Revindication of religious organizations’ properties in Poland : Thirty years’ experience of building a democratic state ruled by law

2022

Celem tego artykułu jest analiza przepisów, na mocy których odbywa się w Polsce po 1989 r. rewindykacja nieruchomości osób prawnych związków wyznaniowych upaństwowionych w okresie Polski Ludowej. Omówiono w nim zarówno tryby, jak i sposoby regulacji spraw majątkowych wyznaniowych osób prawnych, uwzględniając liczne zmiany stanu prawnego wprowadzane kolejnymi nowelizacjami przepisów oraz ewolucję ich wykładni dokonywanej przez judykaturę i doktrynę. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na dyskusyjne kwestie prawne, w tym na nieuprawnione zróżnicowanie sytuacji prawnej poszczególnych związków wyznaniowych. Przeprowadzone w artykule analizy prowadzą do wniosku, że ustawodawca konsekwentnie uwłaszczył wsz…

Borgese e la cittadinanza americana

2016

International audience; Spedendo la seconda lettera a Mussolini (18 ottobre 1934) in cui ribadisce con fermezza il suo rifiuto di prestare giuramento al fascismo, Borgese rompe definitivamente i ponti con l'Italia e la permanenza negli Stati-Uniti dello scrittore iniziata nel 1931 si trasforma in un esilio « ufficiale e irreparabile ». Negli anni successivi, sebbene egli nutra sentimenti ambivalenti nei confronti della società americana, Borgese è mosso da una strenua volontà di integrazione. Comincia così una nuova vita suggellata nel 1938 dal conseguimento della cittadinanza americana e nel 1939 dal matrimonio con Elisabeh Mann dopo il divorzio da Maria Freschi. Disposto a ripartire da ze…

Contextualizing AMO explanations of knowledge sharing in MNEs: the role of organizational and national culture

2022

AbstractAbility, motivation, and opportunity (AMO) approaches have dominated studies of knowledge sharing in multinational enterprises (MNEs). We argue that there is a need to consider both the national and organizational cultural contexts. Beyond their direct influence on knowledge sharing with colleagues in other business units (BUs), national and organizational culture significantly reinforce the positive relation between individual motivation and knowledge sharing. Thus, our multi-level approach to knowledge sharing in MNEs gives rise to a contextualized AMO approach that provides a novel and more potent understanding of variations in knowledge sharing. At the individual level, our appr…

The strategic use of One Nation as a symbol during PMQs from J. Major to T. May

2023

One Nation, as a conceptual construct which started to develop since the 19th century has often been associated with the Conservative Party’s politics regarding their effort to bridge the gap between “the two nations” (the underprivileged and the well-off members of society) and in the elevation of the condition of the people in the UK (a requisite for social harmony). Most recent conservative Prime Ministers have been eager to present their own version of the One Nation tradition based on their views of the role the state should play (either limited or extended state intervention). David Seawright explains that these conflicting stances are not expressed in a strict polarisation within the…

The Role of Professors in the Formation of Finnish Parliamentary Life: The Struggle between Two Conceptions of Parliament

2017

The Frankfurt Parliament (1848–49) was subsequently dismissively referred to as the “Professors’ Parliament” due to its heavy representation of scholars and the academic style of its lengthy discussions. Professors have played a prominent role in the deliberations and development of other European assemblies, too. This article examines the role of professors in the formation of Finnish parliamentary life. It moreover underlines the close relationship between the academia and national politics in late nineteenth-century Finland, starting from the European revolutions of 1848. The article highlights how politically active professors, together with the newspaper press, were crucial in transfe…

Ks. dziekan Franciszek Pogrzeba (1873-1941) - duszpasterz, społecznik i górnośląski działacz plebiscytowy 1921 r

2021

The article is a contribution to the biography of the Catholic clergyman, parish priest in the parish of Łubniany located in Upper Silesia – the Rev. Franciszek Pogrzeba. He was one of the fourteen priests who signed the so-called “Appeal to Priests”, in compliance with which they broke off their cooperation with the Catholic German Center Party (Deutsche Zentrumspartei) and supported the Deputies of the “Polish Circle” in the German Parliament. After World War 1, the Rev. Pogrzeba actively engaged for incorporation of Upper Silesia into Poland. Following the division of the region, threatened by German nationalists, he had to flee to Poland, where he spent the rest of his life working as a…

The Eco-tourist in Canadian and Italian national Parks

2013

The present paper aims to compare the image of the eco-tourist across languages and cultures, Canadian and Italian. An ad-hoc comparable corpus has been created from the official websites of National Parks which represent a kind of eco-tourist destination. The analysis attempts to trace a profile of Canadian and Italian eco-tourists Drawing upon the Functional Grammar (Halliday 1985) and addresses issues connected with Hall’s model (1983): Are Canadian and Italian ecotourism discourses shaped by their own cultural orientation, or do they attempt to speak in the tongue of the displaced tourist?
