Individualism and the Rise of Democracy in Poland
"This book investigates the long-term preconditions of lasting and successful democratization. It counters conventional wisdom that they are a matter of proper institutional design, or that the political culture of democracy is a by-product of modernizing economic change. Instead, it argues that achieving lasting democracy is difficult without a prior breakthrough to individualism: a system of beliefs centered on the belief in one's inner worth and in one's inner capacity for judgment. The rise of an individualist belief system that is widely proliferated in society requires social conditions that are in turn hard to meet, including a widespread breakdown of traditional culture, a frontier e...
Plant Aquaporins
Aquaporins are channel proteins that facilitate the diffusion of water and small uncharged solutes across cellular membranes. Plant aquaporins form a large family of highly divergent proteins that are involved in many different physiological processes. This book will summarize the recent advances regarding plant aquaporins, their phylogeny, structure, substrate specificity, mechanisms of regulation and roles in various important physiological processes related to the control of water flow and small solute distribution at the cell, tissue and plant level in an ever-changing environment.
Tadeusz Różewicz and Modern Identity in Poland since the Second World War
As Andrzej Mencwel observed, “as a result of fundamental historical changes” the need arises for “restructuring of the whole present memory and tradition system” (Rodzinna Europa po raz pierwszy). Changes of such significance took place in Poland during the Second World War and several following decades. Collective experience of that time was made up of – apart from political antagonisms – social and cultural phenomena such as change of elites, reinterpretation of their grand narratives (or symbolic world), the ultimate inclusion of the masses into the national project based on the post-gentry tradition and national history, the intensive development of urban lifestyle and the ex...
Notes from the Future of Art
"Notes From the Future of Art" is the first English language publication by Jerzy Ludwinski (1930-2000), the Polish art historian, critic, curator, founder of the Mona Lisa Gallery in Wroclaw, founder and mentor of the "structural art" pioneers Grupa Zamek, editor of the group's magazine "Struktury" and professor at the Polish Academy of Fine Arts. Ludwinski dissolved the compartmentalization of all these vocations in the course of his career, operating on the periphery of the state system as an informal éminence grise to Poland's avant-garde during the 50s and 60s. Ludwinski argued that "art" was no longer an appropriate designation for what was done in its name: "It is quite possible...that today we do not practice art any longer, simply because we have missed the moment when it transformed into something quite different, which we are unable to name. It is certain, however, that what we practice today presents greater possibilities."
