Tadeusz Garbowski, a professor of zoology and philosophy at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and an evolutionist, was a representative of neo-Darwinism. He maintained that both genetic and environmental factors have influence on the characteristics of the living organisms and that natural selection, sexual selection and geographical isolation of the population are the main mechanisms of evolution. He was convinced that all living organisms share a common origin. He also claimed that the somatic and psychic phenomena have identical biological nature, and the division of the body and soul is theoretical only. Accepting the principle of methodological naturalism, he explained natural phenomena by natural factors, however he was not an ontological monist. Evolutionary vision of the natural world led him to an ecological approach to zoology, to develop foundations of the new science - psychogenetic and of the new philosophical system - homogenism.

Censorship activities on the 19th century book publishing market in Cracow have been and are of interests to many historians and library scientists. It is sufficient to mention the names of T. Gutkowski, J. Bieniarzowna, B. Szyndler or A. Aleksiewicz. These studies show both dependency of the book and press publishers on censorship injunctions and problems with distribution of texts coming from official and clandestine book trade. In Cracow, restrictions forced by censorship were evolving reflecting changes in policy of invaders. An important event was the establishment in 1831 of the Committee of Censorship with its activities based upon their Austrian origins. When analyzing contemporary problems of publishers and booksellers or depicting censorship in the context of social life of the city, one can not ignore Ambrozy Grabowski - historian and art collector, lover of national memorabilia, but also writer and publisher, bookseller and antiquarian, astute observer of life. His relationship with censors concerned both his writing, publishing and bookselling. Preserved sources show his relation to the contemporary system of censorship on all these levels. This article analyzes censorship interference in author's writings by Grabowski as well as interference in his bookselling work associated with illegal distribution of emigration prints, among others by: A. Mickiewicz, J. Lelewel, M. Mochnacki or H. F. de Lamennais. Grabowski's work was interrupted by search of his bookstore conducted in 1836 resulting in his trial. In his notes, he frequently referenced to the problem of censorship in Cracow - describing people and events associated with those practices. All of this makes it worthwhile to learn more about relationship of this figure with local censorship over many years and on several levels mentioned here.

We sought to identify the level, structure and main features of incentive tourism in Krakow in 2008 and 2009. The analysis was prepared on the basis of Polish and English literature and the results of the authors’ own research. Ordered by the Tourism Marketing Office of the Krakow Municipality, the research was conducted by researchers from the Department of Tourism at the Cracow University of Economics from June through September, 2009. The research concerned a part of business tourism, called MICE, an acronym for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events. As stated above, this analysis focuses only on incentives. Those surveyed for the research were owners of venues with the facilities for MICE tourism. The sample covered the general population and consisted of 240 units. The survey return rate was 50.42%. The number of incentive trips, their seasonality, duration and location in different venues in Krakow were determined and identified. The number of participants was estimated, with foreigners and their countries of origin identified. The identification of the institutional profile of clients ordering incentive trips in Krakow is also presented. The structure of revenues of venues hosting motivation events was also assessed.

The following article examines the issues of legal and social regulation of pornography from the standpoint of the Cracovian press control body between 1918 and 1939. The emphasis is put primarily on the legislative restrictions in the visual and literary presentation of nudeness, as well as sexuality in the text, drawing or reproduction. The author refrains from judging past legislative and juridical solutions in this field. The article focuses on presenting and classifying the research materials, based on their form, content and the communication. The major aim of the article is thus a historic reconstruction of the Cracovian censorship actions. This concerns the regulation of the publishing houses' market which were accused of pornography. Moreover, the author defines the size of this market and indicates the reasons, why the publishing houses were subjected to restrictions. The activity forms of Cracow municipals and Cracovian censorship are also categorised in the article. Apart from the legal forms of restrictions such as: inspections, routine controls, confiscations and seizures of erotic publications, some other non-formal limitation trials could have been registered. These were initiated by the Catholic Church, various unions, associations as well as citizens themselves.

(Polish title: Redaktora Ludwika Gumplowicza potyczki z krakowska C. K. Prokuratoria Panstwa (1869-1871). Przyczynek do dziejow cenzury w Galicji autonomicznej). Ludwik Gumplowicz became an editor of Kraj in Krakow in October 1869 and soon he had the first contact with the watchful Austrian censorship. The articles which promoted national independence within the federation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, criticized the authorities or the army, or which had the liberal tone, made the Krakow office of the State Attorney take some measures. Although the constitution, the press law (passed in 1862) and its liberal amendments (1868), along with two press control acts from March 1869 guaranteed the freedom of speech, the state officials were still quite oppressive. Gumplowicz was an anticlerical who criticized fiercely the political and social status quo in Krakow and was rejected by the conservative elites of Krakow. As a result some of his newspaper's issues were confiscated and he went to court to demand compensations. He was frequently accused of breaking the law after publishing uncompromising articles in his newspaper but, in most cases, he was acquitted. In his court battles he showed his oratorical talent and anti-loyalist fierceness and used his legal education and experience as well (he studied law and worked as a solicitor). In the article we are trying to analyse the political significance of the incriminated articles and, by studying the court archives, examine how the court worked, and the law was executed, what were the motives of the legal action against Gumplowicz and how he defended himself in court.

When I came to Krakow for the first time several years ago and tried to get some information about the Jewish Krakow, among the first-hand information I was offered in the bookshops were a few small booklets with legends about the Jews in this town. This is nothing special, for wherever one goes as a tourist one gets the same genre of literature: local legends and tales. It seems, therefore, that the popular legends indeed offer the first-hand information about the specific climate and the self-estimation of the inhabitants at a specific place. It is obviously the tales of a city that infuse life to its stones and places more than all exact historical data one can gather. The legend gives, so to speak, a short-hand résumé of the most typical and central features as well as the spirit of a place.

The problem of origins of early modern personality patterns has been a research field for historians, historians of Polish literature and pedagogy for long time already. A history of a raise and a fall of social, economic and political career of the Zborowski's family from Malopolska still provides some controversies, what is the reason of not getting into consideration the context of their public activity: political situation in Commonwealth of Poland. Despite the huge amount of written sources, characteristics of Marcin Zborowski, castellan of Krakow, and his five sons: Piotr, Jan, Andrzej, Krzysztof and Samuel, are still biased with stereotypes of 'an admiration of a looser' or 'a negation of a career'. In case of Zborowskis as 'great victors', and afterwards - 'great losers', there can be found visible traces to common education and nobles' way of thinking in 16th century, results of defeating reformation, as well as long term being in a political opposition to the throne. An everyday life shown quite often a divergence between an ideology and a reality, although many people in 16th century tried to remember about the commonly esteemed patterns of behaviour. Those were situated in the tradition of the family, but the most basic source of a knowledge about them were: religion, education, and good breeding. Zborowskis' activity, although controversial in many points, was quite typical for nobility. Different noble families tried to maximise their advantages that might result from the end of Jagiellonian House and a change on the throne, what very often determined a collision of law and morality, and wide use of a demagogy and a propaganda. Despite the differences in personalities, Zborowskis remained in a mainstream of values of a historical period. Reading pro- or contra- stories may nevertheless lead to creation of black-and-white vision of a past, while reality is commonly different, far from perfection and its contradiction, but influenced by popular patterns of behaviour. An explanation of a behaviour, especially controversial or blameworthy from present point of view, can facilitate knowing the historical period.

This study contributes the new research exploring cases of collaboration with the German authorities and the phenomenon of delators (denouncers), informers and agents in occupied Krakow, as well as letters of denunciation. Cases linked to the blackmailing at the beginning of World War II of Jews, and as the war continued of colleagues and neighbours working for the resistance and of disliked relatives and in-laws are also taken into account. Letters written by Krakow inhabitants – some anonymous, others signed – are appraised for information contained therein on political, racial, economic, social and financial matters. The article also describes the activities of the Polish resistance against collaborators and the post-war settling of scores through the Krakow Special Criminal Court in the early post-war years.

Tis article discusses the question of the reconstruction of social memory in Polish cities. To illustrate this process the author decided to employ a comparative approach and analyzed this process in two Polish cities: Krakow and Wroclaw. Te case selection was directed by their comparable population size and their importance as cultural and scientifc centres. As far as diferences between the three are concerned, their demographic reproduction patterns are substantially distinct. Krakow has preserved and reproduced its traditional bourgeois character, whereas Wroclaw serves as a typical example of a post-migrant city with an entirely reconstructed identity because of the post-World War II population shifs. Despite their multiethnic composition and heritage, in the formative period for contemporary collective identities in the 19th century these cities built their identities solely with relation to symbolically homogenous contexts (Polish in Krakow and German in Wroclaw). Tese nationally homogeneous discourses were even strengthened during the postwar period and continued long afer WWII. Te breakthrough came with the collapse of communism. Te inhabitants of the cities regained a possibility of social agency and by this token a chance for building new identities. However, these processes did not start from scratch. Tey were determined by existing social and cultural structures which imprinted their particular patterns on their new developments.

In the area of loess uplands in Krakow region, particularly in the light of recent discoveries preceding big road investments, the size and organization of settlements of the Mierzanowice culture seem to be much diversified. The analysis of Mierzanowice culture settlements examined on a large scale shows a great diversity of forms in settlement organization lacking one specific spatial layout pattern. Those differences are not dependent on chronology. The sizes of settlements are diversified – from single farmsteads to organized multi-farmstead structures. Farmsteads can be represented not only by one cellar/pit but also by a few or dozen of objects.

(Polish title: Kilka uwag o witrazach projektu Stanislawa Wyspianskiego i Jozefa Mehoffera w oknie zachodnim kosciola Mariackiego w Krakowie). The stained glass designs by Jozef Mehoffer and Stanislaw Wyspianski for the western window of St. Mary's Church in Krakow have been the subject of extensive research. However, the question of the authorship of individual panels has not been answered yet. On the basis of a remark made by Wyspianski in a letter to his uncle Stankiewicz it can be stated with certainty that the whole left (southern) half of the window was based on Wyspianski's concept. Wyspianski was also the author of the designs for the panels in the tracery. Apart from the answering the attribution questions, the articles discusses also the circumstances in which the designs and the glazings for the western windows were made in the context of the major renovation St. Mary's Church was undergoing in the late 19th century. It also discusses the ideological and artistic questions connected with this set of designs, including the allusions to Veit Stoss sculpture and French art.

The article takes a closer look at the artistic life in Krakow at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Activities of the artists, led by Stanislaw Przybyszewski, and all in the social-café-salon life make it possible to distinguish a completely new kind of bohemianism: exquisite, noble and even aristocratic. Krakow Bohemians comprised of the very elite of the cultural life: renowned artists – mainly professors of the Academy of Fine Arts – prominent actors, talented writers and poets, influential critics. A time of the triumph of the bohemian circle coincided with the era of major exhibitions, shown not only in Krakow, but also in Vienna. Though initially shocking the Galician bourgeois mentality, with time bohemians became more and more influential, promoting a new style and created, at the end Polish modernism.
