Abstract

The contributions gathered in this thematic section in volume 69 of Etnografia Polska explore
how contemporary anthropological approaches to local heritage, collective memory, and identity
examining the processes through which heritage is created, sustained, and reinterpreted within
different regional contexts in Poland, emphasizing its dynamic and socially embedded character.
Heritage is understood here as an ongoing, negotiated practice shaped by community agency,
emotional attachments, and relationships to place. The volume highlights bottom-up perspectives
and the role of local actors in constructing and transmitting cultural traditions. Across the articles,
heritage emerges not as a fixed legacy of the past but as a relational and contested field
continuously reshaped in response to cultural, political, and environmental change.
