Taki pejzaż”. Napisy na figurach przydrożnych w krajobrazie wiejskim
The article addresses a source rarely used by social researchers, namely the inscriptions on wayside crosses in rural settings. Crosses erected “in memory of” preserve social memory and forestall the natural process of oblivion. These inscriptions are the products of social reflection, and express collective representations and the collective opinion of the community. One can deduce the values most important to the community, and those most endan…

Socjologia II Rzeczypospolitej jako tradycja
The sociology of the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939) is presented as a tradition – a part of the heritage that is positively evaluated and transmitted from generation to generation. The tradition of sociology in Poland dates back to the partition period; it developed in the interwar period of independence and was tested during the Second World War and subsequently in communist times. The basic elements of the tradition are identified in the ar…
Both Researcher and Second-Generation Witness—On Rescuing Local Memory of the Holocaust in Poland
This sketch narrates an account of the author’s abundant years of fieldwork, delving into the Holocaust and memory thereof in the Polish countryside. The region selected is highly representative in a phenomenological sense: much of the destiny met by Polish Jews in rural areas played itself out in these lands. Born and raised in this vicinity, the author of the text at hand was able to obtain otherwise inaccessible information about the fate of l…
After Złote żniwa: An Attempt to Assess the Social Impact of the Book
Tracing de Tocqueville
Ludwik Krzywicki (1859-1941), a founding father of the social sciences in Poland, was one of the first European sociologists to visit the United States of America. His written impressions and observations were published in a little-known tome titled, Beyond the Atlantic (1895). Krzywicki’s journey and book are introduced here from a trifold perspective. First, Krzywicki undertook his travels to observe modernity emerging in America, and to see ho…
Ordinary Poles Look at the Jews
This article constitutes a meta-analysis of sociological surveys conducted between 1967 and 2010 on the attitudes of Poles towards Jews. This analysis covers factual knowledge about Jews, like/dislike feelings, social distance, cognitive schema, and views regarding Polish–Jewish history. The results reflect a general nonacceptance of strangers as well as a specific type of anti-Semitism with strong roots in and encompassing a broad spectrum of Po…
To America: Polish Sociologists in the United States after 1956 and the Development of Empirical Sociology in Poland
America was an attractive destination for European scholars and social scientists- their contacts, observations, experiences, and thoughts often became a subject of interest in itself to many other sociologists. Poles are no exception. Florian Znaniecki and William I. Thomas and their classic Polish Peasant in Europe and America, first published in 1918-20, is symbolic of contacts and influences between Polish and American sociology in the first …
Le Suicide in Poland: Analysis of the Spread and Reception of a Sociological Classic
In 2006 a Polish translation of Émile Durkheim’s Le suicide was published in Warsaw. Polish sociology is one of the most active in the European sociological tradition, both drawing and contributing to this, and has developed in close touch with the world’s centres of sociology. Yet Le suicide was not translated into Polish until more than one hundred years after the original edition. The paper explores this paradoxical situation, and traces the w…
The Struggle for the Freedom to Publish Pre-Election Poll Results: The Case of Poland
Poland abolished, in 2001, its severe legal restrictions on the publication of pre-election polls that had been existing since 1991. This article presents the history of these restrictions—why they were introduced and then abolished, how they functioned throughout the years, causing disputes, and finally what led to their abolition. The role of sociologists and pollsters in the struggle for the freedom to publish poll results is underlined. A des…
The Multifarious and Changing Functions of the Polish Sociological Association
The article analyses the history of the Polish Sociological Association against a background of changes in Polish sociology and in Polish society. Since the date of its origin (1957) the Association has performed three basic functions: (1) supporting the development of the discipline of sociology, (2) integrating the community of sociologists and disseminating its opinions and (3) advancing the sociological profession. The significance of these f…

Paul Lazarsfeld and Polish sociology: A historical record of contact, perception, and impact
This paper records the Polish aspects of P. F. Lazarsfeld's sociointellectual biography and examines his impact on Polish sociology. The analysis is divided into three chronological parts. In the 1930s, Lazarsfeld's empirical work inspired Polish sociologists in their studies on unemployment. In the late 1950s and 1960s, his model of empirical social research shaped the style of sociological practice in Poland. In the 1990s, some of Lazarsfeld's …
