In-Between: Transversal Values in Contemporary Social Discourses and Culture
The title concept ‘in-between’ (metaxu) refers to identity that remains in perpetual disjunction, dispersion and crisis. This book proves that ‘in-between’ is not an empty space, but a productive mode of creating new qualities, experiences, ideas and representations. The authors of individual chapters interpret selected aspects of metaxu in relevant to contemporary cultural communication areas, i.e. linguistic and more broadly semiotic, and make contemporary discourses the object of exploration. Most of the analyses are based on the Polish-language linguistic context; however, they refer to a universal perspective of culture and communication.
Masculinities and Discourses of Men's Health
This book brings together a collection of case studies that explore the relationship between health and masculinity. It covers various topics related to health, such as mental health, sexual health, eating disorders and coronavirus, and offers health-based perspectives on issues such as migration and gender identity, as these relate to masculinities. In exploring these themes, this book addresses a wide range of communicative contexts, including online forums, interviews, advertising, sex education materials, migrant integration classes, and suicide notes. This book will appeal to linguists interested in health and gender (particularly masculinities), as well as scholars in fields such as psychology, media studies, cultural studies, and other humanities and social science disciplines with a focus on discourse.
Troski egzystencjalne w starości. Ujęcie geragogiczne.
Autor stawia pytanie o postawy osób zbliżających się do kresu swojego życia wobec najgłębiej ukrytych niepokojów wywołanych skończonością człowieka i o sposoby radzenia sobie z nimi. By na nie odpowiedzieć, podejmuje badania pozwalające na dokonanie głębokiego wglądu w problematykę trosk egzystencjalnych badanych osób (lęk tanatyczny, samotność, cierpienie, sens i bezsens życia, bilans życiowy) oraz sposobów doświadczania własnej starości.

Discourses of Men’s Suicide Notes
Deaths by suicide are high: every 40 seconds, someone in the world chooses to end their life. Despite acknowledgement that suicide notes are social texts, there has been no book which analyzes suicide notes as discursive texts and no attempt at a qualitative discourse analysis of them. Discourses of Men's Suicide Notes redresses this gap in the literature. Focussing on men and masculinity and anchored in qualitative discourse analysis, Dariusz Galasinski responds to the need for a more thorough understanding of suicidal behaviour. Culturally, men have been posited to be 'masters of the universe' and yet some choose to end their lives. This book takes a qualitative approach to data gathered from the Polish Corpus of Suicide Notes, a unique repository of over 600 suicide notes, to explore discourse from and about men at the most traumatic juncture of their lives. Discussing how men construct suicide notes and the ways in which they position their relationships and identities within them, Discourses of Men's Suicide Notes seeks to understand what these notes mean and what significance and power they are invested with.
Discursive Constructions of the Suicidal Process
What is suicide? When does suicide start and when does it end? Who is involved? Examining narratives of suicide through a discourse analytic framework, Discursive Constructions of the Suicidal Process demonstrates how linguistic theories and methodologies can help answer these questions and cast light upon what suicide involves and means, both for those who commit an act and their loved ones. Engaging in close analysis of suicide letters written before the act and post-hoc narratives from after the event, this book is the first qualitative study to view suicide not as a single event outside time, but as a time-extended process. Exploring how suicide is experienced and narrated from two temporal perspectives, Dariusz Galasinski and Justyna Ziólkowska introduce discourse analysis to the field of suicidology. Arguing that studying suicide narratives and the reality they represent can add significantly to our understanding of the process, and in particular its experiences and meanings, Discursive Constructions of the Suicidal Process demonstrates the value of discourse analytic insights in informing, enriching and contextualising our knowledge of suicide.
Lingwistyka kryminalistyczna
W czerwcu 2017 roku w Instytucie Filologii Polskiej Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego odbyła się konferencja pt. „Lingwistyka kryminalistyczna w Polsce. Teoria i praktyka”, która została zorganizowana we współpracy z Ośrodkiem Lingwistyki Kryminalistycznej (Aston University). Spotkanie to stało się inspiracją do przygotowania niniejszej publikacji, która znacznie wykracza poza problematykę poruszaną w ramach obrad. Udało się bowiem zgromadzić w jednym miejscu nie tyko teksty wystąpień konferencyjnych, ale także teksty zamówione oraz przedruki z publikacji z zakresu lingwistyki kryminalistycznej, które ukazały się dotychczas w Polsce, lecz są bardzo rozproszone, co niezm...
