According to the legend, in May1973 David Bowie was travelling through Poland back from a tourist journey from Moscow. At the Warszawa Gdanska station the train had a very long technical stop. It was used by the British artist to walk into the city and by chance buy a vinyl with the songs performed by the folklore band “Slask” at a local music store. We can find echoes of this accidental meeting today on his album “LOW” in the song “Warszawa”. We would like to follow this path and that is why we decided to focus on the topic of the influence of Polish culture on the broadly understood world culture and technology.
You are welcome to contribute to the newest issue of the ‘Uniwersyteckie Czasopismo Socjologiczne / Academic Journal of Sociology’. The topic of the issues will be one hundred and fifty years of the influence of Polish culture on world science, literature, music and technology.
You are expected to focus on the topics in sociology, cultural studies, musicology, literary studies, and history. They will touch upon the strong Polish accent of the global reception of its cultural systems, which would be treated on two different levels:
a) As the influence of the Polish culture in the form of famous names of Polish artists;
b) And as the reception and presence of elements of the Polish culture in the works of foreign artists, scientists and other creative personalities.
The texts that touch upon the following issues, are especially welcome:
– the influence of Polish scientists on the world science, among them Aleksander Czekanowski, Stefan Banach (we would happily accept articles also about the works of Florian Znaniecki or Ludwig Gumplowicz);
– the influence of Polish male and female writers and poets on world literature (W. Gombrowicz, R. Gary, W. Szymborska), referring to the last name of the famous poet, a Noble Prize winner, we would be happy to accept, among others, articles about the work of the other Polish Nobel Prize winners);
– the influence of the Polish composers, musicians as well as painters and directors that remained outside Poland (Mieczyslaw Weinberg, Zbigniew Preisner, Roman Polanski, Zdzislaw Beksinski);
– the reception of Polish science in tje global technology (e.g. the discoveries of the ancestor of the “Silicon valley” Jan Czochralski or K-202 by Jacek Karpinski)
– the reception of Polish culture in music, science, literature, photography, cinematography etc.
Deadline for the abstract/outline submission:
31 December 2020 to email: m.choczynski@uksw.edu.pl
Deadline for the paper submission:
31 January 2021 to email: m.choczynski@uksw.edu.pl

Call for Papers – ESA RS1 – After Weber: Making Alternative Ethical Rationalities ‘Knowable’
15th Conference of the European Sociological Association
Barcelona, Spain / 31 August- 3 September 2021
Deadline: 15 February, 2021
RS1 – After Weber: Making Alternative Ethical Rationalities ´Knowable`
With his relentless work in defining the patterns of sociological analysis, both in conceptual and methodological terms, Weber has been one of the authors who has contributed the most to the objectivity of sociological knowledge, especially with regard to alternatives to positivism in social sciences.
By emphasizing an actor’s multiple perspectives, the distinction between fact and value, as well as between behaviour and action, Weber has helped to establish the field of comprehensive sociology on solid foundations. Indeed, the Weberian concept of verstehen, recognizing social actors as knowing subjects, seeks to explore their motivations, as well as their morals embodied in social practices. However, Weber never ceased to worry about the hegemony of the ongoing rationalization processes, especially with what he called the «disenchantment of the world», where social action guided by values and the coherence of meaning was increasingly losing its centrality.
Actually, for Weber, the extrication of the individual resides precisely on values as references to the methodical ordering of ways of life, in the sense that values were constituted as a reservoir of ethical alternatives to counter the hegemony of instrumental rationality. Weber’s work can be seen from this perspective as an attempt to understand how different cultures might generate knowledge and reconstruct the social world from their ethical practices.
The aim of this RS is to bring together empirical or theoretical proposals, of different sensitivities and backgrounds, which reflect on alternative ethical rationalities (ecological, cosmopolitan, etc.), their significance, and the way their meaning can be accessed.
