The Author has used the most famous polish philosopher's quotation, that it is a peculiar aspect of any sign of life - there are many forces, which are directed into a maintenance, into the keeping process of existing order or other things, which are standing in front of other sources. In our human being's world, these two energies are showed as durability need, security need, being in the well known place, novelty need, change need, curiosity need. These two inclinations have argued with themselves, but they are indispensable both, because of leading of our life. This quote constitutes a journey as a figure of human being's fate, especially it makes a stress and marks two oppositions: nomadic and colonization. Moreover, the next issue concerns on reporter profession as a specific kind of creativity, which is dictated by movement (mobility) and displacement. This creativity was called by Ryszard Kapuscinski, as literature by foot. Main thing is hidden in the middle word - nomadic - which concerns about permanent migratory, traveling around the world and looking for original discoveries, which can be transformed into very valuable record. Author has convinced, that presented record of everyday reporter's life, which wrote Ryszard Kapuscinski shows a special life image; he used an idea of surrealist stream of different associations, which are connected with surprising adjacent. From the next volume, author analyzes fundamental questions - is it possible, that reporter's life is devoid of rooting? Where it can makes its own universe? What consists axis mundi of its world and its omphalos? Or what makes a function in his life and home, as a place where one lives? Some answers gives the analyze of two the most famous polish reporters - Ryszard Kapuscinski and Melchior Wankowicz constitute two different ways of understanding home, as a place in which someone can learn values, cultivates tradition, this is a place which gives patriotic examples or home is a place which presents special kind of need, where rooting is possible. What is more important, these two different ways and treatment of home in Kapuscinski's and Wankowicz's creativity and life, there is one thing common - as the author has confirmed - intensive nomadic life in permanent mobility reminds a way back to home, as the act of special return.

MORTALITY, ACQUISITIVE PRESCRIPTION, INDIGENOUS. CRIPTOTEOLOGY AND CRIPTOANTHROPOLOGY INSIDE JOSÉ SARAMAGO'S NOVELS (Smiertelnosc, zasiedzenie, autochtonizm. Kryptoteologia i kryptoantropologia w powiesciach José Saramago)

In this essay author thesis, that tradition of Judaism and Christian has built and assigned to man metaphysical status of the nomad. As the result, human condition has shown in these categories can not see paradigms which are connected with homestead, rooting, places for live, habitation. As a matter of fact, a place so far called 'homestead' creates only a place for stopover. Moreover 'homestead' seems to be a place for a moment or longer place of acquisitive prescription. Author has convinced, every sign of the homestead is an illusion and truth about human being's situation consists of consternation in the face of spaces immersed in the eternal silence. Perhaps, connection of human being with the idea of the homestead is a specific way of lying self and grow away from death consciousness. That is why, home can be a diaphragm of grave idea. As she confirms, José Saramago's creativity makes possibility for this specific reading, where are presented keys words such as: monotheistic legacy and cryptology constitutes a knowledge about human, but deduced from negative attributes of the God. Author makes a trial and proofs - if we start from point of Judaism and Christian tradition will turn out, that there was no homestead or rooting phenomenon, only illusion. Because the man lived somewhere only till the moment of special call for example as Abraham, who waited till God's call or lived somewhere till the moment of banishment. Homeliness, staying too long, living (or land, family and his father's house from biblical narrative) - all of these belong to the impurity order. There are many parables and stories in the José Saramago's creativity which describe this tragic dimension of the human being condition. It is not only dilemma about man, who became such a loner without right place for live nor outside neither inside, it shows also that every place which constitutes human being existence is a place as every rootedness - contaminated in the irreversible way.

ZWISCHENRÄUME. ZU EINEM MOTIVKOMPLEX IN RILKE ZWEITER “DUINESER ELEGIE” UND DESSEN TRADITION

The article deals with the motif of the “interspace” in Rilke´s second Duino Elegy. It shows its origins in natural philosophy (Lucrez) and cultural history (Herder) as well as its tradition in other literary texts (Jean Paul, Lew Tolstoi, Peter Handke or Joanne K. Rowling). In Rilke´s texts the motif is closely connected to certain geographical places he visited (Egypt, Duino, Venice). It is also affiliated with the legend of St. Alexius, who lived unrecognized beneath the stairs in his parent´s house – an example of the “interspace”, where one can have “great” experiences of transcendence without being over-burned or destroyed by them. Therefore, those “interspaces” are the ideal space for the poetic inspiration and creation.

In this project Jochemczyk's essay stand in constant dialogue with individual consideration about home place. He leads attentive reader across historical levels of his genius loci. Author describes issue using by Jastrzebski's quotation - I leave in strange place, or more - weird home. Sometimes, I hear voices of phantoms roomers, who were settled these walls during the times of communist's prosperity. Author has mentioned about relation, which come from Jastrzebski's memories - people, who lived in this building presented the lowest category of people ever and Silesian (because they constituted neighborhood) if they had chosen to settled down here - they passed for social degenerates. Moreover, nobody does not remember about old residents of the house. Some of them fell into oblivion, some of them still are survives of folklore anecdotes. Above all, every single wake of their human being existence, which was printed on the wall, this curious house lost its pulse. Classical look of unusual building shows softly and sloping underlined roof, marked flat ridges of window nest, which constitute the idea of intimate, sentimental residences (la maison nobiliaire). This vision presents specific combination of dream and java, myth and real existence has modeled anxious route of my herded - days and nights. Regular thumps of hammer, which has forged steel located near the Batory's ironworks. Even in the first years of the twenty century, in the south area of the present Graniczna street were located numerous shafts, there lived the poorest class of residents. What is left - it is a lament, which has deadened pulse of creepy urban building. That is why, its reverberation sounds out in the scores of faded photographs. Author has assured, perhaps my today's house described as house of sand and fog creates in the invariable way - building full of disturbs moments.

THE 'WHERE?' OIKOLOGICAL REFLECTIONS (Gdzie? Rozwazania oikologiczne)

The prolegomenon inquires into the notion of oikology, a term being a compound of the two words 'econony' and 'ecology' with the Greek oikos as their main root. Oikology, meaning 'household studies,' focuses upon such notions as 'home,' 'shelter,' 'place,' 'space,' 'localness,' 'community,' and 'rootedness.' The preliminary part refers to Simone Weil's thoughts on the notion of 'rootedness' (enracinement) which is the human soul's innermost and most familiar, yet not easily definable, need. Therefore, 'rootedness' appears an integral part of any oikological discussion which concerns the house, home, space, and man's surroundings, whereas the human emerges as the one interrelated with that which surrounds him. The house is the sphere which holds the private and the public, the individual and the communal together. Yet it is a multifaceted notion, uncovered as the dwelling-place of man, an inhabited space which joins the human with the world. In oikological terms, the house provides an essential view of the dialectics between a shelter, and its relations to the terrain it is located. Therefore, the house is a dwelling-place of the I and the non-I as the I goes deeper down in his question of the 'where' of his being.

Notions of space and place are often used interchangeably in everyday speech, but they are distinguished both conceptually and historically. When put in relation to space and place, beauty reveals all its vitality and ties to socio-political issues, like: why do we consider a place beautiful and another place ugly? How do taste judgments about places influence planning, tourism, heritage policies, urban, and landscape architecture? I will develop my argument in four points. First, I will shortly pin down the main tenets of a concept of beauty that is inherently spatial, by rephrasing Roger Scruton’s insights on the beautiful and Ed Casey’s notion of ‘implacement’. Second, I will address the interconnection between the modern emergence of a quantitative and objectivist concept of space and a non-relational idea of beauty. Third, I will expose the relationship between the concept of place, idiographic and qualitative, and the emergence of a site-specific, phenomenologically based concept of beauty. In conclusion, I will show how non-relational conceptions of beauty risk to colonize aesthetic experience and I will take a stand for a relational conception of beauty against the risk of standardization of both landscape appreciation and planning.

Increasing share of elderly people in aging population affects all categories of age and social sectors. Society responds to the situation through a necessary change in social area and growing importance of social care for the elderly people. Number of factors determines quality of life in older age, including how they succeed in construction of the new self. Decreased frequency, intensity and diversity of personal interactions often lead to social exclusion. Loneliness is among the most serious concerns in older generation. Deeper levels of a multi-layered selfhood are less affected by the disrupted social construction, which one observes among the older people. It seems that the anchoring of personal identity in place and relationships grows in significance as people age. We investigate construction of selfhood from fragmented memories of people with Alzheimer's disease. Even in conditions of severely affected independence in everyday life we are finding a rich memory, which reflects their personal relationships linked to the places of past. Source observations use a qualitative probe of five clients in a specialized facility for the people living with Alzheimer's disease. We discuss our findings in the context of research focusing on social aspects of aging and the changing meaning of gradually lost memory.

The article presents the critical overview of the most influential conceptual approaches to the issue of territorial identity in contemporary Western sociological thought. The up-to-date conceptual tools and interrelatedness between major terms, such as space, place, territory, are analyzed. By comparing basic statements of the two key theories of identity - sociological and socio-psychological ones - the author attempts to elucidate their heuristic potentialities for the study of territorial identities. The paper discusses some other specific conceptions advanced by Western scholars in order to conceive the phenomenon of the person's interaction with geographical and socio-cultural space. Special attention is given to the theory of place identity and concept of imagined communities. Finally, within the framework of the two paradigmatic models of identity in contemporary sociology - substantial and constructivist - the author distinguishes those characteristics which have a considerable cognitive potential and tries to come to the theoretical synthesis.

The paper offers an overview of the work of Edward S. Casey focusing on his phenomenological approach to peripheral and interconnected phenomena such as place and glance. Casey shows how the glance enters the world as well as how the world responds to it. Focusing on glance therefore reveals a possible articulation of how the place becomes a phenomenon within a specific mode of perception and why it deserves a phenomenological approach.

High-rise housing settlements are an integral part of every city in the post-socialist area of Eastern Europe. These prefabricated urbanity wholes, of varying extent, have been taking on a very interesting and distinctive character in the context of the political, economic and social changes of recent years. The author´s principal interest, however, is not in the actual changes in the character of the settlements and how to describe them, but rather in how these changes are reflected in the utterances of those directly involved. In this study, based on narrative biographical interviews with inhabitants of the Stodůlky settlement in Prague, he attempts to interpret how these dynamic changes are reflected on the narrators’ side. The primary focus of interest is therefore the conceptualisation of changes in the relationship to the settlement as home (Svašek, 2002), in the context of roughly the past thirty years. Theoretically he takes his premises from the anthropological concepts differentiating place and space (Hirsch, 1995; De Certeau, 1984), where these two ideas are conceived as two distinct dimensions of the perception of spatiality. Place functions as a category related to everyday perception. Space is more an impersonal structure leading beyond the plane of the everyday. Based on this differentiation, the author will consider how the settlement appears in narration, and how place and space relate to the time dimension in the settlement’s evolution. The narrators show a tendency to categorise the settlement “history”. This schematisation again reveals a further interesting level, stemming from narrative re-actualisation of the personal past in the locality being examined
