    POWROTY DO TEMATÓW PASTERSKICH. ZWYCZAJE I WIERZENIA ZWIĄZANE Z ROZPOCZĘCIEM SEZONU PASTERSKIEGO NA POGRANICZU POLSKO-SŁOWACKIM W XXI WIEKU

    Abstrakt

    The article draws on preliminary research results of a research project on the history, migration, and cultural heritage of the Vlach minority inhabiting the areas from Albania to the northern Carpathians, which I have been conducting since 2015. This text is a discussion of one aspect of this topic, which entails the studies of the everyday life and rituals of the Highland pastoralists on the Polish side of the Carpathians. The article describes the issues concerning the organization and the time-space symbolism of a modern pasturage, especially the related to the ritual beginning of the grazing season as well as the shepherds’ topographical imagination. The research was conducted in the selected huts of Spiš, Orava, Podhale, Żywiec region, and Silesian Beskids in Poland in 2015–2018. In all cases, I applied qualitative research methods, mostly structured and unstructured interviews with senior and young shepherds working in the huts, as well as participant observation conducted during selected pastoral holidays and meetings in various spaces: in churches, during Highlander’s and Vlach conventions, shepherds meetings, and in the huts. I supplement these techniques with the analysis of the visual material that I gathered during the field research, received from the enthusiasts of this topic, or found on the Internet. The research has shown that modern pastoralism oscillates between two poles: the traditional, which has made it possible to retain many elements from the past derived from the Vlach law, and the modern, thanks to which shepherds introduce modern solutions to their huts.
