Moreover, a substan- tial number of contemporary scholarly works have erased the thin line between material evidence and its interpretation. As a consequence, the architectural remains of Polish Romanesque edifices are often considered the basis for wider comparative research. Meanwhile, fragmentarily preserved structures of Romanesque buildings have allowed scholars to conduct research on their origins and models, but they have rarely provided enough information for spatial recon- structions of them. This means that one might investigate the process of transposing patterns from the Holy Roman Empire to Poland instead of the influence of Polish masons’ lodges on each other. Therefore, this paper has two aims. The first is to look at how imperial pat- terns affected the main stone structures (cathedrals and collegiate 1 Originally, my paper entitled ‘In the Shadow of Salian and Hohenstaufen Cathedrals: The Artistic Influence of the Holy Roman Empire on Polish Romanesque Architecture in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries’ was given at the ‘Borrowing Images of Empire’ seminar during the Medieval Congress in Leeds in July 2014.

  • Treasures of Culinary Heritage” in Upper Silesia As Described in the Most Recent Cookbooks
    Teresa Smolińska Chair of Culture and Folklore Studies Faculty of Philology University of Opole Researchers of Culture Confronted with the “Treasures of Culinary Heritage” in Upper Silesia as Described in the Most Recent Cookbooks Abstract: Considering that in the last few years culinary matters have become a fashionable topic, the author is making a preliminary attempt at assessing many myths and authoritative opinions related to it. With respect to this aim, she has reviewed utilitarian literature, to which culinary handbooks certainly belong (“Con� cerning the studies of comestibles in culture”). In this context, she has singled out cookery books pertaining to only one region, Upper Silesia. This region has a complicated history, being an ethnic borderland, where after the 2nd World War, the local population of Silesians ��ac���������������������uired new neighbours����������������������� repatriates from the ����ast� ern Borderlands annexed by the Soviet Union, settlers from central and southern Poland, as well as former emigrants coming back from the West (“‘The treasures of culinary heritage’ in cookery books from Upper Silesia”). The author discusses several Silesian cookery books which focus only on the specificity of traditional Silesian cuisine, the Silesians’ curious conservatism and attachment to their regional tastes and culinary customs, their preference for some products and dislike of other ones. From the well�provided shelf of Silesian cookery books, she has singled out two recently published, unusual culinary handbooks by the Rev. Father Prof. Andrzej Hanich (Opolszczyzna w wielu smakach.

  • Tourist Attractions
    Tourist attractions Opole Silesia is an attractive region for every tourist and hiker. Due to its geographical location, it has long been a place of intersecting roads and trade routes. Historical factors have likewise made it a region open to migration and colonisation, as well as a place of asylum for religious refugees. In consequence, it has become a territory in which various cultures have mingled, in particular Polish, German, and Czech. Traces of these cultures and their transformations can be found in the architecture, handicraft and folklore of the region. The cultural heritage of Opole Silesia consists of architectural, folkloric, and natural wealth. Treasures of material culture – palaces, churches (including wooden ones), chapels, monuments, and technological monuments – often appear closely connected with the natural world. Parks, gardens, arboreta, zoological gardens and fishponds once were established in the close vicinity of palaces. Churches and chapels were accompanied with melliferous lime trees, which are now under protection. Sculptures of St. John Nepomucen once adorned bridges, rivers, or crossroads. Apart from an impressive number of man-made monuments, Opole Silesia also has natural monuments of exceptional value. In this respect, it belongs to the most important regions in Poland. There are many rare and endangered plant and animal species, unusual fossils, as well as numerous forms of inanimate nature, such as rivers picturesquely meandering in their natural river beds, springs, caves and the occasional boulder. The most valuable natural areas and objects are protected in landscape parks and nature reserves. Introduction 1 Moszna It is one of the youngest residential castles in Silesia, an architectural colossus (63000 m³ of cubic capacity, 7000 m² of surface area, 360 rooms, 99 turrets).

  • Dorota Świtała-Trybek Tasty Events. on Culinary Events in the Silesian
    Dorota Świtała-Trybek Chair of Culture and Folklore Studies Faculty of Philology University of Opole Tasty Events. On Culinary Events in the Silesian Voivodeship Abstract: The topic of reflection undertaken herein are public events having an evident culinary character. In the first part of her essay, the author proposes a typology of culinary events, with special focus on those events which appear in the public space the most often. Their number and considerable complexity are associated with the target participant group, the current patterns of consumption, gastronomic styles, and finally with functions which have been ascribed to those events. In the second part, she discusses selected culinary events organised in the Silesian voivodeship which have characteristic dishes (e.g. wodzionka, moc- zka, kołocz) associated with the local cuisine as their Leitmotif. These events are usually in the form of open-air festivals with contests for the best-prepared dish as their regular feature. Key words: culinary events, Silesia, tradition, regional cuisine. “The pleasure of eating is the actual and direct sensation of satisfying a need. The pleasures of the table are a reflective sensation, which is born from the various circumstances of place, time, things and people who make up the surroundings of the meal” [Brillat-Savarin 2009: 189–190]. This passage from The Physiology of Taste, written almost two centuries ago, express the essence of culinary sensations, at the same time accen- tuating the fundamental and unchangeable truth: food and pleasure are inseparable. The range of circumstances in which food may be enjoyed is nowadays broader than ever and it constantly expands, determining new forms of activity and spending free time, shaping new lifestyles.

  • Nudle, Karminadle I Kreple, Czyli Kuchnia Śląska Bez Tajemnic

Nudle, karminadle i kreple, czyli kuchnia śląska bez tajemnic. W: T. Gęsina, W. Wilczek (red.), "Kuchnia w języku i kulturze dawniej i dziś" (S. 131-142). Katowice : Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego Beata Kiszka, Wioletta Wilczek Instytut Języka Polskiego im. Ireny Bajerowej Uniwersytet Śląski w Katowicach Nudle, karminadle i kreple, czyli kuchnia śląska bez tajemnic Słowa kluczowe: nazwy potraw, kuchnia śląska, regionalne odmiany polszczyzny, tradycja śląska Z losami i rozwojem każdego regionu, jego historią i tradycją, ści- śle związana jest sztuka kulinarna. Kuchnia śląska, która stanowi temat niniejszego artykułu, nie jest jednak zwartym i jednolitym systemem gastronomicznym. Wynika to zarówno z zajmowania przez ziemię ślą- ską terenów po obu brzegach dolnej Odry i Nysy Kłodzkiej, dalej całej Wyżyny Śląskiej i Zagłębia Górnośląskiego aż po Beskidy (Sztabowa, 1985: 6), jak i z krzyżowania się na terenie Śląska kulinarnych wpływów z różnych stron Europy, a także spoza starego kontynentu. Dość wspo- mnieć chociażby o – mających ogromne znaczenie w kształtowaniu się tutejszej kuchni – śladach przenikania innych kultur, m.in.: słowiań- skiej (zwłaszcza czeskiej), niemieckiej, austriackiej, włoskiej, a nawet tureckiej (Żarski, 2012: 171). Wielokulturowe koneksje kuchni śląskiej przekonują zatem o jej wyjątkowości. Z kolei dla gospodyń z tego regio- nu niejednokrotnie były i są źródłem inspiracji czy też zachętą do się- gnięcia po nieznane dotąd potrawy (Jakimowicz­‍Klein, 2014; Rupow- ski, 2004). Temat kuchni śląskiej w podjętych rozważaniach został ograniczo- ny do regionu Górnego Śląska, mianowicie do okręgu bytomsko­‍kato- wickiego, obejmującego zwarty obszar miast przemysłowych od Mysło- wic po Gliwice, a także rejon Płaskowyżu Rybnickiego.

Birds, of course. Birding. Even, truth be told, just occasionally, other birders. And, if you happened to be part of our congenial and universally interested group in Kraków, just about everything else—from the origins of the word (or words?) “slug” to the meaning of heraldic swans and the vexed identity of the Polish National Museum’s most famous mustelid. In between captivating conversation, we explored the landscapes, natural and cultural, of Poland’s most appealing city and the surrounding countryside.
