This article focuses on the perception of sleep in the digital culture of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), examining both viewer-listeners’ online discussions about the impact of ASMR videos on their sleep and the content of audiovisual materials published on YouTube. The paper posits that sleep is viewed in two ways in the ASMR community; on the one hand, in a capitalist sense as a manageable and controllable object, and, on the other, as an element that escapes this discourse. The ASMR culture, while affirming contemporary normative sleep patterns, simultaneously invites its enthusiasts to slow down, unwind, and relax, thereby aligning itself with the slow movement.

The main goal of this text is to take a closer look at the possibility of an intelligent machine having rights. First of all, we will consider the value of the three kinds of justifications for these rights. As for the justification of the rights of Artificial Intelligence referring to some correlation with human imperfect duties and that which is based on the status of moral objects in relations with people, we consider them unconvincing. It seems most accurate to justify the possession of rights by such machines that would fulfill the conditions of being an artificial person, a moral subject. However, the latter option is not free from the numerous difficulties that we bring to your attention.

This paper attempts to describe the process of identity creation for participants in the furry fandom, within the framework of Anselm Strauss's theory of social worlds. The discussion is based on the results of a netnographic four-month field study conducted by the author in 2021 in an online community that describes itself as "furry". These are individuals who, as part of their roleplaying practices, play as anthropomorphic animals with whose supposed traits they not only identify but also expand their list of traits in order to negotiate individual identity. As the results of this study show the Polish furry fandom gathers teenagers for whom the virtual relationship is an end in itself (the "furry world"), and at the same time, a space and a tool for the search for one's own sexual self-identification (which was delineated using the concepts of Emic Evaluation Approach).

The aim of this work was to try to capture the relationship between high and low arousal emotions and virality of political content on social media. The study analysed Facebook posts of the two candidates who received the most support and went to the second round during the presidential election in Ukraine in 2019 – Volodymyr Zelensky and Petro Poroshenko. The emotions evoked by the content were identified by respondents in the CAWI study. The logistic regression analysis indicates that there is not enough evidence to confirm the role of activating and deactivating emotions in the spread of political content on social media.

Starting from Mumford's concept of the machine, the text combines anthropological, archaeological, historical and philosophical themes to outline the transformation of human beings from the earliest prehistoric epochs to the present day. The trajectory thus set out to trace technological threads in human “nature” ranges from the anthropological concept of shamanism and magic, to the question about the beginning of the technicism of human culture from the perspective of prehistory, to the specific visions of the first robots and artificial intelligence in ancient Greece and their theologically-converted reception in the Age of Enlightenment. The article also includes a brief outline of the essence of technics, going back to the early metal age and having to do with the fusion of technology and mathematics that have taken place then.

Starting from auto-biographical experience, the text shifts into a more theoretical reflection about this part of the scholarly work, which is hidden and unstudied. The working definition of the analyzed phenomenon aims to open an academic discussion about this practice. The paper ends with the call for testimonies and participation in the study.
