Vol 10 (2010): Social and cultural problems of the contemporary city
Another volume of this serial publication is the result of the latest research of ethnologists, sociologists and cultural anthropologists conducted in cities in Poland, Western Europe and one of the cities in Africa. It contains an overview of the history of Polish and Slovak research, research concepts and methods, and proposals of research methods. The authors describe above all the urban situation and the processes of social and cultural change taking place in the public and private spaces of contemporary (post-industrial, in particular) cities. They also emphasise the aesthetic, symbolic, ludic, ideological, etc. role played by different spaces of the city in the creation of cultural patterns, ways and styles of life, and spending time.
The publication is addressed to ethnologists, sociologists, cultural scientists, architects, urban planners, and employees of municipal offices and cultural centres.
