The article focuses on the lyrics of select contemporary Croatian songs. The author attempts to decide what purpose they serve and poses and attempts to answer several questions. Do the numerous national qualities and references to the history, both past and very recent, in these songs reflect noble feelings of patriotism and satisfaction from newly regained independence? Or perhaps do they serve to help to close ranks before the next stage of the yet unfinished battle, and to demonize threats and strengthen the atmosphere of fears and sentiments? What symbols connected with Croatian culture and tradition appear most frequently and what role do they play? What is the basic subject of national pride, and, conversely, what is never mentioned at all? In what way do individual authors of the lyrics use national myths? And what is their approach to historic figures and events, to their neighbors (especially Serbs and Muslims) as well as to compatriots living in Bosnia-Herzegovina? The final question is: what influence do these songs exert on the contemporary national consciousness of Croatians?

This paper refers to Witold Wirpsza’s book Pole, Who Are You? which is a multidimensional cultural analysis of the phenomenon of Polishness, showing the origins and results of national myths. It shows that the character of the Polish national community has been determined by the development of the standard/literary national language. On that basis the author shows a dilemma of an individual in community, with emphasis on ethical, spiritual and emotional values. Forty years after the book’s publication the question posed in the title continues to provoke discussions, despite different political and economic conditions. The question forces Poles to define their place and attitudes to the integration of Europe.

Artykuł jest oparty na wieloletnich antropologicznych badaniach terenowych w Buriacji – przede wszystkim na wywiadach i obserwacji terenowej. Autorka stawia sobie pytanie, czy ruchliwość przestrzenna jest dla człowieka zjawiskiem naturalnym, pożądanym, psychologicznie bliskim, czy też bywa tylko koniecznością, wymuszoną i akceptowaną jedynie z potrzeb gospodarczych. Artykuł skupia się na apologii nomadycznego sposobu życia wśród współczesnych Buriatów. Buriacka inteligencja odwołuje się do odległej przeszłości Hunów i o tysiąc lat bliższego imperium Czyngis-chana, szukając w obu przypadkach wzoru doskonałego sposobu życia. Utraciwszy ruchliwy tryb życia pod wpływem długofalowych procesów społecznych oraz przymusowego osiedlenia i kolektywizacji w latach 20. i 30. XX w., Buriaci obecnie wracają w ideologiach i formach kulturowych do idei wartości życia nomadycznego.

The article is based on intensive anthropological fieldwork in ethnic Buryatia (interviews and field observation). The author asks whether spatial mobility is natural for people’s existence, desirable both socially and psychologically, or if it occurs as an effect of economic necessity. The article concentrates on the contemporary Buryat apology of nomadic life. In search for an ideal way of living, the Buryat intellectual elite relates to the distant times of the Huns and to the, succeeding by one millennium, Genghis Chan empire. Having foregone nomadic life due to long-term social processes and forced sedentism and collectivisation in the 1920s and 1930s, Buryats presently invoke the idea of a nomadic way of life in their ideology and cultural activities.
