Lindquist and Pytel
No full textThe foremost event in the international architecture calendar is the Venice International Architecture Biennale. In 2012, Creative Directors Gerard Reinmuth and Anthony Burke with TOKO Concept Design, led the Australian Pavilion exhibition, entitled FORMATIONS: New Practices in Australian Architecture. The exhibition focus was to explore and celebrate “the nature of innovative configurations of architectural practice in Australia today and the desire for a renewed form of architectural agency which drives them”. \ud
\ud
The Australian Pavilion exhibition purposely chose to highlight the actions and processes behind contemporary architectural practice, focusing not on ‘starchitecture’ projects but those far reaching and socially-engaged “practitioners who are making a substantial and consequential impact in the field and well beyond it”. FORMATIONS had two overarching themes: (1) to stimulate critical disciplinary commentary on a range of new types of Australian practices and their potentialities and (2) exciting a public audience with a spatially dynamic and thought provoking exhibition of new forms of architectural practice, their spatial consequences and transformative potentials. Six projects were displayed in the Australian Pavilion in Venice, with the printed catalogue showcasing 33 ground-breaking examples of Australian practitioners addressing internationally relevant issues in their practice. \ud

Lindquist and Pytels collaborative practice is programmed between the demands of academia and commercial fashion practice. Their interests lie in exploring the relationship between the body, new materiality and its application within different facts of design production. The creative practice is underpinned by scholarly theory such as Heidegger’s "nearness and revealing" (1927-1954), Simondon’s "transduction theory" (1989) and the Burke's "sublime" (1757). Outcomes feedback into academic studio programs, scholarly research and material development for commercial, installation and speculative design production

The work employs the central theme of veiling as a\ud
‘second skin’, an intermediary agent simultaneously\ud
engaging with Heideggerian themes of ‘nearness\ud
and revealing’ (1927, 1954). This second skin creates\ud
a liminality distorting everyday objects of popular\ud
culture and technological consumption. In doing\ud
so, the work puts forth multiple considerations, the\ud
figurative play upon consumption itself; the role\ud
of the strange and obscure to affect a deepening\ud
awareness of our accelerated consumption and\ud
experience; and more tangentially, questions\ud
surrounding imminent scenarios of hybridity\ud
between body and technology.\ud
\ud
Velum represents a recent focus of the authors’\ud
creative practice, ‘Making Strange’ (Strange\ud
Making) published and presented elsewhere.\ud
Making Strange explores the sublime process,\ud
fundamental to both the final design outcome and\ud
the designing experience. The sublime process is\ud
seen as a leading, a physiological overpowering\ud
of self to a state of intense self-presence, often\ud
leading to self-transcendence or state of otherness.\ud
As such, the work engages with the body and\ud
materials, experimentally and in a trans-disciplinary\ud
manner to inform new material practice
Nearness and revealing : The edible veil of the sensible being.
No full textTaking cues from the fragility and grace enfolded within Asian cuisine, this paper explores recent experimentation of an edible rice paper veil. The veil fashions a 'secondary skin', what Jeffery Schnapp the author of 'The Fabric of Modern Times', calls an "object for prosthetic shelf extension...bearing a uniquely intimate and direct relation to the human body" (Schnapp, 1997:197). The process reveals a layered material mutable to moisture and humidity, changing its elastic state in relation to body and surroundings. The moving, breathing, sweating surface of the body further modifies both veil and bodily experience drawing forth deeper emotional responses. The implications here offer a reciprocal affect, a revealing, where new materiality evokes the threshold to a new sensible being, one aware of the depth of material consciousness and inter-corporeal engagement, and which extends the relations between thinking and being of Heidegger and Shklovsky's seminal works

Refleksja nad literaturą w polskim piśmiennictwie emigracyjnym
No full textThe study by Andrzej Karcz is devoted to a phenomenon which is worthy of reflection, but which had so far not gained the recognition it deserves. Researchers specialising in foreign literature after 1939 paid attention to the literary and poetic works in particular, passing over the unquestionable contributions of émigré criticism in the analysis of the works by Polish and foreign writers. The author confronts this omission, carrying out an analysis of critical works by people of different intellectual origins and literary interests, whose competencies and achievements do not raise any doubts as to the aptness of this choice . . . The author shows evidence of his ability to skilfully analyse the literary works by Terlecki, Miłosz and Herling-Grudziński, as well as of his knowledge of their attitudes to literature.

Studium marginalizacji – Andrzej Drawicz w polskiej przestrzeni opinii o Rosji
No full textThe aim of the article is to show the evolution of structural divisions within Polish elites from the perspective of changes in Polish-Russian relations after 1989. In order to describe the formation of the Polish space of opinion on the topic, the author interprets the unexpected marginalization of the famous Russian expert Andrzej Drawicz (1939–1997) in the Third Polish Republic. The article contributes to an understanding of the dynamics shaping Polish debates about Russia, and also – by tracing Drawicz’s career trajectory – presents a model of biographical analysis that allows the social dimension to be taken into account

Trace of the author, the author as a trace
No full textIn this paper the author discusses a problem of return of the author, which
has been accentuated in the contemporary humanistic thought following the 60s
and 70s’ dominant theme of subject’s death; as well as various ways of understanding
of this reconnection of the subject to the source text. The author focuses
mainly on the problem of a widely understood trace as a form of the author’s
presence in the text. Such an approach has been already adopted by Barthes in his
Sade Fourier Loyola, and in Poland by Małgorzata Czermińska. Andrzej Zawadzki
perceives "trace" as "weak" presence of the author (in the meaning roughly drafted
by the so-called weak ontology), however this weakness is not contained in
a perspective of the author’s death but may constitute such a conceptualization of
the idea of text subjectivity which allows us to avoid problems of a dichotomy of
the "strong" subject present in the modern theory of literature (and philosophy),
i.e. a de-personifi ed subject, or a subject which is external and precedes the text
and any cultural mediations
Price and quality competitiveness of socialist countries'exports
No full textIn this report the authors have analyzed pricing of the centrally planned economies (CPEs) in the highly competitive export markets of the EC countries in the first half of the 1980s. They found that the CPEs'export prices were lower than prices in both developed and developing countries. Manufactured goods from CPEs were underpriced an average 31 to 45 percent - even more on some commodities. Protection of EC countries doesn't seem to be a factor in CPE underpricing of manufactured goods. This could not be explained either by a deliberate policy of CPEs to penetrate Western markets. The CPEs inability to upgrade manufactured exports that are subject to quotas suggests serious quality constraints on exports of manufactured goods. They appear to underprice their manufactured exports not because of cost advantages that make them more competitive, but because most of their manufactured goods are inferior in quality to their competitors.Environmental Economics&Policies,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Economic Theory&Research,Markets and Market Access,Access to Markets
