Przykład wybranych projektów programu europejskiej współpracy terytorialnej 2007–2013 Autorzy: Błaszczak, Dawid; Filipiak, Olga Abstrakt: This paper presents analysis of connections between institutional participants of crossborder cooperation Poland and German for example selected projects of the European Territorial Cooperation 2007–2013. The relations were analysed in the context of the social capital concept (Pierre Bourdieu, Ronald Burt, James Coleman, Robert Putnam, Nan Lin) using basic network indexes: density and centrality of the network, degree of the nodes, amounts of bridges and brokers. Authors described the structure and dynamics of relations on the borderland between Poland and Germany, and the position of nodes in network. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/4730 Tytuł: Komunikacyjny i symboliczny wymiar edukacji językowej na Śląsku Opolskim – przypadek języka niemieckiego Autorzy: Sobieraj, Iwona Abstrakt: Mother tongue is one of the most important aspects of preserving identity of national or ethnic minority. Being in force since 2005 the Law on National and Ethnic Minorities and Regional Language minorities in Poland secures the right to preserve and maintain their language and to introduce it as an assistant language in municipalities. In the Opole province this refers to the German language, which also in the whole country dominates in teaching minority languages. Analysis of statistical data on the size of the German minority in Poland tends to reflect on the double meaning of the German language in the Opole Silesia. Is learning German as a minority language, fulfil such a role? To what extent German is ‘sui generis’ and to what extent „lingua franca” in the Opole Silesia? To answer this questions, the Education Information System data, the data of the National Population and Housing Census 2002 and 2011, as well as the statements of representatives of German minority were analysed. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/4729 Tytuł: Mieszkańcy pogranicza zachodniego o niemieckich sąsiadach a Polacy o Niemcach Autorzy: Dolińska, Kamilla; Niedźwiecka-Iwańczak, Natalia Abstrakt: The paper includes the results of the sociological survey accomplished in Zgorzelec (2010), Gubin (201 3) and Słubice (2015). In each case the same methodology was applied – structured interview with probability representative samples. The paper focuses on issues: 1. The emotional approach of the inhabitants of Zgorzelec, Gubin and Słubice, i.e. declared level of liking, indifference or antipathy towards German neighbours, and the opinions on mutual relations. 2. The readiness for contact with a German neighbour appearing in different roles (“the close ones”, “professional”, and the roles “connected with the market”). 3. The type of contacts with Germans – the reasons of mobility to the neighbouring German town by the inhabitants of Zgorzelec, Gubin and Słubice and frequency of border crossing in order to achieve particular goals. Interethnic relations in the situation of geographical vicinity and the open border are shaped on different grounds than the ones in the interior. We try to compare the results of the research accomplished in the borderland with the data obtained from the research done on the all-Polish sample (by the Institute of Public Affairs). The paper includes also methodological reflections (about comparison of researches within borderlandstudies and research on borderland effect). 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/4728 Tytuł: Pogranicze polsko-niemieckie w refleksji socjologicznej z perspektywy ćwierćwiecza Autorzy: Makaro, Julita Abstrakt: The article covers the area of twenty-five years scientific outputs in Sociology regarding the Polish-German borderland.
