Opis:
The present paper falls within the field of translation studies and it investigates the concept of an interpreter’s multilingual identity within transdisciplinary space applying the concepts already established in philosophy, sociology, psychology, and other behavioral sciences. The examination of the issue draws on the argument that translator faces challenges the examination of which requires the deployment of the approaches roofed under the term social constructivism. According to this perspective developed in numerous humanities and social sciences personal identity is permanently constructed and reconstructed through language practices, action and interaction. Social constructivism can provide answers to numerous questions about the position and role of the translator in the translation process as intercultural communication.

Opis:
A general theme of the text to discuss ideological mechanisms of non-representation of politicallylegitimized knowledge of underprivileged groups in the society, including women and religious orethnic minorities in school textbooks, particularly in the area of history. Analysis of dominant viewson the place of socially marginalized social groups in history textbook narratives and curricular objectivesseems to be more important than ever before. Relating to Michel Foucault’s concept of discoursesof truth, the aim of the text is to consider the dominant regime of truth in relation to national heroism,religion and a citizenship ideal. National heroism narratives in history textbooks are always placed isa broader context of building representations of a national identity and attempting to develop a unifiednotion of good citizenship. Both the nationhood and citizenship perspectives are sometimes symbolicallyrelated to the attempt of shaping emotional identification with a dominant religion.

Opis:
Powyższy artykuł1 jest wkładem w konstruktywistyczne badanie krajobrazu. Inaczej niż w esencjalistycznej, czy pozytywistycznej tradycji krajobrazu przypisuje się tu konstrukcji społecznej i indywidualnej fundamentalne znaczenie w postrzeganiu krajobrazu. W koncepcji tej krajobraz nie jest bytem materialnym, tylko powstaje przez zestawienie obiektów materialnych wewnątrz świadomości odbiorcy, na podstawie społecznych wzorców interpretacji i oceny. Analitycznie można tu wyróżnić cztery płaszczyzny konstrukcji: płaszczyznę społeczną, (jako krajobraz społeczny), płaszczyznę indywidualną, (jako krajobraz społeczny aktualizowany indywidualnie), przestrzeń fizyczną (substrat materialny), jak również przyswojony krajobraz fizyczny („angeeignete physische Landschaft”), a więc te materialne obiekty, które zostały użyte do konstrukcji krajobrazu. Za pomocą tego modelu można przeanalizować pytania o to: jak człowiek konstruuje krajobraz? Na podstawie jakich społecznych wzorców interpretacji i oceny?
The present article provides a contribution to constructivist Landscape Research. In contrast to essentialist or positivist landscaping tradition social and individual constructions are given constitutive significance in the considering of landscape. Therefore landscape is not a material object, but it is created internally consciousness by the synopsis of material objects on the basis of social interpretation and evaluation patterns. Analytically four levels of construction can be identified: The societal level (as social landscape), the individual level (as individually updated social landscape), the physical space (material substrate) and the appropriated physical landscape, so those material objects that are used for the construction of landscape. This model allows analyzing how a person due to which social interpretation and evaluation patterns in which manner constructs landscape.

Opis:
Many scholars today share a view of relational sociology as a processual-transactional approach whose basic tenet is the fluid, relativistic, contingent, transactional character of social relations. They invite sociologists to see our so-called objects (societies, institutions, social patterns, conflicts, social movements, social classes, etc.) in a processual way. In this contribution the author objects that relationalism offers a reductive vision of social reality, because it supports a flat social ontology rather than a stratified social ontology. Relationalism reduces relationships to pure flows, considering structures as purely contingent, while relational sociology attributes a structure to relationships and gives autonomy to structures, even if they are produced by processes. We have to distinguish between different orders of reality: the processual-interactional (relationalist) and the relational orders. To see all of this, it is necessary to assume a relational gaze that is only possible if a supra-functional, morphogenetic framework is adopted.

Opis:
This paper is about the use of social hierarchies as tools to control society in East European countries during the Communist era, and why those regimes were so stable. According to the theoretical perspective developed in this article the constructivist system instituted a socialist legal order as a means to pretend that the “rule of law” was still applicable. The resulting constructivist regimes were party-states, where all state hierarchies had parallel structures within the Communist Party hierarchy, and where the separation of powers was replaced with a “hierarchic balancing,” a special form of leadership that the Communist Party exerted over all institutions of state administration and the armed forces. The principle of democratic centralism helped to decrease the transaction costs of governance, and thus, achieve loyalty to the system by party members and non-members alike, and loyalty to the leadership within Communist Party.

Opis:
Economic performance is described and explained by both economics and business ethics. Suggested by business ethics the cultural aspect includes different than assumed in economic science forejudgements which concern the nature of economy as well as the attendance of taking part it subjects – member of a particular society. The most important foundation is recognition that economy, which makes part of social reality, is under cultural conditions out of the economic ones. Since ethics and the mainstream economics presume two different ideas of social reality there is no chance to interdisciplinary discussion on economic performance. The aim of this study is to present a new methodological approach: social constructivism which could be applied to describe and explain economic processes and performances as related to custom and ethics. The author believes that the constructivist approach can be developed by institutional economics which is an alternative to mainstream economics.

Opis:
The issue of gender and gender studies is a topic that has its own admirers but also vehement critics. The aim of the paper is to outline a number of key stereotypes often repeated by the critics of “gender ideology“ which is above all an attempt to radically separate sex and gender. This “ideology“ is based on various conceptions of social constructivism, but also on poststructuralist theories. One of the most frequent targets of the above mentioned criticism is American philosopher Judith Butler. Many critics are irritated by her philosophical conception and political activity. The ambition of the text is to show that the conventional reading of Judith Butler is very often just a misunderstanding. The reason of this misconception is primarily the ignorance of her hermeneutical points of departure, which leads to the misinterpretation of her work.
Problematyka gender, rozważana w różnych pracach, ma swoich zwolenników i przeciwników. Celem tego studium jest ukazanie kilku kluczowych stereotypów, powtarzanych przez większość krytyków, a także próba radykalnej separacji płci i gatunku. Od strony filozoficznej krytyka ta wychodzi z różnych koncepcji społecznego konstruktywizmu, jak też z poststrukturalistycznch teorii. Okazją do częstej krytyki staje się twórczość Judyty Butler. Pragniemy ukazać, do jakiego stopnia czytanie prac J. Butler może być nieporozumieniem. A przyczyną takiej lektury jest przede wszystkim nieznajomość hermeneutycznych założeń, co prowadzi do niezrozumienia jej twórczości.

Opis:
One of the most significant aspects of the recent wave of migration from Poland is the way in which migrants’ social and cultural experiences are being depicted in press articles. Migratory experiences in journalistic descriptions are structured in the form of narratives which are reproduced in public debate. Then they form a part of ‘common knowledge’ and finally become an element of the whole reservoir of social consciousness. Media narratives describe processes which are the object of academic exploration of sociologists, anthropologists and psychologists. Among these processes there are such phenomena as: social mobility, cultural change (norms, values, lifestyles), emergence of ‘new identities’, the shape of ethnic and interethnic relations or changes in family patterns. The aim of the paper is a synthesis of the main narrative motives of the social and cultural consequences of post-accession migration in Polish weekly magazines between 2004 and 2012. The synthesis has been based on systematic content analysis of press articles (n=172) published in four weekly magazines. The goal of the analysis is a discussion of the way the consequences of migration are being depicted from the global (country), local (region), and individual perspective (migrant). The research project also aimed at discussing the intersection of journalistic and academic fields in press narratives and its role in the legitimization of ‘the official version’ of the depicted process. The analysis concerned the linguistic structure of journalistic narration in the context of Stanley Cohen’s concept of moral panic.

Opis:
Cosmetic surgery is often linked to the perception that women who resort to cosmetic interventions to alter their physical appearance are vain, superficial, and narcissistic. Few investigations have acknowledged and explored the individual’s personal motivations and experiences of her action and choice with regards to aesthetic surgery. By focusing on subjective experience, alternative insights can be gained on the cosmetic procedure(s) and on how their reshaped body influences an individual’s lifeworld experience. The article explores the perceived benefits and consequences of reshaping, enhancing, and/or reducing a perceived flaw or shortcoming of the body. From this exploration the focus moves to the individual’s subjective and intersubjective perceptions: how she motivates and justifies her physical transformation whilst keeping private, and at times hiding, her surgical intervention. Drawing on narratives from several women, we attempt to understand how they experience cosmetic surgery in terms of their personal sense of self and their everyday social reality.

Opis:
Gwałtowne zmiany społeczno-ekonomiczne odciskają głębokie piętno na biografiach ludzi, a więc również na skierowanym do nich poradnictwie, zwłaszcza poradnictwie kariery. Zmienia się także samo rozumienie kariery. Wszystko to sprawia, że poradoznawstwo poszukuje nowych koncepcji opisu tej płynnej i niejednoznacznej rzeczywistości oraz sposobów jej interpretacji. Jednocześnie zmieniają się same nauki społeczne – następuje przejście paradygmatyczne od pozytywizmu do interpretatywizmu. Orientacje ulokowane w tym nowym paradygmacie rozumiejącym, zakorzenione w tradycji fenomenologiczno-hermeneutycznej, stają się atrakcyjnym polem poszukiwań badawczych oraz zdają się odpowiadać na współczesne potrzeby zarówno teorii, jak i praktyki poradnictwa. Jednym z takich stanowisk jest obecne podejście konstruktywistyczne łączące w sobie tradycje kognitywistyki i konstrukcjonizmu społecznego. Stanowisko to zdaje się być radykalne, gdyż kwestionuje istnienie obiektywnie poznawalnej rzeczywistości i proponuje nową ontologię społeczną, gdzie jest możliwych wiele rzeczywistości społecznych konstruowanych przez jednostki i grupy w trakcie wzajemnych interakcji poprzez uzgadnianie i nadawanie znaczeń tej rzeczywistości. Stąd kariera, ale także tożsamość jest konstruowana, a nie odkrywana. Konstruowanie dzieje się poprzez narracje. Stanowisko to ma głębokie i szerokie implikacje dla poradnictwa kariery. Interesującą propozycję aplikacji konstruktywizmu do poradnictwa zaprezentował grecki badacz Spyros Kriwas.
Rapid socio-economic changes leave a deep imprint on people's biographies and, therefore, also on counselling, especially career counselling. The meaning of a career itself is also changing. All this means that counselling studies are in need of a new concept for describing this fluid and uncertain reality and new ways of describing it. At the same time, social sciences are also changing – there is a shift in paradigm from positivistic to interpretative. Approaches within this new understanding paradigm, tracing their roots to the phenomenological-hermeneutic tradition, are becoming an attractive area for research and seem to correspond to contemporary needs of both theory and practice of counselling One of such approaches is the constructivist position that combines the cognitive and social constructivism traditions. Such a position appears to be radical, as it puts into question the existence of an objectively cognitive reality and proposes a new social ontology. It would be based on many possible social realities constructed by individuals and groups through interactions, such as accommodating and giving meaning to the said reality. Therefore a career, but also an identity is constructed, not discovered. This construction is done through narration. Such an approach has deep implications for career counselling. The Greek researcher Spyros Kriwas presented an interesting proposal for applying constructivism to counselling.

In this article, I reconstruct Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz’s view that he called radical conventionalism (as opposed to moderate conventionalism developed by Henri Poincaré and Pierre Duhem). Then, I recall little‑known criticism of this approach developed by Stefan Amsterdamski. Finally, I demonstrate, contrary to the conception of the originator’s declarations, that a radical conventionalism is not a ‘paper fiction’. On the other hand, the standpoint of radical conventionalism is useful due to the precision of expressions provided to it by Ajdukiewicz; it shows the difficulties that have to be tackled by each philosophical approach assuming a social constructivism or related notion.

Opis:
In the last three decades, there has been a great interest in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). As a newly flourished area, CALL borrowed or adapted theories from other disciplines, such as second language acquisition, linguistics, psychology and education; however, it is still questioned how these theories are modified, utilized and integrated into CALL research. In this study, the articles published in Computer Assisted Language Learning, System, British Journal of Educational Technology, and Language Learning and Technology between 1997 and 2018 were analyzed and the suggested theoretical frameworks for the research studies were examined. First, the articles without any explicit theoretical frameworks were eliminated. Second, the articles with specific theories were categorized and discussed in categories. At the end of the study, it was found that the prominent theoretical frameworks used in the last two decades were Social Constructivism, Sociocultural Theory, and Interactionist SLA in CALL studies. As for further studies, it can be claimed that these prominent theories will continue to be adopted by the researchers no matter what kind of new tools and platforms emerge for educational purposes. These findings might help researchers to better understand the past and the present situation of CALL research and to design further studies.

Opis:
The analytical approach of this article is inspired by C. Wright Mills’ (1959) notion of “the sociological imagination.” Individual experience is viewed through the lens of the wider social context, particularly that of the organization. The socio-organizational context is then viewed through the lens of individual experience. The aim of this bi-directional gaze is to explore the relationship between individual experience and wider society. And in doing so, to identify and reveal the shared motifs-the significant, recurrent themes and patterns-that link and construct personal experience and social world. The aims, findings, and research processes of the original study are rooted in the instrumental epistemology of program evaluation. Specifically, a mixed-method implementation-evaluation of a local non-governmental organization’s Orphans and Vulnerable Children program. The aim of this article is to take the analyses and findings of that evaluation beyond its epistemic roots. Qualitative data were disentangled from the confines of thematic analysis and freed into their original narrative form. This allowed for a deeply reflexive “second reading,” which brings whole narratives into a dialogue with original findings, contextual factors, and sociological discourse. Key conceptual anchors are located in Vanessa May’s ideas on the self and belonging, and in Margaret Wetherell’s writings on affect and emotion. These are important aspects of working with children, particularly orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa, where many fall through the cracks of government’s social services. A second, deeper, qualitative reading of the narratives of children, their parents/caregivers, and the organization’s staff, explores three key pathways of individual and group experience that are inextricably linked to emotions and belonging, and which co-construct the social functioning of the organization itself.
