Abstracts

The article deals with the modern forms of parzenica - a traditional decorative pattern on male trousers of the Gorals (highlanders), an ethnographic group from the Polish Carpathian region. Traditionally placed on the Gorals trousers, the pattern has found a new application in the last several years. Its imitations are placed on various objects of everyday life; it is used as a wall decoration, a pattern on ordinary clothes, which are not part of traditional costumes. It is also used in tourism as a symbol of folk and authenticity, and sometimes even Polishness. These could be seen as the second life of the pattern, within the context of folklorism. The pattern, however, is still very popular in its place of origin and many highlanders use it to present their local identity. The article describes some of new functions that the pattern has nowadays.
