Before the Heart Fell Silent
O Girl! O girl! Fondling your swan-like neck, there sits, Upon your shoulder now, this little dove; Delighted so and thrilled out of his wits, He’s bringing you your maiden dawn of love. You can’t understand what the dove may coo, Although there’s love and longing in this art; He’d rather not be passionate with you, So as to keep desires out of your heart… Taking the thorns, he’ll softly fly away; Perhaps, you’ll never meet again therefore… But when you think of this affair one day, You’ll know that no one ever loved you more!
Sonety ziem rzadkich
A kiedy ciebie: „Skąd jesteś?” spytają, Ty na dzień dobry nie możesz im ulec; Wyrobić musisz w sobie ten hamulec I niczym kamień milczeć przed tą zgrają.

Roma-Gypsy Presence in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
This is an analysis of 166 original and previously unpublished documents dating from the very first mention of a Gypsy in 1401 up to the year 1 765. These documents range from royal decrees thru lawsuits to entries in municipal records. Some were written in Polish but many are in Latin, German or Ruthenian. They tell the story of not only the Gypsies living in Poland, but also of those who now live in Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine. Though Poland has not traditionally had a large Roma population, the author leads the reader through an eventful history of a people living on the margins of contemporary Europe. The historic documents illustrate a marked contrast to present stereotypes and popular media images and shows how the position of Roma/Gypsies shifted gradually from respected, wealthy and partly settled citizens of the early modern times, towards criminalized vagrants of the 18 th century. This is a careful interpretation and re-interpretation of documents pertaining to the Roma's past that will provide an enlightening historical perspective towards the re-evaluation and self-definition of the Romani people in contemporary Europe.
Re-Thinking Agency
The book explores the multi-faceted nature of contemporary reflections on agency, focusing on various discursive practices that shape the posthumanist approach to the relationship between the human and non-human world from a planetary perspective. The chapters delve into critical human-animal studies, examine new non-anthropocentric identity constructs, and offer analyses that reinterpret meanings through semiotic inversions and challenge static cultural patterns. The book concludes with discussions on decolonization practices that aim to liberate agency from oppressive systems, particularly those dominated by imperial phallogocentrism.
Crossed Histories
Crossed Histories represents a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to "Manchuria" under Japan’s influence from the turn of the twentieth century to 1945. The contributors, who represent the fields of history, literature, film studies, sociology, and anthropology, unpack the complexity of Manchuria as an effect of the geopolitical imaginaries of various individuals and groups shaped by imperialism, colonialism, Pan-Asianism, and the present globalization. Manchuria is thus examined in the imaginations of a Chinese journalist and his Shanghai readers in the 1930s; prewar Japanese city planners and architects; a Manchu princess later executed by the Chinese nationalist government; various audiences of Japanese "goodwill films" of the 1930s and 1940s; the seven thousand Poles who immigrated to northern Manchuria in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the state makers of Manchukuo (which included both Japanese and Chinese leaders) and North and South Korea during the Cold War era; and a student of Manchuria Nation- Building University in the mid-1940s.

Mury. Historia cywilizacji
Przez tysiące lat ludzie budowali mury i atakowali je, podziwiali je i się przeciw nim buntowali. Wielkie Mury wyrosły niemal na każdym kontynencie, w Persji, Rzymie, Chinach, Ameryce Środkowej i nie tylko. Towarzyszyły powstawaniu miast, narodów i imperiów. A jednak rzadko pojawiają się w podręcznikach historii. David Frye odkrywa historię murów tych starożytnych i tych całkiem współczesnych, i zadaje pytania, które są zarówno intrygujące, jak i głębokie. Czy mury umożliwiły rozwój cywilizacji? Czy możemy bez nich żyć? Historia murów staje się czymś więcej niż opowieścią o cegłach i kamieniu; staje się opowieścią o tym, kim jesteśmy i jak się takimi staliśmy. To nic innego jak historia cywilizacji.
Ziemianki
Postępowe dobrodziejki czy strażniczki patriarchatu? Szkoła w Nałęczowie, działająca w pierwszej połowie XX wieku, wpisuje się w ostatni rozdział historii polskiego ziemiaństwa. W prowadzonej przez ziemianki placówce nauczano kobiety z różnych klas – choć w założeniu przede wszystkim chłopki – fachowego prowadzenia gospodarstwa. Marta Strzelecka rozmawia z rodzinami nauczycielek pracujących niegdyś w nałęczowskiej szkole oraz z dziećmi i krewnymi absolwentek, zgłębia archiwa, międzywojenną prasę, prace naukowe i zastanawia się, jak układały się relacje między ziemiankami i chłopkami i jakie znaczenie miały starania pań z dworów, by zbliżyć do siebie...
