Performativeness of folklore in contemporary culture. A thing about intercultural folklore festivals

Joanna Dziadowiec

The main goal of the book was to investigate to what extent specific, on the one hand staged, on the other hand unreal, festive, ludic and ritualized intercultural folklore practices (stage and behind-the-scenes), taking place in a specially constructed and arranged space, can constitute an interactive response to alienation and alienation. man's passivity in the contemporary world and the lack of feeling that he is part of a community. The results of the author's research have shown that intercultural folklore festivals, as syncretic structural and organizational systems of intangible cultural heritage, have the power of an interactive remedy for excessive individualization on the one hand, and universalisation and unification on the other. By being the postulated bridge between cultures, they can awaken the participants of these events from lethargy and incite them to be active.
The book is a summary of the author's many years of field research conducted in 2006-2011 among participants of 37 European folklore and folk festivals (12 countries) with a broad theoretical part (critical analysis of studies on folklore, tradition and heritage, theories of performance, ludicity, symbolic interactionism, communication intercultural and heritage management). Moreover, the book contains a collection of postulates. Their implementation may contribute to the deepening of multidimensional reflection and discussion on the subject - contrary to appearances, dynamic and variable - matter, and above all to its demythologization, increasing its visibility and awareness of the role and importance of festivals and the folk movement in the international socio-cultural discourse (in the academic debate and in popular culture) mainly in the context of intercultural relations and cooperation in the protection and management of intangible cultural heritage.
The publication is based on the doctoral dissertation, which received the first prize in the competition for the best doctoral dissertation in the field of cultural sciences, organized by the National Center for Culture (11th edition). It has been published both in print and as an e-book (available in online bookstores).

Dance folklore of Podlasie in education

Marcin Bochenek

The dance folklore of Podlasie is an interesting page that was written long ago, and its content is intriguing in many ways. You can be inspired by it, you can rediscover it. To convey in the traditional or more elaborate version "creating" about these events and communities.
The folklore that captivates us in various local variations, old communities and their environment will not return - and this is not what it is all about. We are not able to recreate many elements, but we try not to lose the remaining ones.
The work, which is an important contribution to the cultivation and cultivation of the beautiful folklore of Podlasie, includes theoretical and practical, as well as the results of empirical research, studies and preparations intended for instructors, students, teachers and a wide group of Podlasie folklore enthusiasts.
Podlasie melodies (recorded by Eugeniusz Sokalski, Aleksander Oleszczuk and Zenon Celiński) in an arrangement by Przemysław Marcyniak were recorded in the studio of the Polish Radio, S4 im. Jerzy Wasowski. These recordings, in addition to the publication, can be found on on page  of the Song and Dance Ensemble "Podlasie".
We hope that the outline of Podlasie dances and melodies presented in this way will allow the readers to fully implement this content and, together with the music, inspire them in their didactic work.
