„Ale dlaczego dwaj do ciebie mówią »kochanie«?”. Konsensualna niemonogamia w polsce w perspektywie antropologicznej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Stasińska, Antonina
relationships in postmodernity. While psychology and sociology currently dominate this topic, an anthropological approach based on ethnographic research can provide a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. Ethnography allows for the examination of diverse strategies and practices adopted by people living in a nonmonogamous manner. The anthropological approach, which places individual human experience at the center of cultural context, has the potential to broaden an understanding of concepts such as jealousy, relationship/ frienship, and family. The author examines the development of concepts of non-monogamy, polygamy, and monogamous family by looking at the beginnings of anthropology and then critically reading them in relation to the contemporary social world and her own fieldwork conducted among women living in consensually nonmonogamous relationships in Poland.

Family networks of people with disabilities and their role in promoting the empowerment of people with disabilities
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Stojkow, Maria; Żuchowska-Skiba, Dorota
Family members are the key source of social, emotional and financial assistance for people with disabilities throughout their lives. However, the role of the family undergoes significant changes in different periods of the life of people with disabilities. During childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age, people with disabilities need other forms of support, which means that they undertake educational, professional or family activities related to starting their own families and bringing up children. Around that time, their relationship with the family is changing. The role of the family is becoming limited in the area of control and assistance in making life choices for people with disabilities.Our goal will be to reconstruct the family’s presence in social networks of adults and to identify socio-demographic and emotional factors that affect the number of contacts with the family. This will be the starting point for presenting the impact of family relationships on strengthening empowerment and promoting self-determination among adults with disabilities. The analysis will be based on data from Social Diagnosis 2015.

Identity and the sense of subjectivity in parents of children with intellectual disability in the context of family life destabilization
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Niedbalski, Jakub
The lives of families who take care of people with disabilities are full of unexpected events, unwanted situations, and difficulties that accumulate at every step. Therefore, bearing in mind the purpose of this paper, I focused on determining those conditions which are a source of destabilization in the lives of families with intellectually disabled children. I try to reconstruct the sources of threats to the sense of subjectivity and the shaping of the identity of parents who have children with disabilities. The theoretical framework of the analysis is symbolic interactionism. The research material used in the presented article is composed of personal experiences of parents of disabled individuals, and unstructured interviews were performed with these people. Analysis of the research material was performed in accordance with the procedures of grounded theory methodology.

Let women out and men in - the Swedish gender equality politics on labour market and in families
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2011) Szymoniak, Katarzyna
The aim of this article is to analyze the Swedish gender equality politics and its influence on the gender equality on the Swedish labour market and within families in period between 1970s and 2000s. Problems such as wage differentials, occupational sex segregation and unequal distribution of paid and unpaid work between the sexes were faced from the beginning of the 20th century up to 1960s. In order to address those issues gender equality politics was launched in 1970s including enacting of the law on separate taxation and law on gender equality. Moreover, a special family politics was launched encouraging men and women to divide childcare and housework equally. On one hand Swedish gender equality politics contributed to the growth of women’s participation in labour market, to minimize wage differentials and it also made sex distribution between the occupations and at the leading positions in companies and institutions more equal. Moreover, this politics led to more equal distribution of unpaid work between men and women at home. On the other hand it must be pointed out that none of these problems has been completely solved. Women’s wages are still generally lower than men’s and women and men tend to work in different sectors. Women still take greater part of parental leave and tend to do the bigger part of unpaid work. Although a signifi cant change in the level of gender equality has been made since 1960s, which can be considered a success of the Swedish gender equality politics, there is still much that needs to be done in order to achieve gender equality both on labour market and in families.

New technologies and institutionalization of everyday family life in liquid modernity
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Taranowicz, Iwona
Tools are one of the basic carriers of culture. Most individual activities, including family practices, have their roots in objects. The introduction of new tools has always been resisted at the beginning because it violated the institutionalized forms of life. Contemporary processes that deeply change the family make old behaviour patterns affecting family life useless. Furthermore, tools continue to develop and new devices, such as the computer or the mobile phone, keep coming out. New communication technologies require new behaviour patterns that institutionalize various forms of family life occurring in liquid modernity.

Olha Kbylianska and Eliza Orzeszkowa: two women, one idea
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2013) Lange, Anja
Olha Kobylianska and Eliza Orzeszkowa lived nearly at the same time, at the end of the 19$^{th}$ century. Both wrote novels about the faith, life and identity of women, especially about the gender roles of men and women, therefore I call their novels feministic ones. I consider them to be key works of feminism because they show the situation of women in their time. The aim of this article is to compare the novels Tsarivna by Kobylianska and Marta by Orzeszkowa to discuss some aspects of the situation of women in the 19$^{th}$ century in Eastern Europe.

Opowiadanie w społecznym układzie stołu. Analiza konwersacyjna spotkań rodzinnych
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Rancew-Sikora, Dorota
The storytelling approach is a new chapter in the study of linguistic activity. The research does not focus on the content nor structure of the finished verbal products, but rather on an analysis of processes by which stories are created and performed in particular social contexts. Within this approach in recent years a trend to study small stories has evolved, one which is especially concerned with interactional and pragmatic roles of stories in social relations and for shaping the social identities of the participants. The purpose of this article is to examine in detail and present the processes of small story production in the situation of gatherings of families and their guests at the table. It is aimed at discovering some aspects of social organization and the social importance of small stories told at the table. Stories are treated here as parts of the »table culture«, complementary to other important elements of this social setting. The theoretical grounding for the investigations is in conversation analysis. The empirical material includes 82 sequences of storytelling at the table.

(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Walczak, Anna
The article contains discourse analysis, revealing family model, child’s position and construction of housing space in IKEA catalogues from period 2011–2014. The analysis is also focused on year by year changes, showing representation of gender, leisure time, house and care duties and values. All visual representations of people from the first and the third part of the catalogues were analyzed. The study shows that the IKEA’s catalogue is to be understood not as a simple brochure on interior design but as a statement on family, free time activities, and home duties division, and reconstruct selected ideologies such as ecology and corporate social responsibility.

Transnarodowość w przestrzeni domowej polskich rodzin migracyjnych w Norwegii
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Ślusarczyk, Magdalena; Pustułka, Paula
An already complex notion of home requires inclusion of a wide array of factors that determine what home is and is not. Understanding home necessitates crossing multiple nation-state borders and cultural boundaries, while also featuring negotiations within family traditions. In the article, we examine at which moment migrants create a home, and we outline determinants of geographic/material and emotional/spiritual facets of said home. We seek to show where home is equated more with house/building, locating it vis-à-vis an emotionally meaningful home as a safe haven and a place where migrants »feel at home«. We depict how various »homes« overlap in the sending and receiving countries. As such, home is understood here as a safe place, but also as a persistent symbol of ideas and values originating from the country of origin, as well as elements added, expanded and transformed through a migratory experience. By focusing on narratives pertaining to home in general, as well as specific practices linked to ways of celebrating and culinary practices that occur at home, we see home as a family identity project.
