Popular culture is that aspect of modern cultural changes which is often ignored or dismisses - especially those which occur in relation to ethnicity. That view largely stems for a general attitude to pop culture which can be generally defined as conclusion stemming from the Frankfurt school. That is a view which is false and restrictive. Popular culture belongs to the same class of concepts as, for example, medieval or French culture and therefore it deserves the same consideration. The article argues in favour of the view whereby popular culture currently constitutes a permanent and irremovable element of the day-to-day cultural landscape at the beginning of the 21st Century. It is also one of the most important building blocks which create ethnic identity. Examples which support this thesis are the diverse musical practices - Japanese visual rock, Palestine and Israeli rap, Serb turbo-folk as well as selected kinds of music from around the world, such as reggae and bhangra in Britain, rai in France and salsa in the United States. These manifestations of pop culture perfectly show the pop cultural foundations of today's ethnicity in various parts of the world.

EMOTIONS, CULTURES, TEXTS. ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

The two most significant turning points of the last decades in cultural anthropology were tied to the reflective tide and the influence of feminist theories. Drawing on these, the author is considering various approaches to the sphere of human emotions. The common assumption is to treat emotions as part of culture - not an element of animal nature (Darwin) or subconscious determinism (Freud). The agreement with the assumption of understanding culture as source and tool of expressing emotions does not imply unanimity regarding the way of writing about it. Reflexive and feminist anthropologists suggest own strategies concerning both writing articles and field research.

THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF CULTURE IN POLAND: THE NEXT GENERATION?

The basic aim of the article is to analyse and assess the scholarly achievements of the youngest generation of the anthropologists of culture in Poland. The very notion of 'anthropology of culture' relates to a group of scholars active at the beginning of the 1980s. This group, very critical about the conditions of Polish ethnology at the time, formulated a new research programme that opened itself to new trends in the research of culture in the West. Today its representatives are recognized scholars and their works have become part of the local canon. Therefore, the direction in which the youngest scholars have gone, their attitude to tradition and their research areas seem to be of great interest. In author's opinion, the most important research areas, which co-create the picture of the new generation of Polish anthropology of culture, include: visual anthropology, analyses of popular culture, anthropology inspired by feminism, research into the phenomenon of globalization and the Internet. This means that anthropologists try to study what is new in culture, what emerges and what takes shape before their own eyes. Such key categories as a stranger, another, field research, poetics, style are redefined. It should be emphasized that young scholars have not formed any separate group that could be compared to that formed by their predecessors - this explains the question mark in the title. A wide range of their interests, personal passions, their own masters give an interesting multitude of scholarly approaches, unparallel in Polish anthropology until today.
