This article is a report form a study conducted among the students of two universities in Cracow. The objective of the research was to examine whether the students observe elements defined by M. Billing as "banal nationalism" in their everyday space. The author of this paper builds upon a brief analysis of space as an object of interest for sociologists and anthropologists (G. Simmel, E. T. Hall, Yi-Fu Tuan, T. Edensor, M. Augé), showing a dual continuum of the social experience of space, extending from home to not-place. An analysis of answers collected during the research allows to affirm that around 30% of the 100-person group under study distinguishes elements of what is national in their everyday space. Among the subsets of this space mentioned by the respondents, attire was brought up most frequently; next came: dishes and customs related to food consumption, means of transport, youth music, architecture and nature.

The article provides sociological analysis of time and space (space-time) and their relations to developmental changes in a rather unusual autobiographical context. In social science, the phenomenon of social space and time is highlighted mainly in the context of themes such as environment, technological development, or changes in social space. The article is based on the historical perspective which enables us to understand better the current modes of using and changing social spaces - human settlements and regions in particular. The author reflects on changes in social space, focusing on the issues of social interactions, urban space, second literacy, cyberspace, and communicative simultaneity. These are discussed in relation to both the global economic crisis and specific Slovak conditions.

Three years ago János Farkas wrote two papers for this periodical in which he explored the theoretical issues of social space and the measuring possibilities with great skill. In my present paper I would refer to Farkas' work by which he has laid down the theoretical as well as practical milestones of research into space in Hungary. At first I am going to deal with the concept of space in general, and would attempt at considering the results of theoretical research of the past five years, naturally without being able to present even approximately the literature that has swollen enormously even since that time. At first I am going to follow with attention the changes of the concept of physical space, in order to reach the study of the role of space in social science. In this context the opinion of seven chosen authors would be explored with some brief critical commentaries. The relationship between body and space is re-interpreted in post-modern, in keeping with the principles of the new corporeality, partly as a metaphor in the study of social development, and partly because it has become a key concept of the new life sciences. I shall dwell upon the definition of space by urban sociology, on the significance of the urban periphery, before defining the role of core and periphery concerning space. Our society is changing also regionally and it accompanies global development. The question is put as to what social space construction is taking place in the region? My paper concludes by outlining the sociology of space of systems theory. I study the manifestations of the concept of space in the three basic systems of interaction, organisation and global society.

Peripheral regions are most often described in terms of economic geography. However, this study stresses more the sociological aspects of peripheries, studying not only the causes, but also the social effects of life in peripheral regions. The authors use the term 'inner peripheries' because most of the peripheral regions detected in their analyses are located in the inner parts of the country, mainly along the borders of the administrative regions (kraje). Their approach combines the concept of the life world (espace vecu) as defined by A. Fremont and A. Giddens when describing the social and cultural consequences of living in peripheries, and a modified version of G. Myrdal's theory of cumulative circular causation when trying to explain the origin and growth of peripheries. In the Czech Republic inner peripheries are usually the peripheral zones of metropolitan areas and regional centre areas. In the mid-1990s population numbers stopped declining in some peripheries as a result of suburbanisation processes, but in other peripheries depopulation processes continued. This last category of inner peripheries can be described as the hard core of Czech peripheral regions and in the authors' opinion they warrant the development of specific regional policy measures, stressing the creation of new jobs, the improvement of public transport, greater accessibility of service centres, and co-operation among communities.

In this contribution, based on a qualitative research conducted in 2008 – 2009 in Ankara and Antalya (Turkey), return migration from Germany to Turkey is analysed. Different dynamics are elaborated. A central return motive is the worsening situation on the German labour market and considerations concerning a possible improvement of social status in the return context. Main question is, in how far family migration networks are explanatory for a discussion of differences in return and circular migration patterns? Among others a comparison was made concerning 1) motives, values, emotional affiliations (longing for a home) and 2) circumstances resulting in circular migration strategies or reasons for a permanent settlement in the return context, i.e. educational and job opportunities and also marriage. Gender and generational differences were considered. The decision to return or to engage in circular migration strongly depends on the place of residence of the family members and material and immaterial supports provided by the family. Transnational family- and migration networks, the interconnection of different migrant generations, the exchange of different migration experiences and the resulting transfer of economic, social, cultural and symbolic capital has to be mentioned as important. In addition the legal embeddedness in Germany (residence permits, citizenship, welfare benefits, etc.) as well as better chances on the Turkish labour market and better educational opportunities (school/university) in Turkey turned out to be decisive.

The article looks at the ways Bratislava is portrayed in Milo Urban’s (1904 – 1982) memoirs and journalistic texts. It starts with the reflection of an essay published in the mid-1930s in Elán magazine and continues with an analysis of the topographic outline of the city presented in the second and third part of Urban’s memoirs. The latter texts provide a look at the city from the point of view of a stranger, newcomer. The descriptions give an insight into the emotional state of the narrator and his view of Bratislava, characterised by his exclusion from the social space of the city. The texts also contain musings on urban imagination. Common attributes of all analysed texts lie in the confrontation of modernisation with Slovak tradition. The article also outlines the possibilities of further research into Urban’s work through the analysis of urban topoi: the formerly unfamiliar Bratislava gradually becomes a known and natural space – although this process is a problematic and not finite one.

On the Schanzberg of Thunau, a hilltop well known for its early medieval centre of power, a church and a few burials were archaeologically investigated on the plateau of the ‘Untere Holzwiese’ in 1975 and the 1980s. The systematic evaluation of the burials and the 14C-dates of the church as well as of some of the burials allow new insight concerning their dating as well as interpretation. The church is mainly investigated regarding its secondary function as a burial place. It was earliest built in the late of the 10th and latest before the last third of the 13th c. and was ruinous between the late of the 13th and the late 14th c., which would fit the closing down of the castle Thunau. Five children (fetus to infans I) and one grown up were buried in and around this church in the High and Late Middle Ages. Examples are a fetus that was laid down on the demolished wall of the apse and a neonate buried inside of the apse. The burials and the church are contextualized in historical and archaeological terms as well as by stressing the topic of child burials close to and in churches. Incorporating theories about social space the special position of the church in the local landscape becomes more clearly as well as its secondary function regarding later burials. As there was no regular cemetery here, these buried were obviously neglected a regular Christian burial. Yet they were laid down close to a (remote) church without burial rights to positively influence their problematic post-mortem-identity. This and their mostly very young age indicates – regarding medieval written sources about baptism and afterlife topography as well as other archaeological investigations of this topic – that their unbaptized status is a likely interpretation. Further on another problematic dead, a slayed man, was buried here in the High Middle Ages, being banned by special burial rites.

CONTEMPORARY CHANGES WITHIN THE SOCIAL SPACE: A SOCIO-SEMIOTICAL PERSPECTIVE

The study aims at philosophical aspects of determination of space. The author analyses significance of contemporary signs and symbols in social interactions. In the daily interactions, things are not only things, actions are not only actions devoid of any deeper meaning - they all carry various cultural, economical and social connotations. Various things have always signaled wealth or poverty, high or low social position, but the novelty consists in the facts that, first, every day people experience the creation, growth and decline of the forms of signs. Second, people need to be able to interpret these signs of the times. Since people in Latvia are comparatively new actors on this stage, the need to somehow order their experiences of social space and interactions presents itself. One of the methodological tools to do that is the approach of socio-semiotics developed by Mark Gottdiener, Professor of Sociology at the University of Buffalo. The study examines Gottdiener's ideas and approaches in order to explain the field of research, theoretical presuppositions of socio-semiotics, concepts of everydayness and everyday experiences, culture semiotics, theory of social interaction.
