The history of post-war Wroclaw distinctly presents both extreme and dramatic experience of the small communities of East-Central Europe in consequence of World War II. It is still possible to see somewhat cosmopolitan features in landscape of the city, a mixture of various long-term ethnic, national, religious and cultural influences - Czech, German, Polish, Lusatian and Jewish. Nevertheless, for near one and a half centuries, until the end of World War II, the Prussian-German tradition remained a dominant of the local identity. Post-war order ended the continuity of historic development of Wroclaw that became part of Poland. The essence of such a sudden change without a precedent in the history of these lands, was an almost complete exchange of population, Poles replaced the Germans. Polish immigrants presented a regional mosaic, with soundly stressed intergroup separatisms and antagonisms. In this situation a complicated, long-lasting process of integration and adaptation was a condition for restoring a certain community in city. The taming of the foreign city required a new version of a local history that was a subject to mythologisation, that was deprived of the German elements and glorified the tradition of the Piast dynasty as clearly Polish. Interaction between regionalisms, cultural heritage, and the great symbols of the Eastern Poland brought by the people, and post-German material heritage, constituted a specific capital of the city. Unfortunately, a communist orthodoxy contributed to the disruption of these processes and prevented the creating of a specifically original identity that would strengthen the sense of belonging to the city population. Wroclaw, for decades chronically underinvested and degraded materially, became inevitably provincial. Return to the idea of regionalism came in 1900s together with the transformation of the political and economic system. Finally thanks to the support of the local authorities the importance history of Silesia, Wroclaw and local culture for building local identity, was fully accepted.

The subject of this paper is a description of the type of local identity evinced by residents of contemporary towns and cities. It is based on the results of surveys conducted among people from small towns (of up to 50,000 inhabitants) on their sense of a bond with the town they come from and/or live in. The purpose of the research is to reveal the dominant type of opinion and feeling among inhabitants of small towns with regard to their ‘small homeland’, and also to explore how this relationship depends on sociological variables (age, gender, education, employment). The results obtained help to define those aspects of world view and emotions which build a sense of local identity, and which of them are universal or depend on the abovementioned variables.

Regarding the last ethnological, cultural anthropological, literary, sociological and psychological theories, one property of modern life stories is that they reflect the identities of a given personality. In this study, I would like to aim at showing what they can tell us about the ethnic, local or regional identities of an individual, a family or a given group - with the help of an interdisciplinary analysis method. This method is based on the combination of three theories: the theoretical background ethnography adopting narratology for text analysis, hermeneutic phenomenology coming from sociology and discourse analysis. I would like to illustrate some examples offered by the results of my research about the inhabitants of Galanta, Gabčíkovo and Komárno, which have mixed-ethnic population. The research concentrates on the frame of Slovak-Hungarian relations.

The article tackles the theme of local identity, viewed in the perspective of migration processes that led to the formation of the local communities of Western and Northern Territories. Analysis focuses on the town of Bialy Bór and the changes of identity that occur on its area. The text sketches the generational differentiation of the character of local identity in the dimension of references to the past of the group and the sense of territorial belonging. Another problem taken up by the author is viewing the ongoing changes through the lens of cultural diversity characteristic for the local community studied, and how the activity of the Ukrainian minority inhabiting the town affected the shape of the local identity of its residents.

This article focuses on the influence of the cinema on inhabitants of small towns in the Kielce Region until the outbreak of the Second World War. It is important to remember that film awareness among the audience in big cities and provincial places was totally different. In Polish pre-war metropolitan centres the cinema was one of many opportunities of participation in cultural life, beside theatres, concerts, revues and circus. In small towns the cinema was considered to be the most important form of provincial cultural life. Films were the main source of information and education that broadened people’s horizons. Watching films from exotic countries such as China which were called ‘scenic’, the provincial public had a chance of broadening their knowledge about the world. The participation in common screenings gave viewers an opportunity to express the same emotions like joy, fear, sadness and others. Films became a favourite form of entertainment of common audience. This article concentrates on several issues: the history of cinemas in small towns of the Kielce Region, legal and economic aspects of establishing a cinema enterprise, repertoire of small towns’ cinemas of the Kielce Region and a profile of the provincial cinema audience. The text is based on archival documents and press sources.

The contribution is based on field material collected in four Slovakian villages. It analyses the ways in which the inhabitants identify themselves with their own location as a specific space of their social being. Taking into account the wide spectrum of collective 'human' identities anchored in different local spaces, it is aimed at those in whose content profile predominate the signs connected with the socioeconomic nature of a village. It focuses on phenomena that accentuated - in the positive and negative sense - the affiliation to a location based on employment and existence models of its inhabitants. The contribution states that the importance of a 'community' and the endeavour for quality in social relations, which are based on trust and territorial vicinity, do not peter out in the country even in the situation of 'modern life'. Moreover, the local events have maintained some of its uniting features despite the fact that they are strongly influenced and constructed by dynamic, opposing, and changing external forces disturbing the relations to local culture and countryside.

Metylovice used to be a village in which the leather handicraft prevailed since the 17th century, changing the location's nature at all. The sudden and in fact unexpected decline of leather belt production and group of belt producers meant a great change in the appearance and structure of the village. Metylovice lost its regional exclusiveness and it blended with the nature of surrounding villages to a certain extent. Based on the extinct phenomenon of local leather belt production the process of the village community self-identification began gradually. It resulted in a strong relation to the past reality within a complicated process of forgetting and remembering in the course of the past fifty to sixty years. The specific extinct phenomenon of leather handicraft with whip production gained new qualities in the constructive process of collective memory strengthening. In the above case, the transformed ideal of leather-belts producing Metylovice plays a significant role in the development of strong local identification of the inhabitants with their village and its history.

The article deals with the restored role and significance of religion in Bulgarian society after the political change in 1989. The revived interest in religion covers a wider scope than the specific spiritual one: many shrines develop or reaffirm their significance as the identity marks of their region or of various ethnic and confessional groups. The case of St. Nedelya’s chapel near the village of Garmen is analysed. As a result of the author’s work as a scholar and of the activities on a civil project aimed at investigating and reviving the traditional heritage, the chapel itself, the religious narratives relevant to it and its two holidays become emblematic symbols for the local community. Subsequently the building of St. Anne’s church in the centre of the village is completed and a great number of villagers visit it on the big Christian holidays.

The paper analyses the importance and place of evangelical bishop Daniel Krman as a symbol in the local (the inhabitants of town Myjava), confessional (Protestants) and national (Slovaks) identity and memory. It examines folk manifestations, literary production and the societies, institutions and public spaces in Myjava that have adopted Krman´s name. The golden age of the institutionalized commemoration of D. Krman may be the first half of the 20th century. To date Krman predominantly functions as a significant confessional symbol, therefore Krmanesque festive culture is also closely related to the clerical and religious life. This symbol was usually pushed out of the context of various secular (public, national) festivals. The literary texts and ceremonial speeches written in the year 1940 (the 200th anniversary of Krman´s death) were marked by the resistance of the Lutheran community to the totalitarian regime of the Slovak State: despite the single attempt at the ecumenical understanding of the symbol, the literary image of Krman as a martyr of the evangelical faith became a tool of petrified confessional differences on the local as well as nationwide level.

Ceremonial wedding tunes (svadobne noty) were sung during the traditional wedding ceremony in Slovakia, usually a cappella by women, at specific moments of the wedding sequence with context-appropriate texts. Through village women‘s recollections of the wedding repertoire and ceremonial wedding practices of the past, the functions are explored that wedding tunes (svadobne noty) may have played in the traditional village life before and during the socio-economic and cultural transformations that took place in Slovakia in the course of the twentieth century.
