The article focuses on selected aspects of transnational entrepreneurship, understood in terms of actions that go beyond national borders and lead to long-lasting innovations in sociotechnical spaces. These considerations rest on the ethnographic research conducted in years 2013–2016 in a globally oriented company situated in south-western Poland. While exploring the issue, the author moves between diff erent scales of analysis: from the macro-level of the postsocialist state, through the global infrastructure of neoliberal politics, to the specific working environment and the regional context. The adopted strategy of shifting perspectives is applied in order to point to the larger political, historical and economic contexts in which specific places are embedded and which influence the trajectories of lives of employees of global enterprises.

This paper discusses the issues of cooperation and mutual assistance with regard to the theory of exchange as proposed by Marcel Mauss, Bronislaw Malinowski and Claude Lévi-Strauss. In this approach, exchange is a universal phenomenon of social life. Principles of reciprocity (do, ut des) and balance of services are viewed in the context of everyday life. The analysis presented is based on qualitative ethnographic research carried out in the Silesian Beskid at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The present-day role of the analysed forms of social activity, the rules governing their implementation, and the social consequences of their changes over time are discussed.

This study is a theoretic analysis of lives and works of three Czech travellers - Enrique Stanko Vráz, Alberto Vojtěch Frič and Josef Kořenský. These pioneers of the nascent social and cultural anthropology found themselves on the boundary of different civilizations and were among the first white men who set their foot on the exotic world of “the others”. With their travels, vividly described in their literal work, they not only did an extraordinary job when gathering authentic ethnographic material in the form of literature, photographs and exotic artefacts in Czech cultural context, but they also deconstructed the doctrine of Eurocentrism. The study focuses mainly on their literal heritage and their desire to describe, understand and interpret a different cultural reality. Works of these travellers represent original effort to integrate collecting, observing and research intentions. The study presents their travel books as a specific gnoseologic tool enabling to analyse their field findings ranging from the description to the comparison and interpretation of the exoticism and unknown socio-cultural reality. The study also points out the fact that the travellers transformed the different in their books into a cultural construction created within the author’s personality and his own civilization. Through the strange and different, the travellers thus gave rise to an authentic and complex picture of a different and unknown world including, however, also the author’s own description and interpretation of different forms of cultural reality. This study also aspires to prove that the works of these travellers represent their different personal approaches to perception of cultural boundaries and to their studies of different ethnicities and nations.

Traditional transport represents an important field of research on material and nonmaterial culture. However, before 1945, traditional transport did not receive appropriate attention by Czech and Slovak ethnology. Partial information on transport can be found mainly in regional geographical publications, as well as in the ethnographic works by Lubor Niederle and Karel Chotek, or in texts dealing with agrarian topics. The situation considerably changed after 1945. A new generation of researchers was born, who paid special attention to transport topics. In the 1950s, these topics were addressed in the works of Ludvík Baran, Josef Voráček and Jaroslav Kramařík, and in the research conducted by Vladimír Scheufler and Václav Šolc. As for the period of the 1960s and 1970s, we can mention, for example, Ján Podolák, Magdaléna Paríková, Miroslav Anton Huska, Richard Jeřábek, Karel Fojtík and others. Ethnography as a discipline, or rather a method today, offers, unlike other humanities, a completely different view of this theme. In addition, each researcher chose a different approach and methodology. The ethnographic publications on traditional transport, which were produced in the second half of the 20th century, still represent an important source of information even for present-day researchers dealing with this topic. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of the ethnographic study of traditional transport in the Czech and Slovak lands with an emphasis on the period 1945–1989 and to highlight the importance and the possibilities of the present-day study of this field.
