Publikacja ta powstała jako rezultat badań nad marginesami społecznymi miasta Poznania i stanowi całość złożoną z kilkudziesięciu opracowań pod wspólnym tytułem „Życie na skraju – marginesy społeczne wielkiego miasta”, proponując szerokie tematycznie spektrum marginalizacji społecznej, od perspektywy historycznej miasta Poznania, po współczesne problemy jego mieszkańców, funkcjonujących na marginesach różnych przestrzeni społecznych miasta. Zróżnicowany charakter publikacji wynika z międzyśrodowiskowego charakteru badań, łączącego w jeden zespół zarówno pracowników naukowych jak i praktyków, wywodzących się z poznańskich instytucji i organizacji...
Play allows the fulfilment of one’s dreams, yet also teaches subjugation to the norms governing daily life. Furthermore, traditional forms of play, transmitted from one generation to another, guarantee a culture’s continuance and perpetuation in time.

Play invalidates social divisions, but also diversifies behaviours through the introduction of changes in the rules, depending on the age of those engaged. Furthermore, it adapts to the forms by which social reality is created, as well as that reality’s goals, which, in turn, impart sense and meaning to something which, of its own nature, seems deprived thereof.

The project presents an overview of Medieval (and post-medieval) Latin Literatures as a global phenomenon including both Europe and extra-European regions. It serves as an introduction to medieval Latin's complex and multi-layered culture, whose attraction has been underestimated un...
This edited volume aims to advance a Muslim-centered perspective on the study of Islam in Europe. To do so, it brings together a range of case studies that illustrate how European Muslims engaged with their Sacred Scripture while being part of a Christian-dominated social and political space. The research presented in this volume seeks to analyse Muslims’ practices of translating, interpreting and using the Qur’an as a sacred object and, thus, pursues three main research agendas. Part I focuses on the issues of Muslim-Christian relations in Europe and studies how these relations have engendered discursive connections between Muslim- and Christian-produced texts related to the study and i...
