The article focuses at the presentation of the significance of popular culture in the process of creating modern communities. The paper was stimulated by David Gilmour's concert in Gdansk in 2006. Popular culture is not only a sale product as numerous critics of mass media culture see it. The author treats popular culture as space in which most of the society lives and creates or negotiates various meanings. Popular culture (just like folk culture in traditional communities) defines the identity of individuals or groups. The author explains that popular culture forms space for socialisation which is not restricted exclusively to the young generation and hence deserves a pedagogical reflection, free from evaluative prejudices referring to its cultural significance.

Popular culture is that aspect of modern cultural changes which is often ignored or dismisses - especially those which occur in relation to ethnicity. That view largely stems for a general attitude to pop culture which can be generally defined as conclusion stemming from the Frankfurt school. That is a view which is false and restrictive. Popular culture belongs to the same class of concepts as, for example, medieval or French culture and therefore it deserves the same consideration. The article argues in favour of the view whereby popular culture currently constitutes a permanent and irremovable element of the day-to-day cultural landscape at the beginning of the 21st Century. It is also one of the most important building blocks which create ethnic identity. Examples which support this thesis are the diverse musical practices - Japanese visual rock, Palestine and Israeli rap, Serb turbo-folk as well as selected kinds of music from around the world, such as reggae and bhangra in Britain, rai in France and salsa in the United States. These manifestations of pop culture perfectly show the pop cultural foundations of today's ethnicity in various parts of the world.

The article is a report on the field research carried out in a local gym in a large city and in a commercial fitness club. A detailed description of these places, the people who frequent them and the relationships between them was used in the analysis of two types of social dependence - communal ties and ties of association. The concepts of community and society are deeply rooted in sociological tradition. That description can also be treated as a source of knowledge of the trends in the transformation of cultural patterns appearing in the popular culture of contemporary Polish society.

Dark tourism is a definition encompassing the visiting of places associated with death, torture, battlefields, places where famous people died, cemeteries and exhibitions showing cadavers. This was always a part of culture, although recently there has been an increased interest of tourists and scientists. It combines not only travel and death but is often used ideologically. Also of interest are the various forms of tourism which are involved with death and the motivations of the tourists who are fascinated by them. Both of them are largely generated by the prevailing general culture - especially by the mass media - whereby death has become an element of consumption and another attraction on the tourism market.

The aim of the article is to analyze the role of images of territory in popular culture in reproducing national identity. The author point of departure is a critique of conviction that nations exists is a real and solid social beings which have a similar ontological status as physical objects. In other words, he criticises acceptance of a nationalistic conviction that nations are durable social groups, which have clear borders and are capable of collective activity. It concerns so-called objectivist definitions of a nation, mentioning common elements in the form of language, customs, territory, and culture - as well as so-called subjectivist definitions emphasising the role of consciousness. The latter often treat consciousness as a derivative phenomenon in the face of objective factors in the form of language, customs, culture or territory. From constructivist perspective territory is not one of the attributes of nations or a factor which enables crystallising of national awareness. It is not a common territory which creates nationalism, but nationalism fabricates territory and subsequently maintains the conviction of its existence and weight. A national territory is an abstraction and the possibility of its imagining was brought by modernity. The capability to think in these kinds of abstract categories is not something natural, but the effect of social enginery and deep social transformations: a common education, military service, mass communication, the democratisation of political life and also the formation of mass culture, or speaking a more modern language and popular culture. The existence of a 'nation' as an imagined territorial community depends on the number of cultural symbols. They are very simple, easily comprehensible, ubiquitous, emotionally charged and present in everyday life. Thanks to them abstraction of national territory appears as a natural environment of a common citizen.

The article maps current issues concerning popular literature in Central European cultures with a special emphasis on the Hungarian, Slovak, Czech and Polish contexts. It provides a partial overview of the current state of art and of the research approaches and outlines comparative perspectives. The research of popular literature and culture is done either from the inside, i.e. from the position of the experientially motivated recipient (recipient’s perspective) or from the outside – from the position of an external observer. In the latter approach, the interest might lie in the wider external cultural and social contexts (sociocultural perspective) or in the summarisation of bibliographical data (archival perspective). These research lines testify to generically and thematically typical publications from all four linguistic areas – bibliographies, dictionaries, lexicons, case studies, deeper close readings and book-length research. The corpus of this study takes as its material, is composed of texts published in periodicals and online materials as platforms where popular literature is published and critically analysed. It also takes into consideration Central European feedback on the writers of the Western canon, imagological analysis of national stereotypes, popular socialist culture, fandom and fan literature and intermediality and transmediality of popular culture.

From the perspective of the life-long education, the media and popular culture connected with them have become a learning space. The subject matter of this article is the analysis of the pop culture phenomenon, namely the talk-show 'Europa da sie lubic' (likeable Europe) from the point of view of its educational potential. While seeking the answer to the question - how the analyzed talk-show prepares for existence in a culturally diverse world - the authoress focuses, most of all, on the way in which the show supports the process of recognizing and understanding 'the others'. On one hand, the talk-show proves to be a source of banal knowledge, saturated with stereotypes that are supposed to provide simple fun and entertainment. Since mocking the stereotypes and implying that they distort reality is not an effective way of eliminating nor yet modifying them, the obvious conclusion would be that the show strengthens those stereotypes. However, on the other hand, there are some strategies present in the show that can be treated as an attempt to modify the viewer's stereotypical beliefs. Firstly, it is a strategy of interactions between members of different national groups, providing information about the others and challenging the stereotypes. Secondly, it is a strategy of melting the boundaries between 'us' and 'them', and thirdly - of establishing a primary category, that is 'We', which includes both groups with their common goals. Though the shows like the discussed one, do not encourage serious reflection on cultural differences and own identity, they can, to some extent, reinforce positive feelings, behaviors and interests towards cultural otherness. The resulting more open attitude could only be 'the introduction' to recognizing and understanding cultural otherness.

During the last thirty years or so, there has been a veritable renaissance of the classical ethical idea of the 'art of living'. Far from being restricted to philosophical discourse, it has also successfully entered the arena of popular culture. This renaissance is closely linked to the late work of Foucault, in which he attempts to restore this classical idea, which he thinks is lacking in modern Western societies. The author aims to assess the Foucaultdian idea of the art of living, and argues that Foucault greatly transformed the Graeco-Roman idea by radicalizing the dimension of artistic activity. In the second part of the paper the author asks whether this radicalized idea can live up to Foucault's own emancipatory expectations. Lastly, the author argues that the radicalization of the aesthetic dimension has a contradictory effect.

The article is devoted to an examination of the ways in which particular pop culture artefacts (works of popular culture) can be used in the educational process, in accordance with the particularities that reflect the external differentiation of groups educated in certain ways (pre-school age, younger students, older students, adolescents). The initial premise is that we can intentionally use pop culture artefacts to evoke authentic experiences in the educational process. The inter-textual nature of pop culture artefacts means that the potential recipient is able to read the full significance only when equipped with a certain amount of knowledge, which is not immediately present in the artefact, but that the viewer is aware of due to existing schemata.

The goal of the paper is to map the Czech-Slovak community in the field of contemporary fan fiction inspired by the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling as a follow-up to the tradition of research into the Czech-Slovak literary and cultural relations. It is built on the conception of a „peculiar literary community“ of the Czechs and the Slovaks formulated by Dionýz Ďurišin. What is then analysed is the space of Czech-Slovak websites administered by so-called fans for fans. The activities of the Czech-Slovak community in the field of fan fiction cannot be summarized easily due to several reasons including the fact that the relations within the community are continuously developing and changing. The existence of the Czech-Slovak literary community mainly influenced by nostalgia and personal mind sets of individual debaters is seemingly dominated by disruptive moments strongly motivated by rivalry between the two nations. That is mostly reflected in the debates about the Czech or Slovak translations of the original text. However, it is necessary to note that the community (so-called fandom) sees itself as Czech-Slovak and the most-visited websites are declared to be Czech-Slovak, too. Regardless of the most noticeable manifestations of non-togetherness, the fact that the common Czech-Slovak space exists, what´s more spontaneously, without any ideological prompting, and provides place for linguistic debates, actually gives witness to strong cultural togetherness. The paper does not only attempt to follow in the research tradition but also to shift the focus that has so far been given to high literature to popular literature and culture, which is the area where the Czech-Slovak community currently seems to be most active.

This article deals with the manuscript of a little known Baroque sermon called 'Rurale Ivaniticum' from the Library of the Prague Crusaders. Its author is the forgotten Carmelite P. Ivanus a S. Ioanne Baptista. The main subject is the usefulness of the manuscript for the study of 18th century popular culture in Bohemia. The sermon by P. Ivanus a S. Ioanne Baptista was aimed almost exclusively at the lower class rural population. Hence the 'Rurale ivaniticum' manuscript provides quite frequent examples of didactically intended folk sayings, as well as attacks on folk demonology and oneiromancy. It is from these parts of the manuscript that a merger of scholarly and folk culture clearly emerges.

Chapbooks as a very specific genre of printed materials are a unique type of a society‘s material memory, one that is currently under threat due both to its physical medium and its ephemeral nature and bibliographic uniqueness. The Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, as one of the bodies tasked with the preservation of the nation‘s cultural heritage in the area of popular culture, has undertaken to process and make publicly available its collection of chapbooks by first publishing them as books and then by digitizing them and cataloguing them in a publicly accessible online database using the MARC 21 format.

The term comics in the U.S. came to define early newspaper strips, which initially featured humorous narratives. The first successful comics series featuring regular characters was either R. F. Outcault's single-panel cartoon 'The Yellow Kid' (1895). It became so popular as to drive newspaper sales, and in doing so prompted the creation of other strips. Comics are the combination of both word and image placed of images in sequential order. Comics, as sequential art, are a hybrid form of art and literature. In comics, creators transmit expression through arrangement and juxtaposition of either pictures alone, or words and pictures, to build a narrative. Comics are a new and separate art; an integrated whole, of words and images both, where the pictures do not just depict the story, but are part of the telling. Comics start to be one of the genre of art, when Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol incorporated comics into their work in different ways. 'Maus: A Survivor's Tale' by Art Spiegelman attracted an unprecedented amount of critical attention for a work in the form of comics, including an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992.

The text attempts to identify specific methods used in film adaptations of literary works by Slovak and Czech authors that represent genres of popular culture in the so-called cinematography of transition, defined by historical milestones which reflect various social, cultural and political changes. The normalization process in Czechoslovakia “softened” after 1985 and Czechoslovak cinematography became more open and free, although it still remained controlled by censorship which was not institutionally based. The sci-fi films for children and young adults, such as The Third Dragon (1985), directed by Peter Hledík, and the television film Gemini (1991), directed by Pavol Gejdoš, Jr., are pars pro toto examples of films which were not heavily loaded with ideology. The blood-spattered comedy The Flames of Royal Love (1990), directed by Jan Němec, typifies the period of social change after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and the bizarre film Horror Story (1993), directed by Jaroslav Brabec, indicates the end of the cinematography of transition.

The reality, in which a contemporary teenager exists, is characterised by a tendency to change the social roles that so far have been attributed to individual units (family, teachers) and institutions (school, church etc). Tendencies to change the identification objects, social norms and behaviour patterns appear more and more often. Due to a specificity of dealing with younger and younger generations, the school perfectly depicts changes occuring in the whole society. One of the creators of this 'new' society, undergoing constant changes, is the press, especially youth periodicals which propagate specific behaviours, attitudes and ways of thinking apart from giving information. Apart from this, as mass-media used by popular culture they form a source of obtaining information by young people about the surrounding reality and knowledge of fulfilling specific social roles.The authoress is presenting a draft of a reconstructed teenager's picture fulfilling a student role, which appears in the analysis of the biweekly publication 'Gimnazjalista Victor'.

The article addresses the issue of diverse contemporary manifestations of postmemory. Although works of literature, graphic arts, architecture and sculpture, belonging to the so-called high art culture, have already been analysed with respect to post memory and post-traumatic culture, the domain of popular culture remains practically excluded from such analyses. Meanwhile, it is precisely popular culture that has a considerable impact on the attitudes and views of the people living today. The omnipresence of pop-culture, the pressure it exerts prompts re-evaluation of entire culture, not only its entertainment-related domains. Post-traumatic culture is largely shaped within and through popular culture, which is evinced in the popularity of the graphic story entitled Achtung Zelig! Druga wojna by Krzysztof Gawronkiewicz (art) and KrystianRosenberg (story), displaying numerous traits defined as postmemory. A detailed analysis of the comic book permits the author to reveal those qualities.

The authoress presents the results of her research on press marriage ads. She has identified different research leads; a marriage ad is discussed as a linguistic phenomenon and, first of all, as a cultural phenomenon, in the focus of interest of different areas of humanistic studies. She makes a marriage ad part of the cultural scenario, organizing behaviours that follow the rules of matchmaking, making them a fragment of an old story about pairing a man and a woman. She points to a parallel between marriage ads and the traditional matchmaking and tries to find folklore-like features in marriage ads, existing in the world of everyday cultural life. The authoress analyses marriage ads from the point of view of popular literature, with defined aesthetics and genre features. She also discusses the communicative function of the ad. The article carries many quotations from singles ads. The authoress tries to put marriage ads into a broad perspective of the discussion about the position of man in the modern culture - his/her status, aspirations and needs.

The article points out the main aspects of criticism of disco culture, as well as relating them to widespread remarks on Western popular culture in the Polish press and sociological writings in the 1970th. The first discotheque was established in Poland in 1970 (Musicorama ’70 in Sopot) and within several years the number of discos mushroomed to 20,000. From the very beginning disco culture was considered a challenge to socialist ideology, and thus its Western origins were to blame for its banality and mediocrity. Therefore the authorities supported the idea of rectifying discos, which was nothing if not a variant of the principle that Western ‘inventions’ must be adapted to the current ideological framework. According to numerous authors, the American model of entertainment was not suitable for Polish youth, as it promoted egotism and a demanding attitude. The metaphor of ‘the lonely crowd’, borrowed from David Riesman, was used to describe disco attendees, who were ‘so free that it made them bored’. Finally, the author investigates how the myth of the Slavic community, and a ‘Gnostic’ world outlook influenced this antagonism towards Western popular culture.

The article concentrates on metalinguistic uses of the notion of 'culture' in contemporary debates on collective identity. The author claims that metacultural consciousness shapes the horizon of contemporary social imagery, in the sense given to this notion by Charles Taylor. The way of using the word and concept of culture in the context of the metaculture of modernity and the metaculture of difference is then contrasted with the phenomenon of a self-referential and self-interpreting unity which the author entitles the metaculture of newness or simultaneity. A slogan provided by an advertising campaign of the clothing company Esprit, 'The World Is Our Culture', describes accurately the global sense of its ambitions.
