    Sarkofag. Wirtualne istnienie i realne nieistnienie
    (Wydział Sztuki UR, 2017-12) Huculak, Łukasz
    The article deals with the significance of the vanitas theme in visual arts and considers its controversial status in contemporary culture. The beginnings of civilization are connected with burying rituals and the need to commemorate the ancestors: we date particular communities according to the first burials, regarding their attitude towards the infirm as an indicator of socialization and the attitude towards the dead as a source of symbolic thinking, i. e. a manifestation of high culture. Compared with the periods during which those customs developed and consolidated, the present era seems to be distinguished by a certain serenity: we have managed to camouflage the prospect of the end with hygiene and cosmetics and postpone the moment of dying by means of medicine and entertainment. Real death has therefore gained an acceptable look and the remains of the terror vanish with the universality of virtual dying (films, games, news bulletins).

    Śmierć. Między doświadczeniem a pojęciem
    (Wydział Sztuki UR, 2017-12) Iskra-Paczkowska, Agnieszka
    The article analyzes the issue of human finiteness. The reflection upon death runs in three perspectives: death as a generic phenomenon, death of a loved one (man as homo sepultor) and one’s own death. It includes issues like: the notion andexperience of death, self-knowledge in the prospect of death, the attitude towards death and its determinants, variability of the social and cultural attitude models towards death, the paradoxes of the term “death”. The ending presents the principles of contemporary thanatology, the study of “good life and good death ”.
