Authors: Fibrianie Etwin , Cahyadi Dwi
Published: December 2017

AbstractBags for students, especially for preschool-aged children have an important role, namely as learning media in the field of education. Attractive and innovative bag designs are highly required to make acceptable and favorable bags for children. This research uses quantitative method. Design and development of educational bags for preschool-aged children were done through the early stages of planning (mind mapping) and of concept development (determining needs identification). The concept development process began with the dissemination of 30 questionnaires to preschool-aged children to identify the consumers’ need for the bags. From the development process, there were three primary needs and 14 target specifications which were then linked in 8 matrices in the chart of a needs-metrics matrix. This research resulted in educational bag designs for preschool-aged children based on need matrix. Keywords: bags, product design, ergonomics, innovation, primary needs, target specification, need matrix. AbstractBags for students, especially for preschool-aged children have an important role, namely as learning media in the field of education. Attractive and innovative bag designs are highly required to make acceptable and favorable bags for children. This research uses quantitative method. Design and development of educational bags for preschool-aged children were done through the early stages of planning (mind mapping) and of concept development (determining needs identification). The concept development process began with the dissemination of 30 questionnaires to preschool-aged children to identify the consumers’ need for the bags. From the development process, there were three primary needs and 14 target specifications which were then linked in 8 matrices in the chart of a needs-metrics matrix. This research resulted in educational bag designs for preschool-aged children based on need matrix. Keywords: bags, product design, ergonomics, innovation, primary needs, target specification, need matrix.

The Polish American narratives, memories and identities in the historian’s job
Authors: Wojdon Joanna
Published: December 2017

The article concerns different kinds of “personal” (in contrast to “official”) sources used by historians dealing with the post-World War II Polish American history. The Author considers advantages and shortcomings of analyzing personal correspondence, personal memos, diaries and memoirs, formal and informal interviews and other oral testimonies, but also difficulties and problems they bring to a researcher. Studying those types of source is however often crucial in the absence of official archival documents reflecting e.g. the ethnic identity of the large group of the Americans of Polish descent, or the backstage of the process of their assimilation and organization in the United States.

Feliks Badowski, Z Warszawy do Wrocławia przez puszczę – relacja powstańca warszawskiego
Authors: Pęcherz Maciej
Published: December 2017

Feliks Badowski (born on 17th May 1923 in Warsaw) was a soldier who fought in ZWZ-AK (Union of Armed Struggle-Home Army). His account concerns his education and work, war experiences and life after the war.

This witness describes in great detail his work in industry in occupied Warsaw and his struggle for independence in the frames of ZWZ-AK. He also mentions his studies within Towarzystwo Kursów Technicznych

(Technical Courses Association). A vast part of the narrative is devoted to Feliks Badowski’s participation in the Warsaw Uprising – he tells us, amongst others, about preparations for armed resistance against the occupier, how the army units were organized in the first days of fighting, and about the attack on the citadel.

A lot of focus is given to partisan activity in Kampinos Forest – the witness explains, for example, the structure of partisan forces, their help for the fighting Warsaw, sabotage actions and how they received deliveries by airdrops. This account gives us also some insight into the way the inhabitants of villages and towns near Warsaw perceived the Warsaw Uprising. Also, it relates the marching-out of partisan units and their way towards the Świętokrzyskie mountains, during which – near Żyrardów – they were defeated by Germans. A separate part of the narrative is devoted to reminiscences from post-war Wrocław – Feliks Badowski explains why he came to the Lower Silesia and pictures relations in his new place of work – Pafawag (Państwowa Fabryka Wagonów – National Rail Carriage Factory).
Icelandic chapter in the Polish book: a narrative perspective on Polish migration to Iceland
Authors: Ólafs Helga , Wojtyńska Anna
Published: December 2017

The paper presents a narrative perspective on Polish migration to Iceland based on one example of a woman, called Irena. Her biography served for an anthropological analysis used in biographical approach in social sciences with the assumption that the story of one life of a particular person can give some general knowledge – in this case about migration patterns and experiences. The story of Irena presented in this article is also an interesting example of the narrative journalism, since the biography is presented like a non-fiction essay, written by a journalist who accompanied Irena for several months during her stay in Iceland and was actually a part of her migration experience.

Bronisława Guza, Z Pokucia na Dolny Śląsk
Authors: Zubowski Piotr
Published: December 2017

In her narrative Bronisława Guza (born in 1929) talks about the life of her family in Obertyn – a small town in the former Stanisławów province – starting from 1930s and WW2 period, to the post-war years when she came to Lower Silesia. In her recollections she describes places that played an important role in the town’s life: Saints Peter and Paul’s church and priests serving in it, a convent belonging to the Congregation of the Servants of the Holiest Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception from Stara Wieś, along with an orphanage run by the nuns (which she used to attend as a child), the market square on market days, various shops, houses, a mound made to commemorate the battle of Obertyn in 1531, as well as a cross standing on its top. She tells us about relations between Obertyn’s inhabitants: Poles, Ukrainians and Jews – how they established and maintained close bonds, together celebrated holidays and weddings, participated in funerals, and so on – and about mutual respect for other denominations and customs. Bronisława Guza’s story of WW2 contains recollections of the Soviet and German occupations, circumstances of the Soviet re-entering at the end of March and at the beginning of April 1944, and of the activity of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists on these territories. The key moment for this time in history was in 1945, when a vast majority of the Polish community of Obertyn was resettled to the Western Territories. Bronisława Guza and her family ended up in Siedlce near Oława, where initially she lived together with the German, evangelical community of the village. The inhabitants settled down in the new place and tried to adapt to the new life conditions.
O relacjach byłych więźniów kacetów w kontekście czasu, miejsca i sytuacji ich powstania (albo o pożytkach z historii mówionej)
Authors: Filipkowski Piotr
Published: December 2017

One of the main objections against oral history interviews is their retrospective character – the distance from the time of events which are covered by the interviews. While it is not the distance itself that is the issue but its deforming potential: the susceptibility of memory to later, in relation to the discussed events, influences. Another issue is the influence of an interview situation itself, relation between the person documenting interview / the researcher and the so-called witness to history. 

The text starts with those theoretical and methodological questions and considers them on the example of concrete, empirical material. The material is the so-called representations of former Auschwitz prisoners gathered through decades by the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum as well as biographic and narrative interviews with the same people recorded in years 2002–2003 for the Mauthausen Survivors Documentation Project and archived in the Oral History Archive of the Karta Center and the History Meeting House. 

Thorough comparison of both accounts from the same person delivered orally at a different time, place and in a different context (biographic, social, historical) conducted by different institutions and on the basis of different methodologies allows one to analyze the influence of different contexts on the content of the stories told. The effect of those analyses is a new picture of dependencies between the memory of experience of there and then and the entanglement of stories of this experience with the here and now reality. This picture seems quite distant both from naive realism as well as – although today it may seem quite surprising – from extreme constructivism. Analyzed accounts prove to be quite stable and resistant to the lapse of time as well as the current context of an interview situation. In this last regard, on the basis of analyzed sources, one can formulate some methodological postulates related to its impact.
„Słuchajcie, co wam teraz powiem…”, Obsługiwałem angielskiego króla Bohumila Hrabala – fikcja literacka a „historia opowiadana”
Authors: Uczkiewicz-Styś Katarzyna
Published: December 2017

Oral history accounts area natural object of research for anthropologists, sociologists, researchers of cultural studies, ethnologists, as well as psychologists engaged in memory studies. As narratives of experience they became the antipositivist rebellion against the monopoly of major historical narratives that, according to the reflection of the second half of the 20th century, were supposed to lead to the catastrophes of war and genocide. 

In historiographic research the questioned positivist discourse based on the corresponding theory of the truth has become counterbalanced by the discourse of memory. As a consequence, also in historical research there is noticeable appreciation for other, non-classic, forms of historical narratives which include oral history accounts. 

What can a researcher of literary fiction contribute to reflections on oral history whose greatest value should be authenticity, this “truth of experience”? To what extent can literary texts in the convention of a narrative of appeal, first-person narrative, monologue (in which crucial roles are played by dialogue, orality and rhetoric of the text) be read in the perspective of oral history? 

When analyzing I Served the King of England novel by Bohumil Hrabal – author who by default rejects ‘the macrocosm’, the world of great politics, historical necessities, social processes, for the world of microcosm, i.e. a life of each person and what is more, he rejects any need for psychological or sociological (or any other) analysis of this microcosm – one can notice that the dichotomy of literary fiction and the authentic experience of oral history is not that obvious as it may seem. Categories of text, narration and memory, although analyzed from different research perspectives, are common for both forms.
Wangel Durlow, Z Grecji do Polski
Authors: Kurpiel Anna
Published: December 2017

Wangel Durlow is one of 7.5 thousand Aegean Macedonians that came to Poland as a result of the Greek civil war. In his narration he mostly recounts events related to the war and mandatory resettlement from his hometown in Northern Greece seen from the child’s perspective – Mr. Durlow was 12 when he left Greece. His account provides us with information on daily life and customs of the Macedonians living in Greece, difficult beginning of his stay in Poland resulting from cultural and civilization differences between Poland and Greece as well as education and upbringing of Greek children in Poland. 

Despite pleas of his parents, who settled in Yugoslavia after the Greek civil war, he has not decided to leave Poland where he graduated from school and married a Polish woman. 

There is a long description of the first meeting with his parents which took place only after 16 years of separation. The account of travels to Yugoslavia again emphasizes cultural differences between Poland Macedonia, especially the relation of the wife of Mr. Durlow with his parents. 

In spite of the fact that the story of Wangel Durlow touches upon difficult and sometimes traumatic matters, he is recounting it with a sense of humor and has perspective towards it; he is emphasizing the influence of kind-hearted people – Polish teachers, his parents-in-law, who many times helped him to handle unfamiliar Polish reality.

Czeska oral history w perspektywie globalnej. Podobieństwa i różnice
Authors: Vaněk Miroslav
Published: December 2017

The article aims to highlight the specific route of Czech oral history in comparison with developed countries, where oral history has been an age-old tradition. Czech oral history, same as oral history in other so called post-communist countries, did not experience that with oral history in 1960s and 1970s, oral history was totally unknown in the then Czechoslovakia (as well as in other countries of the so called socialist block). In the Czech Republic, oral history was used in the mid-1990s for the first time; but it took much more time before it stopped being ignored and criticized. Boom of oral history started in the end of 1990s, same like in South America or South Africa, and of course at the post-communist countries.

An increased interest in oral history, however, also brings along some problems and risks related with this new trend. I will examine some cases of journalistic work which passes itself off as oral history and which is often ideologically motivated. Mastering the method and a good knowledge of the historical context are, in my opinion, essential requirements for a valid historical interpretation, and lack of these can be crucial.
Kilka uwag o narracji biograficznej czeskich strażaków (projekt Społeczeństwo czeskie w okresie tzw. normalizacji i transformacji w świetle oral history)
Authors: Bortlová Hana V.
Published: December 2017

Through historical analysis and interpretation of memories of Czech/Czechoslovak firefighters who have been professionally active since 1960s until 1990s (and/or beyond), his paper aims to analyze the ways in which his socio-professional group has been behaving during the last 40–50 years. Given that only very little historical research has been done on members of this group, the paper represents a first pioneer attempt. The research is a continuation of previous research projects conducted by Czech oral historians focused on working class members and on changes of their opinions, attitudes and behavior before and after 1989. The author’s ambition is to contribute to the current knowledge of the nature and specifics of the mentioned „normalization” regime (1969–1989) as well as the „transformation-to-democracy” era (1990s) in Czechoslovakia. In the present paper the author outlines the current state of research (20 conducted interviews with 10 firefighters as to the end of 2012), comments on some methodological problems associated with oral-historical research of this group and offers her interpretations of selected topics.
Irena Mrówczyńska Z Kowla przez Syberię na Dolny Śląsk... Dorastanie na zsyłce
Authors: Jakimowicz Marcelina
Published: December 2017

In the latter half of 1941, over 100,000 Polish children lived in an area extending from Arkhangelsk to Nakhodka Bay; in the Altai Krai and the Soviet Socialist Republics of Central Asia. Among them there were a growing number of orphans in exile. There is no detailed information concerning the fate of these Polish orphans, who were placed into Soviet instructional and educational institutions, so-called “diet domy”. Most of the institutions taking in Polish children treated them as Soviet citizens but did not report this fact to any Polish institutions responsible for their care and wellbeing. Moreover, given their ‘Soviet’ status, the orphans had neither the right nor the occasion to contact the Polish embassy in Kujbiszew or any of its representatives. And for the younger children, their stay in these so-called “diet domy” usually resulted in instant Russification and Sovietisation. Irena Mrówczyńska’s account describes her childhood memories of pre-war Kowel, the children in exile in Siberia who were taken from summer camps in June 1941 and about post-war times in Jawor, a small town in Lower Silesia. Her story is exceptional because she grew up in exile. She was taken from school without her parents’ consent, put into the Soviet “diet dom” in Bojarka along with other children, before later being sent to the Polish Orphanage and Disabled People’s Home in Bolszoj Konstantinovce, where she spent 6 years. A twist of fate enabled her to contact the Polish embassy in Kujbiszew and report that there were other children in the Polish Orphanage and Disabled People’s Home that had also been “taken” from the summer camps in 1941. This account describes how traumatic the “kidnapping of children from the summer camps” was, resulting in the then 10-year-old girl being sent to the Soviet children’s home and the subsequent indoctrination of Sovietisation that thereafter influenced the rest of her life.
Historia mówiona – próba definicji pojęcia
Authors: Kierzkowski Michał
Published: December 2017

In the following article, taking into account the difficulties in defining the concept of oral history, I would like to propose a multifaceted approach to the problem. Instead of trying to define the main issue in a traditional, explicit way, I will try to define it from different perspectives. In this way I would like to prove that oral history and its complex construction cannot be defined in a short and explicit way and the multitude of existing definitions lead to chaos and some kind of reduction. My way of defining, which focuses on highlighting significant characteristics and all the necessary elements, is supposed to overcome the previous limitations. Instead of one definition, I present several subsequent formulations, which result from the multifaceted construction of this research practice.
Pamięć o ojcu. Refleksje z rozmów z rodzinami katyńskimi. Rekonesans badawczy
Authors: Łagojda Krzysztof
Published: December 2017

The article analyzes biographical narrations referring to the daily life of families of the victims murdered by Soviet troops in Katyn and other places in the former USSR. The text includes 12 biographical interviews and recorded memories of Katyn families. The text describes the years from the interwar period to the fall of Communism in Poland. The article describes memories of the Second Polish Republic period when families of Polish officers constituted the highest social class, about the moment of saying goodbye to a father who was setting off to the front and then was taken prisoner by Soviets. Using postcards and letters sent from prisoner-of-war camps, which are attached to the article, the author presents the context of the correspondence of families with their close relatives, the sudden break of this correspondence and the anxiety connected with this lack of messages from the camps. The author carries out a detailed analysis of the process of impossibility of accepting the death of loved ones by their families. The text also addresses the issue of the “Katyn lie” and its influence on the lives of families in the Polish People’s Republic, celebrating holidays, their social status after the Second World War and many others. Being aware that the topic is far from being fully described, the author poses a few significant research questions at the end of the discussion that require further analysis.

Janina Kwiatkowska, Przez Kazachstan i Polskę stalinowską do Londynu – opowieść emigrantki
Authors: Olaszek Ewelina
Published: December 2017

The article is the result of field research carried out by the author in Great Britain in 2013. It is a study of one of 21 accounts recorded with the oldest living Polish emigrants in London. The article is dedicated to the history of Hanina Melania Kwiatkowska born in 1930 in Kożany. Mrs Kwiatkowska was arrested during the war together with her family and deported to Kazakhstan where she spent six years. After the war she returned to the family estate, which the new Communist authorities transformed into a state-owned farm (PGR). The time spent in Stalinist Poland was the second phase of social degradation experienced by Mrs Kwiatkowska. Soon after the so-called “October thaw” in 1956, she managed to leave Poland and join her father, who together with other soldiers of the Second Polish Corps had stayed in England after the war. In London Janina Kwiatkowska experienced just another stage of degradation – as most Poles she started her stay in emigration with physical work. However, she quickly started to work her way up the professional ladder and she also got involved in the emigration environment of Poles in London.
Współczesny prasowy wywiad dziennikarski: techniki prowadzenia, opracowanie, publikacja
Authors: Borkowski Igor
Published: December 2017

A journalist interview is a well established and described genre. In many journalism textbooks it is recognized as highly important, as interview technique is both the key to acquiring information by a journalist (from people), and a way of conducting and analysing a longer literary text in a form of a dialogue between a journalist and interviewed person. The presented text discusses interview techniques, leading to creating an extensive text that would cover many topics. Such an interview, intended for publication, takes a shape of a live question-answer conversation between a journalist and his or her interlocutor. Attention is drawn to the most important steps of interview preparation: choosing the subject and the interlocutor, arranging scenery of the meeting, conducting and recording the interview, editing and preparing the text for publishing (in the light of Polish law all this has to additionally be hedged around with the right of the interviewed person to authorise the interview). The article presents the most basic typology of interviews: for a person (when the conversation focuses on the speaking person) and for a cause (when the subject matter of the talk is a field in which the interviewed person is a specialist). The author underlines an effort that has to be made by the journalist in order to prepare for an interview – there is the necessity for detailed research, acquainting oneself with the topic to be discussed, very good knowledge of the subject close to the interviewed person’s heart. He emphasizes also an important and widely discussed issue of the journalist’s responsibility for the person with whom he or she talks, as well as requirements regarding a successful interview: respect, interest taken in the interlocutor, keeping certain distance and also – fundamental for this profession – the problem of working under pressure of time and some brevity and the need to apply schematic attitude and simplify the journalistic narrative. The whole text is illustrated with numerous quotations taken from professional press and workshop materials in which famous and renowned masters of the press interview talk about their professional experience. In this text there are also remarks on the way a journalist works on the material he or she has collected and acceptable interferences in somebody’s statement. Also, the author mentions the issue of authorisation, which is an infamous remnant of the censorship which constituted a part of press law made in 1984 and – in its principles – valid till this day.
Świadek, protokół przesłuchania świadka oraz relacje jako źródło do badania dziejów historii najnowszej. Podobieństwa i różnice w pracy prokuratora IPN i historyka
Authors: Chorązki Marcin
Published: December 2017

Every questioning of a witness by a prosecutor is of a legal and formal nature. Its aim is to determine “what really happened”. A historian, if interested not only in reconstruction of the course of events, strives to get to know the world of the witness he or she is interviewing. These aims determine the methods, but do not exclude learning from each other’s experience, as well as results of investigations, inquiries and research. The same person can be the subject of interest for a narrative; a prosecutor and a historian can complement each other in their findings. This article represents a contribution to the discussion on the differences in methodology in the work of historians and prosecutors, as well as the importance of interviews with witnesses for the research on contemporary history.
W poczuciu niezasłużonej infamii – wstępne wyniki projektu dotyczącego żołnierzy ludowego Wojska Polskiego
Authors: Pałka Jarosław , Żłobecka Karolina
Published: December 2017

This article presents preliminary findings of the oral history project on the subject of the soldiers of the People’s Troops of Poland. Testimonies of ca. 40 “People’s Poland” veterans were recorded (giving more than 2000 hours of audio recordings). These soldiers fought on the Eastern Front, participating in, among others, the battles of Lenino, Budziszyn, and Berlin. The article describes the interviewed group and defines the method applied when conducting the interviews. It also gives a short account of how the interviewed were conscripted into the People’s army. The main part of the article is devoted to pointing to the similarities in the veterans’ accounts. These common elements include interspersing a personal narrative with a broad historical context, underlining that in their individual actions during the war and after it they encountered situations from which there was no escape, using the propaganda expressions dating back to the times of the Polish People’s Republic, and the feeling of being omitted (as a whole group of veterans of the People’s Troops) from the sphere of historical memory after 1989. In the last part of the article, plans for a monograph based on the project are presented.
Awangarda i outsiderzy. Rozważania o polskiej historii mówionej pomiędzy historią publiczną a dyskusją akademicką
Authors: Kudela-Świątek Wiktoria
Published: December 2017

The main aim of this article is to analyse the essence and usefulness of beyond-academic usage of oral history as a particularly important part of public history. It discusses oral history as a part of public history as practised by some Polish socio-cultural institutions who concentrate on documenting people’s memories. The author focuses her attention of four centres documenting people’s accounts and their recordings collections. In her opinion, these main Polish centres are: the “Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” in Lublin, the History Meeting House and the KARTA Centre, the “Topografie” Association in Łódź and the Remembrance and Future” Center in Wrocław. In order to be able to fully analyse separate social initiatives in Poland, one needs to, in the first place, pay attention to the uniqueness of oral history in the post-Communist countries. Having this context in mind, it is easier to present the way this technique has been adapted to the documentary arena in Poland. First and foremost, the author is most interested in what subjects are covered within the scope of programmes run by these institutions, and what picture of the past is promoted by these institutions in today’s public sphere. She also tackles issues connected with social archive studies conducted by the institutions she is talking about. It is her opinion, that by archiving the testimonies of witnesses to history, these institutions successfully fulfil their task: they do not make their findings and knowledge a secret, they do not treat it as something only a small group of chosen researchers on contemporary history can have access to. Instead, they make it available to anyone who is willing to learn history as presented in individual witnesses’ stories. Somewhere in the background remains the question of the avant-garde and outsiders division, as towards the end of the article the author wants to present as fully as possible the place of beyond-academic oral history in Poland as compared to oral history developed by academic circles.

Barcelona´s indianas manufacture
Authors: Rossi Roberto
Published: December 2017

The paper aims to contribute to the debate about the emergence and development of management accounting in Europe by presenting an example of management accounting in Spain in the second half of the eighteenth century. The paper deepens the case of an indianas (cotton canvas printed and dyed) factory in Barcelona, exploring the productive organization and managerial structure using the accounting books of the firm. The firm’s methods of production, work organization, product costing, and production quality control are reviewed within the political and economic context of Spain during a period of deep transformation with the enthronement of a new monarchy and a deep change in the economic policy. The evidence presented in the paper support the existence of rudimentary management accounting and control techniques in a private firm in the midst of European industrialization.
The role of accounting in the industrialization efforts of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century
Authors: Güvemli Batuhan
Published: December 2017

When the need for industrialization surfaced in the 19th century, Ottoman Empire aimed to establish state-led, profit-oriented enterprises after the Imperial Edict of 1839, which is also known as Tanzimat. Experienced accountants of the state tried to do the investment calculations of an iron factory in the 1840s (Istanbul) by benefiting from the merdiban accounting method, which was initially developed to record the revenues and expenditures of the state. This study contributes to the relevant literature by analyzing the adequacy of this statist-centralist accounting method within a profit-oriented environment and its role in this failed attempt towards industrialization. Merdiban allows the separation of investments as actual construction, still projected and shows the payment status of investments in details. As one of the first profit oriented investment project in the history of the Ottoman Empire, accountants mislead critical pieces of information like plans for procurement of raw materials, projected sales, payback time, capacity and depreciation. Findings indicate that neither accountants nor the method were ready to operate in a for-profit organization, eventually resulting diminish of this old accounting method in 1879.

This paper is presented as a tribute to prof. Richard Mattessich. It is written “through the eyes” of a researcher who has worked closely with him over a period of 42 years, starting attending his courses of “Income Determination Theory” and “Research Methodology” at the University of British Columbia in 1975. Among his huge scientific research and publications, I intend to underline these three major contributions: (i) Accounting metrics and other mathematical instruments which anticipated computer spreadsheet by 30 years; (ii). The preparation of accountants for information economics by means of analytical methods; and (iii) The proposition of the “onion model of reality” to distinguish different Kind of reality.
