The paper researches the attitude Yugoslav feature films and television series had towards the phenomenon of economic emigrants from Yugoslavia for the period 1970–1980. Special attention was paid to the way the Yugoslav film industry constructed the character of the guest worker and how the key problems of the guest worker’s life were depicted on film and in television series. The research is based on the hypothesis that film reflects not only the personal stance of its author but also the stance of the general public which justifies the need for this kind of sources to be analyzed.

The article undertakes the contextual and theoretical analysis of “reactionary modernist” features present in the works by two German scientists who moved to Serbia in the wake of the First World War: Čujte Srbi (1928) by Archibald Reiss and Crnogorski čovjek (1934) by Gerhard Gesemann. Both authors juxtaposed Serbo-Montenegrin patriarchal communitarianism and warrior mentality with the adoption of Western-oriented individualism and the modernization-imbued progressive view of history. The peculiarity of these two texts lies in the secularist evaluation of Serbian religiosity, conservative stance towards gender relations and the reexamination of the national identity construction and Serbo-Montenegrin state-building projects. As antimodernist writings, they reinvented Balkan traditions as an alternative source of regeneration for the decadent interwar political and social system (with the significant difference that Reiss believed in the rectification of modernist mistakes, whereas Gesemann explicitly perceived the social system he studied as ancient).

This overview paper shows how the stance of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) developed until it accepted the Leninist position on the alliance of the proletariat and the peasantry (peasant question), considered by the Comintern to be a truly scientific-socialist stance, and it presents the party’s view on both agrarian reform and peasant ownership of land in general in Yugoslavia in the interwar period (the agrarian question).The primary sources used were CPY sources, limited to the documentation of the party’s central organs (published congress and conference documentation, CC of CPY announcements, articles by party functionaries, brochures and other propaganda material). The paper indicates the key turning points in CPY’s policy on the agrarian and peasant questions and a visible lack of practical results of the party’s activity in rural areas in the observed period. The tactical side of the party’s policy is also shown: in the domain of the peasant question (it expressed solidarity with the poor peasants attempting to attract their political support); in the domain of the agrarian question (CPY tactically omitted to clearly present its agrarian program).

During the historical development of urban-type human settlements, spaces of public and private use have evolved. Public space, as an expression of social life as well as cultural and functional transformations, is an intrinsic element of the spatial structure of the city. Contemporary Uniejów had developed on the basis of two centers, located on both sides of the Warta river: a market settlement and medieval town on the right bank, and a castle on the left bank. The development of the public space system of Uniejów can be divided into three stages, which illustrate the evolution of relations between the town and the castle, and changes of the town’s functions. Amplification of recreational, cultural, touristic, and (currently) health resort functions created a strong stimulus for development of the public space network, which has now assumed a more complex form – a multi-knot and multi-axis network-type structure. This network is the main public space of Uniejów.

Smoking tobacco was very popular in the 18th century among all social groups. The custom of smoking in company was also noted in municipal books from the Old Polish period. Several entries in municipal records from the year 1763 address a dispute over a pipe with tobacco. A group of representatives of local elite gathered in a house of one of the burghers. The mayor of Uniejów smoked a pipe borrowed from a merchant of Zduńska Wola. The merchant demanded that he return the tobacco, and disrespectfully dismissed the offer to pay for the tobacco, whereupon the irritated mayor slapped him on the face. A fight ensued, in which both of them sustained numerous wounds and bruises. The mayor was sentenced to a week’s imprisonment. This scene reflects the mentality of those times, i.e. impulsiveness of hot- tempered burghers in resolving even such minor disputes.

The aim of this work is to assess land use on flood hazard areas in Uniejów in respect of potential negative consequences for the environment, cultural heritage, economic activity and people. The area examined is a flood hazard zone where flood risk is 1% (medium level). The land use was analysed using the topographic database and land inventory. The assessment of land use on the areas exposed to floods is related to the concept of flood risk, which means the combination of the likelihood of flooding and related potential negative consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity. Land use on the areas exposed to floods in Uniejów was found to be correct because open spaces dominate, allowing the flow of flood waters.

The castle of Gniezno archbishops in Uniejów was, after the first extension carried out around the mid-15 th century, one of the largest and most interesting castles of the late Middle Ages in central Poland. 15 th century sources mentioning the Uniejów castle are very scarce – just short notes in archbishops’ and consistorial records and in the registers of the Gniezno chapter. They mostly refer to administrative matters of the Uniejów castle or provide information about events that took place at the castle. Due to the attractiveness of the castle as place of residence it was often visited by archbishops during their journeys, while its defensive value made it a perfect place for keeping the treasures of the Gniezno chapter.

Valleys had very important influence on settlement development and now delimit spatial layout of villages.

All villages were located within the wide valley bottom, on the surface of river terrace accumulated in plenivistulian period and built of sand and gravel, beyond extend of food water.
