Doświadczanie wielokulturowości osób pochodzenia żydowskiego w perspektywie dialogu międzypokoleniowego
Experiencing the multiculturalism of people of Jewish origin in the perspective of intergenerational transmission

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we present the ways in which young adults of Jewish origin experience multiculturalism. Gaining such experiences helps to shape self-knowledge and to build narrative identity. We also analyze the role that different cultures play for the socialization of a young person. The following concepts constitute the theoretical axis of our article: cultural pattern, habitus, intergenerational transmission, communicative knowledge, conjunctive knowledge and multiculturalism. We supplement our consideration of them with data from interviews that were conducted in a community of young adults of Jewish origin. We refer primarily to such life experiences as: sources of knowledge about oneself and Jewish culture, intergenerational transmission, the sense of one’s own difference, giving meaning to one’s origin, the need for community, intellectualism and mysticism, and constructing one’s own identity. The research referred to falls within a qualitative orientation
