For diasporic communities like Polonia, globally dispersed across space and time, the World Wide Web and electronically mediated forms of communication are ways of manifesting their presence and identity in the global context providing at the same time an anchor with the homeland. Tis article tracks the cyber-presence of Polonia on the World Wide Web and documents inreach sites focused on local communities and outreach sites geared at establishing links with the homeland and historical contexts. It also explores issues connectedwith marginalized Polonia communities (i.e. the digital underclass) which lack economic resources to fully participate in contemporary cyberculture.

This paper focuses on two example texts from the Mexican exile of Pere Calders and Max Aub: L'ombra de l'atzavara and De cómo Julián Calvo se arruinó por segunda vez. Based on the semiotics of space of Jurij Lotman, it will be shown how the characters of the selected texts reconstruct and reinvent their home country through the creation of a new space in the host land. This space will create the illusion of their idealised homeland.

The life beyond the borders of mother land brings a lot of changes. It changes identities of the individual persons, the way of identification with their own home and constructions of its meanings. In this paper the author deals with analysing the home meanings of Slovak women migrants living in ethnically mixed marriages in London. By analysis of research data gathered from interviews with respondents she outlines how ideas about home have shaped during their migration process. In the traditional sense home is understood as territorial place. Currently, for which migration is a reality, the emerging awareness about new global facts, which influence perceptions of home of migrants uprooted from mother homeland. This awareness is built on de-territorial basis, through the memories and those places that migrants currently do not or cannot inhabit. The aim of her contribution will uncover the essential internal mechanisms which are activated by creating images of home of her respondents and their imaginations connected with coming back to their mother land.

We live in the times when identification with one's nation, state or local region plays a particularly significant role since the transmission of cultural heritage conditions the preservation of culture. At present it can be observed that cultural heritage should be understood above all in the categories of history, that is the story of previous generations, living tradition, folklore, language, cultural benefits as well as achievements manifested both in terms of remains, monuments as well as oral history. The concept of homeland or home country is of particular importance. Homeland is a concept which has two meanings: one used in reference to the area which is significant for individuals or groups (nations) defined as the place of one's birth and the place where one has lived over a major part of one's life, and the second applying to the place from which one's ancestors of family members come. In numerous considerations the concept of region is usually defined as a specific territory inhabited by people who share unique history. Unfortunately the specific character of the area discussed in this presentation (Lower Silesia and the Lubuskie Province) rules out this understanding of the concept of region. We do acknowledge the existence of the administrative region, and as such it is known as the Lubuskie Province, yet this does not mean that the area is homogenous in terms of history, politics, language or culture. At the same time the region is often treated as a part of Lower Silesia. The complicated history as well as numerous divisions resulting in the fact that various parts of the Lubuskie Province were located on the territories of different countries makes it impossible to treat this area as a homogenous structure both from the historical as well as cultural points of view. In fact we deal with borderland areas on which Polish, Lusatian, Czech, Hungarian, Saxon and Branderburgian influences can be traced. Over the last fifty years, the region has established its position in the social consciousness as the area extending from the north edge of the Dolnoslaskie Forests to the Mysliborskie Lake District and from the line of the Nysa and Odra rivers to the Zbaszynskie Lake District. The territory is far from being homogenous in terms of its population and history. It is frequently referred to as borderland area. On the other hand it is frequently classified as part of Lower Silesia, a region with strong historical roots. Yet migrations of people and changes in the course of borders after World War II influenced the current character of this land. Contemporary people feel lost; sometimes find it difficult to identify themselves with their immediate environment. This becomes particularly difficult since it is difficult to talk about any form of historical cohesion in this area. On the other hand it is difficult to talk of any roots with no reference to history, geography, ethnicity or culture. While joining particular communities, people enter into direct contacts with others and if they do not understand or do not accept those elements of culture which convey specific values, they find it difficult to identify themselves with the region, do no treat it as their homeland

The article explores the strategies of practicing “Belarusianness” in the context of migration - by Belarusians who settled in Poland with their children. It is based on empirical research concerning the biographical context of their life situation, conducted using semi-structured in-depth interviews and casual conversations. As “Belarusianness” I define a range of criteria which influence the identity of the interviewees and which imply a sense of national distinctiveness. Another analysed aspect is the parenting strategies of the interviewees in view of their emigration to Poland, and how they influence the identity formation of second generation migrants, i.e. their children.

In the second half of last century the literary criticism has produced a large number of studies about the literary space. Even today many scholars of literature, applying various lines of research, demonstrate that the space, as it wrote Janusz Slawinski at the end of seventies of last century, “is not simply one of the components of the reality of representation, but is the semantic crux of the text and of all its internal order.' This article - through analysis of the spatial structure of the tale “Przeprowadzka' by the polish writer Paweł Huelle, and particularly through the study of the relationship between space, time and others narrative elements such as setting, plot and characters - shows the attempt implemented by narrator to recover the lost space of memory. The narrative of Paweł Huelle represents one of the most prolific and topical trends of Polish fiction in the last twenty years, which tries to redefine the Polish values in a more open and modern view, whereby culture means above all exchange, mediation and transformation. The house of the tale, as well as his large garden dotted with the ruins of Great Germany, embodies the modern concept of the homeland spreading recently in European society, that is homeland as a place that is no longer just the land of fathers, but a space of a complex and layered identity, maybe conflictual and neurotic, but also conscious of its richness and diversity.

Based on the research carried out among Gottscheers (Gottschee Germans) living in the USA, Canada, Austria and Germany, the article presents the social and symbolic meaning of the places the Gottscheers identify with and that influence their life as emigrants. These places are: the old country – Gottschee (Kočevska region) and the places that are important for the (re)production of their traditions in their new countries. The article also describes the meaning of rituals, including pilgrimages to the old homeland and meetings in their new countries for strengthening their feeling of belonging to a group within the country of residence, and for the transnational connections between the Gottscheers from the mentioned countries and with the old homeland. The article concludes that the survival of the diaspora depends largely on its ability to maintain its culture and traditions through ritual practices at various locations outside the home country.

In their writings the great Polish Romantics, Mickiewicz and Słowacki, first of all tackled the question of Poland’s independence and democratic transformations that were to achieve that objective. They distrusted the economic and civilisational changes taking place in western Europe and stressed Poland’s uniqueness, its distinctiveness when compared with the rest of Europe. In developing the views of Mickiewicz as the author of Konfederaci barscy, Słowacki particularly glorified the so-called gentry democracy and advocated a vision of Poland as a homeland chosen by God and made a guiding star for peoples on their way to liberation from the bondage of the Holy Alliance. Both poets were adherents of Jagiellonian Poland, a Poland of three nations and it was through such Poland that they imagined the future of Europe. Norwid wrote in conscious opposition to the “giants,” at the same time regarding himself as their successors in national leadership. What mattered for him first of all were Poles the citizens, less so Poles the patriots. His concept of “citizenship” was far removed from noblemen’s sarmatism (and the notion that “a nobleman’s home is his castle” or that there is no man that a nobleman would think of as a superior) and close to Enlightenment views on the matter. For him, too, Poland was a chosen nation but under the law of salvation covering the entire Christian Europe. Poland’s role in Europe was measured only by Poland’s contribution to a European community, like Jan III Sobieski’s relief of Vienna. It was to this community that Poland owed its identity. Our homeland was based primarily on Judeo-Christian and ancient traditions, and these traditions — linked first of all to ancient and Christian Rome — were to be the dominant traditions for us. Norwid was opposed to the idea of Poland’s leading role in the transformation of the world and he saw our homeland as part of a future united Europe of equal, democratic nations.

This article concerns the problem of searching for the true home(land) by one of the greatest poets and writers of the German Modernism,  Rainer Maria Rilke and its reflection in his earliest and most famous works: “The Sacrifice of the Lares” (1895), “The Book of Hours” (1899) and “The stories of God” (1900).  It shows the long way of an eternal pilgrim, who tries to find his true home. After leaving Prague, together with his great love Lou-Andreas Salomé he undertakes two extensive trips to Russia in 1899 and 1900, impressed by the deep and mystical relationship between the ordinary people and their land as well as God. He is convinced that he has finally found his true home in the untouched nature of Russia
