Selling One’s Favourite Piano to Emigrate
International migration is a common phenomenon of the contemporary world; however, not all the aspects of migration are adequately investigated. In this book, migration is described by academics from various European countries who see it not only as an economic, but mainly as a social process. Thirteen texts, written by authors from seven countries, consider migration from various perspectives regarding its social consequences for migrants, their families and entire societies. Although the majority of the texts pertain to the Polish context (connected with Poles as migrants, but not necessarily Poland as a country), in general, the book can be qualified as an illustration of current migration from the less developed parts of the unified Europe, which impacts on the economies and societies of the European continent. A few years ago, one had to sell their favourite belonging, a piano, to collect money for the journey. These days it is much more accessible, but not less complex, and various examples from this book offer a unique insight into the variety of human flows in the contemporary world.
Between History and Personal Narrative
This collection focuses on a variety of fictional and non-fictional East European women's migration narratives, multimodal narratives by migrant artists, and cyber narratives (blogs and personal stories posted on forums). The book negotiates the concept of narrative between conventional literary forms, digital discourses, and the social sciences. It brings together new perspectives on strategies of representation, trauma, dislocation, and gender roles. It also claims a place for Eastern Europe on the map of transnational feminism. (Series: Contributions to Transnational Feminism - Vol. 4) [Subject: Sociology, European Studies, Women's Studies, Feminist Studies, Gender Studies, Migration Studies]
Ethnologia Europaea 45:1
This issue opens with Katarzyna Wolanik Boström and Magnus Öhlander's inquiry into mobile physicians and their pragmatic use of proto-ethnographic insights so as to facilitate their day to day work with culturally diverse patients. Gabriella Nilsson uncovers how school nurses, too, habitually draw on their knowledge of class and family background while implementing normative medical guidelines on childhood obesity. Maria Zackariasson seeks to show how members in a faith-based youth organization experience and handle the pull and push of faith and peer group sociability. Ewa Klekot examines different traces and registers of memorialization of recent Polish history in two districts of Warsaw. Disciplinary memory is augmented through Konrad J. Kuhn's analysis of Swiss scholars' participation in the Europeanization of Volkskunde. With Laura Hirvi's observations among young Finnish artists in Berlin, the issue concludes with another set of transnationally mobile actors.
Practices of Ethics
This book is intended for social sciences researchers, in a variety of disciplines, including sociology, sociolinguistics, psychology, gerontology, and ethnography, who, during all stages of their research, be it quantitative or qualitative, are confronted with ethical dilemmas. As such, the chapters in this book provide the reader with examples of ethical reflection within the research process. The selection does not cover all the possible ethical issues they may face, but all of the chapters deal with the complex and unexpected, but fundamental, ethical questions that arise before, during and after fieldwork, and which do not always find clear guidance from the professional ethical codes t...

Praktyki flirtu i podrywu. Studium z mikrosocjologii emocji
Książka stanowi eksploracyjne studium emocji miłosnych w praktykach flirtów i podrywów. Zawarte w niej analizy są rezultatem wieloletnich badań terenowych prowadzonych w sanatoriach, w środowisku kuracjuszy oraz podczas imprez klubowych, w gronie młodych ludzi bawiących się w klubach. Efektem przeprowadzonych badań jest rozpoznanie zjawisk afektywnych w bezpośrednich interakcjach damsko-męskich o podłożu romantycznym i erotycznym, przebiegających w kontekstach towarzyskich. Książka łączy etnograficzną rekonstrukcję działań emocjonalnych w praktykach miłosnych z teoretycznymi rozważaniami związanymi z rozwojem studiów nad przebiegiem interakcji, fenomenologią emo...
Miasto, przestrzeń, tożsamość
Problematykę książki wyznaczają relacje między trzema pojęciami i - co za tym idzie - koncepcjami teoretycznymi: tożsamością miasta, tożsamością mieszkańców oraz przestrzenią publiczną. W publikacji podjęto próbę uchwycenia elementów należących do specyficznych i dystynkcyjnych zasobów wiedzy, form ekspresji oraz znaczeń, które wpływają w rozmaity sposób na kształtowanie się współczesnych tożsamości ludzi i miejsc. Trzy wybrane do analiz empirycznych miasta: Gdańsk, Gliwice i Wrocław, stanowią interesujący obszar badań ze względu na kształtowanie się tam nowych tożsamości w kontekście ich historii oraz transformacji przestrzeni publicznych.
