Selected Concepts of The Region
in Polish Sociology
A b s t r a c t
The aim of this article is to present the most important concepts
of region in Polish sociology. After World War II the
majority of sociological studies of regions were based on
definitions which described the region as a private homeland
of regional community that is integrated by regional identity.
Such community lives in a territory which is a type of physical
container for identity and culture. A region is a physical
space in which a regional community meets its needs; it is
a concept of region used by an inclusive and Marxist version
of modernization theory. The first concepts mentioned above
emphasized regional awareness superstructured on regional
patterns of satisfying needs, while the latter objectively existing
structure of regional economy and society. Recently an institutional
perspective has been developed. Such a theoretical
perspective makes us see a region in terms of relational qualities
of regional space, institutions, society as well as symbols
and myths created in the public discourse.

Książka „Życie codzienne (w) Archiwum” powstała w ramach prac zespołu naukowców zaangażowanych w projekt Archiwum
Badań nad Życiem Codziennym. Stanowi ona zapis tego, co było najważniejsze dla owego przedsięwzięcia: refleksji nad codziennością, nad tworzeniem internetowego archiwum jakościowego i nad sposobami korzystania z niego. W pierwszej części opisano, w jaki sposób doszło do pojawienia się polskich badań and codziennością, jak rozwijały się one od PRL-u, jaki jest dzisiaj ich status oraz jaka może być ich przyszłość. W drugiej części przedstawiono, jak powstawało ABnŻC
oraz jakich informacji dostarcza o rodzimych badaniach codzienności.
W trzeciej części zaprezentowano różne sposoby korzystania z Archiwum. Pokazano w niej, że ABnŻC może nie tylko dostarczać
wiedzy akademickiej, np. na temat relacji między ludźmi a zwierzętami
albo emocji opisywanych w pamiętnikach mieszkańców Ziem Zachodnich, czy być narzędziem użytecznym w dydaktyce, np. przy nauce analizy tekstu, ale także umożliwia refleksję nad zjawiskiem budowania i funkcjonowania archiwum, np. w kontekście selekcji materiału zawartego w danej bazie.

In the paper, we present the development of symbolic interactionism (SI) in Poland by tracing and discussing its beginnings, as well as the influence the Chicago School had on the reception of SI in Polish sociology. Furthermore, we differentiate between two trends in the development of SI in Poland. One is connected with the early theoretical elaborations of the SI orientation and translations of classical books representing this perspective; another is linked with empirical work underpinned by SI concepts and the grounded theory approach in empirical research and data analysis. Stressing the importance of translations of classical texts of SI in its reception in Poland, we emphasize the role of field research and applications of SI concepts in sociological investigations that we shortly characterize.
