In the article "Identity and the contemporary media" the author reflects on the subject of influence of new technologies on the contemporary man’s spiritual life. She discusses the issue of creation of an individual identity in the context determined by cultural anthropology, sociology and philosophy. The author asks about the possibilities and ways of identity creation in the conditions of fluidity, variability and instability of the world. Looking for elements which can be recognized as constant in the identity subject, she introduces constitutive features of a discursive (by A. Giddens) and deictic (by modifying Lacan’s theory) subject.

The article presents the greatest Polish ethnographer, who was also a professionally educated musician. He concentrated his activities on the oral musical culture, still vital in the 19th century but liable to changes. Culture studies by Kolberg concerned mainly rural communities, statistically dominating in those times. He planned to edit 60 volumes geographically covering the first Polish State from before 1772; he managed to print 33 of them in his lifetime and prepare many further anthologies for editing. Up till now, the editorial work is still in progress. The already edited 80 volumes show us an old social culture, folk ceremonies, musical repertoire including ritual singing, songs and instrumental pieces. Kolberg’s printed monument is a source of reflection on the past and can inspire social studies, ethnomusicological research as well as musical ensembles performing traditional ethnic music of peasant origin. The size of Kolberg’s documentation means that a special Institute of Oskar Kolberg had to be established to continue editorial and research work. In spite of his positivistic and empirical attitude, Kolberg still kept a romantic faith in the significance of folk songs and singing for the preservation of national components in cultural consciousness. Simultaneously, he developed a model for structural analysis of popular/folk culture and intended to build a cultural atlas of the country, building on the work of his father, professor of the University of Warsaw, an outstanding cartographer. But the core of Kolberg’s programme, its “planetary centre”, was always music. It was music that gave him the stimulus to interpret the culture of Central-Eastern Europe. To preserve regional diversity, he wrote down more than 20 thousand vocal melodies, song texts and instrumental pieces, paying special attention to variants and ornamentation. For the contemporary composer, Kolberg’s volumes are a useful musical reader. These huge anthologies of elementary but highly integrated musical concepts demonstrate the collective creativity and a fascinating prefiguration of mass culture, still open to symbols and to poetry. Kolberg’s music transcriptions, catching music in the process of performance, should not be treated as unchangeable patterns for copying, but rather as a source that helps understand creativity in traditional oral culture.

The author applies the patron-client model to read the relationship between God and man in Rom. 5–8. First, the model and its basic features are presented in the context of the Greco-Roman society, including its applicability to divinity. Next, the various elements of the model are traced in Rom. 5–8 (asymmetry, exchange of goods, personal relationship, favoritism, reciprocity, kinship language, honor and voluntary entrance). The article finishes with the advantages of reading Rom. 5–8 through the lens of the patron-client relationship.

This paper presents the method of mental mapping, adapted for the purposes of anthropological research on perception and assessment of urbanised spaces. Its application is also discussed in the evaluation of cultural landscape, taking into account the aspect of human experience. The method allows for examination of the inhabited environment’s perceptions and their externalisation in the form of mental maps constructed on the basis of residents’ relations of examined locations. The analysis of mental maps allows both for identification and description of elementsthat create the structure of the space and the evaluation of their role in the life of the community and in the formation of a harmonious landscape. The source basis of the article, apart from works referred to in the bibliography, are ethnographic field studies conducted between 2014 and 2017 in ten villages in the Kielce Voivodeship and in Kielce.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie nurtu antropologii literatury we Włoszech, reprezentowanego przez Fabia Dei (a także innych uczonych takich, jak Pietro Clemente, Zelda Alice Franceschi czy Valerio Petrarca). Fabio Dei, antropolog kultury, rozważa skomplikowane związki antropologii i literatury, uwzględniając przede wszystkim problematykę literatury jako źródła do badań nad kulturą oraz zagadnienie pisarstwa antropologicznego (w tym literackości relacji z badań terenowych). Refleksję nad antropologią i literaturą we Włoszech odnosi do rozwoju włoskich badań ludoznawczych, folkloroznawczych i filologicznych.

The aim of this paper is to present an Italian trend of the anthropology of literature represented by Fabio Dei (as well as other scholars, such as Pietro Clemente, Zelda Alice Franceschi, and Valerio Petrarca). Fabio Dei, an anthropologist of culture, analyses complex ties between anthropology and literature. First of all, he understands literature as a source of the study of culture. Also, he discusses the idea of anthropological writing (including the literary character of field research accounts). He refers his reflections on anthropology and literature in Italy to the development of Italian ethnography, folklore studies and philology.

The article is divided into three parts. The first one (“The past is a foreign country [L.P. Hartley] History and Anthropology. Meeting points) is devoted to bringing history and anthropology of culture closer together, since in both of them a great deal of attention is paid to the issue of memory. In the second part (Problems with relations), by means of examples from ethnographical studies, we are presented with some of the difficulties that memory researchers can encounter when doing fieldwork. The last part of the text contains theoretical ponderings on the matter of memory as presented from the perspective of anthropology of culture. The problem of memory is discussed: the way it is understood by today’s anthropologists and what role it plays in the cognitive processes (memory as a source of anthropological knowledge, memory as a subject of knowledge, memory as a cognitive tool).

In the second part of the article on the rhetorical and socio-rhetorical reading of New Testament texts, the author focuses on the socio-rhetorical approach. It is presented as a remedy to the fragmentary character of the sociological and anthropological studies on the Bible. The stress on the close reading of the text inherent in the socio-rhetoric gives both sociology and anthropology the anchorage they need not to stray from the main object of their inquiry. The author with broad strokes depicts the development and main concepts of the socio-rhetorical methodology. Then, he explains the six stages postulated by the method: the analysis of inner texture, intertexture, social and cultural texture, ideological texture, sacred texture, and the so called rhetorolects. The article finishes with concise conclusions on the advantages of using the socio-rhetoric in comparison to the deficient historical-critical methodology
