The subject of the article concerns the issues of the relationships between the living and the dead presented in the context of funeral rites and beliefs concerning 'the ultimate moment'. The discussed rites and beliefs concern mainly those of the dead who died unnatural death. The authoress distinguishes two categories of the 'not-loved departed' whom she calls 'the undesired' and 'unworthy'. She gives examples of unconventional attitudes and behaviour taken from folk tales and literature. At the end of her consideration she discusses the case of 'body worlds' - the exposition of 'plastinates' by dr Günter von Hagens.

'I AM HUNGRY'. SPACE AS A CONTEXT FOR EVERYDAY EVENTS

The problem discussed in the article concerns the manifestations of poverty in the space of a modern town, which is a peculiar stage for the everyday events played on it. The text consists of three parts. The first part is about the multi-functional importance of the town centre for cultural, social and political life of the inhabitants. The second part presents the background and motivations for the decision to 'take to the streets' in order to get some food and money, and describes the attitudes and behaviours of 'our own' and 'foreign' beggars. These problems have been discussed at the background of a short historical description of beggary. The third party of the article discusses the cultural symbiosis between people and the space of the town centre in the situation of socio-economic destabilisation, which is the result of system changes.
