W przedstawionej pracy skupiłam się na dorobku trzech artystów, którzy posługiwali się progowością, czyli liminalnością, jako strategią twórczą. Analizie poddałam dzieła: Stanisława Wyspiańskiego (1869–1907), Tadeusza Kantora (1915–1990) i Józefa Szajny (1922–2008). Każdy z wymienionych twórców był człowiekiem progu w rozumieniu Turnera, stojącym zarówno na styku epok historycznych, jak i wobec widocznej w kulturze zmiany estetycznej.

Almost 50 years after her death, Coco Chanel remains one of the world's most influential fashion designers. Her story is one of creative brilliance and innovation - she was a driving force in freeing women from the restrictive clothing they had been obliged to wear for generations. 'In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different,' Chanel would say, and throughout her life she demonstrated extraordinary passion and determination to change the world around her. There is much wisdom to glean from Chanel's self-reflections, while her sharp wit and joie de vivre will amuse, surprise and inspire in equal measure.
'Fashion changes, but style endures.'
Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL, is one of the most famous fashion designers of all time, whose impact on the fashion world is almost unmatched. A revolutionary designer for women, his designs took traditionally male styles and reinvented them for the modern women of the 1960s. From jumpsuits to safari jackets to his iconic tuxedo, YSL’s designs revolutionised women’s clothes forever. He can be credited with making ready-to-wear clothes reputable and desirable, in a marked move away from haute couture, and for championing trousers for women.
Despite a life marred with addiction, war and mental health struggles, Yves remained a powerhouse of the fashion industry for 50 years, and his name – and initials – are now synonymous with quality, innovation and heritage. His collections may have sometimes generated controversy and criticism, but they have proved to be timeless and transformative.
The Little Guide to Yves Saint Laurent charts his tumultuous rise to the top, accompanied by facts and quotes from, and about, the man himself and the fashion legacy he built.
For over 150 years, Louis Vuitton’s monographed bags have been associated with style and luxury. Born in 1821, he had left home at 13 to seek his fortune in Paris where he became an apprentice box-maker which eventually led him to introductions at the French Royal Court. With royal endorsement, Louis opened of his first workshop in 1854 where his skills and innovations established his brand as one of Europe’s most popular.
Passing his passion for crafting beautiful luggage onto his son, Georges, and later his grandson Gaston-Louis, they ensured the company continued to grow, surviving two world wars, to become the luxury brand it’s renowned for.
Louis Vuitton stores opened in cities throughout the world and expanded into other high-end brands. The merger in 1987 with Möet Hennessy created the megabrand LVMH, and in 1997 the appointment of Marc Jacobs launched Louis Vuitton into the world of fashion.

Contemporary yet classic, the little black dress never goes out of style. Popularized by Coco Chanel in the 1920s, the style freed women from the corset and became the epitome of liberation.

‘One is never under dressed or over dressed with a little black dress.’
Karl Lagerfield
‘A little black dress is something to rely on. To fill you with confidence and ease. To have an attitude that is pure and effortless, yet sexy and classy.’
Stella McCartney
‘The little black dress must be luxurious, rich, sensual, diaphanous, exotic, severe, lush, demure, demanding, frivolous, amusing, and it must linger in memory, but above all, it must be simple and little and black.’
Carolina Herrera

Tom Moje Czechy należy traktować jako swoistą summę romansu Babuchowskiego z krajem nad Wełtawą, jego kulturą, a zwłaszcza literaturą. O ile sam romans z Czechami nie budzi w Polsce zdziwienia, to oryginalne jest to, iż Babuchowskiego interesuje mało u nas znany nurt religijny i metafizyczny w literaturze naszych sąsiadów, związany często z katolicyzmem, a po II wojnie z antykomunizmem. (prof. Maciej Urbanowski)
W Lublinie od wieków przenikały się wpływy zwyczajów, odmiennych tradycji i nowych idei, mieszkających tu na równi przedstawicieli różnych narodowości. Dużą rolę w kulturalnym obrazie miasta odegrali również Czesi. Dokonania czeskich artystów miały istotne odzwierciedlenie w wystroju architektonicznym lubelskich obiektów i do tej pory widoczne są w przestrzeni miejskiej. Ślady działań solidarnościowych w szerzeniu wspólnoty myśli niepodległościowej odnajdujemy w bogatych zbiorach bibliotecznych a także we wspomnieniach mieszkańców. Publikacja „LUBELSKO-CZESKIE TRZY HISTORIE PRO MEMORIA” ukazuje szczególną rolę naszych południowych sąsiadów w kreowaniu niezwykłego kolorytu Lublina.

Niesolidny elektryk, który w połowie zlecenia porzucił pracę i już do niej nie wrócił. Hydraulik, który miał przyjść w poniedziałek, a zjawił się w czwartek. Remont, który kosztował dwa razy więcej, niż powinien. Dlaczego wciąż zdarzają się sytuacje, w których wynajęci fachowcy nie spełniają pokładanych w nich oczekiwań?
Amanda Krzyworzeka, bazując na swoich badaniach etnograficznych przeprowadzonych wśród właścicieli działek rekreacyjnych i pracujących dla nich lokalnych fachowców, szuka powodów nieporozumień między zleceniodawcami i zleceniobiorcami. Autorka odwołuje się do głęboko zakorzenionych wartości oraz wzorców kulturowych i pokazuje, że często przyczyną konfliktów nie są różnice, a właśnie podobieństwa w traktowaniu pracy przez obie grupy, które jednocześnie mają wobec siebie całkowicie odmienne oczekiwania.
