In the current article we are examining the presence, importance and significance of weather and seasons in dramatic works of the Belgian writer, Paul Willems. Our study relies upon the methodology of patternsof transitivity proposed by Jean-Pierre Richard. After explaining the principals of our approach, then presenting the corpus of the studied texts and formulating our basic hypothesis concerning the weather, we are reviewing four weather phenomena: the rain, the wind, the snow, and the sun. The completedanalysis confirmed the calming role of the rain, the soothing role of the sun and the warning role of the wind. However, we realized, besides the liberating role of the snow in the introduction, its more complex significance because it “weighs heavily” on the life of the characters.

This text is devoted to analysing and interpreting different images of death in Snow Queen by Michael Cunningham. The author focuses on two images of death. The first is connected with biological death, the second has metaphorical sense, which I called “little death”. This “little death” is connected with depression and melancholy; this is a typical state of mind for the protagonists of novel. All heroes feel that their lives are empty. They are aware that in their lives, there is a lack of spirituality, the most valua-ble feature in postmodern life.

The purpose of this article entitled “The snow and the war in The Snow was dirty by Georges Simenon and Warna or the weight of the snow by Paul Willems” is to show how the snow is playing a structuring role in the two studied works: first, due to its ambivalent properties, it makes the plot switch, secondly, it lets overcome the reality of the war in order to explore general questions as fate, purity and redemption.

Cet article vise à montrer comment la neige joue un rôle structurant dans les deux oeuvres étudieés : d'abord, du fait de ses propriétés ambivalentes, elle fait basculer l'intrigue ; ensuite, elle permet de dépasser la réalité de la guerre dans la mesure où elle mène à des questions plus générales comme la pureté et la mémoire, le destin et la redemption.

Zimą 2009/2010, od połowy grudnia do połowy lutego większość terytorium Polski, a przede wszystkim Warszawa, pokryła się niespotykanie obfitym śniegiem. Co zmienił śnieg w mieście? Jak funkcjonowało ono w zimowej szacie, jak z pogodą radzili sobie mieszkańcy? Jakie nowe elementy przestrzeni miejskiej, a co za tym idzie, nowe praktyki życia codziennego można było zaobserwować? Na podstawie artykułów z prasy codziennej, komentarzy do tekstów z portali internetowych oraz tekstów blogów autorka proponuje typologię oraz analizę postaw warszawiaków wobec kolejnej zimy stulecia. Tekst napisany został na podstawie obserwacji uczestniczącej oraz analizy dyskursu i wykorzystuje perspektywę antropologii miasta i antropologii codzienności.

It was in winter 2009/2010, from mid-December to mid-February, that almost all Poland, especially Warsaw, faced exceptionally heavy snow falls. What did the snow falls change in the city? How was city life affected by those winter conditions, how did the inhabitants deal with the snow? What new elements were introduced in the urban space and what new kinds of everyday life practices emerged? We present our own take on the city-users’ attitude toward the heavy winter, based on press news, on-line comments and blog entries. This paper is based on participant observation and discourse analysis, including urban anthropology and anthropology of everyday life.
