Słowa, słowa... Czy je znasz? edited by Teresa Smółkowa (Kraków 2013), despite the fact that it has been recorded the male equivalents (eg. lack of forms jajcara, siecioholiczka, zasiłkowiczka, although there are jajcarz, siecioholik, zasiłkowicz). The authors proved the presence of such potential female names in the National Corpus of Polish and on the Internet using Google search. Of the 263 units unrecorded in the lexicon until 218 are present – with varying attendance – in the tested texts. This means that these female names are present in the social use. They do not limit themselves to the female equivalent of male names of professions. They also include semantic categories such as sports and hobbies, and names: representatives of certain attitudes and beliefs, women with specific characteristics of mental (including addicted women) and physical (including sick women), Internet users (including online offenders). These names are the result of suffixal derivation, mainly using the suffix -ka, eg. erasmuska < erasmus, netoholiczka < netoholik (but also such as: -ini/-yni, -ica/-yca, -anka and -ara), and the paradigmatic derivation, eg. dredziara < dredziarz, sprawna inaczej < sprawny inaczej. Functioning described in the article female names in the social circuit is proof that in the past ten years there has been a significant change in the Polish language in the pragmatic aspects of the nomination of women.

Abstract The onset of Professor Jacek Fisiak’s scholarly career is marked by his 1961 Ph.D. dissertation devoted to the lexical influence of English upon Polish. This study, conducted 55 years ago, offers a multilayered analysis and sets the standards of studies on lexical transfer from English to Polish for the years to come. The present article is a tribute to Fisiak’s first scholarly endeavor; it examines the fate of lexical items comprising Fisiak’s corpus in the second decade of the 21st century. More specifically, by conducting searches in the National Corpus of Polish as well as a Google search, the paper checks which borrowings to the Polish language listed and scrutinized by Fisiak gained popularity, which fell out of use, and which underwent semantic changes.

Background The aesthetics of facial structure are used by humans to measure one's beauty, character, and overall “goodness.” Individuals born with cleft lip and/or palate are often stigmatized and face much psychosocial adversity. Social attitudes and beliefs have a direct impact upon the psychological development of these individuals. Such social norms are in large part shaped by the physical representations of “good” and “attractive” in various art media including films, advertisements, and paintings. Objective Individuals born with a cleft have been portrayed in the artworks of different eras. The light in which they are portrayed stems from the prevalent beliefs of each period and sheds light on the social attitudes of each epoch toward clefts. Here we discuss the social and psychological ramifications of these works. We then review several artworks representing cleft lip and/or palate and propose an active role for the artist in shaping social attitudes regarding facial deformities. Methods Numerous articles and works of arts were examined and inspected for signs of facial deformity, with particular attention to cleft lip and/or palate. Conclusion Social media have an important role in defining the norms of society. Much of the art of the past has depicted negatively individuals born with cleft lip and/or palate deformity, thus excluding them from the norm. In order to decrease the negative social stigmas of cleft lip and/or palate, it is now the responsibility of society to widen its range of norms to include individuals born with these deformities through “normal” representations in the various media.

Internet and social media, as highly interactive platforms, enable two way-communication and content generation which was unprecedented in history. In the past, the media were decisive about content that should be presented, and what public impact it might have (Giessen, 2015). User-generated content provided an opportunity for single Internet users to reach large audiences in the same way as content originating from the traditional mass-media. Web 3.0 and Meta Web introduced a new myriad of available solutions and opportunities (Tarabasz, 2013). Smart technologies and integration networks of Web 4.0, with an ability to detect intentions and goals of the users and offer solutions based on users` preferences and habits (Benhaddi, 2017) are opening an entirely new dimension of the social media: digital identity becomes part of the identity of the Internet users.

No se estudian aquí las letras violentas de las canciones, sino el espacio “detonador” o “liberador” de agresividad y violencia constituido por los espacios de intercomunicación en internet. Queda claro que la violencia/agresividad no se origina en las canciones, sino que las canciones puestas en un espacio de expresión libre en internet provocan una catarsis social que revela mucha miseria humana: sentimiento de inferioridad, soledad y rabia que se expresan en un seudonacionalismo y un machismo exacerbados, en la idealización y sobrevaloración del lugar de origen, en la homofobia (como insultos) y la glorificación de los narcos. El análisis de los discursos violentos desatados en torno a los narcocorridos en YouTube revela el despertar de viejos demonios desculpabilizados (allí no existe lo “políticamente correcto”): racismo y lealtades cuasi-feudales hacia los señores de la droga y sus territorios. ¿Dónde quedó México como nación si presenciamos una acérrima lucha verbal entre “territorios” de los carteles? La violencia virtual expresada en estos comentarios es la consecuencia de violencias padecidas a causa de la marginación social: el ciclo vicioso del desprecio cuando la auto-estimación debe transitar por la humillación del otro (¡aún cuando sea mi hermano en la desgracia!) en lugar de revertirse contra un sistema que los margina.Abstract: We are not going to analyze the words of the narcocorridos, but to study the social use and function that the Mexican Internet users do with the sites dedicated to the narcocorridos on YouTube as spaces that permit to detonate and liberate aggressiveness. The purpose of this paper is to examine the violence of their comments. It is clear that this violence/aggressiveness is not directly produced by the songs, but that these songs placed in a space of free expression on the internet are causing a social catharsis which reveals a great human misery: feelings of inferiority, loneliness and social anger which expresses themselves through a pseudonationalism and a machismo exacerbated by the idealization and the upper-valuation of their native regions, by homophobia (used as insult) and the glorification of the traffickers. Analysis of the comments sent to YouTube on narcocorridos videos shows the revival and resurgence of old evils, now free of guilt (here the politically correct does not exist), such as racism and neo-feudal loyalty to the drug lords and their territories. Face to these comments, one may ask the question whether Mexico as a built-nation still exists in the imaginary political Mexican world, or if whether it has moved backwards to a sum of territories at the drug cartels service. Virtual violence expressed in these hate-speeches is the result of other violence rooted in the social marginalization: it is the vicious circle of contempt where the self esteem must pass by the humiliation of the other (even when companion of the same misfortune), instead of turning against a system that marginalized them.Résumé : Il ne s’agit pas ici d’analyser les paroles des chansons, mais d’étudier l’usage et la fonction sociale que font les internautes mexicains des sites consacrés aux narcocorridos sur YouTube comme espaces détonateurs et libérateurs d’agressivité. La violence de leurs commentaires fait l’objet de cette étude. Il est clair que cette violence/agressivité n’est pas directement produite par les chansons, mais que ces chansons placées dans un espace de libre expression sur Internet provoquent une catharsis sociale qui révèle une grande misère humaine: sentiments d’infériorité, solitude et rage sociale qui s’expriment par un pseudonationalisme et un machisme exacerbés, par l’idéalisation et la survalorisation du terroir d’origine, par l’homophobie (utilisée comme insulte) et la glorification des narcotrafiquants. L’analyse des commentaires envoyés à You- Tube à propos des vidéos de narcocorridos montre le réveil ou la réapparition de vieux démons déculpabilisés (ici le politiquement correct n’existe pas): racisme et loyauté quasiféodale envers les seigneurs de la drogue et leurs territoires. Face à ces commentaires, on peut se poser la question de savoir si, dans l’imaginaire mexicain, le Mexique existe encore comme nation ou n’est plus qu’une somme de territoires inféodés aux cartels de la drogue. La violence virtuelle exprimée dans ces discours est le résultat d’autres violences qui s’enracinent dans la marginalisation sociale: c’est le cercle vicieux du mépris où l’estime de soi doit transiter par l’humiliation de l’autre (quand bien même il s’agit du frère/compagnon d’infortune), au lieu de se retourner contre un système qui les marginalise.

En este texto se reflexiona sobre: los usos sociales de la fotografía en la construcción social del pasado de Villa Guillermina, comunidad de origen foresto-industrial. Se aborda el tema considerando: antecedentes históricos involucrados, contexto de emergencia de dichas memorias, y público receptor. Se analiza la tensión, que generan las memorias contrapuestas, sobre un pasado comunitario. Y se observan las estrategias utilizadas por los actores sociales para resolver, en la práctica, el dilema de las memorias disidentes. En este sentido se observa, en el Museo, cómo se expresa este conflicto con las fotografías, presentes y ausentes, las cuales orientan el relato sobre ese pasado comunitario. Palabras clave: Museo. Fotografías. Memorias. Conflicto. Turismo.   Images and Memory: The social use of photographs in the re-elaboration of a common past   Abstract   In this text we reflect on the social uses of photography in the social construction of the past at Villa Guillermina, a community of forest-industrial origin. We address the topic considering the historical background, the context for the emergency of such memories, and the recipient public. We analyze the tension created by opposed memories in the re-elaboration of the past. And we observe the strategies used by social actors to solve, in practice, the dilemma of dissenting memories. In this sense, we observe how the conflict appears in the photographic exhibition presented at the Museum. Keywords: Museum. Photographs. Memories. Conflict. Tourism.

The chapter deals with the role of the [±native] marking in the formation of deverbal adjectives terminating in the suffix -alny in Polish and attributes the rise in the productivity of the suffix in the past fifty years to the linguistic influence of English. It is argued that the influx and subsequent adaptation of English verbs coupled with the speakers’ awareness that -able and -alny discharge similar roles in their respective systems of word formation has a role to play in raising the productivity of the suffix. A frequency analysis supported by diachronic information conducted on the National Corpus of the Polish Language reveals that the rule produces twice as many hapax legomena in the foreign subdomain. However, the formation of -alny derivatives on borrowed or adapted stems seems to have given a new impulse to the formation of passive potential adjectives based on native bases. This is due to the fact that, counter to what previous analyses concluded, the rule is operative on transitive eventive verbs forming aspectual pairs irrespective of whether they are [±native].

Instant messaging (IM) was introduced in 1996. In the past few years, the majority of IM users have been teenagers. As the young IM users gradually enter the workforce, it is likely that their familiarity with IM will increase its acceptance as a business application. Consequently, the potential impact of IM in the workplace has become an important organizational issue. This study investigated the usefulness of IM for both social and work-related uses from young users' perspectives. A survey of over 500 college-age IM users was conducted. The survey data were used to identify factors that were important to the usefulness of IM. The results showed that young users correlated different features of IM with different aspects of usefulness. The ability to facilitate friendship development and personalized communication was viewed as an important feature for the social use of IM; for work-related uses, information richness and information volume were deemed as more desirable features for IM. The findings can be used as a foundation for future studies using knowledge workers in the workplace.

The extensive commercial success of two well-made popular television drama serials screened in the UK at prime time on Sunday evenings during the winter of 2011–12, Downton Abbey (ITV, 2010–) and Call the Midwife (BBC, 2012–), has appeared to consolidate the recent resurgence of the period drama during the 1990s and 2000s, as well as reassembling something like a mass audience for woman-centred realist narratives at a time when the fracturing and disassembling of such audiences seemed axiomatic. While ostensibly different in content, style and focus, the two programmes share a number of distinctive features, including a range of mature female characters who are sufficiently well drawn and socially diverse as to offer a profoundly pleasurable experience for the female viewer seeking representations of aging femininity that go beyond the sexualised body of the ‘successful ager’. Equally importantly, these two programmes present compelling examples of the ‘conjunctural text’, which appears at a moment of intense political polarisation, marking struggles over consent to a contemporary political position by re-presenting the past. Because both programmes foreground older women as crucial figures in their respective communities, but offer very different versions of the social role and ideological positioning that this entails, the underlying politics of such nostalgia becomes apparent. A critical analysis of these two versions of Britain's past thus highlights the ideological investments involved in period drama and the extent to which this ‘cosy’ genre may legitimate or challenge contemporary political claims.

This article begins with a parody, a fictitious set of regulations for the production of “traditional” Italian polenta. Through analysis of primary and secondary historical sources we then discuss the various meanings of which polenta has been the bearer through time and space in order to emphasize the mutability of the modes of preparation, ingredients, and the social value of traditional food products. Finally, we situate polenta within its broader cultural, political, and economic contexts, underlining the uses and abuses of rendering foods as traditional—a process always incomplete, often contested, never organic. In stirring up the past and present of polenta and placing it within both the projects of Italian identity creation and the broader scholarly literature on culinary tradition and taste, we emphasize that for so-called traditional foods to be saved, they must be continually reinvented.
