For ages works of art have helped to constitute the shared experience of the world. In traditional societies it was the religious conviction that unified the community; in the contemporary world the metre for both artists and viewers is established by the institution: the Academia, the authority of the museum. In the times of the avant-garde movements the conventions ruling creativity as well as the forms of reception became diversified, and the resulting plurality of stances and viewpoints can be seen through three perspectives. The first one unites those artists and viewers who claim that a work of art is a political tool. Others form a community based on the principle that art itself is fundamentally political, as defined by Jacques Rancière. Finally, as Hans Belting argues, what bonds the community might be its relation to time, space and death.

The article focuses at the presentation of the significance of popular culture in the process of creating modern communities. The paper was stimulated by David Gilmour's concert in Gdansk in 2006. Popular culture is not only a sale product as numerous critics of mass media culture see it. The author treats popular culture as space in which most of the society lives and creates or negotiates various meanings. Popular culture (just like folk culture in traditional communities) defines the identity of individuals or groups. The author explains that popular culture forms space for socialisation which is not restricted exclusively to the young generation and hence deserves a pedagogical reflection, free from evaluative prejudices referring to its cultural significance.

The lack of financial resources needed to solve the everyday problems in Ukrainian local communities actualize the issue of working out new financial mechanisms to enhance financial base for local development. The effectiveness of participatory financing as one of such mechanisms is examined in the paper. Investigation of the impact of the mechanism of participatory financing of the European Union and UNDP “Community based approach to local development” on social and economic development of Ukrainian local communities leads to the conclusion that the method of financing acts as an institution which motivates the local community self-organization, initiative activity and productive cooperation with the authorities. The analysis showed a positive impact of participatory financing both on economic indicators of local community development in the short run and on the characteristics of the communities’ social capital which could be a factor for long term economic development. This conclusion is supported by regional experts. Generally they evaluate the scheme of participatory financing as an effective one. The main value of this model of financing is a synergistic effect (all the participants get result that they could not achieve individually).

From the nature of the church that grows out of the Word of God, it follows that the Church is a catechetical community that listens and teaches docility to God's Word. There is a wide variety of forms of that word heard within this community. We can legitimately understand the Church as an arena of different understandings of God's word, whose limelight defines the bipolar structure of God's mysteries. Moreover, the hermeneutical approach leads us to the fact that the form of our listening is influenced by our pre-understanding, without which we can not speak of hearing, understanding; and which also fundamentally affects our own form of hearing. From the anthropological point of view, each question is in some way a response. The Catechumen, who is catechised by the Church, could not be catechised without having done something like precatechesis - pre-understanding. Whoever wants to be connected with the Church is already in touch with it, to a certain extent. The Church was catechesized far before the formal catechesis. The actual catechesis takes place in the arena of different understandings that communicate with various pre-understandings. Here the notion of space is an allusion to the harmonizing and reconciling function of the Holy Ghost.

The article deals with the issue of local government cooperation policy, which brings many benefits, such as higher efficiency of services provided, economies of scale, better use of resources, but mainly better meeting the local public needs of the entities operating in the locality, i.e., in particular residents and businesses. At present, it is possible to implement in the policy of co-operation besides the traditional cooperation based on voluntary and institutionalized co-operation (e. g. associations and micro-regions) also the principles of shared economy, which allows the use of resources that are not sufficiently exploited for the sake of preference of efficiency at the expense of ownership.

Spain has adopted the tenets of New Museology and ecomuseums. Some of its professional museologists were founding members of the International Movement for a New Museology (MINOM), and created ecomuseum experiences including Maestrazgo and Allariz. The evolution of the ecomuseum in Spain has not, however, been studied in depth. Consequently, it remains mostly unknown what is the present situation of ecomuseums in Spain, when they were originally founded and what their key characteristics are. This article presents a study of over 100 ecomuseums that have been created in Spain, since the 1980s to the present time.

Modern enterprise is subjected to tensions emerging at the intersection of private and public sphere. It is obviously connected with a loss of sense of identity due to the objectification of man and bringing him to the role of an economic resource that conduces to maximize income. In this situation, the work becomes purpose and meaning rather than means of life. Unstable, floating rules of economic game- subjected to the criterion of utility- are reinforcing future uncertainty, unpredictability of behaviour and short term activities' perspective. The only thing important is 'here and now' and 'my own benefit'. The sense of common good and long-term, generational perspective are fading. These phenomena are reflected in the individual violation of property rights, as well as the general decline in confidence to each party of social contract. Contemporary economics emphasizes the importance of money, and the dominant criterion of individual's activity is seeking utility maximisation. Meanwhile the importance of culture - which includes among others moral norms, traditions, customs, religion, myths, symbols, language - is often stronger than resources understood in material way. The aim of this article is to show the cultural context of economic life in the workplace. The integrity of the individual and community objectives requires a clearly defined axiological agenda. We believe that the lack of legal and institutional governance creates pathologies in social, economic and political life. Individual crisis and problems with identity are factors which are not dealt with in the modern economy, which is just improving its world contained in numbers. Yet without a coherent theory, empirical data are devoid of any meaning. Learning about man and his development allow economists to interpret the meaning of human life and place of work in it. This paper accepts thesis that the role played by the man can not be separated from his inalienable value, which is dignity. Therefore economic life cannot be separated from culture.

The author tackles the question of communication as a tool for building and supporting the communion of persons, but a tool unable to create the communion. Despite the attempts of experts in public relations it is not possible to create artificially a community of hearts and minds if common values joining the persons are missing. This is so because a person is a relational being who reacts to the messages that are sent to him or her with all his or her being, and expects others to enter the relation of love to which it is programmed by the act of creation in God’s own image, the image of God who is a Trinity of Persons.

This study deals with the issue of communities in sociology, focusing on spatial communities. It attempts to describe the concept of community in time. It shows its presence throughout most of the history of sociological thinking and its connections to various paradigms in sociology. It points to a recurring emergence of theories in which community has not been utilised merely as an analytical concept but has been treated as a social entity within the social reality. The study identifies the most influential theoretical frameworks (typological, ecological, and systemic approach) and it highlights their basic characteristics.

The task of the article is to show the consequences of the understanding of philosophy by Jürgen Habermas, one of the most outstanding philosophers of our time. Some limitations in his philosophy appear in his utterances on the problems of man related to the possibilities offered by the recent achievements in genetics. As a philosopher he seems to be very distant from the reality of human existence. He proposes to cultivate a pure philosophy, striving first of all to ensure a universality for its solutions. This way he narrows the tasks confronting modern philosophy; besides, he wants to answer the questions concerning the humankind in a way valid for all times, making absolute the legal and constitutional frame being now in force.

The present interpretation of 'Trans-Atlantyk' focuses on the notions of 'ojczyzna' (lit., 'the fatherland') and synczyzna (lit., 'a son's-land'), understood as two types of community. The author has attempted at proving that any differences between the two prove to be apparent, and similarities strong, which leads one to a question about a 'community of laugh' (as shown in the closing section of the novel); about whether it is possible to read 'Trans-Atlantyk' without a disregard today; and, whether 'Gombrowicz's boat' has successfully carried any contraband onboard into our contemporary time.

The essay presents the notion and phenomenon of amae; one of the keyterms of Japanese culture introduced to international language of humanities by Doi Takeo. Amae is usually defined as the basic need to be responded to, taken care of and cherished in the mutually interactive relation which includes seeking and receiving the indulgence of the other party. The ideal model of amae is to be found in the mother/child relation. The term has no equivalents in Indo-European languages, however, the amae-type relations with their multidimensional (positive and negative) influence on social life do exist in every society including the Western ones; they help to maintain an individual’s sense of belonging to a given community, create proper environment for practical application of such ‘unpopular’ notions as responsibility, trust, loyalty and the feeling of safety. However, the positive implications of amae-like social relations still await reconsidering in the Western, deeply individualistic, world.

The Polish Stage of Tĕšín Divadlo (Cieszyn Theatre) in Česki Tĕšín came into existence in August 1951. It is a professional theatre of a Polish autochthonous group cut off from its motherland due to the arbitrary-border principles. The theatre is the institution which, mainly through a language and repertoire, carries out the mission of supporting the national identity in the foreign country and in different living conditions. The concept of community on the Polish Stage evolves from the primal ethnic community and national community into the regional community (Silesian). The primal ethnic community is understood here as a sense of belonging to the Zaolzie group and culture that is based on the acceptance of the indigenous values typical for this ethnic society. It relates to the a sense of awareness of the particular identity and of belonging to a particular group. The national community is related to Polish culture and its trends coming from Poland. The regional community (Silesian) forms the plane where the social and cultural community of the whole Cieszyn Silesia – both Polish and Czech region – can be observed. The contemporary concept of community presented by the Polish Stage maintains its primal national character.

The author discusses the problem of perception and understanding the community in post-modern reality. The question of functioning in the community and evolution of a sense of identity is considered as well. The author identifies some aspects of “being” in Diaspora and in relation to the Other/Foreign individual. The considerations take into account, first of all, the anthropological and philosophical point of view. The author addresses a question: Does “being” in the post-modern community have a new dimension? Significant terms of postmodern discourse, such as: Diaspora, identity of a Diaspora, hybrid identity, foreign individual, community of network or imagined community are also indicated. The considerations lead to the conclusion that one can be placed somewhere between an identity of Diaspora, widely described by Brah and Castells, and the Waldenfels’s phenomenology of the Foreign.

The article presents some of the linguistic methods of creating a community in modern commercials addressed to women. It is emphasized that in commercials, the communion is built around shared women’s experience connected to their social and family functions i.e. the roles of wives, mothers, grandmothers, housewives or, less frequently, a modern businesswomen. Commercials referring to typical women’s experiences and needs (i.e. cosmetics, hygiene products, clothes, baby care products, food, diet supplements and domestic cleaners) were chosen for the analysis. The linguistic methods discussed here include: rhetorical questions, quantifiers (each/every, all, whole, always, everywhere), the use of inclusive us (including the recipient in the sender’s world) and techniques allowing to gain recipient’s sympathy by flattery and increasing her self-esteem. Other methods include: the use of diminutives in commercials addressed to young mothers or the use of war metaphors in commercials stressing the fear of illness and old age. Finally it was stressed that in accordance with the intention of the commercials’ authors, by including the recipient in a group of people connected by the same kind of experience or problem, the authors also include the recipient in another kind of community: a community of happy users of the advertised product.

The author of the article suggests that cooking is a very important element shaping the sense of community. On the other hand it is a factor determining the specific character of the community in comparison to other groups. Food not only satisfies our basic need but it is also an act of great social significance connected with the history and culture of the community. The author points out that many words in Polish culinary lexis are remainders of influences of foreign cuisines (for example German borrowings like: bigos, cebula, kartofel, szynka). Moreover, the author presents some quotations excerpted from dictionaries and literature concerning Old Polish cuisine and Polish hospitality. Special attention is paid to semantic analysis of the verbs biesiadować, ucztować, częstować and raczyć analysed from the historical perspective.

The transformations of the contemporary world force us to rethink the traditional notions and concepts which have been perceived as the pillars of so-called Western world view and a new evaluation of complex relations of the spheres of reality which Western traditions tend to present as separate. Among them reside the visions of the ethical and the aesthetical, and the rapidly changing idea of the commons. Contemporary discourses developing relative models of reality accentuate mutual conditioning of what is labeled the ethical and the aesthetical as operating in the common space of our everyday experience and crucial for the community-making processes. The article is an attempt to delineate these relations projecting them into social space of a ‘small city’ as having a particular potential of creating a communal space.

The article presents the process of establishing and functioning of the community of Molisan Croats Diaspora. It shows a difficult process of shaping a common religious, educational, media and publishing culture of Croats, who were separated from their motherland as a result of migration. A gradual development of technology and culture and a growing consciousness of national identity make the Molisan Croats an ever stronger group which intensifies efforts to protect its roots and identity. In recent years attempts have been made to preserve the cultural traditions. A recent publication of several normative works, dictionaries and grammar books will make the future publication of primers and course books of Molisan Croats language possible.

The article is an attempt at theoretical reflection upon contemporary problems - upon the relation between individualism and community. The main idea in these considerations is the assumption that the community strengthens the individual and his/her individual development. Focusing on oneself and one’s own goals does not exclude the awareness of other people’s needs. The theoretical framework for the discussion is formed by the assumptions of Alfred Adler’s individual psychology, Florian Zaniecki’s sociological concept and the concept of intercultural education in its anthropological perspective of Tadeusz Lewowicki and Jerzy Nikitorowicz. These theories and concepts constitute a starting point for presenting the association between community and individualism. They draw attention to dualism of human nature, the dialectics which determines the inner harmony of life. In the context of theoretical analyses, the authoress notices that many potentialities of influencing both the individual and community are situated in education, including intercultural education. It facilitates self-determination and self-development. In the practical aspect, such education is a carrier of the idea of education as well as a means of organizing the learning, forming self-awareness and supporting the development.
