The aim of this article is to incorporate visuality into the theory of the social world as it was proposed in the interpretative sociology. The text consists of three parts. In the first, the authors present basic assumptions of the social world phenomenological theory. The second, elucidates the concept of visuality - the underpinnings of the chosen contexts of building and unifying the social worlds' visual aspects that are presented in the foregoing article. The last, opens to scrutiny the examples of processes in which the visuality becomes a pretext for gainsaying the intersubjectivity of social worlds and therefore, relates to the opposite phenomenon. The theoretical and exemplifying endeavors undertaken in the article may constitute an introduction to further, more complex analyses.

The article aims to sum up the reflections concerning visual culture and the visual aspect of life that have appeared in Polish sociology over the last twenty years as well as to analyse the area associated today with visual sociology. The authors give a short review of the history of Polish visual sociology, indicating at the beginning the most essential scientific and didactic events in this field. Further on, they analyse the ways of understanding the notion 'visual sociology' (and its cognate notions). They present the use of photography in anthropology and in social research, and give a critical analysis of the studies and representation of visual culture at the beginning of the 20th century. This leads them to the designation of two scopes of the contemporary notion of visual sociology: a more narrow (methodological) one and a broader one (which they call: 'the sociology of visual culture'). In all, this analysis shows the ways in which the term 'visual sociology' (and its cognate terms) has been gradually adopted, developed and re-defined in Poland.

The 'Kwestionariusz Kultury Wizualnej' (Visual Culture Questionnaire) is a nation-wide scientific project carried out by the Institute of Sociology of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. Over forty Polish researchers and artists, representing the fields of sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, film studies, philosophy, photography, media studies and art history, were asked to answer two questions: what is visual culture?; whether it is worthy of study and how and why? This article contains the project's assumptions and answers to the above questions.

The article is a reflection on the social memory of the inhabitants of cultural borderlands. The text is based on the results of empirical studies carried out in the village of Purda Wielka in 1948 and 2005, and consists of three parts. Each part shows the mutual relations between the macro- and micro-cultural (macro- and micro-historical) perspective, describing how major social and historical events affected everyday life. Particular parts concern the following topics: 'everyday commemoration', forms of commemorating past events, and the impact of changes of the educational system on everyday life.
