Dajmonizm – czyli poznaj samego siebie. Zjawisko dajmonizmu w polskim Internecie a koncepcja dajmona w trylogii Mroczne materie Philipa Pullmana
(Uniwersytet Jagielloński, 2014) Kleczkowska, Katarzyna; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
The article presents and analyzes a new phenomenon on the Polish Internet: daemonism. Daemonism, which appeared in 2008, is related to the concept of daemons that were created in the trilogy His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. In the trilogy a daemon is a part of a human soul in a form of an animal that coexists with a human being throughout their life, helping them, warning them and directing them on their path to perfection. The film adaptation of the novel (The Golden Compass, 2007) increased the popularity of Pullman’s vision and encouraged fans to look for their own daemons with the use of the Internet. Gradually, the concept of daemons has metamorphosed into daemonism with some elements borrowed from the philosophy of Carl Jung. This new trend involves more than a thousand Internet users, mainly teenagers.

Tradycja edukacji muzyką w kulturze chińskiej. Klasyczne źródła filozoficzne
(Uniwersytet Jagielloński, 2014) Mazur, Rafał; Uniwersytet Jagielloński; Jagiellonian University
W artykule opisuję tradycję edukowania za pomocą odpowiedniej muzyki, zapisaną w klasycznych pismach filozofii chińskiej. Muzyka była przez Chińczyków traktowana wyjątkowo, jako narzędzie silnego oddziaływania na umysł i emocje człowieka. Zdaniem starożytnych Chińczyków była ona doskonałym narzędziem do sprawowania rządów i zapewnienia spokoju społecznego. W indywidualnym aspekcie, praktyka muzyczna w odpowiednim wymiarze mogła spełniać rolę drogi mędrca. W artykule opisuję przekonania o roli muzyki w kwestii wychowania moralnego/etycznego człowieka, zawarte w klasycznych chińskich tekstach filozoficznych

Spontaneous Expression and Spontaneous Improvisation: What Contemporary Improvising Artists Can Learn from Chinese Artist-Philosophers.
(Uniwersytet Jagielloński, 2014) Mazur, Rafał; Uniwersytet Jagielloński; Jagiellonian University
Spontaneous expression is a unique method of artistic creation that emerged from within a circle of Chinese Confucian scholar-philosophers for whom artistic creation complemented their philosophical activities. Free improvisation is a new phenomenon of the European art scene. It is typified by spontaneous, often ad hoc creation, without prior preparation of the act or the object. I want to illustrate the similarities in the strategies of creation between ‘spontaneous expression’ and ‘free improvisation’ and the extent to which the philosophical foundations and resulting strategies of the former can be used in the latter, demonstrating the philosophical basis for this artistic discipline. I will primarily consider the mind of the creator, and justify the thesis that the state of mind, or mental attitude, necessary for the practice of spontaneous expression could be useful in the development of the practice of free improvisation in contemporary art (European art here would be inaccurate). A ‘method without method’ built on the basis of Chinese philosophy can help generate a strategy to develop and improve the skills of improvisation among contemporary European artists and contribute to the development of a contemporary philosophy of free improvisation. It is my opinion that these are fields that lie fallow. This would be an attempt to adapt the strategy of creation borne of original Chinese philosophy to contemporary artistic activities and aesthetic studies: a kind of transcultural bridge.
