The article focuses on the popularisation of tourism and sports among the working-class youth of Cieszyn Silesia in the first three decades of the 20th century. The author attempts to demonstrate how physical activity took on a political dimension and how its forms, for example sport and tourism, were understood as a tool for the education and emancipation of the working class. For this purpose, press articles on physical activity published in “Oświata”, a monthly journal of Polskie Stowarzyszenie Robotnicze Oświatowo-Gimnastyczne “Siła” (Polish Worker’s Association for Education and Gymnastics “Siła”), were analysed.

W artykule omówiono popularyzację turystyki i sportu wśród młodzieży robotniczej Śląska Cieszyńskiego w pierwszych dekadach XX w. Analiza treści dotyczących aktywności fizycznej publikowanych w miesięczniku „Oświata” Polskiego Stowarzyszenia Robotniczego Oświatowo-Gimnastycznego „Siła” pozwala zaobserwować, w jaki sposób owa aktywność nabierała politycznego wymiaru, a jej formy, np. sport i turystyka, stawały się narzędziem emancypacji klasy robotniczej.

Artykuł poświęcony jest prywatnym izbom regionalnym, kolekcjom, muzeom zakładanym przez stowarzyszenia społeczne i osoby będące fascynatami lokalnej przeszłości, historii, kultury i dziedzictwa. Z jednej strony są one rodzajem miejsc pamięci, z drugiej zaś są atrakcją turystyczną. Ich pojawienie się można wyjaśniać jako manifestację tożsamości kulturowej oraz reakcję na zmiany, jakie przyniosła nowoczesność i globalizacja.

The article discusses private folk exhibition rooms, collections and museums founded by non-governmental organizations or enthusiasts of local communities’ past, history, culture and heritage. On the one hand, those places are a kind of sites of memory (lieux de mémoire), on the other, they are tourist attractions. Their appearance can be described as manifestation of cultural identity and response to changes introduced, by modernity and globalization.

A social group functioning in Polish reality after 1989 combining features of punk and neoanarchism subcultures, associated with “anarcho-punk”, is combined with joint symbols, values and more or less direct social relations, interactions or social bonds. Despite some secondary local differences and ethnic as well as national flavour, neoanarchist environments and punk subcultures are treated as certain imagined communities constituting a peculiar point of view and “tool” for their participants, through which they perceive, interpret and evaluate the world surrounding them, behaviours or their or others actions. At the same time they are a “product” of “late postmodernism” and “mirror” in which the specificity and condition of the contemporary culture reflect and break. People connected with anarcho-punk through the network of mutual interactions within movement, both the direct and indirect ones, and thanks to numerous contacts with social system external to them very often use other fields of culture and human activity, among others decomposing the elements of popular culture in order to create their own system of references and meanings. Intergroup communication and jointly taken forms of activity play an important role in the process of identity gain or the choice of lifestyle as well as evaluation of socio-cultural reality. They are the means of conveying symbols, patterns of thoughts, myths enabling the interpretation of the world. Thus, they guarantee the”reproduction” of an anarchist discourse. Participants joining the actions within the movement do not only use the already-existing system of meanings, but also modify it and adjust to the changing socio-culture background. Such socially created and approved system of symbols do not only guarantees the continuity of the movement, but also serves the formation of new values, strategies or social practices which serve the group and their members to create new meanings, a critical description and working out the strategy serving the opposition in the light of dominating discourses, structures or centres of power. Thanks to symbols, repeated, interpreted, redefined constantly anew, the movement members give sense to their actions, valorize and structure the world surrounding them, define their own place in the world, interpreting their own experiences and direct their actions.

The text is devoted to the events that took place in the Polish cities between 2 and 8 April 2005 - in the period of the national mourning after the death of John Paul II. It seems that it was during this period that a national religious community and collective identity connected with it manifested their existence at the streets. The actions jointly undertaken by social actors, such as white marches, joint prayers, singing and numerous references to national and religious symbols, had visible features of the transitional period that is why the author of the article, analyzing the very socio cultural behaviours, refers to the theory of Arnold van Gennep and Turner’s conception connected to it. The phenomenon of this event cannot be considered without taking into account the means of mass media, their role in the contemporary world and power of their influences. Thus, the references were made to the theory of Jean Boudrillard and the qualitative analysis of the contents of press texts in the period under investigation was conducted.

Początki muzealnictwa na Śląsku Cieszyńskim sięgają 1802 roku. Śledząc jego dzieje, można dostrzec, że funkcji popularyzatorskiej i edukacyjnej towarzyszył tu zawsze pierwiastek polityki i tożsamości kulturowej – ten ostatni uwzględniał zarówno kategorię „cywilizacji”, jak i specyfiki regionalnej. Dzisiejsze praktyki muzealno-kolekcjonerskie, w postaci izb regionalnych, szkolnych izb tradycji i historii, muzeów prywatnych czy parafialnych, można postrzegać jako oddolne strategie ochrony regionalnego dziedzictwa lub materialnych artefaktów odsyłających do przeszłości miejsca i lokalnej społeczności. Inicjatywy te są adresowane zarówno do mieszkańców, jak i do osób spoza regionu. W pierwszym przypadku można je rozpatrywać jako miejsca pamięci (lieux de mémoire) służące budowaniu oraz podtrzymywaniu tożsamości regionalnej. W drugim przypadku stają się jednym z narzędzi służących konstruowaniu kulturowej odrębności regionu ujmowanej w kategoriach doświadczenia turystycznego. The beginnings of museums in Cieszyn Silesia reach back to 1802. Tracing their history one can notice that their main popularizing and educative functions have always been accompanied by cultural identity dimension including civilizational and local singularities. Today’s practices of museums and collecting, in the form of, for example, regional or school chambers of tradition and history, and private, nongovernmental organizations or parochial museums, may be regarded as grass-roots strategies to protect the regional heritage and substantial artifacts that refer to the past of a place and local communities. These initiatives are addressed both to the inhabitants as well as to the people outside the region. The chambers may be considered to be memory places (lieux de mémoire) for building and supporting regional identity, while the latter, i.e. private and church museums, become one of the tools used to construct cultural distinctiveness of the region and tourist’s experience.

This article is devoted to an interest in local folk culture, regional heritage, and the past of Cieszyn Silesia, as well as to methods extending back through the 19th century for the documentation, popularization, and protection of the unique cultural knowledge of the region. Attention is primarily given to the activities of the Cieszyn Silesians themselves. The author examines multiple sources, including local periodicals, for elements of local culture (folklore, dialects, traditional outfits, customs). He tries to capture how the phenomena of cultural heritage is defined both regionally and nationally, and also how it can be used as a resource in tourism and in broadly-understood identity policy.

Silesian Gorals in descriptions of journeys “to the springs of the Vistula” by Ludwik Zejszner, Lucjan Malinowski, Adolf Pawiński, František Sláma and Bogumił Hoff The article shows the image of the inhabitants of the Silesian Beskid which emerges from the travel descriptions of people who visited the mountainous area of Cieszyn Silesia in the 19th century. It focuses on the way in which representatives of the intelligentsia of the time, who came from outside the Duchy of Cieszyn (1290- 1918), depicted and created images of the nature and distinctiveness/otherness of the Silesian Gorals, and how what was highland was myth-making.
