The text presents an analysis of the theoretical foundations of the book by Marta Kurkowska-Budzan and Marcin Stasiak "Stadium on the periphery". The use of elements of well-established theory in the design of the indicated research is discussed in detail and - at a later stage - in building a specific historical narrative. The values of binding the theory of social sciences to the interpretation practice of modern historiography are emphasized.
The prime objective of the article is to reconstruct basic assumptions that accompany the historical anthropology practiced by Piotr Kowalski. The last decade of Kowalski’s work is dominated by that type of studies and therefore they form a conceptionally mature construct that combines lifetime experience of that culture researcher. At first, when entering the field of historical anthropology, Kowalski referred to the textbook patterns of studies conducted abroad. However, it was not long that he proposed his own understanding of research problems in the history of culture. He refers to the category of colloquial thinking schemes and the vision of culture as a structured semiotic chaos. His rejection of the culture viewed as a coherent and organized whole dynamizes the model of historical culture that he accepts. What makes one of the expressions of that trend is the accepting the situational definition of cultural experience and organization of the world. In the last years before his death, Piotr Kowalski applies a multi-variant research model, in which philological, folkloristic, and anthropological competences are originally included into the task of identifying alien historical re-constructed worlds. His final image of the research method or a bundle of research methods reflects the motives crucial for his studies, mostly in the sphere of the tension between the standing and the change, repeatability and dynamization, as well as individualization of reading the world in historical cultures. The subject of his last studies is formed by the civilizational process, understood in its widest scope, happening in the space of cultural constructs, and watched by a researcher in the micro- and macroscale at the same time. What makes a crucial historical source for the research presented in that way is a narrative text.
The article is an introduction to the Editors' understanding the relationship between cultural anthropology and history, and thus, the anthropology of history. The "Yearbook of Anthropology of History" is to build a permanent space for the development of cooperation between historiography and cultural anthropology and the corresponding methodologies in the field of multifaceted research on the past and the functioning of its images in human cultures. Magazines will be open to representatives of other disciplines of the humanities, especially literary studies, religiology, philosophy or sociology, which undertake research on the past and its representations in the cultural key.
The editorial raises the problem of the value of the theory of semiotics culture for historical research. It points to the usefulness for historiography of the dynamic variant of the cultural model created by the Moscow-Tartu school of semiotics in the late 1980s. The volume is devoted to the memory of Professor Czesław Robotycki.
The article is an introduction to the volume of RAH. The authors concentrate on the issue of language and representation and the controversy that arises from this: what does the historian, the past reality, or narratives about it really examine? The pretext is the dispute over the book by R. Darnton Great cat massacre...
The authors present results of a study which attempted to use indirect estimation methods (including a method accounting for spatial correlation) to estimate certain characteristics enterprises. The study relied on data from the DG-1 survey conducted by the Statistical Office in Poznan, which provides the basis for most of the short-term indicators used to describe enterprise activity in Poland. The DG-1 survey is a monthly report about economic activity, which collects crucial information about economic entities, their activity, production and stocks. The survey is addressed to enterprises employing over 9 people.

W referacie zostaną przedstawione wyniki badania, w którym podjęto próbę wykorzystania metod estymacji pośredniej (w tym także metody, która uwzględnia korelację przestrzenną) do oszacowania pewnych charakterystyk przedsiębiorstw. W badaniu wykorzystano informacje pochodzące z badania DG–1 prowadzonego przez Urząd Statystyczny w Poznaniu, stanowiącego podstawę do opracowywania większości wskaźników krótkookresowych dotyczących działalności przedsiębiorstw w Polsce. Badanie DG–1 to miesięczny meldunek o działalności gospodarczej, który zawiera najważniejsze informacje dotyczące podmiotów gospodarczych, ich działalności oraz produkcji wyrobów i zapasów. Obejmuje ono swym zasięgiem przedsiębiorstwa, w których liczba pracujących przekracza 9 osób.
