Ämnen: Onlineresurser: Sammanfattning: The book is a collection of texts about the city. The city appears in them as a dynamic spatial figure and a multidimensional cultural and social idea. The authors: ethnographers, cultural anthropologists, sociologists, and historians, create an urban mosaic. They present various adjacent, interpenetrating, and sometimes conflicting strategies for getting to know the city and including it in scientific reflection. Sometimes they do it, for instance, on the margins of discussions on the relation between cultural anthropology and history. The city inspiration is a challenge for them, which they try to harness by describing and interpreting changing urban landscapes and local history that builds local heritage, or tracking "urban threads" in various cultural texts. This volume is dedicated to Professor Grażyna Ewa Karpińska – an ethnographer and cultural anthropologist associated with the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Łódź. THE CITY – herein described and interpreted in various ways – is the dominant topic and area of her research, publication, teaching and expert activity. Her scientific achievements include, among others, studies on the culture of industrial workers, as well as ethnographic explorations and anthropological reflection on such categories as urban everyday life or the past in the landscape of cities and towns.
