Target in Control
This concise monograph introduces and examines social influence from the perspective of the so-called target, rather than from the source, thus providing for the first time a bidirectional account of this pervasive social phenomenon, further bridging simple micro-level dyadic interaction rules with macro-level properties of the (social) system. This integrative approach allows for advanced models of influence to be developed in both the social and natural sciences (e.g. social animals). In particular, when used to investigate emergent properties of social change, this approach shows that social transitions occur as “bubbles of new” in the “sea of old.” While in the traditional view i...
La postveritat i la manca de reflexió, una nova realitat del segle XXI?
Les societats actuals estem immerses en una era de transformacions profundes a escala mundial. En aquest panorama canviant i accelerat, la imaginació sociològica, en el sentit de Wright Mills, és imprescindible. La teoria i recerca sociològiques són l’eina clau per a la comprensió dels processos socials i la mirada crítica de les nostres societats. Els últims anys han estat marcats per una sèrie de canvis inesperats i de successives crisis que ens plantegen nous reptes. La societat catalana forma part d’aquesta globalitat i d’aquestes transformacions i no és aliena a aquests canvis, ans al contrari, ha constituït un panorama social i polític que esdevé de gran interès per...
Cudownie ocalony
Książka autora serii "Sami swoi". Przedstawiona w satyrycznej konwencji historia Mikołaja Biesaga, cudownie ocalonego z pogromu w 1939 roku. Około ćwierć wieku później Biesaga postanawia spełnić niegdysiejszą obietnicę i wybudować kapliczkę, którą chce podziękować za uratowane życie. Pomysł nie spotyka się z entuzjazmem władz prowincji, gdzie zamieszkuje Mikołaj, nie wzbudza także entuzjazmu jego syna, członka PZPR. Tymczasem na wieś zostają przywiezione więźniarki, złodziejki i prostytutki, które mają odbyć resocjalizację w tutejszym pegeerze. Tekst stał się podstawą scenariusza filmu pod tym samym tytułem, wyreżyserowanego przez Janusza Zaorskiego w 2...

They Were Just People
Hitler’s attempt to murder all of Europe’s Jews almost succeeded. One reason it fell short of its nefarious goal was the work of brave non-Jews who sheltered their fellow citizens. In most countries under German control, those who rescued Jews risked imprisonment and death. In Poland, home to more Jews than any other country at the start of World War II and location of six German-built death camps, the punishment was immediate execution. This book tells the stories of Polish Holocaust survivors and their rescuers. The authors traveled extensively in the United States and Poland to interview some of the few remaining participants before their generation is gone. Tammeus and Cukierkorn unf...
The Ethical Legitimization of Criminal Law
When creating the norms of criminal law, the legislator should strive for their compatibility with the principle of human dignity while taking into account the ethical legitimacy of criminal law. This thesis is the axis around which The Ethical Legitimization of Criminal Law is constructed. Szczucki shows that criminal law is like a suit; to be a perfect fit, it has to be tailor-made. That is why he argues for three points of reference to guide moral evaluation of criminal law: first, the coherence of the legal system; second, the will of the legislator; and third, the virtues of citizens. Only by analyzing these concepts together in the context of legal culture can one answer the question of what makes good criminal law. The book concludes that an ethical perspective in analyzing, grounding, and evaluating criminal law is inevitable. Appealing to researchers, scholars, and professionals from across the criminal and legal spectrum, this book explores fundamental questions about the nature of ethical perspective in legal analysis.

Citizen’s Right to the Digital City
Edited by thought leaders in the fields of urban informatics and urban interaction design, this book brings together case studies and examples from around the world to discuss the role that urban interfaces, citizen action, and city making play in the quest to create and maintain not only secure and resilient, but productive, sustainable and viable urban environments. The book debates the impact of these trends on theory, policy and practice. The individual chapters are based on blind peer reviewed contributions by leading researchers working at the intersection of the social / cultural, technical / digital, and physical / spatial domains of urbanism scholarship. The book will appeal not only to researchers and students, but also to a vast number of practitioners in the private and public sector interested in accessible content that clearly and rigorously analyses the potential offered by urban interfaces, mobile technology, and location-based services in the context of engaging people with open, smart and participatory urban environments.
