This article is devoted to urban (and anti-urban) issues in Wydawnictwo Czarne publications. The first part focuses on publishing as a media institution, and the specifics of its communication with the audience. In this case, the “locus communis” is geocultural space of Central Europe. The second part of the article focuses on urban space and poetics in publisher’s publications. To summarize: the publications in question relate to the idea of antiurbanism, creating a mythical image of the region, based on temporal, not spatial structure.

The owners of enterprises in a small town are characterised in two contexts. First, the entrepreneurs' features (age, sex, education, income) are presented against those of other inhabitants of Krosno Odrzanskie - a small town in the Polish-German borderland. Second, differences regarding the characteristics of social position and opinions on transformation among owners of various-size enterprises are presented. Based on this, the author attempts at specifying whether the entrepreneurs' features suggest their interest in the course of transformational changes (leading, e.g., to political and economical stabilization or the transparency of the law), their enhancement and acceleration. According to the assumed terminology, the emerging, as a result of transformation, of an element of social structure possessing the mentioned features can be regarded as a pro-transformation change. Data used in the analyses presented in the article are mainly taken from opinion polls conducted in the years 2007-2008 in Krosno Odrzanskie.

In the 1970’s Stanislav Stratiev wrote and published two novels: Wild Duck Among the Trees and Details of the Landscape. In these prose works the Bulgarian author describes the nature of the small town. The small town in Stratiev’s concept is a familiar space, inseparably joined to nature, where existence devoid of dynamics and variability often takes on oppressive stagnation and apathetic character. The small town space appears as an emblem of the Bulgarian province in a bygone era. The small town’s inhabitants, charged with a national stereotypical thinking, cannot overcome the cultural distance to the center of civilization and manifest serious problems with the assimilation of foreign values. People living in a small seaside town move in a familiar codes’ and symbols’ world and each change in this recognized paradigm evokes an anxiety and a fear. The main character of the novels, Sashko – maturing youth, becomes an example of a torn man: on the one hand – “fused” with the native space, on the other – saddled with inferiority complex because of his origin. A young man’s maturing process significantly changes the way of his perception of surrounding reality. Sashko wants to explore the world, and it causes the leaving of the native universe.

Drawing from the image of the shtetl shown by Eva Hoffman in her Shtetl: The Life and Death of a Small Town and the World of Polish Jews, the paper discusses the imaginary topography of the Jewish past in which shtetl plays an important role of the nostalgically reproduced and idealized space of an almost ideal community. Even before the Holocaust the space of shtetl undergoes various matphorizations and allegorizations in the writings of American Jews only to become even more strongly de-realized in the process which Rebecca Kobrin calls “shtetlization” in which even big cities like Warsaw or Lublin are transformed into places enlivening the silences which they have left behind.

This case study of the novel On Chicken Wings by the German writing author of Slovak origin Irena Brežná observes historicity in this novel on several levels: breakthrough moments happen both on macro-level (from the Stalin cult to the Prague Spring) as well as micro-level (autobiographical elements connected to the historical period in Czechoslovakia). It illuminates various contexts and subtexts through the term hybridity (H. Bhabha and others). It searches for the signs of the author’s intercultural translation (G. Spivak) between the East and the West, Slovak and German, the past and present, “great” and “small” history.

Sociologists and politologists often hold a serious and fierce controversy in the public and in the political press whether there has been an actual transformation of the social structures after 1989-90-es, or merely a replacement of the elite. Some maintain the view that there has been a constitutional regime change, but hardly any replacement of the elite. In this study the author tries to provide the reader with some additional information to the polemic on what kind of developments occurred in the eighties and nineties in the political elite of a small town, Mako, by using the tools of report-sociography. In the author's view, when examining the aspects of the regime change in a small town, we should not focus on trying to fit the different social situations within the boundaries of a single theory, but, rather, we should draw a map of the old and new political elite of small towns, and career paths of the members of this elite (based on the research in Mako and researches to be followed in other small towns). For this purpose, the method of report-sociography might be an appropriate tool.
