  • Contemporary Directions of Transformations in the Settlement and the Landscape of Rural Areas
    Contemporary directions of transformations in the settlement and the landscape of rural areas... QUAESTIONES GEOGRAPHICAE 39(2) • 2020 CONTEMPORARY DIRECTIONS OF TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE SETTLEMENT AND THE LANDSCAPE OF RURAL AREAS IN THE SILESIAN LOWLAND Janusz Łach, BarBara szczepańska Faculty of Earth Sciences and Environmental Management, University of Wrocław, Wrocław Manuscript received: January 31, 2020 Revised version: May 4, 2020 Łach, J., szczepańska B., (2020). Contemporary directions of transformations in the settlement and the landscape of ru- ral areas in the Silesian Lowland. Quaestiones Geographicae 39(2), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 55–73. 7 figs, 2 tables. aBstract: Rural areas of the Silesian Lowland, undergoing social and economic transformations today, have had a strong impact on the formation of the region’s settlement landscapes. Political and economic changes after 1989 have affected the development of rural areas, in particular of ‘privileged’ settlements for which the proximity of towns and a trunk road are favourable factors. The result of these seemingly positive factors is the escape of young people (potential farmers) to the cities and an influx of new settlers. This affects social behaviour and activity, as well as the visual rural landscape, creating suburban zones with residential and leisure functions. The village seems to have lost its typical character but has it really? The subject of the research is, therefore, an analysis of changes in the spatial and social structure of a rural village as exemplified by Borek Strzeliński, which allows setting out its functions. The research issue is to determine the level of social activity of rural residents and their attitude towards the local cultural heritage, which influences their identity and the value of the landscape.

  • Creating Culture Through Food, a Study of Traditional Argentine Foods
    Unit Title: Creating Culture through Food: A Study of Traditional Argentine Foods Author: Kyra Brogden George Watts Magnet Montessori, Durham, NC Subject Area: Writing and Language, Social Studies Topic: Food and culture Grade Level: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Lower Elementary) Time Frame: 4 days of 45-minute lessons on Argentine food, nutrition and culture Cooking: 3 days of cooking and 1 day to put together the cookbook *The cooking lessons will require more time and resources. Also the cookbook may require going through a rough draft and final copy that can occur after the lessons themselves are completed. That can be done at the teachers’ discretion. Brief Summary: This unit will focus on helping students understand the role of nutrition and food in defining a culture by studying Argentine nutrition and food. The first four lessons will focus on comparing nutritional guidelines, evaluating food, and a discussion about meal times in both the United States and Argentina. The students will then embark on a series of three lessons that each focus on a traditional Argentine food. The students will cook the food, create a nutritional analysis, learn about the history of that food, and then write food reviews. The students will ultimately make a cookbook with the recipes, pictures, nutritional analysis, and their own food review. Established Goals are taken from the Common Core Standards for Grade 2: Research to Build and Present Knowledge 7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g. read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations) 8.

  • Russian Food: Old and New
    Russian Food: Old and New Published 30 March 2020, with Darra Goldstein Darra Goldstein recently retired as professor of Russian literature, language and culture at Williams College. From the start though, she's been as interested in food as in literature and history, and she combines those passions in her books. The latest of those is called Beyond the North Wind, Russia in Recipes and Lore. That sounds like a fairy story or a folk tale. Darra Goldstein: I'm glad it evoked that because I very much wanted to. The title actually comes from the ancient Greek name for a utopia called Hyperborea, which means beyond the north wind, and it was described by Pliny and Herodotus as this place where the Sun always shone, there were beautiful, tall, blonde people, and most importantly, it was the birthplace of technology. And in their writing they described how to get there. You cross the Carpathians and you go over a river, you turn left at a certain rock. Russian geographers over the years have tried to pinpoint where that utopia was, and came up with the idea or the belief, the conviction that it was the Kola peninsula, which is in the far northwest part of Russia above the Arctic circle. And in fact, that area was settled by Vikings: tall, blonde people. The sun always shines there, at least in the summer months because of the midnight sun, even if it's dark in the winter. And early Russian sources describe these towers where the moon and the sun and the stars had been captured.
