Anthropological concept of rites the passage in the sphere of pre-school education was applied in the paper. In the case of the ritual of appointing as preschool child one faces specific ritual as regards the place in which it takes place (kindergarten institution) and persons to which it is applied (children at the age of 3 and 4). The aim of a ceremony is socialization of an individual and integration with a group in the first place. Rites of passage share with the analyzed preschool ritual such features as rigid role scheme, structure of a ceremony of ritual actions, functions of a ritual, and the fact that by this ritual integration and cohesion of a group is maintained and the children’s bound with kindergarten workers is augmented. Although the ceremony of appointing as preschool child does not change the status of an individual, it performs important role related to role playing, international functions and the functions set on auto-identification of a child (that stem from group activity). Moreover, by the ceremony the youngest children can show their parents that they learn new abilities, partly different than the ones they experience at their homes. Methodological approach used in the study can be labeled as participant secret observation, close to the “participant-as-observer” category. The ceremony was observed in one of kindergartens in Toruń, in 26 children group, labeled as “Ladybirds”. Field observation was completed, firstly, by the photographic documentation (done during the ritual), secondly, by the ritual scenario (written by the kindergarten teachers), and thirdly, by the interview with the tutor of the observed group of children.

Zdjęcia trumienne i pogrzebowe stanowią zapis historii rodziny oraz specyficznego stosunku do śmierci, pogrzebu i fotografii. Możliwe, że są one funkcją obrzędu przejścia, symbolicznym domknięciem cyklu fotografii z chrztu, komunii świętej i ślubu. Zlecenia sfotografowania pogrzebu traktowane są dziś jako niecodzienne, nierzadko szokujące. Są to symptomy erozji zwyczaju, która w przyszłości doprowadzi do jego zaniku. To, że praktykowano go powszechnie jeszcze w latach sześćdziesiątych XX w. ukazuje szybkość zmian, jakie się dokonały w ciągu życia zaledwie jednego pokolenia Polaków oraz wskazuje na konieczność podjęcia badań współczesnych przejawów tego zanikającego zjawiska.

In this paper the author analyzes the tradition of post-mortem photography in Poland. The analysis is based on her own research conducted in the city of Lodz, as well as on articles written by other authors in Poland. Post-mortem photography is the practice of photographing the recently deceased. Photographing corpses of family members was an important, if not common, occurrence in the lower classes of polish society (especially in rural populations) in the 19th and the early 20th century. And it still exists today. The memorial images – now often deemed macabre or morbid – are actually artifacts which document an unspoken part of our social history and can be seen as icons of love and loss as well as the history of funeral customs traditions.

This article is a preliminary attempt to read the condition of survivors – those who were imprisoned in the displaced persons camps in occupied Germany just after the war. In this context author considers Tadeusz Nowakowski’s novel Obóz Wszystkich Świętych (Camp of All Saints), full of satire, grotesque and thoroughly soaked with sarcasm. The addition to Nowakowski’s vision is Tadeusz Borowski’s short story Bitwa pod Grunwaldem (Battle of Grunwald), as well as his poems from this time, e.g. Demokratyczne dary (Democratic Gifts), and also Jerzy Zagórski’s reports W południowych Niemczech (In Southern Germany), where the camps for DPs are compared to Henry Moore’s anthropomorphic figures sleeping in the tunnel. Separate reflections are devoted to the fate of Ida Fink, Shoah survivor, who was imprisoned in the Ettlingen camp. The writer mentions this time in the novel Podróż (Travel) and the interviews. Textual analyzes lead the author of the article to the conclusion that the narratives are proof of the inability to experience peace of mind in the time of freedom and generally the inability to return to pre-war times.
