The paper presents the results of a qualitative study in the lives of people with inadequate functional literacy skills. The data were collected through a biographical interview with a respondent whose characteristics correspond to those of a hypothetical person likely to exhibit signs of low functional literacy. The characteristics, such as gender, age, parental education achievements and job history, of this hypothetical person have been derived from the results of research into adult functional literacy undertaken in the Czech Republic in 1998-International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). The analysis of the qualitative data focuses on three domains of the respondent's life, namely the family life, school years, and the life style. The paper identifies the coping strategies used by the respondent in everyday life.

The focus of the present analysis is to examine if the different stages of family life cycle have any influence on life and family satisfaction and family stress. The family life cycle consists of different stages, for example: a newly married person without children, a parent with child in preschool age or a parent with adult children. Data which we analysed were from ESS (European Social Survey), third round from Slovakia. The results showed the significant differences between family cycle groups in each examining dependent variable. We observed that life and family satisfaction are not uniform during the family life. The highest satisfaction is at the beginning, reported by the newly married individuals. On the other hand, the lowest is in the ‘empty nest’ stage. Family stress is highest in the families with young children (preschool age).

Wacław Potocki was one of the most prolific Polish writers of his era. His numerous works include those overseen by the “domestic muse,” i.e. works devoted to the author’s family or family life in general. The latter group in particular included over 150 texts, usually small, which bear some features of epithalamia (though the name of the genre does not always appear in the titles). When writing them, Potocki used motifs usually present in this type of works. Some epithalamia present, for instance, various stages of nuptials, with the author using typical topoi for such stages, e.g. when presenting a feast, he draws on the motif of a wedding cake (a kołacz or marzipan), making allusions to the wedding night, using hunting associations; and when writing about the transfer, he emphasises (like many other authors), the need for both spouses to be of the same social status. Many of Potocki’s epithalamia were based on a concept drawing on heraldic motifs, which was also part of the “standard repertoire” of works talking about weddings. However, in works combining the poetics of the stemma with epithalamium we can see that the author of Poczet herbów (A Gallery of Coats of Arms), while willingly resorting to typical topoi, managed to maintain originality — he used the nearly pornographic threads of the stemma, though others did not; he also criticised marriage, which was a frequent topic, but not in epithalamia. Thus it turns out that Potocki was able to make use of traditional motifs but could also combine them with motifs untypical for occasional works associated with nuptials.

This article is concerned with consumption, and with ways in which practices. We are particularly interested in ways local preparation and consumption of food may reflect and hence give us insight into ideas and ideologies of tradition and modernity. The material we discuss comes from two former socialist countries, the Czech Republic and Poland. These countries present a particularly interesting field for comparative thinking, as both were part of a particular state-driven modernity project, that of the (post 1945) Soviet Union, and both have had to deal with the failure, and abandonment (post 1989), of that project in favour of another one with very different notions of the modern: western, globally driven, capitalism. So, in some senses, the end of communism has heralded for the people of these countries a shift in understanding of the modern, or of what it means to be modern. For Soviet systems the modern was the plan, represented in scientific socialism's vision of gigantic industrialization, the ambitious collectivization, the regulatory procedures of full (mandatory) employment in exchange for full entitlements to social services. For those living under these systems, however, particularly those in the more ambivalent satellite states such as Czechoslovakia and Poland, there was concurrently a strong emphasis, outside state discourse as well as within it, on tradition. 'Traditional' material culture, practices and ideas operated on at least two levels. On one level, they formed part of the repertoire of the socialist state, in terms of being promoted and sometimes invented in association with the state's claims to legitimacy through evocation of 'pure', even essentialist cultural identities which did not depend on or generate dangerous claims of ethnicity.. On another level, with which we are more concerned in this paper, they were associated with the family, with local identity or belonging, and with the nation. In these latter contexts they frequently served to contest the modernist project associated with external regulation, rules and the machinery of the (intrusive, Soviet directed) state. We focus here particularly on food and consumption as they epitomize changing understandings of what constitutes traditional and modern aesthetics and practices. Any examination of food brings with it at least some consideration of family and kinship. The importance of food in constituting kinship has been demonstrated in many anthropological studies: for example, how kinship is performed through commensality; how generational hierarchy is reflected in the etiquette of meals or more simply in access to or share of food. Food is central in family-life, not only in so-called traditional societies, but also in the Western world; the sharing of food is seen as a key to 'proper family relations' while a perceived evaporation of family meals is portrayed as a threat to the basic structures of society.

The paper offers an analysis of Martin Razus' work 'Argumenty' (Arguments, 1932) and its place in the history of philosophy and ethics in the first half of the 20th century in Slovakia. Razus deals with three basic forms of life: (a) its biological-anthropological form, which is a presupposition and basis of the other two forms: (b) life in the form of a family life; (c) on the top of the development there is the life in the form of a nation or national life. All three forms are penetrated by morality and namely by humanity. Attention is paid also to some ways of understanding life shared by B. Spinoza, E. Fromm and M. Razus.

Tinker´s craft as a door-to-door occupation was formed in the north part of Trenčín County (upper Považie and Kysuce) and later in some villages of northern Spiš. As a specific (non-agricultural) occupation of male population in Kysuce, it is a phenomenon, which influenced traditional culture of the region considerably. It brought some local and regional specifics into relatively uniform character of traditional way of life and thus created new types and variants in the structure of traditional culture. The aim of the paper is to present the impact of tinker´s craft on family and social life in Kysuce region in interwar period.

The article shows the basic trends in the changes of the way of life of people in the Hlučínsko micro-region. The way of life has been defined as a set of rules orienting individual‘s behaviour in events of one's life. A specific tool was designed for the analysis of the modernization of the way of life. The source of the changes of the way of life is the effort of the innovators to fulfil their authentic needs. Giddens` theory of double structuration is used as an explanation of the specific processes of transformation of the way of life allowing to highlighting the role of reflexivity in the transformation of the rules of the way of life. Guided by the principles of the explanatory frame, the empirical analysis has shown the most important processes of modernization of the way of life in Hlučín mikro-region. It is possible to identify them in the following areas – work life, family life and religious life.

This article is dedicated to the issues pertinent to transnational families found in children’s narratives. We seek to shed light on the under-researched area of transnational research on ‘doing family’, which is vital due to the growing number of Polish families settling abroad, deciding on ‘being together’ and choosing a family reunification strategy in their mobility projects. Embedding an entire family in the destination society has profound implications for building and maintaining family ties, also across borders, as well as for changing the shape of the everyday experience of familiality among children of immigrants. We draw a sociological portrait of the migration family, depicting the typical issues of work patterns among the parents (mothers’ and fathers’ jobs), the division of household and care labour, leisure patterns and maintenance of ties with family in Poland. Honing in on these issues facilitates the understanding of how social roles are fulfilled, and how social statuses are attained, both seen through the gender lens. Empirically, the paper is based on the Transfam project’s sub-study entitled Children’s experience of growing up transnationally. This qualitative and participatory inquiry consisted of interviews with children aged 6 to 13, born in Poland and living permanently in Norway. The methodological approach facilitated understanding children as active actors, who perceive and define their social worlds. Children were encouraged and asked to recall their migration experiences, as well as express their views on the work type, meanings, commitments and schedules of their parents.
