Vol 17 (2017): Studia Etnologiczne i Antropologiczne
The volume begins with articles on broadly understood cultural ecology. This is not an coincidence. The Cieszyn Centre of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology has been dealing with this issue for many years, and recently, on this basis, a new specialization has been created as part of the second cycle programme. Ecology, however, is not all. The volume contains also, which we are particularly pleased to note, articles focused on Africa. This is a continent which, due to both its uniqueness and the universality of its problems, is attracting more and more attention from researchers. This is also visible in our journal. In the Spojrzenie na Afrykę [The View on Africa] section you will find, among other things, information on the maladies of education among post-pastoral communities, the consequences and specificity of globalisation and African consumerism, colonial discourse and its contemporary reminiscences, or the perception of time. All of this has been presented in original research papers. The issue ends with texts whose binding aspect is a typically anthropological perspective (or, if you prefer, Antropologiczne konteksty kultury [Anthropological Contexts of Culture]).
