The article presents the “do it yourself” (DIY) phenomenon which is popular in culture nowadays. It constitutes a distinctly noticeable sign of the return to craftwork based on manual work. The author treats this phenomenon as a modern continuation of old handicraft and craft traditions, while at the same time she notices its new functions and socio-cultural meanings. The author recalls historical contexts of the “do it yourself” philosophy in the culture of the West, as well as in native cultural traditions; she also presents current examples of activities of this kind, taken from websites and internet blogs. In the author’s view, the DIY phenomenon is situated in the circle of current trends of design, it is an expression of the criticism of consumerist society and is an ecological attitude towards the natural environment. It also remains strongly connected with the outlook of the involved people and social groups, as well as constituting evidence of people’s creative involvement in their relations with the material world.

The aim of this article is to show the specificity of celebrating annual holidays such as Christmas in Poland in the period of two decades of the Polish People’s Republic (PRL), seen from the angle of the private economy sphere. The theoretical perspective of the undertaken analysis is economic anthropology, which lets us look at Polish annual celebrations in the second half of the 20th century through material and economic dimensions of culture. The detailed source materials are provided by the private notes included in two collections of domestic bills run up in the period of the Polish People’s Republic by two families living in cities in central Poland and Upper Silesia. The conclusions drawn from the undertaken analysis let us notice that the economic way of examining the celebration period emphasizes the participation of products and material items in the building of a holiday reality. By focusing on the mundane actions of acquiring products and the calculations connected with them, one can reach the actual tissue of social life, the real undertaken actions and consumer decisions based on them, often resulting from local traditions and familial habits. Therefore, the economic approach in anthropology may be the key to recognizing the details of a cultural situation of a celebration, as well as the specificity of local family life and the character of the relationships made between people and between people and things.

The article presents multifaceted deliberations on the relation between the world of men and cars as objects involved in masculine professional activities, everyday and family life, popular gender stereotypes as well as men’s passions and games. The author tracks the nature of the man-car relationship from the second half of the 20th century to present times, referring mainly to Polish cultural experiences. By analyzing materials from two chosen internet forums, she tries to show the details of man-thing relationship, giving as the example the environment of enthusiasts of off-road vehicles. By undertaking the analysis of such a kind she tries to show how we can study the participation of a man in culture from the angle of the way of perceiving, feeling and using a certain thing.
