The first goal of the last in the series of articles called “Civilization as process” is to show how the notion of civilization was saved in academic discourse from being fully associated with imperialism and racism. While the text reconstructs how it happened, it nonetheless stresses that the doubts about the use of the term “civilization” in research have remained, even once its value-free, descriptive meaning was shaped. Essentialism based on racist and classificatory grounds still haunts civilizational studies, as can be seen in the scope and intensity of debate accompanying Samuel Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (1997), which has been accused of essentialism. In reaction to the spectacular but also dangerous theses by Huntington, theoretical inquiry into the notion of civilization has deepened, preparing the ground for contemporary resurgence in the academic discourse of civilization in singular – as a multivalent social process.

One of the possible understandings of the notion, arguably especially useful today – civilization as “pacification of the social” – is discussed in the final part of this essay. To make this discussion possible, the classic substantialist and pluralistic theory, especially as formulated by Koneczny, is analysed, and then the dynamization of the concept in Sorokin, Nelson, Braudel and Eisenstadt is discussed, leading to an introduction to the currently dominant paradigm in civilizational analysis that is the theory of civilizational identities. The article shows that the latter is not the final step in the development of civilizational theory but rather the reverse.

This paper is an analysis of Thomas Metzinger’s self-model theory of subjectivity (SMT). Metzinger claims that beyond the biological organism and its properties, there is no individual and distinct entity that can be regarded as “self”. What really exists is the phenomenal sense of being self, which creates the illusion of the existence of something permanent. Taking the concepts of David Hume and certain early Buddhists thinkers as his starting point, Metzinger claims that during introspection, which is a type of phenomenal experience, we find nothing stable, but only impermanent impressions. As he argues, this hypothesis is supported by empirical neuroscience research, which should be considered when studying human subjectivity. Drawing extensively from the results of science and philosophy of mind, he proposes a concept of a phenomenal self-model (PSM). The PSM integrates information about the whole biological organism and makes it available from the first-person perspective.

The first part of the paper presents the key issues of the SMT and the four aspects of Metzinger’s critique of the concept of the substantial self. The paper also offers a critical analysis of some of Metzinger’s ideas. The second section discusses the common features as well as differences between the SMT and the Buddhist concept of non-self (s. anātman, p. anattā). It also aims to analyse certain problematic issues of the notion of anattā and demonstrate some of the challenges connected with the use of a comparative method.

Technological change has impacted orchestral music for over a century, with the demise of orchestral concert audiences in their familiar form being considered by some at various times to be under threat. Access for classical music audiences however has increased over recent decades through radio, albums, and tapes/CDs/DVDs, thereby increasing the potential for large increases in classical music listener/viewer audiences. In the case of albums and tapes/CDs/DVDs, audiences have control over what and when they tune in, whereas in the case of radio, the schedule is fixed for them. Besides, in-hall audiences, adjusted for population, at orchestral concerts in Germany and Poland have been increasing, but a small number of orchestras in each country dominate. Technology has now made possible, through the live streaming of concerts, not just into cinemas and similar venues but also directly into homes, a potential substantial increase in live listening/viewing audiences; the Berliner Philharmoniker is leading the way in this regard.

The article is an attempt to look at the origins and development of Kuwait City before the oil boom as a socially created space. Its structure reflects social and economic dynamics as well as cultural and environmental sustainability, although it was the mercantile function that was the most important city-forming factor in Kuwait. The specific character and functionality of the city were determined by its location, climate, connections with the Persian Gulf and, at the same time, Bedouin traditions and culture, as exemplified by the house of the merchant family Al-Badr.

Polish filmmaker Andrzej Żuławski made Possession (1981) after his self-exile in France and the great success of The Most Important Thing: Love (L’important c’est d’aimer, 1975). Set in West Berlin, Possession explores Anna and Mark’s marriage dissolution into chaos, and, in that sense, it is a domestic drama, full of political connotations implanted by the constant depiction of the Wall. However, due to its puzzling story that includes violent fights, unexpected killings, inexplicable doppelgängers, hysterical performances, and a notorious miscarriage scene in a subway station, somehow explaining the presence of the film’s polymorphic monster, Possession is often limited to the genre of horror, and its complexity is overlooked. Indeed, the state of Possession is pandemonium, and Żuławski’s anarchic artistic mentality, attracted by a turbulent directorial approach, only intensifies the sense of disintegration, despair, and horror in the film. But chaos only rules in a well-designed form, as little seems incidental in Żuławski’s compositions. Taking a closer look, one can observe a solid geometry that divides the cinematic space while imprisoning the protagonists into two separate worlds that do not communicate. Division, therefore, becomes a kind of ‘leitmotif’ in Possession, present in Anna and Mark’s alienated relationship, in the characters’ contrast between themselves and their doppelgängers and, finally, in the partitioning of Berlin.
