    Conversation, as an integral part of our everyday life, is a subject of research in various fields. In this paper we aim to look at the different layers of conversation through multidisciplinary lenses. First, by describing two distinct speech disorders resulting from brain damage, we highlight the connection between brain functioning and communication. Language usage can be profoundly disrupted when particular brain areas are affected. Second, shifting to a sociopsychological perspective, we look into potential reasons behind common misunderstandings. Conversations are shaped by social scripts, impacting communication patterns and intercultural dialogues. Then we delve into the logic of conversation, focusing on the mechanism of presupposition. Through the analysis of simple interactions, we unveil the subtle nuances of conversation and the role presupposition may play in manipulation. Finally, we explore the transformative potential of dialogue in psychotherapy. Conversations serve as powerful tools for treatment, transcending specific techniques. They can have a profound impact on brain functioning and well-being. Our exploration underscores the multifaceted nature of conversation and the complex effects of this seemingly simple process.

    Nad tekstami funeralnymi Hipolita Pikalskiego OP (1827–1887)

    Borkowski, Igor
    Kita, Jarosław
    Korybut-Marciniak, Maria
    This paper presents a collection of funeral eulogies prepared and delivered by the Dominican friar Hipolit Pikalski from 1852 to 1860. The analysis includes a characterisation of the archival collection and examines the content of the texts in terms of the funeral narrative and pastoral content. The main part of the work, however, focuses on the biographer’s description of the eulogies and aims to establish their multifunctionality and the authorial elaboration by the preacher.

    Enabling an inclusive and sustainable cultural ecosystem and driving economic development

    Ilczuk, Dorota
    Karpińska, Anna
    Fleming, Tom
    Schmidt, Kathrin
    Sekhar, Anupama
    This chapter highlights the critical role of the economic dimension of culture in advocating for its inclusion as a stand-alone goal in the next Sustainable Development Agenda. Recognizing culture within the SDGs is essential, as it contributes significantly to sustainable and human development outcomes, including economic growth, social cohesion and youth engagement. The chapter underscores that culture, through both heritage and creativity, is a dynamic driver of innovation and central to fostering inclusive and resilient societies. It also addresses the evolving governance of culture, shaped by institutional innovations, shifting political priorities and the integration of CCIs into national agendas, including connections to wider cultural elements such as cultural heritage. By linking culture to economic diversification, social resilience and environmental sustainability, the chapter demonstrates that any sustainable development framework must place culture at its core.

    The Sociology of Cybersecurity: An Ethnography of a Science and the Profession

    Zaród, Marcin
    This book explores the sociological processes related to digital infrastructures, nation-states, military organizations, companies and hackers. It explores how the European Union consults hackers, what the sociological implications beneath hacking tournaments might be, how the CVE system might be mapped onto the research of ICD-11, and how many theological devils fit as opponent models. Based on ethnographic research conducted among hackers and cybersecurity conferences from several countries across Europe, The Sociology of Cybersecurity asks how knowledge is created in different groups connected with information security. It considers the ways in which social processes in the field of cyber-security appear similar to phenomena that characterise knowledge production in scientific disciplines. An examination of what the study of information security can contribute to our debates on privacy, digital economy, theories of sovereignty and critical perspectives in the 21st century, The Sociology of Cybersecurity will appeal to social scientists interested in the sociology of knowledge and contemporary research at the intersection of labour, technology and society.

    Taniec i rodzicielstwo. Choreografie troski

    Cholewicka, Emilia
    Opałka, Maria
    Zalipska, Magdalena
    The article examines the experience of parenthood in dance professions, focusing on women for whom the body constitutes both a tool of work and a space of life. Drawing on qualitative research from the Homo Saltatrix project and the Mothers Dance! forum, I show how motherhood exposes structural inequalities and compels a renegotiation of the relationship between professional availability and the body’s physiological cyclicality. Introducing the concepts of “bodydependence” and “choreographies of care,” I propose new frameworks for thinking about artistic work—based on care, sharing, and inclusivity—as an alternative to exploitative models of functioning within the performing arts.
