The Journals Of A White Sea Wolf
In 1991 Mariusz Wilk, a Polish journalist long fascinated by the mysteries of the Russian soul, decided to take up residence in the Solovki islands, a lonely archipelago lost amid the far northern reaches of Russia's White Sea. For Wilk these islands represented the quintessence of Russia: a place of exile and a microcosm of the crumbling Soviet empire. On the one hand, they were a cradle of the Orthodox faith and home to an important monastery; on the other, it was here that the first experimental gulag was built after the 1917 revolution. Over the course of years Wilk came to know every single one of the islands' 1000 or so residents. From his remote home, from which he sent regular despatches to the Paris-based Polish newspaper Kultura, he attempted to observe and come to terms with the complexities and contradictions of Russian history, its glorious past and the cruelty of Soviet Communism. In the process, he has written a most unusual travel book, a beautifully descriptive work that belongs in the best tradition of writers such as Norman Lewis, Patrick Leigh Fermor and Claudio Magris.
Niezatrudnieniowe wymiary aktywizacji. W stronę modelu empowerment?
Autorzy monografii wyrażają nadzieję, że analizy i refleksje zawarte w tomie staną się zaczynem do debaty o kształcie prospołecznego modelu aktywizacji i szansach jego upowszechnienia w naszym kraju, ale także do oceny dotychczas prowadzonych działań aktywizujących. Innymi słowy, autorzy podejmują wyzwanie przemyślenia na nowo (rethinking) polskiego modelu aktywizacji, z intencją nadania mu jednoznacznie prospołecznych rysów, przy uwzględnieniu zarówno obywatelskich uprawnień, których gwarantem powinno pozostawać państwo, jak i obywatelskich zobowiązań jednostek wobec społeczności, bez których społeczeństwo (na poziomie makro) i społeczności (na poziomie mezz...
Understanding Football Hooliganism
Football hooliganism periodically generates widespread political and public anxiety. In spite of the efforts made and resources invested over the past decades, football hooliganism is still perceived by politicians, policymakers and media as a disturbing social problem. This highly readable book provides the first systematic and empirically grounded comparison of football hooliganism in different national and local contexts. Focused around the six Western European football clubs on which the author did his research, the book shows how different clubs experience and understand football hooliganism in different ways. The development and effects of anti-hooligan policies are also assessed. The emphasis throughout is on the importance of context, social interaction and collective identity for understanding football hooliganism. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in football culture, hooliganism and collective violence.

Nauki o polityce publicznej
W 1928 r. Florian Znaniecki postulował utworzenie w Polsce instytutu socjologii stosowanej; uważał, że socjologia ma największe walory praktycznej przydatności, także dla polityk publicznych, dla projektowania rozwiązań problemów społecznych. W pewnym sensie postulat Znanieckiego urzeczywistniony został w 1972 roku przez powołanie w Uniwersytecie Warszawskim, z inicjatywy Adama Podgóreckiego, Czesława Czapówa i Marii Łoś oraz Sekcji Socjotechniki Polskiego Towarzystwa Socjologicznego, pozawydziałowego Instytutu Profilaktyki Społecznej i Resocjalizacji, którego zadaniem miało być prowadzenie badań i sporządzanie ekspertyz problemów społecznych dla potrzeb polityki i...
