New from Jagiellonian University Press MORE POLITICAL SCIENCE TITLES MORE LEGAL STUDIES TITLES Applying the Constitution of the Republic of Poland in Horizontal Relations Monika Florczak-Wator This book tackles the issue of individual rights within the Polish constitutional system. It begins by asking why the horizontal effect of individual rights was not contemplated in Polish jurisprudence until the 1980s, and why it is not expressly addressed in the Polish Constitution despite the proposal of a relevant clause during the drafting process. Through extensive research, the author finds that the decision to abandon this clause was done on purpose, therefore nothing stands in the way of incorporating the horizontal application of constitutional rights into the framework of the Polish Constitution. Read more ...

Modern Yoga Practice as a Psychosocial Phenomenon Krzysztof T. Konecki "An original work that brings new findings to the sociology of culture and sociology of religion. It is based on deep empirical research and diagnoses a phenomenon that is new and increasingly significant, not only in Poland."-Grazyna Woroniecka, University of Warsaw This book interprets the social significance of yoga in a world that emphasizes corporeality and the body. Immersing himself in the social world of hatha yoga participants, from an urban studio to a mountain retreat, the author's personal experience with positions and techniques, group meditation, and joint mantra is juxtaposed against interviews, photographs, video recordings on the social meaning of yoga, and philosophical analyses of where the physical and spiritual meet. This book's use of empirical qualitative research and participant observation allows for close analysis, even outright experiencing of the participants' world. Read more ...
