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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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 Slovaks living in Serbia, Croatia and Romania are not just a result of historical development from the perspective of assimilation, but they create ethnic communities which are active, purposeful and coordinated. This situation is not a matter of course, automatic or inertia. It is the result of sophisticated and conscious continuous stimulation of ethnicity. Specifics of environments of these Slovaks are an important determinant of general and particular development trends and perspectives of their existence. Ethno-cultural research must therefore take into account the current local, regional and areal context of their identity, language and cultural traditions. It is more effective to perceive the minority culture from the perspectives of its preservation of the cultural wealth and values and to interpret it as the cultural potential that can be converted into the cultural capital.

This article uses data from a representative survey on the applications of information and communication technologies to investigate the use of the mobile phone as a cultural object by different groups of respondents/consumers. Setting out from the premise that the symbolic and artefactual nature of new media, their ‘thingness’, should be a central part of any investigation of their social and cultural signifi cance, the article focuses on the meaning of the mobile phone as a cultural object and commodity sign for various groups of users/consumers. It also concentrates on the social structuring of mobile phone use by young people and addresses the relationship between class and the practices and meanings of mobile phone use in the context of young people’s consumption of other media and cultural technologies. It addresses one of the central questions in the sociology of culture—how are consumption tastes and practices related to class—and examines it through the case of mobile phone use. The study suggests that the general ‘technosensibility’ of young people, which seems a universal generational phenomenon, when interpreted in the context of the consumption of other ‘old’ and ‘new’ media and cultural consumption in general, is differentiated according to class and cultural capital. The article concludes that class distinctions produce a digital divide that results in two distinct populations of young users: the interacting and the interacted users.
