The notion of memory, perceived as an important cognitive category and basic concept in anthropological studies, has recently found its central place in the area of interest of ethnologists and anthropologists. They emphasize the importance of memory for the stability of communities, for cultural transmission as well as for preserving cultural heritage and cultural identity of groups. Worth mentioning is the analysis of the relationship between memory and narratives. Different kinds of memory have been distinguished here: memoria, post-memory, counter-memory, axiological memory, etc. According to the authoress' opinion the participants of the 'discourse on memory' in social sciences seem not to remember that, for researchers dealing with cultural studies, memory has always been considered a source of knowledge. However, it was treated in an instrumental way, its existence didn't require any deeper reflection. It was the content of tradition (both oral and written) that mattered. Particular parts of reality, which couldn't be reached by informant's memory and/or simply forgotten were pointed out as limitations not allowing to experience them. At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s the period of essential economic and social transformations began in Central and Eastern Europe (the Berlin Wall was pulled down, Soviet Union and the Eastern bloc collapsed). The transformations seem to continue till now. They are accompanied by the biographical boom and reflection not only on history of particular states and nations but also on narratives concerning that history. Need of 'filling in the missing pages' of history was often emphasized. Silence was broken concerning dramatic experiences of groups and individuals, before and during the WW II as well as in communist times. Not everybody wants to remember the past and doesn't aim at acquiring true knowledge about it. Moreover, different ways of perceiving the same historical events may cause divisions and conflicts. The example mentioned here is the case of Lithuanians and Poles living in the Republic of Lithuania. In all post-communist countries the first, euphoric period after the change of the system was followed by the phenomenon of nostalgia for the former socialist time. It is opposed to the present time and is presented as the happy days of welfare state when there was no unemployment and 'the ordinary man' was paid salary sufficient to buy more cheap goods than now. Another feature of that imagined past are good interpersonal relationships. However, the phenomenon of nostalgia is not limited to the countries belonging once to the Soviet bloc. Chantal Mouffe points out that it can be noticed in many different countries among those social groups that can't cope with the new reality. Many young people (20-30 years) interviewed by the authoress say that they would like to live in 'good socialist times'. First of all because of: lack of unemployment, social security, cheap goods, general predictability, hope for better future. Question arises, whether all the negative aspects of quite recent past were forgotten or the young people simply kept in their memory only what was important for them? What are the mechanisms determining the subject of a narrative and what remains in the memory of both the narrator and the listeners?

The article opens with the 'burgher-philistine' stereotype, so widespread in the Young Poland (modernist) period and so deeply rooted in views expressed in the late 19th/early 20th century as well as in later-date afterthought. A polemic with this image follows, with a focus on how diversified the townspeople milieu in fact was - with creative artists participating in it - and reference is made to the literature of personal document. The essay's second part deals with related methodological issues. The distance between the scholar and his/her object turns out hard to overcome, whilst the dominance relationship remains there. Hence, the need appears to negotiate a different language and problematisation method.

This paper aims at discussing certain problems related to the effectiveness of prevention campaigns as observed during the programme against HIV/AIDS which took place among empoverished populations in a peri-urban part of Beira in Mozambique. As far as the evalution study of the programme has shown, the resistance to some messages diffused during the prevention campaigns cannot be explained only in terms of vulnerability of people concerned, nor as a problem of local culture. On the contrary, there should be more concern for complex solutions to the epidemic since it represents a fait social total.

The analyzed skeletal bones of the Corded Ware Culture were unearthed by Marcin Rudnicki during surveys at the site nr 6 in Pelczyska, between 2002 and 2004. The material was examined in accordance with the applicable anthropological standards and anatomic bone descriptions. The age of the deceased at the moment of death was established upon a complex, multi-feature analysis of changes that occurred in individual morphological features of bones and teeth. After having combined the bones from the studied complexes the remains of eight individuals were given anthropological description. Half of individuals had deceased in their mature age (adultus-maturus), while the children in their early childhood (infans I). As far as the mature individuals are concerned, two sets of the bone remains indicated the presence of men, whereas the remaining two were of typically female character. Due to the not entirely completed development processes, and consequently, morphological ambiguity of the bones, the sex of the infants was not established.

In this essay author thesis, that tradition of Judaism and Christian has built and assigned to man metaphysical status of the nomad. As the result, human condition has shown in these categories can not see paradigms which are connected with homestead, rooting, places for live, habitation. As a matter of fact, a place so far called 'homestead' creates only a place for stopover. Moreover 'homestead' seems to be a place for a moment or longer place of acquisitive prescription. Author has convinced, every sign of the homestead is an illusion and truth about human being's situation consists of consternation in the face of spaces immersed in the eternal silence. Perhaps, connection of human being with the idea of the homestead is a specific way of lying self and grow away from death consciousness. That is why, home can be a diaphragm of grave idea. As she confirms, José Saramago's creativity makes possibility for this specific reading, where are presented keys words such as: monotheistic legacy and cryptology constitutes a knowledge about human, but deduced from negative attributes of the God. Author makes a trial and proofs - if we start from point of Judaism and Christian tradition will turn out, that there was no homestead or rooting phenomenon, only illusion. Because the man lived somewhere only till the moment of special call for example as Abraham, who waited till God's call or lived somewhere till the moment of banishment. Homeliness, staying too long, living (or land, family and his father's house from biblical narrative) - all of these belong to the impurity order. There are many parables and stories in the José Saramago's creativity which describe this tragic dimension of the human being condition. It is not only dilemma about man, who became such a loner without right place for live nor outside neither inside, it shows also that every place which constitutes human being existence is a place as every rootedness - contaminated in the irreversible way.

The revival interest of anamorphosis, especially among postmodern theorists, may at first appear puzzling, due to its seeming reliance upon notions subjectivity and a general hostility to the objectivity of perspective construction. In perspective construction the picture is conceived of as a window, whereby depicted objects (or images) not parallel to picture plane are foreshortened as they are projected onto that plane as seen from a fixed eye position (the projection point). In anamorphosis, the same geometrical laws are used to stretch or elongate a image so that it appears distorted on the picture plane. Perhaps the apparent subjectivity of all this (namely, that the world appears differently from different points of view) explains the appeal of anamorphosis among some contemporary writers but sometimes metaphors construed on this base are wrong and confused. The author has begun its article with the regerence to Bruno Latour who uses anamorphosis as a metaphor for the conflict between science and religion from about 1450 to 1550. He uses, as a crucial example, Holbein's 'The Ambassadors', a painting that conveniently fits into his time period. Latour uses anamorphosis as a metaphor because he sees within the phenomenon an opposition between two incompatible viewpoints. The author believes that Latour's interpretation (it is not impossible to view both the skull unskewed and the ambassadors) is wrong and it is possible to see both parts of composition. Thus, he supposes, it is possible to break up created for him opposite of scientific to religious vision of World in 17th century. This paper tries to reconstruct scientific and religious influences in creation new ideas of architectural representation especilly in connection with anamorphosis as a instrument of representation.

(Title in Romani language: E mitenqeri rola and-o akanutno proceso e kulturalone emancipaciaqero maskar Bulgariaqere Rromente). The article aims to represent and classify the history and changes in Romani myths and their interaction with macrosociety. This is done with the belief that myths play an important role in the identity formation of the Roma and performs a formative function not only on the abstract mythical level but also in everyday real interactions among members of the community. As proof will be given new attempts to reformulate and present Romani mythology in a positive light by contemporary Romani intellectuals. This will be considered as a significant part of the contemporary Romani ethnogenesis, attempting to upgrade the status of the Roma as rightful citizens and change the existing negative macrosocial perceptions.

Social role has a strong influence on people, they want to properly fulfil their roles to gain acceptation. At the same time, living in a predictable and comprehensible world demands that others behave according to their roles. The roles we fulfil have a great impact on our identity, other people perceive us and we perceive ourselves through the roles. The thesis of this article is that religion is the scriptwriter of social roles. As an example we take communities built on religion: Judaism and Karaism. These minorities survived until today having their own tradition and identity. The phenomenon is based on dualistic approach to woman's role in the community. On one hand they have been limited to the role of a mother and a wife, on the other hand they have been burdened with responsibility for survival - in a physical and metaphorical sense - of the community. The transmission of cultural heritage and identity of Jews and Karaites depended on them. Both the theory of social roles and religious laws and traditions will be shown outlining their influence on shaping woman's role in the community back then as well as nowadays.

The article deals with the press commentary of the last days of Pope John Paul's II life as well as all other events which followed his death. It is based on articles and information published between March 24 and April 14, 2005 in 'Gazeta Wyborcza', the biggest daily newspaper in Poland. It has branches in the capitals of all provinces of the country and represents the democratic-liberal option. Main characters of the narrative are: 'the Polish Pope' and the society referred to as people, nation, the Poles, crowd, the believers but also particular social or professional groups. The main narrator is the daily paper itself. According to Roland Barthes contemporary discourse includes 'grand-narratives', i.e. literature, novels (also popular), etc. as well as 'small information' in the daily press. The authoress of this text is also a narrator. The publications in the newspaper can be defined as a set of auto-narratives. Their authors are both the journalists and the active participants of successive stages of the national mystery. Three narrative threads have been presented in the article: (1) The last days of John Paul's II life; (2) From the moment of his death on Saturday April 2 to the funeral ceremony on Friday, April 8; (3) From the funeral to the end of the first week of the mourning period. The auto-narratives presented in the article make very valuable source for the studies in ethnology/anthropology as well as in sociology and social psychology. They are a very important contribution to the knowledge of the value system of contemporary Polish society. According to the texts from the newspaper under consideration, following qualities can be attributed to the mentioned society: kindness, generosity, solidarity, resourcefulness, conciliatory spirit and mysticism. Poles are said to be splendid and worthy of admiration. It's indisputable that this is just a statement of desired values attributed to Poles, but not put into practice by the majority. Nevertheless, in the meaningful, traumatic days, the days of the Pope's dying, his death and mourning, they came to the fore. 'Wyborcza' emphasized the human dimension of the Pope's sufferings and his struggle for life. At the same time those events were invested with divine Christ-like dimension since the drama of the Pope's life and death took place in very special time - Holy Week and Easter. Against all the hopes of the faithful the Holy Father 'lost' the battle for his life. He didn't manage to overcome his illness, but he has changed the world, he has started its moral revival and bonded and improved Polish society. The daily 'Wyborcza' was painstaking about mentioning examples of such improvement.

The Essay is concentrated on the most famous lecture of Mariusz Wilk. His publication confronts reader with creative, reformed literature. Moreover, reader will come across fascinated structure, in which he can find there mosaic of reportage, essay, dairy, and what is more important - these all sorts constitute not only - notes from the journey, but also experience, which is connected with domesticated issue. Author makes a question - what exactly is 'making a home place' or 'domesticated'? is this category realized only during the text level? As he has assured, in the Wilk's creativity it is not going only about rooting issue, which constitutes a borderline for human being, keep the man in a one place, border his possibility of absorption. In the 'Wolf's notebook', there is domestication as a state of settled down process, as assimilation process, tame process, which has exceeded otherness. As a result, otherness has a special capability, that is why - domesticated is focus on identity process. On the one hand, as author confirms - if reader will ask about author - there is not only one creators, there are two of them. First - makes a description of the experienced reality, and second - makes a trial of domestication in other motherhood culture. One the other hand, author of 'Wolf's notebook' is also a narrator, what makes other paradoxically oppositions such as: newcomer and native, he feels also 'like home', but also like a stranger. Author has convinced, it is possible to say, that character of the notebook has promised himself to achieve place to live on this world and maybe constitute renewed identity. She uses Ryszard Nycz's quotation and says - it is not possible to separate author from his experiences and telling the story, because between 'being stranger' and trial of domestication is situated additional identity trait - 'being writer'. Main character tries to convince reader, that only trial of rootedness gives cognitive possibilities, and as the result, struggle is a statement of text, which is much more real, than reality at all.

Around five millennia ago the Chinese developed spectacular rituals concerning afterlife beliefs. Funerals could always been perceived as theatre-like cultural performances. The ancestor cult is a base for Chinese morality. Theatrical performances are one of the means of ghosts worship. Until recently the performance of mourning could have been considered a social spectacle.The classical music theatre of China (xiqu) constitutes a vivid illustration of beliefs in constant commune with souls of the dead. Traditional dramatic literature provides many examples of female-ghost characters. They are usually protagonists, who put a moral thesis forward and convey the educational message of the theatre piece. Actors' make-up as well as theatre puppets have presumably funeral origins. Afterlife beliefs could be regarded as one of the sources of Chinese theatre.

The paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork among converts from Catholicism to a marginal Hindu-rooted, female dominated new religious movement in Poland, the Brahma Kumaris, and explores the role of silence in the religious practices and everyday lives of its members. It argues that silence is a performative act in reconstruction of the respondents' informants' gender identity and is perceived by them as form of self-valuation. From the perspective of the feminist discourse, particularly Western liberal feminism, as well as within cultural anthropology silence is often interpreted as a lack of power and opposition to speech. But drawing on the respondents' experiences, silence can also be understood as and expression of strength and a means of resistance. The authoress presents the ways how middle class, urban women have resort to silence in their aim to deal better with the problems of everyday life as well as with those of economic and cultural transition, Western-style feminism, and Polish Catholicism.

The main goal of this paper is presentation and interpretation of contemporary apocalyptic narrations which have been collected in the Polish Catholic community. Those narratives are called apocalyptic scripts in the article. The authoress focuses on the multiple sources of apocalyptic knowledge based on various systems (e.g. religious, scientific) and ways of its interpretation in the constantly changing context. On the one hand, apocalyptic beliefs are being modified and supplemented with current information from media. On the other - such information may obtain new meaning if perceived in the light of apocalyptic prophecies. The article analyzes also the way of thinking about the time as a separate category in the chosen community in terms of both linear and cyclic conceptions of time. It also deals with speculations about the date and sings of forthcoming apocalypse. The authoress presents information about the Doomsday which characterize apocalypse in two different categories: as a miraculous event or a rational consequence of human activity (e.g. nuclear war). Finally, also beliefs concerning resurrection and Final Judgment are presented in this article.

He describes striking similarities between traditional peasant life in today's Ethiopia and life in medieval England in style of houses, customs relating to food and drink, family life and social organization.

The article discusses the adaptation process of repatriates, the practical value of ethnic stereotyping and its relation with everyday communication. The paper seeks to answer the question to which extent is the stereotyping process related with biography and the actualisation of stereotypes in specific situations? The analysis is based on interviews with two Estonian repatriates from Siberia following the public unrest related to the relocation of the bronze statue of a Soviet soldier in Tallinn in April 2007. The author concludes that reciprocal ethnic stereotypes are directly linked to biographical situations, and also to the idea that ethnic stereotypes might be of huge importance in the orientation and identification of a person in a specific biographical situation, while being quite marginal or non-existent in another. Stereotypes are never isolated and are closely related to other cognitive schemes, while shaping people's attitudes and behaviour. In recent years several studies on the Russian population's loyalty to Estonia, their willingness to learn the official language, adjust themselves to the cultural and political values in Estonia, and apply for Estonian citizenship have been undertaken. While learning about the population's orientation, individual self-identification conditioned by a specific biographical situation has to be seriously considered. The author claims that the use of ethnological methods (dense description, in-depth interviews) may contribute greatly to the study of national stereotypes and, in turn, to the study of national conflicts and xenophobia.

This text is devoted to two most frequent and yet extremely different emotional attitudes of man toward other animals. These include: apparent interspecies approximation, consisting in cramming animals into patterns of specifically inter-human relations, and, a conviction that there occurs a total difference between 'them' and 'us', which triggers fear, if not aggression, in humans. Both of those positions and the resulting practice appear to be purely anthropocentric, in effect. However, along with changing consciousness and the language we use, such anthropocentrism is weakened and becomes, in many circles, a groundless attitude, if not arrogant and anachronistic indeed.

The paper offers an analysis of the contemporary touristic (in the sense of MacCannel, 1976) experience based on the accounts of South African travels published in the Polish press in the years 2000-2006. Considerations following thorough readings of travel accounts and the accompanying photographs complement the theoretical attempt to explain the authenticity of touristic experience made by MacCannel in his work viewed as a classic today. Since the solutions proposed by the American scholar are not sufficient, the argument is conducted here along the lines of the post-modern thinkers like Slavoj Zizek whose findings enable us to elucidate the contemporary touristic habitus to a more satisfactory level.

This article focuses on the problem of social interaction occurring in the process of communication among believers of two Christian religions: Catholicism and Evangelical Church. Both confessions are represented by the highlanders of Silesian Beskid, Southern part of Cieszyn Silesia. Historical and socio-cultural circumstances of this community with two religions were shaping regional identity, cultural identification and traditional norms of coexistence for several centuries. These values were treated by the whole local community as more important than local disagreements. This way idea of cultural community was supported. It is visible in the attitudes and behaviors in which tolerance and acceptance finally overcame local animosities based on religious divisions.

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 author tries, to some extent, to fill up the gap in the research on the impact of socio-economic transformations in Ukraine on rural communities. The article discusses selected aspects of everyday life of the inhabitants of a small village in the Eastern Bieszczady Mountains. The discussion is based on fieldwork conducted by the author in 2007. The everyday life in a former kolkhoz village is focused on work, mainly backward farming and breeding. Because the profits are low, social pathologies develop, among them mainly alcoholism. Only a small group of people are better off; they knew, at the right time, how to cope at the times of transformations. The 'social diseases' affect even those, who, like the village leader or priest, should serve as an example for the local community. Celebrations, partly religious but predominantly lay ones, introduce some change to the dullness of everyday life. Celebrations create an opportunity to meet with the relatives and neighbours. However, they are always accompanied by alcohol. Work and free time alike are good occasions to drink. Drinking is like an everyday ritual, treated as a kind of 'catalyst', affecting social relations and making life in the changing reality easier.
