The term 'new settlement' refers to a particular social and cultural phenomenon. It means migration of town and city dwellers to the country in quest for realization of alternative ways of life. Such cases have already become the subject of interest for ethnographers and anthropologists. The problem usually studied is that of mutual relationships between the 'new-settlers' and the village community they come to live in, i.e. relationship between two social groups with different ways of life. The authoress emphasizes another aspect of such situation, namely the inner differentiation of the local community itself, suggesting that the consequences of that differentiation should be taken into account in the research of the subject.The text presented here is the first part of the work. In it she presents and analyzes the case of the village of Lucim - social and artistic experiment realized by a group of town artists who came to live in that village in the second half of the 20th century. In her analysis the authoress includes the artists' motives for moving to the country, the way they perceive the village and its inhabitants and the way they understand their role as organizers of local cultural activities. The history of the 'new settlement' is reconstructed as described by the 'new-settlers' themselves. In the second part to be published in the next issue of 'Etnografia Polska' that history will be completed by the perspective of the villagers. Their views have been expressed in long interviews recorded during the authoress' fieldwork in the years 2003 and 2004.Thus the selected villagers' memory has been 'penetrated' and two perspectives are juxtaposed, resulting in many-sided presentation of the phenomenon.
