Many fields of study whose goals and methods differ in many ways have been engaged in researching rural settlement and dwellings. Different approaches to research and documentation can be traced even at different workplaces within one field. Comparison between the conception of Documentation of Rural Settlements prepared and coordinated by the National Heritage Institute in Prague and the questionnaire focused on settlements, houses and living prepared by the National Institute of Folk Culture in Strážnice as a part of the project Identification and Documentation of Traditional Culture can serve as an example. While the preservationists’ documentation observed primarily concrete material forms of settlements and buildings, the questionnaire focused on identification of folk culture and paid more attention to the relation of social and family life and customs. Many ethnologists and museum workers participated in both research projects. The results show that different concepts allow creation of many interesting points of view, inspire further research and offer many impulses to museums. Sometimes they contribute to the enrichment of museum collections and to the utilization of acquired documentation for the purpose of presentation through thematic exhibitions.

The aim of this paper is to analyse how Catalan proverbs can be related to several Greco-Latin antecedents according to which the house occupies a fundamental place in people’s lives. In these proverbs, the house is represented from two different but complementary points of view: the space of intimacy, in which every individual can feel safe, and the place where the socialization of people begins, so that it constitutes a microcosm governed by social rules which condition the relationships between its inhabitants.

Home as a space with its own material and non-material markers is defined, among other things, by social and culturally recognised standards for using and arranging space, which are usually reproduced, mediated and redefined in the everyday living practices of the homeless. Thus, although a flat is perceived as a rare good, a privilege, from which the homeless are excluded, by constituting an important element of human life, also in the situation of homelessness it is acquired through spatial location, the arrangement of adapted- originally not residential – space, or ways of practicing neighbourhood. The article discusses factors or circumstances which in the conditions of homelessness constitute “home – room”, “home – space of housing activity”, “home – space for relations and neighbouring”, and which have been determined by reference to the opinions and practices of the homeless.

A house of God is a particular house. According to the Orthodox liturgics the whole world participates in a service – the priest, the faithful gathered, but equally the temple build of a material. It forces the designer to familiarize himself thoroughly with the technical requirements concerning the temple and observe them absolutely, so that the designed home could become the house of God.

Dom Boży, to dom szczególny. Zgodnie z liturgiką prawosławną w nabożeństwie bierze udział cały kosmos, a więc i kapłan, i lud zgromadzony, ale i materialnie zbudowana świątynia. Zmusza to projektanta do ścisłego zapoznania się z wymaganiami teologicznymi dotyczącymi świątyni i bezwzględnego ich przestrzegania, tak aby zaprojektowany dom mógł stać się Domem Bożym.

The huge constructivist apartment house built in the 1930s in downtown Moscow, on the bank of the Moskva river, owes its present‑day name to Yury Trifonov’s novel The House on the Embankment (1976). Being an example of architecture typical of the Stalinist regime and a symbol of the regime’s triumph and dominance over man, the house functions as a very special character in Trifonov’s novel. It represents both individual and collective memory, shows the destructive influence of history and politics on the life of an individual and the whole nation. The House on the Embankment, related to the archetypal image of house, which is traditionally perceived as a space of love, safety and family ties, emerges in Trifonov’s novel as an anti‑house, a dehumanizing space in which the intergenerational relations are destroyed and which signifies man’s submission to and fear of authorities.

In Raja Rao’s novel The Cat and Shakespeare the existential quest of Pai, an Indian male, can be studied as mirroring that of Hamlet. However, Pai's progress consists in his resistance to the stereotyped power-imbued values of both ‘Shakespeare’s’ and his own culture, i. e. those related to colonization, radical authoritarian nationalism, caste, species and gender, the last-mentioned being the focus of this paper.

Selib 2 is a Meroitic settlement site of the 1st–4th century situated on the right bank of the Nile, 9 km upstream from the Christian pilgrimage site of Banganarti. Archaeological excavation in 2011/2012 was focused on two (of three recorded) Meroitic houses located in the northeastern part of the site. The mud-brick architecture was preserved at foundation level. Large amounts of pottery, stone finds and bone fragments were collected for further analysis.

Seven rooms were unearthed completely and another four in part during the second season of excavations in House H1 in Marea. Thanks to a stratigraphic test pit the approximate date of construction of this part of the ancient town was established tentatively as the 6th century AD; it remained in use until at least the 8th century AD. The building techniques and the plan of House H1 follow the Mediterranean tradition of domestic architecture.

Archaeological excavations in the 2017 season continued the investigation of the early Byzantine and early Islamic House H1 in the northeastern part of ‘Marea’. The building had already been excavated, but required further study to identify the type and function of structures in its immediate vicinity. Five stratigraphic trenches were excavated, exploring a well shaft, one of the wall abutments, a small cell added to the building, a sewer and streets with an accumulation of debris and rubbish. This also enhanced a better view of the house surroundings as well as their development in the course of the 6th century and later. A range of Roman ceramics from layers underlying the house was also discovered in the deepest of the trenches.

Nomadism in postmodern stands as a principle of diffusion, allocation of bodies on social plane, implying a disruption with any fixedness: with Homeland, Home, family, identity. This principle is based on the constant movement, changes of the body. The following strategy forms a special chronotopy: space is constructed rhysomically (astructurally, acentered with equality of all possible directions of movement), and time is read a a cyclic present or as deplyment of past-future (Chronos and Eon in the concept of G. Deleuze). With transition to postmodern not only a man became a carrier of nomadic features, but also the bodies of an objective world became nomadic. Miniaturization of objects , which is accompanied by their intellectual filling, allows them to not only dive in an act of movement, but also incite movememnt and form space for realization of their own movement. A car, which in modern performed the function of subjugation of space with speed, in postmodern changed its functionality to comfort, and seriously influenced the formation of the map of the city. In this article a phenomenon of autonomadism is explored (embodiment of nomadism as a social strategy of mobility) through automobilization of society. Theoretical basis of the study is nomadological project of Deleuze – Guattari and concept of paradygm of mobility J. Urry. Among indicators which allow to talk about autonomadism are chronotopical metamorphosis in the reading of ambient landscape of motorists and the loss of identity, which led to the occurence of a hybrid “driver – car”. The following study showed that in postmodern Russian cities – metropolis a quiescence is seen as deviation and is socially excluded, spaces of quiet ar colonized by cars, sedentary places are exiled from the city or demand high economical expenses, which makes the settled way of life unprofitable.

This article is dedicated to Vergílio Ferreira’s lyrical reflective novel Forever (Para Sempre, 1983) and presents the spatial analysis of the house. The novel’s protagonist Paulo returns to his childhood home. The house, which has been abandoned for years, provokes a need in him to review his life, which leads to a search for the meaning of human existence in general. Paulo, the self-diegetic narrator, is returning to the house of his childhood. It is the definitive return that begins the last phase of his life, the time remaining until his death. Wandering around the house, running down the corridors, up and down the stairs, entering each room, he finds a stopped time, rediscovers his past, and thinks about his future and his dreams. There are four symbols that represent the four main rooms, which work as the keys to interpretation.

The article is devoted to the issue of the diversity of the inflectional forms of the locative expression of the word dom (the house). The starting material was the Atlas of the regional language and folk culture of Greater Poland (today considered obsolete) against which the results of contemporary research were compared. This procedure allowed to show the vitality of dialectal forms in the modern language of villagers, especially the regressive nature of the described examples.

Artykuł poświęcony jest zagadnieniu zróżnicowania form fleksyjnych miejscownika wyrazu dom. Materiałem wyjściowym uczyniono Atlas języka i kultury ludowej Wielkopolski (materiał dziś już dawny), z którym zestawione zostały wyniki badań współczesnych. Zabieg ten pozwolił wykazać stopień żywotności form gwarowych we współczesnym języku mieszkańców wsi, szczególnie zaś regresywny charakter opisywanych przykładów.

This paper is based on the assumption that there is a system to conceptual metaphor and to its conceptualized linguistic expression. Conceptual metaphor is not a matter of arbitrary fixity. Individual basic metaphors and even generic-level metaphors are not isolated. There is a higher unity to metaphor that governs not only all basic and generic-level metaphors, but novel metaphors as well. When we understand a scene, including those described in literary texts, we naturally structure it in terms of conceptual mega-metaphors which may structurally unite the patterns of meaning throughout the whole of the text and find expression in various minor novel metaphors. As the subject matter of this analysis I have chosen the series of novels "Children of Violence" by the famous British writer Doris Lessing (1919-2013), the Nobel Prize winner for literature in 2007.

Беднасць сялян да 60-х гадоў XIX стагоддзя, да часу вызвалення ад прыгону, спрычынiлася да таго, што дом быў трактаваны выключна ў практычным аспекце. Паляпшэнне побыту на пераломе XIX i XX стагоддзяў, а далей трагiзм бежанства, выразна садзейнiчалi працэсу ўзнiкнення культу радзiннага гнязда. На працягу гадоў змянiлася традыцыя пабудовы i аздобы дамоў: ад аскетычнага выгляду да па-майстэрску, карункова аздобленай хаты. Сумяшчалiся з тым таксама асабiстыя звычаi i абрады, звязаныя з домам i яго сярэдзiнай, якiя з часам занiклi або захавалiся ў форме парэшткаў. Заняпад традыцыйнай культуры, мiграцыя, выклiканыя эканамiчнай i грамадскай сiтуацыяй, нарэшце глабалiзацыйныя змены, адмоўна адбiлiся на сямейных традыцыях.

Peasant poverty before 1860s, before enfranchisement resulted in defining home as an attribute in hand. The creation of family nest worship progressed at the turn of the 19th century, after the tragedy of the 1915 exodus (Byezhenstvo). Building and decorating techniques changed over the years – from ascetic structures to delicately embellished cottages. There were also many customs and rituals connected with a house. Some of them disappeared over time, and some got preserved. The decline of traditional culture, economic and social migration, globalization changes had negative influence on family tradition.

В статье рассматривается вопрос о функционировании категории «дом» в повести “Живой товар” Антона Чехова. Произведение относится к первому этапу творческого пути автора, поэтому в довольно сатирическом виде писатель задумывается над проблемами семейного очага. История любовного треугольника происходит на фоне трех домов – городского, дачи и поместья. В первом доме супружеская связь увядает, когда появляется любовник. На даче любовники пытаются создать свой собственный домашний очаг, однако терпят поражение. Парадоксально – в третьем доме, т.е. в поместье, муж, жена и любовник живут мирно под одной крышей. Чехов создает новый образ дома, который можно определить как периферийный элемент прототипической категории «дом». Тем самым автор находит символ изменений в жизни современных ему семей, которые нашли свое отражение в литературе того времени.

The article is devoted to the way a category of ‘house’ functions in a short story ‘A Living Chattel’ by A.P. Chekhov. Since this literary work comes from the first part of Chekhov’s creative activity, the author mostly in an ironic way scrutinizes the problems of domestic hearth. There are three houses – a city house, a dacha and a country estate where the story of love triangle takes place. In the first house, the relationship between a married couple withers when the lover steps in. At the dacha, the lovers try to create their own domestic hearth but they fail. Paradoxically, in the third house being the country estate, a husband, his wife and her lover live peacefully under one roof. Chekhov creates a new vision of a house, which can be referred to as a peripheral element of a prototypical category ‘house’. Hence, the author identifies the symbol of changes which take place in the life of his contemporary families and which are reflected in the literature of those days.

Celem artykułu jest przyjrzenie się jednej z „geograficznych” subdyscyplin – geografii domu. Ma to być przede wszystkim próba wskazania na możliwości jakie daje badanie domu współczesnemu geografowi kultury. Innym celem jest pokazanie różnic między polskim a anglosaskim dorobkiem w tym zakresie i dowiedzenie, że słuszne jest podejmowanie takich badań w naszym kraju. Artykuł składa się z dwóch części. W pierwszej dokonano przeglądu polskich i głównie anglosaskich publikacji geograficznych na temat domu i mieszkania. W części drugiej przedstawiono wyniki badań „domów w bloku”. Jest to przykład badań dotyczących domu realizowanych na pograniczu geografii społecznej i geografii kultury. Przedmiotem był bardzo szczególny rodzaj domu – blok mieszkalny. Przyjęto założenie, że „dom” to pojęcie opisujące relacje człowieka z miejscem i ludźmi. Relacje te mają charakter bardzo intymny i osobisty. Proces mieszkania to proces budowania swojej osobistej tożsamości – lokowania się w miejscu i czasie. Można oczekiwać, że będzie w nim zaspokajana jedna z najbardziej podstawowych potrzeb człowieka – potrzeba bezpieczeństwa. W badaniach wykorzystano jakościową metodę zdjęć kolaboracyjnych. Respondenci poproszeni zostali o zrobienie zdjęć na temat: „Moje mieszkanie w bloku”. Celowo nie doprecyzowano słowa mieszkanie tak, aby dawało możliwość wypowiedzi o mieszkaniu jako czynności i o mieszkaniu jako przestrzeni. Zrobione zdjęcia były następnie omawiane przez respondentów. Przeprowadzono siedem wywiadów. Badanie wykonano na przełomie 2011 i 2012 r. w Łodzi.

The article consists of two parts. The first includes a review of Polish and mainly English-language publications in geography related to the theme of home and flat. The second part includes the results of the studies of “homes in a block of flats”. Most of all, it is an attempt at identifying the opportunities offered to the contemporary culture geographer by studying homes. One of the aims is to identify the differences between the Polish and English output in this field and to prove that such studies in our country are justified. The study assumption was that “a home” is a notion describing the relations between a human being and the place and people. Those relations are very intimate and personal in character. The process of dwelling is a process of building own identity, locating oneself within time and space. It could be expected that the process would satisfy one of the basic human needs: the need for security. The social context of home is defined by co-dwellers, usually the closest family and neighbours. In the case of a block of flats, home space is the flat itself (private space), shared or not with others (in ideal conditions, with people closest to a person) and its surrounding – all the areas located between the flat's door and the entrance to the building (quasi-public space) and the closest surrounding of the block of flats (public space, e.g. car park, children's playground, entrance to the staircase). The distance in all those areas can be measured using the own-foreign category. In the social dimension, a home in a block of flats is a space where we know people occupying it (we know, e.g. their names, at least some of them). Each of the three areas has its own structure. This also applies to a flat. Its space, though of micro-scale, may be graded by its inhabitants. The study utilised the qualitative method of collaborative photographs. Respondents were asked to take photographs in the theme of: “My dwelling in a block of flats”. The ambiguity of the term dwelling was intentional to offer a chance to talk about dwelling as an activity or as an area within a space. The photographs taken were then discussed. Seven interviews were conducted. The study was conducted between 2011 and 2012 in Łódź.
