    Awans społeczny a relacje rodzinne w biografiach akademików z klas ludowych
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Łuczaj, Kamil; Kurek-Ochmańska, Olga Małgorzata
    This article refers to problems that have not been explored in the Polish research space so far, namely educational opportunities and career paths for academics from working classes. The basic source of data in this article are narrative biographical interviews with academics employees of Polish universities who, coming from a family with modest intellectual traditions, and scarce social, cultural and economic capital, have managed to achieve success in the scientific world. The main research question is: how is the configuration of various types of capital accumulated in the family related to the development of an academic career in Poland? The authors of the article propose the dissemination of new theoretical concepts: »anti-capital of a family« and »upward cultural capital«.

    Ja-chłopka, ja-miastowa. Doświadczenie migracji ze wsi do miast w pamiętnikarskich relacjach kobiet w Polskiej Rzeczpospolitej Ludowej
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Gospodarczyk, Marta
    This article aims to describe the processes of identity changes of rural-urban women migrants in the 1950s and 60's Poland. Based on an analysis of diaries, two ways of creating one’s identity in the context of social images of the rural and the urban, as well as social constructs of femininity in urban and rural settings will be described. Two models of migration process will be presented based on two diaristic narrations, analyzed with tools associated with the biographical method. Diaries will be examined in the context of contemporary modernization discourse, in opposition to conventional binary images of the rural (»backward«, traditional) and the urban (modern, active), as well as femininity models associated with rural and urban spaces. The article aims to present the female experience of migration and ways of adapting to a new lifestyle.
