This article analyses the processes of creating the township on the example of Bome Sulinowo, one of the youngest cities in Poland. The collapse of the communism in the Centre and Eastern Europe ...caused, that Poland had made efforts for the revitalization of areas occupied by Soviet armies. Bome Sulinowo, a small city located in the north-western Poland, suffered the same fate as desolation of its areas after the departure of the Soviet Army and anew settlement by the civil settlers.

The paper deals with the activities of the writer Božena Němcová in Slovakia in the years 1851-1855. She visited Slovakia four times in this period (three times she visited her husband who worked ...here in civil Service, her last stay was intended as a cure, while most of the time Němcová devoted to ethnographical research). All her stays resulted in contributions based on active observation, ethnographic and folkloristic research, consultations with a number of Slovak intellectuals dealing with both humanities and natural sciences. The results of the individual stays differ both in form and quality. They proceed from joumalistic „causerie“ towards serious attempts of monographic elaboration of natural background, history, demography, sociological, ethnographical and gender facts of a given region. The contribution to folkloristic is outstanding. The writer used Slovak inspirations also in her fiction. Thanks to her activities, Božena Němcová belongs to the history of Slovak ethnology.
Although often described as a rural dialect of Modern Standard Hindi, in the last five years Bhojpuri has emerged as the language for a new cinema industry, complete with superstars, superhits, and ...media speculation about the particular 'rural values' that have catapulted the industry into success. But despite Bhojpuri's reputation as a 'rustic' way of speaking, Bhojpuri cinema critically inhabits both urban and rural spaces. While Bhojpuri speakers generally consider Bihar and Uttar Pradesh their homeland, millions have migrated into urban centers seeking work, and the films' modes of production, narrative themes, and distribution have followed them from Bihar to Mumbai. Understanding these films solely in terms of 'rural values' thus dismisses the interplay between city and countryside that gives meaning to 'ruralness' in the first place. This article traces the movement of capital, people, and films along the Bhojpuri cultural circuit, illuminating how rural and urban identities, technologies, and audiences constitute one another.
