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.
Powieść autobiograficzna jako dokument osobisty i podobny do pamiętników konkursowych materiał badań socjologicznych
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Kubera, Jacek
The article presents selected arguments in favor of treatment of autobiographical novels in sociology as personal documents. Firstly, the assumptions of the biographical method (or biographical perspective) are demonstrated. All of them can be applied in social sciences analysis using both diaries (autobiographies, memories) written in competitions organized by sociologists and autobiographical novels published in the book market. As it is known, the tradition of research on competition diaries is related to the names of sociologists such as F. Znaniecki, J. Chalasinski, W. Grabski, L. Krzywicki, J. Szczepanski and Z. Dulczewski. Secondly, the author of the article makes an attempt to answer why autobiographical novels can be used in social science research. For this purpose, the author points out the similarities between both of the above-mentioned types of narration. At the end, it is presented why the probability criterion (met by both the competition diaries and autobiographical novels) is the most important feature in the study of personal documents. This criterion gives the researcher the opportunity to discuss, among others, the attitudes and values of social categories which include the author of the document and which also are described in the document.
Fenomenologiczna jedność doświadczenia psychodelicznego - analiza treści trip raportów
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Garczewski, Piotr
The subject of the present paper is to focus on the psychedelic experience, perceived by the author as a coherent, repeatable phenomenon. This was enabled by analyzing stories collected from people who admitted to using specific psychoactive substances. The author was inspired by a group of University of Harvard researchers who were actively involved in the American counter-culture of the 1960s. This group attempted to explain the following phenomenon using Eastern philosophy and religion. In contradiction to this idea, the author proposes a different method based on Western traditions of philosophy and social sciences.
Digital storytelling: creative writing as a form of participation in literary culture
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Stetkiewicz, Lucyna
Digital storytelling on the website Lubimyczytac.pl contributes to an increase in the reading public, to active participation in literary discourse, and to the change of passive consumers of popular culture into active agents of the field of literature. With the use of the anthropological approach and the tool of virtual ethnography, one sub-segment of this website is investigated to find out how one communication media (printed books) enhances both creative writing and reading itself, and how the latter cultural pattern is promoted.
