Oświadczenie Polskiego Towarzystwa Studiów Amerykanistycznych
Jako członkowie Polskiego Towarzystwa Studiów Amerykanistycznych wyrażamy zaniepokojenie obecnymi wydarzeniami politycznymi w Polsce. Uznając prawo demokratycznie wybranego Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej i większości parlamentarnej do korzystania z konstytucyjnych prerogatyw uważamy, że łamanie prawa przez organy powołane do jego przestrzegania budzi najwyższy niepokój. Demokracja nie ogranicza się do władzy większości, lecz musi być chroniona zasadą trójpodziału władzy, zaś orzekanie o konstytucyjności aktów legislacyjnych przez władzę sądowniczą stanowi zasadnicze ogniwo liberalnej demokracji. Ustrój Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki jest pod tym względem modelowy od czasu przyjęcia Konstytucji (1788) i pierwszych dziesięciu poprawek definiujących prawa obywatelskie (1791) oraz decyzji Sądu Najwyższego w sprawie Marbury v. Madison (1803), która ustanowiła kontrolę sądową. Świat zachodni przyjął standard kontroli sądowej po drugiej wojnie światowej. Ewidentne próby zakwestionowania przez Prezydenta RP i przez sejmową większość tej przyjętej również w polskim systemie konstytucyjnym zasady są pozbawione podstawy prawnej i stanowią niebezpieczny precedens.

The Terra Foundation for American Art in 2014 awarded the College Art Association (CAA) a major, three-year grant to administer an annual program to support book-length scholarly manuscripts in the history of American art. This program, now in its second year, makes funds available to US and non-US publishers through the Terra Foundation for American Art International Publication Grant. Awards of up to $15,000 will be given for books that examine American art in an international context, increase awareness of American art internationally through publication outside the United States, allow wider audiences to access important texts through translation, and/or result from international collaboration. The program also will support the creation of an international network of American art scholars by providing two non-US authors whose books are funded through the grant program with travel stipends and complimentary registration to attend CAA’s Annual Conference.
Grant guidelines, detailed eligibility requirements, and application instructions are available on the CAA website at www.collegeart.org/terrafoundation. Letters of inquiry should be submitted to CAA by September 21, 2015. Applicants whose projects fall within the guidelines and successfully fulfill the mission of the grant program will be invited to submit full applications, due November 9, 2015. Award winners will be announced in March 2016.
