In the introduction, the sui generis fetishization of the concept of technicization is described. Then, the impact of the automotive revolution on the lifestyle of African people during the period of decolonization is discussed, as well as the impact of related phenomena on the sphere of cultural and political practices. Next, the negative – in ecological and civilizational terms – effects of the development of the automotive industry and the widespread practice of importing used cars from the global North to Africa are presented. Finally, the evolution of the system of production and sale of cars on the continent in the 21st century is outlined – on the one hand, it reproduces the logic of the colonial trade, while on the other hand, it provides an opportunity for GDP growth, unemployment reduction, and socio-economic advancement of millions of Africans.","PeriodicalId":239308,"journal":{"name":"Przegląd Humanistyczny","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128109652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This compact group, saturated to the brim with Turcisms, is formed by the vocabulary related to the kitchen and its equipment as well as cooking. The author discusses lexemes from this very thematic group.

The comparison of the Polish observer’s notes with the most persistent elements of this myth reveals diametrically opposite notions about the city’s role in the modernization of Bulgaria during the second half of the 19th century. The key points in the narrative on Ruse as “the city of first things” and “the Gateway to Europe” include the Islahhane grand hotel as “the pearl” of modern Bulgarian accommodation and hospitality facilities; Ruse as a “Little Vienna” because of its architecture; Ruse as an important diplomatic center due to the presence of numerous consulates; the railway from Ruse to Varna as proof of the successful integration of the Bulgarian lands into the European transport system; and social and cultural life in Ruse as evidence of the break with the Oriental lifestyle. The article shows that the city regarded by its inhabitants as a “gateway to the West” was perceived by foreign visitors as a true “gateway to the East.” Zaleski builds his reports on the categories of East and West, European and Ottoman, Bulgarian and Turkish; his portrayal of the city puts it in the frame of an unquestionably Eastern, mixed Turkish-Bulgarian, post-Ottoman reality.","PeriodicalId":239308,"journal":{"name":"Przegląd Humanistyczny","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125176125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
