This article is based on research conducted in rural areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland by first-year ethnology and cultural anthropology students as part of their first field exercises. One of their tasks was to keep fieldnotes, which provided an insight into the young anthropologists’ experiences. Based on an analysis of these notes, I decided to inscribe the process of becoming an anthropologist into the pattern of the rite of passage according to the model proposed by Arnold van Gennep. The purpose of the article is to analyze and interpret the students’ notes and present the point of view of a young researcher – including myself, the author of this article, who participated in this research – on the Polish countryside and the role of the field in the “anthropological initiation.” Making fieldnotes is not only a technique or method of producing anthropological knowledge, but also a source of information about the researcher’s inner experiences during their professional initiation. The article investigates how the specificity of the rural areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland (as the first research field) influenced the process of the symbolic transformation of a student into an anthropologist.
本文基于一年级民族学和文化人类学学生在波兰侏罗纪高地农村地区进行的研究，这是他们第一次实地练习的一部分。他们的任务之一是做实地记录，这为了解年轻人类学家的经历提供了一个视角。基于对这些笔记的分析，我决定根据Arnold van Gennep提出的模型，将成为人类学家的过程铭刻到成人仪式的模式中。这篇文章的目的是分析和解释学生的笔记，并提出一个年轻研究者的观点——包括我自己，这篇文章的作者，我参与了这项研究——关于波兰农村和该领域在“人类学启蒙”中的作用。田野笔记不仅是产生人类学知识的一种技术或方法，而且是研究人员在其职业启蒙过程中有关其内心体验的信息来源。本文考察了波兰侏罗纪高地农村地区(作为第一个研究领域)的特殊性如何影响了学生向人类学家的象征性转变过程。

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the state of knowledge of age-old foods brought to Lower Silesia after the end of World War II by settlers and resettlers from the eastern corners of the country and the Eastern Borderlands. The studied region is a post-migration area, within which – in the post-war period – there were processes of reevaluation, adopting or abandoning elements of the new and found cultural heritage. These processes also involved culinary heritage. The issue of culinary traditions surfaced quite often during conversations with elderly people, who in their recollections reached back to the pre-war period in their hometowns and to the first post-war years after resettlement. The present discussion will focus primarily on liquid dishes – soups/pottages, less often on thick and baked dishes. What distinguished them is the fact that they were still prepared a few years after resettlement, but nevertheless, gradually lost their popularity and eventually were abandoned. Interesting details on the subject are provided by source materials collected during field research, as part of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas project. The source basis will be the information obtained in the questionnaire “People’s material culture.”

Le texte présenté est une tentative de synthèse des orientations intellectuelles françaises influençant le régionalisme polonais. Des phénomènes que l’on peut qualifier d’annonciateurs du régionalisme propre – le développement de la recherche sur l’histoire de localités et de territoires particuliers, le folklore, les travaux géographiques et linguistiques, le développement d’un journalisme local ou d’activités artistiques et éducatives – s’inscrivent dans un large courant d’activités patriotiques, ce qui constitue une différence essentielle entre les conditions dans lesquelles le régionalisme s’est développé en Pologne et en France au tournant du XXe siècle. Indépendamment de ce qui précède, les courants scientifiques, politiques et culturels français ont été suivis de près en Pologne, gagnant ici de nombreux partisans, également parmi les régionalistes.

Автор статті показує, що буколічний жанр вже сприймається як щось маргінальне, а літературознавство зосереджується тут переважно на локальних описах, на протиставленні села місту, вкладаючи в термін жанр власне розуміння тощо. Тут же буколіку узято не в тих чи інших синхронічних зрізах, а в історичній діахронії, в основному в ракурсі зміни типів літератури на межі античності й християнства, коли життєстверджуючі ідеали класичної буколіки було піддано релігійно-філософській рефлексії, що спричинилося до трансформації, починаючи від епохи Відродження, камерної ліричної форми в соціально та психологічно насичені роман та драму. Автор статті спирається на методологію ритуально-міфологічного літературознавства, позаяк у буколічній літературі бринить відлуння древніх ритуалів поновлення життя й подолання смерті. Поділяючи погляд Дж. З. Сміта, згідно якому для мисливців та збирачів найважливішою формою ритуальної діяльності є ініціація, а для хліборобів – жертвопринесення, автор статті вдається до розгорнутого співставлення античної буколіки, котрій від початку була притаманна певна „міська” іронічність, не лише із загальною спіритуалістичною концепцією Біблії, а й конкретно з пасторальними мотивами у Пісня над піснями, показуючи, як подібні філіації ідей вплинули на ускладнення й поглиблення жанру в цілому. Простежено, як античне оспівувалося безтурботного життя селянина ускладнюється християнським почуттям memento mori. В епоху Просвітництва гранично підвищується філософська насиченість пасторалі: природа стає бажаним середовишем проживання й джерелом наснаги, ба, навіть критерієм істини. Відзначається також, що пасторальний роман, як всякий роман за панування класицизму, був оголошений „поза законом” – як жанр, за генетикою своєю фольклорний, що не завадило йому в дискурсі сентименталізму досягти висот у зображення внутрішнього світу почуттів. Таким чином, стаття являє собою генералізовану панорамну картину буття жанру в його діахронічному русі. Розгорнуто показано, як буколічно-пасторальні мотиви не лише сконденсували в собі дух народжених у сиву язичницьку давнину ритуалів, котрі фіксували одвічну боротьбу Життя й Смерті, а й вступили в діалог з цінностями біблійними, що взначило розвій та постійне розширення жанрових кордонів буколіки.

The purpose of the article is to present the periodicals that discussed issues of cultivation, fruit farming, horticulture and animal breeding in Sandomierz. The time frame covers newspapers published between 1829–2022. The article consists of two parts. The first provides the titles of periodicals published in Sandomierz between 1829–1939, which addressed topics related to agriculture or livestock farming. The second part presents periodicals covering this subject matter that were printed in Sandomierz from 1945–2022. The author indicates that issues related to agriculture in Sandomierz and in the region were not only reflected in the local press published after the political transformation, but became the subject of scholarly and popular-scientific reflection.

Wiktor Schramm (1885–1958) was a scholar and educator born in Olchowa and living in Poznań. He was a professor at the University of Poznań, its pro-rector, as well as the founder (1919) and head of the Department of Agricultural Economics (initially, Zakład Ekonomii Rolniczej and after 1945 – Katedra). His research interests included agriculture and agricultural economics, accounting, economic history and the organization and methodology of university teaching as well as the natural sciences and ethnography. The article summarizes the current state of knowledge about Schramm’s scholarly activities and presents his hitherto unpublished article as a voice in the discussion of the use of the cadastre, known as the Josephine metric, which was created in the late 18th century in the area of Galicia. It also discusses the metric itself, which is a contemporary source for researching the past and the changes that took place in Galicia from the 18th–21st centuries. Nowadays, the materials produced during the implementation of land surveys in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy of Joseph II are stored at the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Lviv. The article points out the untapped potential of the Josephine metric in the study of such sciences as economic history, historical ethnography, demography, geography, natural sciences and others.

This article describes the economic and socio-cultural transformations experienced in recent decades by the communities of three villages, Bartężek, Tarda and Winiec, located in the western part of the Warmia-Mazury province. The immediate cause of these changes was the political and economic transformations that took place in Poland after 1989. However, the aftermath of the specific, and often predominantly negative, effects of these transformations are seen in the contemporary history of the region and its inhabitants; in particular, the challenge faced by the newly forming Polish state to domesticate, incorporate and unite – both administratively and economically, as well as (most importantly!) symbolically and culturally – the areas of the so-called Recovered Territories with the rest of the country. The great experiment, which was the formation of a new and modern society (in intention) of the Northern and Western Territories, was not successful everywhere. The localities and their inhabitants featured in the work are examples of this. Objective factors, mostly unemployment and transportation exclusion, which afflicted and partly continue to afflict the residents since the early 1990s, overlapped with the lack of sufficiently strong social and cultural ties binding the group together and with the inhabited space. The result of this process was a rapid exodus (if not flight) of primarily young people in search of income and a new place to live. This exodus determined the social and cultural condition of the described villages today, and perhaps many similar ones in the region. The article, using ethnographic detail, reveals the backstage of the economic and social collapse of the villages mentioned and the communities that comprise them, and points to the socio-cultural and symbolic causes of this process.

Arkadiusz Bednarczuk
Some leftist intellectuals distance themselves from local activism and accuse it of neglecting political goals and being insensitive to cultural problems. Their critique of activism is based on patterns drawn from modernization discourse and often reveals classism toward the poorer strata of society. The deprecation of local activism is linked to the shift in traditional leftist discourse and its refocusing on cultural problems. Furthermore, it is associated with the political development of the metropolitan middle class. The radicalization of demands in the cultural sphere to politically win over the middle class means that, from the perspective of local communities, leftist discourse loses its credibility as a force capable of systemic change and poverty reduction. In addition, a leftist critique of local activism often repeats the value-laden models that were used during the systemic transformation of the 1990s and served at the time as an ideological justification for exploitation and middle-class supremacy. All this makes the leftist critique of local activism a de facto class critique, conducted in the interests of the middle class.
{"title":"Sources of left-wing attitudes towards the activism of local groups","authors":"Arkadiusz Bednarczuk","doi":"10.18778/1506-6541.29.03","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18778/1506-6541.29.03","url":null,"abstract":"Some leftist intellectuals distance themselves from local activism and accuse it of neglecting political goals and being insensitive to cultural problems. Their critique of activism is based on patterns drawn from modernization discourse and often reveals classism toward the poorer strata of society. The deprecation of local activism is linked to the shift in traditional leftist discourse and its refocusing on cultural problems. Furthermore, it is associated with the political development of the metropolitan middle class. The radicalization of demands in the cultural sphere to politically win over the middle class means that, from the perspective of local communities, leftist discourse loses its credibility as a force capable of systemic change and poverty reduction.
