The article is a proposition of analysis of official web sites of three various, though neighboring cities: Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia. The cultural and historical representations of those cities are the main subject. Along with democratization of life in Poland after 1989 Internet became one of the most effective and accessible means of popularizing certain messages. What textual and visual strategies are, in those circumstances, undertaken by the municipal offices? What contents and values are embodied in virtual counterparts of the cities? The analysis shows how differently hitherto existing images of those cities are selected and recreated on those three municipal web sites and how Internet delivers new opportunities in this respect. It also reveals that information about Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia presented there is to a large extent a projection of contemporary ideals and the ways municipal authorities want their cities to be perceived.

Although philosophers used to consider various aspects of city life as regards to a notion of space that is inhabited by human bodies or produced by a social system, there is no human figures on the most touching visual representations. The best known images of cities in the history of Western Culture - Piranesi's perspectives, Lorraine's cityscapes, Turner's London views - displays space that is desolated. Human figure is only an addition to a city scale and its architecture. Introducing photography in 19th century changed means of representation but did not changed its model. Eugene Atget's Paris or Albert Renger-Patsch's Berlin is empty as well. The article attempts to reveal some meanings of photographs of deserted cities. There are several narrations focused on photographical images of deserted cities: a narration of technology showing how inventions influence on models of representation; a narration of socio-politics pointing at the role of photography in social improvements; and last but not least a narration of culture indicating a transformation of human perception of city space. The article consist of three parts. The first is dedicated to historical photographs and shows how objective 'panoramic' view (represented by Daguerre, Delmaet, and Durandelle works) is replaced with a subjective gaze of flâneur (in Marville's and Atget's practice). The second one analyses British social documents (Leeds' 'insanitary' areas). Last part regards the works by contemporary artists (Hilla and Berndt Bechers, Steffi Klenz), where isolated city space become a pretext to comment social phenomena.

The paper is a response to the question about a woman's experience of the city. Accordingly, the authoress analyses the ways Elfriede Jelinek's heroines behave. She contasts them with a male perspective as is recorded in Elias Canetti's prose. The paper consists of four parts. Part one is entitled 'Gynecriticism in Polish-Poetics, or Who Replaced the Flâneur in the Post-modern City' and it presents the history of a 'flâneur' and the reasons why he does not find a place for himself in the post-modern city. Part two, entitled 'City as an Extension of the Senses - on the Aesthetics of the Space' reconstructs Jelinek's heroines' experience of the city. Part three, entitled 'Fugitive and her Plan of the City' shows how this experience is rooted in the topography and semiotics of the city. Part four 'Stadtluft macht frei' contains an extended summary with an attempt to interpret the vision of the city and woman in Jelinek's writing. The city presented here is Vienna. The dynamic development of its architecture over the twentieth century can be seen in the attached photos.

The Essay 'Stockholm's experience: making room for rooting' institutes a wide aspect concern about issue connected with metropolitan city experience, hospitality and rooting. The Author confirms, that Stockholm is a unique metropolitan city founded on upturned order, where aspects of city corporeality turns into a great machinery, full of conscious mechanisms. From the first volume she tried to describe Stockholm using only one word, and at the beginning it was 'reserved', but later she found others as 'well organized' or 'distinct'. The Rareness of this city shows that each word is like mirror, which makes an accurate perspective of whole city structure. Author confirms, that using these words it is possible to make a view about this great Scandinavian metropolitan city. The Second these shows that also using this words, it is possible to make a reflection about rooting and hospitality on three separated areas: cultural, urban, political. So far, meditation has considered on the people, who live in Stockholm. Author has convinced, that Stockholm citizen's attitude is favorable, when we talk about rooting or domestication. Stockholm's people way of life has seduced and magnetized into the city in very strongly sense. As the final result Stockholm experience making an impression for tourist or stranger, that this metropolitan has a one rule - each citizen presents these, that city is a state of mind and Stockholm also is the state of strangers' mind. This specific construction attracts strangers, tourists seduces and builds a vision - the metropolitan city which has its own order, which is located in English phrase - the city of whole consuming thought. Author describes Stockholm experience using word 'absorbing', this is a key word, which explains possibility of rooting and hospitality in this metropolitan city. Stockholm makes a place, which has not making strangers home-sickness, even nostalgic. On the contrary - citizen has made a space and room for better life and better place to live, but this is possible only through research which are connected with the rooting aspect. After one day of visiting Stockholm, author marks feelings, which are connected with this experience and gives such as these, that beyond facts such as that Stockholm is not her born place, her own place or place connected with her life start opportunity. It does not matter, because she thinks about this city as her home. Author confirms, that she is not a Swedish, but she percepts Stockholm as a place of her way back.

The paper offers a critical evaluation of theoretical and application findings about city marketing. It deals with specifics and limits of use of selected elements of marketing theory in conditions of the cities. It comes to a conclusion that application possibilities are much more limited than theoretical expectations are. The reason is not only political environment where there a decision making about marketing use takes place, but also a difficulty and complexity of the city as the marketing entity.

The paper presents issues related to the legal aspects of administrative procedure of changes to the boundaries of communities. An analysis of legal provisions regulating this process, point to the many uncertainties of interpretation which may occur in practice. The authors have characterized the municipality as a subject of public and private law, whose independence is protected by the courts. The authors in particular draw attention to issues of public consultation undertaken during the procedural changes for the boundaries of cities, including a local referendum. Based on the views of doctrine, the judgments of the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court rulings made legal interpretation of the provisions for compliance with the Polish Constitution under the rule of law requiring uniform application of law throughout the country.

Rudnik on the San River is an example of one of the first private foundations of a town in Sandomierz Land, which was to become the administrative and economic centre of a small estate consisting of several villages and at the same time, due to its location by the Sandomierz– Przemyśl route and near the navigable San, it also took part in regional trade. The size and spatial arrangement of town reflected its needs in this context. Here we can see one of the first attempts in this area to apply the Renaissance concept of a private town combined with the owners seat. Full realization of this concept, as well as the development of the town in line with initial expectations, were hampered by frequent changes of ownership, their limited financial resources, competition from other private towns, and finally warfare in the second half of the seventeenth century with the consequent economic crisis.

Italo Calvino’s Invisible cities (1972) is a fictional prosaic work which tries to consider a essential attributes of a modern urbanization. The hero, Marco Polo, shows his interlocutor, Kublai khan, some imaginary cities which are regarded as the allegorical examples of the anthropological, semiotic, metaphysical, architectonic or mythical aspects of the city as a historical, philosophical and cultural phenomenon. Calvino however stresses the individual character of the described places. Michal Ajvaz’s work titled 55 cities is a attempt of a new arrangement of a Calvino’s topical matter and reconstructing it into a universal model of the city itself. According to him the main features which decide about the essence of urbanization are memory and desire. First of them defines the past od the city – the second creates its future.

Wieluń in the first half of the 16th century was a middle-sized town but could be considered a big one in Greater Poland. The described town society had to live in the finest period in Wieluń’s history, without wars and natural disasters, but in a convenient location on trade routes. The town was a conglomerate of various social, professional, religious and informal groups. Along with natural divisions resulting from the place of residence (within the town walls and outside), profession or identity there also existed differences in terms of their class. New burgesses came from the very bourgeoisie, but also from peasantry and gentry, though mainly poor. The society of Wieluń could also be divided in a considerably lesser degree on account of their ethnic affiliation and professed religion, Jews and Protestants infrequently settled there. The role of a keystone, the element binding together bourgeoisie varying in terms of their social background and economic status was best performed on religious plane, although it was far from equality even there. However, all of them met in the parish church (and other churches), belonged to the same fraternities, gave donations for the building of the same altars and finally were buried at the same cemeteries.

Post-Yugoslav prose published in Poland after the year 1990, despite its simplistic reception by Poles, complicates the simple, nationalistic image of political divisions that had followed the collapse of Yugoslavia. Literary representations of Sarajevo conceived of as a space that is complex both ethnically and culturally becomes a perfect symbol of multi-cultural and trans-cultural dependencies. Consequently, the city shown in disseminational contexts violates the iconic image of the Balkans that is over-represented in mainstream Polish reception and supported by ethno-national categories overused by the media and popular magazines.

The article discusses global cities - the economic, political and financial centres of the modern world. However, the author does not focus on the economic importance of global cities but on their socio-cultural uniqueness. In this perspective cities are perceived as the most advanced evolutionary form of urban organisms, which developed during post-industrial globalisation. The latter made modern global cities centres with free movement of people and migrations as their inalienable features. By reference to Ulf Hannerz' concept of transnational connections the author discusses four main social categories that make up global cities: representatives of international business, populations originating in the Third World, the people of culture and tourists. While describing all four of them, the author draws attention to the consequences that the presence of these groups have in the cultural, social and spatial dimensions.

The socialist period is one of the current and developing areas of research in ethnology. The study deals with ethnological research of the socialist period, focusing on the urban environment. An introductory overview examines research between 1948 and 1989 and the present research (post-1989), with an emphasis on urban localities. In the next section, it considers some of the key issues that arise in relation to ethnology's approach to this period. The first of these is whether ethnological research on the past, and thus on socialism, should focus on the reconstruction of a way of life or on its representations. Another is whether we can speak of a specifically socialist way of life, socialist culture and especially how this applies in urban settings.

The article addresses the problem of the city as a semiotic space that is defined by its boundary. The first part of the paper presents some of the models of this semiotic boundary and then looks at the city in Bohumil Hrabal’s novel In-House Weddings (1984). Methodologically, the article draws on semiotic works of J. M. Lotman and K. H. Stierle. Hrabal’s novel provides an image of the city in the period of political upheaval. This can be seen as a re-coding of the old arrangement of the city to a new one and is exemplified on the fates of several characters. Several borderline protagonists, namely the central protagonist – the narrator – and the character of the doctor come to the fore in this process. These, rather than creating the outer limits of the city, form its inner boundaries. They share some features with the inhabitants of the city, but also occupy the position of strangers. They belong neither to the old nor the new political establishment and attempt to flee the city or view it from the position that is different from both relatively static establishments. Further on, a key role in this respect is played by elements of disorder owing to which the city’s semiosphere vanishes into unrestrained chaos. In this respect, it is possible to relate Hrabal’s text to the catastrophic model that exceeds the purely semiotic approach.

The study deals with the topic of initiation, development and implementation of the idea of constructing a new theatre building in Bratislava. Although the idea to build a modern Slovak National Theatre has its origin already in the interwar period, it was only realized in 2007, when the new theatre building was opened. The long process of the preparation and construction of the theatre was primarily determined by the complexity of this task, which could not be solved satisfactorily for decades. The competition for the design of the theatre was preceded by an urban competition for its location, where a decision was made between seven variants spread across the city. Later, the conditions of the architectural competition for the building (1979) were formed, which made extremely high demands on the architects, because the main goal was to create an innovative architecture not only from the formal, but also a technological point of view. In addition, another important goal was to combine spaces for drama and opera in one building, which was a unique solution at that time. Using the example of the genesis of thinking about the new modern theatre building as one of the national cultural institutions, the study identifies and describes the key moments of the post-war architectural discourse. The aim of the text is to expand urban and historical-architectural research with new topics, especially focused on the reflections of the foreign architectural scene in relation to innovations in the architecture. It is also so far the most detailed analysis of the crystallization of the designs of the new Slovak National Theatre, closely linked to the wider context of post-war buildings intended for culture purposes in Slovakia, which are becoming national cultural heritage today.

The article takes a look at four literary texts and analyses them from the perspective of literary flaneurship. In doing so, the study accentuates the category of subject and space of the city from the point of view of their mutually given constitution and the parameters of media fixation of the flaneur act. Textual analysis is based on the understanding of flaneurship as a way of reorganising of the objective city space. The article looks at Ján Rozner’s autobiographical novels Sedem dní do pohrebu ([Seven days to the funeral] 2009) and Noc po fronte ([Night after the front] 2010) in the context of textual creation of Bratislava as a palimpsest, uncovering layers of city’s history in the intersection between personal memory and history. Stanislav Rakús’ novel Temporálne poznámky ([Temporal notes] 1993) is read primarily through the prism of literary flaneurship seen as a way of resisting disciplinary mechanisms of totalitarian power attempting at utilitarian structuration of space and time. The analysis of Peter Macsovszky’s Mykať kostlivcami ([Making skeletons dance] 2010) accentuates the intertextual handling of the space.

This article is aimed at the presentation of the activities of individuals − inhabitants of Bratislava during the revitalization and out planting of smaller areas of greenery in the vicinity of a pre-war housing estate UNITAS, Ružinov, and also in individual city areas of the Old Town, the town square and the recreational area. It is shown on the example of one of the contemporary forms of volunteering − "Adopt your flower pot". The attention during this project is not only pointed at the forming of local patriotism and the aesthetic of the places we're living in, but also on creating social contacts (neighbourly contact, generational contact).
