The aim of the article is to analyze the activities of the carol formation named „Koalicja Wschowskich Kolędników” – a group of young people from Wschowa in western Poland, who practice Christmas carol singing celebrations around the streets of the city and near villages. This recent phenomenon due to the lack of intergenerational communication draws from various regions of Poland. The article consists of three parts: 1) ethnographic description of the group, its activity and social perception, 2) locating it in the background of regional carol traditions, 3) case study in terms of tradition, folklore, invented tradition and intangible cultural heritage.

Celem artykułu jest analiza działalności Koalicji Wschowskich Kolędników – grupy młodych ludzi z okolic Wschowy (woj. lubuskie), która w okresie Świąt Bożego Narodzenia praktykuje obchody kolędnicze ulicami miasta i przylegających do niego wsi. Jest to zjawisko stosunkowo świeże, które z uwagi na brak przekazu międzypokoleniowego w formie i treści czerpie z różnych regionów Polski. Artykuł składa się z trzech części: 1) etnograficznego opisu kolędowania, prezentacji grupy i społecznego odbioru zjawiska, 2) osadzenia wschowskiego kolędowania na tle wielkopolsko-lubuskich tradycji kolędniczych, 3) analizy przypadku w kategoriach tradycji, folkloryzmu, tradycji wynalezionej i niematerialnego dziedzictwa kulturowego.

This contribution includes oral accounts of carolling elicited from the inhabitants of the Krasiczyn administrative district (the Polish gmina) in the years 1984-1994 by Lublin-based ethnolinguists under the supervision of Jerzy Bartmiński. The informants describe traditional local customs connected with Christmas Eve, the New Year, and the “Jordan” (a Greek-Catholic feast of Christ’s baptism on January 19); they provide the lyrics of stories, ritualised wishes, and songs from Polish and Ukrainian circles, both Roman- and Greek-Catholic. The records document the typical situation of a bilingual cultural borderland, where Polish-speaking informants can also sing Ukrainian songs. Polish and Ukrainian records of carolling practices are presented in two local variants: (1) the older one known as szczodrowanie (reciting wishes and the so-called Pol. szczodraki and wishing songs (called Pol. szcządraczki, Ukr. shchedrivki) addressed to the host, the landlady, unmarried boys and girls while visiting their homes; (2) the newer one, i.e. Christmas carolling that embraces three kinds of carols: (i) Catholic and Orthodox ones (deriving from official liturgies), (ii) jocular pastoral carols and those characterised by “home use”, and (iii) folk apocryphal carols that move beyond church catechesis.

Żywiec is one of the ethnographic areas in Poland where many elements of old folk culture have survived to the present day. It is known for its interesting folklore, folk art and rituals. It is a conservative region, but at the same time a creative one, which develops its culture on the basis of tradition. This phenomenon is wonderfully illustrated by the traditions that appear here during the Christmas and New Year season. Some of them have been preserved in a nearly unchanged form, such as in exchanging Christmas wishes, a green tree, and the scheme of Christmas Eve supper, traditional Christmas eve foods, and visiting others during the Christmas season. Some died out, not having any application anymore to real contemporary life in the village of Żywiec, like rituals associated with agriculture or animal husbandry which were meant to ensure harvest, bounty and fertility. Others survive in the form of entertainment or games, like some of the caroling traditions, where a feeling of unity and meeting with groups of friends and loved ones is more important than the traditional overtones of caroling as a magical charm for success. An example of these types of customs are New Year’s Paupers or Nobles, those which are typical of Żywiec and which distinguish them from others while also allowing one to identify with local society. Residents of the Żywiec area, while cultivating tradition, are also open to “the new”. That is why the local folk culture hasn’t stayed in an old or reconstructed form. It is dynamic and developing.

W artykule autorka pokazuje, jak obrzędy przekształcają się w rozrywkowe widowisko na przykładzie obchodów wigilii Starego Nowego Roku (13 stycznia) w miasteczku Dawyd-Haradok (powiat stoliński, obwód brzeski, Białoruś) i chodzenia z kozą w czasie ostatków w okolicach Włocławka na Kujawach (północno-środkowa Polska). Zaciera się sakralny sens rytuału, zapomina się o symbolice, na pierwszy plan wysuwa się aspekt performatywny i społeczny. Zmieniają się kostiumy przebierańców i dodawane są nowe postacie. Obok oficjalnie organizowanych przeglądów ciągle obecne jest w żywej tradycji spontaniczne kolędowanie po podwórkach. Niektóre elementy obrzędów, niegdyś skierowane przede wszystkim do młodych niezamężnych dziewcząt, obecnie są przeznaczone dla wszystkich gospodarzy, którzy przyjmują przebierańców.

У артыкуле паказана, як абыходны абрад трансфармуецца ў забаўляльнае відовішча на прыкладзе калядавання “Конікі” напярэдадні Старога новага года (13 студзеня) у Давыд-Гарадку (Столінскі р-н Брэсцкай вобл. Беларусі) і хаджэння з казой на запусты перад Вялікім пастам на Куявах у ваколіцах Улацлаўка (паўночная частка цэнтральнай Польшчы). Траціцца сакральны сэнс рытуалу, забываецца сімволіка, на першы план выходзяць перфарматыўны і сацыяльны аспекты. Змяняюцца касцюмы маскіраваных, дадаюцца новыя персанажы. Нароўні з афіцыйна арганізаванымі праглядамі захоўваюцца спантанныя, не арганізаваныя “зверху” абыходы двароў. Некаторыя элементы абрадаў, калісьці скіраваныя ў першую чаргу на маладых незамужніх дзяўчат, цяпер прызначаюцца для ўсіх гаспадароў, якія гатовыя прыняць групу маскіраваных.

The author analyzes how bypassing of the yards during calendar holidays has transformed from a sacral rite into an entertaining spectacle. This process is illustrated by the example of the Old New Year's Eve celebration Koniki (January 13) in Davyd-Haradok (Stolin District, Brest Region, Belarus) and bypassing of the yards with a goat (chodzenie z kozą) at the end of the Сarnival in Kuyavya Region near Włocławek (north-central Poland). The sacred meaning of the rituals is erased, the symbolism is forgotten, performative and social aspects come to the foreground. The costumes change, and new characters are added. Along with officially organized events, there are spontaneous tours of the yards. Some elements of the rites, once probably aimed primarily at young unmarried girls, are now intended for all people who are willing to host a group of masked people in their homes.
