Bus drivers are a peculiar socio-professional group that is associated with certain social position, professional tongue, working habits, nutrition habits and way of clothing. However, a specific form of cohesion, which can be perceived in greetings, verbal and non-verbal communication and way of behaviour not only in the road traffic, is an interesting phenomenon despite the mutual anonymity of the members of that group. We could encounter that socio-professional group in Prague in 1908 for the first time, when the first bus line in the area of Lesser-Town Square and Pohořelec was put into operation. Currently, the urban bus transport services in the territory of the City of Prague are provided by the Prague Public Transit Company, Inc. as well as by several private transit companies with different number of employees. The way of organizing the driver’s shifts, the individual demands of particular employers, the look of uniforms and partially the work performance are different in many aspects and they influence the everyday way of life of bus drivers. The ethnological research on the theme is based mainly on the emic view by an ethnologist – driver; the author of the study has worked as an auxiliary driver in the territory of Prague since mid-2013 until now. His emic view is confronted with literature and interviews conducted with respondents of different age, who worked or still work as bus drivers in Prague urban territory.

Prezentowane opracowanie składa się z trzech zasadniczych części. W pierwszej części autorka ukazuje swoją dotychczasową drogę badawczą nad życiem jednej ze wspólnot wirtualnych. Prezentuje obszary swoich zainteresowań badawczych, którymi stały się różnorodne aspekty funkcjonowania wspólnot wirtualnych – m.in. aspekt komunikacyjny, poradniczy, obyczajowy oraz taki, który związany jest z poczuciem tożsamości lokalnej. W drugiej części autorka dzieli się dylematami, które towarzyszą jej podczas prowadzenia owych badań. Dylematy dotyczą etycznego aspektu zaangażowanych badań uczestniczących. W trzeciej części opracowania zaprezentowany został specyficzny sposób prowadzenia badań. Metodologiczną inspiracją dla autorki stała się koncepcja badań emicznych autorstwa Kenetha Lee Pike’a. Zasadnicze cechy tej strategii badawczej to: badanie kultur „od wewnątrz”, wykorzystywanie przez badacza płaszczyzny uczestnika kultury, stosowanie obserwacji uczestniczącej (wewnętrznej), odwoływanie się do pojęć członków, a przede wszystkim – utrzymywanie zaangażowania emocjonalnego przez badacza. Ostatecznie wszystkie te argumenty okazały się być bardzo pomocne i stały się metodologicznym wsparciem w prowadzonych przez autorkę badaniach

This paper consists of three main parts. In the first part the author describes the progress of her research on the life of a selected virtual community. She presents the areas of interest to her, which include various aspects of virtual community functioning – such as the communicative, counseling or social aspect, as well as the one associated with the sense of local identity. In the second part the author describes the dilemmas she faces in the course of her research. They refer to the ethical aspect of involved research. The third part contains a description of a particular research procedure. The concept of emic research developed by Keneth Lee Pike constitutes the methodological inspiration for the author. The essential features of this research strategy include: the study of cultures “from the inside”, the use of the culture participant plane by the researcher, the use of participant internal observation, referring to the terms of members, and most of all – maintaining an emotional involvement by the researcher. Eventually, all these elements have proved to be very helpful and provided a methodological support in the research conducted by the author.
