Throughout history, vagrancy appears as one of the notions of the Human Condition. Its artistic and poetical representations are drawn from multiple sources and offer various models. The fantasy of vagrancy in French poetry in the second half of the Nineteenth Century is fashioned as much through the vagrant’s relationship with space as with Society. Its models spring from marginality and contestation. Spatial structure presents an opposition between « closed » and « open », « interior » and « exterior », and so forth... These separations fluctuate and interact mutually. The poet conjures, from any questing, marginal figure, his own image. The general tendency, from Hugo to Rimbaud, shows both a crushing of the poetical figure, transforming it into a magus or a prophet, and the proliferation of the accursed poet’s « negating anger ».

Among any city’s most wounded bodies and minds are the homeless - individuals who live on the streets, without any formal claim to place. For many of these individuals, the vessels of historical memory are not museums, or classrooms, or library archives, but parks, alleyways, and subway stations. As the numbers of homeless individuals increase dramatically each year, their social, physical, and psychological trauma increasingly characterizes urban life, even as their experiences fall to the margins of the city’s history and future. In response, this paper explores the merging of homeless histories with public history, through two interlocking projects carried out in Boston, Massachusetts - “Histories and Homelessness,” a community-based life-writing project, and “Images from the Streets,” a disposable-camera photography project - outreach and education projects, in which all participants are among the unsheltered homeless who spend their nights on heating grates, under highways, and in ATM kiosks. Together, these projects begin to map and make visible the landscape and memories of homelessness, as they are written and photographed by its inhabitants, and firmly situate these histories within the wider community. Recovering the personal and interpretive histories of homeless individuals, so intimately tied to “place,” creates a powerful strategy for expanding the history of the community to include voices and visions often excluded or left at the margins.

DIFFERENCES IN THE RURAL STRUCTURE OF SLOVAKIA IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIO-SPATIAL POLARISATION

This study is devoted to socio-spatial polarisation with regard to the rural environment in Slovakia. In fact, ongoing polarisation processes do not take place only in the rural-urban continuum, but within every single category as well. This is evident especially in the rural environment, which has begun to change significantly in terms of its structure and to diversify to a greater extent. As a result, some parts of the countryside began to stagnate and decline gradually. These parts of the rural environment can thus be referred to as marginal, peripheral. With respect to the proclaimed diversity of the rural environment, this study focuses on selected rural structures, namely mountain areas, the borderland, and the area at the intersection of those two structures. Generally, these parts of the rural environment are often confronted with the phenomenon of marginality and peripherality, and because of the given local predisposition are even more vulnerable to its manifestations. Taking into account the dynamism and multidimensional character of this phenomenon, we can further assume that its manifestation changes in time and space. With the use of ANOVA, we examine a set of selected indicators of socio-spatial polarisation and verify whether and to what extent this dynamism depends on the character of diversified rural structures.

Homecomer. Some biographical implications of immigrants’ visiting their former homes

This paper considers some of possible implications of emigrants’ visits back home. Alfred Schütz’s seminal paper “The Homecomer” provides a theoretical framework for analysis of autobiographical narrative interviews with young Polish people living in Germany. An attempt is made to explore why and how – typical for the emigration processes – a more critical and objective image of country of origin and a growing feeling of strangeness at home deepens emigrants’ capacity for reflection on their life and identity. Consequently, most of them painfully realise that they will never fully assimilate with the country of immigration and they no longer find themselves comfortable in their country of origin. This has crucial implications for their biography. The collected empirical data show that some of emigrants plan to immediately return to Poland in order to save their emotional relationship with those back home. Others find their homeland poorer and less prospective in comparison to Germany. This legitimate their residence abroad. And finally, the negative homecoming experience can perform a very important function in the narrators’ common-sense argumentation, i.e., this should reduce psychological and biographical costs of their emigration career

Cel badań. Celem badania było przeanalizowanie, w jaki sposób Maria Konopnicka wykorzystała w swej noweli Anusia, po części o charakterze wspomnieniowym, motyw inicjacji, zwłaszcza w kobiecość. Metodologia. Dociekania oparłam na ustaleniach Mircei Eliadego, Brunona Bettelheima czy Mary Douglas. Powstało dzięki temu szerokie tło, uwzględniające perspektywę religioznawczą, antropologiczną i psychiatryczną, na którym dobrze widać wielkie zalety ujęcia literackiego, całą jego subtelność i sugestywność. Czerpałam również z rozpoznań feministycznych, z tekstów Sandry M. Gilbert i Susan Gubar, Nancy K. Miller czy Krystyny Kłosińskiej, aby podkreślić wyraźną u Konopnickiej persewerację motywów często obecnych w literaturze kobiet: szaleństwo, przebywanie na marginesie, szycie, żałoba. Wyniki. W literaturze XIX wieku i nieco młodszej spotykamy nieraz obrazy domów, w których część kobiet mieszka za kulisami, w miejscach, gdzie życie toczy się intensywniej niż to odmienne, poddane pełnej kontroli życie salonów, często przedstawianych jako bezduszne, a u Konopnickiej wręcz nieobecnych. Ta inna przestrzeń staje się też przestrzenią innej kultury. By to pokazać, przywołuję przykłady baśni i ballad, a także modlitw, legend, pieśni nabożnych, w kulturach tradycyjnych wykonywanych przez kobiety dla kobiet, również dla dzieci. W taką właśnie kulturę włącza Anusia troje swych wychowanków. Następnie za pośrednictwem wariatki Kani, niegdyś ladacznicy i gorszycielki, przez wszystkich odpychanej i pogardzanej, której Anusia udziela swojej opieki, wkracza w ich życie seksualność i śmierć. Wnioski. W Anusi, przypowieści inicjacyjnej, spełnia się potrójne wtajemniczenie zasugerowane przez Eliadego: wedle tego badacza, człowiek wstępuje w dorosłość za sprawą sacrum, Erosa i Tanatosa – z chwilą, kiedy pozna te trzy obszary, nie jest już dzieckiem.

Introduction. In this article, the aim of the author is to analyze how Maria Konopnicka uses the motive of initiation in her early novella called Anusia, bearing a clear resemblance to the author’s past. Methods. Drawing from sources which could be associated with psychiatry, anthropology or feminist critique, by among others Bruno Bettelheim, Mary Douglas, Mircea Eliade, Sandra M. Gilbert, Susan Gubar, Nancy K. Miller or Krystyna Kłosińska, the author has created a background of perspectives which allow Konopnicka show the advantages of a suggestive, subtle and meaningful literary approach. Results. In nineteenth century literature we often meet a special class of women living in the backstage of the house, where life throbs more intensively than in the parlor, so frequently portrayed as stiff and soulless, a parlor which in the story by Konopnicka is significantly never mentioned. Instead we are invited into a small wardrobe, Anusia’s kingdom and center of the children’s world. Here, undisturbed, freely and wildly, blossoms a kind of culture that is partly oral and partly written, and may be easily described as semi-folk. That places Konopnicka in a rich context which the author Illustrates using examples of fairytales, prayers, legends, ballads, and religious songs, traditionally connected with female audience, and the art of interpretation cherished by them. The other crucial question in the children’s lives is their sudden encounter with a despised outcast and scandalizer, a mad woman known by the entire town and notorious for having formerly been a city harlot. Anusia, a respectable, modest old maid, pities her and nurses her when she falls sick, thereby exposing her pupils to the mystery of erotism and death. Conclusion. Konopnicka’s novella seems to be consciously shaped after Eliade’s scholarly work, where the initiation process is divided clearly into three parts: sacrum, death and sexuality.

L’éloge du vagabondage au XIXe siècle : une pensée minoritaire

All along the nineteenth century in France, the vagabond becomes a main social and philosophical issue, for he is hunt down by scientists – vagrancy is conceived as a mental illness – and by jurists – different laws are created to criminalize the act. By establishing a link between this sudden obsession and the concern expressed by thinkers (Tocqueville, Comte, Bourget) that the society is dangerously blowing apart in separate individuals, this paper aims to analyze the manifestation of this conflict between society and vagabond in literature, among others Barrès’ Les Déracinés and Gide’s Nourritures terrestres.

The Edges of the World: Diasporic Metaphysics of Bruno Schulz

This essay is a theologico-philosophical meditation on Bruno Schulz, focusing on his “love for the marginal”: a special attention paid to tandeta, in other words all things trashy, located on the eponymous edges of the world, far away from the center. Contrary to the assumed mode of interpretation, which reads Schulz’s fascination with the “dark forces of life” in terms of the depth subversive toward the surface, I propose a different scheme: an opposition of center and edges/margins, deriving from the Kabbalistic metaphysics of Isaac Luria, which constituted the primary matrix of the Hasidic Kabbalah, known to Schulz as the member of the pre-war Drohobycz Jewry. I then juxtapose Schulz’s intuition of a life thriving on the cosmological margins with Freud’s early theory of the drives, especially his concept of perversion as a “libido on the edge.” In both writers we find a similar echo of the spatial Kabbalistic imagining of the relation between the emptied center and the rich diaspora of life, dispersing and multiplying on the fringes of the “cosmic exile.”

Artykuł porusza kwestię znaczenia edukacji w starości, jej roli w podnoszeniu kompetencji osób starszych, a także przeciwdziałaniu marginalności i marginalizacji społecznej. Edukacja w późnej dorosłości stanowi istotne zagadnienie szczególnie w obliczu starzenia się społeczeństwa oraz przemian dokonujących się we wszystkich sferach funkcjonowania człowieka. Pozwala na wszechstronny rozwój, zapewnia orientację w ciągle zmieniającej się rzeczywistości społecznej oraz stwarza szansę na osiąganie sukcesu w różnych obszarach życia. Osoba starsza poprzez proces uczenia się współtworzy warunki dla zmagania się z życiowymi kryzysami, co pozwala jej na funkcjonowanie w przestrzeni życia społecznego, a tym samym przeciwdziała marginalizacji osób starszych wiekiem.

The article concerns the importance of education in old age, its role in the prevention of regressive changes, raising the competence of the elderly, as well as the prevention of marginality and social exclusion. Education in late adulthood is an important issue especially in the face of an aging population and the changes taking place in all spheres of human functioning. This allows for comprehensive development, provides orientation in a constantly changing social reality and is an opportunity to achieve success in different areas of life. An elderly person by learning co-creates the conditions for coping with life’s crises, which allows you to function in the social life, and thus prevents the marginalization of older people.

The purpose of this article is to present current state and situation, which is in the east of Ukraine, as well as selected problems faced by the people of Donbass. In April 2014 years in the circuits of Donetsk and Lugansk, Ukraine began hybrid war. Kiev has introduced partial blockage of territories rebellion. Stopped working all the infrastructure necessary for life: shopping, hospitals, banks and transport, water supply, heating. Lock expanded areas poverty and hunger. Arose groups of people who are living only with the help of charity. Socially excluded. People who for various reasons are there, they are struggling for survival today. Their most important aim is to survive: getting food, shelter against accidental missile, fear for relatives. People suffer because they do not want to wander around refugee centers, they are worried that in a new place, they will not find work.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie współczesnego stanu i sytuacji panującej na wschodzie Ukrainy, a także wybranych problemów, z którymi spotykają się ludzie z Donbasu. W kwietniu 2014 roku na terenie obwodów donieckiego i ługańskiego rozpoczęła się tzw. wojna hybrydowa: Kijów wprowadził częściową blokadę terytoriów rebelii, w wyniku czego przestała funkcjonować infrastruktura niezbędna do życia: handel, szpitale, banki, transport, wodociągi i ogrzewanie. Blokada poszerzyła obszary nędzy i głodu. Powstały grupy ludzi żyjących jedynie dzięki pomocy charytatywnej, wykluczonych społecznie. Ludzie, którzy z różnych przyczyn pozostali w swych domach, walczą dziś o przetrwanie. Ich głównym celem jest przeżycie: zdobycie żywności i ochrona przed bombami, czemu towarzyszy strach o najbliższych. Cierpią, gdyż nie chcą się tułać po ośrodkach dla uchodźców, obawiając się, że w nowym miejscu nie znajdą pracy.

The article is focused on MUBIG, an experimental museum in a peripheral neigbourhood of Milan. The museum, a fluid, scattered, dynamic discourse – a process, more than a place – is born out of an urban regeneration project. The reflection attempts to articulate a number of key questions: how are the individual histories embodied by the museum? What points of fragility are envisaged in this regard and how are they addressed, in order to prevent tokenism and the rhetoric of participation perse? What is the role of the visual dimention and of contemporary art? Throughout the article, I argue that neighbourhood museums might be one of the many actors needed on the scene of decolonisation, by this term meaning a process of space-making around the commons based on representation and radical listening. The experience is analyses here through a double lens: while being a member of the collective who co-designed it, I also look at it from my academic position. This allows me to describe the process keeping different “points of distance,” therefore layering methodologies and viewpoints.

Obcy we własnym domu. O niektórych biograficznych implikacjach pobytów emigrantów w ojczyźnie

Traktując klasyczny tekst Alfreda Schütza „Homecomer” jako ramę odniesienia i opierając się na osobistych narracjach osób, które wybrały Niemcy jako kraj życia, artykuł ten zmierza do opisania biograficznych konsekwencji krótkotrwałych pobytów emigrantów w rodzinnych stronach. Znamienny dla procesów emigracyjnych coraz bardziej krytyczny i obiektywny obraz kraju urodzenia oraz narastające poczucie obcości we własnym kraju prowadzi do refleksji nad własnym życiem. Wiedzie ona nieuchronnie do uświadomienia sobie, że dom, który opuścili już nie istnieje, a tam, gdzie wyjechali (w Niemczech) być może nigdy nie poczują się „u siebie”. To budzi u wielu emigrantów ogromy niepokój, któremu starają się zaradzić podejmując znaczące biograficznie decyzje. Zgromadzony materiał empiryczny pokazuje, że u wielu emigrantów brak poczucia wspólnoty doświadczeń w życiu codziennym z bliskimi w Polsce wywołuje potrzebę natychmiastowego powrotu na łono ojczyzny. Dla innych porównanie kraju pochodzenia i kraju emigracji utwierdza ich w przekonaniu o słuszności emigracyjnej drogi. W końcu, niektórym negatywny odbiór Polski z odmiennej kulturowo perspektywy daje możliwość usprawiedliwienia niechęci powrotu do ojczyzny.
