The article contains the results of research on the impact of traditional national legends on social and local identity development of children and teenagers. Thanks to legends, first passed down in oral form, then written, past can be witnessed in the present, and is the cultural heritage of the nation, region, and the city. Legends, in spite of their fairy-like illusion, provide children with answers related to the history of their country, its rulers, national heroes, and strengthen the sense of security, as well as comprise the cultural heritage of a nation. Traditional Polish legends were the subject of numerous changes over the course of years, and on their basis neolegends were created, including urban legends. Encouraging children to read legends and create their own neolegends in forms of narrative and artistic expressions, impels them to carefully observe their region, supports the development of imagination and activates creative processes. Carefully chosen legends, in accordance with a child’s age, not only hold educational values, but also educate by promoting noble values

The article is devoted to two landmarks of Warsaw and Copenhagen, and it additionally makes a digression about the mermaid statue in Ustka. The author chooses not to offer structural or omparative analysis. Instead, he proposes to investigate the convergence and divergence of the symbols’ origin, their roots and utilization in cultural texts. Finally, he encounters fundamental cultural differences between the two, not so distant countries.

The aim of the article is to present a fragment of the outlook present in the genre called urban legend. The author tries to reconstruct an element of human image constructed by urban legends which focus on the theme of various pleasures. The article comprises two distinct parts: a review of dictionary definitions of pleasures and a catalogue of pleasures which, on the basis of J. Puzynina’s typology of values, are divided into five groups: vital (rest), cognitive (hobby), auxiliary (shopping and accumulating wealth), physiological (food and sex) and psychological (bets, parties, drugs and alcohol). In the conclusion, the author compares the outlook presented in urban legends with thoseinherent in other examples of traditional folk prose.

Celem artykułu jest próba ukazania fragmentu światopoglądu gatunku tekstu określanego w literaturze przedmiotu jako legenda miejska. Autorka dąży do zrekonstruowania elementu obrazuczłowieka wyłaniającego się z tekstów legend miejskich, których hipertematem są różne przyjemności. Artykuł składa się z dwóch zasadnicznych części – przeglądu słownikowych definicji przyjemności oraz katalogu przyjemności, które – w oparciu o typologię wartości J. Puzyniny – Autorka dzieli na pięć grup: witalne (odpoczynek), poznawcze (hobby), pomocnicze (zakupy i gromadzenie dóbr), odczucia fizjologiczne (pożywienie i seks) oraz odczucia psychiczne (zakłady, imprezy i używki).

The submitted study focuses on the research into contemporary urban legends in Mexico. In contrast to Europe and other regions, these are influenced by three basic factors – the pre-Columbian cultural heritage, the strong influence of the Catholic Church, which is a breeding ground for folk superstitiousness, and the hitherto unsolved problem of Mexican identity. The text contains particular examples to illustrate the above-mentioned facts and to exemplify the difference between the contemporary and the European (Czech) legend and rumour. The author also points out the fact that in Mexico the contemporary rural legends exist. These become known only slowly, because their narrators and audience have only limited possibilities of using modern media for their more mass spreading. It can be said generally (and it is nothing surprising), that the rural Mexican legend is much more conservative that the urban one. The study is supplemented by a voluminous bibliography, which draws attention, among other things, to the basic works of Latin-American authors on this theme.

The article analyses phenomenon of the “exemplary stories” — apocryphal anecdotes often told at parties as realistic stories which supposedly really happened, but which are in fact variants of socially quite widespread, sometimes even international folkloric narratives. Also labelled as urban/contemporary legends, this type of narratives is discussed in wide theoretical and disciplinary context, including their itinerations in the modern mass media (especially newspapers) and popular literature. Finally, social and cultural functions and meanings of these apocryphal stories are presented.

В статье проводится анализ сюжета городской легенды в ракурсе сопоставительного исследования на примере популярной истории об исчезновении автостопщика. Сравнительный анализ был проведен с использованием оригинальных версий этой легенды в Соединенных Штатах и вариантов, появившихся в материковом Китае. Исследования вариативности этой истории впервые были проведены в 1940-х годах американскими фольклористами Ричардом Бердсли и Розали Хэнки, которые составляют основу для дальнейшего анализа восточных тем этой легенды. Китайские версии истории, проанализированные в этой статье, были собраны на основе собственных полевых исследований автора, включая этнографические интервью и нетнографические исследования. Полевые работы проводились в 2016–2018 гг. на материковой части Китая, с особым акцентом на Пекине, за исключением особых административных районов КНР (Гонконг и Макао) и Тибета.

This article provides an urban legend plot analysis in the perspective of comparative studies on the example of a popular story of vanishing hitchhiker. A comparative analysis was conducted using the original versions of this legend in the United States and the variants appearing in mainland China. Research on the variability of this story was first carried out in the 1940s by American folklorists, Richard Beardsley and Rosalie Hankey, which constitute the foundation for further analysis of Eastern themes of this legend. The Chinese versions of the story analyzed in this article were collected on the basis of author’s own field research, including ethnographic interviews and netnographic research. The field work was conducted in 2016–2018 in mainland China, with particular emphasis on Beijing, excluding special administrative regions of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong and Macau) and Tibet.
