The article suggests using the category of the contact zone adopted from postcolonial studies in research on borderland, which - in turn - allows researchers to describe the phenomenon of the frontier. According to Pratt, contact zone may be understood as the space of cooperation and competition, coexistence and antagonism, contact and conflict of groups. The aim of the article is to analyse the representations of borderland in Polish-Jewish prose of the 1930s (including the novels published in the mass-circulation press). We shall focus on the motives that stand behind the conflictive communication. It is worth noting that in the literary renditions, interactions between Poles and Jews easily transform into conflicts. Conflictive communication appears in various places (e.g. school, street, neighbourhood), forms (nicknames, arguments, pogrom cries) and functions (from initiating and escalating tensions to riots and murders). As a result, the contact zone transforms into a conflict zone.

In the 19th century Japan was still a relatively mysterious land for many Europeans, even after more than a century of trade relations with the Dutch. Once in a while efforts were made to expand the European knowledge of Japan and European scholars tried to explore the country despite the limitations the Japanese put on them. In current research little attention has been paid to the role the Japanese played in collecting information for the advance of European knowledge of Japan. This article discusses the role of the Japanese in the groundwork for Nippon (1832–1858), the description of Japan by Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796–1866). It attempts to answer the question of what this cooperation looked like, which areas of knowledge it affected and what the consequences of the cooperation were for both sides.

The Bulgarian-Romanian language boundary: anthroponymical dataThe topic is Balkan anthroponymy. The area is the Lower Danube – the Bulgarian-Romanian language boundary. In this contact zone there is a distribution of family names, formed from urbonyms. They signal a specific regional belonging, and they show the link with the common area: the Danube river. We are referring to family names of the type: Vidinliev, Kalafatov, Beketov, Svishtovliev, Ruschukliev, Kalarashev, Tutrakanov, (meaning ‘from Vidin’, ‘from Calafat’, ‘from Bechet’, ‘from Svishtov’, ‘from Ruse’, ‘from Calarashi’, ‘from Tutrakan’). This phenomenon is widespread on both banks of the river. Bułgarsko-rumuńska granica językowa. Dane antroponimiczneArtykuł dotyczy bałkańskiej antroponimii w regionie dolnego Dunaju, stanowiącego bułgarsko-rumuńską granicę i jednocześnie strefę kontaktu. W tym regionie częste są nazwiska derywowane od nazw miejscowości. Sygnalizują one pochodzenie, wskazując jednocześnie na rodowód miejscowy, tj. z regionu naddunajskiego. Są to nazwiska takie jak: Vidinliev, Kalafatov, Beketov, Svištovliev, Rusčukliev, Kalarašev, Tutrakanov (oznaczające: 'z Vidinu, z Kalafatu, z Svištova, z Ruse, z Kalaraši, z Tutrakanu'). Zjawisko to występuje po obu stronach Dunaju.

This article suggests using the category of contact zone taken from the postcolonial studies in the research on borderland, which allows to describe frontier phenomena and processes in their complexity, multi-dimensionality and ambiguity. Following M. L. Pratt contact zone is understood as the space of cooperation and competition, coexistence and antagonism, contact and conflict of groups. The subject of analysis are the representations of borderland in Polish-Jewish in the prose of 1930s (including the serialized novels published in mass-circulation press). In the centre of interest there is the motive of conflict communication. In the literary renditions interactions between Poles and Jews easily transform into conflict communication and focus on indicating group differences and borders, defining collective identities and their positioning. Conflictive communication appears in various places (school, street, neighbourhood), in various forms (nick-names, arguments, pogrom cries) and functions (from initiating and escalating tensions to inspiring riots and murders), adding to the transformation of a contact zone into a conflict zone.

Materials presented in this article are the result of two seasons of excavations. At the outset, it is worth noting that the location of the settlement in Deszczno, in the so-called contact zone, makes it interesting from a sources aspect and from a ‘Pomeranian perspective.’ The site 11/13 in Deszczno belongs to the open settlement type. All features recorded there were below ground ones. Amongst them pits of unrecognized function (118) and postholes (70) dominate. Furthermore, 65 oval and circular pits, rectangular or trapezoidal in section were recorded, which hypothetically are the remains of cellars or proper storage pits. Hearths occurred in the settlement in question only rarely. Despite excavating a large area of the settlement its spatial organization is not clear. Unfortunately, the poor state of the features’ preservation does not allow for a more detailed interpretation of their functions. Remains of probable dwellings, which are one of basic elements in distinguishing hypothetical farms’ boundaries, were recorded occasionally. It can be assumed that large, irregular features are only the sunken parts of larger overground buildings. Unfortunately, it was impossible to find any evident remains of this type of construction linked with dwellings. It is also difficult to perceive a division of space into separate zones, such as residential and agricultural or production and agricultural ones. Production and agricultural features were scattered within the entire excavated area. Numerous and chronologically diverse materials discovered on the site indicate the long-term use of the place, at least from the late Bronze Age to the Middle Ages. The settlement in question, related to communities of the Lusatian culture, was present here as early as from period IV of the Bronze Age. This is indicated by infrequent but evident elements of the Uradz style of pottery decoration. Its small number on the site seems to match the general trend in the occurrence of this type of pottery in Greater Poland and the Lubusz Land region. According to M. Kaczmarek, it may indicate that the phenomenon of the Uradz style was of slightly shorter duration than was assumed and covered only a part of period IV of the Bronze Age. Perceptible settlement activity occurred on the site during the next stage dated to the turn of period V of the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. This period also marks the beginning of phenomena associated with the development of settlement of the Górzycka group of the Lusatian culture encompassing areas on both sides of the lower Warta and Noteć River basins as well as the middle and lower Odra River. The increased activity of this group in the aforementioned zone is confirmed by discoveries of numerous sites.

Фарміраванне беларуска-польскай міжмоўнай занальнай супольнасці, якая паўстала ў выніку кантактавання моўных сістэм, адбывалася ў супярэчлівых сацыялінгвістычных варунках. Іх аналіз уяўляецца перспектыўным пры вызначэнні прычын, якія паўплывалі на сучасны арэальны падзел славянскіх моўных тэрыторый. У артыкуле аналізуюцца гістарычныя ўмовы, у якіх зараджаліся і развіваліся беларуска-польскія кантакты ў прасторы і часе, а таксама ўстанаўліваецца статус, роля і функцыі беларускай мовы ў гісторыі беларуска-польскіх узаемадачыненняў. Вялікае значэнне пры выяўленні характару беларуска-польскіх арэальных узаемасувязей мае выкарыстанне такіх метадаў, як арэальна-тыпалагічны, супастаўляльны, параўнальна-гістарычны, апісальна-аналітычны.

Formowanie się białorusko-polskiej wspólnoty językowej, do wyłonienia której doszło poprzez krzyżowanie się systemów obu języków, odbywało się w niesprzyjających warunkach socjolingwistycznych. W dziedzinie kontaktów międzyjęzykowych najbardziej potrzebne na obecnym etapie badań — jak się zdaje — jest zweryfikowanie dotychczasowych poglądów i w miarę obiektywne określenie przyczyn, jakie odegrały niebagatelny wpływ na współczesny kształt i zasięg terytorialny języków pokrewnych, jakimi są polszczyzna i białoruszczyzna. W niniejszym artykule wnikliwiej analizie (w aspekcie czasowo-przestrzennym) poddano warunki historyczne, w jakich zrodziły się i rozwijały białorusko-polskie kontakty językowe. Największy nacisk położono na próbę określenia statusu, roli i funkcji języka białoruskiego w historii wzajemnych kontaktów i wpływów obu języków. Przy opisie cech białorusko-polskich zależności na badanym obszarze wykorzystano — niezwykle istotnych dla tego typu badań lingwistycznych — kilka metod: arealno-typologiczną, konfrontatywną, porównawczo-historyczną oraz opisowo-analityczną

The formation of the communicative space of the Belarusian-Polish contact zone that was formed as a result of contacting of language systems took place in contradictory sociolinguistic conditions. The analysis of the conditions is perspective in case of identifying the factors that influenced on the modern areal division of Slavic language territories. The article analyzes the historical conditions in which the Belarusian-Polish language contacts originated and developed in space and time, and also defines the status, role and functions of the Belarusian language in the history of the Belarusian-Polish interrelations.

Based on the classic concept developed by M.L. Pratt and the author’s experience of fieldwork in Africa, this article discusses methods of building a contact zone during anthropological field research. Under the conditions of such research, a limited space of mutual, lasting, interactive relations is created between the anthropologist and the local social environment. The contact zone understood in this way is produced discursively and practiced physically. The time factor and coordination of the anthropologist’s availa- bility with the rhythm of life in the studied community are paramount. The contact zone may have different scope and social depth – it will be shallow, scattered and short-lived in field research covering an extensive area, but will acquire an interactive depth during an “intensive habitation”, when an anthropologist shares everyday life with the studied community.

Kwestia granicy amerykańsko-meksykańskiej zawsze była ważna dla Latynosów mieszkających w USA, a jej wszechstronne role, a także wpływ na osoby przekraczające granice oraz na środowisko, są przedstawiane przez różnych autorów i artystów latynoskich i nielatynoskich. Ich artystyczne produkcje ilustrują przemiany tej przestrzeni w strefę kontaktu a tym samym kwestionują racjonalność budowanego na granicy muru. Różnią się one formą – od działań, które stanowią natychmiastową odpowiedź na pojawiający się na granicy problem po interwencje podejmowane z „przywilejem” przygotowania, tj. czasem. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie, w jaki sposób re-wizje granicy pows`tałe po roku dwutysięcznym na nowo definiują skonfliktowaną i sporną przestrzeń granicy amerykańsko-meksykańskiej oraz jak wybrane przykłady artystycznej aktywności społecznej wpływają na te przemiany.

The question of the U.S.–Mexico border has always been important for Latinx living in the U.S. and its versatile roles as well as its influence on border crossers and the environment have been presented by various Latinx and non-Latinx authors and artists. Their artistic productions illustrate the transformations of space into a contact zone and challenge the rationale of the wall. They vary in form from immediate responses to those interventions undertaken with the privilege of preparation, i.e. time. The purpose of this article is to examine how those post-millennial re-visions of the border re-define the conflicted and contentious space of the U.S.–Mexico border and how the time-determined form of selected examples of post-2000 border artivism influences those transformations.

Dialectal peculiarities in the functioning of the grammatical category of gender, characteristic of the north-eastern dialects of the Polish language, can be geographically and typologically correlated with the corresponding phenomena localized mainly in the north- and south-western Belarusian dialects – the areas of the individual feminine nouns continue in the East of the Polish language continuum.Assuming that the centre of irradiation or the stimulus that caused the appearance of the morphological innovation kłomel (f.), noted in the North-East of Poland, is hypothetically located in Belarus, in the area of expansion of the Polesie dialects, the author presents some results of a comparative analysis of data regarding the variable category of gender in Polish, Belarusian and some other Slavic and non-Slavic languages, as well as linguistic-geographical, structural-semantic, etymological data regarding this areal innovation with available Slavic and non-Slavic material, which allows us to get closer to solving its origin and the reasons for its appearance in the north-eastern speeches of Poland,  where the lexeme kłomel (f.) is formally related primarily to the masculine word structure and is used alongside the well-known feminine equivalent kłomla.The research was conducted with the application of comparative, comparative-historical, descriptive-analytical and areal-typological methods. Their complex application leads to the conclusion that the Western Polesian-Panmonian word klomla should be interpreted as a stimulus phenomenon for the formation of the morphological innovation kłomel (f.) in the north-eastern dialects of the Polish language. The expansion of femininum in this case can be considered as the result of the redistribution of feminine and masculine forms in the inter-Slavic and Baltic-Slavic contact zone, which in turn caused changes in morphology and corresponding mutations in the considered lexeme.

Дыялектныя асаблівасці ў функцыянаванні граматычнай катэгорыі роду, характэрныя для паўночна-ўсходніх гаворак польскай мовы, арэальна і тыпалагічна могуць быць суаднесены з адпаведнымі з’явамі, лакалізаванымі пераважна ў паўночна- і паўднёва-заходніх беларускіх гаворках – арэалы асобных назоўнікаў femininum маюць працяг на ўсходзе польскага моўнага кантынуума.Мяркуючы, што цэнтр ірадыяцыі або стымул, які выклікаў узнікненне марфалагічнай інавацыі kłomel (f.), адзначанай на паўночным усходзе Польшчы, гіпатэтычна знаходзіцца на Беларусі, у зоне пашырэння палескіх гаворак, аўтар прадстаўляе некаторыя вынікі супастаўляльнага аналізу звестак адносна зменнай катэгорыі роду ў польскай, беларускай і некаторых іншых, славянскіх і неславянскіх, мовах, а таксама лінгвагеаграфічных, структурна-семантычных, этымалагічных дадзеных адносна гэтай арэальнай інавацыі з наяўным славянскім і неславянскім матэрыялам, што дазваляе наблізіцца да разгадкі яе паходжання і прычын з’яўлення ў паўночна-ўсходніх гаворках Польшчы, дзе лексема kłomel (f.) фармальна суадносіцца ў першую чаргу са структурай слоў мужчынскага роду і выкарыстоўваецца побач з агульнавядомым эквівалентам kłomla жаночага роду.Даследаванне праводзілася з ужываннем параўнальнага, параўнальна-гістарычнага, апісальна-аналітычнага і арэальна-тыпалагічнага метадаў. Іх комплекснае прымяненне прыводзіць да высноў аб тым, што заходнепалеска-панямонскае слова кломля варта трактаваць як з’яву-стымул для ўтварэння марфалагічнай інавацыі kłomel (f.) у паўночна-ўсходніх гаворках польскай мовы. Экспансія femininum у дадзеным выпадку можа разглядацца як вынік пераразмеркавання ў кантактнай міжславянскай і балта-славянскай зоне форм жаночага і мужчынскага роду, што ў сваю чаргу выклікала змены ў марфалогіі і адпаведныя мутацыі ў разгледжанай лексеме.

Gwarowe osobliwości w funkcjonowaniu gramatycznej kategorii rodzaju charakterystyczne dla północno-wschodnich dialektów języka polskiego mogą być skorelowane geograficznie i typologicznie z odpowiadającymi im zjawiskami zlokalizowanymi głównie w północno- i południowo-zachodnich dialektach białoruskich – areały poszczególnych rzeczowników rodzaju żeńskiego są kontynuowane na wschodzie polskiego kontinuum językowego.Zakładając, że centrum irradiacji lub bodziec, który spowodował pojawienie się morfologicznej innowacji kłomel (f.) odnotowanej w północno-wschodniej Polsce hipotetycznie jest zlokalizowany na Białorusi, w obszarze rozpowszechniania się gwar poleskich autorka przedstawia wyniki analizy porównawczej danych dotyczących zmiennej kategorii rodzaju w języku polskim, białoruskim i niektórych innych językach słowiańskich i niesłowiańskich, a także dane językowo-geograficzne, strukturalno-semantyczne, etymologiczne dotyczące tej arealnej innowacji z dostępnym materiałem słowiańskim i niesłowiańskim, co pozwala zbliżyć się do rozwiązania jej genezy i przyczyn pojawienia się w gwarach północno-wschodniej Polski, gdzie leksem kłomel (f.) jest formalnie związany przede wszystkim ze strukturą wyrazów rodzaju męskiego i jest używany obok znanego odpowiednika rodzaju żeńskiego kłomla.Badania przeprowadzono metodami: porównawczą, porównawczo-historyczną, opisowo-analityczną oraz arealno-typologiczną. Ich kompleksowe zastosowanie prowadzi do wniosku, że zachodniopolesko-poniemońskie słowo klomla należy interpretować jako zjawisko stymulujące powstawanie morfologicznej innowacji kłomel (f.) w północno-wschodnich gwarach języka polskiego. Ekspansję femininum można w tym przypadku uznać za wynik redystrybucji form żeńskich i męskich w międzysłowiańskiej i bałtycko-słowiańskiej strefie kontaktowej, co z kolei spowodowało zmiany w morfologii i odpowiednie mutacje w rozpatrywanym leksemie.
