The text is based on fieldwork research in Naples, mainly on the analysis of in-depth interviews with Polish female migrant domestic workers. The analysis is presented against the background of re-traditionalisation of the institution of domestic service, caused by contemporary migration processes, which introduce serious asymmetry to the situation of domestic worker. Combining own research materials with the information from literature concerning contemporary and past domestic workers, the text aims at individuating and describing basic models of relationships between domestic worker and employers. The individuated models are: 'overt degradation', 'fictive kinship', 'professionalisation' and 'friendly professionalism'. The article employs symbolic-interactional perspective to show the interplay between models and perspectives and the ways the models are used in everyday interactions between domestic workers and employers.

The authoress aims to present her own attempt at understanding the methodology of Grounded Theory. Having assembled and analysed the necessary literature, the authoress tries to accomplish her goal in the following subsequent stages: - through the analysis of the origin of Grounded Theory's methodology, - through the classification of the methodology of the Grounded Theory to a suitable paradigm, - through becoming acquainted with the research procedures of this research strategy, - through the analysis of selected examples of its application in empirical research. Apart from the above, this article also raises a point of applicability and possibility of using the methodology of the Grounded Theory in andragogic research.

The aim of the article is to demonstrate that George Herbert Mead’s symbolic interactionism theory and Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective theory may find applications in the analysis of narrative (table-top) role- playing games through the concept of role-taking in social human interactions common to both theories. After putting the foundations of both theories next to the phenomenon of role-playing games, the authors point to certain qualities of the latter – namely, the qualities which could make RPG a useful tool for the further development of human self-consciousness and for preparing people for the enactment of different social roles.

The paper is a sociological commentary on work made during translation of scientific texts, in this case, some sociological texts (mainly books). It is based on the empirical research on 'translation work'. The interpretive perspective comes from the foregoing subdisciplines of sociology: sociology of work and sociology of management. These subdisciplines seem to be helpful in analysis of translations and may inspire the sociology of translation. The main goal of the paper is to show intersubjectivity problem in the systems of decisions made during translations and work on scientific translations in Poland. These decisions have often got an ad hoc character and are often based on business, not academic, criterions (lack of scientific editors of translations or editors/translators are chosen according to the financial criterion not the competence one). The decisions of choosing the scientific editors are also based on criterion of the editor's position in the hierarchy of academic-social-world and on basic and tacit assumptions regarding high qualifications and the expertise of editors (or sometimes translators) with academic titles. However, it does not protect us against the errors in translations and even could constitute the cause of generating errors. There is a lack of discussions on what should be translated, and how should be translated. The decisions and work on translations are closed in a certain 'square' of decisions (publisher, scientific editor, translator, author of original text) to which the academic world and experts in a particular subdiscipline have no access. Probably this problem concerns not only translations of sociological books but is also present in other disciplines. The texts recipients are ignored in the system of translation decisions. 'The closed translation square' (publisher, editor, translator, possibly author of original text) creates the other side as a 'square of reception'. The closed circle of readers is left without any knowledge about quality of translations, or without the communication channels that would allow any expression of their dissatisfaction or an intellectual and linguistic disagreement regarding some aspects of texts' translation. Both the translations' politics, and the lack of authentic scientific discussion during the translation of sociological texts process create the divisions inside the academic world that constantly reproduce and create the increase of poor sociological texts translations' quality. Creation of a platform for the discussion on the aforementioned topics can improve greater responsibility of the subjects participating in the translation's process, improve the quality of translation, and finally open the 'translation square'. Open Access translating projects realized on the on-line journals' websites could be some remedy to the 'squarness of translation' which by making the process of translation more open, could turn it into an intersubjective endeavour in the academic world.

The main goal of this paper was to reconstruct the process of constructing the identity of a mountain rescuer. The author was interested in capturing its course and finding the factors that might have some influence on it. In the first part, the theoretical and methodological context of a research, that was the base of the paper, would be presented, including the presentation of grounded theory as a research strategy that was used. Main aspects of the process - with its main stages, dimensions and subprocesses would be described in details in the empirical chapter.

Grounded theory is a procedure based on empirical data, elaborated to create meso theories generated through systematic methodological steps from the data. In his study the author present this cognitive and methodological approach which is little known in Hungary and is generally used in qualitative research. He also covers the historical changes and development trends of this methodology, which is of particular significance not only as providing information on the history of science but also because it sheds light on the differing paradigms of scientific investigation.

This essay opens to scrutiny the Anselm Strauss's social worlds theoretical perspective applicability borders problem. Applying a specific conceptual experiment that consists of an attempt to explore the 'extreme' phenomenon of the consensual SM communities by reconstructing the foregoing phenomenon in frame of the social worlds' theory, this argument is about to elucidate these elements of the theory, that despite of being hard to apprehend, comprise the crucial aspects of the analyzed phenomenon. A unique way of organizing the subjectively lived experience and shared definition of the situation (in this case the interpretations of sexual violence practice) could not be conceptualized on the base of the participant's subjective self-consciousness. The symbolic interactionist tradition is indirectly based on the idea of Cartesian, self-conscious individual that mainly express its experiences on a verbal interactional level. Therefore, tracing how the notion of the person acting evolves in the interactionist and pragmatic tradition (in which Strauss's theory is rooted in), facilitates recognition of this concept's potential limits. In fact, strict revisions in the area of subjectivity idea applied in any human and social sciences, that should not be overestimated in the foregoing context, allow a more theoretically conscious look on the social worlds' theory.

The paper is an attempt to describe social world of pigeons breeders. Basic aim was to look into particular aspects which constitute this specific social group in the light of social interactionism and theory of social worlds. The central issues were therefore values within this world, legitimating of commitment in breeders work, the process of becoming pigeons breeder and relations between breeders and their birds. All these issues were described in a wider context of conditions influencing pigeons breeding. Presented findings are based on empirical research conducted among pigeons breeders from one region of Poland between 2006 and 2007. Collected empirical data were analyzed and interpreted according to the rules of grounded theory methodology.
