Colors of the Borders
This paper offers a comparative analysis of Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border (2023)—a poignant depiction of migrants’ experiences on the Polish-Belarusian frontier—and two Hollywood films that address migration across the U.S.–Mexico border: The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) and the experimental short Flesh and Sand (Carne y Arena). The analysis shows that, when read alongside these American texts, Holland’s film employs similar trop…
Female Detectives and the Moral Crisis in America
The paper investigates recent American TV crime drama in which prominent roles are given to female protagonists. The TV miniseries Unbelievable (2019) and Mare of Easttown (2021) place women in central roles and, by going beyond the classic formula of crime drama, reshape the format of the genre. They address significant social and economic issues, often ignored by conventional crime drama narratives. The paper offers a brief investigation of the…
From soldiers of fortune into heroes of liberty
This article examines the early mythologization of two Polish volunteers who fought in the American Revolutionary War: Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko. By analysing hitherto unexplored contemporary press materials and by using an Atlantic World framework to reassess well known archival sources, the article traces the process through which both men became trans-Atlantic mythical figures. We demonstrate that the two Polish national heroes …
Successful Outcome of Phytostabilization in Cr(VI) Contaminated Soils Amended with Alkalizing Additives
This study analysed the effect of three alkalizing soil amendments (limestone, dolomite chalcedonite) on aided phytostabilization with Festuca rubra L. depending on the hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) level in contaminated soil. Four different levels of Cr(VI) were added to the soil (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg). The Cr contents in the plant roots and above-ground parts and the soil (total and extracted Cr by 0.01 M CaCl 2 ) were determined with flame …

Using Mosses as Bioindicators of Potentially Toxic Element Contamination in Ecologically Valuable Areas Located in the Vicinity of a Road
This study analyzed the impact of road transportation on the concentration of Zn, Ni, Pb, Co, and Cd in moss ( Pleurozium schreberi ). The study was carried out over five years near a national road running from the north to the east (Poland) in the area of Natura 2000 sites. Samples were collected at three significantly different locations: (1) near a sharp bend, (2) near a straight section of the road in a woodless area, and (3) in a slightly wo…
Bozenna Chylińska, The Gospel of Work and Wealth in the Puritan Ethic
In her book Bożenna Chylińska offers an extensive, well-documented, and detailed discussion of the concept of work in Puritan theology and life. Tracing the evolution of the Puritan interpretations of work from the beginnings of the Reformation to the end of the eighteenth century, Chylińska presents the views of English and American Puritans and refers to their biographies as evidence of how work was not just part of religious beliefs, but also …

Over the last decade, a voluminous debate has evolved around the concept of globalization, prompting Featherstone and Lash (1995) to identify this multifaceted phenomenon as replacing modernity and postmodernity as the central thematic within current cultural theorizing (for example, see Appadurai, 1990; McGrew, 1992; Robertson, 1995; Wallerstein, 1990). In light of this claim, the goal of this paper is to examine the interconnections and disjunc…
