The article presents two selected dimensions of the Polish regionalist discourse: its tendencies of self- 'victimization' and 'occidentalization'. They refer to emphasizing of supposedly unusual sufferings and attachment to the Western culture of particular regional communities. The analysis has been carried out on the basis of the study of three Polish regions of considerable diversity: Silesian voivodship, Swietokrzyskie voivodship and Warminsko-Mazurskie voivodship. The discussion of victimization and occidentalization of the regional discourses has been related to the reflection over the nature of the Polish national identity. In the final part, the article uses Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the three types of capital to theorize about the two phenomena. At the same time, their assessment is linked to different ideological approaches.

The cultural heritage of the Polish rural community constitutes a specific type of capital with which the Polish society is entering the integrated Europe. The author of the article draws attention to the possibility of formulating a different than the often expressed extremely critical opinion about that heritage. She also emphasises the significance of the society's positive or negative attitude towards its own tradition. The article's conclusions, which find confirmation in the results of surveys conducted in various parts of Poland in 2003, suggest that a positive attitude towards the rural heritage displayed by the society described by sociologists as a peasant society is more conducive to pro-European attitudes and creation of a new system than criticism, full of complexes vis-a-vis the West, which, at best, may lead to the creation of an imitative capitalism and peripheral democracy.

The paper proposes a redefinition of the rules of critical sociology in the context of peripheral countries, among them Poland and also Russia and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The proposed theoretical model refers to the notions of cultural and political capital as understood and defined by Pierre Bourdieu. The cultural capital in particular is believed to be the key and most stable dimension of inequality in Poland, as well as an important source of inequalities in other dimensions. It has been suggested that critical sociology of the Polish periphery should focus its interests precisely on this issue. At the same time the position that overlooks the cultural dimension of inequalities and treats interests defined in terms of culture as 'irrational' is considered to be a manifestation of 'Orientalism' and lack of respect for the important social resources of the population.

This paper is an attempt to establish the place occupied by the concept of cultural capital proposed Pierre Bourdieu in American sociology. This category enjoys enduring popularity and is even considered to be one of the main achievements in cultural sociology as a research tool and a subject of analysis. At the same time cultural capital is an operationalised concept which is frequently used in a way which is completely detached from its original sense and meaning. The paper below presents Bourdieu's main assumptions concerning the relations between culture and society and the role played by cultural capital within his theory. In addition, it explains a series of theoretical and empirical doubts concerning the concept of cultural capital as formulated on the basis of American experience. Of particular interest is the question of the nature of cultural resources which can be called capital, the problem of their social distribution, the rewards which they bring and, thus, their usefulness as a marker and guarantee of social position. The paper also raises the issue of the definition and effectiveness of the cultural signs of social status in the broader context of the conditions which define late modern society.

The author shows the connections of the Polish economy and sociology in the period of their formation. Despite the fact, that the first Polish economists and sociologists were inspired by the Western works, their own scientific views and works were formed in basically different social and political conditions which dominated in the then partitioned Poland. That is why the Polish economy and particularly sociology of those days were in some areas (research problems) belated when compared with the Western ones, but much ahead of the Western in others. Some important concepts of todays Western sociology were introduced in the Polish social sciences one hundred years ago (e.g. the concept of cultural capital). In the second part of the paper the social forces, specific for the system of so called real socialism (communism), which conditioned its functioning, were shortly depicted. The constitutive features of the contemporary social macrostructures were, from the one hand , immune for classical, Western type scientific analysis, and they precluded a development of adequate concepts and research tools, from the other. Therefore adequate theory of the social reality of those days is still an unfulfilled task of the Polish social sciences.

Applying the method used by Richard A. Peterson and Roger M. Kern in a classic article, Changing Highbrow Taste: From Snob to Omnivore, the authors made an analysis of the phenomenon of „cultural omnivorousness” in the Polish cultural context. ”Omnivorousness” is a state in which individuals rich in cultural capital do not limit theirs aesthetic tastes to legitimate forms of culture (highbrow), but open to new, “lower”, forms (middlebrow, lowbrow). The analysis described in the article was focused on musical taste of respondents. Using data collected by the Central Statistical Office in the course of research, „Participation of People in Culture” in the years 2004 and 2009 authors used statistical procedures for data analysis, which allowed presenting the conclusions about the omnivorousness in Poland. Based on the collected data the authors state that a phenomenon opposite to omnivorousness takes place: the narrowing of the aesthetic taste. Following Peterson and Kern, the analytical results were supplemented by a theoretical attempt to explain the observed patterns.

Using the British 'Mining Communities Studies', the author analyses the transformation of traditional Silesian mining communities under the influence of newcomers from outside the region. He utilises the results of monograph research conducted in three mining communities (Grodziec, Murcki and Ledziny) . He pays particular attention to the movement away from the integrated mining community towards changes in the cultural capital and the model of the family.

This article focuses on the factors that influence leisure time in Slovakia and the Czech Republic by using a dataset from coordinated surveys on leisure time carried out in 2016 (Slovakia) and 2011 (Czech Republic). We show the internal structure of leisure activities determined by the social logic of cultural taste. Amongst more than 20 activities examined, we identify three basic spheres–active lifestyle/highbrow culture (forming cultural capital), out-of-home entertainment/consumption of new media and domesticity/family life. The main goal is to identify the factors differentiating these elementary lifestyles. We test hypotheses on the divergent influences of age, education and residence size on leisure activities in the two countries. The analysis confirmed the hypotheses in only two areas of leisure–active lifestyle/highbrow culture and partly in out-of-home entertain-ment/new media consumption. The results show that more culturally demanding forms of leisure are determined not only by individual factors but also to some extent by structural differences in settlement arrangements and broader historical and cultural circumstances.

This article presents the diagnosis of the national-ethnic identitiy features among the students of secondary schools in Silesian province. It compares the significance of two sets of social features (status and interactivity) based on the data from latest survey (3986 pupils questionnaired) for the differentiation of the Silesian-Polish and Silesian identity on background of the Poles' self-identification. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the meaning of the cultural capital components for defining separate Silesian identity. The question emerges about the interactive (J. Mucha, P. Starosta), social networks (W. Lukowski) or costume (A. A. Zieba) character of such ethnic identifications. Referring to the theory of cultural capital ( P. Bourdieu) and the concept of regional identity (M. S. Szczepanski), the main thesis about attenuation, but not decline, of the social status factors' significance for the national-ethnic Silesian self-identification is substantiated. Apparently, the distinguishing of the Silesian-Polish and Silesian identity is reasonable. The young school generation takes after the status identity partially from their parents and grandparents but modifies it in interactive peer relations. Therefore, we need a new theoretical outlook on the dynamics of the primary etnic habitus formation.

The paper is an attempt at synthetic reconstruction of the theory of cultural capital of Pierre Bourdieu. It also presents a reflection on its potential application to analyses of contemporary Polish society. Different approaches to the definition of cultural capital as well as its relations with other types of capital distinguished by P.Bourdieu are discussed. In particular, relations between cultural capital and social as well as symbolic capital are discussed. Notions of "capital conversion", "reproduction" and "field" have been also presented. The theoretical and ideological context of the development of the theory of cultural capital is discussed, as well as its functions in the context of so-called "critical theory" and relations with the notion of "human capital". The notion of cultural capital has been also discussed in relation to the theory of symbolic violence. A number of criticisms of assumptions and observations made by Bourdieu made by different authors have been presented, in particular those suggesting that Bourdieu presents his conclusions pertaining to observa- tions of contemporary French society as universal. Other reservations expressed about his theory discussed in the text included assumptions of coherence of dominant canons of the high culture in modern Western societies. The paper is concluded with a reflection on the relevance of cultural capital theory in the context of societies of Central and Eastern Europę, and in particular its uses for the study of the Polish society.

This paper examines the relationship between different types of cultural capital and educational outcomes. The authors operationalised highbrow cultural capital, two additional formal competencies from CNFC, and parental cultural capital, in order to ascertain whether these cultural capital types are associated with secondary school enrolment and school grades. Data was collected by the authors in a survey that was conducted in five Croatian secondary schools. The results broadly show that highbrow cultural capital is connected with both measured educational outcomes. The authors conclude that the dominant interpretation of cultural capital still has its merits and argue for a broader contextual approach to cultural capital in future research.

Stratification theories are considered in order to account for the persistence of educational inequalities in contemporary societies. A brief review of empirical evidence from different countries demonstrates that educational inequalities have not diminished for at least 50 years. To explain this phenomenon four social stratification theories are discussed: a functional theory, a theory of cultural capital, a class conflict theory, and a theory of the credential society. Reconciling the assumptions and main theses of the theories demonstrates that each of them can be profitably applied to explain some aspects of the mechanisms through which contemporary educational systems replicate social inequalities from one generation to the next.

The paper describes the analysis of the part of the representative research that monitors disagreement with the basic goals and presumptions of civic deliberative democracy. The statistical analysis indicates that the support for deliberative democracy is generally widespread among Slovak population; however, the respondents with higher cultural capital (higher education, bilingualism, use of internet) and with higher self-evaluation of understanding politics are those whose support is the most probable. On the other hand, an authoritarian syndrome that is understood as the interiorized obstacle to political participation (an authoritarian subordination, a lack of political information, political helplessness and political indifference) occurs more probably among the respondents with lower cultural capital and lower socio-economic status. The results are discussed in relation to the thesis that deliberative democracy is not the appropriate instrument for deepening democracy because the deliberative capital and motivation to participate are not equally distributed in population

This study is concerned with the issue of public space in contemporary social changes. The author believes that the key phenomenon in the process which is generally designated as globalisation is the speeding-up of development, an acceleration of changes in attitudes, models, values, and technologies. This cultural acceleration has a fundamental influence also on the perception of space and time. Since the mid-20th century at the latest, the category of space has come to the attention of sociocultural anthropology. The fundamental question to be explored is the mutual influence of space and social processes. Public space plays an important role also in the renewal and development of settlements, whether through the utilisation of social relationships or through cultural values (social and cultural capital). Finally, the author presents the relationship of inhabitants to the public spaces, taking the examples of Bratislava- Petržalka and Stupava. He shows how these spaces also contribute to the creation and construction of the residents’ relationship to the settlement. The involvement of residents in decision-making, in his view, is not just an expression of democracy at the local level but also a means of building a relationship and feeling of responsibility towards the locality, and a precondition for the sustainability of accomplished changes.

The article is mapping the translations and critical reflections on German, Austrian and Swiss literature in the Slovak literary journals Slovenské pohľady, Revue svetovej literatúry and Mladá tvorba in the literary field in Slovakia of the 1960ś. Talking about these publications, we can see a competition of two models of perception of foreign literature: on one hand, the model of cultural representation and on the other hand, the model of democratic literary discussion. Especially at the end of the 1960ś the second model prevailed. In the 1960ś we can also record the entry of a new generation of the Slovak Germanists on the literary stage. Nevertheless, this generation is gradually decimated after 1968. Despite the disfavour of the following decades, the accumulated cultural capital brought book translations of modern German, Austrian and Swiss authors in the late 1980ś and 1990ś. The journal culture of the 1960ś also contributed to the making of historical links between classical literary modernity, the avant-garde ad the literary present.

More and more people around the world are using computer (video) games. The development of the gaming industry entails the increasing of its complexity in all aspects. Not only is the content represented in games continuously developing, but we also see increasing diversity among their creators, users, researchers and the public. This article aims to draw attention to the possibility of using the concept of social capital in ludologists' research as well as in improving the quality of games and of the cooperation between social environments related by games. Social capital is understood here as a potential of interactions embedded in interpersonal ties and social norms, which can bring advantages for individuals, groups and societies. The author takes a closer look at: the main features of this multi-dimensional category; significant differences between human, social and cultural capital; as well as the positive and negative influences of social capital.

The study analyses men and women's chances in higher education, narrowing the question to material, cultural and social capital. According to the authors' hypothesis, since on the basis of the data of a number of studies, fewer men reach higher education (they study in institutions of second and semi-third degree), they have to prove and present more in order to enter higher education, and it seems that they are in a disadvantageous situation in comparison with women. Those men who enter University or College, will have bigger home-based cultural resources and material capital, and their social relations will be characterized by strong and tight ties, which they can successfully increase during their further studies, in other words, they need the mobilization of more resources than women. In the present study the authors make an attempt in order to check this hypothesis.

Tradycyjnie migracje międzynarodowe z Podhala postrzegane były przez pryzmat ekonomicznych konsekwencji wyjazdów górali podhalańskich – mężczyzn udających się do prac sezonowych w rolnictwie (wyjazdy kontynentalne) lub w przemyśle ciężkim: budownictwie czy metalurgii (wyjazdy zamorskie). Jednak od dekad w migracjach międzynarodowych z Podhala uczestniczyły kobiety. Do końca XX wieku migrantki z Podhala głównie towarzyszyły wyjeżdżającym do pracy mężczyznom, szczególnie w przypadku migracji do Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej. Obecne od lat 90. XX wieku zmiany w strumieniach migracyjnych z Podhala dotyczyły także uczestnictwa kobiet w migracjach. Góralki podhalańskie coraz częściej samodzielnie podejmowały decyzje o wyjeździe, a ich aktywne uczestnictwo w migracjach międzynarodowych powodowało zmiany w społecznościach wysyłających. Potwierdzeniem tego faktu są dane z badań własnych, które prowadziłam w jednej z podhalańskich społeczności wiejskich – Ludźmierzu. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wyłonić można interesujące kwestie związane z migracjami góralek. W artykule podjęto analizę jednego z takich zagadnień, mianowicie zmian w kapitale społecznym, kulturowym i ekonomicznym uczestniczek migracji międzynawowych z Podhala (przez wyjazdem, w trakcie, po zakończonej migracji) i ich wpływu na podejmowane rodzaje aktywności w społeczności wysyłającej i przyjmującej.

Traditionally, international migration from Podhale was perceived from the point of view of the economic consequences of departures of Podhale highlanders – men travelling for seasonal work in agriculture (continental departures) or in heavy industry like construction or metallurgy (overseas departures). However, women have participated in international migration from Podhale for decades. Until the end of the 20th century, female migrants from Podhale mainly accompanied the men leaving for work, especially when migrating to the United States. Changes in migration streams from Podhale, present since the 90s of the XXth century, also concerned the participation of women in migration. Female Podhale highlanders increasingly made their own decisions about leaving, and their active participation in international migration triggered changes in the communities which sent them. A confirmation of this fact is the data from my own research, which I conducted in one of the Podhale rural communities – Ludźmierz. On the basis of the conducted research, interesting issues related to migration of female highlanders can be discovered. The article analyses one of the issues, namely changes in the social, cultural and economic capital of the female participants of international migration from Podhale (before departure, during, after the migration) and their impact on the types of activity in the sending and receiving communities.
