The article discusses the subject of the identity of the inhabitants of Polish Upper Silesia from the perspective of micro-history and the history of everyday. By analysing selected court files concerning contempt of the state and Polish nation from the 1930s in the city of Katowice, I show how everyday life at the time was undergoing nationalisation and politicisation. In the face of the rivalry between Polish and German nationalism, family and neighbourly disputes may be interpreted in national categories, and the feeling of bitterness caused by living conditions may be treated as contempt of the state. The identity and political interpretation of seemingly unrelated cases becomes a tool in the hands of the Polish authorities, but the Upper Silesians themselves also use it for their own purposes.

The paper looks into the turbulent history of the ancient town of Akrai/Acrae in a mountainous part of southeastern Sicily, encapsulated in the assemblage of finds from a domestic cistern, which was remodeled and adapted in the course of its use. The cistern is considered as an architectural feature against the background of the ancient town, and the assemblage recovered from it is exmined thoroughly category by category, giving insight into the life of the ancient inhabitants of this island in the Mediterranean.

The article is dedicated to the problems of history education in the early school years, a question which until now has been almost neglected in literature. Studies on constructing the historical senses of primary school pupils can help, if only partially, to fill in this gap. Two aspects are discussed: historical senses constructed in the context of educational situations (focusing on the content, developed around the teacher, concentrated on pupils’ knowledge) and historical senses constructed by pupils via narration. By analyzing the research material, the author was able to distinguish the subjective senses and meanings which pupils participating in the study assigned to spheres of private life and to spheres which are manifestations of grand history in private stories.

The article discusses the connection between the notions of the gender order in the family that was dominant in the last two decades of the People’s Republic of Poland and the acceptance of violence. It also presents the potential of two types of sources of studying domestic violence in the 20th century: court files and the popular press. Such sources enable us to focus our attention equally on the discourse of the era and on the individual experience of historical actors, which can be read by deciphering the narrative strategies they use as they search for self-reflection concerning the situation in which they found themselves and ways of dealing with violence.
