Go to Dissertation Series. Studies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy Abstract Why do taxi drivers work when they work? Unlike those in many other occu- pations, taxi drivers do not have fixed working hours. This raises the ques- tion of what influences their working time. Based on a combination of quali- tative and quantitative research conducted in Warsaw between November 2012 and June 2013, this dissertation argues that the working time of War- saw taxi drivers is anchored in four “temporal structures”: earning time, waiting time, political time and domestic time. First, taxi drivers’ working time is dependent on the demand for their service, which structures their earning time. I argue that, since taxi drivers are coordinating agencies, their earning time is dependent on multiple superior coordination agencies that make up the multi-layered temporal architecture of Warsaw. Such agencies include the religious calendar and the state calendar. Second, taxi drivers’ working time is shaped by a temporal structure of waiting time. I trace the origin of this structure, showing how waiting time is linked to the emer- gence of capitalism in Poland in 1989. However, while the introduction of capitalism created the structural conditions for waiting time, I argue that waiting time is reproduced every day as taxi drivers have to cope with the uncertainty of demand for their service. Third, taxi drivers’ working time is anchored in political time since they try collectively to improve their working conditions through voice. I distinguish between different forms of voice, showing how and why the political actions of taxi drivers have been largely unsuccessful. Finally, taxi drivers work when they work because of a tempo- ral structure of domestic time. Taxi drivers’ working time is shaped by the temporal order of their family life, which is often in conflict with the rhythm of the market. I describe how the gendered nature of domestic time, charac- terized by an unequal division of household labour, enables male taxi drivers to work long hours. By providing an explanation for taxi drivers’ working time, which highlights the temporal dimension of social life, this dissertation shows the need for economic sociology to study the impact of time on eco- nomic practices.

It studies all the depth levels, scales and the sectors directly with the aim of following their movements of structuration, destructuration and restructuration and rupture, finding their explanation in collaboration with history. If a shorter definition is desired, it could be said that sociology is a science which studies total social phenomena as a totality of their aspects and their movements, capturing them in a dialectic of microsocial, group and global types, in the process of becoming and disintegrating. Out of this dynamic conception of sociology, emerges the problem of time in which the life of the social framework, total social phenomena and their products, and particularly their structures unfolds. This problem is absolutely primary to sociology. The social structures themselves are not stable, but are discovered, on the contrary, to be involved in a perpetual movement. Moreover, the scale of social time wherein they move is very often divergent from the time scale in which the subjacent total social phenomena live.” Georges Gurvitch, The Spectrum of Social Time (1964: 11, emphasis in original) 3 CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................... 7 INTRODUCTION: ECONOMICS AND SOCIOLOGY .................................................... 8 CHAPTER 1.

  • Perceived Façade Colours in Different Daylight Situations: Survey in the Old Town of Warsaw
    Journal of the International Colour Association (2017): 17, 92-119 Sochocka and Fridell Anter Perceived façade colours in different daylight situations: Survey in the Old Town of Warsaw Anna Sochocka1,2 and Karin Fridell Anter3 1Faculty of Architecture WUT, Warsaw, Poland 2Faculty of Architecture NTNU, Trondheim, Norway 3SYN-TES Colour and Light Network, Sweden Emails: [email protected]; [email protected] The study was initiated by a debate on the methods for selecting façade colours in the reconstruction of the Old Town in Warsaw. In this debate, the difference between the nominal façade colour and the façade colour as perceived in the cityscape was not acknowledged. The nominal colour is here defined as the colour that the surface would have if viewed in the standardised situation used in the definition of Natural Colour System (NCS) samples, including standard light, viewing distance and surrounding colours. The nominal colour is expressed through the NCS notation of the colour sample that is the most similar to the façade in direct comparison, and for a newly painted façade it corresponds to the NCS notation of the paint. The aim of the present study is to investigate the difference between perceived colour as seen from a distance of approximately thirty metres, and the nominal colour of the same façades. The method is based on previously published work by Fridell Anter using the NCS for survey and analysis. The perceived colours of nine façades are determined under different weather conditions, in a total of 84 observations. The analysis shows that the perceived blackness of the façades is generally lower than the nominal blackness.

  • Katarzyna Uchowicz, Reading Muranów. Memory of a Place
    RIHA Journal 0108 | 31 December 2014 | Special Issue "Contemporary art and memory" Reading Muranów. Memory of a place / memory of an architect Commentary on the postwar work of Bohdan Lachert Katarzyna Uchowicz Editing and peer review managed by: Katarzyna Jagodzińska, Międzynarodowe Centrum Kultury, Kraków / International Cultural Centre, Krakow Reviewers: Marta Leśniakowska, Joanna Sosnowska Wersja polska dostępna pod adresem / Polish version available at: http://www.riha-journal.org/articles/2014/2014-oct-dec/special-issue-contemporary-art-and-memory- part-1/uchowicz-muranow-pl (RIHA Journal 0107) Abstract The text concentrates on the concept of South Muranów – a residential quarter / monument realised in the area of the Warsaw ghetto by the architect Bohdan Lachert. It attempts to show this work as an artistic myth created by the artist. An analysis of the architect's texts and a reconstruction of the circumstances in which the project was realised, as well as the details of Lachert's biography reveal new layers of this architectonic palimpsest. Clear references to the bold visions of Śródmieście (City Centre) by Maciej Nowicki and an adaptation for the purposes of residential quarter / place of memory experiments at transforming rubble, popular in the 1940s, provoke questions about the originality of the concept of Muranów, whose unquestionable value is the spatial composition stemming from pioneering experiments by Katarzyna Kobro, organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, and Nowicki'c new functionalism. The history of the quarter is at the same time a microcosm of the initial years of rebuilding Warsaw and of the socialist realist chaos after 1949, as well as a record of the search for artistic subjectivity of a Modernist architect in a new reality.

    140 The Architectural Legacy of Stanisław Bukowski in Vilnius – a Contribution to Further Research Sebastian Wicher Sleńdziński Gallery in Białystok [email protected] This article is a supplement to the author‘s monograph entitled Żyć architekturą. Życie i twórczości Stanisława Bukowskiego (1904–1979), published in 2009. The author presents the less known activity of Bukowski as an architect, town planner and conservator of monuments in Vilnius and its area in the years 1936–1945. Keywords: architect Stanisław Bukowski (1904–1979), modern architecture, architecture and urban planning in Vilnius, Vilnius monuments, artistic life in Vilnius, interwar period in Vilnius, Vilnius during World War II. 141 1. A portrait of Stanisław Bukowski by Krystyna Wróblewska, 1941, from the collection of Joanna Łempicka Krystyna Wróblewska, Stanisławo Bukowskio portretas, 1941 Stanisław Bukowski [illus. 1] was an architect and urban planner, who earned his reputation in Polish historiography as the person behind the restoration of monuments destroyed during World War II in Białystok. The restoration of the late baroque residence of the Branicki family became his opus magnum. Yet before he arrived in Białystok in April 1945, he had spent nearly ten years living in Vilnius. Bukowski is the only architect from Białystok whose life and work have been chronicled in a monograph1. It is a summary of the research based on previous publications devoted to the architect. As far as the Vilnius period is concerned, the publication was a 1 Sebastian Wicher, Żyć architekturą. Życie i twórczość architekta Stanisława Bukowskiego (1904–1979) (To live architecture.

Writing in the catalogue for the Constructivist-oriented Wystawa Nowej Sztuki (New Art Exhibition), held in the Polish-Lithuanian city of Vilnius in 1923, Żarnower described a new collective “delight” in the “simplicity and logical structure” of machines, “the equivalent of which is located in the simplicity and logic of artworks.” 1 The following year, Żarnower co-founded the Fig. 1.

Oscillating between life and death, the Jewish hideouts were a space of the most diverse and extremely complex hu- man relations – a specific realm of everyday life, with its own inherent logic. Based on different literary sources, especially wartime and post- war testimonies of Jewish escapees, the author seeks to examine the realm of hideouts to develop a novel, interdisciplinary perspective on this often neglected aspect of the 20th-century history.
