Interpasywny i ideologiczny wymiar polityki dziedzictwa kulturowego

Michał Rauszer

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2012 | Abstrakt | s. 56-66

A basic question that should be answered in the context of cultural heritage concerns its reinforcement in a social practice in line with all political implications. In view of the collapse of great narrations and a postmodernist distance of any engagement, directing towards an „identity constantly built”, the only form of a real engagement is cynical distance. The same is true of characters created for the purposes of a virtual game; their emotions are not simply false, but on the contrary, they sometimes reflect the state of their creators. At the same time, a virtual reality allows for maintaining a minimum of a distance thanks to the fact that we can withdraw from it any time we want. This distance is crucial when it comes to shaping a cultural identity these days. When we look at the functioning of local societies wielding power over an identity discourse of a community, two relationships appear. The first one consists in the functioning of regional societies in a social practice as original disponent of memory and identity. The second describes the attitude to societies of remaining inhabitants who, due to transferring the pleasure of awareness of their subjectivity to a local organization can deal with other issues. The very relationship is known as interpassivity. Political and ideological implications of both of them have been traced on the basis of Nie wszystko jest oczywiste, a book by Czesław Robotycki. A theoretician should notice here two important political reservations. Firstly, transferring of the pleasure of one’s own awareness is accompanied by the renouncement of making decisions on its shape so even though we convince ourselves that we are independent subjects (a cynical distance), in a social practice, objectively speaking, we behave as if we believed because of some “other” (local organizations). Secondly, building a local identity must be based on a tough theoretical basis because otherwise it will boil down to just folklore curiosities and ethnographic relics (though, in a conscious politics they are very important). The aim of my considerations is, thus, the evaluation of something that is as enigmatic as a cultural heritage in the context of modernity, and showing political dangers in the renouncement of one’s own subjectivity.

Zmiana przestrzeni miejskiej i jej wpływ na poczucie tożsamości mieszkańców Będzina

Dobrawa Skonieczna-Gawlik

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2010 | Abstrakt | s. 312-325

The author of the article raises the issue of changes taking place in the urban space of Będzin and their influence on man. She wonders if the inhabitants of Będzin feel connected with their city, identify with it or if the current spacious urbanist system of the city influences their attitude. Which streets, districts and elements of architecture are the inhabitants of Będzin mostly attached to? Which of these do they consider as symbols and why? Is their attitude influenced by their knowledge of history and culture of the area of living? The work also deals with the problem of the influence of the urban space transformation on the continuity of tradition, self identification and sense of identity of people from Będzin. In order to gain the information on the influence of the urban space on the identity of people living in Będzin, the author presents a spacious urbanist development of the city over centuries. Next, on the basis of the studies and conversations with the inhabitants, she raises the issue of “islandness” of the urban buildings, the separation or even a partial separation of both urban and suburban districts. She pays attention to important and considered to be central or symbolic spaces or buildings in the city which, according to the inhabitants of Będzin, though precious and valuable (e.g. historical), are often neglected, little attractive or mismanaged by the government. Although the inhabitants of Będzin, in majority, are attached to their city, they see its lacks and imperfections. However, many people place family bonds, friends in the first place. Only later on do they place their attachment to the city. The author, on the basis of the studies, states that currently, a small influence on the sense of bond with the city among the inhabitants of Będzin is ascribed to the traditional culture. Many of them cannot even show its elements, such as customs, beliefs, songs, dances, etc. Taking everything into consideration, the author states that the process of searching for one’s own identity by the inhabitants of Będzin has just started, and its course is conditioned by not only the historical past and economic factors, but also to a large extent the urbanist — spacious structure of the city, the urban space shaped by inhabitants and shaping them as such.

Kształtowanie się tożsamości wielopoziomowej w państwach Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej po 1989 roku — zagadnienia teoretyczne

Liliana Węgrzyn-Odzioba

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2014 | Abstrakt | s. 225-239

Transformation of the socio-cultural realm in Central and Eastern Europe countries associated with the processes of globalization, as well as European integration, led to revitalize the debate on the dynamics and directions of changes of identity. Besides the categories associated with, so-called, “postmodern identity”, often questioning the very existence of dentity as such, other issues have appeared which indicate multilevel identity, taking into account relationship between European, national and regional identity. On the margin of this debate another and new subplot emerged, which is related to migration from non-European cultures and the possibility of spreading and therefore shaping a new model of European identity.

Sztuka — potrzebna czy niepotrzebna pamięć miejsca?

Ewa Gładkowska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2012 | Abstrakt | s. 207-217

Against the background of a dramatic and complicated post-war past of Warmia and Mazuria, the author of the article makes an attempt to show area impoverishment being the result of among others the ignorance, and often, a methodical distortion of a historic substance, constituting an element of foreign heritage. In an outline, she presents a difficult process of regaining the awareness of a multicultural heritage of these lands, underlining a contribution of the Borussia Cultural Community to the development of a different culture of inheritance than the one before the political transformation. A work of art being a carrier of historical and aesthetic values is also a memory of the place. Especially the architecture monuments realize this mission combining the present with the past. They remind of their old identity performing a new function today. Basing on the example of the project Mendelson’s House, realized by Borussia in Olsztyn, the possibilities of the restoration of the very object connected with the history of East-Prussian Jews and an activity of Erich Mendelson, a world-famous architect from Olsztyn were presented. The project realized by Borussia seems to be a solution adjusted to the contemporary needs connected with the acquisition of cultural heritage and places of memory. In view of its aesthetic values, art is a special carrier of memory and cultural good building, as attempted to be shown, the sense of a region al identity inscribing into the idea of an open regionalism. The art of this region is perceived as dominants of the cultural memory when exploring and acquiring a multicultural heritage of Warmia and Mazuria.

Wybory repertuarowe Sceny Polskiej Tĕšínského divadla w Czeskim Cieszynie na rzecz zachowania tożsamości narodowej i regionalnej polskiej mniejszości narodowej na Zaolziu

Mirosława Pindór

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 18-07-2019 | Abstrakt | s. 91-104

The article quotes, as a context for the problematics defined in the title, demographic data indicating systematic decrease of Polish population in Zaolzie. The publication referred to, Wizja 2035. Strategia rozwoju polskości na Zaolziu [Vision 2035: Strategies for the Development of Polishness in Zaolzie] (2015), suggests that national and regional awareness are two fundamental values of collective identity which consolidate the community in question. According to the mentioned study, amongst the major positive factors that have to be accounted for while considering the future of the Polish national identity, Scena Polska Tĕšínského divadla w Czeskim Cieszynie is prominent. The repertoire choices presented in the article were made as early as in 1951 by the said professional theatre company run by Polish autochthons in Těšín Silesia, and those choice ought to be perceived as both the carriers of Polishness and an important indicator of regional identity. They prove unambiguously that the only Polish-language professional theatre operating outside Poland may be considered a benchmark of rejuvenating and embedding the national and regional awareness of the Polish minority in Zaolzie.

Mieszkanie w stylu IKEA. Rozważania z obszaru etnografii zamieszkiwania

Katarzyna Orszulak-Dudkowska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2012 | Abstrakt | s. 190-203

The article presents considerations on a domestic space, its functional division and ways of arrangement, the analysis of which is to illustrate both the continuation of old cultural patterns, and various types of changes proved by the attempts to transfer new social trends to homes. The author underlines that an overview of the ways of living in a given culture can reflect the dynamics of the rhythm of a particular culture. The way of organizing and functioning a house has always been influenced by such factors as the level of a technical development, economy type, values and ideals of a dominant culture, as well as a political system and social ideology. However, nowadays, a big influence on shaping a domestic space is ascribed to the culture dominated by the market laws and common consumerism, as well as a marketing policy of big market chains and commercial messages promoting their offer. An example of this commercial message which influences certain ways of arranging and using a flat interior design is in socio-cultural conditions in Poland these days, is a catalogue of IKEA shopping chains which, in these considerations, constitutes the basic material subject to analysis (the IKEA catalogues published in Poland between 2004—2011 more specifically). As the analysis conducted has it, the IKEA marketing materials treat house as one of the most appreciated values. What is more, it is a domestic space and its arrangement that is to be one of the most important elements defining an identity of an individual, but also revealing the quality of their everyday life. Thinking about a home designed in an IKEA style refers both to cultural traditions, presenting a vision of living in the contemporary world deriving from a material heritage of various world cultures, and grows from the rules of the market governing the economy of modern societies. Thus, IKEA, in its marketing practices, aims at developing a new life style meaning a particular relationship of traditions and material heritage with culture based on the market and commercial laws, but also deriving from a modern thinking about man’s identity these days.

Wokół problematyki zbiorowych wyobrażeń o przeszłości. Kilka refrleksji w związku z badaniami śląskiej ludności rodzimej

Marian Grzegorz Gerlich

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-12-2011 | Abstrakt | s. 104-115

Collective memory, the issue visibly raised recently, is particularly important, and perhaps, especially with reference to the reality of the Silesian native population; regional collectiveness of a special history. Analysing the very phenomenon in the context of ethnology/anthropology and also basing on the arrangements (and terminology) within the scope of history and sociology, the very problem has its clear conditions and regional features in Upper-Silesian reality as well as processes taking place on the scale of the postcommunist Europe. In the space in question — as a result of the process of system transformation two different phenomena such as economic (transformations of the economic policy), trade (industry restructuring), social (structure, relation and bond transformation, lowering of life standard, and change of life style), ethnic-national (divisions within native population, a fully non-cristallised national process, erosion of Polish national attitudes, the phenomenon of the so called Silesian nationality, preceded by the growth of the so called Silesian option, and, finally, cultural ones (the predominance of the Silesian over Polish one, a weak relation with the Polish symbolic universe, revitalization of the Silesian identity) clashed here. The result has constituted a peculiar collective memory of the Polish People’s Republic being the expression of current dilemmas, questions, as well as trauma and hope. The very states are projected on and referred to the past. Moreover, in the perspective of our interest, the phenomenon of collective memory manifests in its different functions such as enculturation, information, explication, legitimization (of concrete events, messages, anniversaries, people), axiologisation (of processes, events or people), reproduction (“processing” of given facts or values) or redefinition — on the level of informality of given notions. It is this series of factors that decides on the importance of the research problem raised which is also connected with the phenomenon of identity in a special way.

Śląsk jako region pograniczny. Specyfika warunków życia ludności i ich znaczenie kulturotwórcze

Irena Bukowska-Floreńska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-12-2011 | Abstrakt | s. 89-103

Cultural tradition of Silesia is connected with its location at the meeting point of trade going from the east westward and from the north southward. A socio-political and economic situation of this region and settlement processes caused that the cultures of neighbouring countries and ethnic groups: Polish, German, Czech, Morawy permeated in this area from the Middle Ages forming the borderline culture. Life conditions in this region in the past were influenced by not only long-standing dependence on neighbouring countries (Prussia, Germany and Austria later on — till the beginning of the 20th century and then German Occupation till the half of the 20th century), but the development of coal mine ores and industry. The process of industrialization which covered especially Upper Silesia, the outskirts of Cieszyn and Opawa Silesia brought about a rapid development of technological civilization. Existential dependence of local and inflow population of physical work in coal mining and industry, and the necessity to getting accustomed to outside farm work caused the development of new categories of professional groups, a specific way and life style, formation of a new industrial culture. Ardousness of dangerous conditions, the need to provide for the everyday life and coresponsibility in the work place and family life resulted in deep religiousness, strength of social bond and sense of unique responsibility and awareness of family, local and regional identity. It all had not only a culture-created importance but contributed to the formation of personal features of Silesian population who have considered themselves as hard-working, well-organised, responsible and economical people till now. Contemporary cultural transformations in this region are connected not only with the phenomenon of culture globalization being popularized, but the necessity to restrict former coal mining and industry, regression of former sources of living. Tradition-maintained social culture and spiritual culture rooted in mentality of native population is however still a feature of the very population, its borderline culture constituting support for the awareness of the identity of people in Silesia.

Granica - "portret" antropologiczny

Halina Rusek

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-12-2011 | Abstrakt | s. 77-88

It is difficult to define the spacious scope of borderland because its only stable point is the borderline. It visibly separates any two parts, two societies with their different systems of values, models and life styles, also often separates “the familiar” from “the foreign”. It is so on the Polish-Czech borderline where the Olza River used to flow through the culturally homogeneous Cieszyn Silesia and currently, as the country borderline, separates two Cieszyn lands going their own and separate ways for over 90 years. Revolutionary changes in Poland and Czech Republic from the turn of the 1980s and 1990s have changed the nature of the borderline which has become the focal point of the most and most intensive transborderline cooperation. Does it mean that the unity of Cieszyn Silesia as a culturally homogeneous and Central European region can return one day? It seems impossible because even the strongest formal relations, administrative actions and intensive mutual contacts will not glue dispersed identities of the inhabitants of both sides of borderland into one Cieszyn identity. Though, the identity of the inhabitants is never homogeneous and clear. It is composed of extremely rich and ethnically diversified material. The people of the borderland move freely from culture to culture, choosing the best contents and models for them, which causes that all dissimilarities are obvious for them and worth acceptance. However these are the people always situated on one side of the border, the one they identify with as their private homeland. The inhabitants of Cieszyn Silesia have two such homelands.

„Nadprzyrodzone” w redefiniowaniu tożsamości Ukraińców po rewolucji godności

Olga Solarz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 18-07-2019 | Abstrakt | s. 105-120

The issues touched upon in the article concern the impact of the “supernatural” element in re-defining the Ukrainians’ identity during and after the Revolution of Dignity, including the merger of the events’ casualties with the image of an angel hero fighting under the leadership of Archangel Michael against the Yanukovych regime. It instigated the process of the mythologizing victims, whose souls – according to collective imagination – composed the Nebesna Sotnya waging war against evil from the heavens above, while at the same time protecting the living. The community commenced the said re-definition of identity, among others, by referring the initiation hero’s journey, who first fought at Maidan, then proceeded to the battlefield of war, while still remaining under the “supernatural” protection. Moreover, mystical signs only reinforced the rightfulness of taking up the challenge and the righteousness of the very idea.

Kultura alternatywna — tożsamość — komunikacja

Grzegorz Studnicki

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-12-2011 | Abstrakt | s. 185-197

A social group functioning in Polish reality after 1989 combining features of punk and neoanarchism subcultures, associated with “anarcho-punk”, is combined with joint symbols, values and more or less direct social relations, interactions or social bonds. Despite some secondary local differences and ethnic as well as national flavour, neoanarchist environments and punk subcultures are treated as certain imagined communities constituting a peculiar point of view and “tool” for their participants, through which they perceive, interpret and evaluate the world surrounding them, behaviours or their or others actions. At the same time they are a “product” of “late postmodernism” and “mirror” in which the specificity and condition of the contemporary culture reflect and break. People connected with anarcho-punk through the network of mutual interactions within movement, both the direct and indirect ones, and thanks to numerous contacts with social system external to them very often use other fields of culture and human activity, among others decomposing the elements of popular culture in order to create their own system of references and meanings. Intergroup communication and jointly taken forms of activity play an important role in the process of identity gain or the choice of lifestyle as well as evaluation of socio-cultural reality. They are the means of conveying symbols, patterns of thoughts, myths enabling the interpretation of the world. Thus, they guarantee the”reproduction” of an anarchist discourse. Participants joining the actions within the movement do not only use the already-existing system of meanings, but also modify it and adjust to the changing socio-culture background. Such socially created and approved system of symbols do not only guarantees the continuity of the movement, but also serves the formation of new values, strategies or social practices which serve the group and their members to create new meanings, a critical description and working out the strategy serving the opposition in the light of dominating discourses, structures or centres of power. Thanks to symbols, repeated, interpreted, redefined constantly anew, the movement members give sense to their actions, valorize and structure the world surrounding them, define their own place in the world, interpreting their own experiences and direct their actions.

Na pograniczu tożsamości. Zmiana nazwiska po ślubie przez kobiety w Polsce

Magdalena Ziółkowska , Iwona Przybył

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 30-06-2025 | Abstrakt | s. 1-15

Nazwisko kobiet po ślubie jest zagadnieniem praktycznie nieobecnym w polskiej przestrzeni badawczo-naukowej. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą analizy zjawiska zmiany (lub braku zmiany) nazwiska po ślubie przez kobiety w ujęciu interdyscyplinarnym. Autorki na podstawie zrealizowanych przez siebie badań socjologicznych dokonują interpretacji momentu zmiany nazwiska jako przykładu obrzędu przejścia w myśl teorii A. van Gennepa, rozumianego jako symboliczne przekraczanie granicy/progu. W artykule podejmujemy rozważania dotyczące nazwiska kobiety po ślubie w kontekście siły tradycji, przeobrażeń tożsamości społecznej oraz postrzegania przez kobiety granic indywidualności.

Kijowski Majdan jako symbol nowej Ukrainy

Aleksandra Synowiec

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2015 | Abstrakt | s. 144-153

Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kiev is not just a geographic location, the city’s central square, but an area of freedom etched on the topography of the Ukrainian collective memory, an element of the symbolic resources on which today’s Ukrainian identity is founded. The concept of “Maidan” is filled with rich symbolic content. Maidan has become a social, political, ethical and religious category. Ukrainian revolution, Crimean crisis, separatist aspirations in Donetsk and Lugansk show how complicated the nation-building processes in Ukraine are. The role of Maidan in shaping citizenship among the competitive strategies of identity is worth noting. The question arises if a modern political nation was born in Maidan. Referring to my own observations made in Kiev in January and February 2013, the Ukrainian media coverage and numerous conversations with residents of Kiev, I would like to point to Kiev’s Maidan as a symbol in contemporary collective identity of Ukrainians.

W stronę tożsamości grupowej. Przestrzeń miejska a media w okresie 2-8 kwietnia 2005 roku

Grzegorz Studnicki

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2010 | Abstrakt | s. 251-267

The text is devoted to the events that took place in the Polish cities between 2 and 8 April 2005 — in the period of the national mourning after the death of John Paul II. It seems that it was during this period that a national religious community and collective identity connected with it manifested their existence at the streets. The actions jointly undertaken by social actors, such as white marches, joint prayers, singing and numerous references to national and religious symbols, had visible features of the transitional period that is why the author of the article, analyzing the very socio cultural behaviours, refers to the theory of Arnold van Gennep and Turner’s conception connected to it. The phenomenon of this event cannot be considered without taking into account the means of mass media, their role in the contemporary world and power of their influences. Thus, the references were made to the theory of Jean Boudrillard and the qualitative analysis of the contents of press texts in the period under investigation was conducted.

Pomysł na Katowice - kolejna corbusierowska utopia czy realna miejska tożsamość

Elżbieta Anna Sekuła

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2010 | Abstrakt | s. 151-163

A planned reconstruction of an Upper Silesian city raises extreme emotions among its inhabit¬ants (and not only). The authorities have a particular vision of this place, definitely a modern one, basing on the urbanist and architecture solutions introduced in the metropolis of Europe and all over the world. The reconstruction is to cover the centre of Katowice. The text presents the winning project of an architecture studio by Tomasz Konior. The roundabout of the art is always the beginning of the path which is to be created in Katowice. It will be composed of the laces in which the current artists presenting different actions and using different media will be active. The image and function of this part of the city will change completely. However, such ideas and actions are arbitrary in nature. It does not mean that the choice is wrong. The “French way” shows that the most visionary realizations in Paris would never appear if they were based on social advice. They also barely take into account local traditions and forms present in the urban landscape grounded in the awareness of Silesians. The aim is to make the new symbolic surplus of the space in Katowice become the basis allowing for the self identification of both those inhabitants who are inclined to accept social changes concerning the whole region and those from the outside — settling in here for good and tourists. It goes about the creation of specific urban attractions which will create a new image of Katowice, interest, distinguish the space of this Upper Silesian city and at the same time remove negative associations built on the stereotypes of mine landscapes. Is such a reconstruction (because this is the task which both the clerks, urbanists and architects aim at) based on the spacious structure possible? To what an extent is the compromise, the combina¬tion of the new one with the elements of the local tradition, allowing for an ease of a revolutionary change in the urban identity necessary? What creates the so far identification of the city and its inhabitants, what is worth saving and which signs and perspectives should be definitely disposed of? What will new Katowice look like? It is worth remembering that it has been a “cycling city” since its creation, which to a large extent decides on the specificity and potential mobility. All these questions constitute the frame of a work.

More and more people, especially young have problems with indentifying themselves and cultural heritage. The ethnology examines the mechanisms of culture, globalisation processes and cultural heritage. The purpose of this article is describing the relation between culture globalisation and consumerism as well as identity crisis. Efforts have been taken based on the literature and own considerations that propagation of consumer life style in global media culture contributes to the spread of addition, depression and aggression and at the same time forgetting about the cultural heritage and lost of the sense of identity.

Język jako znak etnoidentyfikacyjny mniejszości niemieckiej nad górną Nitrą w kontekście przemian historyczno-społecznych

Silvia Letavajová , Michal Kurpaš

Język: EN | Data publikacji: 19-12-2022 | Abstrakt | s. 1-21

Niemcy również należą do tradycyjnych mniejszości narodowych na Słowacji. Ich przodkowie przybywali na te tereny od XIII wieku głównie jako górnicy. Jednym z miejsc, w których się osiedlili, była górna Nitra i okolice Nitrianske Pravno. Do końca połowy XX wieku ludność niemiecka miała w tych gminach większość. Ze względu na przemiany polityczne i społeczne po drugiej wojnie światowej, kiedy zostali wysiedleni, ich liczebność radykalnie się zmniejszyła, a tożsamość etniczna uległa osłabieniu. W opracowaniu skupiono się na zmianach historycznych i społecznych, które warunkują pochodzenie etniczne tej społeczności mniejszościowej. Skupia się na elementach, którymi Niemcy nad górną Nitrą deklarują swoją wspólnotę i odmienność od większości populacji. Szczególną uwagę poświęcamy językowi jako jednemu z istotnych składników tożsamości etnicznej, jego praktyce i znaczeniu w samoidentyfikacji mniejszości niemieckiej. Główną procedurą metodologiczną jest wywiad biograficzny i ustny, przeprowadzony z respondentami z gmin Nitrianske Pravno, Malinová i Tužina w 2022 r.

Zabawka jako tekst kultury

Jan Kajfosz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-12-2011 | Abstrakt | s. 198-208

The article is devoted to the role of a toy in the process of getting to know the world by man in the process of enculturation. What constitutes the center of author’s attention is a toy programmed and made for children’s play, especially the toy, the aim of which is to represent something different — most often the thing which for man playing it, because of his/her low height, little experience and limited opportunities, is physically not available directly or often even dangerous (e.g. a dangerous car represented by a little car understood as its miniaturized model). A similar representation bases on the analogy, which allows for naming a given type of toy an iconic toy. It helps people to relatively safely get to know the world which is dangerous and difficult to grasp. The iconic toy in this sense serves to get familiarized with the world. Within the culture of a traditional type the iconicity of toy boils down to the analogy based on simplification. The culture toy of a traditional type is always distinguished by “essential” (in other words typical) object features it represents. Thus, it is somehow a counterpart of the prototype in the cognitivist theory in the sense that it is an idealized image of the thing represented. It is also its functional equivalent if one assumes that its task is to simplify and cognitively make available the world which, on account of its diversity and changeability, is cognitively intangible. Thus the aim of the traditional toy is to give the reality specific borders and accustom man to it, which is a condition of a cognitive ruling over the world. In the contemporary culture apart from iconic toys the analogy of which to the object they represent is based on simplification appear toys, the analogy of which to the represented object bases on “deformation” (e.g. an anthropomorphic monster with a non-standard number of eyes, limbs, etc.). From the cognitive point of view, similar toys do not confirm the world borders. On the contrary, they constantly disturb them, thus violating models, types and typologies. The function of similar toys in the enculturation process may lead to preparing man to functioning in the “fluid” modernity (Z. Bauman), which is characterized by instability of the cosmos borders in that that the very borders are prone to possible revisions and changes. Verbal play, developing in the situation of direct presence of the sender and receiver are extremely precious for retaining the identity of a child living in a multicultural environment. Spontaneous relations during play not only integrate the peer environment, but also give the sense of safety resulting from the belief that the remaining participants of the communication act have an analogical system of values, represent similar views and have a similar sense of aestheticism. A said word is the symbol of the living and dynamic culture which fulfills the needs of the group in a natural way. In the system of culture shaped in such a way foreign

Walka o przestrzeń w mieście wielokulturowym — na przykładzie współczesnego Wilna

Iwona Kabzińska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2016 | Abstrakt | s. 71-86

A mythologised image of Wielkie Księstwo Litewskie and its capital — Vilnius — says about a co existence of the representatives of the ethnic, religious and cultural groups. The situation changed radically in the 19th century when the leaders of the Lithuanian national movement treated the opposi¬tion to everything that is Polish as a condition of the success of the national idea, the development of the Lithuanian culture and identity. The benefits deriving from the historical relations with Poland were negated. The Poles were accused of the conscious devastation of the Lithuanian culture and compulsory Polonization of Lithuanians. The next source of conflicts was the inclusion of Vilnius and Wileńszczyzna to the II Republic of Poland (the so called Vilnius excursion 1919—1920). In spite of the flow of time, the echoes of the battles of Vilnius have been still alive. As it was in the past, the questions that arise are Whose city it is? To whom does it belong? The cause of the conflicts is not only historical “past”, political issues, mutual accusations and sense of harm, but also the contemporary transformations of the city. The battle has been fought on the so-called resources, being at the same time a perfect example of the rivalry of the space in a physical and symbolic sense. The very battle also has an economic dimension. It is also interpreted in the ethnic categories (the opposition: poor Poles — rich Lithuanians: Poles as the victims of the Lithuanian policy). The changes taking place in the space of the city lead to a greater restriction and appropriation of the sacred sphere by the commercialization, business, noise and entertainment. The conflicts fought in the Vilnius space (and on this space) prove how difficult it is to realize the ideals of multi culturality, an intercultural dialogue, non conflict life at the cultural borderline. They also show the power of money and its contribution to a division of the space of the city and managing this space. It is also visible on the basis of the problems with the returning the ground in Vilnius and Wileńszczyzna to its lawful owners (Poles in the predominating part of the places), the realization of the project “Great Vilnius” and appropriation of the Polish cultural heritage and its Lithuanisation.

Kultúrne dedičstvo — v politike, praxi a vzdelávaní (na príklade Slovenska)

Katarína Koštialová , Jolana Darulová

Język: ##locale.name.sk_SK## | Data publikacji: 20-02-2012 | Abstrakt | s. 229-2470

Cultural and art heritage of Slovakia has been since 2007 one of the priorities in research and development. As a consequence of growing globalization and acculturation there is a real danger of the loss of traditional cultural values. That is why it is crucial to pay special attention to the research of cultural and art heritage. Application of knowledge on cultural heritage in the educational process is highly important because the level of national and ethnic identity and pride of young generation is not connected with cultural and art traditions of Slovakia.

Wpływ przestrzeni kulturowej miasta na identyfikację jednostki - przykład Ciechanowa i Warszawy

Irena Kotowicz-Borowy

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2010 | Abstrakt | s. 416-423

We create, animate and value space, marking it with a historical memory of events and filling it with artifacts. They constitute signs and symbols transmitted with the whole cultural heritage and tradition to next generations. A town dweller, as man of a traditional rural community, moves throughout his/her whole life between two types of space: a safe one (orbis interior) and an unknown, foreign, dangerous one (orbis exterior). The loss of place by an individual in a known and safe space causes willingness and need to find him/herself a place. The lack of ingrainment causes the inability of identification. The individual often feels alienated, deprived of his/her “own place” in the natural, historical, geographical, ethnic and cultural sense. The identification as such of Ciechanów town dwellers who came to Warszawa 30—40 years ago proves the lack of the sense of full identity with the cultural space of the capital. It is to a greater extent the identification with particular places in this space, e.g. with an Old Town, The Warsaw University, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Wilanów or even The Palace of Culture and Science. A big part of the cultural space in Ciechanów was rejected, especially the one which lost its traditional image and because of Macdonaldisation became unremarkable (e.g. Marshal J. Piłsudski Square). The young generation of children of migrants from Ciechanów, brought up already in Warszawa, e.g. in the district of Ursynów, shows the sense of bond with the cultural town space, both the traditional, modern and Macdonald one. At the same time, they are more and more interested in places connected with the childhood of their grandparents and parents, as well as more and more often reveal the willingness to identify with the traditional cultural space of their ancestors.

Miasto starych ludzi. Nowa Huta i jej mieszkańcy

Renata Hołda

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2010 | Abstrakt | s. 326-337

The propaganda literature of the period of creation of a metallurgic conglomerate and “new city” connected to it nearby Kraków, ideologically juxtaposed the young against the old, implying a tendency to radical social changes in the case of the former. It was young people coming from the whole country and deriving mainly from the rural environment, fancing themselves an avantgarde of socialism that constituted 80% of builders, and, later on, inhabitants of Nowa Huta. In spite of having included the very district into the administrative borderlines of Kraków, the integration of the two parts of the city was impossible for many decades, which was largely caused by mutual prejudices, deriving from the cultural differences of communities inhabiting it. At that time, the image of Nowa Huta as a district touched by various pathologies and, thus, extremely dangerous, was ingrained in the so called common belief. The very stereotype was rooted by a series of articles on the examples of violence connected to the subculture of blockers from Nowa Huta. It resulted in, among other things, the fall of attractiveness of the very district as a potential place of living and, consequently, the outflow of young, rich and industrious people choosing the places of a greater prestige. In connection with natural demographic processes, the former district of youth became a city of “old people” at the beginning of the 21st century. However, there is much evidence that the history of this “youngest district of Kraków” has not finished. At present, on the rising tide of interests with socialism, one can observe the attempts of Nowa Huta revitalization which is connected with the exploration of its original past. The district is also becoming a witness of interesting cultural initiatives and happenings presenting a new perspective on the period of the formation of socialism. Of course, the very situation is, above all, commercial in nature, but in many inhabitants of blocks of flats in Nowa Huta, evokes pride, constituting, at the same time, the element of community formation and identity creation.

Interetniczność w folklorze dzieci na pograniczu polsko-czeskim

Katarzyna Marcol

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-12-2011 | Abstrakt | s. 153-170

The study is devoted to oral, anonymous and collective works of Polish children in Cieszyn Silesia, on both sides of the Polish-Czech national borderline. A special emphasis was put on the repertoire functioning in the environment of Polish minority in Zaolzie, in the Czech Republic. Here, I aim at discussing the interethnic specificity of verbal play by Polish children from Zaolzie by means of a comparison with ethnically Polish store of folklore on the Polish side of the borderline in Cieszyn Silesia and with ethnically Czech texts. Verbal works of Polish national minority in the Czech Republic develops under the constant influence of ethnically foreign culture, language, literature and mass media. The analysis of specific genres of child folklore — rhymes — showed that the texts are marked by the interference of two languages and cultures. It is, however, the proportions between the elements borrowed from other culture and the parent one that bring about the ethnic nature. Borrowings, though, are not taken on passively and mechanically, but are modeled according to the principles of one’s own anonymous works. The influences of Czech enrich the Polish-speaking works of children, are adapted to the poetic system in accordance with the principles of one’s own anonymous works. Verbal play, developing in the situation of a direct presence of the sender and receiver, are incredibly precious for maintaining identity of a child living in the multicultural environment. Spontaneous reactions when playing do not only integrate peer environment, but give the sense of security deriving from the belief that the remaining participants of the act of communication have an analogous system of values, represent a similar worldview, and have a similar sense of aesthetics. A spoken word is a symbol of a live and dynamic culture, which realizes the needs of a group in a natural way. In the system of culture shaped in such a way foreign ethnic influences can only enrich it brings about its interethnic specificity.

Małe miasto jako przedmiot badań etnologicznych w Polsce. Stan i perspektywy

Grzegorz Odoj

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-12-2011 | Abstrakt | s. 116-131

A small town is almost completely skipped in studies of Polish ethnologists. The main scientific output in this field constitute works by sociologists, demographers, geographers, historians and urbanists. The reason of ethnographers’ weaker interest in small town communities lies above all in the position of classical ethnography, functioning until recently, for which a traditional thread of research interest was the culture of farming village community. After all, a relatively small number, complex structure and sometimes complicated network of small social groups, people density, intensifying specific types of social interaction, concentration of different functions connected with urban organization and lifestyle are only some of premises reinforcing the attractiveness of small-town communities as a type of laboratory of ethnological studies and ethnological analyses. On the basis of an overview and short description of the research situation concerning the cultural issues of the small-town community as the research subject, one can see that there are many topics that are hardly examined or totally skipped in the studies. Still there are few works concentrating on the problems of attitudes, motivation of behaviours and interaction. The awareness aspects in the functioning of a small town as a collective community have been covered to a large extent. Thorough, regular and broader-scale studies on the phenomenon of cultural identity and local identification among the inhabitants of Polish small towns have not been conducted yet. After all the studies carried out with reference to a slightly big community, allowing for grasping all problems appearing in it, allow to explain the creation of social groups, their duration, development dynamics and coherence in a more precise and consistent way. It usually has a vital importance for formulating wider theoretical generalizations further on. A relative spacious isolation and closeness of social contacts enable the conditions to verify the already stated theses. What is more, a lot of interdependences existing within a small-town spacious-cultural system can constitute a basis for generalizations extrapolated on other levels and systems of a social life.

Żywioł przestrzeni czy ład pamięci? Przestrzeń jako źródło pamiętania i tożsamości społecznej — uwagi na temat procesu badawczego

Jacek Szczyrbowski

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2015 | Abstrakt | s. 26-34

Recent studies of the biographical identity of man go back to the concept of memory as the foundation of self-determination of an individual. Less attention is paid to social memory. Memory is rooted in a particular space. The more heterogeneous the space is (e.g. urban space), the greater diversity of memories it implies. Modern space becomes a manual for memory, focused on identifying, through space, locations in reminiscence. This article attempts to describe the role of space in the study of social memory. Emphasis is put on the research process, especially the interview which uses photographs and maps.

Turystyka etniczna a doświadczanie kulturowej inności

Beata Hoffmann

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2012 | Abstrakt | s. 153-166

Relocation in space has accompanied people for ages. Searching for food, new possibilities of the settlement, work, education or religious cult places have become the aim of first excursions and journeys. It is difficult, though, to regard the communities at that time as travel and their activity as the development of tourism. There exist many definitions of tourism, and the majority of them underlines the importance of a free, and spacious mobility of people connected with changing places of residence, environment or the rhythm of life. Irrespective of definitional propositions, tourism is without a doubt a complex psychological, social, economic, spacious and cultural phenomenon. Special attention is to be paid to connections between tourism and culture. Tourism protects, enriches and popularizes cultural goods while culture inspires the development of tourism. Enabling culture meetings, tourism is becoming a more important factor of cultural changes. A revival of locality, growing criticism of mass civilization, and technizational idealism observed in recent years, formed a type of nostalgia for the past, and influenced a significant growth of interest in cultural, or put it more precisely, ethnic tourism. Ethnic tourisms is identified with alternative, rural, folklore, adventurous or sentimental tourism. Its present shape, however, has become yet another example of cultural non-transparency of modern reality. On the one hand, we observe a clear demand for typical ethnically-foreign tourist elements and a valorization of our own traditions, and a conscious development of a native group identity on the other.

Praktyki dokumentowania i wykorzystania dziedzictwa kulturowego Śląska Cieszyńskiego od początku XIX wieku do wybuchu II wojny światowej

Grzegorz Studnicki

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 21-12-2020 | Abstrakt | s. SEIA.2020.20.01 s. 1-21

This article is devoted to an interest in local folk culture, regional heritage, and the past of Cieszyn Silesia, as well as to methods extending back through the 19th century for the documentation, popularization, and protection of the unique cultural knowledge of the region. Attention is primarily given to the activities of the Cieszyn Silesians themselves. The author examines multiple sources, including local periodicals, for elements of local culture (folklore, dialects, traditional outfits, customs). He tries to capture how the phenomena of cultural heritage is defined both regionally and nationally, and also how it can be used as a resource in tourism and in broadly-understood identity policy.

Dziedzictwo kulturowe jako część osobowości i jego instrumentalizacja w życiu społeczno-politycznym

Krzysztof Gładkowski

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2012 | Abstrakt | s. 13-31

The article presents selected aspects of relations between cultural heritage and human personality. The main hypothesis is a belief that there exists a tight connection between the place of birth and growing up and the development of human personality. Political manipulation, aiming at distorting historical facts concerning the history of places that were subject to different authorities as a result of territorial changes in order to legitimize authorities, constitutes an important barrier in personality development. Its consequence is the so called suspended identity. An important role of a homeland in human personality was illustrated on the example of an Upper‑Silesian Evangelic community. Its members live in dispersion in Germany nowadays. They create however a community based on a cultural bond shaped in the past in a home village and continued today in various forms of meetings, action and journeys to Heimat. In the case of this community, religion, apart from forms of cultivating bonds with a homeland, plays an important role in the process of rationalization of traumatic experiences from childhood and youth times, and, hence, in maintaining a mental balance through a consolidation of a social bond. Conclusions on the very relation between cultural heritage and personality are drawn in the final part of the text. They are philosophical as well as psychological‑anthropological in nature.

Transformacja przestrzeni publicznej współczesnego miasta — na przykładzie mysłowickiego centrum

Grzegorz Odoj

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2010 | Abstrakt | s. 87-99

The majority of aspects of the urban life concentrate in the public space, clearly separated from private spaces. The nature of the public space consists in the fact that it constitutes a joint urban space in the social sense, comprising different functions and meanings. It also constitutes the area where basically all inhabitants can feel free. The public space is a space of identity which makes it possible for the next generations of inhabitants to identify with the city. It makes the mutual communication and expression of people easier. It is a stage on which the mystery play of human life is played every day. In the public space, it is not only the past or the present that is coded, but also the new phe¬nomena reflecting deep transformations sometimes in the humanistic dimension of the urban space. A traditional space is the centre of the city, the most significant element and basic form of which is a centrally situated market — the market square — essential for the existence of both an individual and given social groups. Currently, shopping malls and hypermarkets are more often becoming a substitute of the public space. However, they are not a public space, but a private area only publically used. As long as the pub¬lic space is the sphere of freedom, it is the private space that usually undergoes numerous restrictions, control and social selection. Shopping malls usurp the right to “be the centre”, are a simulation of “the city in the city”. This way, they turn away a cultural code of the urban area — a traditional centre stops to exist or is the one only by name whereas the outskirts become “the centre”. In other words — a social life moves into the outskirts of the city. Such a situation is observed in Mysłowice — the city which was the subject of observations and inquiries. The opening of the Real hypermarket seven years ago has decreased the attractiveness of the city centre, especially the square market, as a trade, service, recreational or even cultural space. Real made, so to speak, an important reevaluation of an urban space of Mysłowice, decomposing its functional and symbolic dimension and determining human relations and behaviors in a direct way.

The study aims to describe a history and original forms of pre-muslim Persian New Year—Novruz, as well as its changes affected by migration experience of the original holders. We are interested in its role in creating community identity in the case of the Afghan diaspora in Slovakia. The findings suggest that in the new environment, there is a number of changes in the formal side—the absence of certain habits, their simplification and rationalization, the incorporation of major culture elements. In a term of significance, this holiday takes a new relevance and reflects the degree of the community integrity.

The Narrative Construction of Identity among the Namibian Czechs

Pavel Miškařík

Język: EN | Data publikacji: 18-07-2019 | Abstrakt | s. 121-137

The main goal of this paper is to explain how the group of so-called Namibian Czechs identifies itself and how it expresses the feeling of belonging to a specific identity in its narrative. The paper is based on the analysis of biographical narrative, which was obtained by the method of oral history, and it also contains information from archival sources and participant observation. The respondents are members of a group of fifty-six children war refugees, who were educated and accommodated in Czechoslovakia between 1985 and 1991. It was a part of international
solidarity aid, provided to liberation movements with communist orientation. The analysis of the biographical narrative of the respondents provides us with information about the specific individual reflection on processes of self-identification and a multiplicity of certain identities.

  The Project “Sheep” resulted from the special educator and ethnologist cooperation, as addressing the need for using an experience and place by representatives of different scientific areas, the purpose of which was to combine professional competence in innovative teaching. The main goal was to raise funds to buy a sheep, then entrust it to the experienced shepherd from Koniaków who wanders along the Carpathians and reconstruct the old way of grazing. At the same time, the participation in this project has been used as an excellent opportunity to talk about building the local identity and cultural heritage values of the region and disabled people. This project also concerned people who are often barely visible in the human herd—people with disabilities.

Realia poznawania języków obcych przez licealistów w dobie zjednoczonej Europy

Aleksandra Wojciechowska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2014 | Abstrakt | s. 162-172

Currently, development of language and cultural competencies is of fundamental importance. Cultural education (including multiculturalism) enriches and models one’s own culture, prepares for dialogue, creates identity based on the strong sense of national values and roots while respecting and understanding others. The goal of language learning is clear: education should lead to language competence, make cultural intertwining easier and implement the basis for tolerance and openness. Cultural (multicultural) competence is a result of gaining experience (also linguistic experience) which is an ongoing process involving analysis and discovering rules rather than being a skill that one can learn.

This article shows an important sphere of social life, i.e. Physical Culture, regarding its elements: play, games, and sports as intangible global and at the same time regional heritage of every corner of the world. Through this work, the author wants to emphasise the crucial role of traditional games and sports in the globalised world, also showing UNESCO and TAFISA’s huge initiatives and endeavours they undertake to revitalise and prevent old sports from being forgotten. They are devoted and very involved in building a better climate for the promotion of various traditional physical activities in the context of cultural diversity. The author also wants to stress in this article that there are few groups of people around the globe who really care about the intangible kind of heritage hidden in traditional forms of sports and games. The further intention of this work is to awaken the awareness of other researchers and people for whom the local heritage is fundamental for a better future in a unified world.

For the residents of Cieszyn Silesia, especially Czech, the establishment of national boundaries along the course of the Olza River in 1920, meant that they had to form a new picture of the world and determine their own place in the community, which also had to be redefined. For Zaolzie residents, the process of constructing their own identity depends on mechanisms of competition, negotiation and power (media, education and administration). It also is a consequence of the recognition of the boundary as something natural and “ever” existent. The clash of different self-identifications is seen on the symbolic level, especially linguistic.

New media, Internet and especially media Web. 2.0 are seen as the place of information exchange, creating dialogue, opening to the Other, Different, they are becoming a meeting place (Ryszard Kapuscinski). However, if we examine the space of the blogosphere, Facebook, Twitter, it can be seen as something quite different, the opposite. The network society becomes on the one hand, the community, connecting all users on the network, on the other hand, we can observe alienation from this society, people became more excluded and alone. In the new media we often meet up with closed space for “Ours” and to reject the “Others”. This kind of media became the birth place of 
“democracy 2.0” and “outraged network” (Manuell Castells). The Democracy 2.0. is being born in front of our eyes and its character is determined by the biggest Internet players, politics and also – the one that stays in “contra” – regular Internet users.

The Concept of Lexicon Devoted to Silesian Culinary Art

Lidia Przymuszała , Dorota Świtała-Trybek

Język: EN | Data publikacji: 18-07-2019 | Abstrakt | s. 46-62

As far as Silesia is concerned the language and cuisine constitute fundamental and distinguishing factors of the Silesian ethnic group, they are the determinants of cultural identity and the symbol of cultural identification. The concept of perceiving the culinary art from two perspectives, cultural and linguistic one, was born taking the above into account. Culinary art, as a component of culture understood in a broad manner, serves as a significant element of the language system as well. It plays a crucial culture-forming role in human life and it has certain position in the semantic structure of language which is adequate to its rank. The lexicon of Silesian cuisine, which is being currently prepared, aims at collecting names of dishes in one publication, not only those which are still in use today and dishes recorded in the general consciousness of Silesians, but it also aims at archiving culinary vocabulary which is basically forgotten by presenting it in close connection with the culture of the aforementioned region

Human-powered transport in Slovakia until the second half of the 20th century. Selected questions

Katarína Slobodová Nováková

Język: EN | Data publikacji: 28-12-2021 | Abstrakt | s. 1-20

For centuries, traditional means of transport have been tightly connected to traditional peasant culture. The work of a farmer has always represented not only the means of adaptation to the natural environment and the acquisition of essential articles of food and raw materials, but also the realization of one’s cultural identity. Over the centuries, it has acquired its typical features and has become distinct within several regional forms. This has been reflected in the traditional means of transport related to the daily annual cycle of a farmer’s work, as well as various non-agricultural opportunities. The aim of the study is to summarize the knowledge within the field of traditional transport in Slovakia during the first half of the 20th century, exemplified through some typical transport aids. It aims to point out their manifold utilization and their gradual adaptation to the changing natural, historical, and social conditions.

Sporny charakter Zaolzia w świetle Dziennika Józefa Pilcha oraz innych wybranych narracji autobiograficznych

Katarzyna Szkaradnik

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2016 | Abstrakt | s. 55-69

The situation of Zaolzie, a historical and geographical part of Cieszyn Silesia, is complicated. Despite the years of appurtenance to Czechia and Chechoslovakia there is still active Polish residence and both nations continue to share their history. In this article I intend to show the tense Polish-Czech relationship in Zaolzie presented in Dziennik. Zapiski bibliofila i dziejopisa 1963–1995 by Jerzy Pilch, a writer and essayist from Ustroń. This will be shown in the context of local memory and activist memory stressing the Polishness of the region. It will be possible to analyze how the ideological dimension of the identity is interwoven with an effort to bring about a narrative restoration of Zaolzie, divided by an arbitrary border.

Kolonizácia Dolnej zeme slovenským etnikom Na príklade výskumu kultúrnej krajiny vo Vojlovici (Srbsko)

Marián Žabenský , Silvia Letavayová

Język: ##locale.name.sk_SK## | Data publikacji: 18-07-2018 | Abstrakt | s. 244-255

The paper deals with the issue of cultural landscape research with emp‑
hasis on the changes caused by the colonization by Slovak and other ethnic groups.
Some parts are focused on defining the methodology of cultural landscape research
(multi-temporal analysis of cultural-landscape layers) and its subsequent application
in the studied area—the example of Vojlovica village, which is now part of the town
of Pančevo in Serbia. The paper also deals with the issue of cultural geography and
the retrospective influence of Slovak ethnicity on the landscape. Traditional material
and spiritual culture is a reflection of human action in the country and the result of
the relationship triangle: landscape—culture—history.

Katarína Koštialová , Jolana Darulová

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2013 | Abstrakt | s. 143-158

The aim of considerations is the analysis of the cultural space of neighbouring places situated in central Slovakia, namely Banska Bystrica and Zvolen. Basing on historical and ethnographic data the attempt was made to show the existence of various types of borders between the centers in question (a geographic, political, economic, economic, cultural and linguistic one). The emptirical studies assumed that the way of perceiving and interpreting the influence of the the very borders on people’s daily life, as well as their former and current influence on the local / town identity of inhabitants will be captured. The emphasis was put on presenting the actions of the inhabitants having a competitive and cooperative nature that have shaped the present-day economic, social and cultural needs, as well as the influence of a domestic and local politics aiming at forming one regional centre.

Cerowanie tradycji. Stroje Lachów Sądeckich jako wyraz tożsamości i przynależności regionalnej

Patryk Sebastian Rutkowski

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 15-06-2021 | Abstrakt | s. 1-14

Prowadzona do tej pory analiza ubioru dawnej Sądecczyzny pomijała jego wariantowość. Powielana zarówno przez badaczy jak i lokalnych regionalistów idea jednego wariantu stroju została skutecznie utrwalona w świadomości grupy identyfikowanej jako Lachy Sądeckie, a hermetycznie zamknięty obszar, całkowicie odporny na transformację stał się wyłącznym obszarem jego występowania. Proces użytkowania tradycyjnych strojów lachowskich jest istotnym elementem dyskursu społecznego, a jego analiza pobudza do kolejnych rozważań: czy nowa kreacja/rekompozycja to kontynuacja zjawisk folkloru, folkloryzmu, czy zupełnie inne zjawisko w kontekście autofolkloryzacji.

Zaprezentowano efekty działalności edytorskiej organizacji reprezentujących mniejszość niemiecką województwa śląskiego – Niemieckiej Wspólnoty „Pojednanie i Przyszłość”, Towarzystwa Społeczno-Kulturalnego Niemców Województwa Śląskiego oraz Górnośląskiej Fundacji Kultury i Spotkań im. Eichendorffa. Od lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku prowadzą one aktywność publikacyjną, której wynikiem są czasopisma, serie wydawnicze i rzadziej książki. Celem tego typu dokonań – jak wykazała analiza treściowa – jest podtrzymywanie wiedzy na temat osiągnięć przedstawicieli mniejszości, ich wkładu do rozwoju regionu (literatura, nauka, sztuka) oraz wskazanie obecnych potrzeb i aspiracji. Wszystkie scharakteryzowane w tekście przedsięwzięcia publikacyjne pozwalają etnosowi trwać na Śląsku i budować swoją tożsamość.

Tradycja i współczesność — przemiany obszarów kulturowych dawnych osiedli patronackich w postindustrialnym mieście

Barbara Rożałowska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2013 | Abstrakt | s. 87-97

The aim of the article is to show the relationship between the Zandek housing estate and the community inhabiting it. Concentrating workers of Donnersamck steelwork, it used to be a perfectly functioning space of inhabitance. Nowadays, the inhabitants form a culturally diversified system. The problems are standard flats and social pathology. Though, it used to be the place of a specific culture. Today Zandek can be considered a cultural area because of the monuments placed here and an active nature of enthusiasts. Tradition, closed in the inhabitance space, helps to look for an identity and meet the needs of living in a safe and healthy environment. It is a factor stimulating the formation of formal societies that have a positive influence on the whole local community.
