Trends in cultural policy and culture management in Poland (1989−2014) (II)
Get PDFSetting aside the fact that the lack of a policy is also some kind of policy, while analyzing the events of the last 25 years in cultural policy, from the perspective of the year 2014, can we really say that there is no cultural policy in Poland? The author describes and analyzes the changes in culture management and cultural policy in Poland from the last quarter of a century. The responsibility for cultural policy rests not only with the central authorities, the Ministry of Culture, but also with local governments, which more and more frequently include citizens in the decision-making process. The citizens themselves are becoming more and more aware of their rights. Apart from cultural institutions, non-governmental organizations more and more often become the contractors of public tasks. They co-create and enrich the cultural offer of cities and regions significantly. Not only the number of non-governmental organizations but also their creativity and the professional level of their actions are increasing. Cultural activity is more and more often undertaken by private economic operators (not only art galleries, but also artistic agencies and impresarios). They cannot count on subsidies from local governments any more, but they can become contractors of services at their request under the Public Procurement Law, which, thanks to the last amendment (raising the threshold for public procurement to more than 30,000 EUR), will become a bit easier from the proceduralpoint of view. The role of public cultural institutions is changing. Many of them have redefined their mission and have been successively building new relations with the audience, taking into consideration the changing needs of the consumers and new economic conditions. Despite the underdeveloped sponsorship in Poland, many of them use the conceptions of CSR and CCR, while others diversify their offer, in terms of both the merits and the price, often introducing a commercial offer as a complementary one. The new infrastructure in Poland, in case of many cultural institutions, contributed to a substantial change and improvement of their conditions. After many years of a total investment stagnation in this sphere, together with Poland’s accession to EU, the Polish state and local governments started to undertake tasks in this area more bravely. New infrastructure naturally generates the need for innovation. Cultural institutions more willingly and effectively make use of the new media today (communication with the audience, mailing, FB, promotion, marketing, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing). They more often see the importance of spending money on marketing activities, which they used to economize on in case of a shortfall of funds for substantive activities

Use of gamification in the process of selection of candidates for the position in the opinion of young adults in Poland
Get PDFThe article focuses on the potential of the use of gamification in the selection process, willingness to participate in this form of recruitment among young people (20–25 years of age) entering the labour market and the factors differentiating their willingness.

The Criminal Threat to Cultural Heritage in Poland – Analysis of the Events of 2014
Get PDFWhen studying the phenomenon of crime against cultural heritage different methods can be applied to diagnose the level of threat. A year-long study of specific crime cases where the victims are cultural goods allows one to see trends in the activities of the perpetrators and helps one to develop methods to counteract future incidents. Long-term studies of crime cases affecting cultural heritage enable for a complementary way of assessing the level of risk factors and to minimize the risk of their occurrence. The study is expected to begin an annual series of articles aimed at the systematic presentation of the phenomenon of crime against cultural heritage in Poland. The text presents a selection of cases which, in the opinion of the author, may constitute an auxiliary tool to diagnose the level of the threat to cultural goods within the period indicated. There are presented in a shortened form cases of various types of criminal activities against heritage, such as theft, burglary and the destruction of valuable cultural objects

Nabycie własności dobra kultury od nieuprawnionego. Wybrane zagadnienia
Get PDFAcquisition of ownership of movable property is of particular significance in the trade in cultural objects. Legal systems adopt different solutions which either allow or disallow acquisition in good faith of ownership of movable property. Another issue of importance is regulation governing the object of a transaction which is an item of cultural heritage. Under Polish law each item of movable property receives the same treatment with regard to the legality of a transaction. From the point of view of the trade in cultural objects, acting in good faith when purchasing such objects becomes of particular importance. The model of such acquisition is here shaped by legal principle, earlier judicial decisions as well as practices prevailing in the art market. Partial solutions of the issues discussed in the paper will be achieved after the adoption of an amended law on found property, in which objects entered into a national register of lost goods have been covered by a special legal regime

Cultural Heritage Vandalism and Looting: the Role of Terrorist Organizations, Public Institutions and Private Collectors
Get PDFThe destruction and looting of cultural heritage in the Middle East by terrorist organizations is well-documented by social media and the press. Its brutality and severity have drawn international criticism as the violent destruction of heritage is classified as a war crime. Efforts have been made to preserve objects against bombing and destruction, as archaeologists and other volunteers safeguard sites prior to assault. There is also precedent for prosecuting heritage destruction via national and international tribunals. In term of looting, black-market antiquities provide a revenue stream for ISIS; therefore, efforts must be made to stop this harmful trade. Governmental agencies have taken actions to prevent funding through antiquities. Public institutions have a role in safeguarding looted works by providing asylum to them without fueling the black market. At the same time, private collectors must also not purchase any items from the black market. Through education and enforcement of legislation intended to protect cultural heritage, it may be possible to reduce the market for looted antiquities
