Teachers’ Identity Tensions and Related Coping Strategies : Interaction With the Career Stages and Socio-Political Context
2022
When external requirements conflict with teachers’ personal beliefs and values, the resulting internal struggles can lead to identity tensions. Contributing to discussion on teachers’ identity development in a challenging context, this study investigated teacher identity tensions and related coping strategies in Hong Kong. We conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with qualified teachers and then performed a deductive thematic analysis of the data. We categorised the identity tensions as positioned on the micro or macro level, and distinguished the coping strategies as emotion-focused or problem-focused behaviours. The identity tensions and related coping strategies seemed to be associated…
Professional identity in relation to vocational teachers’ work : an identity-centred approach to professional development
2018
This paper reports a study on teachers’ professional identity and work in vocational education. The findings showed that vocational teachers’ work included vocational teaching within the school, developmental work, technology-enhanced work, professional duties outside the school, and educational duties within the school. Furthermore, the study revealed the harmonious and tensioned relationships between these elements of the work and teachers’ identities. Recognition of the nuanced nature of these relationships provides a perspective for promoting teachers’ professional development. From a practical perspective, there is a need to support vocational teachers’ identity work and the adoption o…
Mehr als Musik: Die sieben Dimensionen des Eurovision Song Contests
2008
"Der Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) ist der weltweit größte internationale Wettbewerb für populäre Musik und das erfolgreichste Fernsehunterhaltungsprogramm in Europa. Obwohl der ESC ursprünglich das Ziel verfolgte, die Entstehung neuer Lieder zu fördern, handelte es sich doch stets um ein von den Fernsehanstalten inszeniertes Medienereignis, das erst nachrangig musikökonomischen Zwecken dient. Für das Publikum ist der ESC auf Grund seiner Periodizität, seiner spezifischen Programmstruktur und nicht zuletzt des Zugehörigkeitsgefühls der Zuschauer, das auf Schemata nationaler und kultureller Identifikation beruht, zu einem hochgradig ritualisierten Medienereignis geworden. Seine Bedeutung geh…
Współczesna metropolia: tożsamość i formy bycia razem jej mieszkańców
2018
The following paper examines the Baumanian “forms of togethernes” in the space of the contemporary metropolis, both in the West (Europe, the USA), and the developing world (China). Zygmunt Bauman understands togetherness as a totality of interhuman actions, occurring in the city space. Paradoxically, the contemporary metropolis which often seems hostile towards traditional bourgeois urban life opens up new possibilities of mutual relations between contemporary citizens. The space in the contemporary city is neither fully artificial, nor natural, but it merges some features of both. Although its infrastructure is governed by effectiveness of molecular capitalism, it is not fully predicable i…
“All under heaven as one family” : Tianxiaist ideology and the emerging Chinese great power identity
2019
The rise of China is perhaps the most important development in world politics today. It is challenging the very foundations of the liberal international order that the Western great powers have created. Yet, as China emerges as an economic and political powerhouse with global influence, it is not at all clear what kind of a great power it will become, and what kind of a world order it sees as its ideal. Chinese official foreign policy rhetoric on the subject offers only vaguely described slogans and concepts. Another approach for studying “China’s mind” is to study China’s academic discourse on world politics and foreign relations. In this article, the academic debate around the concept of …
From agricultural to tourist production
2010
This contribution starts off from taking account of the crisis in the agricultural sector. This sector has been “trivialised” by erroneous policies and market rules. However, at present the trend is changing: “demand for environment” is increasing, as well as the attempt of taking actions and policies favouring sustainable development. At the same time, notwithstanding the different meanings attached to the concept of sustainability, a wave of revaluation of rural areas is rising: the countryside is now considered as a source of local cultural values. Its exploitation as a tourist attraction, which is progressively taking off, is to be considered in this context. Natural and cultural assets…

"Łemko ból nosi w genach". Oblicze łemkowskiej postpamięci
2021
The material being presented in this paper is a study case – the analysis of an interview which the author conducted with a granddaughter of the Lemkos dis-placed to Lower Silesia in 1947 as part of Operation Vistula. The narration of the interlocutor overfilled with emotions reveals the traumatic context of her in-cessant search for an answer to the question: Who am I? Since she did not agree to make the entirety of her talk public, transferring in this way the obligation to protect her name onto the author, the interview became a unique personal ex-perience for the latter at the same time. Therefore, only those fragments of the above-mentioned interview are referred to in the text, which …
Tożsamość człowieka współczesnego w ostatnich wierszach Tadeusza Różewicza
2017
Tematem artykułu jest analiza zagadnienia tożsamości człowieka żyjącego na przełomie XX i XXI wieku. Podstawą rozważań są przemyślenia zawarte w wierszach Tadeusza Różewicza – współczesnego poety żyjącego w latach 1921-2014, uznawanego nie tylko za autora tekstów interpretowanych w kontekście różnorodnych koncepcji filozoficznych, ale przede wszystkim oryginalnego myśliciela. Artykuł rozważa problem, czy człowiek opisany w utworach Różewicza wykazuje cechy świadomości nowoczesnej – jak deklaruje poeta – czy ponowoczesnej i jaka jest w jego twórczości relacja pomiędzy nowoczesnością i ponowoczesnością. Zagadnienie to ilustrują liczne utwory Tadeusza Różewicza pochodzące z tomików publikowany…
