本論は、伴侶動物（コンパニオンアニマル）の死とペットの墓に関する日本社会の幾つかの慣習について論じ、さらにアメリカとポーランドでのそれと比較する。この比較は、日本における伴侶動物の死について書いた研究者の報告（Ambros 2012; Kenney 2004;Veldkamp 2009）だけでなく、三年間（2012–2015）にわたって行われたポーランドとアメリカにおけるペットの墓に関する筆者独自の調査に基づいている。まず日本における近年のペットブームについて簡潔に記述し、その後ポーランドとアメリカだけでなく、日本で亡くなった動物がどのように追悼されるか述べる。本論は、それぞれ三つの社会におけるペットの墓の外観やペットの墓に関する慣習だけでなく、葬式や慰霊などについても論じる。

This article discusses some of the Japanese social practices related to companion animal death and pet cemeteries, and compares them with American and Polish ones. The comparison stems from the author’s own research on pet cemeteries in Poland and the United States of America performed over the span of three years (2012–2015), as well as from the findings of researchers writing about Japan in the companion animal death context (including Ambros 2012; Kenney 2004; Veldkamp 2009). After starting with a brief description of the recent pet boom in Japan, I present the ways in which departed animals are commemorated there, as well as in Poland and the United States. The article discusses funerary rites, memorial services, as well as the looks of pet cemeteries and pet cemetery related practices in each of the three societies.

Academic considerations regarding creativity and the status of authors in the 21st century cannot miss such important field as the Internet and corresponding new technologies. The aim of this article is to track and describe the social change in regard to creativity and its effects. The authors describe key contemporary theoretic approaches regarding the concept of creativity, pointing out that new social formations profit from the (re)democratization of the creative process thanks to popularization and common access to the Internet. The paper deals with such issues as democratization of creativity online, participatory culture and participatory inequity. The authors outline why those who actively create cultural goods online – the elite, now called the digitariat, the prosuments or the netocrats – are of special interest these days.
