By reminding the criteria of separation of Boyko Land as a cultural and historic territory and the Boykos as an ethnographic group the author aims to convince that we are not dealing with history of exploring the ethnographic areas, but the history of inventing them. Talking about the Boykos in Boyko Land is synonymous with commitment to a number of ideas from the history of science, the old concepts of culture, folk culture, ethnicity, cultural-historical school and anthropogeoghraphy, physical anthropology, and physiognomies, folklore and ethnography. Contrary to Boyko Land researchers the author claim that since the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day in Ukraine they deal not with a great ethnic group – the Boykos, but with many local communities of Ruthenian mountaineers – the ethnographic groups. The old and popular in the north-eastern Carpathians depreciating words related to the alien, such as “Boyko” or “Lemko”, were released from the meaning by the intellectuals who were engaged in science, literature and politics in order to apply them to name the groups and their territories.

The main purpose of the article is to present and discuss research ideas related to the status of Polish Tatars. This group is an example of an ethnic group that is variable in time and space and is being under the influence of dynamic processes as well as transformations. As a consequence, the views on the status of the group did not always keep pace with the proper reflection of these changes. This article will present the positions and research assumptions under which Polish Tartars are an ethnographic group, ethnic group, or a nation.

The Kashubian community is recently experiencing some sort of re-vival. This group, which is recognized outside Poland as Polonia, lives in the Pomeranian Voivodship. Kashubians didn’t dissociate themselves from Polish society, they are still an integral part of it, so they are also affected by the same problems as Poles. This article is an attempt to find an answer to the question of the im-portance of tradition for the survival and development of the only such community in Poland. In Kashubia – just like in the rest of Poland – the definition of national identity creates many difficulties. For centuries, culture and religion defined the national affiliation. And what is it like today? The authors of this article are trying to answer this question by examining selected issues, which in their opinion, are the most impor-tant. No position has been taken whether we are facing the process of changing the definition of national identity (for example due to cultural globalization, especially mass culture), the unification and accelerated social changes, among both large and small societies, whose identity is at risk. The presented research results illustrate only selected factors affect-ing the daily life of Kashubians, eg: who they are, how they perceive themselves, how they define Kashubian identity.

The article, comprising four sections, presents Oskar Kolberg, a Polish ethnographer and folklorist, and his work. The first section is devoted to the ethnographer’s early work and to the results of his lifelong research, namely a twenty-three-volume monograph entitled Lud, jego zwyczaje, sposób życia, mowa, podania, przysłowia, obrzędy, gusła, zabawy, pieśni muzyka i tańce (Folk: Their Customs, Way of Life, Language, Legends, Proverbs, Rituals, Spells, Games, Songs, Music and Dances) and a nine-volume series entitled Obrazy etnograficzne (Ethnographic Pictures). The second section presents the methodology that Kolberg used to collect his data, including his own research, materials received from other researchers and data gathered as the result of contests organised by various scientific societies around the country. The third section describes the methods used by Kolberg to organise the materials. Kolberg aimed to create an overall ethnographic description of Poland with a division into the so-called provinces. Additionally, Kolberg differentiated and described ethnographic groups, including their ethnonyms, which are still recognised and used today. The fourth section presents the scope of his monographs, which have become the standard for this type of ethnographic work. The article also reflects upon the challenges that Kolberg’s work presents for the contemporary reader.
