The article discusses the relation between globalisation and local contexts. It treats the process of globalisation as relative with respect to the culture of everyday life, evident in the face-to-face relations (housework, workplace, everyday symbolic forms). It also discusses the problem of glocalisation, stemming from the discussion of the work of Józef Chelmowski, a Kasubian folk artist. Glocalisation appears to be a manifestation of the strengthening of ties between the local forms of culture and the process of globalisation. This relation helps us to get a closer look at the functioning of global awareness among members of modern society, at the local level.

CITY ANTHROPOLOGY AND MULTICULTURALISM

100%
EN
Multiculturalism has seemed an important term for ethnology for quite a long time. Alongside such notions as, for example, globalization, hybridism and transculturalism, it belongs to those terms which best describe the specificity of contemporary culture. At the same time, from the moment when cultural anthropology began exploring more closely the urban interior, multiculturalism became one of the most important features describing the nature of city culture. Within the field of the anthropology of cities many different theories and discourses of multiculturalism are germinating. Social diversity, cultural strangeness or the heterogeneity of the city style of life all are finding their own 'special' anthropological interpretations. This essay focuses most of all on the presentation of various ethnological approaches to the issue of multiculturalism viewed in the light of the anthropology of cities. It points to the ambiguity of the issue of multiculturalism, which appears as one of the most distinctive features of metropolitan communities.

BORNHOLM ISLANDERS AND THEIR CULTURAL BACKGROUND

100%
EN
Considered the prehistoric homeland of the Germanic tribe of Burgundians, Bornholm ranks among the most significant of the Danish islands, due also to its unique history, location, and culture. While ethnic and national minorities constitute a small percentage of the island's inhabitants, they have exerted a strong influence on the cultural life of society. Intense feelings of regional and national separateness among the Bornholmers are complemented by an openness to other immigrants from outside Denmark. Frequently, newcomers quickly assimilate with the local inhabitants. The Poles settled there since the 19th century represent one of the major national minorities. They brought with them their Catholic faith, which constitutes an essential feature of their national identity (sometimes termed a hybrid identity). Among other national minorities are Swedes, Germans, and citizens of the former Yugoslavia who came to Bornholm in 1995 during the Balkan wars. The final part of the article summarizes the main cultural events in the history of Bornholm.
