In Poland in the 1940s and '50s, a new kind of Catholic intended to remake European social and political life-not with guns, but French philosophyThis collective intellectual biography examines ...generations of deeply religious thinkers whose faith drove them into public life, including Karol Wojtyla, future Pope John Paul II, and Tadeusz Mazowiecki, the future prime minister who would dismantle Poland's Communist regime.Seeking to change the way we understand the Catholic Church, World War II, the Cold War, and communism, this study centers on the idea of "revolution." It examines two crucial countries, France and Poland, while challenging conventional wisdom among historians and introducing innovations in periodization, geography, and methodology. Why has much of Eastern Europe gone back down the road of exclusionary nationalism and religious prejudice since the end of the Cold War? Piotr H. Kosicki helps to understand the crises of contemporary Europe by examining the intellectual world of Roman Catholicism in Poland and France between the Church's declaration of war on socialism in 1891 and the demise of Stalinism in 1956.
As a universal European Christain phenomenon, pilgrimages focused particularly on three main destinations: Jerusalem, Rome, and Compostela. In the period from the late 14th until the early 17th ...century, several dozens of identified pilgrims from Poland and Lithuania travelled on ships along the Croatian Adriatic Coast, heading for Jerusalem. However, within this overall picture there are several common traits and differences. As for their motives, they were similar in all countries and consisted of elements related to their religious or estate identity. Owing to its early Christianization and an elaborate network of Franciscan monasteries, Poland was more advanced in terms of pilgrimage than Lithuania. On the other hand, among the Lithuanian pilgrims one fi nds many Orthodox Christians, which reflects the country’s ethnical structure. As for the estates, it can be observed that there were not many commoners among the Polish pilgrims, while the nobility and clergy are present in almost equal numbers. It is especially among the nobility of both countries that gaining the title of miles Sepulchri Domini played an important role in terms of motivation. Pilgrims from Poland and Lithuania used exclusively the route through Austria and Hungary, their destination being Venice as the place of embarkment on ships.

The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems- both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their ...differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.
Većina europskih zemalja prije samog početka Drugoga svjetskog rata nije započela s nasilnijim pokušajima asimilacije, kakav je već bio u tijeku u nacističkoj Njemačkoj. Izbijanjem Drugoga svjetskog ...rata i širenjem nacističkog utjecaja na mnoge europske zemlje, bilo izravno kao okupirane, ili posredno kao države – saveznice, započeli su se provoditi neki dijelovi nacističkog anticiganističkog modela odnosa prema Romima. Analizom u ovom radu biti će obuhvaćen odnos srednjoeuropskih vlasti, poput mađarskih, hrvatskih, čehoslovačkih i poljskih, prema romskom manjinskom stanovništvu za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata. Poseban dio analize će se usredotočiti na pitanje da li su i u kojoj mjeri nacističke vlasti utjecale na odnos navedenih državnih vlasti prema Romima.
Poljska već stoljećima zadržava jedinstveno svojstvo zaštitnice kršćanstva. Rimokatolička Crkva postala je braniteljicom poljaštva i katoličanstva, osobito u vrijeme komunizma i sovjetskog režima. ...Rimokatolička Crkva u Poljskoj dala je velik doprinos razvoju župne kateheze i patriotskog odgoja tijekom sovjetske okupacije. Danas se ponajprije Crkva, ali i vjersko obrazovanje suočavaju s promjenama u europskoj kulturi koje stvaraju nove izazove. Kako bi se na njih što bolje odgovorilo, unutarnje i vanjsko vrednovanja vjerskog obrazovanja u školama u Poljskoj čini se nužnim procesom. Vjersko obrazovanje ne može se analizirati izvan konteksta škole, jer je državna škola osnovni okvir. Autorica ovog članka objašnjava ulogu vjerskog obrazovanja u državnim školama u Poljskoj u kontekstu povijesnih, političkih, društvenih, gospodarskih, kulturnih i obrazovnih promjena. Najprije se daje osvrt na vjersko obrazovanje u Poljskoj iz povijesne perspektive. Autorica zatim ukazuje na pretpostavke vjerskog obrazovanja, njegovu narav, ciljeve, promjene i izazove. Kako bi se mladež mogla suočiti s novim izazovima i pripremiti za nove situacije, u vjersko obrazovanje je, u prvom redu, potrebno vratiti dostojanstvo i jedinstvenost ljudske osobe stvorene na sliku Božju, prihvatiti teološke koncepte i ulogu dijaloga u procesu učenja, uvesti učenje za život povezano sa svakodnevnim situacijama, povećati mogućnosti za osobni razvoj i rast u vjeri učenika svake dobne skupine, jačati izgradnju identiteta učenika, tražiti nove načine komuniciranja, razvijati kritičko mišljenje, promicati moralni odgoj, istražiti nove modele suradnje s obitelji i drugim odgojno-obrazovnih ustanovama.
This book investigates the complex relations between the Republic of Poland and the Slovak Republic in the context of ongoing processes in the European Union's political and economic system. The ...basic assumption of the study is that Polish-Slovak relations are affected and shaped not only by the interaction between the two of them but also by the dynamics of the European and global international environment. The authors explore different aspects of the interconnectedness of Warsaw and Bratislava. This includes the analysis of political, economic, and social dimensions of bilateral relations in the multilateral context. One of the goals of this volume is to define areas and spheres of Poland's and Slovakia's common interest, as well as to point out those areas with the highest potential for development. It also defines and analyzes problematic issues in common relations that could be seen as obstacles in developing cooperation in specific areas and politically strategic areas like foreign and security policy. Moreover, the book seeks to measure the extent to which Polish-Slovak relations are affected by the European integration process.
Drawing on the variety of archival sources in the host of European and Oriental languages, the book focuses on the history, ethnography, and convoluted ethnic identity of the Polish-Lithuanian ...Karaites. The vanishing community of the Karaites, a non-Talmudic Turkic-speaking Jewish minority that had been living in Eastern Europe since the late Middle Ages, developed a unique ethnographic culture and religious tradition. The book offers the first comprehensive study of the dramatic history of the Polish-Lithuanian Karaite community in the twentieth century. Especially important is the analysis of the dejudaization (or Turkicization) of the community that saved the Karaites from horrors of the Holocaust.
Kazimierz Kumaniecki (1905–1977), profesor na varšavski univerzi, je odločilno vplival na oblikovanje klasičnofilološke skupnosti v obdobju Poljske kot ljudske republike; ob prizadevanju za krepitev ...njenih struktur v smislu akademskega profila in kvalitete je s svojim delovanjem hkrati skrbel za njeno povezanost. Svoj čut za poslanstvo je črpal iz dveh virov, iz lastne konspirativne izkušnje v Informacijsko-propagandnem biroju glavnega štaba Domovinske vojske (Armia Krajowa) med drugo svetovno vojno ter iz izročila klasičnofilološke skupnosti v Galiciji za časa poljske razdeljenosti, ko je študij starega veka služil tudi kot orodje pri zavzemanju za Poljsko kot del Evrope. Študija vsebuje gradivo iz arhivov tajne policije.
Avtorja v članku preučujeta poljsko mesto Torunj z vidika koncepta kompaktnega mesta. Na primeru izbranega mesta analizirata teoretične elemente koncepta kompaktnega mesta, pri čemer upoštevata ...psihološke vidike (družbeno percepcijo) kompaktnega mesta. Primarni podatki za študijo primera so bili zbrani med terenskimi raziskavami med letoma 2013 in 2014. Uporabljena metodologija vključuje pregled literature, rastrsko analizo satelitskega posnetka mesta (z velikostjo celice 250 x 250 m) in anketo o družbeni percepciji kompaktnega mesta (n = 128), pri kateri so bili uporabljeni vprašalniki z reprezentativnimi kvantitativnimi podatki. V sklopu raziskave je bila opravljena tudi analiza dostopnosti glavnih lokacij v Torunju. Rezultati so predstavljeni na zemljevidu urbanih območij in grafih družbene percepcije. Izsledki raziskave kažejo, da se Torunj z urbanističnega vidika pojmuje kot kompaktno mesto, s psihološkega ali družbenega vidika pa ne.
