The article presents an attempt to combine food studies (also termed the anthropology of food) with scholarly reflection regarding memory. The analysis focuses on the book entitled In Memory’s Kitchen. A Legacy from the Women of Terezin [ed. Cara de Silva 2006], containing recipes for Jewish dishes written down by women from the Teresienstadt ghetto. But some dozen recipes that have survived do not make it a cookbook, which is essentially meant to be functional. It is more of a remembrance, a testament, and also a source of knowledge of culture at a given point in time. It is also a testimonial document. Recipes collected by de Silva tell much about their authors. They define their roles as wives and mothers. In addition, the Terezin notes point to a culinary heritage, the religious principles of food preparation and the social and economical conditions that shaped the culinary preferences and the diets of women locked in the ghetto. The article demonstrates that the actions of preparing and consuming food are a constantly repeated practice, which is connected in a network of relationships with other practices. This practice it is anchored in the everyday life, embedded in the family’s biography and fused with childhood memories. Food is presented as a sign of identity, the social bond and the community of family and friends, and also as a gift that serves to uphold these ties.

W artykule omówiony zostaje interdyscyplinarny projekt badawczy (2014–2016) dotyczący dziedzictwa przemysłowego Łodzi, na przykładzie dawnego Monopolu Wódczanego, dzisiaj adaptowanego do nowych funkcji kulturalno-usługowych. Celem badań etnograficznych i archeologicznych było zebranie przekazów ustnych oraz artefaktów, nie tylko dokumentujących historię fabryki, lecz również przedstawiających zawodowe biografie pracowników, czyli osób, których życie splecione było z działalnością przedsiębiorstwa. Dzięki takiemu założeniu, badaczom udało się zrekonstruować przemysłową przeszłość miejsca na podstawie wspomnień, zgromadzonych przedmiotów oraz kwerend archiwalnych. Autorka opisuje ideę, metodologię oraz rezultaty projektu, wykorzystując jako kontekst analityczny pojęcia dziedzictwa przemysłowego i miejskich narracji.

The paper discusses an interdisciplinary research project (2014–2016) concerning the industrial heritage of Łódź, as exemplified by the former Monopol Wódczany, which is today converted for the purposes of new, cultural and service functions. The aim of ethnographic and archaeological activities was to collect oral histories and artefacts, which not only documented the history of the factory, but also presented the professional biographies of its workers, meaning people whose lives had been intertwined with the activity of the company. Thanks to such a research assumption, the researchers were able to reconstruct the industrial past of the place based on memories, artefacts collected, and archive surveys. The Author describes the idea behind the project, its methodology and results, using the notions of industrial heritage and urban narratives as the analytical context.

The article focuses on the project carried out in 2015 in the Mstów commune (Częstochowa district, Silesian Voivodeship), consisting in the installation of information boards in the area (in the landscape) of this Jurassic commune under the common title “Śladami Przeszłości po Gminie Mstów”. The boards, presenting photographs and a short note on the history of a place (today often non-existent or having a different character), were placed in the original locations of objects connected to the local history and heritage. The authors of the project are the Commune Office, “local experts – enthusiasts” and residents. It was them who not only shared their memories (for creating descriptions), but also opened their home archives and made available unique photographs, not available in the official studies. The proposed ethnographic footnote is a commentary to this field exhibition, which has a sightseeing, educational character, preserving the memory of places which existence in social consciousness and the values attributed to them help to maintain the local identity. The concept that organizes and gives context to the considerations is landscape understood as a cultural, social and time construct.

Artykuł poświęcony jest przedsięwzięciu zrealizowanemu w 2015 r. w gminie Mstów (pow. częstochowski, woj. śląskie), polegającemu na zainstalowaniu na terenie (w krajobrazie) tej jurajskiej gminy tablic informacyjnych pod wspólnym tytułem „Śladami Przeszłości po Gminie Mstów”. Tablice, prezentujące fotografie oraz krótką notatkę dotyczącą historii danego miejsca (dziś już często nieistniejącego lub posiadającego inny charakter), ustawione zostały w pierwotnych lokalizacjach obiektów wpisujących się w lokalną historię i dziedzictwo. Twórcami projektu są Urząd Gminy, „lokalni eksperci – pasjonaci” oraz mieszkańcy. To oni nie tylko dzielili się wspomnieniami (stanowiącymi bazę do tworzenia opisów), ale również otwierali swoje domowe archiwa i udostępniali unikatowe, bo niedostępne w tzw. oficjalnych opracowaniach, fotografie. Zaproponowany etnograficzny przypis jest komentarzem do tej terenowej ekspozycji, która służyć ma m.in. celom krajoznawczym, edukacyjnym, zachowaniu pamięci o miejscach, których istnienie w społecznej świadomości i przypisywane im wartości pomagają podtrzymywać lokalną tożsamość. Pojęciem porządkującym i nadającym kontekst rozważaniom jest krajobraz rozumiany jako konstrukt kulturowy, społeczny oraz czasowy.

The palace and park in Nakło were built by Count Kajetan Bystrzanowski in the years 1770–1780. After his death the property was passing from hand to hand, to finally get to the Komorowski family (Matilda, the wife of the successor to the throne of Belgium and Franciszek Starowieyski, a painter, belong to this family). Komorowski managed the assets until the end of The Second World War but then he lost them to the state. For several years, the palace housed an agricultural, technical school and later – to 1989 – an orphanage. Since 2002, Marzenna and Kerth Reyher have been the owners of the building. The theme of the article are the stories, memory and community importance of the palace in Nakło, forming a part of the physical and cultural landscape of the Lelów municipality. The authors show the local narratives which were collected during the ethnographic research on the places especially important for the Lelów community, which are the witnesses and traces of the past. Another aim of the article is to discuss the issues of carvings on trees – forms of material culture that are valuable elements in the processes of reconstructing the events from the past. Their reading and interpretation is important in supplementing the state of knowledge about the places and people associated with them, who left carvings on the trees. Like forgotten stories, carvings also lose their legibility with time, yet remaining a legacy that is difficult to grasp and is transient just like life is. Therefore, it is worth noting while analyzing and restoring the memory about them, the more so as they show the unforced, governing need of the moment, and leaving the historical continuity of correspondence between culture and nature. The palace and park is treated as a place in the anthropological meaning and as an element of the landscape understood in the context of aesthetics, perception, memory and ideology.

In the article, the authors describe the process of archaeologization of selected objects in the local landscape, using examples from five municipalities located in the northern areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland. They look at the processes of persistence or transformation (replacement, revitalization, expansion) and abandonment (destruction, disappearance). The analysis of the collected materials combines the perspectives of archaeology and ethnography/cultural anthropology. It is part of the understanding of landscape as a cultural heritage that runs over time, its form and meaning are fields for negotiation by various entities (local communities, state administration and experts/researchers).
