The multiculturalism of Upper Silesia has been influenced by the combination of three cultures: Polish, German, and Czech. It is also important to note the influence from the Jews and the Roma which enriched the region's culture. Contemporary multiculturalism of Silesia stems from the rule of the Silesian Piasts, when colonization led to increase of German settlements in urban and rural Silesia. The multiculturalism of this region gradually changed from the times of socialism to become what today is known as contemporary multiculturalism. Today multiculturalism continues to flourish through the institutionalized organizations of ethnic minorities that uphold their cultural traditions. The multiculturalism of Silesia has always remained an integral part of this region and the cultural identity of its inhabitants.

The aim of the paper is to explore the presuppositions of intercultural dialogue on the background of the analysis and model typology of dialogical speech acts. One of the unexpected consequences of the postmodern developments in Western philosophy is a fundamental crisis of its traditional universalist paradigm. This paradigm is challenged by an ambitious pluralist one, which is rooted in cultural world diversity. The paper explores a justified philosophical answer to a possible intercultural dialogue. It also asks the question what inherent elements and what types of dialogue should create the basis of such an „intercultural speaking“.

The subject of this paper is the space in the context of globalization theories and discussion: Is the globalization a kind of homogenization, i.e. lost of cultural diversity? The theories of modernization, americanization, liberalization and westernalization are the kinds of possitive answers to this question. The text proposes another point of view. Transcultural flows, migrations, cultural diffusions and interactions, all do not decrease cultural differences. On the contrary, they reproduce, transform and create cultural heterogeneity. The most important part of this kind of explanation are history, time and its passage and particularly the inevitable and irreversible character of this flux.

The aim of the article is to analyse the multiculturalism. It was found that the cultural diversity is original for the multiculturalism. It can result in many problems concerning the ignorance of the language, different religion, different perception of time and space as well as in different cultural context of communication. In the organization they may be taken up activities leading to integration of staff from different cultural backgrounds and simplifying their interactions. Thanks to that organization is better prepared to act on global market, acquire resources and compete on the market.

The article presents the issue of different meanings of the terms 'multiculturality' and 'multiculturalism', which we associate with contemporary fashion for, and promotion of, cultural diversity. The author deals with historical contexts of meaning of multiculturality as the way of maintenance of one's own style of life in different ethnic territories. Next he discusses qualitative changes when we speak about multiculturality predominantly in the context of the city and metropolitan culture. The second part of the article focuses on the issue of commodization of signs denoting cultural diversity as one of the major indicators of current 'consuming' of multiculturality as a value which deserves to be promoted in the educational and commercial fields.

The author of the present study deals with the concept of learning outside the national framework with reference to global cultural diversity, which is seen as a constitutive condition of education. The author suggests incorporating the concepts of alterity and otherness into the education process, which students require in order to understand other cultures and also their own culture. In order for other cultures to understand an Other, heterologous thinking contingent on mimetic processes is required. The author gives the example of the inclusion of otherness-images in the teaching of history and points to the implementation of inter-culturalism in school education. European schools currently serve as contact zones for childhood and youth with diverse cultural backgrounds.

Miejskie „laboratorium” wielokulturowości. socjologiczno‑fotograficzna próba obserwacji relacji międzykulturowych w przestrzeni publicznej Białegostoku

Bialystok is a culturally diversifed city. Tis fact results in the presence of different cultural groups in the city public space, which at the same time becomes a feld for manifestation of cultural identities, and meeting (or even clashing) of these groups. Resorting to documentary photography, the authoress attempts at observing the instances of multiculturalism in the space of Bialystok in order to create a typology of local intercultural relations. Te laboratory metaphor used in the article refects the dynamic quality of the observed phenomena: diverse cultural groups, reacting one with another as chemical components in a laboratory, constitute the local community with its particular symbols, practices, and problems. Te public space they occupy and make use of is a place of a natural social experiment – the creation of a multicultural social order within the city boundaries

This essay discusses my experience as a teaching assistant deploying auto-ethnography to explore my racial performance and politics as related to informing and shaping classroom dynamics and relationships. Set in “Race and Cultural Diversity”, an advanced undergraduate writing composition course, I examine my performance of blackness and how my racial performance embodies commitments to racial and social justice within classroom happenings. Using critical performance pedagogy this study explores my identity performance to identify and create effective strategies that further dialogue on the often charged and sensitive topic of race, developing more awareness of how my racialized self enters and manifests in the classroom.

DRAMATISING CULTURAL DIVERSITY: YOUTH THEATRE AS A PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL MEMORY AND IDENTITY IN A MULTIETHNIC ENVIRONMENT

This article presents a comparative analysis of two ethnographic case studies conducted in local theatres in the Slovak town of Komárno and the British city of Coventry. These two locations are very different – one is a small town on the Slovak-Hungarian border and the other an urban centre in the Midlands region of Britain – and yet they are both characterised by the multi-ethnic and culturally diverse composition of their populations. The two youth theatres in question are also distinct in their genres: one bases its performances on folklore traditions, whereas the other is an avant-garde physical theatre. At the same time, the productions of both groups manifest a deep involvement in the representation of cultural heritage and the current social issues in their respective locations. Drawing on anthropological conceptualisations of theatre as a form of ritualised performance (see Turner, 1969, 1982; Schechner, 1985, 1993), this paper explores the processes and contexts of the enactment of past conflict and/or violence presented by the two theatrical groups in order to engage with traumatic events in local (and national) history. These processes, which embrace the values of cultural diversity and inclusion, are important for the construction of community identities. The liminality of ritualised performance enables actors and audiences to cross social (including ethnicity and class) and temporal boundaries. They reproduce memories of past violence to make sense of present tensions, such as growing nationalism and xenophobia, and to project their vision of the communal future. This often results in the contestation of the very meaning of place, community and belonging. Furthermore, the article demonstrates that such artistic interpretations of the local past and heritage are instrumental in shaping the identities of the participating youth. The comparison of the two cases also reveals noticeable differences between cosmopolitan and ethno-cultural discourses, which are prevalent in imagining the place, history and heritage of Coventry and Komárno respectively.

Intensyfikacja rozważań związanych ze zjawiskiem wielokulturowości przypada na początek lat siedemdziesiątych XX wieku. Szczególną wtedy rolę odgrywały środowiska intelektualne i polityczne Kanady i Australii, państw jednoznacznie deklarujących gotowość do konsekwentnej realizacji polityki wielokulturowości. Porażka ideologii asymilacyjnych w USA przyczyniła się do powstania wielu publikacji dotyczących wielokulturowości. Wielokulturowość ma wiele wymiarów, a dwa z nich opisał Janusz Mucha. Pierwszy to wielokulturowość etniczna, czyli identyfikacja oparta na cechach wynikających z dziedzi- ctwa przeszłości, a drugi – nieetniczna, stanowiącą rezultat demokratyzacji życia społecznego. W podobnym duchu utrzymany jest podział autorstwa Stanleya Fisha na: silny multikultura- lizm (strong multiculturalism) oraz butikowy multikulturalizm (boutique multiculturalism). Przyjęcie takich wymiarów wielokulturowości uświadamia nam, że zjawisko to jest wszechobecne. Kontakt i przenikanie się różnych tradycji, wzorów, systemów myślowych oraz stosunku do świata, Boga i ludzi stał się czymś nieodwołalnym i nieuchronnym we współczesnym świecie.

The contemporary debate on multiculturalism began at the beginning of the 1970s, but only on the territory of Canada and Australia. The failure of assimilation ideologies in the USA was the major cause of publication of many papers on multiculturalism, which was perceived as a panacea to any ethnic and cultural issues. Contemporary multiculturalism has many faces, two of which were described by in Janusz Mucha. He distinguishes the ethnic multiculturalism, namely the identification based on characteristics derived from historical heritage, and the non-ethnic one, resulting from democratization of social life. Similarly, Stanley Fish proposes a division into strong multiculturalism and boutique multiculturalism, the latter being characterized by its superficial or cosmetic relationship to the object of its affection. Acceptance of two different ways of understanding multiculturalism makes us realize that it is becoming more and more pervasive. Relations and interference of different traditions, patterns, ways of thinking and attitudes towards the world, God and other people have become something inevitable and irrevocable in contemporary reality.

This article deals with cultural sustainability, authenticity and one of its basic pillars: the preservation of diversity. It looks at constructions around the world and how they have adapted to local geophysical circumstances, both in the construction methods and materials used. It analyses how diversity has been endangered by globalisation in the territory of Slovakia and elsewhere. Subsequently, the article focuses on monument care and preservation in Slovakia and other countries, comparing the legal instruments used in different countries. The article proposes a system for the categorisation of objects built before 1947 in Slovakia. This is the key to better understanding the topic of protection of heritage buildings for professionals and government agencies dealing with monument protection. The proposed categorisation could help significantly in systematising the protection of tangible cultural heritage and building culture in Slovakia.
