Berlin – soczewka współczesnej Europy. Uwagi na marginesie książki Ewy Wanat „Deutsche nasz. Reportaże berlińskie”
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Sukiennik, Magdalena
Berlin and the city’s inhabitants are the characters of Wanat’s reportage. The book is a collection of talks and evidence record of meetings with particular people. Every Berliner has their own story. While presenting the stories, the author spotlights the complexity of the city. The capital city, like any other metropolis, is a medley of various cultures and behaviours. The city reflects the borderline of the features which both unite and divide the society and endanger their peaceful coexistence. The border areas are particularly exposed to conflicts. For onlookers, Berlin seems to be a coherent mosaic. However, it is drastically divided. This incoherence is shown in varied characters of the districts, it is reflected in language, too. Resentments, stereotypes and generalisations add to this discrepancy. A peaceful coexistence in such a cosmopolitan hybrid city requires building an agora and bridges. They create the background to begin a dialogue. Liberal democracy helps to introduce socio-cultural structures, as well as mental patterns of perception. This prevents antagonisms in society. A lesson of tolerance averts hostility and others are not treated as if they were strangers. Learning an appropriate attitude towards the dissimilar takes a long time, and the challenge must be repeatedly undertaken if society is to remain united. Analysing such a big city as Berlin, Ewa Wanat illustrates complex problems of contemporary Europe.
KOREPETYCJE MATURZYSTÓW POGRANICZA W LATACH 2008–2011
(Adam Marszałek, 2012-01-01) Długosz, Piotr
Th e article presents the results of research concerning tutors. High school graduates in Podkarpackie Province, a Polish province along that shares a border with Ukraine and Slovakia, were studied. In order to collect the data, the poll method with quota sampling was used. In 2008, 936 high school graduates were tested; in 2009, 1,273 high school graduates were surveyed; and, in 2011, 925 high school graduates were tested. Th e pupils primarily took private English lessons (57% in 2008 and 61% in 2009). In 2011, the respondents most frequently took additional lessons in mathematics (80%). Th e primary motivation for taking private lessons was the desire to achieve the best results on the high school certifi cate and to increase the chances of obtaining entry to a renowned university. High school students most frequently benefi ted from lessons when they lived in cities with a higher socio-economic status and cultural capital. Th e pupils with a higher status took private lessons with the aim of maximizing their educational achievements. Th e youth with lower status rarely benefi ted from paid lessons, though private lessons could have helped augment this group’s defi cient knowledge.
Pogranicze językowe i kulturowe w nieoficjalnym nazewnictwie powiatu jarosławskiego w województwie podkarpackim
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Oronowicz-Kida, Ewa
The purpose of the article is to present the linguistic and cultural borderland in unofficial anthroponyms and microtoponyms from the district of Jarosław, whose eastern border largely coincides with the border of Poland and Ukraine. Borderland means the sphere of contact and coexistence of various phenomena on the border of geographical neighborhood, but also on the level of language and cultural properties as well as the linguistic and civilizational awareness of the inhabitants of a given area. The analyzed names are characterized by East Slavic and South-East borderlands’ influences, visible mainly in the field of phonetics and word formation, making these names broadly understood linguistic hybrids, i.e. linguistic forms combining phonetic and morphological elements of different languages. The best persistent East Slavic linguistic features in both unofficial anthroponyms and microtoponyms are phonetic properties in the form of g and h pleophony and substitutions, and hybrid derivatives. The constant presence of Ukrainian and South-East borderlands’ lexis and words semantically related to East Slavic cultural and religious realities also deserves attention. All this testifies to the ethnic, social and cultural roots of people living in this borderland.
