The reason for that is to produce the information which may be useful in developing the event or the area. The case of the re- search is ”Jarocin Festival”. It is a Rock music festival, organized in a Polish town called Jarocin, since 1980. The main reason why this topic was chosen is author’s interest in music events, which she visits regularly. The idea was cre- ated after visiting one festival, which is organized in the area which was totally unknown, before the festival started to be organized there. It seemed to be in- teresting that someone started an event in a small town, which no one knows, and it become successful. Then came the main questions: How did it happen? What was done by the town municipalities and event organizers, to rise the popularity and gain more visitors? How does it affect the town and community? After considering all those questions, author decided to find out the impact of the festival on this small community. To complete the research, three main aims are set. First of them is: To find the event impact on the public sector and government organizations. This part in- cludes general changes in the community and surrounding area based on the point of view of the town’s government, public organizations and event organiz- ers. As well it will describe the influence on the town’s popularity and tourism development. Second aim is: To evaluate economic impacts on tourism and hospitality business. The focus of this point is local tourism industry. For the research is important to find out how the event influences local tourism organi- zations (hotels, restaurants and other private businesses) which may benefit or lose because of the festival. This evaluation may help to develop local busi- nesses and show how to use the event to get more benefits. Third aim is: To find out the event impact to the third sector: non-government organizations and community. This point is going to present the impact on local citizens, as well as find out there are any non-government organizations taking part in the event, and if yes, what is festival’s influence on them. The study is based on four main questions, which clarify the research goal: First of all - How the event affects the tourism industry in town? The purpose of it is 4 to find out how the event impacts on the community and influences town’s economy. Second question is – What has changed in the area because of the event? It shows how the event affects the area development. Third issue which needs to be asked is - Who benefits from the event and how? So who really gets the profit and who may take profit in the future. Is it profitable for town’s municipalities, festival organizers, local businesses, residents or other organiza- tions? The last question is - What are the pros and cons of the festival. The an- swer may create the information how to develop the event, based on the knowl- edge about its advantages and disadvantages. To answer the objective, aims and research questions, author used primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were collected by qualitative research method. The information was gathered by making a questionnaire, which was sent to the recipients via e-mail, as well as some of the responses were col- lected personally. The study area is Jarocin town. The target group consists of the local government institutions, festival organizers, and local private busi- nesses. The sample size consists of 6 respondents. The sampling method used for conducting the research is non-probability sampling, as the respondents were selected purposefully by the researcher. The time frame of the study in- cludes last three festivals, years 2016 to 2018. Secondary data

By contrast, music which is popular but perceived as “bad” has generated surprisingly little interest. This dissertation looks at Polish post-socialist music through the lenses of musical phenomena that came to prominence after socialism collapsed but which are perceived as controversial, undesired, shameful, and even dangerous. They run the gamut from the perceived nadir of popular music to some works of the most renowned contemporary classical composers that are associated with the suffix -polo, an expression

  • Zagrożenia Jednostki We Współczesnym Społeczeństwie Ohroźeni Jedince V Soucasne Spolećnosti Threat to the Individual in the Contemporary Society
    Wydawnictwo Naukowe Akademii WSB Zagrożenia jednostki we współczesnym społeczeństwie Ohroźeni jedince v soucasne spolećnosti Threat to the individual in the contemporary society Redakcja naukowa: Marek Walancik Stanislava Hoferkova Dąbrowa Górnicza 2019 Punk subculture in Poland - from rebellion to stylization Mikołaj Brenk Abstract: Contemporary punk in Poland can be characterized as a heterogenous phenom­ enon, undergoing changes, which occur on several levels. This text has briefly characterized the five levels on which the possible activity of people who understand and identify with the punk subculture in a different way can be considered. First of all: contemporary Polish punk takes part in concerts, often organized In the form of large music events, where through the outfit he expresses his passion for the subculture. The second possibility Is to refer to the splendour of the Polish punk through sentimentaljourneysin timeintheform of events, books, films, interviews with musicians playing on the punk stages in the 80s or the participants of these events. The third option is the social activity, undertaken in the spirit of anarchism and freedom, opposition to capitalist rules, where the outfit and the punk-styled external look sometimes move to the background. The fourth option of activity of contemporary punks are informal groups, which spend their free time through their nihilist and anarchist lifestyle and the use of stimulants. Finally, the fifth element of expressingthe punk subculture Is pulling it into the fashion trends in chain stores with clothing, thanks to which it becomes one of the products to choose from and at the same time is devoid of an ideological layer.

  • Chapter 10 the Present and the Future of Polish Coastal Music
    Chapter 10 The Present and the Future of Polish Coastal Music Festivals Ewa Mazierska In this chapter I present the history of three Polish popular music festivals, Open’er in Gdynia, Audioriver in Płock and Jazz na Molo (Jazz on the Pier) in Sopot, all taking place near the sea or a river. I also examine how they cater for their audiences and sustain themselves and speculate about their future, taking into account factors which are conducive for their survival and expansion and those which might negatively affect their sustainability and development. In my research I draw on the history of music festivals in Poland and the current situation of music and other festivals in this country, captured by the term ‘festivalisation’. I draw on academic work on festivals, conducted in Poland and elsewhere, as well as information about festivals distributed by the media, including their websites. I also use interviews with their organisers and participants, as well as my own experience of attending two of them. Popular music festivals in Poland of state socialism After the Second World War Eastern European countries and Poland especially experienced the decimation of music venues, and nationalisation of the remaining ones, as well as subjecting them to centralised planning, governed by ideological principles rather than income generation. However, the more years that passed since WWII and Stalinism, the more spaces (literal and figurative) were created for the consumption of popular music. The watershed was the 1960s, when several popular music festivals were set up in Poland, which proved important cultural events, beginning with the International Music Festival in Sopot, in 1960 (in the years 1977-1980 the Intervision Music Festival), the Festival of Polish Songs in Opole, existing officially from 1963, the Festival of Soviet Songs in Zielona Góra, from 1965 and the Festival of Army Songs, first in Połczyn-Zdrój and then Kołobrzeg, from 1967.

  • Screamed Poetry: Rock in Poland's Last Decade of Communism
    Screamed Poetry: Rock in Poland’s Last Decade of Communism by Raymond A. Patton A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Brian A. Porter-Szucs, Chair Professor Geoffrey H. Eley Professor Ronald G. Suny Associate Professor Genevieve Zubrzycki © Raymond A. Patton 2011 Acknowledgements I have accumulated a number of debts as I have worked on this project over the past several years. First, I would like to thank Piotr Westwalewicz for introducing me to communist era Polish punk rock – a genre I never imagined could exist until Piotr played his recordings of Maanam, Lady Pank, and Republika. I also thank Brian Porter-Szűcs, my dissertation committee chair, for his support and enthusiasm for my work on what might seem an eccentric topic to a less inquisitive and open mind. His exceptionally insightful and timely feedback has allowed me to improve the quality of my work here many fold. I would also like to extend my gratitude to my entire committee – Geoff Eley, Ron Suny, and Genevieve Zubrzycki – for their roles in developing this project and broadening my analytical scope. I hope each can see the ways in which s/he has profoundly influenced my work. In Poland, I extend thanks to all the people at the Archiwum Akt Nowych, the Archiwum Panstwowe w Kaliszu, the Biblioteka Narodowa, and Polskie Radio, who never ceased to amaze me with the Polish practice of appearing cool and stone-faced at first meeting but growing increasingly warm, personable, and supportive with each encounter over the subsequent weeks and months.
