Frogs, people and the world of meanings – problems of sustainable development in Poland
No full textIn the article author discusses problem of connection between environmental policy, social and cultural life in Poland. When talking about sustainable development, we should keep in mind not only statistic data related to local communities but also meanings that they put to natural environment. Do authorities take citizens opinion into consideration at all? Do ecological organizations see correlation between protection of nature and protection of cultural values? Is creating such a link possible at all? These and many other questions are considered according to field research conducted by author in Białowieża.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.

No full textFinal Death of the Author: Creativity in the Age of Information Society
No full textPretpostavimo da je kreativnost rezultat unutarnjeg dijaloga kreativnog pojedinca (autora) iz kojega nastaje nova informacija. No kako onda razumjeti kreativnost danas, kada je naša individualna svijest proširena elektronskim medijima i telemetrijski uključena u “globalni mozak”? Sveprisutnost informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije omogućuje nam da stvaramo nove informacije brže negoli ikad prije i pohranjujemo ih u forme umjetne memorije, u koje može svatko ući. S obzirom na to čini se da je pojam autorstva prevladan, a unutarnji dijalog zamijenjen intersubjektivnim dijalogom. Držeći se teorije medija Viléma Flussera i Marshalla McLuhana, problematiziram novu paradigmu kreativnosti kakva se razvija u dobu informacijske tehnologije.If we assume that creativity is a result of the inner dialogue of creative individual (author), during which he creates an improbable combination of elements (i.e. new information), how can we comprehend creativity today, after we technologically extended our individual consciousness and connected it into a “global brain” via telematics? Prevalence of information and communications technology enables us to create more new information than ever, and allows us to store it in artificial memory, where it could be reused by almost anyone. In the age of ICT, author seems to be superfluous and the inner dialogue has been replaced by interpersonal dialogue. Taken into consideration Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media, I will try to problematize new paradigm of creativity, as it is disclosing in information society

We all have an Easy Rider inside – shadowing technique in students’ lifestyles’ research
No full textThe text presents an approach which bases on participant observation, but is significantly more intensive and considerably interferes in peoples’ everyday life. The observer becomes a “shadow” of the observed people and accompanies them in everyday activities. This technique was crucial for the research made by the author and concerning students’ lifestyles, commissioned by Sustainable Lifestyle Research Center, carried out by the group of students from the University of Łódź. The text describes goals and results of the project and aims to show briefly the problems and chances of using shadowing tools in anthropological work
The stereotypical and promoted image of the tourist product of Poland in awareness of the UE inhabitants
No full textThe main purpose of the article is to discuss issues concerning the “tourist image” with the view to define it properly against the background of the literature of that subject, as well as to show the complexity of relations between a tourist image and a tourist product.
In the article Poland is treated as one global tourist product – the place. The tourist image of our country is than analysed from two different angles. First of them being the “supply” aspect of tourist image i.e. promoted product and the second seen as the “demand” aspect from the point of view of a tourist. The latter, before the trip to a given country, usually being a kind of stereotypical one, which later, hopefully, transforms into a given tourist’s personal image and eventually has a decisive influence on the general image of the given product.
There is also a hypothesis raised, that the general image of Poland as a tourist product is at present negative in the countries of the UE in both of its aspects. The above thus applies both to the promoted image of our country (which was proved on the basis of the analysis of the contents of five guides of Poland accessible abroad and the review of trips to Poland on offer in some catalogues of foreign tour operators) and to the stereotypical image of Poland (according to the results of survey investigations conducted with inhabitants of chosen foreign countries).
The author thinks that due to the wrongly chosen, un-diversified from the point of view of different tourist markets of the EU, tourist offer, Poland remains the unknown country, not identified with any significant tourist attraction. The country, where due to the poor tourist promotion, the tourist's personal perception after visit appears finally much better than promoted and stereotypical images, which seems to be a highly unfavourable phenomenon
