The presented article aims on introducing the pre-conditions, existing state and perspectives for further development of professional ethnic theatres in Slovakia and Ukraine. Theatres, and its ethnic representations, are the most cultivated and most moderate forms of political and civic engagement. This study is an insight into the legislative norms determining the conditions and possibilities for the functioning of ethnics professional theatre groups. This insight is based on the norms of EU, the Constitution of SR and UA, and individual legal norms on the level of local public administration. The study also describes how the funding mechanism of these theatres works.

This article uses the ideas put forth by Hill and Gaddy in their book “Siberian Curse” to discuss the stages of colonization of the European north of Russia. Discussing different components of the colonization process, the authors argue that the initial colonization of this region could not have been carried out earlier than the Neolithic, because in their understanding settlement is the economic development of the territory, and therefore the first attempts to penetrate the primitive collectives to the North cannot be interpreted as either the initial settlement or the initial development. It also refutes the assertion that the colonization of the European north basically ended by the end of the 19th century. It is argued that the ‘Stalinist industrialization’ in the North cannot be regarded as a modernization process, but it is logical to consider it as the next stage of colonization – penal colonization. An analysis of modern social processes in the European North suggests that the processes of colonization retreat are becoming a sustainable development trend in the regions of the European North.

The article discusses the situation of Kashubians in Poland against modern globalisation processes. The Kashubian language, identified as one of the basic elements of identity and the foundation of the culture of this group is gradually disappearing, particularly as the everyday means of communication. Reluctance of the young generation to speak the language and the diminishing role of the family as the enculturation group are among the main reasons for this. On the other hand, an opposite trend is observed, namely revitalisation of the Kashubian language in the public space, which is accompanied by the strengthening of its legal status and its recognition as the regional language, having the status of an auxiliary official language. The regional artistic creativity is also an important element of the Kashubian identity. Today pride of one's own cultural heritage, promoted by the local press, television, radio, Internet, cultural events, organisations and institutions, is a significant factor contributing to and strengthening the identity. The author shows how the processes that strengthen the Kashubian identity overlap globalisation phenomena. She presents Kashubia as a region whose inhabitants look for equilibrium between globalisation trends and retention of their ethnoregional uniqueness.

The article focuses on endogamy marriages in traditional culture. Attention is given to particular local and spatial aspects of this phenomenon. The aim is to find out what types of group identification were in choosing a partner considered essential, how was perceived marriage with "foreign", and what forms and means was used by the local community to ensure the desired behaviour. The results point to the fact that the identification of local, spatially defined and bounded group is considered significant. The perception, however, is dependent primarily on the opportunities and the ability to move in space and cross group boundaries. In terms of historical development is seen constantly enlarging and expanding the space, which is attributed to a group referred as "our". The spatial dimension of group membership is not an end in itself, is intertwined with cultural and social diversity groups. The choice of partners from local, religiously, ethnically and socially equal groups is generally perceived as a model, conditioned by local or situational requirements. Compliance with this mode is provides by a wide range of means. His expression is also found in folk customs and is stored by intergenerational transmitting.

The article is devoted to the analysis of tolerance and xenophobia of the Ukrainians of the Trans-Carpathian region towards some ethnic groups. Based on the opinion polls conducted according to Bogardus method of measuring of social distance, the author analysed the attitude to the Russian speaking Ukrainians, the Hungarians, the Romanians, the Russians, the Roma, the Slovaks, the Jews, the Americans and the Hindus. The survey results indicate that the Ukrainians of the Trans-Carpathian region mostly demonstrate their tolerance towards the Slovaks, the Americans and the Russian-speaking Ukrainians. The social distance to the Hungarians, the Romanians, the Jews and the Hindus can be characterised as alienation. There is an openly xenophobic attitude towards the Russians and the Roma people.

The paper deals with the various factors involved in, and the consequences of, conceptualizing refugees. The paper is based on empirical data from the field research in Gabcikovo, where there had been a refugee camp. The author focuses on historical, social, cultural and political factors to explain how people conceptualize a refugee and how these factors interact with ethnic and racial essentialist representation. One of the factors shown by the author is the ethnic and racial classification of refugees. The main aim was to show that there are several factors constituting the concept of refugee. Liminality of refugees is discussed and the consequences of such a conceptualization are shown in this paper.

The space of dynamic political and cultural Europe and the period of two centuries, having in mind the period between late 18th century and early 20th century, are a favourable background for the constitution and transformations of the term Slavdom, specification and differentiation of the thesis the idea of Slavdom as well as for a different practice of Slavic mutuality as a complex and contradictory. At the same time, it refers to the differentiated expressions of the phenomenon which was going on individually (nation) or collectively within the set of identification (ethnic, national, cultural, etc.) and emancipation movements. As a matter of fact, they have their genesis in a cultural intention and result in a political practice of that age. Between the thesis and its realization even with the Slavic mutuality it is a priori necessary to take into consideration national or “time” differences.

Przez termin „pogranicze” autor rozumie zjawisko społeczne, w ramach którego ludzie z obu stron lub z kilku stron różnie zresztą rozumianych granic wchodzą ze sobą w kontakt. Granica jako linia wykreślona na mapie i wytyczona w przestrzeni nie jest konieczna dla istnienia pogranicza. Z kolei nawet w wypadku formalnie wytyczonej granicy można dokładać wysiłków dla likwidacji sytuacji pogranicza. Komunizm starał się, by umocniona i dobrze strzeżona granica nie dopuszczała do kontaktów ludzi w obszarze jej bliskim. Na obszarach pogranicza tworzyła się kultura synkretyczna – choć pytanie oczywiście w jakim stopniu i w jakich dziedzinach życia. O niektórych ludziach można mówić jako o ludziach pogranicza. Częste w dziejach dyskusje o przynależności ludzi zapamiętanych przez historię jako wielcy dotyczą często ludzi z pogranicza. Obszary pogranicza nieraz bywają terenami konfl iktów, zaś ludzie tam żyjący bądź z takich terenów wywodzący się maja nieraz ciężki los. Jednocześnie w wielu wypadkach kształtowali się jako ludzie twórczy i oryginalni.

By borderlands, the author means social phenomena where people from both sides of the variously understood boundary come into contact with each other. Boundary as a line dividing space is not necessary for the borderland to exist. In the case of a formal boundary, very oft en attempts were made to impede the emergence of borderlands. Such was the case during communism with its fortifi ed and guarded border which prevented people on both sides to get into contact with one another. In borderlands, culture had a syncretic nature – although we need to ask how and in what aspects of life. We sometimes refer to some of its inhabitants as people of the borderlands. Th e oft en lead discussions about belonging of certain historical fi gures stems from the fact that they were oft en such people. At the same time borderlands sometimes are the terrains of confl icts, and people who live there suff er for it.
