‘Forced cultivation?’
Community gardens are often projected as alternatives to individualism, neoliberalism and social acceleration. We interrogate these imaginaries through the practicalities of gardening, particularly gardeners’ relationships with soil, by focusing on the disjunctive temporalities of community gardens in Poland. Specifically, we explore how these gardens promote ‘forced cultivation’, understood as culturally and politically motivated interferences w…
Komunikacja jako szansa i więź-zobowiązanie w wypowiedziach mieszkańców Gambii na temat migracji do Europy
Artykuł zawiera analizę roli komunikacji w życiu Gambijczyków migrujących do Europy. Bazę empiryczną stanowi 60 wywiadów pogłębionych przeprowadzonych w Gambii, uzupełnionych o obserwacje etnograficzne. Analiza koncentruje się na relacjach między migrantami, ich rodzinami, społecznościami w Gambii i Europie oraz na przekształceniach relacji zachodzących w kontekście mobilności międzykontynentalnej. Wyniki pokazują, że komunikacja z Europejczykami…
Labor, Work, and Action in Polish Community Gardens
Widely considered a socio-ecological innovation, the community garden may appear a model for better human-environment relations. This article draws attention to the work needed to grow a garden and applies Hannah Arendt’s framework to demonstrate that labor, work, and action are predominantly disconnected in Polish community gardens. Their separation prevents most community gardens from becoming vehicles of urban sustainability. Yet they have an …
Slippery pathways to socio-ecological utopias of community gardening
A study of disillusionment in Polish families hosting refugees from Ukraine in 2022
This study explores the experiences of families hosting Ukrainian refugees following the Russian invasion. It uses narrative interviews with Polish hosts and reveals their experiences, from initial solidarity and pride to frustration and a sense of moral disappointment. The analysis identifies the phenomenon of disillusionment as hosts navigate the complexities of everyday life with their guests, contrasting initial expectations with face-to-face…
Dziki w mieście
Artykuł przedstawia analizę dyskusji internetowych o obecności dzików w mieście w szerszym kontekście wiedzy o tym gatunku i relacjach ludzi z dziką przyrodą. Przedmiotem analizy były komentarze zamieszczone pod filmami przedstawiającymi dziki w przestrzeni Trójmiasta, nagranymi i opublikowanymi przez mieszkańców. W wyniku analizy stwierdzono, że ekspresja i przypisywanie innym określonych tożsamości światopoglądowych zdawały się być ważniejsze n…

The mother of all worries
Adult Children Move Out
This article examines the differentiation and change in the shared eating practices of parents and their adult children, linking theories of sacrifice with empirical research. Drawing on 26 qualitative, in-depth dyadic interviews, the authors analyse the transformation of expectations sensed by the parents before and after their adult children leave home. While the article confirms the significance of meals for family relationships, it further de…
A study of applause in family ritual
With reference to the previous empirical works on applause, we explore the roles it plays during the first birthday celebration using multimodal analysis. Particularly, we focus on modes of its initiation and collaborative enactment. The empirical material includes 25 videos from different Polish families. The analysis demonstrates that applause works in interaction (1) as a ritual anchor that allows the participants to move to either the end or …
Od redaktorek. Sztuka w socjologii jakościowej bez rewolucji. Krótkie wprowadzenie
Niniejszy numer tematyczny skoncentrowany jest wokół dwóch pytań: po pierwsze, jakie miejsce zajmuje sztuka w jakościowych badaniach socjologicznych, a po drugie, jak za pomocą działań artystycznych i badawczych można zmierzyć się z problemem inności i obcości (także w relacji artystów i badaczy). Dotychczasowe doświadczenia wskazują, że najbliższe związki między nauką i sztuką realizowane są w ramach podejść krytycznych i zaangażowanych. Autorka…
Polska gościnność w świetle zapisów autobiograficznych
The research material included about 300 episodes from 30 published sources. A targeted selection was made according to a combination of three criteria: a diversity of social positions among the authors, the biographies of the authors, and the detail of description. An analysis of the material was conducted in order to contribute to a better understanding of the social significance of hospitality. Theoretical assumptions about hospitality in cond…
A candle to blow out
The article investigates two interconnected issues: the interaction organization in a family ritual and the modes of small children's participation in it. Focusing on the celebration of a first birthday in Poland, we explore how the different modes of a one-year-old child taking part in the multiparty interaction are collaboratively produced. We present two contrastive cases in terms of differences in space arrangements and children's body contro…
