This article is a report form a study conducted among the students of two universities in Cracow. The objective of the research was to examine whether the students observe elements defined by M. Billing as "banal nationalism" in their everyday space. The author of this paper builds upon a brief analysis of space as an object of interest for sociologists and anthropologists (G. Simmel, E. T. Hall, Yi-Fu Tuan, T. Edensor, M. Augé), showing a dual continuum of the social experience of space, extending from home to not-place. An analysis of answers collected during the research allows to affirm that around 30% of the 100-person group under study distinguishes elements of what is national in their everyday space. Among the subsets of this space mentioned by the respondents, attire was brought up most frequently; next came: dishes and customs related to food consumption, means of transport, youth music, architecture and nature.

The main aim of the article is to present the idea of banal nationalism from the anthropological perspective. Thus, the author shows various examples of nationalist social and cultural practices that seem to be indispensable elements of contemporary postmodern landscapes. However, nationalism is not presented here in its aggressive and common use - it is not related to separatist social movements or radical right-wing political parties. Banal nationalism is rather perceived as a common aspect of 'our' ('Western') everyday life and a specific way of contemporary nation identification. Therefore, the national space is at every turn - to use Michael Billig words - 'flagged' and perceived as 'necessary', 'obvious' and 'natural'. What is more, the anthropological fieldwork the author carried out among international students in Wroclaw shows that even in the times so 'liquid' as ours, it is almost impossible to dispose of the national identity.

The article is a general anthropological survey of the complex issues of Polish diaspora in Norway. The reflections and interpretations are based on the fieldwork conducted by the author among Polish economic immigrants in Oslo during the summer of 2009 for the interdisciplinary academic project CULCOM (‘Cultural Complexity in the New Norway'). The main goal of the fieldwork was to examine the tools for reconstructing the nationhood in immigrants' everyday life, as well as the particular nationalism shaped via social and economic class, gender relations and particular cultural background. The present article, however, focuses only on the first issue. Therefore, it deals with the most banal aspects of immigrants' daily routine which at the first glance seem to be irrelevant and less important. Yet, by using anthropological perspective one may observe that the same daily practices involve various and complex moments of national identification. As a result, the article describes and analyzes the national praxis of Polish immigrant workers living in one of the Oslo districts. What seems to be interesting is the specific process of constructing the hermetic and national space by the immigrants in the context of Norwegian reality. This process, in turn, includes various tools for banal nationalism.
