Czas wolny – o codziennych i niecodziennych scenariuszach doświadczania
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Mroczkowska, Dorota Irena
The presentation of leisure time as time spent away from work does not fully reflect contemporary reality, in which working time and leisure are blurring due to factors such as flexible working hours or mobile technologies. Furthermore, individuals who engage in two or more activities at the same time (multitasking) or those indicating the multidimensional nature of leisure are becoming more common. As a result, traditional quantitative methodologies based on the work-leisure dichotomy are unsuitable for studying leisure. Based on interpretative methodology and research method triangulation, the text presents an experiential perspective on the approach to leisure. This approach results in a way of thinking about leisure that rejects the traditional work-leisure dichotomy in favour of subjective experience, resulting in a variety of forms, styles, and ways of experiencing leisure time in a changing social context.

Pozareligijna duchowość (polskich) niewierzących
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2013) Tyrała, Radosław
The aim of this article is to present based on own research, ways of manifestation of spirituality in everyday life of the Polish nonbelievers. In case some of them, it manifests through their private interpretations of beliefs in impersonal God. A large part of them describes their spiritual dimension referring to their emotionality, interpersonal sensitivity, aesthetic sensitivity or higher feelings. The vast majority of nonbelievers declaring spirituality recognize it as something distinct from religiosity, which gives it definitely non-religious character. As a conclusion one formulates an important methodological remark. One postulates to define spirituality in inclusive and functional way. Thus allow to incorporate into the body of this concept above mentioned – »banal« and everyday - conceptualizations of this term.
