenance and management methods, urban heat island mitigation, energy harvesting, and Life Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
Resurrecting the Jew
An in-depth look at why non-Jewish Poles are trying to bring Jewish culture back to life in Poland today Since the early 2000s, Poland has experienced a remarkable Jewish revival, largely driven by non-Jewish Poles with a passionate new interest in all things Jewish. Klezmer music, Jewish-style restaurants, kosher vodka, and festivals of Jewish culture have become popular, while new museums, memorials, Jewish studies programs, and Holocaust research centers reflect soul-searching about Polish-Jewish relations before, during, and after the Holocaust. In Resurrecting the Jew, Geneviève Zubrzycki examines this revival and asks what it means to try to bring Jewish culture back to life in a coun...
The Many Faces of Tolerance
This book presents a systematic account on Poles’ attitudes toward ethnic, religious, political, and sexual minorities. It investigates Poland’s reputation as an intolerant, anti-Semitic, and homophobic country. Counter to a simplistic image of Poland as a hotbed of intolerance, the book shows that Polish intolerance has many faces. For one thing, Poles’ attitudes toward diversity vary from one group to another. For another, the extent to which Poles’ attitudes are more or less negative depends on the right or activity they are asked to support and who the respondents happen to be. The book is the most comprehensive and empirically sophisticated synthesis of Poles’ attitudes toward...
Youth and Politics in Times of Increasing Inequalities
Young people are very often the driving forces of political participation that aims to change societies and political systems. Rather than being depoliticized, young people in different national contexts are giving rise to alternative politics. Drawing on original survey data collected in 2018, this edited volume provides a detailed analysis of youth participation in nine European countries by focusing on socialization processes, different modes of participation and the mobilization of youth politics. "This volume is an indispensable guide to understanding young European’s experience and engagement of politics, the inequalities that shape young people’s political engagement and are somet...
