Ręka, noga, mózg na ścianie, czyli ludzkie szczątki jako kurioza w XIX-wiecznych opowieściach grozy
2016
W XIX stuleciu, „wieku przedmiotów”, kolekcjonowanie ludzkich szczątków, stanowiące przejaw chęci poznania tajemnic człowieka, nic należy do rzadkości. Zakonserwowane w różny sposób fragmenty ludzkiego ciała stanowią również powtarzający się element popularnego nurtu opowieści grozy. W okresie romantyzmu stanowią one jeden z ważnych elementów cudowności, skupiając na sobie narrację i prowokując kolejne niezwykłe wydarzenia (Stopa mumii Theophile’a Gautiera). W ujęciu pozytywistyczno-naturalistycznym wprowadzają element niezwykłości do scjentystyczncgo dyskursu o święcie (Ręka Guy de Maupassanta). Z kolei w tekstach późniejszych, w kontekście okultyzmu i surrealistycznej fantastyki, świadczą…

Curiosity and exploration: A conceptual overview and structural modeling
2001
Many attempts have been made to measure curiosity or intrinsic motivation. However, there is no consensus on what curiosity is. In the present study, five previously constructed curiosity inventories were translated to Finnish and modified to be convenient for fifth-graders. The main purpose of the study was to clarify the concept of curiosity. Using conceptual analysis and the results of previous studies, it was possible to construct nine alternative conceptual models of curiosity. The corresponding statistical models were expected to account for the covariances among 15 subscales measuring curiosity-related exploratory behavior. However, before proceeding to the subscale level, the struct…
