The author in the article analyses the marking of UK public transport stops on the ex ample of photographic documentation. The images were taken in two cities: London and York and the Welsh town of Betws-y-coed. e author takes a look at the network of land roads and, in particular, stops that stand out from the urban landscape. They are key elements of a complex network of interconnections developing over the centuries. Showing them in a historical perspective reveals the dynamics of change related to the development of technology, the evolution of transport models driven by the growing demand for mobility. The development, but also the standardisation of public stop signs encourages a better distribution of information and, consequently, more e¢cient travel planning, thus blending in with the cultural landscape of cities.

This anthropological essay provides a meditation on mass tourism while analysing the mechanisms of conflict between the needs of mass tourism and the local urban environment, extraterritorial spaces that fit into the universal heritage of humanity. Historical districts/ entertainment districts in capital cities are discussed as extraterritorial areas treated as ambivalent, bypassed, business bases. The tourists themselves constitute thoroughly ambivalent figures as tame strangers, treated simultaneously as a potential source of maximum earnings and intruders.

The article describes the historical development of growing transcultural connections in the modern human world. Cities played a special historical role in the development of “popular music”. (Modern) cities are interconnected with each other. The city as a place is by that way not an isolated place. The city has undergone a “heterogeneous cultural process”, and currently it is producing “hybrid” musical genres that often lead to similarities with parallel emerged genres of other cities. The genres are becoming to a certain degree more “uniform”. The article is focusing on the interlinking of cities rather than on music in or of urban areas. For the popularization of musical genres (mass) media (man media, print media, electronic media, digital media) are of considerable importance. Finally transnational music industry and translocal networks are forcing global effects. With the digitally based internet a new digitally based force overshadows the dominant role the cities played in the development of “popular music”.

The article is a proposal on how to discover important cultural issues of a universal nature in work with a foreign audience using a literary text. The recent history of Kazimierz, one of Krakow’s districts, becomes a pretext to reflect on how one can decipher, through important landmarks in the urban space, the record of a (non-)present community, and address aspects related to the processes of urban landscape revitalisation, at the same time weighing the benefits and threats resulting from them. The literary project O_Kaz. analysed in the article becomes, in the author’s intention, a platform for discovering the historical record/significance of the place, supposed to inspire the target audience not only to start a discourse on Polish culture and the local ways of adjusting to the sense of emptiness/lack, but also to encourage foreigners to take a contrastive approach to the issue. The Krakow quarter, as a literary motif, becomes an inspiration for a narrative on the openness of the Polish society towards the Other with a different cultural background. The text fits within the discourse on the place of literary text in the Polish language education of foreigners and within studies in the field of the humanities analysing aspects of identity in the context of place, in this case: recorded traces of (non-)presence of a community in the urban fabric.

Artykuł stanowi propozycję odkrywania w pracy z cudzoziemskim odbiorcą ważkich problemów kulturowych o charakterze uniwersalnym poprzez wykorzystanie tekstu literackiego. Najnowsza historia jednej z dzielnic Krakowa – Kazimierza – staje się pretekstem do podjęcia namysłu, jak (poprzez znaczące punkty w przestrzeni miejskiej) można deszyfrować zapis o (nie)obecnej społeczności, poruszać kwestie związane z procesami rewitalizacji miejskiego krajobrazu, jednocześnie ważąc płynące z nich korzyści i zagrożenia. Analizowany w artykule literacki projekt O_Kaz. staje się w intencji autorki płaszczyzną do odkrywania historycznego zapisu/znaczenia miejsca, ma inspirować odbiorcę nie tylko do rozpoczęcia dyskursu na temat polskiej kultury i lokalnych sposobów oswajania poczucia pustki/braku, ale również zachęcać obcokrajowca do kontrastywnego ujęcia tego zagadnienia. Krakowski kwartał – jako motyw literacki – staje się inspiracją do podjęcia narracji na temat otwartości polskiego społeczeństwa wobec kulturowo Innego. Tekst wpisuje się w dyskurs poświęcony miejscu tekstu literackiego w edukacji polonistycznej cudzoziemców oraz w badania humanistyczne analizujące kwestie tożsamości w kontekście miejsca, tu: zapisu śladów (nie)obecności społeczności w urbanistycznej tkance miasta.

Worker´s colony Karlov was built by Škoda Works in 1913 to accomodate the growing number of its employees. Attached to the factory´s walls and thus spatially segregated from the rest of the city, inhabitants of Karlov built a retively close-knit neighbourhood community with a strong place-based identity. Based on the analysis of archival material and data from interviews with its former inhabitants, we follow Karlov´s voyage from capitalism to state-socialism at the levels of both macro-structural forces and it´s inhabitants experience of everyday life.

This text is devoted to selected questions on the border of the ethnography of Łodź and research into women’s issues, and thus joins the trend of women’s urban anthropology. The author reinterprets selected sources, such as various types of writings and field materials from the archives of the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Łodź. Her aim is to reconstruct the local ‘herstory’ from the ethnographic-anthropological perspective. She therefore looks at certain aspects of the life of textile workers and locates them in the context of the perceptions of femininity and the work ethic around which Łodź’s image (stereotypical and auto-stereotypical) was created

The article discusses the formation of urban citizenship in a small town. It focuses on a group of urban activists in Puszczykowo (Poland) and shows how rooting in a local community influences the engagement in public activity and causes a highly emotional relationship between local politicians. On the other hand, the ana- lyzed case study also shows that the local community activists are strongly internally differentiated, forming groups with different views and motivations. With the changing contexts and circumstances the local politicians may shift between them smoothly.
