A constitutional feature of creativity is its ability to transcend what is fixed, tamed and predictable, both individually and globally, at the microcosmic and macrocosmic level ; to transcend what is within us and outside us. The author of the article analyzes the following issues: is there a positive aspect to creativity understood as the act of transcendence? And, given such an understanding of creativity, are all acts of creation, whether they involve the creation of great works of art, the pursuit of science, the processes of education and upbringing, or simply the resolution of daily problems, more spiritual than intellectual? 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/19848 Tytuł: Determinants of the Content and Creation of Modern Television Series. Selected Issues Autorzy: Arcimowicz, Krzysztof Abstrakt: The aim of this article is to present the most important factors affecting the creation and content of two different genres of television series– Polish television sagas and American post-soap operas. The analysis which I have carried out in the field allows the formulation of several conclusions. The creation of the two genres is similar. In both cases the most important people are the producers and scriptwriters and the most important criteria used for the assessment of a production are audience ratings and economic factors. Polish television sagas and American post-soaps are often very different with regard to their content and the ways they present social issues. The reasons for the differences include: genre convention, expectations of viewers, social and cultural context, and the emergence of commercial subscription television in the United States. At the turn of the 21st century HBO, an American pay television provider, followed by other stations began to produce shows which, even though they have originated from older television forms, break the ties with their antecedents. Makers of post-soaps address sensitive social issues and create their characters in an original and often controversial way. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/19846 Tytuł: „And What is a Beautiful Poem”? Reflections of a Poet on Vlad Petre Glăveanu’s The Psychology of Creativity: A Critical Reading Autorzy: Citko, Katarzyna Abstrakt: I fully subscribe to Glăveanu’s opinions. I am not a psychologist, but as someone who specialises in culture and at the same time, as a poet, I believe that if the psychology of creativity is to say something truthful about the creative process, it should open up to the inner life of artists and to statistically unmeasurable processes such as talent and inspiration, rather than devise and carry out laboratory experiments. Therefore, encouraged by Glăveanu to pose innovative questions, in my article I ask about the essence of poetic inspiration, that is able to create images and lies at the root of metaphor which emerges in the mind of an artist. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/19288 Tytuł: Wspólnota fanowska na przykładzie Bastionu Polskich Fanów Star Wars Autorzy: Mogielnicki, Igor Abstrakt: This article explores the concept of fan communities within participatory culture, using the example of the Bastion of the Polish Star Wars Fans. The purpose is to understand how this particular community realises the model of participatory culture by examining how the fans engage with the Star Wars series. The analysis of posts on the community’s website reveals two groups of fans: affirmative and creative. Affirmative fans primarily engage in discussions, criticism, and analysis of Star Wars, as well as in collecting related items. On the other hand, creative fans not only discuss the series, but also create their own works such as films, graphics, and stories based on it. This highlights the different ways in which fans interact with the cultural text and establish social relationships with others who share their interests. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
