Teoria społeczna i estetyczna Theodora Adorna jako praktyka prowokacyjnego uwrażliwiania
Get PDFThis paper refers to Theodor Adorno’s sociological and philosophical reflection and the basic contradictions in his theory. The author disclosures basic inconsistencies between his methodological assumptions and diagnosis of industrial society. Paradoxically, regardless of whether we are supporters or opponents of Adorno’s conceptions, it leads to a more sensitive overview toward social reality and realizing his methodological ideals through our practical activity
Middle-Range Norms and the Problem of Social Integration
No full textCelem tekstu jest dyskusja z teoriami mówiącymi o tym, że dzisiejsze społeczeństwa nie są zdolne do integracji opartej na powszechnie podzielanych normach. Teza o „zaniku wspólnych sensów” daje obraz społeczeństwa jako agregatu jednostek lub skonfliktowanych grup. Jako kontrprzykład do takich konkluzji autor proponuje pojęcie norm średniego zasięgu. Zgodnie z prezentowanym ujęciem, takie normy mogą łączyć zróżnicowanych aktorów społecznych i być powszechnie uznawane. Wspólna normalność może być negocjowana oddolnie i niekoniecznie jest odgórnie narzucana przez różne formy władzy społecznej. Przykłady takich norm autor znajduje w rzeczywistości życia codziennego. Zalicza do nich normę niemarnowania żywności, regułę gościnności, szacunku dla żałoby, opiekuńczość wobec dzieci oraz dbanie o własne zdrowie.The purpose of the article is to critically address the theories, which state that modern societies are not capable of integration based on universally shared norms. The thesis about the „disappearance of common meanings” creates an image of society as an aggregate of individuals or confl icted groups. To counter-balance such visions, the author proposes the concept of middle-range norms. It is argued that such norms can connect different social actors and be widely recognized. Shared normalcy can be negotiated in a bottom-up manner and not necessarily imposed in the top-down fashion by various forms of social power. The author finds examples of such norms in everyday life. They include the norm of not wasting food, the rule of hospitality, respect for mourning, care for children and concern with health
A proposal to differentiate the categories of respect and esteem
No full textPoniższy tekst odnosi się do debat dotyczących sporów teoretycznych i definicyjnych o znaczenie kategorii szacunku i estymy. Autor porównuje koncepcję prestiżu Henryka Domańskiego i teorie uznania Axela Honnetha zarówno w wymiarze normatywnym, jak i tym dotyczącym badań empirycznych. Autor konkluduje, że założenia normatywne i definicje teoretyczne kategorii estymy i szacunku są bardziej przekonujące i wyszukane pod względem teoretycznym w teorii uznania Axela Honnetha.*This paper refers to the debates concerning the theoretical and definitional controversies about
the meaning of the categories of respect and esteem. The author compares Henryk Doman´ ski’s
conception of prestige and Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition in the normative and empirical
research dimensions. He then concludes that the normative assumptions and the theoretical
definitions of the categories of esteem and respect are more convincing in Axel Honneth’s theory of
recognition
Samoograniczająca się towarzyskość. Żywność, alkohol i kawa oraz trzy zasady z ekonomiki gościnności
No full textThe author of the text focuses on the economics of everyday life as defined by a contextual and qualitative measuring of various aspects of hospitality through the use of terms such as “more,” “less,” and “just right.” He analyzes the presence of food, alcohol, and coffee during the visit of guests. Each of these three material components of hospitality is regulated according to specific principles: “too much is better than too little” in regard to food, “too little is better than too much” for alcohol, and there has to be “at least” coffee. A detailed analysis of these principles leads to the conclusion that Polish hospitality is today oriented toward moderation. The popular belief in the abundance of Polish hospitality as a national feature is thus called into question

Influence of Diet on Bowel Function and Abdominal Symptoms in Children and Adolescents with Hirschsprung Disease—A Multinational Patient-Reported Outcome Survey
Get PDFIntroduction: This study aimed to understand the influence of diet and nutrition items on gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Hirschsprung Disease (HD). Method: An online questionnaire was created to obtain patient-reported outcomes using the multinational Holistic Care in Hirschsprung Disease Network. This was distributed in Dutch, English, German, Italian, Polish, and Swedish via patient associations. Information on demographics, the extension of disease, current diet, and the influence of food ingredients on bowel function were obtained. Results: In total, 563 questionnaires were answered by parents or patients themselves. The length of the aganglionic segment was short in 33%, long in 45%, total colonic aganglionosis (TCA) in 11%, and involved the small intestine in 10%. Overall, 90% reported following a mixed diet, and 31% reported taking probiotics, with twice as many patients taking probiotics in the TCA group compared to standard HD. Mealtimes and behaviours around eating were affected by 61%, while 77% had established food items that worsened symptoms, and of these, 80% stated that they had worked these items out themselves. A high-fibre diet was followed by 24% and 18% a low-fibre diet. Symptoms were reported, particularly from dairy in 30%, fruits in 39%, pulses in 54%, and sugar in 48%. Conclusions: This first multinational survey on diet and bowel function in HD reports an association between certain dietary items with gastrointestinal symptoms. This study can support an improved understanding of the interaction between food items and bowel function in children with HD. We suggest a multidisciplinary approach to balance dietary exclusions and support adequate growth, preventing nutrition deficiencies and enhancing quality of life
